Sex video: Anwar lodges police report
KUALA LUMPUR: Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim lodged a police report Tuesday over the release of a sex video implicating a senior opposition politician.
He made the report at the Dang Wangi police station here.
The video was shown Monday to a select group of media representatives at Carcosa Seri Negara.
He arrived at the police station at 10.35am accompanied by his wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and left at about 12.05pm.
Present were PKR leaders R Sivarasa, Tian Chua and M Manickavasagam, PKR vice-president N Surendran and PKR Youth chief Shamsul Iskandar Md Akin.
In the report, copies of which were distributed to the media, Anwar denied that he was the man in the video.
"This is a humiliating, excessive and politically-motivated attack against my character and reputation and my family," he said in the report.
An unidentified group had claimed that it had a black-and-white video clip of a sexual act between an opposition leader and a woman said to be a prostitute at a hotel.
The group, led by a man who had introduced himself only as Datuk T, had said that it would hand over the video clip to the particular opposition leader and his wife in about a week.

Sex video shocker
KUALA LUMPUR: The release of a video recording of a man resembling an opposition party leader having sex with a foreign prostitute has shocked the nation in the latest scandal to rock the country.
Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, speaking at a press conference at 5.30pm – some four hours after news of the recording’s existence first got out – denied that he was the man and dismissed the whole thing as a political ploy.

A mysterious Malay man, who identified himself as “Datuk T”, released the video at Carcosa Seri Negara. Invited newsmen were shown the almost 22-minute video under much secrecy and security.
“Datuk T” gave the politician and his wife a week to quit politics and threatened to make public the video through some NGOs if they did not.
The revelation of the tape also overshadowed other events and even rendered the Parliament debates tame as both sides of the divide digested the latest scandal.

我的第一間房屋計劃 1萬4000單位供選購

我的第一間房屋計劃
1萬4000單位供選購
（吉隆坡10日訊）國家房屋公司董事經理拿督卡馬魯指出，全國共有1萬4000個單位可供月入少于3000令吉者購買，以實現政府推行的“我的第一間房屋”計劃
他說，國家房屋公司通過居者有其屋計劃，在全國推行35項發展計劃，興建房價介于10萬令吉至22萬令吉的房屋，當中12項計劃已完成。
他指出，國家房屋公司與大馬再抵押機構（Cagamas）有限公司合作，以收集購屋者數據及過濾申請者名單后，提呈給國內各金融機構。
他指出，截至目前，共有3000名購屋者有興趣加入該計劃，且該計劃允許年齡介于35歲，在私人機構任職的低收入者申請。
他接受《每日新聞》訪問時指出，“我的第一間房屋”計劃有利于購屋者。
從今年1月開始，剛加入職場和月入少于3000令吉的年輕人購買屋子，以及符合資格的年輕人可向國內超過25家金融機構，包括回教金融機構申請房貸。
有利購屋者
在此計劃下，年輕人可購買10萬令吉至22萬令吉的屋子，並可獲得100%房屋貸款，攤還期為30年。
另外，國家房屋公司主席拿督依德利斯哈崙透露，該公司將在近期設立一站式服務來協助低收入的購屋者與金融機構接洽。
“我們確保新婚夫婦和低收入者可以實現擁有自己第一間房屋的夢想，同時協助政府達成該目標。”
此外，大馬消費人協會也促請政府應管制發展商，以避免他們只發展22萬令吉以上房屋，從而邊緣化那些無能力購買房屋的一群。

PKFZ: Chan Kong Choy charged with cheating
PUTRAJAYA: Former Transport Minister Tan Sri Chan Kong Choy claimed trial Monday to three counts of cheating over the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) scandal.
The court set bail at RM1mil and March 31 for mention of the case.
A large group of journalists and photographers had started gathering at the Palace of Justice here as early as noon.

At about 2pm, Chan arrived at the court complex.
Earlier, Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail as well as deputy public prosecutors Dzulkefli Ahmad and Manoj Kurup, who are also involved in the PKFZ prosecution, also entered the court complex.
Chan is the second VVIP to be charged over the scandal-ridden project.
His predecessor Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik was charged on July 29, 2010 with cheating over the project.
The former MCA president was alleged to have deceived the Cabinet into giving consent over a land purchase in Pulau Indah for the Mega Distribution Hub project in Port Klang, according to the agreed terms between Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd and Port Klang Authority.
Kuala Dimensi was the turnkey contractor for the PKFZ project.
He was accused of hiding facts and committed cheating with the knowledge that it could cause wrongful losses to the Government, which he was bound by a legal contract to protect.
He was accused of committing the offence at the Prime Minister's office here between Sept 25 and Nov 6, 2002.
If convicted, he could be jailed up to seven years or fined or both under Section 418 of the Penal Code.
He also faces an alternative charge for committing a similar offence at the same place and time, which carries a lesser penalty up to five years, or fined or both under Section 417 of the Penal Code.

Najib announces allocation for development projects
TEMERLOH: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has announced an allocation of almost RM10mil for development projects in Kerdau.
He said RM9.25mil would go towards the upgrading of the Batu Sawar water treatment plant pump and replacement of pipes from Rumpun Makmur to Kampung Kerai.
He said these projects were not meant to fish for votes, but the Government’s responsibility to ensure the people lived comfortably.
On claims by PAS that Barisan campaign tactics prevented it from securing voters’ support, Najib denied this.
“If the support for PAS is declining, it is not our doing. We are not suppressing them, but it is the people who are rejecting them,” he said.
However, Najib, who is Barisan Nasional chairman, reminded coalition members to not take PAS lightly in the coming Kerdau by-election.
“They must be more pro-active and serious in ensuring resounding victories for the Barisan.
“PAS had already organised its roadshows earlier and had issued blogs and SMS campaigns to criticise the Barisan,” he told reporters in Felda Jengka 25 after visiting three of the schemes in Kerdau.
Earlier in Jengka 23, Najib said Government efforts to bring development to the settlers were based on the Islamic principles.
He added that being poor was not the image of Islam championed by the Government.
“We want an image that is strong and impressive in the eyes of the world,” Najib said.
Meanwhile, Barisan candidate Syed Ibrahim Syed Ahmad is upbeat over the people’s response towards him.
He said that the people in Jengka 22, 23 and 25 and residents from Bandar Kerdau Lama had accorded him a warm welcome during his visits there.
“Whatever their race, they can accept me,” he said in an interview. “The Chinese see that I’m prepared to give my full commitment to serve them.”

林瑞源‧聽證會的疑點
林瑞源‧聽證會的疑點
2011-02-24 10:28
“趙明福墜樓案”皇家委員會聽證會揭露驗屍庭之前沒有揭發的案情要點，這個進展令人欣慰，但聽證會也同時揭發警方查案不夠專業的問題。
皇委會主席馮正仁就表示不解，為何警方鑑證隊在案發3天後重回現場，沒有更認真的展開第二次調查工作？
案發3天後才重返現場，證據可能受到破壞；既然安排第二支隊伍展開第二次的調查，為何沒有採集指紋，也沒有採集在窗框的鞋印樣本供化驗和比對（這裡是引述馮正仁的質疑）？以致採證出現了矛盾。
警方兩名證人在聽證會上就各有說詞，第六證人瑪茲里說，他在趙明福墜樓當天前往案發現場采證時，沒有在窗口發現鞋印。不過，案發3天後前往現場采證的沙魯奧曼卻表示，他使用紫光燈後發現一個長達9吋的鞋印。
既然調查結果出現兩個版本，他們的上司是不是應該先查證到底誰的發現才是對的？而不是等到皇委會傳召才暴露內部的不協調。
如果發現9吋的鞋印，是不是應該抽絲剝繭，調查反貪會官員和相關人士的皮鞋尺寸，確定是否有人的鞋印是與其相符的？
聽證會另一個“驚人發現”是趙明福在2009年7月16日墜樓身亡後，其手機曾在隔日遭人開啟，並讀取手機內的兩封短訊。
馮正仁對於武吉阿曼警察總部電腦犯罪科分析員莫哈末再迪的這項供詞感到驚訝，還多次向負責引導證人供證的事務官確認，這項新發現是否曾在驗屍庭上提及。
“沒有人提及這個問題嗎？就連查案官也沒有提出疑問嗎？”
這是馮正仁提出的問題，也是民眾心中的疑問。為何手機短訊被人讀取，當局在事後沒有追查是誰讀取了短訊？能夠接觸趙明福手機的人士不多，追查下去應該不會有多大的困難。
第六證人在聽證會也揭露，警方沒有在14樓窗戶，找到趙明福爬出躍下的痕跡。為何之前沒有聽說過這樣的證詞？
太多的疑問及查案工作的不完善，促使皇委會要委任“獨立調查員”，協助皇委會調查趙明福的死因；大馬律師公會也已建議委任香港警方來馬擔任“獨立調查員”。
如果獨立調查員有足夠的權力，就可以根據上述疑點進行深入的調查，包括尋求手機專家的協助，獲取手機內已被刪除的短訊或通話記錄。
從另一個角度來看，委任獨立調查員對警察部隊是否是一個打擊？
“前事不忘，後事之師”，希望警方從趙明福案件中吸取教訓，提昇專業能力，從而維持警隊的公信力。
