Timbalan
Presiden PKR Azmin Azli menjelaskan, beliau tidak bertanding kerusi
presiden kerana tidak nampak keperluan untuk mencabar Datuk Seri Anwar
Ibrahim atau isterinya Datuk Seri Wan Azizah Ismail.
Azmin berkata, kedua-dua calon presiden itu lebih daripada layak untuk memimpin parti, terutamanya ketika keadaan mencabar.
“Anwar lambang perjuangan parti dan kita masih perlukannya untuk
memimpin,” kata Azmin dalam wawancara dengan beberapa pemberita di
Penanti, Pulau Pinang semalam.
Azmin berkata,
jika Anwar gagal mengetepikan sabitan kes liwat yang membawa hukuman
lima tahun penjara, Azizah juga mampu memimpin parti itu.
Beliau ditanya kenapa tidak mencabar kerusi presiden setelah berkhidmat
pada parti selama 15 tahun sejak era reformasi 1998, selepas pemecatan
Anwar sebagai timbalan perdana menteri yang kemudiannya dipenjara enam
tahun.
Anwar dan Azizah kita sama-sama bersaing untuk kerusi nombor satu dalam PKR itu.
Azmin pula berdepan tiga pencabar untuk kerusi timbalan presiden yang disandangnya.
Azmin pula berdepan tiga pencabar untuk kerusi timbalan presiden yang disandangnya.
Beliau dicabar Menteri Besar Selangor Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim,
Setiausaha Agung Saifuddin Nasution dan pemimpin akar umbi K Rama
Chandram.
Azmin berdepan saingan hebat, terutamanya daripada kumpulan Saifuddin (kanan) yang bergabung tenaga dengan dua pemimpin popular parti Nurul Izzah Anwar dan Rafizi Ramli.
Nurul dan Rafizi bertanding jawatan naib presiden.

I am writing this article purely from the point of a political observer. This is how I look at the contest as a keen observer. This is not a DAP official stand on the leadership issues in PKR. PKR is a member of Pakatan Rakyat and an important ally just like PAS is. The DAP leadership has its views on PKR leadership. Their main interest is to see PKR remain strong to be on the same side to displace BN and UMNO.
I shall write in the most general terms hoping the message here is understood. It is hard to write on or against colleagues. There will be a second follow-up article to state the issues clearer. That will be for the benefit of people who prefer brutal candour as opposed to less robust reasoning.
If I were to have a wish list, the top question is, what kind of leadership do I want for PKR? My answer will be: since PKR is a political party not a corporate entity, or a management-centric organisation, I will want a political leader.
The aim of politics is basically that of organising efforts, material and resources to obtain political objectives of securing and retaining political power. The other overriding objective is to have a leadership with the resolve, dedication and discipline to defeat BN. That to me would require a different kind of leadership than one that is required to run a business corporation for instance.
Business leadership may one day find it more profitable to be in mainstream politics and so can decide it is of strategic importance to be in BN. But political leadership sees no profit in linking up with BN because it is driven by different values, namely to stay the course and remain true to its own political objectives. .
I have a problem, with the continued promotion of business success as a qualifier for public office. Therefore while Khalid's achievement in obtaining cash reserves for Selangor for RM3 billion is laudable, that to me isn't a qualification for him to be a deputy president of PKR. Success in the market is not an automatic disqualifier for public service, but it is a far different undertaking with different purposes and different values. And to suggest that government needs people experienced in business reminds me of the old feminist saying that a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. In fact, business and government -- while there may be skills involved that are translatable and useful as one moves from one sphere to another, are in some ways polar opposite undertakings.
The business of business is business and the goal of business is to earn a profit in the provision of goods and services. The business of government is service -- well managed, one hopes, and not wasteful, but never at a profit.
As to the money, we must remember there is no such thing as government money. Governments have no money; they have only what they take from their citizens, either in taxes or by inflation and what it gives back in terms of wellbeing of the people. And if government accrues profit it can only have done so by taxing too much or eroding the value of the citizens' income and savings -- in either case doing harm, not good, to the people.
Businesses seek maximum efficiency; governments seek sufficient efficiency. Suppose we desire security of the nation. We can save a considerable amount of money by delegating our national security to mercenary armies drawn from other countries as opposed to keeping a high-cost standing army and paying them wages, thus erasing the need to maintain a perpetual and costly military infrastructure. Zahid Hamidi can always ask the human traffickers to bring in the Ghurkhas from Nepal, serve as our army to achieve maximum efficiency. State governments could close Jabatan Kebajikan offices and require that all transactions with government be conducted electronically, with no recourse to potentially sympathetic human beings. These are choices governments make reluctantly but businesses make routinely.
Politics and Business operate on different ethics. Consider the question of earned merit. In business which is very much a merit-based enterprise, one's employment is continued so long as he or she maintains sufficient production. The productive ones continue to receive pay checks; non-productive workers are cut loose. That may seem unfair to the bleeding-hearted, but it is productivity that provides profit and insufficient productivity that drains profit and therefore survivability. Distinguish that ethic from the commitment of government to provide a safety net for those who are, quite often due to no fault of their own, non-productive members of society. How do you deal with them?
In business, the non-productive are sacked or have their employment terminated; in government, the non-productive are not treated that way. That is because the society as a whole, believes single mothers, orphans, the mentally or physically infirm deserve sustenance and protection. Men and women whose careers are in business may also share in the value of compassion, but it flies directly in the face of a belief in maximizing profit and winning bonuses. They may say, it is nothing personal, just business.
So PKR has to decide, what kind of leader do they want? Business or political leader?
To be fair to Khalid, I do not mean by this to suggest that the corporate experience is, or should be, an impediment to elective service. It does mean, however, that candidates for public office should not hold out that expertise in business as a primary qualification for election. Yes, okay, so you've run a company and you've made money; it'll look good in your CV. Three cheers, hip hip hooray.
But it is important to spell out how that experience translates into meaningful preparation for service in government. Granted, it may curb the temptation to be profligate, and that's a definite plus, but government is about helping to ensure that the government's economic policies are not inimical to others making a profit. It is not about slashing spending but about meeting society's obligations with efficiency and accountability. For business, forests exist as a source of lumber; for society, forests exist as a source of pleasure.
Business and government are not opposites, but they are distinct; the mind-set is necessarily different; the understandings are different; the obligations are different. Whether you cheer for Khalid Ibrahim and others like him, to win or lose in this coming party election, we should demand of them a downplaying of the business credential and a focus on how they would meet the actual challenges of governance on the specific terms of public, not private, service.
The most keenly watched contest will be for the deputy president's post. The contest will essentially be between Azmin Ali and Khalid Ibrahim. The withdrawal of Tian Chua is seen as a measure to shore up support for Saifudin Nasution. This plan may not work.
Votes are not transferable as one would like them to be. Those who were rooting in for Tian Chua who have decided not to support Azmin, may not necessarily vote in Saifudin. Although he is the PKR's secretary general who has the opportunity to go all over the country and who has the opportunity to cultivate support, members may want to support Azmin. In the end, I think the presence of Saifudin will not derail much of the Azmin's juggernaut. As to the other contestants for the same post, I don't think they carry much weightage.

Polis mungkin silap saman hadlaju di Rembau

Kepada pengguna jalanraya , dari jalan lama Seremban ke Rembau yang disaman sebelum stesen timbang JPJ di Pedas (Wetworld Pedas) berhampiran laluan KTM kerana melebihi hadlaju 50 km/j kemungkinan saman ini tidak sah.
Ini adalah kerana menurut sumber yang boleh dipercayai papantanda 50 km/j tersebut diletakkan oleh pihak KTM bukannya oleh pihak yang sepatutnya meletakkan papantanda hadlaju, dan hadlaju 50 km/j di kawasan tersebut belum digazetkan.

Apabila ianya belum digazetkan maka saman melebihi 50 km/j dan kurang dari hadlaju jalan persekutuan adalah terbatal sepatutnya.
Ini berlaku mungkin salah faham antara PDRM, KTM dan JKR.
Kita harapkan pihak PDRM dapat memperjelaskan isu saman yang mengelirukan ini.
Kepada mereka yang disaman di kawasan ini harap bersabar sehingga maklumat lanjut diperolehi.
Yang penting pandu cermat, di bawah hadlaju jalan persekutuan serta sentiasa baca doa perjalanan.

Seorang lelaki berumur 50 tahun telah membuat satu laporan polis kerana bacaan ayat tahrim dan laungan azan subuh yang terlalu kuat sehingga mengganggu tidurnya.
Lelaki ini dalam laporannya berkata dia juga telahpun membuat aduan kepada pejabat Agama Islam negeri Johor, Majlis Perbandaran Pasir Gudang dan juga ahli jawatan kuasa (AJK) surau perumahan terbabit.
Dia kata laungan azam ini mengganggu dan dia tak selesa dengan laungan azam subuh yang kuat.
Cerita laporan polis ini telah tersebar dan kisah ini telah di'share'kan oleh facebook, whatsapp dan telegram dan menjadi viral. Banyak komen yang diterima dan paling menarik satu komen daripada bukan Islam.
Eric Kai Yuen : I'm non Muslim, my condo is just opposite masjid, and i stay here for more than 10 years. I didn't found a single problem with it. I believe praying is good for everyone, no matter what religions u are.
Apa nak jadi umat Islam di negara ini entahlah....

Pemimpin PAS, Hindraf dan Malaysia Timur Masing-masing Memberi Pandangan dalam Forum Krisis Perkataan “Allah”
Posted on Saturday, April 12 @ 18:06:18 MYT
Dilulus untuk paparan oleh PenjagaKubur
Forum
“Krisis Perkataan Allah • Hak Berperlembagaan • Kebebasan Beragama”
yang dianjurkan bersama oleh kami dan Lajnah Perpaduan Nasional PAS
Johor sebelum ini dijadualkan pada 13hb April (Ahad), terpaksa ditunda
ke 4hb Mei (Ahad), jam 2 petang, di Auditorium,
Tingkat lima Bangunan JOTIC (Bersebelahan Mahkamah Tinggi JB) kerana
sebab-sebab yang tidak dapat dielakkan.
Kami dengan ikhlas memohon maaf kepada mereka yang berminat untuk hadir ke forum ini dan masyarakat umum yang prihatin terhadap "krisis perkataan Allah" kerana tidak dapat menjemput wakil pertubuhan yang bekait langsung dengan isu ini dan wakil pertubuhan yang berkewibawaan dalambidang berkenaan untuk hadir bersama dalam forum ini. Krisis tersebut dan peristiwa susulannya telah menarik banyak perhatian dari masyarakat bukan Islam yang merupakan hampir separuh dari jumlah populasi negara ini. Isu ini paling membimbangkan semua penganut Kristian di negara kita. Walau bagaimanapun, kami tetap berharap berpeluang untuk menjalin hubungan dan kerjasama dengan pertubuhan-pertubuhan agama dan para pemimpin mereka pada masa depan.
Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS) dengan besar hati setuju menghantar seorang wakil untuk menjadi ahli panel dalam forum ini. (sila rujuk rencana berkaitan yang dipaparkan pada 10hb April di blog Sahabat Rakyat). Setelah perbincangan terperinci, jawatankuasa kerja forum memutuskan untuk menjemput tiga ahli panel seperti berikut. Kami berharap mereka dapat berkongsi pandangan masing-masing daripada perspektif yang lebih luas. Pertimbangan utama kami mengundang ahli panel di bawah adalah seperti berikut:
1. Dr. Shad Saleem Faruqi – Beliau merupakan profesor undang-undang dan berkhidmat sebagai penasihat undang-undang di Universiti Teknologi Mara di Shah Alam, Selangor. Beliau juga pernah berkhidmat di fakulti undang-undang Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia, berkhidmat separuh masa di Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia dan sebagai profesor jemputan di Universiti Sains Malaysia. Dalam satu forum yang diadakan pada bulan lepas, beliau mengemukakan pandangan bahawa larangan ke atas penganut bukan Islam daripada mengguna perkataan Allah adalah tindakan yang melanggar Perlembagaan Persekutuan.
2. P. Waytha Moorthy – Beliau merupakan pengerusi Persatuan Hindraf Malaysia. Sebelum PRU ke-13, beliau selaku pengerusi Persatuan Hindraf telah menandatangani satu memorandum persefahaman (MoU) dengan Najib Razak yang mewakili klik hegemoni UMNO dan menyeru pengundi berbangsa India memberi sokong kepada Barisan Nasional (BN). Selepas PRU ke-13, beliau dilantik sebagai ahli Dewan Negara dan Timbalan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri. Namun, beliau meletak jawatan selepas 9 bulan kerana berasa ditipu dan diperdaya oleh Najib dan klik pemerintah BN.
3. Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan – Beliau merupakan pengerusi Parti STAR di Sabah. Beliau juga merupakan penganut Kristian dan seorang pemimpin kaum Kadazan-Dusun. Ekoran daripada keputusan Mahkamah Rayuan yang memihak kepada kerajaan dan mengumumkan larangan penggunaan perkataan “Allah” oleh penganut bukan Islam, beliau pernah berkata bahawa: “Ini bukan keputusan Mahkamah Rayuan, tetapi polisi UMNO-BN. Malaysia akan dimusnahkan dan berpecah-belah melainkan Perdana Menteri dan BN menjalankan transformasi menyeluruh dan bersikap inklusif dan inginkan pendamaian” dan “Sekiranya kerajaan persekutuan mengizinkan extremis di Semenanjung mengapi-apikan perpecahan, maka tiada alasan untuk terus mengekalkan Sabah dan Sarawak.”
Prof. Dr. Shad Saleem Faruqi semasa menerima undangan kami menyatakan bahawa beliau tidak dapat hadir untuk berucap, tetapi beliau akan mengemukakan satu makalah untuk berkongsi pendapat dengan pertubuhan, parti politik dan individu demokratik. Pengerusi Persatuan Hindraf Waytha Moorthy pula akan hadir dan menyampaikan ucapannya dalam forum ini.
Seperti biasa, kami akan meminta ahli panel menghantar artikel (tiada had perkataan) sebelum forum diadakan, supaya kami boleh menyediakan booklet untuk diedarkan kepada para hadirin forum. Selain itu, kami juga akan menghantar artikel-artikel tersebut kepada media massa dan pertubuhan dan parti politik dalam negara. Kami juga akan memaparkan artikel-artikel ini di laman web pihak penganjur untuk dilayari.
Kami dengan ikhlas menjemput rakyat semua lapisan, semua kaum dan semua agama yang prihatin terhadap keadaan hak asasi dan demokrasi negara kita untuk hadir bersama dalam forum ini. Masuk adalah percuma. Sila hubungi nombor di bawah untuk maklumat lanjut.

Seorang kanak-kanak yang dipaksa berkahwin bertindak membunuh suami
dan tiga rakannya dengan memberi makan makanan yang dicampur dengan
racun tikus. Wasila Umaru, 14, berkahwin minggu lepas dengan Umaru
Sani, 35, menurut penolong penguasa polis, Musa Magaji Majia.
Umaru kemudian menjemput beberapa rakannya untuk meraikan perkahwinan
mereka di Kampung Ungwar Yansoro, berhampiran bandar Kano di utara
Nigeria.
Pengantin perempuan itu mencampurkan racun berkenaan ke dalam nasi yang dihidangkan kepada tetamu.
Umaru mati pada hari kejadian bersama-sama dua rakannya, Mohammed dan
Alhassan Alhassan. Seorang lagi mangsa, Indo Ibrahim mati di hospital
ketika menerima rawatan kecemasan.
Wasila mengaku membeli racun itu di pasar.
“Suspek mengaku melakukan kesalahan jenayah dan berkata dia
melakukannya kerana dipaksa mengahwini lelaki yang tidak dicintainya.
“Wasila memberi kerjasama baik kepada polis dan akan dihukum dengan tuduhan melakukan pembunuhan tanpa niat,” menurut Majia.
Perkahwinan bawah umur adalah perkara biasa di utara Nigeria. Ia kerap
berlaku ketika musim kemarau dan mengahwinkan anak perempuan bermakna
menerima wang hantaran.
Ia juga akan akan mengurangkan beban keluarga untuk menyediakan makanan.
Sebanyak 50 peratus remaja perempuan Nigeria yang tinggal di kawasan
luar bandar berkahwin sebelum berusia 18 tahun, menurut agensi
kanak-kanak Pertubuhan Bangsa Bangsa Bersatu (PBB). - Agensi
