| Benarkah 80% pengundi India sokong BN di Merlimau Posted: 05 Mar 2011 07:04 AM PST Pas dan Pakatan Rakyat telah mencuba habis-habisan untuk memastikan kaum India kekal memberi sokongan keapada Pakatan Rakyat sehingga PRU 13 akan datang. Ini penting supaya lebih banyak kebaikan, kebajikan kaum ini terbela dibawah kerajaan PR. Mereka telah memberi peluang lebih 50 tahun kepada BN untuk membela nasib mereka tapi selepas tsunami PRU 12 barulah BN nampak perlunya pelbagai kemudahan diberikan itu pun setelah melihat dengan mata kepala sendiri betapa terbela nya nasib kaum India di negeri-negeri Pakatan Rakyat. Sementara itu Bernama melapurkan sebentar tadi bahawa Naib Presiden MIC, Datuk Dr. S. Subramaniam yakin 80 peratus pengundi kaum India di Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Merlimau akan memberi sokongan kepada Barisan Nasional pada hari pengundian esok. Katanya, beliau telah berjumpa lebih 70 peratus pengundi dari kaum tersebut setakat ini dan MIC berpuas hati dengan respons yang diberikan. Kita sama-sama tunggu jawapan nya esok.  |

Personal Integrity In the year 2009, I bought a house with the price of RM600,000. I took up 30 years loan and jointly financed by my parents, my wife and my own savings. Other than that, I owned an apartment unit which I purchased in year 1999 and fully settled the loan sometime in 2005. The price is probably 120K now. The vehicle I am owning is a 10 years old Proton Wira. The insurance company said it is probably 13K in value. I also have 4 bicycles (1 adult, 3 for kids) and the estimated total value is RM1000.

| Julian Assange: At the Forefront of 21st Century Journalism Posted: 04 Mar 2011 09:46 PM PST by: Kevin Zeese, t r u t h o u t | News Analysis If there were ever a doubt about whether the editor in chief of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, is a journalist, recent events erase all those doubts and put him at the forefront of a movement to democratize journalism and empower people. The US Department of Justice is still trying to find a way to prosecute Assange and others associated with WikiLeaks. A key to their prosecution is claiming he is not a journalist, but that weak premise has been made laughable by recent events. The list of WikiLeaks revelations has become astounding. During the North African and Middle East revolts, WikiLeaks published documents that provided people with critical information. The traditional media has relied on WikiLeaks publications, and is now also emulating WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks has been credited by many with helping to spark the Tunisian revolution because it provided information about the widespread corruption of the 23-year rule of the Ben Ali regime. PBS pointed to ten cables, dating from 2006 to 2009 and published by WikiLeaks in November, that were translated and shared widely in Tunisia detailing the corruption and authoritarian rule of Ben Ali, who lived in opulent luxury while Tunisians struggled. Foreign Policy reported that, “the candor of the cables released by WikiLeaks did more for Arab democracy than decades of backstage US diplomacy.” In Egypt, WikiLeaks publications provided democracy activists with the information needed to spark protests, provided background that explained the Egyptian uprising and described the suppression of opinions critical of the regime by arrest and harassment of journalists, bloggers and a poet. They showed the common use of police brutality and torture; the abuse of the 1967 emergency law to arrest and indefinitely detain journalists, activists, labor leaders and members of the Muslim Brotherhood; as well as how rivals were removed to ensure Gamal Mubarak succeeded his father. Traditional media publications like The New York Times relied on WikiLeaks to analyze the causes of the uprising. Another set of documents described how Israel and the US wanted Omar Suleiman to replace Mubarak. Suleiman, a military intelligence officer for three decades, was described by Secretary of State Clinton as the preferred successor. WikiLeaks wrote an article describing Suleiman’s close relationship with the United States. Suleiman described Egypt as “a partner” with the US, and the US described him as “the most successful element of the relationship” with Egypt. The long history of Suleiman working with Israel to suppress democracy in Gaza, keeping the people of Gaza hungry and being in constant contact with Israel through a hotline was revealed. WikiLeaks also showed that Suleiman shared US and Israeli concern over Iran and was disdainful of Muslims, and the Muslim Brotherhood, in politics. All of this made Suleiman very popular with Israel and the US, but unacceptable to democracy advocates. The United States used some WikiLeaks publications to show that it had been critical of Egypt and exerted private pressure, as well as support for democracy activists like Mohamed ElBaradei. Despite what has been portrayed in the traditional media, WikiLeaks published materials with an agenda for transparency and an informed public, not an intent to harm the US. WikiLeaks informed the Bahrain public about their government’s cozy relationship with the US. It described a $5 billion joint venture with Occidental Petroleum and $300 million in US military sales. ABC reported on WikiLeaks documents that described the close relationship between US and Bahrain intelligence agencies and how the US Navy is the foundation of Bahrain’s national security. This fact was emphasized to General Petraeus along with the US and Bahrain’s common opposition to Iran and to al-Qaeda in Iraq, and the two country’s shared desire for US troops to stay in Iraq. WikiLeaks has been criticized by US enemies. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad described WikiLeaks as US “intelligence warfare,” saying: “These documents are prepared and released by the US government in a planned manner and in pursuance of a goal.” WikiLeaks was criticized by Libya’s Ghaddafi, who shut down Facebook in Tripoli and sporadically shut off the Internet to prevent Libyans from knowing the truth. No doubt WikiLeaks publications embarrassed Ghaddafi and added fuel to internal opposition to his regime. WikiLeaks is filling a void in the traditional media as the level of distrust of the mass media is now at record highs. A recent Gallup poll found 57 percent of Americans do not trust the media, and a Pew poll found a record-low 29 percent trust the media. There is good reason for distrust. The New York Times helped start the Iraq War by publishing the false weapons of mass destruction story. It recently misled the public about a Blackwater employee arrested in Pakistan by hiding the fact that he worked for the CIA, reporting that Obama said he was a diplomat. Even the way the Times and The Washington Post reported on WikiLeaks documents showed reason for distrust. WikiLeaks described Iranian long-range missiles that could hit European cities, but also reported that Russian intelligence refuted the claim. The Times and the Post evidently made a decision to exaggerate Iranian capability and mislead readers by excluding the Russian intelligence report. The Times admits it provides WikiLeaks documents to the government in advance and excludes material at the request of the government. There has been a steady decline in readers and viewers of newspapers and television news since 1980. The decline began before the existence of the Internet. The decline in younger readers has been particularly noticeable. Thirty years ago, 60 percent of people under age 36 read a newspaper daily; now it is only 30 percent. The Internet has seen a steady rise in viewers and news outlets. Even though some in the traditional media are threatened by WikiLeaks, more and more outlets are acknowledging their journalism. Reporters Without Borders hosts a mirror site of WikiLeaks as “a gesture of support for WikiLeaks’ right to publish information without being obstructed.” Similarly, a mainstream French newspaper, Liberation, announced a “mirror-WikiLeaks” site on its web site. Jeff Jarvis of the City University of New York’s (CUNY) Graduate School of Journalism writes: “We in journalism must recognize that WikiLeaks is an element of a new ecosystem of news. It is a new form of the press. So we must defend its rights as media. If we do not, we could find our own rights curtailed. Asking whether WikiLeaks should be stopped is exactly like asking whether this newspaper should be stopped when it reveals what government does not want the public to know. We have been there before; let us never return.” The Guardian wrote in an editorial: “There is a need as never before for an internet that remains a free and universal form of communication. WikiLeaks’ chief crime has been to speak truth to power. What is at stake is nothing less than the freedom of the internet.” Jay Rosen of the New York University journalism school describes WikiLeaks as the first stateless news agency. The actions of WikiLeaks, he noted, show our news organizations how “statist they really are” and leakers’ choice to go to WikiLeaks rather than the traditional media shows how distrustful people are of the corporate media. This all shows that “the watchdog press has died” and WikiLeaks is filling the void. The void will exist – and be filled – whether or not the Department of Justice prosecutes Julian Assange. The Economist writes: “With or without WikiLeaks, the technology exists to allow whistleblowers to leak data and documents while maintaining anonymity. With or without WikiLeaks, the personnel, technical know-how, and ideological will exists to enable anonymous leaking and to make this information available to the public. Jailing Thomas Edison in 1890 would not have darkened the night.” The traditional media is emulating WikiLeaks. Al Jazeera has created a “transparency unit” that launched in January 2011 and has published the Palestine Papers, which describe the Palestinian-Israeli peace process based on leaked documents. The New York Times is now talking about creating its own version of WikiLeaks. Students at CUNY’s Graduate School of Journalism designed LocaLeaks, allowing anonymous encrypted leaks to over 1,400 US newspapers. Government employees and business insiders can now report illegal or unethical practices without being identified. The journalism democracy door has been opened, power to report is being redistributed, government employees and corporate whistleblowers are being empowered and greater transparency is becoming a reality. The United States would be better off accepting these realities than prosecuting the news organization that showed the way. Prosecution will highlight the utter hypocrisy of the US government, showing the world it does not mean what it says when it claims that freedom of the speech and press are cornerstones of democratic government. |

| Mengapa Takut Dengan Perubahan Posted: 04 Mar 2011 09:40 PM PST Pagi ini terpampang amaran pemimpin Umno agar pembangkang jangan bermain api. Amaran ini dikeluarkan oleh pimpinan Umno kerana para pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat memulakan inisiatif membandingkan antara tuntutan Perubahan yang diungkapkan di Timur Tengah serta Afrika Utara dengan tuntutan Perubahan di Malaysia. Sebenarnya apa yang Pakatan Rakyat lakukan sekadar mengingatkan kerajaan agar mengambil iktibar akan beberapa persoalan mendasar yang menjadi punca kemarahan penduduk di Libya, Mesir dan Tunisia misalnya. Apakah peringatan yang diungkapkan kita agar kekayaan jangan hanya tertumpu kepada segelintir manakala masih ramai yang terpaksa membanting tulang untuk sesuap nasi itu suatu usaha meniup kebencian? Apakah usaha kita mendedahkan betapa 1.36 juta(34%) dari 4 juta pekerja di Malaysia dibayar kurang dari RM 700 sebulan, manakala 40% dari keseluruhan rakyat Malaysia hanya menikmati pendapatan isi rumah kurang dari RM 1500 itu suatu usaha hasutan? Hanya mereka yang memahami Demokrasi itu sekadar pilihanraya 5 tahun sekali menganggap usaha mengungkapkan kebenaran sebagai suatu hasutan. Nah sekarang apa bezanya propaganda diktator di sana dengan regim Umno-BN di sini? Ternyata yang menghasut dan meniup kebencian adalah pimpinan Umno-BN, bukannya Pakatan Rakyat. Hampir setiap hari tohmahan dilemparkan kepada pimpinan Pakatan Rakyat seumpama agen pengkhianat dan agen asing. Modus operandi yang sama digunakan oleh diktator di Mesir dan Libya terhadap penentangnya. Cumanya, hanya di Malaysia, regim pemerintah berusaha menghalang kemaraan Perubahan dengan fitnah liwat. Persoalannya mengapa pimpinan Umno-BN begitu gusat dengan Perubahan yang melanda Timur Tengah dan Afrika Utara sekiranya negara kita tidak berhadapan dengan permasalahan tersebut. Oleh kerana terlalu takut, Dato’ Sri Najib, sepertimana yang dilaporkan National Review, sanggup meragui sosok ulama terkenal, Sheikh Yusuf al Qaradawi serta menuduh gerakan Ikhwan al Muslimun masih terbabit dengan keganasan. Apa yang pasti, laungan mahu melaksanakan perubahan oleh pimpinan Umno hanya sekadar kosmetik politik. Rakyat sedar pengumuman demi pengumuman langsung tidak membawa manfaat kepada mereka melainkan menguntungkan mereka yang dekat dengan pemerintah. Justeru kepada pemimpin Umno-BN yang mengeluarkan amaran itu, saya ingatkan mereka, “Hanya mereka yang makan cili terasa pedasnya.” ANWAR IBRAHIM |

| Perlukah PAS tubuh unit gerak jihadnya? Posted: 04 Mar 2011 04:59 PM PST  30 Rabiulawal 1432H. [MOD] -Oleh: WFAUZDIN NS APABILA difikirkan semula dengan situasi dan pengalaman yang pernah PAS lalui di dalam apa jua program termasuk penyertaan PAS di dalam pilihanraya, mungkin sudah tiba masanya PAS mewujudkan satu sayap seperti Unit Amal, tetapi sayap ini lebih ke hadapan bila berhadapan dengan situasi genting. Jika Pemuda Umno mempunyai kumpulan Gerak Gempur yang dilihat lebih radikal di dalam keadaan-keadaan tertentu terutamanya menimbulkan provokasi, maka PAS juga perlu wujudkan kumpulan yang lebih aktif dan berani mempertahankan PAS malahan juga mampu berhadapan dengan sebarang ancaman musuh terhadap Islam dan negara ini. Saya lebih suka jika sayap PAS ini diberi nama Unit Gerak Jihad. Keanggotaan kumpulan ini mestilah terdiri daripada ahli-ahli PAS khususnya yang berani, bermoral serta sentiasa taat kewajipannya kepada Allah. Mereka mestilah dilatih dengan penuh disiplin dan tahu kewajipan mereka terhadap parti khususnya. Jika selama ini Unit Amal lebih kepada kumpulan yang bertugas melakukan kerja-kerja amal, kebajikan dan selaku pengawal keselamatan sahaja, maka diharapkan dengan adanya Unit Gerak Jihad ini mereka sukarela sanggup mempertahankan Islam terutamanya di dalam apa jua bentuk ancaman. Unit ini bukan satu kumpulan yang ingin berperang atau memberontak seperti kumpulan radikal Islam di luar sana. Unit ini hanya berfungsi sebagai pelindung kepada PAS dan juga boleh digerakkan seandainya terdapat sebarang bentuk ancaman musuh terhadap negara ini. Mereka hendaklah diberi tarbiyyah tentang pengertian Jihad mengikut Islam. Walaupun PAS yang mewujudkan unit ini, namun objektif utama Unit Gerak Jihad ini adalah untuk keselamatan negara, amnya. Mempertahankan tanahair dari ancaman musuh itu merupakan satu kewajipan. Melindungi PAS sebagai wadah politik Islam juga satu kewajipan buat kita. Seandainya wujud unit seperti ini, maka tiada lagi mana-mana pihak yang sewenang-wenangnya ingin menghancurkan PAS secara tidak demokratik dan negara kita juga akan terkawal dari ancaman musuh. Jangan kita hanya membiarkan puak-puak yang memusuhi Islam dan parti kita berbuat sesuka hati dan kita lebih suka mengalah./wfauzdin.blogspot.com Ulasan Cina Islam : Satu cadangan yang saya anggap perlu difikirkan secara matang oleh pimpinan PAS disemua peringkat berdasarkan senario UMNO dan BN semakin ganas dan semakin tin tidak menghormati undang-undang yang sedia ada.  |
| Kereta Anwar dikepung dan dibaling batu. Posted: 04 Mar 2011 04:51 PM PST  30 Rabiulawal 1432H. [MOD] -Oleh: WFAUZDIN NS MUHYIDDIN secara terang-terangan merestui tindakan tidak bertamaddun beberapa kumpulan yang mengkasari DS Anwar yang berkunjung ke Felda Jengka 22 pada Khamis malam lepas. Kereta yang dinaiki oleh DS Anwar dikepung dan dibaling batu oleh sekumpulan `monyet' upahan. Apa kata Muhyiddin selaku PM 1 Malaysia? Beliau memberi komen seperti orang bodoh iaitu katanya, "Insiden Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dikasari di kawasan Felda di Kerdau mungkin disebabkan penduduk kawasan itu menyampah dengannya. "Itu (terjadi) kalau orang Felda tak boleh menerima Anwar. Kerana itu kampung mereka sendiri, itu hak merekalah," kata Muhyddin yang juga timbalan presiden Umno. "Mungkin kerana mereka dah menyampah, (dan) tidak hendak dengar lagi cerita karut-marut dan berdosa lagi. Jadi lebih baik (Anwar) jangan masuk." (Malaysiakini) Itukah komen dari seorang PM? Bayangkan jika Muhyiddin bertandang ke Kalantan, Selangor atau P.Pinang yang ramai orang tidak suka kepadanya maka beliau dilakukan sedemikian? Agak-agaknya apa komen beliau? Agak-agaknya pihak polis akan buat apa? Mesti kecoh Utusan Meloya dan TV 3 suku akan ulas macam lalat hurung tahi. Dilaporkan sekitar tapak ceramah ditabur dengan paku dan beberapa kenderaan mengalami kerosakan. Ini kerja bangsat dan bacul oleh puak yang tidak beragama dan tidak bermoral. Pemimpin yang merestui puak ini pun setaraf dengan mereka juga. Satu kelemahan di pihak kita ialah kita mungkin tidak mempunyai satu Unit yang mampu mengawal pimpinan kita. Jika ada pun, kita mungkin tidak merancang serapi mungkin apakah tindakan yang boleh kita lakukan jika berlaku situasi seperti itu. Sebab itu saya ada menulis di sini betapa kita perlu wujudkan Unit Gerak Jihad. Tidak mustahil suatu hari nanti kita hanya mampu melihat Tuan Guru Nik Aziz atau Tuan Guru Hj Hadi dibaling batu atau diludah oleh `monyet-monyet' upahan Apco itu. Ini satu pengajaran buat kita yang sering lalai atau tidak peka dengan aspek keselamatan pimpinan dan para penyokong kita. Bagaimana mungkin puak mereka boleh datang ke tapak ceramah kita dengan melakukan kerja menabur paku-paku di serata tempat? Mana mungkin kenderaan yang membawa pimpinan kita tidak dikawal serapi mungkin? Kita mahu harapkan kawalan pihak Polis semata-mata?/wfauzdin.blogspot.com  |

| Fools No More, They’re Breaking Out Posted: 05 Mar 2011 12:52 AM PST By Kee Thuan Chye MALAYSIAN university students must surely realize that they have more power now than they have ever had in the last four decades. This accounts for their robust participation in politics in recent days. Not only in university campuses, but also in the public sphere. Suppressed for so long [...] |

| Skim Tanam Semula Peneroka, Bayaran Semula Sampai 12 kali Ganda! Posted: 05 Mar 2011 06:11 AM PST Harap para pengundi di Kerdau dan Merlimau, renungkan keprihatinan FELDA menjaga kepentingan peneroka daripada berita ini. Dengan syarat pembayaran balik RM650 selama 20 tahun yang dikenakan, bermakna peneroka sebenarnya terpaksa membayar RM156,000 iaitu 12 kali ganda dari jumlah yang dipinjam. Ingatan itu dinyatakan Pengerusi Persatuan Anak-anak Peneroka Felda Kebangsan (Anak), Mazlan Aliman pada sidang media di markas induk PAS di Kerdau hari ini.  "Jangan kerana nak kejar duit RM13,000, selepas pilihan raya kena tanggung hutang tidak lebih dari RM200,000, sangat tidak berbaloi dengan jumlah pinjaman RM13,000," katanya.Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak sebelum ini mengumumkan janji untuk memberi pinjaman wang SES sebanyak RM13,000 seorang kepada peneroka, dengan syarat peneroka perlu membayar balik RM650 sebulan selama 20 tahun. Timbalan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Ahmad Maslan ketika berkempen di Felda di Kerdau kemudiannya berjanji akan membuat bayaran RM13,000 itu pada hari Isnin, 7 Mac ini iaitu sehari selepas hari mengundi. Ianya dilihat cubaan memancing undi peneroka yang akan mengundi esok agar memilih BN. "Kalau RM13,000 kena bayar balik dekat RM200,000, saya nasihatkan peneroka pinjam sahaja dengan bank. "Ini bukan lagi tolong, tapi betul-betul along yang mengaut keuntungan berlipat kali ganda," ujarnya lagi. Pada sidang media sama, beliau juga sekali mencabar Ahmad untuk berdialog dengannya walaupun cabarannya beberapa kali sebelum ini ditolak. Berhubung hak milik tanah pula, Mazlan mahu Menteri Besar Pahang, Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob adil kepada peneroka. Menteri Besar itu sebelum ini mengumumkan pemberian hak milik hanya kepada peneroka di Jengka 23 sahaja, sedangkan kata Mazlan, Jengka 22 juga perlu mendapat perkara sama.  |
