Umno gadai tanah Johor kepada Singapura

Khairul Azlam Mohmad Mon May 15, 06 1:46:04 pm MYT

KUALA NERUS, 15 Mei (Hrkh) – Pemimpin Umno dan kerajaan Barisan Nasional (BN) didakwa telah menggadai sejumlah tanah di negeri Johor kepada kerajaan Singapura pada awal tahun 1980-an lagi.
Pemimpin Umno pada waktu itu telah menyerahkan tanah seluas 51,170 hektar kepada Singapura dengan bayaran RM350 juta, kata Pengerusi Majlis Tindakan Rakyat Kelantan, Dato' Paduka Ibrahim Ali.
Beliau mendakwa Menteri Petanian dan Asas Tani yang juga bekas Menteri Besar Johor, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin bertanggungjawab menggadai tanah-tanah orang Melayu kepada Singapura.
"Saya terkejut, rupa-rupanya pada tahun 1980 sewaktu Muhyiddin Yassin jadi Menteri Besar dan waktu itu Musa Hitam jadi Timbalan Perdana Menteri tiada siapa pun tahu didedahkan bahawa pada tahun 1981, kerajaan Johor di bawah Muhyiddin telah menyerahkan tanah di kawasan Sungai Lingu iaitu di Bandar Tenggara Johor sebanyak 51,170 hektar kepada kerajaan Singapura," jelasnya.Beliau berkata demikian ketika berucap pada majlis Ceramah Perdana Menentang Penghinaan Terhadap Islam di perkarangan Maahad Tahfiz Wa-Tarbiyyah Darul Iman, Tok Jiring, baru-baru ini.
Katanya, kawasan tersebut tidak jauh dengan Kota Tinggi yang merupakan kawasan hamparan air seluas 51,170 hektar.
Menurutnya, kawasan berkenaan dipajak kepada kerajaan Singapura selama 60 tahun dengan kadar bayaran RM350 juta dan tidak dibenarkan sesiapa pun memasukinya sekarang ini.
Beliau mendapat maklumat tersebut ketika menghadiri suatu Majlis Dailog Kepentingan Bangsa Peringkat Negeri Johor pada 7 Mei lalu bersama Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah.
Menurutnya, taklimat tertutup itu dikendalikan oleh bekas Setiausaha Kerja Umno Johor, Encik Hamzah Othman yang juga bekas pengerusi guru-guru besar bersara.
"Sebelum itu, ada satu taklimat tertutup yang diberi oleh Encik Hamzah Othman, bekas pengerusi guru-guru besar bersara yang pernah jadi Setiausaha Kerja Umno Johor dahulu sewaktu Muhyiddin Yassin jadi Menteri Besar. Dia bagi taklimat dengan tayangan slide, cukup dari segi maklumat, dengan petanya, pelan toponya," jelasnya di hadapan lebih 10,000 orang hadirin.
Sehubungan itu, beliau turut melahirkan rasa kesal dan dukacita setelah enam tahun menganggotai Ahli Majlis Tertinggi Umno dan 13 tahun menjadi Ketua Bahagian Umno tidak mengetahui isu tersebut.
Katanya, empangan tersebut dibuat setinggi 193 meter dan jika pecah atau dipecahkan seluruh Kota Tinggi termasuk Bandar Tenggara boleh tenggelam.

200 Bakal Menganggur Menjelang Ramadhan

KUALA TERENGGANU - Nasib lebih 200 pekerja mungkin bakal kehilangan pekerjaan masing-masing menjelang bulan Ramadan serta sambutan hari raya Idulfitri tahun ini.Ia adalah kerana sikap tidak cakna kerajaan Barisan Nasional (BN) Terengganu yang bercakap kosong membelakangi slogan Perdana Menteri, Dato’ Seri Mohd Najib Razak, ‘Rakyat didahulukan, pencapaian diutamakan’.

Seramai 35 pemilik perniagaan di Jalan Bandar, dekat sini, terpaksa menutup premis mereka apabila pihak Lembaga Tabung Amanah Warisan Negeri Terengganu (LTAWNT) memerintahkan mereka berpindah pada 13 Ogos ini.Sehubungan itu, Badan Bertindak Peniaga terbabit mengadakan satu sesi dialog dengan Majlis Permuafakatan Rakyat Terengganu (Mampat) bagi menghadapi notis singkat selama 30 hari yang telah dikeluarkan pada 13 Julai .

AMNESTY AWARD FOR AUNG SAN SUU KYI

On behalf of KEADILAN, I would like to offer my heartfelt congratulations to Aung San Suu Kyi on receiving the Ambassador of Conscience Award for 2009 from Amnesty International on 27 July 2009.
Her unwavering courage and determination, as well as her immense personal sacrifice, have inspired millions around the world and have made her an icon for the universal struggle for democracy and human rights.
At the same time, the continuing illegal detention of the leader of a party which won a national election more than two decades ago is an affront to universal principles of justice and democracy. It reflects badly on the world that, after so long, the international community’s political will to put a stop to it has been found lacking.
It is even more shameful that the governments of ASEAN member countries, including Malaysia, have been even more half-hearted in their efforts to push the Junta to free Aung San Suu Kyi and restore democracy in Burma. They should by now be ready to admit that their strategy of neighbourly engagement and persuasion has been an abject failure. Worse still, it has facilitated continuing covert support of individuals and companies, including in Malaysia, doing lucrative business with the military junta, which has contributed not a little to its ability to cling onto their illegal power.
ASEAN should also abandon its misguided – not to mention immoral – policy of non-interference in the “internal affairs” of its member states, as if such affairs exist in a vacuum. The folly of this stand is by now obvious since, as a result of its continuing inability or disinclination to bring Burma into line, ASEAN’s reputation, and consequently its influence in the world, has suffered a significant decline. This in turn has caused considerable damage to the economic wellbeing and competitiveness of all member states. In short, ASEAN nations, in this global era, not to mention economic recession, disregard the Burma problem at their common peril.
August 8 marks the 21st anniversary of the Burmese people’s brave, but unfortunately unsuccessful, uprising aimed at overthrowing the military regime. By bestowing this award on Aung San Suu Kyi, Amnesty International, a universally respected organisation, is not only racking up the pressure on the junta itself, but giving a firm reminder to political leaders, especially Burma’s neighbours, to do more than simply utter politically correct platitudes regarding this important issue.
For the rest of us, as Aung San Suu Kyi remains in detention, let us be inspired anew by her shining example and let our outrage at the continuing injustice against her be reaffirmed. Let us redouble our efforts to press for her immediate release, as well as enhance our initiatives to establish freedom, justice and democracy in our own country, in Burma and in every nation.

Malaysians must rise to protect freedom of expression and information

Minister of Information, Communication and Culture Rais Yatim's announcement that the Federal Government plans to introduce an Internet filter is yet another example of the increasingly draconian nature of the Najib administration.
The MSC Malaysia 10 Point Bill of Guarantees spells out in no uncertain terms that there will be no censorship of the Internet. This plan clearly renders the bill meaningless.
Datuk Seri Rais' assurance that the filter will only target pornography holds no water. Instead, it marks the beginning of a slippery slope with no end to it, except possibly a Big Brother government that monitors every move made by Malaysians. A senior official with the National Security Council (NSC) was already quoted in an AFP report as saying that "bloggers who inflame racial sentiments" are targeted by this censorship plan.
It is clear that this is a backdoor way to censor views that are sympathetic to the Pakatan Rakyat, be they on blogs, news Web sites or forums.
The government needs to stop looking at banning as a catch-all solution. There are already adequate laws of the land such as the Multimedia Commission Act, the Penal Code and Defamation Act, while self-control and regulation must also be emphasised. To use China's flawed and postponed Green Dam as a model is highly frightening to Malaysians who cherish what little freedom we have to express ourselves. A University of Michigan study had exposed security vulnerabilities of this software. Furthermore, the result will likely be a proliferation of black market means to circumvent any censorship.
Despite being the Minister of Communications, Rais' hostility to the Internet is well known, as he recently described it as a form of ‘colonisation’.
I call on Malaysians, particularly those of the Internet generation, to rise up and protect the only space we have for open discussion of issues that affect our live and our country.
