Peguam Perancis: Kamu Salah, Zahid Hamidi

Malaysiakini

Mahkamah Perancis yang menjalankan inkuiri berhubung urusniaga kapal selam Scorpene Malaysia-Perancis mempunyai kuasa memanggil semua pihak untuk membuat pengakuan dalam prosiding di negara itu.

“Mahkamah Perancis mempunyai bidang kuasa terhadap semua orang, tidak kira orang Perancis atau tidak, selagi mereka terlibat dalam perkara melibatkan inkuiri sedia ada.

“Dakwaan sebaliknya salah dan mengelirukan,” kata peguam Perancis Joseph Breham dalam kenyataan yang keluarkan Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram).

Breham (kiri) mewakili NGO hak asasi itu, yang merujuk kepada mahkamah Perancis.

Menteri Pertahanan Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi sebelum ini berkata, mahkamah Perancis tidak mempunyai kuasa mengarahkan rakyat Malaysia membuat pengakuan dalam inkuiri yang sedang berlangsung itu.

Rakyat Malaysia tidak tertakluk kepada undung-undang negara itu, katanya dalam sidang media selepas lawatan ketua tentara Thailand di kementeriannya, seperti disiarkan oleh Mob.tv.

Zahid antara saksi yang disenaraikan Suaram kepada mahkamah Perancis.

Hanya 20% Pengurusan Tertinggi Felda Menyokong Penyenaraian

Posted: 15 May 2012 10:51 PM PDT

Pada 18 Oktober 2011 jam 11 pagi, pengurusan Felda Global Ventures Holdings Sdn Bhd (FGV) telah mengadakan Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Penyenaraian FGV yang ketiga dipengerusikan oleh Tan Sri Isa Samad. Antara lainnya, mesyuarat tersebut membincangkan kesediaan pengurusan Felda dan pandangan mereka mengenai penyenaraian FGV dan penstrukturan korporat yang akan berlaku berikutan penyenaraian tersebut.

Boston Consulting Group (BCG) adalah salah satu daripada juru runding yang dilantik untuk menerajui proses penyenaraian ini. Selain menyediakan pelan langkah-langkah penyenaraian, BCG juga bertanggungjawab menilai kesediaan dan pandangan pengurusan Felda mengenai tindakan Barisan Nasional menyenaraikan FGV dan aset-aset berkaitan Felda.

KEADILAN telah berjaya mendapatkan salinan laporan yang dibentangkan oleh BCG kepada pengurusan Felda dan FGV di dalam mesyuarat tersebut.

Mukasurat 4 dari laporan tersebut yang menyentuh mengenai kesediaan dan pandangan pengurusan Felda ada disertakan bersama.

Kesimpulan yang dibuat oleh BCG setelah menemuramah dan mengadakan kajiselidik melibatkan 30 orang pengurusan tertinggi Felda dalam bulan Oktober 2011 adalah seperti berikut:
 
1.      Cabaran terbesar untuk menjayakan proses penyenaraian ini adalah pandangan pengurusan tertinggi Felda sendiri yang menentang keputusan tersebut;
 
2.      Lebih separuh dari pengurusan Felda (55%) tidak bersedia untuk melalui proses penyenaraian ini;
 
3.      Hanya 20% dari pengurusan tertinggi Felda yang benar-benar menyokong proses penyenaraian; dan
 
4.       65% dari pengurusan tertinggi Felda percaya proses penyenaraian ini akan gagal kerana Felda masih belum bersedia.

Pendedahan ini mengesahkan bahawa proses penyenaraian yang cuba dilakukan Barisan Nasional mendapat tentangan hebat dari kalangan pimpinan tertinggi Felda sendiri. Ini memberi gambaran bahawa mereka yang lebih arif dan mengikuti proses dalaman sepanjang keputusan menyenaraikan Felda berpandangan penyenaraian ini lebih membawa keburukan daripada kebaikan kepada Felda dan peneroka.
Tentangan pengurusan tertinggi Felda ini akan menyulitkan proses penyenaraian dan membawa risiko bahawa ia akan gagal kerana tidak mendapat kerjasama kakitangan Felda.
Makanya, adalah menjadi tanggungjawab Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak dan Tan Sri Isa Samad untuk memberikan penjelasan kenapa pandangan dan tentangan pengurusan tertinggi Felda ini tidak diambil kira dan penyenaraian Felda diteruskan jua.
Mereka juga perlu memberi jaminan bahawa pengurusan Felda sedia ada tidak diketepikan dan muka-muka baru yang lebih akur dengan kehendak Barisan Nasional akan dilantik mengisi sebahagian besar jawatan baru di dalam Felda.

“Why Won’t You Let Me Vote?!” – Najib Drowned Out By Protestors At The Dome

Posted: 15 May 2012 07:38 PM PDT

Sarawak Report

The Malaysian Prime Minister got a flavour of genuine democracy, when he ventured onto the stage in London's O2 Arena last night and was promptly drowned out by the sound of protest!

This is not something he would ever expect to have to put up with at home, in 'the world's most perfect democracy', where BN's events are brutally controlled.

Indeed, even in the UK it is not often that an audience is impolite to someone as senior as a Prime Minister.

However, it does sometimes happen when that PM has made himself extremely unpopular. Tony Blair famously received a noisy rebuff from ladies of the Women's Institute back in 2000 and last night it was Najib's turn to be overwhelmed by the chant of "Bersih, Bersih", as he made his speech.

"Can you please stop it?"

According to attendees, the audience of around 500 people was already fairly disgruntled, after arriving at the Dome and discovering themselves in the dark chewing unappetising sandwiches and spring rolls. The poor quality of the refreshments may have saved money, but were a poor reward for those who had been bussed in from as far away as Edinburgh!

The protest was clearly pre-planned and extremely predictable. Many believed that the lack of light was an attempt to hide it as much as possible. If so it didn't work, as numerous videos have recorded the event.

Cosy chat – but instead of staying as promised to “mingle” the PM dashed off early!
The moment the PM stepped onto the podium, under a single dazzling spotlight, the chanting began from a small but extremely loud group!

Others from the audience said they had felt intimidated by the strong presence of Special Branch officers, who had been taking photographs of the people there and recorded the personal details of people arriving.

However, many laughed and took pictures of the braver protestors.

Bersih demands in London

How did Najib ever imagine he was not going to face something like this at a public event in London? Malaysians abroad are furious at the refusal to prevent all one million of them from being entitled to a postal vote, which is allowed to people in other countries across the world.

At first, the PM tried to carry on, talking on some theme about a train having left the station and him wanting all Malaysians to be on it (despite it having already left). However, Najib soon wilted and gave up against the din:

"Can you stop it?" he pleaded rather timidly.

"Bersih! We want our vote!" retorted the chanters, getting louder!

"Can you PLEASE stop it" the PM asked, even more desperately, "I can talk to you about this afterwards", a suggestion that was met with laughter.

Having left early, the PM was later spotted eating in a restaurant with safer company!
Eventually and after a few more attempts by the floundering PM to take control of the situation, the noisiest protestors were finally strong-armed out of the Dome by security guards. Najib carried on with relief and boredom descended once more, as he got on with delivering the rest of the speech.

If this was meant as a PR event for the PM it will have done his image little good, either as a strong leader or as a reformer and democrat.

Once again the main message that got out was that it is time for Malaysia to respond to the Bersih movement and clean up its elections.

Scorpene Gate: You Can Run, But You Can’t Hide

The selection of comments posted by Malaysiakini subscribers.

‘If they don’t have anything to hide, there’s no reason why they shouldn’t respond positively to the French court’s request.

Paris court can’t touch us, says Zahid Hamidi

Starr: As leaders in the government, Premier Najib Abdul Razak and Defence Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi have the moral responsibility to respond in the affirmative and attend the court proceedings in Paris.

Refusal to attend is tantamount to perverting the course of justice. If they don’t have anything to hide, there’s no reason why they shouldn’t respond positively to the French court’s request.

To argue otherwise would be seen in a bad light, which could also affect the international standing of the country and the credibility of its leaders.

Freemsia: Why are you so worried about being called up to testify in a Paris court? If you are innocent, you do not have anything to fear or be so defensive. Unless, of course…?

HangTuah: This is the minister who once said he was prepared to lay down his life for the PM but did not have the balls to go down in the Scorpene submarine with Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng.

Maybe the French can’t legally touch Najib and Abdul Razak Baginda but that does not exonerate them from having committed graft in this particular case.

If they did no wrong why should they be scared to testify? You know why and I know why and everybody knows why. The 100-plus million euros ‘commission’ to Perimekar is clear evidence of a hefty kickback.

You know what, when it comes to matters of such import, our former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad has nothing to say. I wonder why. I really cannot wait for the beans to be spilled.

Confused: “Who are they to issue a warrant of arrest? We are not subjected to French laws,” said Zahid.

Such an arrogant comment. Let’s see how they are going to enter the European Union when that warrants are issued. We shall see who laugh last.

Multi Racial: When this minister talks, you can get a good feel of his intelligence. Obviously, something must be wrong with the way BN selects its ministers.

Come to think of it, they might be using other criteria, other than being honest, hardworking, intelligent, knowledgeable, non-racist and having some experience.

Cantabrigian: Zahid, of course you are not subjected to French law, but the company in France is. Corruption is not a one-way crime. There has to be a giver and a taker.

It’s not about arresting and punishing you, but mostly to find the facts about the criminal act. If they can find a link that Umno proxies were the ones doing the unlawful stuff, it’s good enough for the rakyat.

And don’t blame them for pointing the finger at you later because you have already been given the chance to testify and defend yourself.

Dood: Sure, the Paris court can’t touch you, but wait till it gets turned into a Europe-wide arrest warrant or, better yet, Interpol arrest warrant, and then let’s see whether you can hide in Malaysia forever.

Up2U: Well said, Ahmad Zahid. In Malaysia, who can touch you and your Umno colleagues, including your BN cronies, until and unless Umno so decide.

Don’t Run From Scorpene Inquiry, Najib told

Prime minister Najib Razak should protect the good name of the country and not avoid the on-going French probe into the alleged kickbacks linked to Malaysia’s purchase of the Scorpene submarines, said PAS’s Salahuddin Ayub.

"If the prime minister has integrity and wants to be seen as someone with dignity and morals, he should give full cooperation to all legal requirements," said the PAS vice president.
 
Last month, rights group Suaram revealed that French public prosecutors had obtained evidence in the form of a fax page dated June 1, 2001, in which Najib, the then Defence minister, had sought a payment of US$1 billion for Perimekar, a company owned by Abdul Razak Baginda.

Razak had been acquitted of a charge of murdering Mongolian citizen Altantuya Shaariibuu, with whom he said he had an affair and whose murder was linked to the Scorpene purchase.

The ongoing tribunal in Paris has listed several top Malaysian officials, including Najib and Defence minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

Zahid had earlier questioned the tribunal’s powers to issue a subpoena and seek Interpol help if witnesses refused to attend.

"Who are they to issue a warrant of arrest? We are not subjected to French laws," Zahid had said.

Salahuddin said Zahid’s remarks only raised more public suspicion over Najib's role in the case.

He added that Najib should instead use the opportunity in the French probe to clear his name once and for all.

"If UMNO is out of power, the new government will definitely give full cooperation to Interpol to drag Najib to the inquiry," said Salahuddin.
