Checkmate For Najib Posted: 19 Jul 2015 10:43 PM PDT Over the last few weeks, we have seen many scrambling to salvage whatever that’s left of Prime Minister Najib Razak’s image. But it’s gotten even worse for him with the admirable news report in The Edge financial newspaper, saying evidence it has pieced together showed that various transactions between 1Malaysia Development Bhd and PetroSaudi International were a scam to steal USD 1.83 billion (RM6.9 billion) from Malaysia. And it’s now clear that the Sarawak Report website was blocked as Najib and others implicated in the 1MDB scandal had something to hide and not because of the spread of malicious propaganda that could destabilize the nation. In fact it’s the scheming done by flamboyant businessman Low Taek Jho together with elements within the government for financial greed, that destabilizes the financial stability of the country. And none of these back door deals could have been possible without Najib’s knowledge. Or he was taken for a joy ride by Jho Low and others. So it’s time for Najib to explain the dizzyingly complex scheme to swindle money from the Malaysian public and how it ended up in his bank account. And it looks like the multitask force investigating the 1MDB scandal has outlived its usefulness, particularly given the exposé by The Edge. All that’s now left is for the cabinet to ask Najib to resign. Or we can conclude that the cabinet is also in cahoots with the Prime Minister. Charles Santiago Member of Parliament Klang

'S’wak PKR must walk talk, cut ties with PAS' Posted: 19 Jul 2015 01:14 AM PDT No point for Sarawak PKR to maintain ties with PAS which has hudud as its primary objective but yet tell Gerakan Harapan Baru (GHB) to not push for it, said Sarawak DAP chairman Chong Chieng Jen. Sarawak PKR chief Baru Bian had recently called for the newly formed GHB, which is in the process of applying for registration as a political party, not to follow the path of PAS. He had said it should not press for hudud and acknowledge that Malaysia is a secular nation.   However Chong, in a statement today, declared it was long overdue for Sarawak PKR to decide to sever its ties with Sarawak PAS because of the latter's hudud agenda and the leadership of its president, Abdul Hadi Awang.   The Bandar Kuching MP said Hadi (photo) had made it clear that hudud is the main agenda of PAS. As the current leadership of Sarawak PAS is aligned to Hadi, it's thus also for hudud.   "When many progressive PAS members and leaders are losing hope on Hadi's leadership and trying to form a new party, it is incomprehensible that Sarawak PKR is still clinging to Sarawak PAS. "Is it mere indecisiveness or the lack of power on the part of Sarawak PKR to make a decision?" he queried.   "It has always been said by our late Chairman Karpal Singh, 'there are no permanent friends or enemies in politics, but permanent principles'. "The fundamental and permanent principle in this matter is that Malaysia is a secular state and that hudud law shall not be implemented in Malaysia."   Chong added if one were to truly believe in secularism in Malaysia, then given the current position of PAS under Hadi, it is impossible to work with PAS.  "Although Baru Bian (photo) may have spoken against hudud, however, PKR's continued association with PAS with PAS speaks otherwise. "Come elections, will PKR help PAS to campaign, knowing that PAS under Hadi's leadership will continue to pursue its hudud agenda and that the more elected representatives it has, the stronger will its push for the implementation of hudud in Malaysia?    "If the answer is "yes", then PKR will be compromising our secularism, if the answer is "no", then why the continued association?"   He held that PKR is maintaining a relationship with the current conservative PAS while hoping to work with GHB when it gets off the ground, is a very opportunistic approach to politics.  "Ultimately, you can't have the cake and eat it too," he asserted.   On Malaysiakini Jul 19, 2015

向新希望示好却拒放弃伊党 张健仁轰砂公正党做法投机 Posted: 19 Jul 2015 01:12 AM PDT 转载自《当今大马》 砂州行动党主席张健仁抨击，砂州公正党一方面期望与新希望团队合作，一方面却又没与伊党断交，是非常投机的做法。 张健仁今日发文告指出，虽然砂州公正党主席巴鲁比安（见图）要求新希望团队放弃伊刑法议程，但砂州公正党却继续与推动伊刑法的伊党维系。 "新希望团队属于伊党开明派，如今离开（伊党主席）哈迪阿旺所领导的伊党，以另组政党。" "公正党仍与保守的伊党维持关系，同时却希望在新希望团队成立新政党后与之合作，是在政治中非常投机的做法。" 《大马内幕者》昨日报道，巴鲁比安说，若新希望团队要获得自由与中庸的从政者接受，就必须摈弃推动伊刑法，以及承认我国是世俗国。 决定是否断交耽误过久 张健仁也是行动党全国副主席。他指出，砂州公正党在决定是否与砂州伊党断交一事上，耽误过久。 "哈迪阿旺已清楚表明，他所领导的伊党主议程是伊刑法。目前的砂州伊党领导层倾向哈迪，因此也就支持他的伊刑法议程。" "当许多伊党开明派党员和领袖，对哈迪领导失去信心，并尝试组织一个新政党时，砂州公正党仍与砂州伊党合作，令人费解。" 他质问，砂州公正党是否优柔寡断，抑或无权作出断交决定？ 公正党会否替伊党助选？ 张健仁进一步问，公正党在选举时，会否惟伊党助选？ "公正党知晓哈迪阿旺领导的伊党，会继续推动伊刑法议程，而伊党拥有越多议员，就会越加强推动落实伊刑法。一个很简单的问题，公正党在未来的选举，会否为伊党助选？" "若是的话，公正党将危害我们的世俗主义。否则，为何（公正党）继续（与伊党）结盟？鱼与熊掌，不可兼得。"
