| Jangan Halang Kaum Lain Jika Bantu Umat Islam Posted: 27 Aug 2011 01:29 AM PDT Video Ihsan Malaysiakini Umat Islam tidak harus menghalang kaum lain daripada menghulurkan bantuan kepada Muslim yang miskin kerana menjadi kewajiban kepada semua bagi membantu mereka yang memerlukan bantuan, kata Ketua Umum Pakatan Rakyat Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. "Kita tidak harus menghalang mereka… sesiapa sahaja, mana-mana kaum, mana-mana agama daripada menjalankan atau mengambil inisiatif untuk membantu sesiapa," kata beliau kepada pemberita di ibu pejabat PKR di sini hari ini. Gereja minta agar mereka diberi kebebasan untuk membantu golongan miskin tanpa mengira kaum, di sebalik dakwaan bahawa masyarakat Kristian berusaha untuk menukar agama umat Islam menerusi kerja-kerja kebajikan. Awal bulan ini, Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor menyerbu satu majlis makan malam muhibah yang diadakan di Gereja Methodist Damansara Utama ekoran aduan bahawa ada usaha untuk memurtadkan Muslim. Semalam, Exco kerajaan negeri Selangor Datuk Dr Hasan Ali mengumumkan penubuhan Unit Selamat Akidah yang akan bertindak sebagai platform menerima aduan dan permohonan bantuan daripada umat Islam di negeri itu. Hasan, Exco Hal Ehwal Islam, Adat Melayu, Infrastruktur dan Kemudahan Awam Selangor berkata, penubuhan unit itu diwujudkan berikutan masalah umat Islam terutamanya berhubung "dengan persoalan kristianisasi yang kini telah menarik perhatian umum." "Orang-orang Islam yang dihimpit oleh kesusahan dan kesempitan hidup didapati terdedah kepada risiko meggadaikan akidah mereka demi menyambung kehidupan yang lebih baik bersama ahli keluarga. "Pejabat ini memandang berat segala bentuk pandangan negatif terhadap apa yang sedia dilakukan oleh agensi-agensi kerajaan negeri, badan-badan dan pertubuhan sukarela yang dianggap tidak banyak membantu menyelesaikan masalah golongan ini," katanya. Bagaimanapun Anwar (gambar), yang juga Ketua Pembangkang berkata, usaha untuk memudahkan penggunaan wang zakat tidak seharusnya dilihat sebagai reaksi kepada usaha pihak Kristian yang banyak diperkatakan. "Kita ada saluran, kita ada sumber. Lakukan sahaja," katanya lagi. Beliau juga berkata, zakat negeri seharusnya diurus dengan telus bagi memastikan bantuan bagi golongan miskin sampai di tangan mereka yang memerlukan berbanding kerugian berbilion ringgit ekoran rasuah dalam sistem pentadbiran.

| Pakatan Alternative Budget Looking at ‘Floor Wage’ Posted: 27 Aug 2011 12:11 AM PDT The Pakatan working committee on the 2012 alternative budget announced today that it is looking to introduce a “floor wage” concept. Speaking to reporters after the committee’s weekly meeting, the coalition’s de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim said that this is different from minimum wage, which keeps wages “stuck” at a certain level. “We say floor wage to avoid confusion. What we need is to enhance the income of workers, and not to have it stuck as what is termed as minimum wage,” he said, after the meeting which involved trade unions and economists. “We regret that even GLCs like Proton and Perodua pay basic wages of below the poverty line at RM650 a month. “With alternative policy to reduce corruption, raise efficiency, no corruption and the lowering of costs through proper tender and renegotiation of unfair deals like highway tolls, we hope to have more savings and increased revenue…allowing us to be able to assist workers with a better and fairer deal,” he said. Adding to this, working committee member and PKR vice president Tian Chua said that what Pakatan aims to have are annual productivity and income targets, to gradually solve the conundrum of suppressed wages. “Minimum wage is only a tool because there is no level playing field for workers,” said the Batu MP. Shifting low-skilled industry abroad Among the measures considered, said committee member and PAS-Kuala Selangor MP Dzulkefly Ahmad is following the footsteps of Singapore by shifting low value low wage industry outside Malaysia. “Our critique of the situation is the over-reliance on low skill foreign workers. This is the bottle neck stopping the country from breaking away from shackle of low wages. “We cannot address this with the existence of foreign workers, who not only compete with locals for jobs but also come in every two years at the same level of wages,” he said. DAP representative and Klang MP Charles Santiago added that all this would require comprehensive labour market reform, which among others would address issues like outsourcing which exposes workers to abuse. The Pakatan working committee on the alternative budget meets weekly, and intends to unveil its alternative budget before the October tabling of the 2013 Federal Budget in Parliament.

| Pemohon Taraf Penduduk Tetap Dikesan Pula Didalam Daftar Pemilih SPR Posted: 26 Aug 2011 11:58 PM PDT Kontroversi yang menyelubungi sekitar kira-kira seribu penduduk tetap (PR) yang disenaraikan sebagai pengundi di laman web Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) semakin kusut dengan seorang pemegang kad pengenalan sementara pula turut dikesan.
Kad pengenalan sementara berwarna hijau, manakala penduduk tetap diberi kad merah dan warganegara Malaysia, pula berwarna biru. Semakan ini boleh dibuat di pangkalan data Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara (JPN) yang boleh diakses oleh orang ramai.
Ini bermakna bahawa Yusnati, seorang pengundi di DUN Chempaka dan kawasan parlimen Pandan, belum diberikan status pemastautin tetap tetapi dalam proses memohon untuk menjadi penduduk tetap. Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya pula, berkata bahawa pihaknya hanya akan dapat mengesahkan status Yusnati selepas cuti Hari Raya Aidilfitri kerana pegawai yang bertanggungjawab sudah mula bercuti.
Paling ketara adalah kes Mismah, pengundi di Ijok yang telah disenaraikan oleh JPN sebagai seorang pemastautin tetap pada semakan 2 Ogos lalu. Bagaimanapun status wanita itu dikemaskini pada pangkalan data JPN empat jam selepas Malaysiakini mendedahkan perkara itu pada hari yang sama. Ini menimbulkan pelbagai spekulasi. JPN kemudian menjelaskan bahawa Mismah yang dilahirkan di Indonesia itu sebenarnya, telah diberikan kewarganegaraan pada 31 Januari tahun ini, selepas 29 tahun sebagai penduduk tetap.

| New Investigation Into Film Maker That Took Millions From Malaysia Posted: 26 Aug 2011 02:37 PM PDT Press corps in Kuala Lumpur all knew FBC had close links to the Malaysian government with special access One of America’s most prestigious magazines, the 154-year-old The Atlantic, has become the latest high-profile news organisation to launch an investigation into its relationship with a media company that was allocated millions of pounds by the Malaysian government. The Washington-based magazine and website is “reviewing all transactions” it had with FBC, a media company that also produced television programmes for the BBC and the business channel CNBC. The Independent revealed this month that FBC had been hired by Malaysia in a “global strategic communications campaign”. The FBC programmes broadcast on BBC World News dealt with contentious issues including Malaysia’s treatment of its indigenous peoples, its management of rainforests and its controversial palm-oil industry. The BBC said: “FBC has now admitted to the BBC that it has worked for the Malaysian government. That information was not disclosed to the BBC as we believe it should have been when the BBC contracted programming from FBC. Given this, the BBC has decided to transmit no more programming from FBC while it reviews its relationship with the company.” The Atlantic has ordered a “full review” into its own relationship with FBC. Justin Smith, president of Atlantic Media Co, publisher of the magazine, has resigned from the board of FBC. FBC’s founder Alan Friedman, a long-term friend of Mr Smith’s, blogged for The Atlantic from this year’s World Economic Forum in Davos. Mr Friedman also encouraged The Atlantic to host an event in March in which the Malaysian Prime Minister, Najib Razak, was interviewed by a correspondent of The Atlantic. Natalie Raabe, director of communications for The Atlantic, said Mr Smith’s role at FBC was unpaid and “largely nominal”. She said that the magazine was “reviewing all interactions it has had with FBC and its chairman,” including blogs Mr Friedman wrote about Indonesia. “We have found several instances in which Friedman wrote positively about the Indonesian government and its representatives. Our internal process will seek to determine whether Friedman was representing Indonesia at the time he wrote for TheAtlantic.com.” She said the company was also examining blog comments made by Mr Friedman on Malaysia and had now attached an online reference to inform readers that he was working for the Malaysian government “at or around the time he wrote them”. FBC also made a half-hourly weekly programme for CNBC, part of the American NBC network. Many of its episodes featured Malaysia. CNBC has withdrawn the programme “indefinitely” and “immediately initiated an examination of FBC and its business practices”. Since publication of The Independent’s investigation, the newspaper has been contacted by numerous correspondents based in Kuala Lumpur, who complained that the broadcasters should have taken action earlier. One senior international journalist with a decade of experience in Malaysia, said FBC’s relationship with the Malaysian government was “common knowledge among the press corps in KL”. He said: “The real scandal is the failure by BBC and CNBC to police the outsourcing of their programmes. They need to answer some hard questions.” The BBC said it had “acted swiftly to suspend the broadcasting from FBC” and pointed out that “all independent TV companies who produce programmes for BBC World News have to sign strict agreements”. A former correspondent for a prominent US magazine said that correspondents became accustomed to seeing FBC granted access to “notoriously press-shy” senior political and business figures who would not speak to other sections of the media. “Knowing FBC and their modus operandi, it was pretty clear how it happened,” he said. The Independent has established that FBC also hired the Washington-based American lobbying company APCO Worldwide for the purpose of “raising awareness of the importance of policies in Malaysia that are pro-business and pro-investment as well as the significance of reform and anti-terrorism efforts in that country”. FBC denies impropriety in any of its programme-making. Its lawyers said in a letter that “at no time have the television programmes made for the BBC ever been influenced or affected by our client’s commercial activities”. It said that FBC ran production and commercial divisions, which “are and always have been quite separate and distinct”. The BBC, CNBC and the media regulator Ofcom continue to investigate.

Hasil maklumat daripada Pemuda PAS, Malaysiakini mendapati bahawa Yusnati Haris Lakmana yang disenaraikan sebagai pengundi di laman web SPR, adalah pemegang kad pengenalan sementara.
Semakan mendapati Yusnati adalah pemegang kad pengenalan (MyKad) hijau, dan telah mengumpul kad itu
Sebelum ini, dalam kes kira-kira seribu penduduk tetap yang disenaraikan sebagai pengundi dalam daftar pemilih, JPN dan SPR mendakwa kesilapan berpunca akibat “kecuaian teknikal”.
Pengerusi SPR, Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Yusof berkata JPN tidak mengemas kini pangkalan data mereka untuk menunjukkan bahawa penduduk tetap berkenaan telah diberikan kewarganegaraan.| You are subscribed to email updates from Anwar Ibrahim To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
