ANWAR BERI KATA DUA KEPADA PEMIMPIN KEADILAN

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim memberi kata dua kepada pemimpin dan anggota PKR sama ada setia atau keluar daripada parti jika tidak mahu mengikut dasar yang ditetapkan.

"Semua anggota parti mestilah menyokong agenda perubahan, bekerja untuk Pakatan Rakyat atau terpaksa disingkirkan daripada parti," katanya.

Anwar yang juga ketua umum PKR menegaskan demikian ketika berucap merasmikan Konvensyen PKR Pulau Pinang malam tadi.

Katanya, ramai pemimpin PKR yang mahu tindakan tegas dikenakan terhadap anggota yang tidak dapat mengikut dasar parti.

"Beri komitmen kepada parti atau tinggalkan parti dan sertai Umno," katanya.

Anwar yang juga ketua pembangkang berkata ketua cabang dan wakil rakyat PKR hendaklah sentiasa mematuhi dasar-dasar parti.

Katanya, mereka tidak boleh beranggapan bahawa mereka akan terus menjadi pemimpin dan wakil rakyat untuk selama-lamanya.

Sebaliknya, kata beliau, mereka mesti berkhidmat kepada rakyat dan mematuhi dasar dan prinsip-pembaharuan parti.

Anwar berkata, walaupun sesetengah kritikan terhadap pemimpin dan wakil rakyat parti ti boleh diterima, tetapi menegaskan bahawa beliau tidak akan berkompromi dengan mereka yang enggan mematuhidasar-dasar yang ditetapkan oleh parti.- Malaysiakini.

Police stand guard while Samling’s excavators plough through Kenyah’s NCR land

Police stand guard while Samling’s excavators plough through Kenyah’s NCR land

BELAGA – A group of police officers are guarding the workers of Samling Plantation Sdn. Bhd. while clearing works are being carried out using excavators inside the native customary land territory of the Kenyahs from Long Koyan for the purpose of establishing an oil palm plantation.

Samling started its clearing works yesterday, but were stopped and told to leave by the Kenyah villagers.

Today however, Samling ignored the villagers and continued to plough through Kenyah’s native customary land under guard from the Royal Malaysian Police.

The villagers are angry with Samling for not heeding their warnings not to encroach into their territory. But they are more disappointed with the actions of the police, who they say time and time again are not professional in their conduct and are visibly seen to be in collusion with the company.

Prior to this, the village head of Long Koyan, TK Nyalang Tahe has made numerous police reports on Samling’s encroachments but no action was taken by the police. He even went to stop an excavator to confiscate its keys so that he could surrender it to the police for the police to take action against the company.

However, on 21 July 2009, the police issued a warrant of arrest to TK Nyalang Tahe and he was summoned by the police to surrender himself to the Sungai Asap Police Station. Apparently, a police report was made by the company against TK Nyalang for allegedly stealing an excavator belonging to Samling.

TK Nyalang and his residents argued with the police that the excavator was not stolen and it is still under the care of the workers of Samling Plantation. The keys are in their possession as it was passed to them by the plantation workers. They said it is even stated in their police report.

The police than told TK Nyalang to sign a police bond and he has to appear at the Belaga Magistrate Court on 21 August 2009 to answer to the charge of stealing.

TK Nyalang abided by the police order appeared at Belaga Magistrate Court on the morning of 21 August 2009. But he was shocked when told by the Court’s registry that the police have not even registered his case to be mentioned on that day.

TK Nyalang went back to the Sungai Asap Police Station to seek clarification from the police, but the police told him that they will inform him when he is supposed to appear in court. However, until today the police have not informed him on the status of the case.

Include Bidayuh, Iban in Federal Constitution- Riot

Serian Member of Parliament Datuk Richard Riot wants Article 161A (6) and 161(7) of the Federal Constitution amended to include 'Bidayuh' and 'Iban'.

"The word 'native' in the Sarawak context under Article 161A (6) means a person who is a citizen and either belongs to one of the races specified in Clause (7) as indigenous to the State or is of mixed blood deriving exclusively from both races.

"Listed under Clause (6) are the indigenous people of Sarawak -Bukitans, Bisayahs, Dusuns, Sea Dayaks, Land Dayaks, Kadayans,Kalabits, Kayans, Kenyags (including Sabups and Sipengs), Kajangs(including Sekapans, Kejamans, Lahanans, Punans, Tanjoings and Kanowits), Lugats, Lisums, Malays, Melanos, Muruts, Penans, Sians,Tagals, Tabuns and Ukits," read Riot.

He questioned the missing 'Bidayuh' and 'Iban' under the same clause.

"Where are we? Where am I as a Bidayuh? Where is Kapit Member of Parliament (Alexander Linggi) as an Iban?" asked Riot in Parliament yesterday.

He therefore wanted the name 'Bidayuh' and 'Iban' to be included in the Article for fear the two races might just "disappear from the surface of the earth".

Riot brought up an example set by (Sarawak) State Legislative Assembly for making the necessary amendment by replacing the terms 'Land Dayak' with Bidayuh and 'Sea Dayak' with Iban.

"The terms 'Land Dayak' and 'Sea Dayak' were used during the colonial era, and the State Government had made the necessary amendment in the Sarawak Constitution," said Riot.
On the same debate, he narrated the case of not only Marina Undau's but also Lymee James', who was born to an Iban-Bidayuh father and a Chinese mother.

He said that Lymee, like Marina, scored 9A 1B in SPM but his application for a matriculation programme was turned down because he was not considered a Bumiputera (native).

"I am not a lawyer, but according to the law of domicility, if the father is a Chinese, the children will be Chinese. If the father is a Malay, the children will be Malay. If the father is Iban, the children will be Iban. If the father is a Bidayuh, the children will be Bidayuh," said Riot.- Eastern Times

Pakatan finally applies to be formal coalition

At last, Pakatan Rakyat (PR) has taken a big step towards formalising its alliance in order to go head on with Barisan Nasional (BN) as a registered coalition at the next general election.

The Malaysian Insider understands that officials from the PR alliance handed in their application to be made a formal coalition to the Registrar of Societies (RoS) some time earlier this week.

According to government sources, some 10 names each from DAP, PAS and PKR were listed in the registration form, together with a list of common objectives, which are expected to be laid out when the alliance holds its first convention next month.

A logo bearing a “rising sun” was also tendered — signalling a “new dawn” for the country — as the fledgling opposition front’s symbol against BN’s dacing, or scale.

The PR bloc believes its application this time will pass muster, based on the new stand taken by the Registrar of Societies Datuk Md Alias Kalil.

Md Alias had publicly stated that the previous reading of Section 2 of the Societies Act 1966, which states any coalition of political parties must have at least seven political parties as members to be registered did not apply.

The loose alliance of PKR, DAP and PAS first came together in the wake of the landmark March 8 general election last year, which saw its members wrest control of four key states from BN in spite of fundamental differences in philosophies.

But it remains to be seen if PKR, PAS and DAP will be able to settle their various spats within their respective parties as well as with each other and present a force capable of challenging BN.

The growing infighting within all three parties — from Sabah PKR leaders quitting in protest against heavy-handed treatment from its peninsula-based central leadership to frequent eruptions between the religious PAS and socialist DAP — has only served to diminish their viability in the eyes of the increasingly weary and wary public.

PR will need to keep in mind that many of the votes cast were also an act of protest against BN for perceived arrogance.

But under Datuk Seri Najib Razak, BN has managed to claw back some support for the ruling coalition.- Malaysian Insider

BARU BIAN: PENGERUSI KEADILAN SARAWAK

TAHNIAH. Baru Bian anak jati Lawas telah dilantik menjadi Pengerusi, Majlis Pimpinan Negeri (MPN), Keadilan Sarawak hari ini.

Presiden Keadilan Dato' Seri Wan Azizah berharap dengan perlantikan itu, Keadilan Sarawak mampu berkembang lebih pesat di bawah kepimpinan Baru.

PKR forms National Integration Council for Sabah and Sarawak

by Asrul Hadi Abdullah Sani

PKR moved today to put behind the rising discontent in East Malaysia when it appointed a new state chief for Sabah and also formed a National Integration Council for Sabah and Sarawak.

Thamrin Zaini was appointed the new Sabah chief, replacing Azmin Ali after leaders from the state had threatened a revolt recently over the latter’s leadership.

But the party hopes that the formation of the new National Integration Council with senior leaders from the state and also from the peninsular will be a more permanent solution to help improve ties with the two East Malaysian states.

Among the leaders appointed to the council are Dr Jeffrey Kitingan as coordinator, and Daniel Tajem from Sarawak, Dr Syed Husin Ali and Dr Toh Kin Woon.

PKR chieftains in both states were in open revolt and were demanding that local leaders be appointed to head the party.

In Sabah, factions aligned to the appointed party vice-president Jeffrey had launched a mutiny against Azmin by submitting a memorandum which, among other matters, claimed that Azmin had under-performed.

But after PKR’s national leadership met today for four hours, party president Datuk Seri Wan Azizah Wan Ismail announced that both vice-president Azmin and Mustafa Kamil Ayub would be replaced as Sabah and Sarawak chiefs.

Azmin has been replaced by local man Thamrin, who is Libaran assemblyman, and Mustafa was replaced by local lawyer Baru Bian.

Wan Azizah denied that Azmin’s removal was due to pressure from PKR Sabah.

“There was not any issue of revolt. We had a meeting and they agreed to give me the mandate to choose ( Sabah’s party chief) and they will support my decision,” she told reporters at PKR headquarters in Tropicana here.

Both Azmin and Mustafa Kamal Ayub have been reappointed as party chiefs of Federal Territory and Perak respectively.

Wan Azizah also anounced that Penang deputy chief minister Dr. Mansor Othman would replace Datuk Zahrain Mohammad Hashim as Penang’s new party chief with Abd Rahman Yusof as Terengganu chief, and PKR election director Saifuddin Nasution as Kelantan chief. PKR Youth chief Syamsul Iskandar would also be replacing Khalid Jafaar as Melaka party chief.

Party de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim denied that Azmin reportedly resigned from his Sabah post earlier this week.

“Azmin Ali and Mustafa Kamil Ayub were given the task ( to lead Sabah and Sarawak) till the end of October,” he told reporters at PKR headquarters in Tropicana here.

In a bid to make headway in both states, which are crucial vote banks for Barisan National (BN), ahead of the next national elections, Anwar took over the leadership of both states in March.

However in May, both Mustaffa and Azmin were handpicked to lead the party in the two states.

The unilateral move by Anwar to appoint Malay leaders from the peninsula, which was supposedly a temporary measure to consolidate the party in East Malaysia, had backfired.

In an effort to help mend the strained relationship between the party’s east and west Malaysian members, the party announced the formation of a National Integration Council for Sabah and Sarawak.

Ramah-Tamah dan Sambutan Perayaan 10 Tahun Keadilan Sarawak

YB DOMINQUE NG: Malaysia Day / September 16th as Public Holiday, is a Victory of the Rakyat.

Hidup Ketuanan Rakyat Sarawak !

Oct. 19th 2009

YB Dominique Ng, the ADUN for Padungan, has welcomed the belated declaration by the Federal Government of September 16th,, being Malaysia Day, as national public holiday. He was commenting on the move by the Prime Minister to finally declare Sept 16 a holiday.

It has always been a sore point with Sabah and Sarawak that the day of federation was not recognised officially as a national holiday prior to this announcement. Successive BN governments have ignored calls to make Malaysia Day a holiday. The move would appear to give Sabah and Sarawak limited initial recognition as partners of the Malaysian Federation. The Sabah and Sarawak votes are clearly important to the political equation.

To shed the floodlights on a previous Blind Spot of official Malaysian history promoted by UMNO and Barisan National, YB Ng with his small band of party faithful have for five successive years on September 16th, hoisted National and State flags at the Central Padang in Kuching. “The Barisan National side poured scorn on us in and out of Dewan Undangan Negeri. Today our party effort is vindicated. Sarawak people are the winners and they rejoice in a fine moment of Peoples’ Victory, and a rare sense of Merdeka!”

YB Ng described the announcement as a signal victory of the Rakyat, and he feels honoured to have stood with the people of Sarawak to stake claim on an essential fact of nationhood. “Today we have claimed back our Malaysia Day finally, and with it a small part of the honour of Sarawak people, but there is much more honour to be restored. Parti KeAdilan Rakyat is now even more determined to support the people of Sarawak to make a total claim on all aspects of our rightful position and honour lost in 47 years of Federation.”

Even on the eve of the Prime Minister’s announcement, YB Ng was championing the 916 date, and reminding the BN Government on 916 as holiday, at a public forum organized by the party’s Batu Kawa ranting (branch). His own legal practice has for years observed 916 as holiday to set the pace. “History and all of it, may neither be distorted nor hidden from public view. The Barisan National Government must be aroused from its deliberate somnolence: woe betide a nation that betrays the facts of history !”

“I stated before that the restoration of true history is in recognition of the role of Sarawak in the formation of Malaysia and is essential to upholding the fundamental rights of Sarawak in the Federation. I would like to reiterate the following points which I call on the BN government to acknowledge without ambivalence:

1. That Malaysia was formed on September 16th 1963 and not August 31st. 1957. There is but one Merdeka Day for 1Malaysia, not two.

2. September 16th should rightly be the National Day of Malaysia. There was no Malaysia before September 16th 1963.

3. Sarawak did not join Malaysia, but formed Malaysia together with Sabah, Singapore and the Federation of Malaya.

4. 2009 marks the 46th anniversary of Malaysian independence, and not 52nd anniversary.

One Nation, One National Day for all, and on 916 it has to be. “

“Proceeding from the restoration of a fundamental truth of Malaysian history, the task of the people of Sarawak,” he exhorts, “is the struggle for justice for the States of Sabah and Sarawak as partners of the Federation. The claiming of Ground September 16th, is but a prelude to the claiming by the people of Sabah and Sarawak for State rights due and for striking out with a new deal of a better Federation of to-morrow.”

“Sarawak people should bemoan their plight in Malaysia no more, but rise in one voice of righteous demand for justice for all. “

“ We should review all the constitutional promises and other safeguards of the 1963 Federation, restore its spirit, and rectify the multitude of errors and failures of continuous rule by Federal and State Barisan National Government.”

“The backward position of Sarawak as a partner of the Federation, in all fields including political, economic, educational, cultural, environmental, health and social welfare, public transport and other infrastructural aspects, must be addressed and rectified by any responsible government in Petra Jaya (Kuching) and Putra Jaya (KL). Justice, equality and equitable sharing is the effective way forward in nation building. ”

He pledges that Parti Keadilan Rakyat will stand by the people of Sarawak to claim the lost ground, and justice for Sabah and Sarawak has all this while been part of the national reform agenda of the party led by Datuk Sri Anwar Ibrahim. “The people of all strata of society too have to stand steadfast in staking their rightful stake in the Federation. It is the Rakyat, and only the Rakyat, who will be able to charge our party effort for a just and enlightened nation-building process.”

Hidup KETUANAN RAKYAT SARAWAK !

CUTI UMUM HARI MALAYSIA

Sambutan 916 2009. Nampak ringkas tapi penuh makna.

16 September 1963 merupakan detik pembentukan Malaysia. Persekutuan Tanah Melayu, Sarawak, Sabah dan Singapura bersetuju membentuk pakatan sebuah negara Malaysia.

Sepatutnya inilah tarikh yang diraikan untuk kemerdekaan Malaysia. 31 Ogos cuma memerdekakan Tanah Melayu (Semenanjung Malaysia)

Lantaran itu, Keadilan Sarawak telah mengambil inisiatif menyambut 916 dengan menaikkan bendera Malaysia di Padang Merdeka sejak 2005.

Kali pertama sekitar 30 orang anggota Keadilan diketuai Sdra Dominique Ng (sekarang YB), berada di Padang Merdeka( juga dikenali Padang Central) menaikkan bendera dan menyanyikan lagu Negaraku.

Ketika itu, pihak keselamatan termasuk FRU bersiap sedia dengan lori merah mengelilingi Padang Merdeka kerana itu perhimpunan haram.

Hari ini, perjuangan mendesak agar 16 September diiktiraf menjadi kenyataan. Tahniah kepada semua yang terlibat.

RAMAH-TAMAH AIDILFITRI KEADILAN SARAWAK

SAMSENG POLITIK: PEKERJA PAS DISERANG

Tiga penyokong PAS cedera dalam satu pergaduhan dengan sekumpulan lelaki, dipercayai penyokong BN, berpunca daripada "perang poster" di Si Rusa, dalam pilihan raya kecil DUN Bagan Pinang, awal pagi ini.

Seorang petugas PAS Ammeran Mad berkata beliau melihat kira-kira 50 orang penyokong BN, termasuk yang bersenjatakan parang, menyerang pekerja-pekerja parti PAS dalam kejadian pada kira-kira jam 1-2 pagi itu.

Selain bilik gerakan PAS di Si Rusa, tiga lagi bilik gerakan parti berkenaan diserang oleh kumpulan yang didakwa sebagai anggota Pemuda Umno, Ammeran memberitahu Malaysiakini ketika ditemui di hospital Port Dickson tengah hari ini.

Beliau, yang berada di tempat kejadian di markas induk Pemuda PAS, ke hospital untuk menziarahi ketiga-tiga mangsa yang berusia antara 20 hingga 30 tahun tetapi dimaklumkan mereka hanya menerima rawatan sebagai pesakit luar jam 6.45 pagi ini.

Ammeran, seorang penduduk tempatan, berkata kumpulan yang terdiri daripada individu tidak dikenali itu pada mulanya mendakwa pekerja parti PAS berkenaan telah menurunkan bendera BN di kawasan berkenaan.

Ketiga-tiga mangsa, antara mereka yang bersemuka dengan kumpulan berkenaan, bagaimanapun menafikan berbuat demikian.

Kumpulan berkenaan kemudian bertindak liar dan mula memukul penyokong PAS serta memecahkan cemin kenderaan di bilik gerakan tersebut.

Ammeran juga berkata, tiga lagi bilik gerakan peti undi dalam kawasan berkenaan turut diserang oleh kumpulan sama dalam kejadian antara jam 2 hinggga 5 pagi ini.

Ketiga-tiga penyokong PAS yang cedera itu dikenali sebagai Muhd Zulhairi Zainuddin, 20, Shamsul Bakri, 30 dan Muhd Nazaruddin Md Isa, 23.

Muhd Zulhairi dan Shamsul Bakri berasal dari Johor, manakala Muhd Nazaruddin dari Kedah.

Akhbar rasmi parti itu Harakahdaily.net melaporkan, selain ditumbuk, kesemua mangsa juga dihalau keluar meninggalkan markas itu.

Ramai lagi petugas PAS dipukul, lapor akhbar web itu lagi, malah ada juga yang dikejar dengan parang hingga ke rumah.

Foto-foto yang diterbitkan akhbar itu menunjukkan seorang petugas, yang tidak dinamakan, berdarah di kepala dan baju merahnya koyak di bahagian belakang, dilaporkan akibat ditetak dalam serangan tersebut.

Pemuda PAS berhasrat membuat aduan polis jam 6 petang ini di balai polis Port Dickson.

"Sekarang ini kita sedang mengumpul semua maklumat berkaitan. Kita diberitahu banyak kes serupa berlaku di tempat lain juga.

"Kita kumpul semua dan buat satu laporan petang ini," ketua dewan itu Nasaruddin Hassan dipetik berkata.

KERAJAAN BAYAR GANTIRUGI RM50 RIBU KEPADA MUSTAFA ALI

KUALA LUMPUR, 7 Sept: Polis dan kerajaan Malaysia mengaku bersalah kerana menahan Setiausaha Agung PAS, Datuk Mustafa Ali (ketika itu Pengarah Pilihanraya PAS) di bangunan Parlimen hampir dua tahun lalu.

Ekoran itu, mereka bersetuju membayar gantirugi kepada beliau sebanyak RM50,000 hari ini.

Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur hari ini merekodkan persetujuan kerajaan itu kerana menahan beliau di bangunan Parlimen pada 11 Disember 2007.

Hakim P.S. Nathan merekodkan persetujuan itu ekoran saman yang dikemukakan oleh Mustafa kepada Ketua Polis Daerah Dang Wangi, Ketua Polis Negara dan Kerajaan Malaysia.

Mustafa yang datang ke Dewan Rakyat untuk mendengar perbahasan untuk menolak cadangan melanjutkan tempoh jawatan Pengerusi SPR, Tan Sri Rashid Abdul Rahman.

Beliau telah ditahan dan dibawa ke Balai Polis. Di sana beliau telah ditahan selama tiga jam setengah mulai jam 1 hingga 4.30 petang.

Sebab itu cadangan Koh Tsu Koon supaya polis merakam perhimpunan atau perarakan dan dengan bukti itu, barulah membuat siasatan atau penahanan. Dalam kes ini, nasib baik cuma RM50 000, duit rakyat terpaksa digunakan untuk membayar kesilapan pihak berkuasa.

MENGATA ORANG SENDIRI PUN LEBIH

Siapakah juak-juak yang bertindak kurang ajar, provokasi yang berlebihan, mengeluarkan kata-kata kesat, tidak bertamadun semasa dialog bersama MB Selangor berkaitan cadangan pemindahan kuil di Shah Alam.

Nilai Melayu dan adat timur diketepikan. Sikap cool dan terbuka MB, mereka ambil kesempatan pulak.

Nilailah sendiri kebiadapan mereka ini.

Tontonlah video ini, mengesahkan segalanya....

PENAN NASIBMU DI HUJUNG TANDUK

Berbekalkan lembing dan sumpit yang disaluti semangat mempertahankan hak, sekumpulan masyarakat Penan di Long Deloh, Baram membuat sekatan manusia terhadap kerakusan syarikat pembalakan dan syarikat perladangan kelapa sawit yang telah meneroka tanah adat mereka.

Sejak turun temurun hutan sekitar telah menjadi punca makanan masyarakat Penan. Kini dengan izin kerajaan BN Sarawak, syarikat tersebut dengan rakus menebang dan membersihkan kawasan yang kaya hasil hutan itu.

Orang Penan bukan menolak pembangunan, tetapi biarlah kebajikan dan cara hidup mereka dipelihara. Orang Penan bukan tidak ingin maju, tetapi biarlah suara hati mereka turut diambilkira dalam penerokaan hutan tersebut.

PRK BAGAN PINANG: PR-BN BERENTAP LAGI

Kekosongan DUN N31, Bagan Pinang , Parlimen Teluk Kemang, Negeri Sembilan membuka ruang ke sembilan buat PR dan BN beradu sokongan pengundi dalam pilihanraya kecil. Ini berikutan Azman Mohd Noor, ADUN UMNO/BN meninggal dunia akibat serangan penyakit jantung.

Setakat ini PR mendahului 7-1. PR menang di Permatang Pauh, Kuala Terengganu, Bukit Selambau, Bukit Gantang,Penanti, Manek Urai dan Permatang Pasir. BN pula sekadar menang di Batang Ai, Sarawak.

Parlimen Teluk Kemang yang diwakili Dato Kamarul Baharin (Keadilan) mempunyai 5 DUN termasuk Chuah dan Port Dickson (dimenangi Keadilan), Lukut (DAP) dan Linggi (BN).

Dengan 3 daripada 5 DUN dikuasai PR, peluang merampas Bagan Pinang cerah jika diambilkira siri kemenangan PR dalam pilihanraya kecil yang lalu.

Azman menang DUN Bagan Pinang (6430 undi) dengan majoriti 2333 undi (berbanding 4411 undi pada 2004) dalam PRU12 lalu mengalahkan calon PAS Ramli Ismail yang memperolehi 4097 undi.

Menang di Bagan Pinang, merapatkan jurang perbezaan kerusi DUN di antara PR dan BN. kepada cuma 4 kerusi. BN setakat ini menguasai 21 daripada 36 kerusi, manakala PR 15 kerusi.
