泊車起爭執 妻護夫挨揍
警察打斷我7牙

(新山30日訊)自稱警員的巫裔男子,因為泊車問題而與華裔夫婦起爭執,更一拳打斷婦女7顆牙齒!

一家五口到金馬崙高原度假,回程在休息站因泊車問題與兩名巫裔男子發生口角,后引發肢體衝突。為夫者聲稱遭對方圍毆,妻子也因為高聲呼救,慘遭痛打。

過程中,夫妻倆都被打至牙齒鬆脫,丈夫兩顆門牙掉落,妻子則被打斷7顆牙齒。

事主相信,兩名行兇者屬父子關係,較年輕男子一度出示警員證件,並阻止事主報案;警局稍后也證實,涉案男子是在關丹服務的警員。

此事于本月26日晚上8時許,在南北大道霹靂州打巴休息站發生。

事主陳坤和(35歲,新國任技術人員,住甘拔士)和妻子林春菊(34歲,牛奶公司營業代表),今早透過人民黨代主席宋新輝,召開記者會要求討回公道。

滿嘴鮮血

陳坤和聲稱,一家人日前趁假期到金馬崙高原遊玩,回程因孩子要上廁所,便在打巴休息站稍作停留,適逢假期車位難尋,只好繞到后方巴士停泊處。

他指出,由于會開車的妻子坐在車內等候,他便將車橫停在3輛轎車后,待上完廁所折返時,即看見兩名巫裔男子怒罵妻子,他即趨前制止。

“對方指我們阻擋其去路,但妻子當時已準備退車,他們還是不罷休;當中較年輕男子不斷靠近我的車,我便輕輕推開對方,要求停止爭執。這時,中年男子突然一拳朝我臉部揮來,年輕男子則一起動手,左右夾攻。”

林春菊見狀,即刻上前制止對方,反遭對方緊捉手臂,腹部也挨了對方一拳,只好高聲呼救。

“年輕男子一度上前要我安靜,我不予理會,突覺臉部被重重打了一拳,跌倒在地,嘴巴滿是鮮血,其中一顆大牙連根脫落,其他6顆牙齒被打斷。”

Malaysia wins AFF-Suzuki Cup on 4-2 aggregate; PM declares Friday a public holiday

By ERIC SAMUEL

JAKARTA: Malaysia has won the AFF-Suzuki Cup on a 4-2 aggregate. Indonesia won the second leg of the final 2-1 in Jakarta on Wednesday night while Malaysia had won the first leg 3-0 in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday.

The scorers for Indonesia were Mohammad Ridwan (87th minute) and Mohammad Nasuha (71st). Safee Sali had scored in the 53rd minute to put Malaysia 1-0 in the lead.

It was a significant success for Malaysia as the last time the senior national team became champions in a regional competition was at the 1989 SEA Games in Kuala Lumpur.

It was also the first time in the AFF Championships since 1996 that Malaysia has become champions.

To make it a grand night for Malaysia, Safee won the Golden Boot award with five goals to his name. The striker was on target twice in the first leg.

Later Wednesday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak declared Friday, Dec 31, a public holiday in recognition of our team's AFF-Suzuki Cup triumph.

Malaysia started with the same line-up that was fielded in the first leg, except for midfielder Mohd Amirulhadi Zainal and right-back Mahali Jasuli, who were suspended. The duo were replaced by Mohd Ashaari Shamsuddin and Mohd Sabree Abu respectively.

The Indonesians were without their inspirational flanker Okto Maniani, who was also out on suspension while striker Yongky Ari Bowo was out with an injury. Their replacements were Arif Suyono and Irfan Bachdim respectively.

As expected, Indonesia came charging from the starting whistle but the Malaysian defence led by Mohd Muslim Ahmad and Mohd Fadhli Shas did well to keep a tight leash on Indonesian dangermen Christian Gonzales and Irfan Bachdim.

But a lapse of concentration inside the box resulted in Indonesia winning a penalty in the 15th minute, when Mohd Sabree handled the ball.

However, much to the disappointment of the Indonesian fans, skipper Firman Utina’s tame kick was saved by Malaysian goalkeeper Khairul Fahmi Che Mat.

The Indonesians, who were desperate for an early goal, kept on pressing for the opening goal but Khairul Fahmi proved to be a stumbling block, denying at least five attempts at goal before the half-time break.

Malaysia took the lead against the run of play in the 53rd minute, when Ashaari sent a long through ball for Safee to chase, and the Selangor hitman scored a clinical goal.

Despite being a goal down, Indonesia never gave up and their persistence paid off as defender Mohammad Nasuha pounced on a loose ball from goalkeeper Khairul’s save to hit the roof of the net in the 71st minute.

Then with the clock ticking away, Muhammad Ridwan scored from a goal-mouth melee in the 87th minute but this was not enough to deny Malaysia the AFF-Suzuki Cup.

Mohd Khalid Atan is the new MTUC chief, defeats pro-PKR incumbent
By SIRA HABIBU and FLORENCE A. SAMY

PETALING JAYA: PKR’s top unionists Syed Shahir Mohamud and Abdullah Sani Abdul Hamid were defeated in the triennial Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC).

Syed Shahir, who had served two terms as MTUC president, lost to his deputy Mohd Khalid Atan by 42 votes.

Mohd Khalid of the Timber Employees Union secured 255 votes, while Syed Shahir who is also the Kelana Jaya PKR chief garnered 213 votes.

Abdullah Sani, who is also the Kuala Langat MP, failed in his bid to secure the secretary-general’s post vacated by veteran unionist G. Rajasegaran.

National Union of Petroleum and Chemical Industries’ Abdul Halim Mansor won the MTUC secretary-general post in a three-cornered fight with Abdullah Sani and National Union of Bank Employees secretary-general J. Solomon.

Abdul Halim, an Alor Gajah Umno member, garnered 187 votes, followed by Abdullah Sani (165 votes) and Solomon (115).

National Union of Telecommunication Employees president Mohd Jafar Abd Majid was elected the new deputy president.

Mohamed Jafar was also engaged in a three-cornered fight with Electrical Industry Workers’ Union secretary P. Maniyam and Railwaymen’s Union of Malaya president Abdul Razak Md Hassan.

Mohamed Jafar secured 175 votes, followed by Maniyam (157) and Razak (140).

Maniyam was in the Syed Shahir-Abdullah Sani team.

Newly elected MTUC finance secretary Awang Ibrahim said it was not a total loss for unionists from the opposition party.

“However, I have a feeling that the current turmoil in PKR may have adversely affected our team members’ chances,’’ said Awang, who is Shah Alam PKR secretary.

He said another PKR member Khir Mansor was elected the vice-president (private sector), while staunch PKR supporter Mohd Rosli Makid was also elected as one of the five private sector vice-presidents.

Abdullah Sani said he accepted the results with an open heart.

“It is the delegates’ choice,’’ he said.

Mohd Khalid had stressed during campaigning that union leaders should not be under the influence of any political party.

Syed Shahir had insisted that political affiliation should not deter union leaders from fighting for the workers’ rights.

国民投资机构宣布 ASN派红利6仙

国民投资机构宣布 ASN派红利6仙
2010/12/29 9:57:03 AM
●南洋商报
国民信托基金(ASN)每单位将分红6仙,将惠及118万名单位持有者。左起阿末沙基与哈末卡玛。

(吉隆坡28日讯)国民投资机构(PNB,简称国投)宣布,独资子公司——国民信托基金有限公司(ASNB)的国民信托基金(ASN),截至今年12月31日财年每单位派发6仙红利。

比去年增0.8仙

国投主席敦阿末沙基,今日在国投的记者会上宣布这个消息。他指出,截至昨天(27日),该项基金每单位净资产值每为89.45仙,6仙红利相等于6.7%回酬。派息总额达8988万令吉,去年同期为8152万令吉。

今年派发的6仙红利,比去年每单位的5.2仙,增长15.38%;若以2009年时最高77.15仙每单位净资产值相比,如今逾89.45仙的净资产值,使2010财年基金总回酬至少在15.94%水平。

总收入1.1亿

另外,国投总裁兼总执行长丹斯里哈末卡玛说:“若没扣除供明年投资的储备,每单位可派红利达9仙,但派息6仙后,剩余的3仙将供明年再投资。”

截至今年12月31日财年,国民信托基金录得总收入1亿1202万令吉。其中售股贡献56.3%收入或6307万令吉,股息收入则是34.98%或3918万令吉,其他收入占8.72%或977万令吉。

计有118万名投资者,持有这项基金共15亿个单位,红利将自动汇入投资者户头,并直接再投资。

哈末卡玛透露,国投旗下所有投资产品的基金规模达1180亿令吉,并将伺机推出新的投资产品。

鼓励国人投资基金

国投总裁兼总执行长哈末卡玛表示,2010财年国民信托基金的优异表现,归功于今年国内经济及令人鼓舞的股市表现。

从净资产增值获益

富时隆综合指数自2009年12月31日的1272.78点,上涨至今年12月24日止的1511.58点,录得18.8%的涨幅。

他说:“国民信托基金的红利派发再加上净资产增值,总回酬与马股走势相符。而稍早派发的7.5仙土著信托基金(ASB)红利,整体来说都比去年来的令人满意。因此,我们鼓励人们投资在价格具有波动性的基金,除了可以享有红利,也能从净资产增值获益。”

哈末卡玛补充:“有专家预测明年的大马股市将上看1600点。若真如此,将有助国民投资机构旗下基金的获利增长。”

投资额逾168亿

此外,哈末卡玛也说:“今年来,我们已接获超过168亿令吉的投资额。此外,一个马来西亚基金(AS 1MALAYSIA)迄今已售出44亿5000万个单位,其中供华裔认购的份额已被认购完毕。目前,只剩下土著和印裔的认购份额。”

至于该机构是否会涉足海外投资,他表示,目前国民信托基金有限公司旗下所有的投资产品,都只注重在国内。

信托基金累积资产49亿

财政部副部长拿督林祥才日前也指出,国家信托基金(Kumpulan Wang Amanah Negara )在2009年财务表现卓越,累积资产高达49亿令吉,比2008年的44亿令吉提高10.5%或4亿6730万令吉。

他说,该基金在2009年的净收入增加4474万令吉,从2008年的1亿9929万令吉提升至2亿4403万令吉。

“如果重新估算,以1亿2330万令吉的外币兑换估计,净盈利就高达3亿6730万令吉。

“这意味着2009年的平均投资资产回酬达7.9%。”

采严密风险管理

他说,该基金在2009年的累积资产中,有34亿令吉或68.4%投资于海外市场。

其余15亿令吉或31.6%则投资在本地市场。

他说,在本地市场的投资项目包括股票投资4亿4000万令吉(8.98%)、国内证券7亿7460万令吉(15.81%)、本地存款2亿1025万令吉(4.3%)、本地基金管理1亿454万令吉(2.13%)和产业及储存在银行的数额为1694万令吉(0.35%)。

他指出,为提升营运效率,该基金已采取严密的风险管理

国民信托基金(ASN)每单位将分红6仙,将惠及118万名单位持有者。

鄭丁賢‧同學成績單

鄭丁賢‧同學成績單
2010-12-29 10:05

年終,各級學校考試陸續放榜,各公司的員工評估也都出爐。

成績好的,升學升職,前程錦繡;成績差的,退學或吃自己,看著辦!

政治人物也有成績單,接受人民評估。

默迪卡調查中心不久前公佈報告,首相納吉的支持度是69%。

如果化為分數,人民對納吉的評估是69分;比之前最高的72分微跌;不過,比他入學時瀕臨及格邊緣,算是有進步。

如果政府是一個班級,納吉是班長,班上其他同學表現又如何?

調查中心沒有為他們一一打分,我只好依個人判斷,略作補充,以供參考。

最傑出同學:納茲里納茲里同學形象獨特,敢怒敢言,有時讓人激賞,有時讓人無法恭維;成績大起大落;不是奇高,就是偏低。

但是,他今年表現一路領先,令人刮目相看。

他自認是馬來西亞人為先,而後才是馬來人,一掃班上同學自我定位之困惑;對建立國民認同感,有一定的釐清作用。

他怒斥土著權威組織和《馬來西亞前鋒報》的狹隘族群作風,也批評宗教激進份子的唯我獨尊心態;他在班上注入一股清新風氣,讓大家意識到族群團結,宗教和諧,普世價值是本班的努力目標。

作為首相署部長,他也成功推動幾項進步的法案,包括反貪和司法改革。

最努力同學:依德利斯這位插班生,是班上的學術股長。他今年提出了多項字母計劃,洋洋灑灑,讓人應接不暇。

這些字母報告,內容算是充實,頗有創意;在理論上,可以把普通班的程度,推高到精英班水平。

是否能夠落實貫徹,還得看其他同學的努力。

然而,依德利斯同學求好心切,無形中引起部份同學埋怨,加上沒有“埋堆”,在班上形單影隻。他說班級財政赤字嚴重,如果不改善恐會破產,一度引起同學反彈,群起攻之。

最爭議同學:阿末扎希

他說非馬來人不從軍,原因是不夠愛國,引起譁然,也衝擊本班的一個馬來西亞口號。

最頭痛同學:江作漢

交通意外事件不斷發生,人們不禁要質問負責交通事務的這位同學。

至於其他同學,一般而言,表現平庸者佔了多數。

他們普遍習慣了刻板教育,思維僵化,消極被動。

上課時不專注,開班會不發言,有者更如同隱形人,不知他們一年來做了甚麼。

這些同學,拉低了班上平均分數。可以的話,應該將他們留級或退學,另行引入有潛質的新生。

“PEMANDU忽略土著議程”‧土權:政府應設新組織

“PEMANDU忽略土著議程”‧土權:政府應設新組織

* 國內

2010-12-29 09:17

(吉隆坡28日訊)馬來土著權威組織今日指責首相署屬下的表現管理和傳遞單位(PEMANDU)忽略土著及馬來人議程;因此,土權吁請政府成立一個跟該單位同等地位,但專注土著議程的新組織。

土權經濟局主任朱比爾說,新組織可專注於提高馬來人經濟地位,並且以“土著經濟規劃、落實與監督單位”為名。


“該組織首席執行員的地位應等同部長級數,否則他們只需要直接跟首相匯報。”

朱比爾也是土權組織副主席。他在新聞發佈會上說,領導該組織者必須非常瞭解馬來人權益。“我們不要那些自由主義的馬來人,最後是不落實馬來人議程。”

他說,有關組織跟表現管理和傳遞單位享有同樣待遇,惟扮演的角色與功能不會重疊。

他也指出,大部份研究土著經濟的實驗室都無效及沒有對策。

職總主席:與政黨談判 大選前落實最低薪制

職總主席:與政黨談判
大選前落實最低薪制
(吉隆坡28日訊)大馬職工總會(MTUC)主席賽沙希爾有信心,政府會在明年或來屆全國大選前,落實最低薪金制度。

他說,職工總會將在來屆全國大選前與政黨談判,包括支持該總會訴求及落實改進雇員福利的政黨。

他指出,目前是與政黨談判的最適合時機,尤其是該總會共有50萬會員,雖然來自不同政治背景,在雇員福利議題上的立場卻一致。

“在其它國家,職工會在全國大選前會與不同政黨會面,任何支持職工會訴求及承諾落實訴求的政黨,也獲得會員支持,這一點是新屆領導層必須關注的事項。”

除了每月最低薪資,該總會也要求設立裁員基金、為婦女會員爭取90天產假及拒絕提前退休年齡等訴求。

“據悉,歐洲國家如希臘經濟未有復甦跡象,恐怕會影響我國,一旦雇主生意欠佳,一定會以減薪或裁員方式來犧牲雇員權益。”

賽沙希爾在記者會強調,900令吉薪金和300令吉的生活津貼,對一名員工而言是合理,該會也通過網絡媒體和替代媒體,獲得各界良好回應。

他說,政府最近也公佈了最低薪金草案,以便致力在國內工業界落實最低薪金制度,他信心,政府在近期內落實這項制度。

聆聽訴求

他也建議成立終止就業基金,為失業人士提供訓練,以取消合約及外包工作,減少對外勞依賴,致力提高員工技能,達到高收入目標。

沙希爾早前在大馬職工總會代表大會上致詞時,這么說。

他指出,在這3年內,也有數個職工會加入大馬職工總會,並協助電子領域的僱員成立國家電子職工會,並成功獲得政府批准。

他披露,該會也反對政府調漲油價,因為這將導致其他物價隨之上漲,而政府無法控制物價上漲。

2011年展望轉型躍進 獲利.大選.寬鬆政策 3E勢力 明年推升馬股勢頭

2011年展望轉型躍進
獲利.大選.寬鬆政策
3E勢力 明年推升馬股勢頭

報導:邱佩勛

(吉隆坡28日訊)2010年剩下最后三天,券商看好馬股市在“3E”,即企業獲利(Earnings)、大選(Election)和海外寬鬆政策(Easing)的支撐下,明年繼續綻光芒!

僑豐投資研究指出,在3大“E”勢力尤其外來游資的籠罩下,銀行與博彩領域將是最大受惠方!

該行看好,明年企業獲利將保持成長動力,預計旗下有研究的富馬隆綜指成分股淨利,有望成長16%。

其次,明年或提早舉行全國大選的傳言言之鑿鑿,該行相信,來自基建發展計劃的消息將持續,使市場繼續期待新合約的頒發。

日本承諾注資600億美元(1860億令吉)救經濟,以及美國6000億美元(1兆8600億令吉)的第二輪量化寬鬆政策(QE2)等寬鬆政策,造成全球游資四溢,是第三個利好股市的“E”。

基于發達國家的利率繼續持低,該行相信,這筆游資將繼續主導全球股市走高。

高流動股票成目標

“我們看好那些本質擁有高流動性的本地股票,將成為部分游資的目標。”

興業證券研究也指出,全球經濟復甦料比預期來得更持續,進而反映在企業持續的獲利成長上,因此馬股明年仍有走高空間。

該行預測,明年企業獲利將成長16.3%,繼續為股東創造新價值。

另一方面,僑豐投資研究認為,來自海外游資潮的外資,將瞄準那些具有高交投量且市值龐大的股項,以確保在游資乾涸時得以套現。

“為此,這股熱錢的受惠者將是銀行和博彩股項。”

馬股引擎1:企業獲利(Earnings)

銀行消費房產盈利看高

僑豐投資研究看好具獲利素質的領域有:

◆銀行

我國明年經濟料成長5.8%,銀行領域有此后盾,預計將持續錄得9%的貸款成長。

同時,股市看漲以及各項經濟轉型執行方案工程的融資需求,將帶動銀行的非利息收入成長。

預期明年下半年升息,也將看到淨利息賺幅揚升。

部分銀行或提高派息比重,作為資本管理的努力之一。

綜合這些因素,看好銀行明年將繼續錄得強勁獲利。

◆消費(包括保健與航空)

政府宣佈的基建發展計劃繼續刺激明年經濟穩健成長,預計明年首半年的消費者意願將高漲。

隨意開銷料增加,這對消費零售、保健和航空股項而言是好事。

許多消費食品類別的公司正擴大產能或擴展區域市場,明年首半年獲利成長可期。

◆房地產

早前房地產計劃推介因為2008/2009年的衰退而展延,基于未進賬銷量逐漸減少,明年房產業獲利成長料黯淡無光。

但不能否認,今年房產實際價格已明顯攀升,這也造就近期推介的高檔房產計劃。

相信此類房產將延續至明年首半年,獲利素質料將強勁,但將有少數下行風險,尤其專注高檔房產的發展商。

馬股引擎2:大選風(Election)

油氣業也來分一杯羹

“大選要到了”的消息,將是這波投資主題的關鍵,迄今已看到當局發出不少合約,除了向來與大選息息相關的建築與房地產領域,這次石油與天然氣也將分一杯羹。

◆建築

無疑,明年將宣佈更多建築工程;目前仍等待吉隆坡地鐵、輕快鐵合約的宣佈。

其他可能宣佈的包括彭亨雪蘭莪跨州生水輸送計劃、1000兆瓦發電廠計劃、100層樓的獨立文物大廈(Warisan Merdeka)等合約。

◆房產

新街場舊飛機場、雙溪毛糯地段、吉隆坡國際金融中心和甘榜峇汝皆具發展潛能,政聯房地產業者或在未來2至3年,接手並參與這些計劃的發展。

相信此類利好將促使投資者專注在特定房產股。近期房產業者的併購也與這項投資主題一致。

◆油氣

油氣業在大馬經濟扮演越來越高的多重角色,預計新岸外合約的頒發將捎來一些“財富效應”並流入經濟體系。

基于大部分上市的油氣業者為服務供應商,相信明年上半年將是令人興奮的時刻。

馬股引擎3:熱錢(Easing)

游資流入盯上大資本股

全球市場充斥的游資將流入大馬,大型資本股將是這些資金目標。

富馬隆綜指成分股大部分來自銀行、種植、電訊及博彩領域,僑豐投資研究對銀行及博彩領域給予“增持”建議,種植及電訊業則獲“中立”建議。

◆銀行

富馬隆綜指超過35%的市值來自銀行股,銀行股料將吸納大部分外資,尤其那些大型、交易更具流動性的股項如聯昌集團(CIMB,1023,主要板金融)和馬銀行(MAYBANK,1155,主要板金融)。

◆博彩

博彩股佔富馬隆綜指逾9%的市值,主要由重量級股項兼外資“達令”股雲頂(GENTING,3182,主要板貿易)所主導。游資流入將有利此領域。

富馬隆綜指
合理水平1648點

繼富馬隆綜指今年最高攀升250點或超過19%后,僑豐投資研究看好指數明年再寫新高,達1648點的合理水平。

該行該,距離上述合理水平約有10%揚升空間,並維持馬股“增持”評級。

富馬隆綜指在11月9日以1526.53點改寫新高。

興業證券研究早前指出,外資增持新興市場股票,加上大選年兩大利好,指數明年底有望攀至1700點。

僑豐投資研究指出,富馬隆綜指繼2008及2009年走跌后,成分股今年淨利成長強力反彈,估計今年將成長26%。

該行也指出,企業第四季財報在明年2月出爐時,有可能出現財測上修潮。

該行維持第三季業績下修多于上修的預測,但相信在企業獲利改善的帶動下,將有更多企業在發佈第四季或首季財報后,獲券商上修財測。

第四季或首季財報季節分別落在明年2月及5月。

閉市時,富馬隆綜指報1517.44點,起5.72點,交投8億2288萬900股。

玛目阿当:下月宣布总解决方案 6P计划遣返过剩外劳

玛目阿当:下月宣布总解决方案 6P计划遣返过剩外劳
2010/12/27 5:58:18 PM
●南洋商报 官泰发独家报道

(布城27日讯)内政部秘书长拿督斯里玛目阿当说,政府将执行“6P”计划,全面解决及管制国内合法及非法外劳充斥的问题后,并将把过剩外劳送回原国。

‘6P计划’,即注册(Pendaftaran)、宽恕(Pengampunan)、合法化(Pemutihan)、监督(Pemantauan)、执法(Penguatkuasaan)及 驱逐(Pengusiran)。

他说,由副首相丹斯里慕尤丁为首的外劳和非法移民内阁委员会,将于下个月25日召开会议,届时委员会将宣布这项“总解决方案”,采用目前处于试验阶段的“生物识别系统”及后续的外劳人头税的调整方案。

借助生物识别系统

玛目阿当说,一旦生物识别系统正式落实,国内的外劳将必须向当局注册,届时政府即可判断国内的外劳是否过剩或短缺。

玛目阿当接受《南洋商报》专访时,针对政府如何克服国内非法外劳充斥及杜绝人口贩运活动时,这么回应。在场者包括该部国际组秘书卡尔拉兹曼。

他说,政府在完成系统装置及登记的工作后,将监督外劳的情况,并将根据需要,将过剩的外劳送回当地国。政府将观察国内五个领域的情况,包括种植、制造、服务业及保安等领域。

合法外劳共200万

询及政府是否会调整外劳人头税,他说,届时将视各领域既有和真正所需的外劳人数而定。

“我们目前合法的外劳共有200多万名,我们不知道非法外劳的数目......所以这显示政府了解人民的心声,我们会克服这种(非法外劳充斥)情况。”

玛目阿当强调,现有的数据显示,全球每天近亿的人口,从一个国家流动至另一个国家。

“非法移民对大马而言,已是一个历史问题,现在则是政府采取行动的时候。”

108人被提控

问:自2007年反人口贩运及人口走私法令生效后,至今当局共提控了多少罪犯?

答:截至今年11月15日,我们共将293宗案件带上法庭,尚在审讯的案件有225宗,审讯完毕的是38宗。其中,无罪释放8宗,遭到处罚的为21宗,108人被提控。至今罪犯遭受到最严重的刑罚为入狱8年。

问:你认为当局在2007年反人口贩运及人口走私法令中,加重了刑罚后,是否有效遏止人口贩运的活动?

答:答案是肯定的。这显示我们非常认真打击这类犯罪活动。

鼓励人民举报

问:在打击人口贩运活动方面,人民可扮演什么角色?

答:民众发现类似的犯罪活动,欢迎拨打999热线,或是透过电邮,向当局投报。这是“一个马来西亚”对抗人口贩运的活动,所以我促请民众秉持“一个马来西亚”的精神,与政府携手打击人口贩运活动。

问:人口贩运及人口走私活动,或许属于“市场导向”的犯罪,因此若没类似的需求,相关活动即无法继续存在,请问你对国内雇主的忠告是什么?

答:一旦有雇主非法聘用这些透过非法方式进入我国的人士,我们将可以援引2007年反人口贩运及人口走私法令提控他们,这是因为即使他们是自愿接受聘请,间中还是存在剥削成分。

印尼女佣课题无进展

问:印尼女佣课题似乎延宕已久,不知目前的进展如何?

答:印尼政府还是停在原地。马印两国至今已举行了四次会谈,而印尼在我国发生了数宗虐佣事件后,就停止谈判。至于造成马印双方谈判陷入僵局的原因,包括我国雇主聘请女佣的成本问题,我国还没接获印尼提供这方面细目。

收费过高不利女佣

其实,若印尼女佣代理收费过高,真正受害的将是女佣本身,因为雇主将要求女佣工作更多个月后(例如10个月),才开始支付女佣薪资。

这课题其实与人口贩运同样有关系,因为间中发生了剥削的成分,一旦发生这样的情况,国际组织将认为我国在剥削女佣。

我们不要外人如此看待我们,所以我们希望你们(民众)明白......我们必须仔细研究及谨慎处理这课题。

问:马印双方将在何时举行新一轮会谈?

答:我们原定明年初进入最后谈判阶段。

希山諾丁:嚴督各黨政治獻金

獨家報導:邱玉珊

(吉隆坡26日訊)國家關鍵成效領域(NKRA)反貪實驗室主任拿督希山諾丁披露,政府打擊金錢政治的決心不會退縮,因此在政治資金法制改革中首推改革方案,即從明年1月起監督各政黨的政治捐款(或稱政治獻金)。

他說,防止政黨行賄方案之一,必須從政黨的政治捐款中嚴密監督,為此政黨無法隱瞞其財務來源,繼而減少金錢政治活動。

希山諾丁指出,社團註冊局將在明年1月起向各政黨發出此項通令,即所有捐款必須存入政黨戶頭。

他解釋,相關部門正在研究如何管制政黨的政治捐款,包括規定政黨公開捐獻者身分及戶頭以供稽查、設立政治獻金頂額,以及由政府撥款給各黨,以減少政黨對私人捐款的依賴。

由區部開始監督

“通令是由社團註冊局執行,我們(反貪實驗室)是提出此倡議,不過我們也會針對上述領域進行監督。”

希山諾丁接受《中國報》訪問時也建議,個別政黨應有自己的審計報告,以詳細記載捐款往來。

他建議監督範圍從區部(部分政黨為區會)開始,然后州分會和中央黨部,因為這些政黨單位涉及受款較多,有必要由區部開始監督。

“這樣做就沒有政黨可以試圖掩蓋政治捐款,我們也可以監督貪污現象,至少這是政府嘗試減少貪污所作出的努力。”

另一方面,他指出,我國政黨和國會貪污現象並不嚴重,因為國會是可獨立操作也是個高度廉正機構,民眾無時無刻關心國會進展,所以他並不擔心國會貪污現象會惡化。

提升社會價值觀可防貪
高薪養廉不合國情

獨家報導:邱玉珊

(吉隆坡26日訊)國家關鍵成效領域(NKRA)反貪實驗室主任拿督希山諾丁認為,所謂的高薪養廉政策不適合我國國情,建立正確的社會價值觀,才可達到杜絕貪污風氣之效。

他指出,倘若政府可支付公務員更高薪金,政府一定會這么做,但是根據我國國情,目前公務員薪金已達理想水平。

相反地,希山諾丁認為,堅守道德操守才是社會價值觀的根本,倘若民眾都能表現于擇善而行的決心,那么我國政府就能夠牢牢地遏止貪污之風。

他以一位領袖級友人到訪第三世界國家為例子,當時該名“拿督”正打算離開該國返回我國,在飛機場內就將身上的零錢,約30令吉給正在清潔的機場工人。

“那名工人的月薪是150令吉,他卻拒絕收那筆錢,理由是他們沒有這種文化,一個小小的第三世界國家人民,他們的社會價值觀如此深入,所以所謂貪污是人心所在,國家政策不過是推動力。”

希山諾丁堅持,通過教育才是真正有效遏止貪污,只要提升民眾的社會價值觀就可讓我國邁向先進國。

反貪會移民局取締夜店
扣47涉賣淫聖誕美女
(檳城26日訊)“聖誕美女”扣留所內過聖誕!

涉嫌在夜店賣淫的女郎,穿上紅色性感衣裳,化身聖誕美女陪顧客度過平安夜;但違例夜店在平安夜不“平安”,才倒數迎聖誕節不久,移民局就拉隊上門取締,店內歡慶聖誕節氣氛被一掃而空。

布特拉再也移民局官員親自領軍,連同檳州移民局和檳州反貪污委員會,于週六12時45分拉隊到丹絨道光一間遭取締多次,但仍營業的卡拉OK夜店。

當局共帶返47名介于20歲至30余歲、涉嫌賣淫的外籍女子,同時扣捕經理及一名緬甸籍顧客。

逃不過圍捕

據悉,該店管理層相信為了配合聖誕節,指示陪座的外籍女郎穿上紅色衣服,讓客人感受濃郁的聖誕氣氛。但本來把酒言歡的快樂氛圍,隨著執法員指示負責人亮燈接受檢查,顧客們頓時感無趣,皆掃興而歸。

檳州移民局主任阿都卡迪爾昨早11時,在檳州反貪污委員會主席拿督拉蒂法陪同下,召開記者會時說,該夜店近兩年內,連同今次已遭該局取締4次,但夜店負責人仍繼續營業。

他說,47名來自中國和越南的女子,因濫用旅遊證件來檳工作而被捕。當時,外籍女子看見大批執法員上門取締時,企圖從夜店前后分散逃走,但逃不過圍捕,紛紛在店內12間房間內落網。

他說,夜店28歲經理因涉嫌包庇這些女郎而被扣留,另一名緬甸籍男子則因沒有任何旅遊准證而被捕。

據悉,外籍女郎皆被帶返檳州移民局扣留所,被延長扣留接受調查。

Mohd Isa Samad is new Felda chairman from Jan 1 (Updated)

KUALA LUMPUR: Former Negri Sembilan mentri besar Tan Sri Mohd Isa Abdul Samad has been appointed chairman of the Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) effective Jan 1 next year, according to a statement from the Prime Minister's Office.

Mohd Isa succeeds Tan Sri Dr Mohd Yusof Noor who has been appointed adviser to the minister in charge of Felda, also effective Jan 1, 2011.

The statement said Mohd Isa was appointed to the post based on the government's confidence in his ability to serve with excellence and effectiveness.

It said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak expressed his appreciation and gratitude to Dr Mohd Yusof for having helmed Felda from July 1, 2001 to Dec 31, 2010.

Under Dr Mohd Yusof's leadership, Felda underwent a remarkable transformation and scored many successes and, at the same time, contributed to the national economy, it added.

Mohd Isa, 61, was the mentri besar of Negri Sembilan for 22 years, from 1982 to 2004.

He was also a minister of the federal territories and is a former vice-president of Umno.

Mohd Isa became the assemblyman of Bagan Pinang in the parliamentary constituency of Teluk Kemang, Negeri Sembilan, after winning a by-election on Oct 11 last year when he beat Zulkefly Mohamad Omar of PAS by a majority of 5,435 votes.

Meanwhile, in Seremban, Mohd Isa said that his dream as Felda chairman is to achieve all objectives the government set for Felda.

"I do not have a personal dream, I just want to achieve what was targeted by the government when it established Felda," he told Bernama when commenting on his appointment.

He thanked the government for its trust and confidence in him, and pledged to discharge his responsibilities to the best of his ability. - Bernama

慕尤丁:雪州禁掛廣告牌‧反對黨擔心一個大馬受落

2010-12-24 09:21

(老越23日訊)副首相丹斯里慕尤丁說,雪州政府禁止掛上印有一個大馬標誌的廣告牌,顯示反對黨擔心一個大馬概念受落。

他表示,由首相拿督斯里納吉倡議的一個大馬概念已越來越受歡迎和獲得人民接受。

副首相今日在砂拉越老越室內體育館出席“領袖與人民同在”活動後表示:“雪州害怕已經成為大馬人民圖標的一個大馬標誌。”

慕尤丁表示,一個大馬概念具有崇高意義,目的是要不分政治背景團結各族人民。

他也表示,雖然政府已多次解釋有關一個大馬概念意思,但是反對黨仍然繼續歪曲一個大馬概念的含意,以混淆人民。

政府年撥2億津貼

慕尤丁也表示,國陣政府每年撥出2億令吉津貼,藉此減輕人民的生活負擔。

他說,國陣政府可以體會人民埋怨物價暴漲的心情及負擔,因此政府每年支付龐大的津貼減輕人民的生活負擔。

許子根:民聯擔心國人挺一個大馬

另一方面,在吉隆坡,民政黨主席的許子根說,他對雪州民聯政府禁止廣告牌及招牌中印有“一個馬來西亞”標誌一事,感到驚訝及失望,並指此舉顯示民聯擔心越來越多人支持“一個馬來西亞”理念的趨勢。

(沙巴‧山打根23日訊)新聞、通訊及文化部長拿督斯里萊士雅丁說,雪州政府沒有權力阻止人民使用一個馬來西亞的標誌,因為此舉違反聯邦憲法。

他說,聯邦憲法第10條文給予人們言論、收集和購買標誌的自由。

他今日在巴都沙比出席一項活動後於新聞發佈會上說:“可能是一些人不明白或沒察覺有這樣的憲法條文。我們提醒他們不要這樣做。”

他說,如果政黨的標誌被允許在雪州內使用,為何不代表政黨的一個馬來西亞標誌不能被使用。

他呼吁民眾不要為此感到擔心,因為一個馬來西亞的標誌是帶有建國原則、包容和社會正義的含義。

另一方面,萊士雅丁說,沙巴和砂拉越最遲將於明年2月在無障礙廣播發射的情況下,透過Astro收費電視台接收TV1,TV2和廣播電台。

See Sime Darby’s announcement to Bursa Malaysia below

KUALA LUMPUR: Sime Darby Bhd has filed civil suits against its former chief executive officer Datuk Seri Ahmad Zubir Murshid and four executives seeking damages and reliefs totaling at least RM340mil over three loss-making energy projects.

The four Sime Darby executives are Datuk Mohamad Shukri Baharom, (former executive vice-president of the group's energy & utilities division), Abdul Rahim Ismail (former chief financial officer of the group's energy & utilities division), Abdul Kadir Alias (former head of the oil & gas business unit of the energy & utilities division) and Mohd Zaki bin Othman (former senior general manager of Sime Darby Engneering Sdn Bhd).

According to an announcement to the Malaysian Stock Exchange, the suits filed in the High Court were related to their involvement in the Qatar Petroleum Project, the Maersk Oil Qatar Project (MOQ) nd the construction of marine vessels known as the Marine project.

Among the reliefs sought is an order that each defendant make restitution of RM80.51mil, wrongly paid to consultants in the QP Project.

Sime Darby also wants each of the defendants to make restitution of US$$30.8mil (RM95.9mil) being consultancy fees wrongly paid in the MOQ Project

Sime Darby also seeks restitution of US$48mil (RM149.5mil) from Zubir and Shukri, being the losses from the failure to deliver three marine vessels.

Earlier this month, it was announced that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission had found several “elements of fraud” in Sime Darby and had shared its findings with police and the Companies Commission for them to initiate action.

By K. KASTURI DEWI

GEORGE TOWN: A money-changing company and two of its directors claimed trial in a Sessions Court to allegedly transferring funds involving RM17mil abroad for a third party and failing to keep records of the transactions.

The company, R. Kalander Sdn Bhd, and its directors, Kalander Mydin R. K. Abdul Jabbar, 46, and Mohamad Imtiaz Rajah Mohamed, 33, were each charged with five counts of allegedly remitting funds of between RM3mil and RM4mil between July 23, 2008 and Aug 27 last year.

The company and the directors were also charged with five counts each of failing to keep records of transactions above RM20,000.

The charge of illegally remitting funds abroad for third parties under Section 30(1)(a) of the Money Changing Act 1998, carries a maximum fine of RM100,000.

The offence of failing to keep records of transactions above RM20,000 under Section 13 of Anti-Money Laundering Act 2001 and Anti Terrorism Financing Act 2001, carries a maximum fine of RM250,000 upon conviction.

Two brokers get 5 years’ jail, RM1mil fine each for money laundering

KUALA LUMPUR: Two unlicensed land brokers were each sentenced to five years' jail and fined RM1mil by the Sessions Court here Thursday for money laundering activities involving over RM4mil.

Judge Datuk Jagjit Singh made the decision after ruling that the defence for both accused failed to raise a reasonable doubt against the prosecution's case that the accused received the proceeds from the illegal activities.

The first accused, Gan Kiat Bend, 52, faced four charges of money laundering involving a total of RM2.4mil.

He was alleged to have committed the offence at Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia Berhad, No 2, Jalan Ampang, here between Nov 19, 2003 and Jan 9, 2004.

The second accused, Ismail Husin, 59, was charged with 12 counts of money laundering involving RM2.85mil. He was alleged to have committed the offence at the same place and time.

According to the facts of the case, Gan and a number of people were involved in the sale and purchase of land and falsifying of land ownership, with the proceeds paid to him and Ismail.

Jagjit sentenced Gan to five years' jail and fined him RM1 mil, or one year's jail on the first charge, two years on the second and fourth charge, and six months on the third, if he fails to pay the fine.

Ismail was sentenced to one year's jail on the first and 11th charge, six months on the second, third, 5th, 6th and 7th, two years on the 4th, 18 months on the 8th, five years on the 9th and 10th plus RM500,000 fine on each of these two charges or six months' jail for failure to pay the fines, and three months on the 12th charge.

Jagjit ordered the jail terms, sentenced under Section 4(1) of the Anti-Money Laundering Act 2001, to run concurrently from Thursday.

However, the judge allowed a stay of execution pending their appeals to the High Court.

Jagjit also ordered Gan to pay RM2.4mil and Ismail, RM2.6 mil, as penalty or levy for the laundered money involved, under Section 283 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

Failing to pay this penalty within a year will land them with another jail term.

In passing sentence, the judge said he took into consideration public interest as the offence was serious because it involved falsifying of land ownership, the amount was big and the money was not returned to the victims.

副部長拿督楊昆賢說,目前“一觸即通”(Touch &Go)等持卡人,凡每月使用大道80次,將在下次加額時享有20%折扣,這是政府體恤人民,希望減輕負擔的優惠。

“‘一觸即通’自1997年3月18日推介以來,服務已從繳付大道過路費,擴大至輕快鐵、電動火車、泊車費,甚至是支付主題公園的入門費。”

楊昆賢在國會上議院,如此回答拿督姚再添上議員的提問。

未妥善處理大課題
(吉隆坡22日訊)公正黨賽胡申阿里上議員批評,首相拿督斯里納吉自去年4月3日上任后至今年11月19日的588個日子,竟然有將近一半是在國外,然而國內重大課題卻沒有妥善處理。

他說,首相自上任后共出國42次,所耗用的旅遊費用更達872萬4896令吉,其中尤以到美國的消費最高,即一次花了100萬令吉。

為此,他批評首相耗用龐大資金出國,但卻看不見有任何成果。反之,國內事務也同樣不見有良好處理。

他今日于國會走廊召開記者會時,這么指出。出席者包括回教黨姆達絲上議員、詹比里上議員及行動黨拉馬克里斯南上議員。

姆達絲稍后也針對首相夫人拿汀斯里羅絲瑪所創辦的國家學前教育計劃(PERMATA)做出抨擊,並質疑為何一個國家的學術領域,卻有多個部門,甚至外圍勢力在做出影響。

“我國教育制度不是應該由相關部門處理嗎?為何現在首相署、婦女部甚至連首相夫人都扎上一腳?這彷彿讓我國教育制度無法劃一。”

另外,民聯議員也再度挑起首相夫人于今年10月主辦的第一夫人峰會,並沒有尊重元首后。賽胡申阿里抨擊,我國第一夫人不應是首相夫人羅絲瑪,相反應該是元首后,而有關峰會,也應該由元首后主辦才恰當。

2文件力證一個大馬非抄襲
納茲里:安華才是騙子
(吉隆坡22日訊)首相署部長拿督斯里納茲里今日展示2封文件作為證據,證明早前國會反對黨領袖拿督斯里安華指“一個馬來西亞”理念是抄襲“一個以色列”的言論,是在撒謊。

他說,APCO國際公關公司于今年8月19日發出一封信給他,親自交代自己的公司是負責為馬來西亞政府提供宣傳上的支援,與“一個以色列”口號無關。有關信函也早在上週,被附加在國會特權委員會報告中。

他補充,自己也收到來自一位曾經見證“一個以色列”口號的美國人羅勃西隆的宣誓聲明,來進一步證明,安華才是那個由始至終的撒謊者。

“安華如果不是到夜市集去欺哄人民,我想我也不用出示證據來揭發他說謊。”

挑戰安華再次辯論

他今日于國會走廊召開記者會時,這么指出。

詢及納茲里為何要拖到今天才出示這2份文件,他指自己其實很早以前就已收到上述2份文件,只是當時他以為這只是普通文件而沒多加留意。

他指自己只是平凡人,會有“看走眼”的時候,不像安華般是“神人”(GODMAN),甚么都未卜先知。

另外,他也挑戰安華若敢,就再一次到國會下議院內再次進行辯論,而他將會奉陪到底。

“這是我的遊樂園,我才不怕他!我相信他是知道自己會在下議院內說謊,所以才在本月16日搞出很多事。我向來宗旨是‘朋友終究是朋友’,但民聯卻是‘反抗終究反抗’!”

他說已出示相關證據,安華早前不斷指有證據要證明,但至今沒動靜。

為此,他揶揄安華,並指人民若感到不開心,儘管到夜市集去聽安華說話,畢竟安華說的話有足夠娛樂性,不過卻是不能相信。

沒干預下議院議長

納茲里強調,沒有在本月16日下議院最后一天開會時,對下議院議長丹斯里班迪卡做出任何影響。

他說,班迪卡不是特權委員會成員,而且也沒有投票權,若真的要說他干預議長,也說不過去。

他澄清,當時傳紙條給議長,是希望引起議長注意,並要議長公平對待,而不是讓民聯議員趁著喧鬧,搶奪了原本屬于他的動議時間。

“我早就告訴了他的律師,說我提的動議將會由朝野雙方個別派出5人參與辯論,但結果是他們先在議會廳內胡鬧。這下好啦,我給了他們6個月的休息時間,他們也可集中精神處理還在審訊中的雞姦案啊!”

詢及安華若在下議院說謊又可否會被對付,納茲里笑著說:“如果我們要針對他每一次在下議院內說謊而採取對付行動,我想我們需要2000年的時間才行。”

APCO:沒涉及一個以色列
和一個大馬沒關係

APCO今日在一份宣誓書中聲明,該公司並沒有涉及“一個以色列”計劃,同時也和“一個馬來西亞”沒關係。

首相署部長拿督斯里納茲里今日公布這份宣誓書,並指這份宣誓書駁斥了人民公正黨實權領袖拿督斯里安華早前指責。

“這份宣誓書確認了我們之前所說的,APCO和一個以色列計劃沒關係。”

總部位于華盛頓的APCO強調,任何指責APCO涉及“一個以色列”計劃是沒根據的。

“我們是在2009年,從大馬首相拿督斯里納吉的演講中,才知道有一個馬來西亞計劃。”

APCO也重申,願意與國會下議院特權委員會充分合作,提供完整及正確訊息,以證明指責是錯誤。

Selangor bans 1M’sia logo on billboard ads

Selangor bans 1M’sia logo on billboard ads
By A. RUBAN
ruban_22@thestar.com.my

KLANG: Selangor has banned advertisements on billboards that feature the 1Malaysia logo.

The 1Malaysia logo is a political logo, said state Housing and Local Government Committee chairman Ronnie Liu, adding that this contravenes local by-laws.

“You don’t see any billboard in Selangor carrying the PKR, PAS or DAP logo,” he told The Star, adding that the prohibition was not a new development.

“Local government by-laws in Selangor clearly state that political symbols cannot be used on billboard advertisements,” said Liu.

He said the 1Malaysia advertisements were a political message of the Barisan Nasional.

“It is clear that Barisan is pushing hard for the 1Malaysia concept and to send out its message to the people,” he said, adding that it was nothing but a political agenda and not allowed in the state.

He said it was only at certain times, such as a general election, that such advertisements would be allowed.

“Not on normal days,” he said.

“There are no DAP, PAS or PKR advertisements on the streets. It should be the same for Barisan,” added Liu.

He said the state government sent out circulars to all local and district councils in Selangor recently to reiterate the prohibition because certain quarters had wanted to include the 1Malaysia logo in their billboard advertisements.

“There was enthusiasm to add the logo in advertisements by certain quarters.

“So we had to remind the councils to be firm in prohibiting it,” he said.

Asked if Selangor was the only opposition state to ban 1Malaysia billboard advertisements, Liu said he was unsure of it.

Meanwhile, workers from the Kuala Langat district council tore down an advertisement bearing the 1Malaysia logo from a convenience store, sparking protest from about 50 people who included Umno and MIC members.

Store owner K. Thiagarajan, 26, said he and his two partners were shocked that they were not allowed to place a 1Malaysia poster in front of their shop.

“I obtained permission from the district council in September to put up the poster and was taken aback when I was summoned last Thursday to remove the advertisement,” he told reporters before submitting a complaint to council president Abdul Razak Jaafar.

“It is unfair to ask us to remove the poster, especially after we were given permission to put it up,” added Thiagarajan, who was accompanied by his lawyer.

430億捷運工程發酵 建築業力衝上軌

更新: December 21, 2010 17:48

(吉隆坡21日訊)國內重大計劃下的大型項目陸續開跑,總值逾367億令吉的鐵路工程如火如荼展開,2011年建築領域好景料力衝上軌。

聯昌證券研究分析師莎麗占在報javascript:void(0)告中指出,政府經濟轉型執行方案下,數項工程啟動將刺激領域發展。

她指出,第十大馬計劃下總值分別逾360億令吉和70億令吉的地鐵(MRT)及輕快鐵(LRT),亦重新上軌道,並陸續頒發。

“以明年7月進行動土儀式的計劃來看,下一個地鐵合約料將在明年首季頒發,緊接在后的就是總值約15億令吉的第二個輕快鐵合約。”

莎麗占認為,在政府致力發展和改善公共交通的大前提下,建築公司將趁大勢搭上發展的“高速鐵道”,前景備受看俏。

“政府尚有數項合約還在競標階段,相信未來6至9個月內,建築領域將好消息連連。”

其中一項可能刺激領域發展的潛在項目,就是發展總值高達100億至120億令吉的高鐵項目。

高鐵或錦上添花

惟她亦認為,總值360億令吉的地鐵計劃,成本已超越建造布城的200億令吉、吉隆坡國際機場(KLIA)的100億令吉,及北部雙軌鐵道125億令吉的計劃,或遭在野黨質疑工程所需成本。

此外,莎麗占亦相信,由于涉及工程龐大,當局在收購地鐵隧道土地時,或耗費更長時間,甚至因此需要修改土地法令,方能解決問題。

儘管如此,這僅是發展的部分問題,聯昌證券研究認為,來年建築業將在大型計劃帶動下一片繁榮。

副揆:國陣研究再拆穿
民聯承諾像大平賣
(布城21日訊)副首相兼國陣署理主席丹斯里慕尤丁說,國陣將把民聯提出的“執政中央首100天落實10項利民政策”記錄在案,仔細研究其后果,再告訴人民當中存在的騙局。

他說,國陣政府要研究,民聯甜言蜜語背后,究竟存在什么蠱惑民心的詐騙。

他指出,民聯可能猜測大選即將來臨,進而對選民提出各種“特別優惠”,好像季節大減價,大平賣那樣。

“回到根本,這關係到政府,關係到國家的未來,如果他們只是提出優惠特價,他們是否有能力兌現承諾?這是一個大騙局!”

慕尤丁今天在首相署主持國家青年建設內閣委員會會議后,在記者會上這么說。

他說,民聯可能猜測全國大選即將來臨,故以甜言蜜言作出各項承諾,但回顧上屆全國大選,民聯同樣承諾執政雪州后將推行種種政策,卻從未實現。

“他們說,成為政府后將落實這些承諾,問題是,他們有能力嗎?”

慕尤丁舉例,民聯謂執政中央后,全國教師加薪500令吉,其結果是,全國有將近40萬名教師,政府一個月須花費2億令吉,1年得花費24億令吉。

勿遭甜言蜜語蠱惑

他質詢,民聯有否想過,提高教師薪金,其他公務員怎辦?為何不一起提升他們的薪金?其他組織機構和私人界,是否也一定受到影響?

他說,單單是中央政府,就有120萬名公務員,如果每人加薪500令吉,乘以120萬再乘以1年,幾年下來,政府將面臨破產。

慕尤丁抨擊民聯沒有執政中央的實際經驗,才會如此誇下海口,人民必須仔細考慮,別輕易受到甜言蜜語的蠱惑。

他說,國陣執政53年,一直保持著良好施政,使國家進步發展,政府在決定每項政策前必定對其后果作出謹慎考量,斷不可浪費,帶來不利國家的影響。

8官員被扣
(吉隆坡21日訊)內政部副部長拿督李志亮指出,截至今年10月,共有8名移民局官員和2名外籍人士,疑涉及人口販賣,而在內安法令下被扣留。

他說,期間還有11名移民局官員和8名民眾疑涉及行賄活動,而被反貪污委員會調查;另有20名在巴生港口移民局就職的官員,被當局調到其他地方就職。

李志亮今日在國會上議院口頭問答環節,回答李占春上議員提問時,這么說。

他指出,該部也研究規定所有酒店和私立高等學府,把在馬的外國遊客和外籍學生名單交給附近警察局,以進一步鞏固監督該群體的方式。

他說,該部嚴格執法,以確保外籍人士不會重犯同樣錯誤;逾期逗留學生將抵觸1959/63年移民法令第15(4)條文,罪成將被控,其刑罰是監禁、列入黑名單及驅逐出境。

Ex-Sime Darby senior manager charged with bribery

Ex-Sime Darby senior manager charged with bribery (Updated)
By LISA GOH

KUALA LUMPUR: Sime Darby Engineering former senior manager Mazhazni Jamaludin, 36, has claimed trial to obtaining a RM200,000 bribe over the contract for three barges worth USD134.2mil two years ago.

He was accused of obtaining the money from MLC Shipbuildings Sdn Bhd owner Redzuan Goh Mohamad Karian, as reward for proposing a contract to build and sell the barges at MLC Shipbuildings office in Kulala Lumpur between 1.25pm and 5pm on Dec 31, 2008.

He also allegedly endorsed payments for the building of the three barges.

The charge under Section 11(a) of the Anti-Corruption Act 1997 carries a jail term of between 14 days and 20 years and fine not less than five times the amount of the bribe.

DPP Anthony Kevin Morais (from Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission) offered bail to be set at RM20,000 with one surety.

In mitigating for lower bail, Mazhazni's counsel Shamsul Sulaiman said that throughout the investigations, his client had always been told that he would be called only as a witness but instead he was charged with the offence.

"My client says he was tortured during the investigations, stripped naked, blindfolded and asked to do things in front of the person interrogating him.

"He was made to stand on one foot and also threatened," he said adding that he would be filing a police report on the matter.

Morais said the accused had been released on a RM10,000 MACC bail since June this year and if the allegations were true, he could have filed a police report much earlier.

The court then set bail at RM20,000 with one surety and Jan 7 for mention.

1Malaysia is not a copy, says PM

KUALA LUMPUR: The Prime Minister has expressed regret over allegations of 1Malaysia being a copy of a concept adopted by another country.

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said 1Malaysia was Malaysia's own creation.

"There is nowhere in the world that has 1Malaysia, People's First, Performance Now.

"We move forward based on reality not based on dreams or try to trade on something that is unrealistic.

"It is easy to make a political promise," he said after officiating Cuepacs' 25th convention Tuesday.

Najib said the government was a responsible government, which formulated policies based on realities.

On bonuses for civil servants, Najib said any payments would depend on the country's economic situation.

"The government must be realistic and not spend more than it earns.

"We cannot borrow to pay civil servant salaries or else we will end up being ruled by the IMF (International Monetary Fund).

"What is the use of being independent when our sovereignty is ruled by an international body like IMF?" he said.

Ex-Immigration No 2 gets total 56 years for graft
By NURBAITI HAMDAN

KUALA LUMPUR: Former Immigration deputy director-general Yusof Abu Bakar has been jailed a total of 56 years and fined a total of RM620,000 by a Sessions Court.

Judge Abu Bakar Katar, however, ordered the sentences on 14 bribery charges to run concurrently.

Thus, Yusof will be required to serve only six years.

The judge allowed an application by Yusof's counsel for a stay pending appeal to the High Court.

Last Thursday, Yusof was found guilty of the charges involving RM121,500 over the approval of visit passes of Chinese nationals two years ago.

He allegedly received the money from a sales manager between March 21 and June 25, 2008.

The offences were committed at his office in Putrajaya, at a hotel in Jalan Bukit Bintang and at the Caltex petrol station in Jalan Pudu.

All the charges were under Section 11 (a) of the Anti-Corruption Act 1997 and punishable under Section 16 of the same act.

Abu Bakar had imposed the lowest jail term at two years and the highest at six years and the lowest fine at RM10,000 and the highest at RM92,000 for the 14 charges.

Earlier, Deputy Public Prosecutor Mohd Sophian Zakaria of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) objected to the application for a stay of execution, saying the defence had failed to show any special circumstances in the oral application.

雪探討《初》片退稅‧郭素沁:無指南暫無從著手

* 國內

2010-12-18 18:30

(雪蘭莪‧蒲種18日訊)雪州高級行政議員郭素沁指出,雪州民聯政府正主動探討退回20%娛樂稅給本地中文電影《初戀紅豆冰》;不過,由於沒有相關指南,暫無從著手。

促電影公司速呈資料


因此,她呼吁相關的電影公司儘快提交詳盡的資料,以作進一步研究。

她在出席一項活動後說,她曾於本週三的州行政會議上提出上述課題,當時雪州大臣丹斯里卡立也立刻指示州財政組的官員探討如何處理此事;但是,由於沒有相關退稅指南,因此尚未有進一步行動。

郭素沁透露,雖然州政府有意退稅給電影公司,但一切必須依據財政部指南行事;根據財政部的規定,只有主題公園(theme park)及F1方程式賽車,方能豁免娛樂稅。

導演阿牛應提出申請

她說,即使州政府有意給予協助,但是《初戀紅豆冰》導演阿牛陳慶祥也必須給予全面配合,主動提出申請,並把所有資料,譬如在雪州的上映院線數量和票房等,呈交給州政府,才能進一步探討有關的細節。

許子根:專注備戰大選
延後黨選不超過15個月
(吉隆坡18日訊)民政黨主席丹斯里許子根博士宣佈展延黨選不超過15個月,把原訂明年底黨選,展至最遲2013年3月31日前舉行。

他說,由于民政黨要專注部署大選工作,同時加強選區服務中心,還有工作效率而決定展延黨選。

他指出,該黨援引黨章第43(1)條文,授權黨中委會建議,展期黨選不超過15個月,即原定明年底舉行的黨選,可以不必在此時舉行。

“中委會也正式接納,各級黨選,即分部、區部、州級和中央黨選展期的建議。”

許子根今日主持民黨總中委會議后,發表談話。

出席領袖包括署理主席拿督鄭可揚、3位副主席拿督斯里謝寬泰、拿督丁福南和柯希蘭,及總秘書鄧章耀。

2013年31日前黨選

許子根補充,黨選展期15個月期限,是從2011年12月31日過后至2013年31日之前。

另一方面,中委會議今日也議決,民政黨和宏願開放大學于明年1月22日,聯辦向已故黨主席敦蒼祐致敬大會,邀請黨領袖、基層和人民出席,以表達對敦林敬意。

他說,這項大會是在檳城宏願開放大學舉行,希望大家能從敦林精神中學習其中庸政治路線,以積極方式治國理念。

他指出,黨定期刊物也會出版敦林蒼祐特輯,同時收集黨內領袖,尤其是元老的言行和貢獻事跡,好讓年輕一代學習。

許子根也是首相署部長,提到台商要求我國免簽證一事,他說,內閣會議確有討論台灣免簽證措施,並決定交由內政部處理和協調此事,但由于這非其部門權限範圍,故他不願置評。

非國語本土電影
應一視同仁退稅

許子根認為,除了《初戀紅豆冰》之外,在今年內上映的本土電影(非國語),應該可獲得同等退稅對待。

他確認內閣在會議上,有談到由阿牛執導的《初戀紅豆冰》退還20%特別稅務問題,並認為,如果《紅》片能如願以償,其他在今年內上映的非國語本土電影也應一視同仁。

許子根說,除了《初戀紅豆冰》,其他本土電影,包括非馬來語文電影也可申請20%免娛樂稅。

他指出,新聞、通訊及文化部長拿督斯里萊士雅丁,已向內閣提呈建議書,增加對國家電影發展局撥款。

他說,該局基金用完是事實,不過,只要符合條件的本土電影,他們都可以提出申請,尤其是今年內上映電影,都應該受到考慮。

他補充,他在內閣會議后私下也曾與萊士雅丁討論此事,並表明支持上述建議。

“萊士雅丁曾提起,要向內閣建議,增加電影局基金撥款,以便能把20%退稅還給本土電影製作公司。”

不過,他強調,傳媒應向部長提問此事,不應由他越俎代庖代為回答問題。

首相:雙溪毛糯通往加影
地鐵明年7月動工
(梳邦18日訊)首相兼財政部長拿督斯里納吉今日宣佈,在大吉隆坡計劃下,政府將在明年7月動工興建首階段雙溪毛糯通往加影,長60公里的地鐵系統(MRT)。

納吉也宣布,由金務大及馬礦業組成的聯營公司,是這項計劃的“工程交付合作夥伴”(Project Delivery Partner)。

納吉今午在陸路公共交通委員會總執行長莫哈末諾依斯邁,和委員拿督莫哈末依爾旺陪同下,做出上述宣布。

納吉說,政府選擇首階段工程由雙溪毛糯通往加影開始,是因為當地沒有足夠的公共交通服務,而且早在2008年,國家基建公司已經完成這條路線的評估工作,並提出相關建議。

“金務大-馬礦業聯營公司,最近也評估過雙溪毛糯通往加影的路線。”

他說,由雙溪毛糯通往加影的地鐵軌道,全長60公里,當中有10公里將是地下鐵路,全程共設有35個車站,工程定在2011年7月動工,整個工程花費360億令吉,費時5至6年。

“無論如何,360億令吉預算只是初步估計,因為我們還要進行工程階段招標,屆時預算可能會有更動,而且也必須考慮到建材價格,是否漲價等種種因素。”

納吉說,雙溪毛糯通往加影路線的地鐵系統,一旦與電動火車、安邦線輕快鐵或格拉納再也路線輕快鐵交匯,那么工程將會另外建造綜合車站,整合所有捷運服務。

金務大公司財務穩定
擁建地下鐵隧道經驗

首相說,選擇金務大和馬礦業組成的聯營公司為“計劃傳遞夥伴”,主要是因為上述公司財務狀況非常卓越,而且擁有豐富建造地下鐵道和隧道經驗。

他指出,做為“計劃傳遞夥伴”的金務大和馬礦業聯營公司,須確保新地鐵系統建造工程,在預定時間內完成,一旦超支或工程延誤,必須由他們自行承擔。

他說,國家基建公司是計劃持有人,陸路公共交通委員會是建造計劃的監督者。

他指出,“計劃傳遞夥伴”的角色和“統包”(turnkey)承包商不同,因為新地鐵的一些其它建造工程將會開放招標,而政府將會自行決定招標的事情。

“金務大馬礦業聯營公司,不能參與其它工程項目競標,除了地鐵隧道工程。我們允許金務大馬礦業聯營公司競標地鐵隧道工程,因為他們是唯一本土擁有建造隧道經驗的公司,例如精明隧道和高雄地鐵計劃。”

他說,但是金務大馬礦業聯營公司,必須和其它公司競爭。

卡巴星:修憲需2/3議席
國陣休想得逞
(檳城18日訊)民主行動黨主席卡巴星強調,聯邦憲法159條文清楚闡明,修憲一定要通過國會下議院三分二多數票,三分二人數是依據現有議席架構為基礎,即使民聯4名國會議員被議長凍結資格,國陣也無法掌握三分二多數票。

他說,下屆大選即將到來,國會下議院議長現時凍結他及另3名民聯國會議員的資格,其實毫無作用,國陣也休想可趁此進行修憲。

他指出,2008年大選時,國會下議院總共有222名朝野國會議員,國陣佔140席、反對黨與獨立82席,若加上被視為親國陣的6人,也只不過是146席,不足憲法所規定的三分二,即148名。

“聯邦憲法159條文下所指的三分二多數票,並非是依據可出席人數,即使我們4人被凍結資格,也不意味國陣可開動修憲行動。除非也是律師的國會下議院議長對這項條文另有其自己的闡釋法。”

卡巴星也是武吉牛汝莪區國會議員。他今日在斯里德里瑪區州議員雷爾等陪同下,在亞依淡一間茶室召開記者會上,這麼指出。

他說,議長最多只能對他及3名民聯國會議員下禁足令,但無權禁止他履行民選議員職務。

他將入稟法庭,挑戰國會凍結他們4人國會議員資格的動議。

“這是影響深遠的一道諭令,國會議員是民選代議士,只有人民才有資格收罷除這項使命。議長無權禁止民選代議士履行其職責,只能發出禁足國會禁令。”

Miri folk can get medicine posted to them

Miri folk can get medicine posted to them
By STEPHEN THEN

MIRI: A home-delivery service for medicine — the first of its kind in the state — has been launched here.

Initiated by the Health Ministry, patients registered with the Miri Hospital will be able to ask for their medicine to be delivered to their home address using Pos 1Malaysia service at RM6 per delivery.

Miri Divisional Health and Medical Services director Dr Faizul Mansor said the service would eventually be extended to other towns in the state.

“Under the system, anyone who goes for medical check-ups in the Miri Hospital and gets registered as a patient and is treated by a doctor, will qualify for the service.

“When he is at the hospital, he is eligible to get one month’s medicine supply from the pharmacy after his treatment. After that, he can ask the hospital for the home-delivery service,” Dr Faizul explained.

He said the medicine can be delivered to patients for two months.

He added that there were several strict conditions including that the medicine be delivered directly to the patient concerned, and not through a third party; the address of the patient must have a government-recognised postcode; and the medicine must be in tablet form.

“Liquid medicine and powdered medicine will not be delivered in this manner,” said Dr Faizul.

He pointed out that the Miri Hospital was the nucleus hospital for the northern region of Sarawak, serving some 400,000 patients in Sarawak’s northern districts of Miri, Niah, part of Bintulu, Marudi, Limbang and Lawas.

Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister Datuk Seri Peter Chin, who launched the service, said: “This service is a big step forward in improving healthcare in Sarawak.

“Patients living far away from Miri have to spend a lot of money just to come to Miri Hospital to get their medicine. Now that this new service is in place, it will help them save travelling expenditure.”

Chin also said riverine folk living along the Baram River would soon be able to get medical treatment and health checks from mobile clinics.

He said the new and innovative services were part of the community-transformation programme initiated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak to help improve the quality of life of people living in the far reaches of the state.

Starting next year, the Health Ministry will deploy boats equipped with proper treatment facilities and trained medical staff on the Baram River so that people living in riverine settlements can board them for health checks and medical attention.

PKR names 3 new vice-presidents

PETALING JAYA: PKR president Wan Azizah Wan Ismail named human rights lawyer N. Surendran, Sarawak strongman Baru Bian and Johor chief Chua Jui Meng as the party’s three new vice-presidents.

"This team is a mix of young and experienced faces. We hope that this combination will infuse Keadilan with vigor and strength to remain at the forefront of new politics and the agenda for change.

"We are confident that this multi-racial and capable team will be acceptable to voters," Azizah told a press conference on Saturday.

Surendran, Bian and Chua will join the elected vice-presidents of Nurul Izzah Anwar, Tian Chua, Fuziah Salleh and Datuk Mansor Othman.

In accepting his appointment, Surendran said: “I certainly hope to use the position to influence a better Malaysia and bring about a fairer government.”

He said that everyone was quite pleased with the announcement as it included both senior and younger members.

“I am comfortable with everyone and I look forward to working with them,” Surendran said.

Chua said that it was an honor to be appointed as the new vice president.

“I hope that I’ll prove myself worthy of the trust the president has put in me.

“I felt that I did not want to deprive anybody. Those true reformists who had withstand all the pressures and challenges from the beginning should be given priority, that was why I withdrew myself from candidacy for the post initially.”

Chua also stressed that it should be a lesson to all political parties that there must be a balance in terms of the appointment of leaders saying that older and experienced members plus dynamism of the younger ones was necessary.

Lawyer Latheefa Koya, who was appointed for a new post as a Legal bureau said that her new role would be to give the party legal service and advise the party on the lawsuit that it faced.

Apart from that, Rafizi Ramli is the new director of strategy replacing Tian Chua who was also promoted as the new vice president.

Former vice president Sivarasa Rasiah and Selangor Deputy chief Minister Xavier Jeyakumar are now in the political bureau.

Dr Nur Manuty takes Latheefa’s post as Information chief and will be assisted by two deputies - Pantai Jerejak assemblyman Sim Tze Tsin and Animah Ferrar.

Communications director Nik Nazmi and secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution were the only ones who retained their positions and they will be assisted by Sabah youth leader Darell Leiking and T Kumar.

The postponement was made based on Article 43.1 of the party constitution which allowed the Central Working Committee (CWC) to recommend to the CC to postpone the party election not more than 15 months from the scheduled date, which is Dec 31, 2011.

"Elections will be postponed at the branch, division, state and central levels. This decision is not to avoid the principles of democracy in the party, but to enable the party to make preparations to face the general election," he told reporters after chairing the CC meeting.

Koh said the principles of democracy in the party would continue to be practised to strengthen the party organization at the grassroots level.

On the behaviour of the opposition parliamentary members at a recent Dewan Rakyat sitting, Koh said it was seen as "politics without responsibility and has negative effects on the country".

"The present politicians play too much politics, staged many demonstrations, as if since the 2008 general election, we have never stopped campaigning," he added.

He said politicians should practice moderate politics which did not play excessively on people's sentiment, but responsibly as practiced by former Gerakan leaders, like the late Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu, who was an opposition leader in the 1960s.

"Tun Dr Lim's stance as an opposition was positive and constructive. If there was a difference in opinion, he did not turn the situation chaotic, but adopted a constructive approach by giving constructive suggestions," he added. - Bernama

PM: Construction of RM36bil KL Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) to begin July
By LOH FOON FONG

KUALA LUMPUR: The Cabinet has approved the implementation of a mass rapid transit system for Kuala Lumpur, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak Saturday.

Construction of the RM36bil project will begin in July next year, he said.

The largest infrastructure project in Malaysia approved Friday in a Cabinet weekly meeting, is one of the economic entry points identified in the Greater Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley National Key Economic Area under the Government’s Economic Transformation Programme.

Construction work is expected to begin in July 2011 and will take about five or six years to complete, Najib said.

The MRT is expected to improve public transport in the Klang Valley and generate 130,000 jobs during its construction.

It is also expected to generate gross national income of between RM3bil and RM4bil per annum from 2011 to 2020 from direct construction and operations and another RM8bil and RM12bil as a result of its multiplier impact.

The first line in MRT network will run between Sg Buloh and Kajang through the centre of Kuala Lumpur.

Association in the dark over Kg Baru Development Corp bill

Association in the dark over Kg Baru Development Corp bill

KUALA LUMPUR: The Kampung Baru Development Association is upset at being left in the dark over the Kampung Baru Development Corporation Bill 2010 which was tabled at the Dewan Rakyat last Tuesday.

Its chairman, Dr Yusof Ismail said Saturday that several changes were proposed to the draft bill during a laboratory brainstorm in Malacca in August and any amendment made should be endorsed by the residents before it was tabled in parliament.

"Among the aspects touched were the corporation's jurisdiction as it will be vested with broad power, including seizing land.

"On the other hand, the Kampung Baru Malay Agriculture Settlement Administration Board, which made up the advisory council, will have no influence on decisions made by the corporation while the corporation board members are guaranteed protection from legal action.

"Such provisions will lead to negative repercussions," he told reporters here.

The explanation given by the ministry at a meeting with about 200 residents of Kampung Hujung Pasir and Kampung Periok last Tuesday was too general, he said, adding that the ministry should explain the bill in detail to Kampung Baru residents before the second reading in parliament.

(Kampung Baru is made up of seven villages, including Kampung Hujung Pasir and Kampung Periok).

Dr Yusof, who was former Economic Planning Unit director (industry), said the price of the land valued by Rahim & Co, which was appointed by the ministry, was rather low.

"Despite projecting that Kampung Baru land could double in value, Rahim & Co calculated the present value of residential land at RM350 per sq foot (psf).

"On the contrary, a piece of land in Kampung Baru sold by Tan Sri Aishah Ghani family 15 years ago fetched RM500 psf. As such, Kampung Baru land could fetch between RM700 and RM2,000 psf," he added. - Bernama

據《馬來西亞局內人》引述消息說,基于隨時可能舉行全國大選,原定上月或本月宣佈的內閣改組已延后。

“全國大選或已不遠,成立一個全新內閣比較理想,不會引起不必要的效果。”

或无法否决国阵三分二优势 民联怀疑国阵有议程

●南洋商报

(吉隆坡15日讯)再有三名民联国会议员面对或被冻结议员资格半年,民联怀疑国阵有议程,企图通过下议院议长操控议会常规,打击民联,以致今后无法否决国阵在国会的三分二优势,甚至不能阻止划分选区。

这四名民联议员一旦被冻结资格后,将导致民联的下议员人数减至73人,届时将打击民联国会地位,尤其是无法否决国阵议员三分二优势。

民联担心,国阵政府在夺回三分二多数议席后,或将乘机修宪或任意划分选区,不利民联。

目前民联国会议员的人数为77人,随着4名议员或被冻结议员资格后,将暂剩73人,而要否决国阵三分二的多数议席,至少须有74人。

民联国会领袖拿督斯里安华说,行动党武吉牛汝莪区国会议员加巴星、公正党梳邦区国会议员西华拉沙以及鹅麦区国会议员阿兹敏根本没有机会解释,国阵不该草率动议冻结议员的资格。

(吉隆坡15日讯)随着《初恋红豆冰》课题持续延烧,新闻部已决定从明年起废除本地电影须有60%马来文的条例,以便能够一视同仁,协助本地各语言电影的发展。

家庭、妇女及社会发展部副部长王赛芝今日指出,新闻部长拿督斯里莱士雅丁最近透露,将从明年起废除本土电影须有60%马来文的条例。

政府也从明年起不再给予本地电影提供退税,但一视同仁看待非马来语本地电影,让本地中文电影能享有各种相同的优惠。

王赛芝也是前新闻部副部长。她说,虽然这项措施明年才实施,但《初恋红豆冰》事件应以个案处理。

《初恋红豆冰》可三赢

她希望,《初恋红豆冰》事件能够以三赢局面解决。

“三造包括新闻部长拿督斯里莱士雅丁、卫生部长拿督斯里廖中莱及《初恋红豆冰》制作组,希望此事获得圆满解决方案。”

《初恋红豆冰》这部本地制作的电影,因不符合电影局采用60%国语的规定,被列为外语片,无法获得20%税务回扣,而引起各方的深切关注。

王赛芝今日出席停止虐待小孩活动闭幕礼后说,爆发《初恋红豆冰》事件后,有向莱士雅丁提呈备忘录,以寻求解决方案。

“我觉得应该一劳永逸解决这个问题,莱士雅丁在此方面给予积极的回应。”

出席者包括联合国儿童基金会(UNICEF)大马代表汉斯奥森、大马儿童热线主席沙比里拉曼、巴打灵再也市议会儿童会成员林淑美(译音)、联合国开发计划署代表卡马尔。

解釋遭駁回動議與議長爭論
卡巴星遭驅逐半天
(吉隆坡14日訊)行動黨武吉牛汝莪區國會議員卡巴星,為了解釋其遭駁回的動議不是針對法官行為,而是公共機構當局一事,與議長丹斯里班迪卡阿敏爭論不休,最終遭驅逐出國會半天。

卡巴星的動議其實早在議長辦公室內被駁回,但前者卻在問答環節后,提出他的問題,儘管議長多次嘗試阻止他繼續發言,並關上其麥克風,但卡巴星卻依然故我。

卡巴星強調,其問題在于一名法官不肯回應其書信,因此其動議不是針對法官的身分,但議長卻認為這涉及議會所不能討論的法官行為問題。

議長反問卡巴星,“為何一直要別人聽從你,你以為你是誰?我是議長,那位詮釋會議常規的人。在第42條文下,當議長講話時,沒有人可以講,不理是舊議員與否。”

“讓我先說,武吉牛汝莪在國會也應該有像在法庭的責任,不要忽略議會常規,你知道被駁回的動議是不能再討論的。”

但卡巴星依然不罷休,議長還不忘了提醒他如果再繼續講下去,會讓他休息,卡巴星反指責議長在恐嚇他,這時其他議員包括行動黨華都牙也區國會議員馮寶君也企圖聲援卡巴星,卻被議長阻止,指這是他與卡巴星的事。

最后,議長以干擾會議程序為由,將卡巴星驅逐國會至下午2時30分。

指責政府勾結以色列
安華或禁足國會半年
(吉隆坡14日訊)國會下議院特權委員會建議,凍結指責政府聘用與以色列有關係APCO顧問公司的國會反對黨領袖拿督斯里安華國會議員資格,長達6個月。

同時,特權委員會也建議訓斥曾侮辱特權委員會主席的行動黨武吉牛汝莪區國會議員卡巴星。

國會特權委員會報告,是由委員會主席兼國會下議院議長丹斯里班迪卡阿敏,于今日提呈給國會下議院。

特權委員會在報告中指出,他們在研究所提呈證據后,同意安華指責不正確,並有違反國會議員的權力和特權。

“因此,委員會決定且同意峇東埔區議員必須凍結議員資格長達6個月。”

指影響“一個大馬”理念”

根據常規,這項由首相署部長拿督斯里納茲里,所提呈將安華交由特權委員會調查的動議,需要2天通知時間,以帶上國會下議院辯論。

這也意味著,這項動議會在后天帶到下議院辯論,而下議院也在即將提呈共二讀的法案之后,加入提呈及接納特權委員會報告的動議。

特權委員會成員除了議長外,還有6名朝野議員,但兩名民聯議員公正黨梳邦區國會議員西華拉沙和卡巴星,是在本月初退出委員會會議。

委員會認為,安華指責非常嚴重,以致影響“一個馬來西亞”理念,因此有必要採取適當懲罰。

此外,委員會也關注卡巴星在6月9日侮辱主席行為,以致當天會議被迫展延,卡巴星不尊重和低估其他成員資格,委員會因此建議訓斥卡巴星。

Syariah judge gets 19 years’ jail

Syariah judge gets 19 years’ jail
By SYLVIA LOOI
sylvia@thestar.com.my

IPOH: Perak Syariah Court judge Hassan Basri Markum was sentenced to a total of 19 years’ jail and fined RM210,000 after he was found guilty of seven corruption charges by the Sessions Court here.

He is the first Syariah judge to be sentenced for corruption.

However, as Sessions judge Tan Hooi Leng ruled yesterday that some of the sentences are to run concurrently, Hassan Basri, 56, will only need to serve 10 years in jail.

In passing judgment, Tan said the defence had failed to cast reasonable doubt on the charges against Hassan Basri.

”The court cannot accept the money was meant to pay off a loan,” she said.

Tan, however, allowed the defence’s application for a stay of execution pending an appeal and set RM5,000 (total RM35,000) bail for each charge.

As Tan was reading out her judgment, Hassan Basri’s wife Maznah Idris was seen sobbing in the public gallery.

Hassan Basri, who was charged under the Anti-Corruption Act 1997, was accused of:

> Soliciting a bribe of RM3,000 from Mohamad Imran Abdullah to release bail money to Yoong Hor Kit over several criminal cases at Restoran Wawa in Tambun at 8.15pm on Aug 15, 2007;

> Receiving the bribe in a car at D.R. Seenivasagam Park at 3.25pm on Sept 6 (over the case involving Yoong);

> Soliciting a bribe of RM1,100 to help Mohamad Asri A. Bakar marry Nor Farihan Hassan without going through proper procedures at the same restaurant in Tambun at 8.30pm on Aug 15;

> Agreeing to receive the bribe in a car at the Hillcity Hotel at 6pm on Aug 17 (in the case involving Asri and his girlfriend);

> Agreeing to receive another bribe of RM1,100 from Mohamad Imran to produce a marriage certificate allowing another couple, Mohd Jefri Afandi Ahmad and Nur Liza Musa to marry without going through proper procedures in a car at D.R. Seenivasagam Park at 3.20pm on Sept 6;

> Soliciting RM20,000 from Yoong Hor Kit, through Mohd Sharif Abdul Ghani, to release bail money and reduce sentences in several criminal cases at the Perak Shooting Asso­ciation building at Jalan Raja Dr Nazrin Shah here at 8.30pm on Aug 7, 2006; and

> Receiving RM10,000 from Yoong to release bail money and reduce the sentences on several cases at the same place on Aug 9, 2006, at 11pm.

In mitigation, defence counsel T. Shan appealed for a lower sentence as the accused had been jobless since he was charged.

”He is now working in a restaurant,” he said.

In pressing for a heavier sentence, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Com­mission (MACC) head of prosecution unit Datuk Abdul Razak Musa said the court must send a clear signal that corruption would not be condoned.

Akim renamed to Kita, Zaid is new chief
By RAHIMY RAHIM

PETALING JAYA: Former PKR leader Datuk Zaid Ibrahim has been elected chairman of Angkatan Keadilan Insan Malaysia (Akim) during an annual general meeting.

He took over from Zakaria Salleh, who did not contest the seat.

Zaid quit PKR last month in protest over the party's failure to address the issue o0f vote rigging in the recent party elections.

Zaid, who had been contesting the deputy president post in PKR, submitted his membership application to Akim last month.

Zaid, who is also former Umno member, had quit his Cabinet post after March 8 2008 following disagreement with the ISA detention of several people, including a journalist.

He had been widely speculated to either form a new party or join an existing one as top leader.

The Kelantan-based Akim was formed in 1995 but was politically dormant until recently.

He also submitted an application to the Registrar of Society to change Akim's name to Kesejahteraan Insan Tanah Air (Kita).

Later, he told reporters that he would announce the party's new idealogy and principles on Jan 19.

The party, which is only for Muslims now, will also be changed into a multi-racial party, he said.

Motion to suspend three Opposition MPs listed; Azmin, Sivarasa ejected (Update)
By TEH ENG HOCK

KUALA LUMPUR: A motion to suspend three Opposition MPs for six months for committing contempt was listed in the Dewan Rakyat's Order Paper on Wednesday.

It is stated in the Order Paper that a Minister in the Prime Minister's Department would move the motion against Karpal Singh (DAP-Bukit Gelugor), Azmin Ali (PKR-Gombak) and R.Sivarasa (PKR-Subang).

Both Karpal Singh and Sivarasa, who are members of Rights and Privileges Committee members, were cited for contempt for making statements outside the house on the proceeding of the committee on Dec 3.

It said they had disclosed testimonies and a letter revealed during the committee meeting. As such, they had contravened Standing Order 85, which states that statements obtained in front of a select committee and any letters issued to it cannot be shown to anyone until the notice is brought to the Dewan Rakyat.

It said Azmin had, in a notice dated Dec 6 under Standing Order 18(1), touched on the testimonies and letter that was submitted to the committee.

Their actions is offensive and against their rights and privileges as MPs and is in contempt of the Dewan, it said.

The motion to cite the three for contempt was related to Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who has been referred to the Rights and Privileges Committeee for alleging that 1Malaysia is linked to One Israel Campaign via Apco Worldwide.

The committee had tabled its findings in Dewan Rakyat recommending Anwar to be suspended for six months.

Later, Sivarasa and Azmin were ejected from the House.

Sivarasa had earlier raised the Chair's dismissal of his emergency motion to debate the WikiLeaks issue.

This then prompted Azmin to bring up the motion against them listed in the Order Paper, resulting in a war of words between Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia and Opposition MPs.

At one point, Pandikar Amin told the MPs, who were challenging the motion, that if they insisted on talking about the issue, he would not proceed with the Order of the day.

大选提前加速马股上涨 银行业者成首选股

大选提前加速马股上涨 银行业者成首选股
2010/12/14 10:55:41 AM
●南洋商报 报道:周汉文

(吉隆坡13日讯)分析员指出,大选提前是加速马股涨势的另一个利好因素,目前是部署2011年投资策略的良机。

野村证券表示,2011年的3大投资主题为消费激增、资产再膨胀和并购潮主题;达证券行提出的领域,则包括建筑、银行、产业和石油与天然气。

3投资主题

其中,野村证券的首选股项主要来自银行领域,包括联昌国际(CIMB,1023,主板金融股)、马银行(Maybank,1155,主板金融股)和大马投资银行(AMMB,1015,主板金融股)

其他还有首要传媒(Media,4502,主板贸服股)、实达集团(SPSetia,8664,主板产业股)、云顶马来西亚(GenM,4715,主板贸服股)、森那美(Sime,4197,主板贸服股)和大马机场(Airport,5014,主板贸服股)。

或提早大选

尽管大选最后期限落在2013年4月,不过,野村证券预测大选可能提早举行,甚至有望提早至明年上半年。

投资策略方面,野村证券指出,随着股市不断出现并购,并购潮也是不可忽略的投资主题之一。

过去1个月,股市已出现4大并购,其中涵盖6家产业公司以及1家消费集团。

野村证券指出,近期的产业并购和整合有望确保:(一)股市的购兴持续,以及在2011年专注在产业领域;和(二)股市出现更大型的产业业者,以及更庞大的流通率,可吸引更多的投资者。

产业股基本面仍正面

除了股市流通率改善是产业领域的重新评估催化剂,野村证券也维持该领域基本面的正面评价,主要是因供需关系。

并购活动将使银行领域受惠,特别是国内首屈一指的投资银行集团——联昌国际。

UEM置地(UEMLand,5148,主板产业股)收购阳光(Sunrise,6165,主板产业股),以及国库控股(Khazanah)收购百汇控股(Parkway Holding),都由联昌国际担任顾问。

小银行成外资目标

此外,银行领域也出现并购案,如目前的丰隆银行(HLBank,5819,主板金融股)收购国贸资本(EONCap,5266,主板金融股)。

野村证券预计,小型银行业者如安联金融(AFG,2488,主板金融股),有望成为外资银行的并购目标。中型银行业者方面,大马投资银行(AMMB,1015,主板金融股)和兴业资本(RHBCap,1066,主板金融股)是最佳的合并对象。

消费推动经济增长

另一方面,野村证券表示,过去30年大马人口已倍增至2800万,是东协区域内人口最快速增长的国家。

值得关注的是,约一半人口年龄低于25岁,而低于40岁的人口达73%,在年轻人口趋向消费更多的情况下,已促使消费成为经济增长的推动力。

同时,大马人均收入也呈增长趋势,2000年以来,人均收入每年平均增长9%。相比1990年,如今,已有超过55%的家庭每月的收入至少达2500令吉,20年前的收入不超过1000令吉。

整体消费大增

由此可见,中等收入的一群已逐渐提高,而整体消费也因此大增。

此外,更高的原棕油价格也让乡区的种植业者受惠,根据数据,随着2007年原棕油价格高涨,这些业者的收入已提高3倍。

消费支出方面,一般上都是城市显见较为强劲,但从近期的汽车销量数据可见,如今此趋势亦出现在乡区。

宜投资建筑 产业 油气

达证券行指出,经济转型执行方案下,目前是投资建筑、银行、产业和石油与天然气公司的时机。

该分析员表示,以上提及的领域将是经济转型执行方面的最大受惠者。

其中,近期涨潮中,石油与天然气领域已落后于大市,预计各项工程将恢复以及船只租赁率提高下,将是该领域重新评估的催化剂。

同时,分析员指出,美元走弱以及石油输出国组织(OPEC)不会提高石油产量下,将促使原油价格进一步攀高。

分析员预测,令吉兑美元2011年杪可达2.80水平,而令吉持续走强也有助于减轻一些公司的成本压力,如国家能源(Tenaga,5347,主板贸服股)。

老千集團偽造當票‧假當舖假金騙30萬

老千集團偽造當票‧假當舖假金騙30萬

2010-12-14 10:57

(柔佛‧新山13日訊)假當票、假金飾、假當舖、真老千。

新山出現以低價出售偽造金飾當票行騙的“假當舖老千集團”,這些老千為了取信於人,竟在鬧市開設假當舖配合行騙。


這些假當舖的設計與真當舖一樣,都裝有染色玻璃、櫃台和假的閉路電視。目前已知有多名金商“中招”,損失金額高達30萬令吉。

據瞭解,假當舖老千集團的運作模式,是以至少4人為一組。他們先租下一間店面作為假當舖。一旦佈置妥當,其中兩人就會外出物色獵物,並將獵物吸引至假當舖。

消息說,老千會以急需現款治病為由,同時以巨額提攜誘騙受害人購買假當票。一旦到了假當舖,假當舖的“負責人”就會“證實”當票是真的。受害人往往此時就會掏錢買當票。

當受害人持假當票向假當舖要求贖回金飾時,假當舖就將假金飾交給受害人。

假當舖人去樓空

當受害人驚覺金飾是假的而再度上門時,就會發現假當舖已經人去樓空。

據瞭解,日前至少有一名逾40歲的商人,在烏魯地南地區被上述手法騙走9萬5千令吉。

警方已經突擊老千集團開設的多家假當舖,並發現這些假當舖只有門面,店內則空無一物。

新山南區警區主任再努丁證實警方正對數宗上述案件展開調查,並說,民眾如有任何線索,可致電07-2212999或向附近警局投報。

(吉隆坡14日訊)行動黨宣佈展延明年黨選為期12個月,以便專注於應對可能在明年舉行的全國大選。

行動黨秘書長林冠英指出,黨中委會昨晚在會議上一致同意,展延將在明年舉行的全國與州級黨選,以把所有資源投入在備戰第十三屆全國大選。

他預測,下屆大選將與砂州州選舉同步舉行。

林冠英也是檳州首長兼峇眼區國會議員,他今日在國會走廊召開新聞發佈會表示,“隨著巫統和馬華宣佈展延黨選,很明顯地國陣將在明年舉行閃電大選。尤其是馬華,雖然總會長曾宣佈不會展延黨選,但是他昨天所做出的決定,很明確地暗示大選將在明年舉行。”

“為了黨能夠準備籌備工作來應戰,我們認為應該把所有的資源投入在籌備工作,所以會展延全國和州級的黨選。我們是援引黨章第八條文展延黨選。”

他表示,展延黨選的決定將會影響今年底在森美蘭和砂拉越舉行的黨選。

黨選最遲後年8月舉行

行動黨黨選原定在明年8月最遲舉行,隨著這項宣佈,黨選將展延至最遲2012年8月舉行。

林冠英也說,第十三屆全國大選將是大馬歷史上最重要的大選。

另外,針對他曾表示若是政府宣佈解散國會,檳州州議會將不會同步解散州議會一事,林冠英改口說:“我們會不會一起解散,到時候才做最後決定。因為要到明年還有時間,到時候才做決定。”

“我們不否定我們將不解散州議會的可能性,但我們也不否定我們將不會一起舉行(解散國州議會),但是到最後才決定。”

明年實行電子退稅制
加速內陸稅收局效率
(雲頂14日訊)內陸稅收局明年將全面推行“電子退稅”措施,以加速退還多付稅款給納稅人的效率。

該局會計組副主任再迪莫哈末指出,電子退稅系統即方便又保險,同時節省納稅人的時間與省卻到銀行進支票的麻煩。

他說,該局將在明年全面推行電子退稅制度,納稅人只需向該局提供正確的銀行戶頭號碼及身分證號碼,就能享受電子退稅的好處。

“國內24家與MEPS有聯繫的銀行,皆能進行電子退稅。

“今后,內陸稅收局將直接通過銀行過帳系統,將退稅匯入納稅人銀行戶頭,納稅人將收到內陸稅收局的電子郵件及信函通知。”

再迪莫哈末在該局主辦的“2010年電子退稅及電子帳冊”研討會上,這么指出。

他促請納稅人使用該局的電子報稅系統,以便能在最短時間內獲得退稅。

“使用電子報稅的納稅人,能在30天內獲得退稅;使用郵寄或櫃台報稅,在90內獲得退稅。

“目前共有420萬名納稅人,其中190萬人使用電子報稅。”

支票退稅制有弊端

他說,目前99%退稅通過郵寄支票,預料推行電子退稅措施后,將逐步提高使用銀行過帳退稅的比例。

“若全國420萬名納稅人都能夠提供完整身分證號碼或公司註冊號碼,以及銀行戶頭號碼,那么將能落實100%電子退稅目標。”

他指出,現有支票退稅制度面對支票被串改、郵寄支票無法寄到納稅人手上、支票成本高昂問題,因此,電子退稅既方便,又快捷及安全。”

他說,納稅人經常面對問題是,在退稅支票3個月有效期之后才存入支票,使支票被駁回;另外,一些只獲數十令吉退稅的納稅人,需要特地去銀行存入支票,非常費時及不劃算。

阿牛王賽芝釐清
退稅消息來自報導

《初戀紅豆冰》退稅風波

阿牛(中)和鄭建國特到國會拜訪王賽芝(左),討論《初戀紅豆冰》是否獲得內閣同意回扣%02娛樂稅一事。
(吉隆坡14日訊)內閣是否曾同意退還本地歌手阿牛執導的《初戀紅豆冰》20%娛樂稅事項?阿牛今日聯同婦女、家庭及社會發展部副部長王賽芝現身說明,“好消息”是來自報章。

阿牛與該影片製作人鄭建國今早到國會,與王賽芝一同召開記者會,厘清此事。

他說,王賽芝其實與他們一樣,都是從報章上知道《初戀紅豆冰》獲得20%娛樂稅回扣消息。

萊士雅丁否認退稅

早前有指內閣將退還20%娛樂稅給有關影片,惟新聞部長拿督斯里萊士雅丁隨后否認此事,引發到底回扣說法是來自誰的爭議。

阿牛說,王賽芝在為《初戀紅豆冰》爭取20%娛樂稅回扣的事項上給予很大幫忙,但最近彷彿所有相關輿論壓力都在她身上,他認為人們可能模糊了焦點。

他週二專程到國會,就是要與王賽芝厘清事情來龍去脈,並搞清楚內閣當初是否曾真的同意,要給予該電影20%娛樂稅回扣。

詢及早前在生日時獲得20%娛樂稅回扣的喜訊,如今卻又收到相反的壞消息,心情如何,原本一臉認真嚴肅的阿牛,忽然開玩笑的說出:“生病了囉!”

之后,他強調自己的感受是一回事,最重要還是釐清事情的真相。無論結果如何,他們都會依照結果去重新跟進和爭取。估計這部電影的20%稅收回扣高達80萬令吉。

行動黨黨選 林冠英:配合砂州選舉 預測3或4月大選

行動黨黨選
林冠英:配合砂州選舉
預測3或4月大選

報導:吳慧芳、梁俊琳

(檳城12日訊)民主行動黨秘書長林冠英預測,國陣會在明年3月或4月配合砂拉越州選舉,進行閃電大選。

“根據我們得到的消息,國陣會在這一至兩天採取攻擊性策略,以籌備閃電大選。”

林冠英也是檳州首席部長。他今早出席檳州行動黨大會時,這么說。

他坦言,行動黨原以為下屆大選應不會那么早進行,不過國陣的攻擊是個徵兆,因此他要求黨員必須開始準備應戰。

“打江山難,要保住江山更難,我們必須團結一致。”

林冠英說,2008年308大選兩年后的檳州行動黨,是否繼續旗開得勝,或借酒消愁,這就要看黨員了。

“我們能否保住州政權,就要看大家,若民聯沒有推翻國陣,人民的未來就無法獲得保障。”

他重申,要保住州政權,民聯就必須是人民可以相信的政府、幫助人民,而不是害人民。

“沒有智者要為愚者效勞,不好的政府及私人企業將嚇走最好的人才。”

不承認國陣指控

另一方面,林冠英指出,行動黨不會承認國陣及他們的盟友,誣衊行動黨是反馬來人、反回教、反統治者及反國文的指控。

“國陣堅持馬來人優先、馬來西亞人為次的政策,行動黨則不分宗教及種族為全體馬來西亞人鬥爭。”

林冠英也譴責巫統及其盟友,將反對他們種族主義理念的人士,視為叛徒及仇人。

吳慧芳:新聞評論
送行動黨一面鏡子

政客都有兩個模樣,一是嚴以待人、寬以待己;二是喜歡報喜不報憂。

他們做錯事時,總會有可被寬恕的理由;敵對黨或政敵做錯事,那就是天理不容、需被批判的大事。

對待媒體,他們喜歡報喜不報憂,喜歡媒體宣揚、讚揚他們的政策,不喜歡媒體一直批評他們的短處與不足。

你告訴他們:監督政府是媒體責任,他們會告訴你,過分監督、一直揭發及渲染他們最黑暗一面的媒體,都是居心不良、被收買、受到政治主子指示。

對于政客,你不能期待他們理智看待忠言逆耳,因為在政治上講真話,就是破壞他們的利益,讓他們隨時失去選票。

針對于媒體,他們的標準是:敢報道敵對黨最黑暗一面的是勇敢,報道不利自己的媒體,叫做搗蛋、看熱鬧。

無風不起浪

他們常罵政敵,一只手指指向媒體,另4只手指指向自己,卻沒看到自己的影子,也正有4只手指指向自己。

行動黨秘書長林冠英說,一些媒體帶著看熱鬧心情到檳州行動黨大會,他要黨員團結一致,讓這些看熱鬧的媒體失望。

可是,有一句話叫做無風不起浪,也有句話叫做空穴來風未必無因,沒有行動黨黨員或領袖對媒體爆料或發泄不滿,媒體怎會知道:原來表面一片和氣的檳行動黨,竟是一片刀光劍影?背后一堆互相暗算?

不曾對外談黨務的行動黨檳州原任主席曹觀友,也坦然告訴媒體,他和林冠英有矛盾,其處境如同夾心人,這又是媒體的炒作及存心看熱鬧?

為何這些黨員及領袖會選擇媒體管道放話,而不是通過黨內部談論問題?是不是內部不理會,或不接納異議聲,才導致這些人需要媒體管道,發泄情緒或引起黨高層的關注?

這,才是行動黨應關注的問題所在。

GEORGE TOWN: Sixty-five people have been arrested in Penang by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in connection with corruption allegations so far this year.

Penang MACC director Datuk Latifah Md Yatim said 25 of them were arrested for allegedly giving bribes and those hauled up included from the professional and support groups, and the public.

She said the MACC would launch an anti-corruption campaign to raise awareness on the negative effects of corruption and ways to eradicate the menace.

The number of arrest over corruption allegations in the state has risen significantly from 50 people last year, she told reporters after attending a seminar on the Integrity in the Construction Industry here Monday. - Bernama

Najib: Opposition can’t emulate BN’s record

PEKAN: It is impossible for the Opposition to take over Barisan Nasional’s role in leading the country, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

He said the idea of the Opposition emulating Barisan’s success was implausible when they did not even have a common ideology.

“Their political beliefs clash with one another, showing their partnership to be a loose one,” Najib said at a Deepavali lunch gathering hosted by Pekan MIC division here yesterday.

Najib said Barisan had a proven track record of holding true to its promises, as compared to opposition parties which were only good at making empty promises.

“From the days of the Alliance until the Barisan leadership, we have proven that we keep to our promises.

“Barisan brought the nation independence and we will be the one to steer the nation to be a highly-developed one,” he said.

“The world has seen leaders who only knew how to make promises bring calamity to their people.

“Therefore, the people should not take any risk that may make them regret later,” said Najib.

He also gave the assurance that his administration would continue to lead the country and be fair to everyone.

“We cannot afford to forsake our future.

“If Barisan cannot win, no others can win,” said Najib.

內閣關注星洲日報報導‧慕尤丁:保證派雙語教師
國內頭條新聞 2010-12-10 18:04

慕尤丁說,教育部將會傳達及執行內閣的決定,即在華小和淡小一二年級的國文科由懂得雙語的教師執教。(圖:星洲日報)
(布城10日訊)星洲日報今日的封面獨家報導獲得副首相兼教育部長慕尤丁的即時回應;他保證教育部一定會執行內閣的決定,委派懂得雙語的教師到華小及淡小教一二年級的國文科。

據悉,今天的內閣會議也討論了星洲日報的封面報導。



開學前發通令

慕尤丁在推介阿米爾基金信託學校計劃後在新聞發佈會上促請華社不必擔心,以及保證會在開學前發出有關通令。

“我們將執行內閣所同意的決定,況且目前很多學校都是這麼做(一二年級的國文由懂得雙語的教師執教);這不是新的措施,只是內閣再次通過這項決定而已。”

他說,教育部將會傳達及執行內閣的決定,即在華小和淡小一二年級的國文科由懂得雙語的教師執教。

會去瞭解個案

針對有些校長已收到教育局明年委派不諳中文的教師執教一二年級國文的信件,慕尤丁說,“我們會去瞭解有哪些個案,哪一些學校(已收到信件),畢竟內閣已做出決定,我們將去執行,不用擔心。”

由於教育部遲遲未發出通令闡述華小一二年級國文須由懂得雙語的教師執教的內閣決定,雪蘭莪和彭亨州一些華小已收到教育局通知,明年將有不諳中文的教師被派到他們的學校,以執教一二年級的國文。

此外,森美蘭州教育局也在最近的內部會議上議決,由於未收到教育部的相關通令,因此,該局須在鞏固國文政策下,確保所有一二年級的國文是由主修國文的教師執教。

雇主推荐评估费350 建筑外劳准证延5年

雇主推荐评估费350 建筑外劳准证延5年
2010/12/10 5:33:37 PM
●南洋商报 报道:彭秋福


大马建筑业发展机构可安排派专人前往大型工地,评估工作。
(八打灵再也10日讯)不少大型工程不久后动工,政府为了缓和建筑业人手缺乏问题,决定让已在大马工作5年的建筑外劳,从明年1月1日起,工作准证期限可再延长5年。

大马建筑业发展机构(CIDB)总执行长拿督韩查说,要申请延长准证的外劳,须获得雇主推荐,以及通过由该机构评估技术水平后,才获得批准。

不合格届满须回国

他说,这项评估费用是每名外劳350令吉,费用由雇主负责。

目前身在英国的韩查受《南洋商报》询问时说,政府是在最近决定此事,并在近期内公布详情。

韩查说,该机构须安排官员评估外劳技术工作,加上手续费,因此须向雇主征收350令吉的评估费用。

他说,雇主须向该机构推荐要延长工作准证的外劳,接受评估后,若外劳技术合格,就可以继续多工作5年。

“相对的,若评估不合格,有关外劳就须在准证届满后回国。”

30万建筑业外劳

韩查说,国内目前有逾30万名建筑业外劳。

询及该机构的评估标准情况,他说,雇主可向该机构了解详情及申请程序。

大马建筑业发展机构的网址为www.cidb.gov.my。

据了解,外劳若持有合法工作准证、绿卡和证书,雇主就可以向该机构推荐他们接受重新评估工作。

新措施详情料15日宣布

人力资源局总监拿督赛雅亚受《南洋商报》询问时时说,政府是在不久前决定此事,预料本月15日召开会议的内阁外劳委员会,会宣布新措施详情。

根据目前的政策,建筑业外劳只能在我国最多工作5年,在准证届满后,就须回国。基于人手短缺问题,建筑业者早前促政府检讨此事,要求延长他们的工作准。

首相:內閣雖同意
電費不會馬上漲
(賽城9日訊)首相拿督斯里納吉說,雖然內閣原則上同意調漲電費,不代表議決會馬上落實。

他說,政府必須考量各種因素,包括調漲電費是否對廣大人民及消費者造成負擔。

“內閣原則上同意,但不代表立刻調漲電費。”

天然氣電費或下月漲價

納吉今天出席反貪委員會與商會簽訂反貪宣誓承諾后,在記者會上受詢時這么指出。能源、綠色工藝及水務部長拿督陳華貴昨日說,內閣已原則上同意檢討電費,但仍未確定何時會作出檢討。

陳華貴說,隨著政府減少補貼,內閣原則上贊同檢討電費,也會決定是否允許國能調整電費。

(吉隆坡9日訊)首相署部長拿督斯里納茲里指出,他將在本週五的內閣會議中,把網絡歌手黃明志欲申請拍攝《NASI LEMAK2.0版》電影的撥款帶到會上討論,並向首相拿督斯里納吉傳達黃明志要見首相的意願。

他說,一旦首相安排好日期后,他會通知黃明志。

“今日黃明志前來會見我,主要是為了感謝我為他洗脫煽動民族情緒的罪名。”

不過,納茲里解釋,根據總檢察署告訴他說,在政府沒有一個法令可提控黃明志,只有在后者歌曲中提到的國中女校長可起訴黃明志。

“黃明志只是一個年輕人,喜歡露股溝,這是他們表達情緒的方式,就好像我兒子,我也管不了這么多。”

納茲里今日在國會辦公室會見黃明志,並仔細聆聽黃明志的要求,他們在交流約10分鐘后,才邀請媒體進入及,召開記者會。

黃明志今日在經紀人張捷維和2名女友人陪同下前來會見納茲里,黃明志還是不改其嘻哈作風,他披了一件大衣,贈送《好好野新歌+精選》專輯及《我要回家》紀錄片給納茲里。

納茲里告訴記者,黃氏告訴他,黃氏今日帶著忐忑不安的心情會見他,他也指出,后者不是一個政治家,只是一位喜歡創作音樂,欲要拍攝一個馬來西亞為主題的電影人。

即席增派床褥廚具給災民
首相訪米都贏喝采
(亞羅士打9日訊)首相拿督斯里納吉體恤人民需要,在獲知派給水災災民的1萬張床褥及5000個廚具仍不足后,當場宣佈增派1萬張床褥及5000個廚具,引起災民喝采。

納吉今早旋風式造訪米都,移交“四合一”援助品給吉玻水災災民,除了床褥及廚具外,每戶家庭也可獲500令吉現金,另外稻農也獲農業部援助金。

有關援助品,是由隸屬巫統的“一個馬來西亞布特拉”俱樂部派贈。

撥6000萬助災民

納吉指出,只要是真正的災民,無論有無遷至救災中心都可獲得援助金,而政府已鑒定吉玻約有3萬2000名災民。“每戶家庭可獲500令吉,因此政府共撥出3060萬令吉。”

他補充,政府透過農業部撥款6000萬令吉,其中1000萬令吉修補基本設施,其余則是給稻農的援助,即從每公頃573令吉增至876令吉。

他也為自己無法在水災時前來慰問災民致歉,當時他因出水痘而須入院,不過他已派其特別私人代表,即夫人拿汀斯里羅絲瑪前去災區,并下指示必須讓全部災民,不管是“藍色”或“青色”,一律獲得政府援助。”

“國陣政府堅守公平原則,而我們祈禱災民獲得援助后,能謹記政府的恩惠。”

另外,他也說,儘管有人說水災是因發展所導致,不過若國家沒有發展,大馬將貧窮和落后。

“發展是必須的,不過政府將確保有關發展不會對環境造成影響,因此誰也不要輕易怪責政府。”

Any power tariff revision will consider burden on consumers: PM Najib

PUTRAJAYA: Any revision of the electricity tariff would take into consideration the cost and burden to be borne by the consumers, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said.

The Prime Minister said although the Government had agreed in principle for a review of the tariff, it did not mean that the charges would go up soon.

He said the Government had to study the matter from all angles before Cabinet made a decision.

"When the Government says that in principle, there should be a tariff revision, it does not mean that we enforce the new rates immediately," he told reporters after representatives of the business community signed a pledge to fight corruption, at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre, here Thursday.

Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister Datuk Seri Peter Chin Fah Kui said earlier Thursday that a revision of the electricity tariff had been put on hold for now, but the Government would review the rates when the environment was more conducive.

Chin said the Government had, in principle, agreed that a tariff revision was necessary as costs had gone up and fuel prices had spiralled. - Bernama

Rapper Namewee not racist but "grossly misunderstood": Nazri
By YUEN MEIKENG

KUALA LUMPUR: Controversial rapper Namewee is not a racist but a young man who has been "grossly misunderstood" and misrepresented by the media.

"He has done nothing wrong which may be considered an offence under any laws in this country," Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz told a press conference at his office in Parliament here Thursday.

The rapper, whose name is Wee Meng Chee, was also present.

Wee had previously made a video, using obscene language, criticising a headmistress in Kulaijaya who allegedly made racist remarks during a school assembly on Aug 12.

Although many were upset that no action was taken against Wee over the clip, Nazri said he had looked into the case and agreed with the Attorney-General's Chambers that Wee had not committed any chargeable offence.

"The only person who can take any action against him is the headmistress as she is the only aggrieved party," he said.

Nazri added that Wee was not even a politician and should not be "dragged into something that he didn't want to be involved in at the first place".

"He's only interested in music and how it can spread messages to his peers," Nazri said.

"He has explained to me what he has done and I think he has potential. If we can help him, he will be able to become an artiste one day," he added.

Nazri said Wee fully supported the 1Malaysia concept propagated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

On Wee wanting to meet Najib after being denied funds by the National Film Development Corporation (Finas) to make a 1Malaysia-themed movie, Nazri said he would inform the Prime Minister about the matter during the Cabinet meeting Friday.

Wee later read out a statement to the press, saying he was a patriotic Malaysian and expressing regret that the mainstream media had highlighted his controversial videos, instead of others which showed his love for the country.

"I admit that some of the videos are controversial but I have no intention of hurting anybody's feelings. If I have offended anybody, please accept my apology," he said, adding that he had no political agenda.

他表明,在今年11月9日發表的談話,若傷到任何種族,他深感遺憾(dukacita)。

“我從來沒有質疑非土著的愛國精神,當年抗戰及對抗馬共的人士,大部分是華裔。”

吁非土著從軍

阿末扎希在國會下議院,針對民主行動黨怡保東區國會議員林吉祥早前動議,指非土著不愛國導致非土著當兵率非常低的國防部長減薪一事,作出上述答覆。

他說,打從心底裡都沒有意圖質疑國內各種族的愛國精神。

他說,除了華裔,其他種族如印裔、卡達山、伊班及達雅族等,都是愛國的。

阿末扎希指出,雖然各族持有不同理念,但是,非政府組織、社會領袖、青年組織等,都應響應號召,呼吁非土著從軍,以加強我國軍力。

雖然有國會議員要求他針對非土著不愛國,因此不當兵的言論,作出道歉,但是,他沒有給予回應。

Khir Toyo charge not show or gimmick: PM Najib
By DHARMENDER SINGH

PUTRAJAYA: The prosecution of former Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Khir Toyo for land fraud is not a case of selective prosecution or a gimmick by the Government, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said Thursday.

Najib said the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) had scrutinised the facts of the case in detail before reporting it to the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC), which then decided there were enough grounds to take the case to court.

He said the prosecution was result of the work carried out by two independent bodies, the MACC and the AGC, and they had followed all the necessary processes before taking the case to court.

"We are not using the prosecution as a gimmick. How is it a sandiwara (sideshow) if he (Dr Khir) has been charged?

"This is what happens when a curruption case is turned into political issue. They want to slam the Government by making it look as though we are not serious (in fighting corruption), we are covering up or we are conducting selective prosecution," he told press conference here after witnessing the signing of a pledge to combat corruption by five bodies representing businesses.

The bodies are the Malaysia Chamber of Commerce, Associated Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Malaysian Associated Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers and the Malaysian International Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Najib was commenting on claims by the Opposition that Dr Khir's prosecution was no more than a gimmick by the Government ahead of the next general election.

PM launches 1Malaysia mobile clinic
By CHAN LI LEEN

IPOH: The nation’s first 1Malaysia mobile clinic providing healthcare to residents in remote areas has been launched.

“We want Malaysians to be productive and successful and two important things to look into are health and education,” said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak at the launch at Kg Pos Raya on Thursday.

“Even if we have a good education system, but no healthcare then there is no point.”

Run by the Health Ministry and 1Malaysia Development Bhd, each mobile clinic is headed by a medical officer and would operate from 8am to 5pm, Mondays to Fridays.

The first mobile clinic will service southern Perak and Hulu Selangor while another three buses will be added next year that will serve Selangor, Pahang and Johor.

Najib added 75% of Malaysians lived within a 5km radius from hospitals and health clinics while the remainder had “slightly out of reach” healthcare.

0“So, the best way to reach out to these residents is through such mobile clinics,” he added.

Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said treatment provided at the mobile clinics would be free.

“Minor surgeries can be carried out besides providing medical checks. One of the main ideas is to treat those who are sick before their condition worsened,” he said.

He added under the 10th Malaysia Plan, the Government would add another 25 1Malaysia clinics in 2011 and 2012 respectively.

KUALA LUMPUR: Defence Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said he did not mean to hurt the feelings of any race when he cited a lack of patriotism as one of the reasons for the small number of non-Malays in the army.

He said he also did not intend to question the patriotism of non-Malays in the country.

"History has proven that national heroes who fought against communists and British invaders consisted of Indians, Chinese, Kadazan, Serani and so on," he said in his ministerial statement at the Dewan Rakyat on Wednesday.

"I am sad if my answer to the Parliament on Nov 9 has upset others."

He urged political party leaders, non-governmental organisations and youth movements to work together with the Government to increase the participation of non-bumiputras in the army to make the 1Malaysia concept a success.

Dr Ahmad Zahid, however, did not apologise when M. Kulasegaran (DAP-Ipoh Barat) asked him to do so.

On Nov 9, Dr Ahmad Zahid told Parliament that non-Malays made up less than 1% of new recruits in the armed forces for the 2008/2009 session.

He said this was possibly due to a "sense of patriotism that is not strong enough" the fear of the strict discipline in the Malaysian Armed Forces and less attractive pay compared to the offer from the private sector.

Other possible reasons he cited included lack of encouragement from family members and less encouragement to join the armed forces because of the various prejudices.

安華申請換法官二度駁回 提出上訴.下月續審

申請換法官二度駁回
提出上訴.下月續審
(吉隆坡6日訊)國會反對黨領袖拿督斯里安華就被控雞姦案二度要求撤換法官的申請,再遭承審法官莫哈末查比丁駁回。

不過,卡巴星當庭提出展延審訊申請,以讓辯方有時間就此裁決向上訴庭提出上訴。法官于是擇定本案于明年1月21日續審。

較早時,法官針對自己是否退審的申請裁決時說,他在11月24日與安華代表律師卡巴星的對話,並沒有對被告安華構成嚴重偏見,因而駁回安華的申請,即身為承審法官的他不退審。

法官說,他在閱讀法庭當天審訊筆錄之后,認為自己並未有偏見。

他指出,主控官莫哈末尤索夫當時形容該撤換法官要求是史無前例的,因此從未有任何基于法官裁示而提出的撤換申請。

“我認為一個理性的人,若閱讀這些文字,都不會認為其中有真實的偏見危險。因此,我駁回這項申請。”

安華是在11月25日,就法官與卡巴星的對話,認為法官恐嚇其代表律師,構成嚴重偏見,擔憂無法享有公平審訊為由,而入稟法庭要求撤換承審法官。

統考3科及SPM國文優等 獨中生可進師訓

統考3科及SPM國文優等
獨中生可進師訓
(布城6日訊)馬華總會長拿督斯里蔡細歷披露,明年起,獨中統考生只須在統考中考獲3個優等(包括華文科),並在大馬教育文憑(SPM)考獲國文科優等,就可進入師訓班。

他希望,這項宣佈可鼓勵更多統考生,積極響應申請師訓班,以解決國內華小師資短缺問題。

他說,教育部長丹斯里慕尤丁同意讓統考生以3個優等,及大馬教育文憑國文科優等的條件進入師訓班,是30多年來的一大突破。

“讓統考生進入師訓班就讀,是我們自30年以來的最大訴求,如今獲批准,也等同政府承認及肯定獨中在我國教育界扮演的角色。”

蔡細歷:好的開始

蔡細歷今日在布城一家酒店召開記者會,發表談話。

針對若在大馬教育文憑的國文科無法考獲優等,可否在進入師訓班后再補考時,蔡細歷說,這些都是技術問題,可以與教育部討論。

“若你要當公務員,國文科須考獲優等,這是最基本條件,就如你在英國或新加坡,若要當公務員,你的英文科也須考獲優等一樣。

“讓統考生進入師訓班是個好的開始,我們將繼續與教育部談論有關統考生進入國立大學就讀的課題,不過,我們不會為這項討論設定期限,這些問題都必須逐步解決,勿操之過急。”

10億建33公里路太貴了 為子民利益.雪政府拒絕

10億建33公里路太貴了
為子民利益.雪政府拒絕
(莎阿南6日訊)興建33公里道路竟要價10億令吉,令雪州大臣丹斯里卡立高呼太貴了!

卡立透露,一家公司日前在州經濟行動理事會獻意州政府在依約興建一條長達33公里的道路,但因成本太高,州政府始終沒有答應。

他今日出席由瓜雪縣議會主辦的常月會議時透露,這項計劃竟高達10億令吉,而遭州政府毫不猶豫的拒絕。

他以自己以前還在商界的經驗比較說,他興建長達35公里的牙直利大道,也不過耗費3億5600零吉,但這項33公里的道路竟要價10億令吉。

“如果州政府貿然同意上述計劃,駕駛人士必須承擔一趟至少2令吉的過路費,為了子民的利益,州政府至今仍沒有答應。”

屋業擱置出現濫權

同時,卡立也指出,瓜雪縣議會過往因出現濫權的問題,導致區內出現多項屋業擱置計劃,令成千上萬的購屋者蒙受虧損。

他說,瓜雪安南高峰一項涉及5000戶居民的屋業發展,擱置至今10年未有進展,導致購屋者蒙受虧損。

他指出,這種問題會發生,皆因縣議會當時在批准計劃時,未仔細的探討,并出現濫權的問題。

他說,瓜雪縣議會如果不是因為多項擱置計劃,財務狀況肯定將會更好。

卡立也是依約州議員。他指出,他日前分別會見4000位購屋者,他們皆面對建屋工程完成70%,但因發展商未繳付地價,工程因此被擱置。

他說,或許過往的發展計劃審批程序中存有政治人物干涉,但州政府提出這些問題並非要責怪任何一方,而是要提醒所有官員必須進提高其服務表現,改善過失。

“州政府不斷爭取資訊自由,目的就是要避免這種問題發生,以便人民有權審閱發展計劃,確保不出現濫權問題。”

辭國大黨主席
三美正式退位
(吉隆坡6日訊)印度國大黨主席拿督斯里三美威魯今日正式宣佈,辭去他擔任31年的主席職。

他是在該黨總部一間擠滿人潮的房間內披露,他早前已呈交辭職信,並于今日起生效。

早前承諾明年一月就退位的三美威魯聲稱:“我離開這間房間的那一刻,就不再是(印度國大黨)主席。”

隨著74歲的三美呈辭,由其欽點的人選,即署理主席拿督巴拉尼威將接棒領導印度國大黨,以便在來屆大選,重新贏得印度社會的支持。

巴拉尼威接棒

這位曾經是政壇著名的“和豐之獅”,昨日才代表印度國大黨出席國陣大會。

他今天在國大黨總部主持中央工作委員會會議后正式退位。

該黨中委會委任現年61歲的巴拉尼威接棒,而現任人力資源部長拿督蘇巴馬念則接任署理主席職。

三美自1979年起擔任國大黨主席,迄今已有31年,為史上任期最長的國大黨主席。

擔任多年國會議員和部長的他,直至2008年308大選敗給初試啼聲的社會主義黨候選人再也古馬。

今年5月19日,三美說,他將在2012年5月21日其主席任期屆滿前的8或8個月辭職,並表示他想在退位前完成重整國大黨的工作。

后來他承諾會在明年一月退位,但較后又宣稱會在今天宣佈退位細節。
