Antara yang paling tinggi keuntungannya ialah Lebuhraya Metramac yang mencatat keuntungan 877% daripada kos asal pembinaan yang hanya berjumlah RM45 juta.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tambah mengejutkan ialah kekayaan yang dikumpul melalui projek Lebuhraya Utara Selatan (PLUS) yang mengaut keuntungan 308% sebanyak RM 18 bilion, setelah ditolak kos pembinaannya sebanyak RM 5 bilion; dengan tempoh konsesi selama 50 tahun sehingga tahun 2038.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Begitu juga dengan projek lebuh raya KL – Karak yang untung hampir RM1 bilion (202%), diikuti Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong (LDP) dengan keuntungan RM1.6 bilion (149%) berbanding kos pembinaan sekitar RM1 bilion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Anak, cucu, cicit kita pun akan terus bayar tol,” ujar Guan Eng yang juga Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Katanya tol yang membebankan rakyat tetapi memperkayakan kroni ini mesti dihapuskan, merujuk kepada Lebuhraya Metramac, Lebuhraya Utara Selatan, Lebuhraya KL – Karak, Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong, Lebuhraya Cheras Kajang dan Jambatan Pulau Pinang.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Guan Eng turut mengajak Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop untuk berdebat secara terbuka memandangkan menteri tersebut telah membuat kenyataan bahawa penghapusan tol yang dijanjikan Pakatan Rakyat adalah tidak masuk akal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Mengapa kita tak boleh hapuskan tol bila PLUS untung 308%? Mari bahas mengikut isu dan fakta, bukan dengan emosi dan sentiment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Dia seorang menteri, saya seorang Ketua Menteri, kami setara. Mari kita berdebat demi kepentingan rakyat,” tegasnya. – Roketkini.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://roketkini.com/2012/01/19/pengendali-tol-lebuh-raya-untung-maha-firaun/"&gt;http://roketkini.com/2012/01/19/pengendali-tol-lebuh-raya-untung-maha-firaun/&lt;/a&gt;

Bukan sekadar di medium&lt;em&gt; Twitter&lt;/em&gt; atau &lt;em&gt;Facebook&lt;/em&gt;.  Tidak lama kemudian, saya mula termenung; apa harus saya tulis?  Saya pernah terbaca pesanan seorang penggiat sastera yang mengatakan "pertama, kita harus tulis apa yang orang mahu, kemudian barulah kita tulis apa yang kita mahu,".  Saya cuba untuk menuruti pesanan beliau.  Puas saya fikirkan, akhirnya saya buat keputusan.  Reaksi kepada soalan-soalan yang sering diajukan kepada saya, saya fikir, ramai yang ingin tahu dan baca; mengapa saya pilih jalan raya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img hspace="8" align="left" vspace="8" alt="" src="http://merdekareview.com/image_files/news/1998_1999_reformasi_1.jpg" style="border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; " /&gt;Tahun 1997 dan 1998 tentu sekali tahun penting dalam lipatan sejarah Negara kita kerana pada tahun itulah kita menyaksikan mobilisasi manusia yang disifatkan paling besar pernah berlaku dalam sejarah moden tanah air.  Dari situ saya mengenali jalan raya sebagai medium sebenar menyampaikan suara dan isi hati rakyat yang setiap satunya mungkin tidak pernah pun merasai sejuk hawa dingin bangunan Parlimen mahupun Putrajaya.  Saya masih ingat, ayah saya juga antara demonstran tegar ketika itu.  Setiap pagi Sabtu beliau pasti akan turun ke kota.  Dengan hanya berkemeja-t dan berseluar &lt;em&gt;jeans&lt;/em&gt;, dengan motosikal buruknya beliau akan ke sana.  Pernah saya mohon untuk bersama, tapi dihalang beliau.  Katanya bahaya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lebih kurang sepuluh tahun kemudian, saya mula kenal jalan raya.  Bermula dengan demonstrasi menuntut hak air rakyat Selangor, segala persoalan mengapa ayah saya turun ke tengah kota hampir setiap minggu sepuluh tahun lalu terjawab.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img hspace="8" height="234" align="right" width="350" vspace="8" alt="" src="http://merdekareview.com/image_files/news/data_file_709_bersih_05.jpg" style="border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; " /&gt;Di tengah-tengah keringat ribuan manusia, saya seorang diri asalnya.  Saya tidak kenal langsung siapa yang berada di situ.  Usai demonstrasi tersebutlah baru saya kenal beberapa rakan baru yang kini bersama dalam satu barisan bernama &lt;b&gt;Solidariti Mahasiswa Malaysia. &lt;/b&gt; Saya masih ingat, ketika itu, berdepan dengan trak FRU, sebagai "&lt;em&gt;first timer&lt;/em&gt;", logiknya pasti saya memilih barisan paling ke belakang sekali.  Namun entah dari mana saya dapat keberanian untuk menjadi benteng hadapan.  Sekali lagi diulangi, saya hadir seorang diri tanpa rakan yang dikenali.  Namun aneh, saya tidak pula rasa keseorangan.  Dengan bergandingan bahu bersama beberapa anak muda mahasiswa yang lain, kami berdepan dengan tembakan &lt;i&gt;water-cannon.&lt;/i&gt;  Kami tidak berganjak dari tempat kami.  Sehingga akhirnya diserang oleh anggota keselamatan barulah kami mula mangambil langkah berundur.  Itu antara kenangan yang masih saya simpan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sejak dari itu, saya sering kemaskini diri saya dengan berita-berita mengenai himpunan dan protes jalanan.  Protes jalanan bagi saya sudah menjadi pentas mulia, dan juga cara yang mulia untuk memurnikan jalan raya.  Akhirnya, jalan raya "disalahgunakan" dengan sebab yang baik, berbanding "disalahguna" dengan tujuan lumba haram, meragut, merompak dan sebagainya.  Saya tidak faham dengan orang yang menentang orang yang memartabatkan jalan raya sebagai wadah ekspresi suara sebenar rakyat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img hspace="8" height="300" align="left" width="225" vspace="8" alt="" src="http://merdekareview.com/image_files/news/20111228_occupy_merdeka2.jpg" style="border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; " /&gt;Maka kita datang ke persoalan sebenar; mengapa jalan raya?  Tenang rakan-rakan.  Jika dikupas satu persatu risalah sejarah, kita akan akhirnya bertemu dengan catatan-catatan mengenai kuasa jalan raya.  Dari kurun ke 16 hingga ke &lt;em&gt;Occupy&lt;/em&gt;, kita faham bahawa jalan raya telah banyak berjasa kepada rakyat berbanding parlimen!  Tidak hairanlah Guy Fawkes suatu masa dahulu pernah ingin meletupkan bangunan Parlimen!  Saya sering tekankan kepada rakan-rakan; parlimen hanya untuk 222 orang, sedangkan kita ada jutaan suara yang mahu didengari.  Maka jalan raya adalah ruangnya.  Ia terbuka, luas, dan pasti mendapat perhatian!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kempen BEBAS yang menuntut kebebasan akademik misalnya, sering dirujuk sebagai anarki jalan raya yang tidak bertamadun dan hanya untuk membuat kacau.  Di sini kita lihat, dan dibuktikan; bahawa hanya bila kempen ini digerakkan di jalan raya baru masyarakat dan pak-pak menteri mahu mengambil tahu tentang kempen ini.  Mereka ini pasti tidak tahu bahawa sepanjang setahun kempen BEBAS digerakkan sejak awal 2011, sudah belasan gerak kerja dijalankan; dari siri debat, forum, wacana, pidato awam, termasuklah sidang-sidang video dan proses surat-menyurat.  Siapa yang mahu dengar?  Tiada siapa pun.  Walau antara yang pernah dijemput hadir ke program kami itu termasuk nama-nama besar seperti Anwar Ibrahim, Saifuddin Abdullah, Hisham Rais, Fahmi Reza, dan Aziz Bari, ia tidak mampu mencuri perhatian orang ramai.  Realitinya, masyarakat kita adalah masyarakat yang paginya dihidang dengan akhbar tabloid.  Kisah-kisah sensasi sahaja yang mampu mencuri tumpuan masyarakat.  Dan protes jalanan adalah salah satu dari sensasi yang gemar dibincangkan di kedai kopi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img hspace="8" height="234" align="right" width="350" vspace="8" alt="" src="http://merdekareview.com/image_files/news/20110709_bersih_01.jpg" style="border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; " /&gt;Saya menemui jawapan terhadap mengapa harus turun ke jalan raya apabila saya sendiri turun ke jalan raya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Andai kata tiada protes jalanan, mahukah semua pihak; kerajaan, pembangkang, media, akademia, imam surau, tok siak, sami, paderi, nelayan, petani, buruh, tukang masak, suri rumah, malah pelajar sendiri ambil perhatian terhadap isu-isu yang dibawa?  Tidak kiralah samada BEBAS, BERSIH, GMA, PPSMI, ISA, Anti-Lynas, HIMPUN, &lt;em&gt;OccupyDataran&lt;/em&gt; dan sebagainya.  &lt;b&gt;Demonstrasi, protes, himpunan, dan jalan raya kini terbukti sebagai medium terbaik dalam menyampai suara dan keringat masyarakat. &lt;/b&gt; Pada yang masih memandang jalan raya sebagai cara tidak bertamadun dan merosakkan ketenteraman awam, anda perlu muhasabah diri.  Tanya kepada diri anda, adakah suara anda yang mengutuk demonstran ini didengari?  Jika tidak, apa yang anda mahu buat?  Mungkin anda harus cuba turun ke jalan raya juga.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span &gt;&lt;i&gt;*Adam Adli ialah aktivis mahasiswa, bergiat aktif dalam pertubuhan Legasi Mahasiswa Progresif (LMP) dan Solidariti Mahasiswa Malaysia (SMM).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;  &lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span &gt;Ulasan: Mereka bersusah-payah turun ke jalan raya demi membawa isu kita semua, demi kebaikan rakyat dan negara. Juga demi masa depan generasi cucu cicit kita. Sewajarnya kita pun patut turun juga kerana semuanya adalah aman. Tak perlu bawa sebarang senjata.

Hamba ingin menarik perhatian pihak tuan kepada peristiwa berdarah 1 Januari 2012 ketika penyuraian &lt;b&gt;Himpunan Kebebasan Akademik&lt;/b&gt; di hadapan UPSI yang rata-ratanya disertai mahasiswa dan belia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Di beberapa Negara yang pernah hamba berkelana, polis dianggap sebagai perkakas rejim dan bukan sebagai penjaga keselamatan awam. Polis juga ditakuti dan dibenci bukan diharapkan dan dihormati sebagai penjaga undang-undang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Polis menjadi simbol kezaliman dan bukan panji-panji keamanan. Sehingga ada yang sanggup melabel polis sebagai anjing-anjing suruhan, yang bertindak mengikut arahan tuan tanpa berperikemanusiaan. Hamba pohon PDRM untuk tidak menjadi sedemikian di Tanah Tumpah Darahku, Malaysia tercinta ini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bersempena dengan tahun baru 2012 suka hamba selusuri beberapa peristiwa menarik yang berlaku sepanjang tahun sebelumnya, yakni 2011. Pertama, suka hamba ceritakan tentang Revolusi Tunisia, nyalaan api pengingkaran sivil yang berakar umbi daripada peristiwa seorang beliawan bernama Boazizi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bertitik tolak daripada tindakan kasar polis merampas gerainya, beliau membakar dirinya sehingga tindakan tersebut menjadi inspirasi kebangkitan rakyat menjatuhkan Presiden Zainal Abidin Ali.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kedua, suka hamba kisahkan berkenaan Revolusi Belia Mesir, ketikamana anak-anak muda menggunakan Facebook dan laman interaktif sosial untuk meletupkan public disobedience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kempen kebangkitan ini tidak lain tidak bukan meletup kerana tindakan kasar polis memukul dan membunuh seorang aktivis belia bernama Khaleed Said dan kemunculan Laman Facebook, Youtube “We are all Khaleed Said” yang membela kematiannya. Tuan tahu bukan apa akhirnya berlaku kepada Presiden Husni Mubarak?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ketiga, revolusi dan pergolakan di Yaman yang masih berterusan sehingga kini. Paling mengejutkan hamba antara tokoh yang terjulang namanya membakar semangat kebangkitan hanyalah seorang aktivis beliawati bernama Tawakel Karman! Perhatikan juga, semakin keras, ganas dan zalim perkakas kerajaan menentang rakyat, sebegitu keras, ganas dan dahsyat juga tindakbalas yang diterima!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuan perhatikan sendiri bagaimana hakikat yang berlaku di Libya. Bagaimana pula di Syria? Mengapa polis dan angkatan tentera begitu payah sekali menghadapi anak-anak tempatan, rata-ratanya bersenjatakan suara dan kain rentang?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mengambil iktibar daripada peristiwa-peristiwa berkenaan saya mohon dua perkara daripada PDRM. Mohon jangan bertindak keras, ganas dan zalim kepada mahasiswa mahupun belia yang bangkit melaungkan perjuangan. Hamba risau darah muda mereka menggelegak kepanasan untuk bertindak balas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kedua, mohon jangan bertindak keras, ganas dan zalim sehingga muncul Boazizi, Khaleed Said dan Tawakel Karman versi Malaysia. Kecederaan Safwan Anang sudah cukup membakar semangat juang para mahasiswa! Jangan katakana tidak diberi ingat!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yang tulus benar,&lt;br /&gt;Hanglekiu&lt;br /&gt;Sekolah Konsultansi Panglima&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 1em; margin-right: 0px;

His guide for this journey is a man from the past - somebody who, 80 years earlier, crossed all boundaries between countries, cultures and religions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leopold Weiss was born a Jew on the edge of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1900. But his story would unfold far away in the deserts of Arabia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feeling restless and unhappy in Europe, in 1922 Weiss accepted an uncle's invitation to join him in Jerusalem. But what began as a family visit soon turned into a life-changing journey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weiss enjoyed the hospitality of the Arabs he met in the Middle East and was enchanted by their lifestyle. With the passion of an explorer, he began to travel across the region.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;His travels and encounters nurtured in him a sense that Zionism was causing a great injustice to the Palestinian Arabs. In Jerusalem, he got into heated arguments with the leaders of the Zionist movement and began to feel at a greater distance from the religion of his ancestors than ever before.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Islam should be presented without any fanaticism. Without any stress on our having the only possible way and the others are lost. Moderation in all forms is a basic demand of Islam." -  Muhammad Asad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As he discovered the Muslims of the Middle East, Weiss also discovered Islam - studying the Quran and finding not only the answer to the spiritual emptiness he had felt but also an alternative to the materialism of Europe's Roaring Twenties. In Saudi Arabia, Weiss felt truly at home, writing: "I am no longer a stranger."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;In 1926, he converted to Islam and changed his name to &lt;strong&gt;Muhammad Asad&lt;/strong&gt;. Full of enthusiasm, he embarked upon his first pilgrimage to Mecca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Curious to get to know other Muslim communities, in 1932 Asad left Saudi Arabia - travelling to Turkistan, China and Indonesia. In India, he met poet and philosopher Muhammad Iqbal. Iqbal dreamed of creating a separate Islamic state as a solution to the bloodshed between Indian Muslims and Hindus. Iqbal's vision of Pakistan quickly became Asad's own dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asad campaigned for the creation of Pakistan by writing books, giving public lectures and hosting radio programmes. He also drafted the outline for an Islamic constitution in which equal rights for women were secured.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1951, Asad became Pakistan's envoy to the United Nations. But to his dismay he was forced out of the position after just one year. Deeply disappointed, he turned his back on politics, deciding instead to write his autobiography in the hope that it would promote better understanding between Muslims and the West. The Road to Mecca quickly became a bestseller.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;By 1970, Asad had grown increasingly concerned that the Quran was being misinterpreted and misused for political goals. This motivated him to undertake his biggest challenge: a new translation of and commentary on the Quran. He settled in Morocco and estimated that it would take him four years to complete. Seventeen years later it was finished. He dedicated it to "people who think".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Every age requires a new approach to the Quran for the simple reason that the Quran is made for all ages. It is our duty to look for deeper meanings in the Quran in order to increase our knowledge and experience. The Quran wants your intellect to be always active and trying to approach the message of God. God himself dedicated this book to people who think." - Muhammad Asad.&lt;/p&gt;Despite the fact that Asad today has a loyal following among those who share an interest in his writings and an intellectual affiliation with him, his translation was not embraced by all. Rumour has it that there were even book burnings of Asad's Quran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Emotionally and financially exhausted, he withdrew to Europe - settling in Spain in 1987. He planned to revise his translation once more but old age and prolonged illness prevented him from completing it. On February 20, 1992, he died, alone and secluded.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/aljazeeraworld/2011/10/2011102095616528352.html&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23795533-775479561786324498?l=malaysia-baru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/feeds/775479561786324498/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23795533&amp;postID=775479561786324498&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/775479561786324498'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/775479561786324498'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/2011/11/road-to-mecca.html' title='A Road to Mecca'/><author><name>malaysia baru</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23795533.post-2932867468754012049</id><published>2011-11-11T09:34:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-11T09:36:29.642+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Menteri mesti jawab segera penyelewengan NFC</title><content type='html'>Harakahdaily.net&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KUALA LUMPUR, 9 Nov: PKR menasihatkan menteri dan wakil rakyat BN segera menjawab dakwaan mengenai penyelewengan dana rakyat melalui National Feedlot Corporation Sdn Bhd (NFC).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Setiausahanya, Saifuddin Nasution Ismail berkata, selagi mereka mengelak daripada menjawab dakwaan ini, rakyat akan terus mempersoalkan penyelewengan yang terbukti melalui pemindahan dana berjumlah RM83 juta ke syarikat-syarikat milik keluarga Menteri Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga dan Masyarakat, &lt;strong&gt;Datuk Seri Shahrizat Jalil&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selain itu, penyelewengan juga terbukti memalui perbelanjaan luar negara dan keraian melampau sehingga mencecah RM828,000 setahun dan pemberian subsidi sebanyak RM3 juta menggunakan wang rakyat kepada restoran Meatworks milik keluarga Shahrizat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ketiga-tiga perkara ini masih belum dijawab menteri dan wakil BN. Semakin lama mereka mengelak, semakin rakyat yakin bahawa BN cuba melindungi penyelewengan dalam NFC," kata beliau pada sidang media di lobi Parlimen hari ini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mengulas lanjut mengenai NFC, Saifuddin yang juga Ahli Parlimen Machang berkata, tindakan Menteri Pertanian dan Industri Asas Tani, Datuk Noh Omar dan Ahli Parlimen Rembau, Khairy Jamaludin mempertahankan hanya RM181 juta daripada RM250 juta pinjaman disalurkan kepada NFC adalah satu pembohongan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Dalam kes pinjaman RM250 juta yang diambil NFC, PKR telah membuktikan bahawa wang-wang pinjaman sebanyak RM130 juta iaitu bayaran pertama dan RM120 juta iatu bayaran kedua telah masuk ke akaun milik NFC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Bukti jelas menunjukkan keseluruhan RM250 juta disalurkan kepada NFC berdasarkan rekod penyata bank, bukannya diletakkan dalam escrow account seperti yang dinyatakan BN," jelasnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tambahnya, akaun-akaun NFC di Maybank dan Public bank bukan atas nama pihak ketiga seperti konsep berbentuk amanah (escrow account) tapi atas nama NFC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Penjelasan Noh bahawa wang selebihnya masih berada dalam escrow account yang dikawal kementeriannya juga tidak boleh diterima kerana daripada rekod kewangan NFC, pelbagai perbelanjaan melampau dan pindahan wang dibuat sepanjang tahun 2008 dan 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selain itu, Saifuddin turut mempersoal cara perbelanjaan melampau yang dilakukan NFC sehingga aset bersihnya berjumlah RM239 juta pada 31 Disember 2009 jika Noh mendakwa hanya RM181 juta yang disalurkan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ini adalah kepincangan-kepincangan alasan yang diberikan oleh BN setakat ini yang cuba mengaburi mata rakyat," katanya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ulasan: Mana SPRM?

Kita tidak mahu pisang berbuah dua kali.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Kita ingin cadangkan agar pengurusan sistem pembetungan diserahkan kembali kepada pihak Majlis Tempatan masing-masing sepertimana sebelum tahun 1994 sebelum akta Perkhidmatan Pembetungan 1994 di gubal," ujarnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Telah hampir 18 tahun berlalu, tegasnya, didapati konsep penswastaan sistem pembetungan negara yang diserahkan kepada pihak IWK lebih menjurus kepada kegagalan dan pihak kerajaan terpaksa menanggung kerugian setiap tahun dengan pemberian subsidi dan lain-lain bantuan kepada IWK.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Kita melihat fungsi Jabatan Perkhidmatan Pembetungan masih relevan dan penting untuk melaksanakan projek-projek pembetungan negara di seluruh negara dan sepatutnya jabatan ini tidak harus ditutup, sebaliknya perlu diperbesarkan lagi fungsinya dan jabatan itu sendiri .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Kita tidak mahu pihak kerajaan melepas tangan dalam melaksanakan penyediaan prasarana pembetungan negara yang sebenarnya setanding dengan kepentingan menyediakan prasarana air minum," katanya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kerajaan, tegas beliau, telah banyak membantu pihak IWK melalui pemberian suntikan modal dan juga perlantikan sebagai &lt;em&gt;Projek Management Consultant&lt;/em&gt; (PMC) secara lantikan terus untuk projek-projek pembetungan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Menurutnya, sedangkan Kementerian Kewangan telah mengeluarkan pekeliling untuk tidak membenarkan sebarang perlantikan PMC untuk projek-projek kerajaan kerana penggunaan PMC didapati tidak efisien dan menambahkan kos projek.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sedangkan IWK masih diberi peranan tersebut dalam melaksanakan projek-projek kerajaan dan mendapat bayaran yang lumayan," katanya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beliau hairan, kenapa IWK diberi keistimewaan seperti itu, sedangkan pihak Kementerian Kewangan sendiri telah menegaskan ketidakperluan perlantikan PMC dalam projek-projek kerajaan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Adakah ini satu proses penyaluran dana kepada pihak IWK secara tidak langsung? Malah IWK juga telah mengutip bil pembetungan di Jelutong secara percuma kerana kos penyelenggaraan Loji Jelutong dan lain-lain kos berkaitan loji itu masih ditanggung oleh pihak kontraktor yang telah menyiapkan loji tersebut beberapa tahun yang lalu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ini bermakna pihak IWK dapat mengutip bil dari pengguna tanpa perlu mengeluarkan belanja kos untuk loji rawatan kumbahan Jelutong. Ini adalah satu perniagaan yang paling menguntungkan di dunia ini iaitu tanpa mengeluarkan modal masih dapat pendapatan," tambahnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sehingga ke tahap ini, katanya, kerajaan cuba membantu pihak IWK tetapi masih tetap mengalami kerugian demi kerugian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Kita juga dimaklumkan pihak IWK telah diberi pelbagai bantuan daripada pihak kerajaan melalui pelbagai sumber, namun masih tetap gagal dan rugi," ujarnya. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beliau juga hairan bagaimana IWK yang kerugian saban tahun mampu memberikan bonus kepada kakitangan-kakitangannya yang mencecah ribuan orang, di samping cadangan pihak pengurusan IWK untuk menggantikan semua kereta-kereta Perdana untuk pihak pengurusan IWK kepada kereta-kereta import Volkswagen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beliau turut bertanya menteri terbabit mengenai Majlis Perjanjian Kontrak bagi pembinaan Loji Rawatan Kumbahan Pantai 2 Wilayah Persekutuan yang diadakan pada 3 November lalu di Pusat Komuniti Bukit Bandaraya, Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur, antara pihak kerajaan Malaysia dan Syarikat Beijing Enterprise Water Group Limited (BEWG) dari China.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Projek itu bernilai RM1 bilion dan akan dibiayai kementerian terbabit.

In an interview with Time magazine the Turkish leader said that had prospective UN sanctions been imposed on Israel "the Palestine-Israel conflict would have been resolved a long time ago."   &lt;br /&gt;Appearing at the UN General Assembly Erdogan claimed that the &lt;strong&gt;US approach towards the Middle East peace process had failed&lt;/strong&gt;. Asked what he would have done differently, Erdogan said: "Do we really want to resolve this issue or not? Unfortunately, I do not even see traces of this within the Quartet. Because &lt;strong&gt;if the Quartet was so willing to resolve this issue, they would have imposed certain issues on Israel today.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Until today, the UN Security Council has issued more than &lt;strong&gt;89 &lt;/strong&gt;resolutions on prospective sanctions related to Israel, but they've never been executed. And furthermore,&lt;strong&gt; there were about &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;200 &lt;/span&gt;resolutions issued by the General Assembly and neither have those been complied with&lt;/strong&gt;." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He further added: "One might wonder why no sanctions have been imposed on Israel. When it's Iran in question, you impose sanctions. Similarly with Sudan. What happens with Israel then?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Erdogan also criticized the make-up of the Security Council: "What's the deal with these permanent seat holding members in the Security Council? They should be eliminated. &lt;strong&gt;The entire world is literally a slave to the decisions of these five permanent seat holders&lt;/strong&gt;." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the issue of the diplomatic crisis with Israel, Erdogan blamed Israel for "victimizing the positive relations of two countries with (its 2010 raid) on the Mavi Marmara." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Turkish premier also stressed relations between Ankara and Jerusalem will never become normalized until Israel apologizes for the deaths of nine Turkish citizens, pays compensation to the families of the victims and lifts the Gaza blockade. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He claimed the flotillas were carrying nothing but humanitarian aid and mentioned that one of the casualties was an American citizen of Turkish decent. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"And right now the Israeli Prime Minister still alleges that the flotillas were actually loaded with weapons. Had they possessed the weapons that were alleged, &lt;strong&gt;why didn't they fire back?&lt;/strong&gt; There are reports issued by both the UN Security Council and UN agencies in Geneva about this incident and you never see the slightest trace that the flotillas were carrying guns. The Israeli government is not being honest at all. "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Addressing the Palestinian bid for statehood, Erdogan said that first and foremost the Security Council must accept the proposal. He added: "Israel first seems to have accepted going back to the borders of 1967, but somehow seemed to have got distanced from this ideal. They need to get closer back to it. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"Through TIME, I'd like to make a call out to humanity: (the Palestinians) are there to exist. They are not there to be condemned to struggle in an open-air penitentiary. &lt;strong&gt;Israel's cruelty in that regard cannot be continued any longer&lt;/strong&gt;.

Resolutions Israel Ignores (Now 89)</title><content type='html'>By Donald Neff, March 1993, Page 40 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a disturbing lack of historical perspective to the Clinton administration's efforts during its first days in office to shield Israel from United Nations sanctions. Like former Secretary of State James Baker's repeated assertion that both sides must want peace for it to occur, the Clinton-Rabin agreement ignores the sorry record of the 26 years since Israel's conquest of the West Bank, Gaza, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights. During that period Israel has unequivocally demonstrated that it does not want peace in exchange for territory. Its insistence on expelling Palestinians who oppose the occupation and on establishing Jewish settlements in the occupied territories are only the latest manifestations of its desire to retain them. Equally important in revealing its true policy is Israel's successful record of resisting American and other peace initiatives over the years. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These include defeating such imaginative initiatives and tireless mediators as the U.N.'s Gunnar Jarring in the late 1960s, Secretary of State William Rogers' major peace proposals of 1969, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's shuttle diplomacy of the mid-1970s, the lackadaisical journeys of Secretary of State George Shultz in the 1980s, and the intense Bush and Baker efforts of 1991 and 1992. The one success was Jimmy Carter's Camp David process. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty was unique. It came at the expense of the Palestinians, which was by Israeli design, and in exchange for Sinai, to which Israel never laid claim. Moreover, Israel received in return for signing the peace treaty with Egypt commitments from the U. S. that have now reached a level of economic and military aid unsurpassed in our history. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The result is that Israel has managed to retain what it has wanted most: East Jerusalem and the West Bank. After so many diplomatic initiatives, it seems fair to conclude Israel does not want peace on any terms but its own. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An end to expulsions is only the latest demand of the international community on Israel, whose defiance goes back to its very beginnings. There remain on the books of the United Nations a collection of resolutions criticizing Israel unmatched by the record of any other nation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These resolutions, which now number &lt;strong&gt;66&lt;/strong&gt;, contain the international community's list of indictments against the Jewish state. The basic issues were all spelled out even before the 1967 Security Council resolution calling for a land-for-peace settlement. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Core Issues and Major Themes&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The core issues, as contained in resolutions passed before 1967, remain the Palestinian refugee problem, the status of Jerusalem, and the location of Israel's boundaries. These are the basic issues. They spring from 1948, not 1967. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The early U.N. resolutions call for Israel to repatriate or compensate the original 750,000 refugees of 1948-9 and to renounce Jerusalem as its capital and regard it as a corpus separatum, an international city dominated by neither Arab nor Israeli. (The U. S. position on Jerusalem is slightly different and, not surprisingly, closer to Israel's. It says Jerusalem should not be a divided city and its final status should be decided by the parties.) Finally, the original U.N. partition of Palestine awarded Israel an area only about three-quarters of its current official size. Israel's increase was gained at the expense of the Palestinians in the earlier conquests of 1948. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other unreconciled issues from this earlier period include such sticky situations as a demilitarized zone that Israel had shared with Syria near the Sea of Galilee. Israel forcefully and unlawfully occupied this zone in the 1950s and 1960s, in defiance of its 1949 armistice with Syria. This deception predates Syria's complaints about Israel's occupation of the Golan Heights in 1967. The zone is now integrated into Israel's economy and infrastructure. But Syria retains a legitimate claim to it as disputed territory to be decided only after negotiations. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aside from the core issues—refugees, Jerusalem, borders—the major themes reflected in the U.N. resolutions against Israel over the years are its unlawful attacks on its neighbors; its violations of the human rights of the Palestinians, including deportations, demolitions of homes and other collective punishments; its confiscation of Palestinian land; its establishment of illegal settlements; and its refusal to abide by the U.N. Charter and the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A History of U.S. Vetoes &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is another major area, largely ignored, that at some point must be faced. It involves the serious distortion of the official Security Council record by the profligate use by the United States of its veto power. In 29 separate cases between 1972 and 1991, the United States has vetoed resolutions critical of Israel. Except for the U.S. veto, these resolutions would have passed and the total number of resolutions against Israel would now equal 95 instead of 66. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These resolutions would have broadened the record by affirming the right of Palestinian self-determination, by calling on Israel to abandon its repressive measures against the Palestinian intifada, by sending U.N. Observers into the occupied territories to monitor Israel's behavior and, most serious, by imposing sanctions against Israel if it did not abide by the Council's resolutions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Such a list of resolutions passed and resolutions vetoed is unparalleled in United Nations history. The list in itself forms a stunning indictment of Israel's unlawful and uncivilized actions over a period of 45 years and of America's complicity in them.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Yet references to this damning record are totally absent from the vocabularies of American leaders as they go about saying they are seeking peace. If they are really serious about peace, then at some point they must act with the same firmness they displayed toward Iraq's occupation of Kuwait. Had they approached Iraq with the same timorous tactics they are applying to Israel, Iraqi soldiers still would be in Kuwait. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The point is that aggressors have always answered the question of whether they want peace by their actions. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;If the United States really wants peace in the Middle East, it must insist that Israel abide by the judgment of the world community as expressed in resolutions by the United Nations. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The U.S. can do this at any time simply by forsaking the use of the veto and joining the world consensus. Anything less makes a sham of the peace process, and is demeaning to leaders of a democratic country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.wrmea.com/backissues/0393/9303040.htm&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23795533-5758877658132954978?l=malaysia-baru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/feeds/5758877658132954978/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23795533&amp;postID=5758877658132954978&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/5758877658132954978'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/5758877658132954978'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/2011/11/lessons-to-be-learned-from-66-un.html' title='Lessons to be Learned From 66 U.N.

They strap olive saplings and water bottles to the back of a donkey, silent under its burden. Former police officers from Sweden, German punks, Australian conservationists, leftist activists from the US, South African priests, and a Celtic fringe of Welsh students join Israeli anarchists and Palestinian pacifists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are the guerilla gardeners of the occupied West Bank.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it's a growing movement, with more than 120 international volunteers arriving in Bethlehem governorate alone to assist with this year's harvest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Guerilla gardening" has its roots among the Levellers and the Diggers of mid-17th Century England, but today has branches spanning the globe. From Toronto to Moscow, cabals of city-dwelling horticulturalists have sprung up in most population centres with any form of urban anarchist presence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seeking to "reclaim public space from its corporate governors", these green-fingered activists plant flowers, sometimes vegetables, in waste ground under overpasses, at the side of roads and in the centres of cities where concrete has long since replaced living, breathing flora and fauna.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But in the occupied Palestinian territories, it is a slightly different story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here, it isn't merely a symbolic attempt to reclaim pockets of neglected or misused terrain. Here, farmers and their band of globalist shovel-toting supporters are locked into what they see as a life-or-death struggle to resist an illegal land grab.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More than half a million olive trees have been uprooted or destroyed by Israeli civil and military forces in the past 10 years, according to the Palestinian ministry of agriculture, while the fates of hundreds of farming communities are tied to the humble plant - a tree renowned for its symbolism since before the time of Noah. The Palestinians' largely agricultural economy has traditionally been dependent on its harvest - olive oil, soap, lamp fuel - let alone the fruit itself - as well as the olive wood Nativity carvings sold to tourists in Bethlehem's old city - they have all been central to the Palestinian economy for hundreds of years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the olive tree has now found itself pitted in a battle for survival.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Farmers losing their grove&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the more-than 120 illegal Israeli settlements expand further into occupied Palestinian territory, it is Palestine's olive farmers who often find themselves facing violence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When I saw them cutting down the trees I felt as if my heart was being uprooted from between my lungs," said Izzat Abu Latifa, a farmer from Jab'a, near Bethlehem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 7 am on Tuesday, February 22, Abu Latifa got a phone call to tell him that Israeli troops were on his family's farmland - adjacent to route 367, a road between illegal Israeli settlements - and were taking chainsaws to the trees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When he arrived at the field that his family had cultivated for the past 40 years, he said he found soldiers had cut down 150 trees and were poisoning the roots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I planted every year as many trees as I could manage and now they come to destroy what I have been working on," he said. "Olive trees are holy; what faith, what religion allows this to happen? How does any human being have the heart to kill trees like this?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The commanding officer told Abu Latifa his trees had been planted on Israeli state land, despite the farmer producing the legal title deeds document.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But just a few months later, under the noses of the military - and as the watchtowers loom above - the guerilla gardeners (and their donkeys) get to work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We've planted 8,600 trees this season, a total of 69,300 since this programme began in 2001," said Baha Hilo, coordinator of the Olive Tree Campaign at the Joint Advocacy Initiative of the East Jerusalem YMCA and the YWCA of Palestine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ottoman rule&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a law dating from the Ottoman empire in 1853, says Hilo, which states that any land left uncultivated for three years reverts to state ownership. "This law was introduced to boost tax revenues - because the Ottomans wanted food producers to produce," Hilo told Al Jazeera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"But Israel applies the same law and blames the Ottomans in order to confiscate land within the occupied West Bank - except that the land becomes 'property' of the state of Israel, not the Ottoman empire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Our campaign is to help Palestinian farmers maintain ownership of their property - and once olive trees are planted, it is evidence that the land is being cultivated."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The joint YMCA-YWCA project is primarily an advocacy campaign, says Hilo. "We take the stories from the ground to the sponsors of the trees," he says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When a field is taken by Israel, it's no longer just the farmer who it is being taken from, but from all the international sponsors all over the world."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Abu Latifa's land, Hilo's team of volunteers get to digging and planting.&lt;br /&gt;"The Israelis had destroyed 100 trees. We came back with 300"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Baha Hilo, Olive Tree campaign coordinator&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In another example, there is Ahmed Barguth from Al Walaja [another village on the outskirts of Bethlehem]. In June last year, the Israeli military put his family under house arrest, and then destroyed his farmland to build a road. We called up the sponsors of the trees, and a few months later, we went in with about 50 people. The Israelis had destroyed 100 trees. We came back with 300.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We got all the olive trees and we all lined up in an assembly line and we each took a pickaxe and got to work. The army kept their distance that day and there was no confrontation. We had people from Norway, Japan, the UK, Finland, the Netherlands and Italy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among the group were "church members, retired doctors, youth workers, teachers, retired military men", aged between 18 and 84 years old. "Men and women, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, atheist, communist - you name it," said Hilo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 'blessed' tree&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The tree is deemed holy, blessed by Allah, according to the Quran, and can live to be hundreds of years old. In Jerusalem's Garden of Gethsemane, it is claimed the olive trees are the very same plants that Jesus and his followers prayed under.&lt;br /&gt;"We're not a militia, our weapons are our pickaxes and shovels, our hands and our olive trees."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When you're driving on brand new roads, and you come across a 500-year-old olive tree on a brand new road junction - you have to ask yourself: 'Where did that tree come from? Has it grown there for hundreds of years, and this road just happen to come across it?' The answer is: 'No, of course not. This is a tree which has been taken from somewhere else - from someone else - and probably from someone whose family has been tending to these trees for generations,'" says Hilo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Al Jazeera contacted the Israeli government for comment, spokesperson Mark Regev denied knowledge of the use of the Ottoman law, and the Palestinian horticultural resistance campaign, saying: "I'm not aware of it." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the 2009 paper Uprooting identities: The regulation of olive trees in the occupied West Bank published in the Political and Legal Anthropology Review, Prof Irus Braverman uncovered some strong opinions on the subject:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Like children, their trees look so naive, as if they can’t harm anyone. But like [their] children, several years later they turn into a ticking bomb," Chief Inspector Kishik, of Israel’s Civil Administration, told her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Israeli quest to "make the desert bloom" is older than the state of Israel itself. Since the 1920s, members of the pre-Israel Zionist movement attempted to massively boost food production, to prove to the British administrators of its "Palestine mandate" that the country could provide homes to more Jewish immigrants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indeed, since 1901, the Jewish National Fund has planted more than 240 million trees, mostly pine, across Israel - notably in the occupied Golan Heights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Covering up history&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the planting of European pine trees was also intended, after 1948, to cover the remains of decimated Arab villages, says Alice Gray, professor of environmental studies at Al-Quds Bard Honors College.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"While Israel is widely credited... with having 'miraculously' greened the desert, less widely acknowledged is the fact that they destroyed the lower Jordan river system, the Dead Sea and the Coastal Aquifer while they were doing it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Professor Alice Gray&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The JNF's planting campaign ensured that farmers would be unable to return to their land, as pines alter the chemistry of the soil - preventing the development of agricultural crops," says Prof Gray.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This rezoning of the land to state-owned plantation "de-legitimises" other forms of land use, such as grazing by Bedouin herds or low-tech faming by fellahin [peasants], she told Al Jazeera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"While Israel is widely credited with being at the cutting edge of thrifty water use techniques, such as drip irrigation and wastewater treatment and reuse, and with having 'miraculously' greened the desert, less widely acknowledged is the fact that they destroyed the lower Jordan river system, the Dead Sea and the Coastal Aquifer while they were doing it," said Gray.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The latest development in this struggle of eco-warfare is the planting of a 12 km strip of eucalyptus trees, at a cost estimated at 7 million shekels ($2m), along the edge of the Gaza Strip. The planting has already begun, according to the Israeli military.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We are planting trees that will grow and provide cover," Lieutenant Cololonel Ilan Dayan said. "A person firing an anti-tank missile needs a line of sight to the target. If he doesn't have one, he has a serious problem."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jewish National Fund chairman Efi Stenzler added: "We believe that the same JNF trees that have protected Golan Heights residents from the Syrians will now protect the residents of the south."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Major General Tal Russo, recently appointed commander of Israel's Southern Command, said the project reminded him of his upbringing on a kibbutz. "For me this is the completion of a cycle," he said. "I was born into the strategic security forestation in the Hula Valley, which was then used to defend from Syrian shelling. This was the first project placed on my desk as I came into this position. The project ... expresses the brave connection to the communities surrounding Gaza, and allows us to upgrade our mission of defending the southern communities with environmental benefits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Despite Hamas' recent efforts to challenge us, we stand strong. We are training, preparing and equipping ourselves to defend the residents of southern Israel. We will not accept the threat to [our] communities and will continue operating to preserve the peace in the south."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The risks of introducing non-native species&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But planting the non-native eucalyptus, which agriculturalists note "has a reputation for developing extensive root structures", may pose other risks, such as lowering the water table in an already arid zone. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One other problem with planting eucalyptus trees close to communities they are intended to protect is the reported increased danger from fire. It is not necessarily that the trees themselves are explosive, per se. But, on a hot day, the vapour of the trees' oily sap forms a highly flammable cloud. In addition, the leaf and branch litter in eucalyptus forests is drier than other trees' litter due to the nature of the trees' canopy preventing sunlight aiding decomposition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following the Sydney bushfires of January 1994, Reuters reported: "The explosive nature of the eucalyptus and the abundance of fuel produces a very intense fire that 'crowns' - leaps from tree top to tree top ... The fierce blazes have been stoked by the highly volatile oils of the eucalyptus tree, which vaporise under intense radiative heat as the fire approaches and explode, with flames sometimes towering as high as 230 feet [70m]." [Michael Perry, "Sydney Bushfires Fuelled By Exploding Eucalyptus," Reuters World Service, January 10, 1994]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is no problem for the trees, it turns out. Eucalyptus trees are noted for their ability to withstand fire. Indeed, a strong fire every five years or so is understood to aid the development of a eucalyptus forest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The same, however, cannot be said for those who have their homes near to such forests. When fire tore through the Berkeley-Oakland Hills eucalyptus groves in 1991, 24 people were killed as 3,000 homes were destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;"The explosive nature of the eucalyptus and the abundance of fuel produces a very intense fire."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reuters report on the 1994 Sydney bushfires&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back in Palestine, the guerilla gardeners aren't the only grassroots green group poised to blossom in the occupied territories' parched valleys. In addition to her classroom teaching, Professor Alice Gray also runs Bustan Qaraaqa, a permaculture-oriented agriculture project which teaches Palestinian and international volunteers innovative water management and farming techniques.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I hope that there is a general increase in the consciousness of the connection between politics and the environment - and a realisation that we are not passive actors in all of this, that everyone has the power to take control to some extent over their relationship with the environment and start trying to interact with it constructively. Of course, we think that permaculture provides a tool-set for doing this," says Prof Gray.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is also about not accepting the power-structures prescribed by the oppressors and trying to creatively circumvent them somehow - which works right up until the point that they bring the bulldozers and the big guns. This is why it is not really enough to 'go home and garden' - we also need the political and legal activism that will try to contain the most destructive elements of the occupation. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"All we are doing here is trying to ensure that there is a country left that is worth arguing over when all is said and done ...  Whenever the hell that is."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;You can follow James Brownsell on Twitter: @JamesBrownsell&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23795533-359275670995728827?l=malaysia-baru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/feeds/359275670995728827/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23795533&amp;postID=359275670995728827&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/359275670995728827'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/359275670995728827'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/2011/11/resistance-is-fertile-palestines-eco.html' title='Resistance is fertile: Palestine&apos;s eco-war'/><author><name>malaysia baru</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23795533.post-4042049357215313336</id><published>2011-11-04T16:02:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-04T16:04:48.156+08:00</updated><title type='text'>A Canadian boat to Gaza</title><content type='html'>Al Jazeera speaks to linguistics professor David Heap about the latest attempt by activists to enter Gaza Strip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two boats carrying 24 peace activists and journalists have set sail towards the territorial waters of the Gaza Strip in the latest attempt to break the Israeli siege on the Palestinian enclave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For months the activists have been preparing for the flotilla while maintaining a total media blackout in a bid not to draw attention from their host nation, Turkey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al Jazeera's David Poort spoke to Canadian linguistics professor David Heap, who is a member of the steering committee on board the Tahrir, or Canadian boat to Gaza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is the scale of this new attempt to break the siege on Gaza?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here on the Tahrir we have 12 people, both activists and journalists. The activists are from Canada, Australia, Germany and the USA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The journalists are from a number of different countries, representing Al Jazeera, Press TV, Democracy Now and other - mostly online - publications.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a second boat, the Irish boat Saoirse, with a slightly smaller group of passengers. We have left the port of Fethiye in southwest Turkey and are now in international waters. The Irish ship joined us from the same area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is this the same group of people who were behind the flotilla that was blocked by Greece this summer?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Roughly, yes. The Tahrir was part of the Freedom Flotilla in June-July that tried to leave from Athens. Much of our delegation consists of the same people. Some of the people could not come, but it is the same organisation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why did you choose Turkey for the launch of this new attempt?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Turkish government has been creating more distance from Israel diplomatically and we know there is support from Turkish society for what we are doing. And our judgment was that the Turkish state would not interfere with us, if we didn't make too much of a public issue of our plan to depart from there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;That implies that the Turks knew about this flotilla ...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that Turkey, like any other country, has ways of finding out what people are doing within their borders. But given that our application for departure didn't declare our destination as Gaza - our stated destination was a port in northern Cyprus, which is not a controversial departure - they do not have to take official notice of what we are doing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So Turkey can pretend it didn't know about this flotilla?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Well, we didn't want to put Turkey in a spot. States do what states have to do. The Turkish government will take its own position with respect to Gaza, with respect to Israel and with respect to the occupation of Palestine. We know that it is evolving in an interesting direction, but if we declared our destination as Gaza; that forces them to take a position with respect to us trying to challenge the blockade by breaking it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We've reached international waters. What is next?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have some distance to cover between where we are now and Palestinian territorial waters of Gaza - our destination. Obviously we are going to avoid going through Israeli territorial waters. Our plan is to go directly from international waters into the territorial waters of Gaza - within a couple of days. We're not, at this point, going to state exactly when. We will choose our moment to what is favourable to what we are trying to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What would you say to sceptics who might say, "Another flotilla? I’m tired of it!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;I would say that the Palestinians of Gaza are more tired of the blockade than we are tired of trying to break it. As long as they are calling for people of conscience around the world to challenge the blockade - and they said as recently as last month that they expect us on their shores - then I don't think we should stop. We have to keep challenging the blockade everywhere we can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is one of the ways - not the only way - to challenge the blockade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The blockade is not going to be lifted from lack of pressure. Every light that we shine of the injustice of the blockade makes it harder to maintain. What makes it easy to maintain is when people ignore it and don't do anything about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As with the prisoner exchange: it is not something that happens in a vacuum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It happens in a context of civil society mobilising to put pressure on governments to do what they should be doing, which is &lt;strong&gt;ending an illegal and inhuman blockade.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Isn't it time to come up with a new way to address this?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, the sea is not the only part of the blockade. It is also on the landside of Israel and Egypt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it is a complex blockade and we are challenging one side of it. But we don't forget the other side. The fundamental human right here is about the movement of human beings. While we bring some aid with us to Gaza because they asked us for some specific items, and you don’t go empty handed to this kind of event, our real point is that it doesn't matter how much stuff gets in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are in prison and you get wonderful meals and wonderful medical attention, you are still in a prison. The Palestinians of Gaza still don't have freedom of movement until they control at least one of their borders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Israel is doing is state terrorism. It is trying to reach a political goal through punishing a population, which is a textbook definition of terrorism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If they have security goals, they are much better ways to achieve these. The blockade perpetuates the conflict and worsens the situation, for both sides.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Did the recent prisoner swap have anything to do with the timing of this new flotilla to Gaza?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;We would be going now whether [Sergeant Gilad] Shalit would be released or not. Again, this is what state entities have to negotiate with each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They said they would never negotiate with Hamas, and in fact they did. This is proof that anybody can talk to anybody. When they say they will never lift the blockade, the fact is that someday they will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;David Heap is a linguistics professor at the University of Western Ontario and a member of the Canadian Boat to Gaza steering committee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23795533-4042049357215313336?l=malaysia-baru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/feeds/4042049357215313336/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23795533&amp;postID=4042049357215313336&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/4042049357215313336'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/4042049357215313336'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/2011/11/canadian-boat-to-gaza.html' title='A Canadian boat to Gaza'/><author><name>malaysia baru</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23795533.post-2302472058803005077</id><published>2011-11-04T16:01:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-04T16:02:22.948+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Aid ships leave from Turkish port to Gaza</title><content type='html'>Two boats carrying pro-Palestinian activists have reached international waters of the eastern Mediterranean and are making their way towards the Gaza Strip, in the latest attempt to break the Israeli blockade against the territory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Tahrir&lt;/strong&gt;, or Canadian Boat to Gaza, and the &lt;strong&gt;MV Saoirse&lt;/strong&gt;, the Irish boat to Gaza, left the port of Fethiye in southwest Turkey on Wednesday after Turkish authorities gave them permission to sail to the Greek island of Rhodes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Turkish coast guard briefly escorted the ships before the Tahrir and Saoirse took a turn towards Gaza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al Jazeera's Casey Kauffman, on board one of the ships, said that in total it would be a 50-hour journey, and they were currently one-fifth of the way there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Everyone on the boat wants to get to Gaza," he said, adding that while the activists are prepared for the possibility of an Israeli interception, the initiative will not be wasted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It will still bring attention to the situation in Gaza, and the blockade of the Gaza Strip." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Israeli navy issued a statement saying it was prepared to contact the two vessels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Israel navy has completed the necessary preparations in order to prevent them from reaching the Gaza Strip," the statement said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sailing under the flag of the Comoros Islands, the Tahrir is carrying six activists, a captain and five journalists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Saoirse - sailing under the US flag - has 12 Irish nationals on board, none of whom are journalists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;David Heap, a member of the steering committee on board the Tahrir, told Al Jazeera that the activists chose to leave from Fethiye because of the strained relations between Turkey and Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Turkish government has been creating more distance from Israel diplomatically and we know there is support from Turkish society for what we are doing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Our judgment was that the Turkish state would not interfere with us if we didn’t make too much of a public issue of our plan to depart from there," Heap told Al Jazeera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will take at least a couple of days before the boats reach the Palestinian waters of the Gaza Strip, where they expect to be approached by the Israeli navy.Freedom Waves&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We have some distance to cover between where we are now and Palestinian territorial waters of Gaza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Obviously we are going to avoid going through Israeli territorial waters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Our plan is to go directly from international waters into the territorial waters of Gaza - within a couple of days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We're not, at this point, going to state exactly when. We will choose our moment to what is favourable to what we are trying to do," Heap said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The activists say the new attempt the break the siege on the Gaza Strip is part of a campaign they call "freedom waves", implying that more such efforts will follow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both ships were part of previous attempts to break the siege on the Gaza Strip that was stalled when the Greek government refused to let a flotilla leave from its shores in July this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Tahrir, the larger ship of the two, was intercepted by the Greek coast guard with more than 30 pro-Palestinian activists onboard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two of them were detained for defying Greece's ban on setting sail to Gaza. The vessel was stopped about 10 minutes after it left port on the island of Crete.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Irish boat allegedly suffered damage when it was sabotaged while waiting to join the flotilla from Turkish waters. The ship has since been repaired and kept in dry-dock in Turkey.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23795533-2302472058803005077?l=malaysia-baru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/feeds/2302472058803005077/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23795533&amp;postID=2302472058803005077&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/2302472058803005077'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/2302472058803005077'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/2011/11/aid-ships-leave-from-turkish-port-to.html' title='Aid ships leave from Turkish port to Gaza'/><author><name>malaysia baru</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23795533.post-8317304265935725085</id><published>2011-11-04T15:59:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-04T16:00:41.563+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Shalit is free: Lift the siege of Gaza now</title><content type='html'>Israel's blockade of Gaza constitutes a clear violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention, according to the Red Cross.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Robert Naiman, 30 Oct 2011 09:07 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the world of principle and international law, the ongoing Israeli blockade of Gaza - which until now blocks Gazans from traveling to the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and blocks Gazans from exporting, farming, fishing, and otherwise earning their living - is a clear violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which bars the use of "collective punishment" against a civilian population living under occupation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The International Committee of the Red Cross - a key guardian of the Fourth Geneva Convention - has stated this clearly. As Voice of America reported:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The International Committee of the Red Cross says Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip breaks international law. The humanitarian agency said Monday that the blockade violates the Geneva Convention, which bans 'collective punishment' of a civilian population."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 - on the Red Cross website-  says: "No protected person may be punished for an offence he or she has not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited ... Reprisals against protected persons and their property are prohibited."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Protected persons" are defined in Article 4: "Persons protected by the Convention are those who, at a given moment and in any manner whatsoever, find themselves, in case of a conflict or occupation, in the hands of a Party to the conflict or Occupying Power of which they are not nationals."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But whether we like it or not, in the world of practical affairs, other things matter besides principle and law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In practice, the issue of the Gaza blockade has been entangled with issue of the captivity of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. As the Washington Post has noted, "The blockade was widely seen as a punitive measure driven in large part by the outrage that Shalit's abduction in 2006 generated in Israel."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hamas officials have said that Israel pledged to lift the Gaza blockade as part of the prisoner exchange that freed Shalit. Egyptian officials have also indicated that lifting the blockade was part of the deal. But Israeli officials have said that Israel did not agree to lift the blockade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether lifting the blockade was part of the deal or not, Shalit's release should cause the international community to urgently revisit the issue of the Gaza blockade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Key justification&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, there is never a bad time to revisit a serious violation of international humanitarian law, and the ongoing denial of the basic human rights of 1.6 million people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, although the captivity of Shalit was not a legitimate justification for the blockade, it was a key justification nonetheless. That key justification has been removed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third, as press reports have indicated, in achieving the prisoner exchange deal that had long eluded them, both Israel and Hamas were responding to changed dynamics in the region as a result of the Arab Spring. Both Israel and Hamas compromised longstanding positions to achieve the deal; both Israel and Hamas responded to pressure from Egypt and others to compromise to achieve the deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This development naturally begs the question: Given these changed dynamics, what else could be achieved as a result of new pressure on the parties to compromise? Could a lifting of the blockade be achieved? Is there any good reason why the international community should not try to achieve this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lynn Pascoe, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, has just made exactly this argument to the Security Council:&lt;br /&gt;A senior United Nations official has called on the Israeli government to lift the siege that has been imposed on the Gaza Strip for five years. Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Lynn Pascoe told a Security Council meeting on the Middle East and the Palestine Issue that the prisoner exchange agreement should lead to further steps towards ending the closure of Gaza, where a significant portion of the population are food insecure and dependent on humanitarian assistance. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We reiterate our call on Israel for more far-reaching steps to ease its land closures and facilitate the entry of construction materials into Gaza, free movement of people in both directions and exports from Gaza, with due consideration for Israel's legitimate security concerns," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To his everlasting credit, when Gilad Shalit was released from captivity, he used his megaphone to press for the release of prisoners, peace and reconciliation. "I will be very happy if all these prisoners are freed so that they can go back to their families, loved ones, territories - it will give me great happiness if this happens," Shalit told Egyptian TV. "I hope this deal will help with the conclusion of a peace deal with the Israelis and Palestinians and I hope that cooperation links between the two sides will be consolidated."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The international community should follow Gilad Shalit's noble lead. &lt;strong&gt;Lift the siege of Gaza now.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Robert Naiman is Policy Director at Just Foreign Policy.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23795533-8317304265935725085?l=malaysia-baru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/feeds/8317304265935725085/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23795533&amp;postID=8317304265935725085&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/8317304265935725085'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/8317304265935725085'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/2011/11/shalit-is-free-lift-siege-of-gaza-now.html' title='Shalit is free: Lift the siege of Gaza now'/><author><name>malaysia baru</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23795533.post-6367750997406040691</id><published>2011-11-04T15:54:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-04T15:58:05.978+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Turkey’s economic surge</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Turkey’s economic surge and its role in the Middle East&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turkey has been scoring high in economic development. This has already improved the self-confidence of the Turkish people and the government to speak more loudly in the international arena.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;If John L. Casti was right in his “Mood Matters,” where he claimed that the rise and fall of civilizations is contingent on the attitudes a society holds toward the future, then we are certainly observing a rising star from within. The mood in Turkey is quite positive, and the country is already convinced it can reach targets that at one time no one gave any credence to. Five years ago, when the prime minister declared a $500 billion export target for 2023, even exporters were skeptical. Last week the Turkish Exporters Assembly (TİM) estimated that this year will see a record $132 billion in exports. The target is still a hard one, but most of us believe that Turkey can do that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The government’s 2023 targets&lt;/strong&gt;, disclosed in the run-up to the recent general elections, had another entry: &lt;strong&gt;being among the 10 largest economies of the world. &lt;/strong&gt;Turkey is already the 16th or 17th largest economy, according to different listings. But rising from the 15th to the 10th in those lists is not as easy as rising from the 25th to the 20th. The gap between larger countries is larger. Turkey has countries such as the Netherlands, South Korea, Mexico, Australia and Spain to outdo and only then will the race become serious with Russia, India, Canada, Italy, Brazil and the United Kingdom running for seats in the top 10 economies of the 21st century. This is not easy at all, but it seems that the mood in Turkey is convinced that it will be…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, the Americans seem to have been convinced that this will be the situation in a few years. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke at an event organized by the American-Turkish Council (ATC) this week and she stated that she believes Turkey will take its place among the top 10 economies of the world “thanks to the Turkish miracle.” She went further and suggested that the Turkish-American security alliance should improve into a powerful and dynamic welfare alliance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no such thing in the dictionary of international politics or of capitalist economy. But the secretary of state knows what she is speaking about. She explains the “welfare alliance” as utilization of Turkey’s economic surge as leverage for political and cultural change in the Middle East. The Americans are aware that what makes the Turkish prime minister the “new man in town” is not the harsh criticism Recep Tayyip Erdoğan uses against Israel -- Arabs have many harsher critiques of Israeli policies. Nor is it the religious rhetoric of the Muslim Brotherhood used by Turkish politicians that makes Turks a role player in the region. It is thanks to the economic surge that is being experienced in Turkey despite the undeclared bankruptcies in its immediate neighborhood that the Arabs are looking toward Turkey as a future destination. Turkish soap operas, which have a sweeping effect on Arab pop culture, add to this perception of Turkish wealth. I am sure Clinton is looking at projections of credible institutions rather than the Turkish soap operas, but in the end, she reaches the same result: the Turkish miracle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can the Turkish miracle play a role in reshaping the Middle East in lines sympathetic to American policy? Will Arab youngsters looking at the success stories of Turkish businessmen decide to abandon their anti-American, anti-Western, anti-colonialist and anti-Orientalist sentiments?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This can happen only if Turkey, as the new tourism destination of young Arabs, also turns into a destination for Arab intellectuals, academics, inventors, innovators and investors. This can happen only if Turkey starts attracting not only the revolutionary Arab youth in the Middle East but also the Western-educated Arabs from Europe and the US to come and settle down in Turkey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this can happen only if Turkey fully abandons its already outmoded nation-state reflexes by means of citizenship rights and opens its doors to the highly skilled migrants willing to come and join the “Turkish miracle.” The Arabs will naturally not want their lifestyles, political structures and economic policies to be reshaped by a country which does not accept the active participation of the Arabs in its own developmental processes. Turkey can be a player in the Arab Middle East only if it lets qualified Arab minds join its workforce, its intellectual circles and its diplomatic-bureaucratic crew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.todayszaman.com/columnist-261749-turkeys-economic-surge-and-its-role-in-the-middle-east.html&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23795533-6367750997406040691?l=malaysia-baru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/feeds/6367750997406040691/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23795533&amp;postID=6367750997406040691&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/6367750997406040691'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/6367750997406040691'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/2011/11/turkeys-economic-surge.html' title='Turkey’s economic surge'/><author><name>malaysia baru</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23795533.post-5055396369580616268</id><published>2011-11-04T15:52:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-04T15:53:57.344+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Can Gaza Be Rebuilt Through Tunnels?</title><content type='html'>Can Gaza Be Rebuilt Through Tunnels? The Blockade Continues--No Supplies, No Rebuilding&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do you rebuild 5,000 homes, businesses and government buildings when the only way supplies come into the prison called Gaza is through tunnels? Will the steel I-beams for roofs bend 90 degrees to go through the tunnels from Egypt? Will the tons of cement, lumber, roofing materials, nails, dry wall and paint be hauled by hand, load after load, 70 feet underground, through a tunnel 500 to 900 feet long and then pulled up a 70 foot hole and put into waiting truck in Gaza? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The gates to Gaza slammed shut again on Thursday, February 5, the day our three person group departed Gaza, having been allowed in for only 48 hours. The Egyptian government closed the border crossing into Gaza continuing the sixteen month international blockade and siege. The crossing had been briefly open to allow medical and humanitarian supplies into Gaza following the devastating 22 day attack by the Israeli military. The attacks killed 1,330 Palestinians and injured over 5,500. The Israeli government said the attacks were to punish Hamas and other groups for firing unguided rockets into Israeli, rockets that over the past two years have killed about 25 Israelis. Most international observers have called the Israeli response to the rocket attacks disproportionate and collective punishment, elements of war crimes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, seventeen days after the gates swung closed on Gaza, they remain firmly locked. Ceasefire talks in Cairo between the Israeli government and Hamas are stalled. Opening the border with Egypt is a contentious point in the ceasefire negotiations. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the people of Gaza, rebuilding their homes, businesses, factories is on hold. Over 5,000 homes and apartment buildings were destroyed and hundreds of government buildings, including the Parliament building, were smashed. Building supplies, cement, wood, nails, glass will have to be brought in from outside Gaza. Two cement factories in northern Gaza were completely destroyed by Israeli bombs. Prime Minister Olmert's spokesperson Mark Regev said reconstruction supplies like steel and cement can be used by Hamas to build more bunkers and rockets. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dissension in the Palestinian ranks between Fatah and Hamas continues, even after the brutal Israeli attack on Gaza. Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad wants aid (perhaps as high as $2 billion) for rebuilding Gaza to be sent directly to each homeowner in Gaza, allowing donors to avoid the elected Hamas government. The U.S., Israeli and other countries have designated Hamas as a terrorist organization, and do not want international aid in Gaza administered by Hamas, even though the people of Gaza elected the Hamas government. On March 2, an international donor conference will be held in Egypt to discuss the costs of rebuilding Gaza. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who Profits from War and Occupation? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Building supplies will have to be brought from outside Gaza. Israel controls 90 percent of the land borders to Gaza-the northern and eastern borders and 100 percent of the ocean on the west side of Gaza. Egypt controls the southern border with Gaza. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Israelis who bombed Gaza will be the primary financial beneficiaries of the rebuilding of Gaza. They bombed it and now will sell construction materials to rebuild what they have bombed, exactly like the United States has done in Iraq. Egyptians too will benefit financially from the reconstruction-high priced small construction materials that will fit into the tunnels are no doubt have been transiting through the tunnels for the past 6 weeks. Israeli women had created a website detailing who profits from occupation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No doubt a second website is under construction that will track which Israeli, Egyptian and American companies will benefit from the bombing of Gaza. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prisoner Exchanges as a Part of the Ceasefire &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and his security cabinet said this week that no border crossings will be open until the Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit is returned to Israel. Schalit was captured by Hamas in 2006 in an Israeli cross border raid into Gaza. Hamas has demanded the release of up to 1,400 Palestinian soldiers in exchange for Shalit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said Hamas "had no objection" to Shalit's release if Israel would release 1,400 of 11,000 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, including Parliamentarians elected in Gaza in 2006. In the past, Israel has agreed to exchanges of large numbers of Palestinian prisoners for a few captured troops or their bodies. But Israeli and Palestinian officials had not agreed where the released prisoners would be sent after the swap. Israeli wants the prisoners expelled out of the country and Hamas wants them returned to their homes in Gaza or the West Bank. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Open the Borders" International Delegation to Gaza &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On March 5, I will be part of a 30-member international delegation that will travel to the Gaza border with Egypt in solidarity with the women of Gaza for International Women's Day. Israeli women will be at the Israeli border crossing into Gaza. Groups all over the world will join in with pressure on the Israeli, Egyptian and American governments to open the border to Gaza and let the people of Gaza rebuild their lives.

Most American companies seem to be more interested in making money off war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In contrast, I am on a three week speaking tour in Japan sponsored partially by Leila, a peace, social and environmentally-conscious women's cosmetic company. Wishing to make a major contribution to women's peace initiatives, in 2000, Leila established the Women's Peace Fund to be used to invite women peace activists to the annual World Conference against Atomic &amp;amp; Hydrogen Bombs held in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the yearly Japan Mothers' Congress, where 10,000 women meet from all over Japan. Leila donates one yen (one cent) for each cosmetic product sold to the fund (www.leila.co.jp).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2008, the fund also sponsored international women activists to attend the Worldwide Conference on Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution-Renunciation of War, which was undermined by the Bush administration's pressure (and continued by the Obama administration) for Japan's participation in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in violation of Japan's constitution. I was honored to be an international speaker at the 2008 conference on the importance of Article 9 to Japan and to the world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The New Japan Women's Association (NJWA) or Shinfujin administers the funding provided by Leila and invites international guests to speak at these events. Over the past ten years, women from the Philippines, South Korea, Canada, China, Kazakhstan and the United States, as well as women representing international organizations have been invited to speak on issues of peace, anti-militarization of Asia and the Pacific and nuclear disarmament. From the United States, members of the 9-11 Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, Military Families Speak Out, Gold Star Families Speak Out, United for Peace and Justice, the Women's International League for Peace, CODEPINK: Women for Peace, Veterans for Peace and Abolition 2000 have spoken in Japan under the auspices of the Women's Peace Fund.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NJWA has five goals: peace and democracy, women's rights, gender equality, better living conditions, and children's welfare. With 200,000 members and a readership of 300,000 of its newspaper, NJWA is the largest individual-membership based women's organization in Japan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For 43 years, NJWA, since the association's founding in 1962, has committed itself to peace. In the late 1990s, of 60 million signatures collected in Japan in support of the Appeal to Abolish Nuclear Weapons from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, NJWA collected 10 million signatures in Japan. In 2000, the signatures were submitted to the United Nations. NJWA was granted the special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council in 2005, and has presented reports and statements or sent representatives to numerous UN conferences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AHAVA Funding Israeli Mining of Resources in the Occupied Territories of Palestine&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The social and corporate responsibility shown by the Japanese cosmetic company Leila in establishing and funding the Japanese Women's Peace Fund stands in sharp contrast to another cosmetics company called AHAVA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AHAVA Dead Sea Laboratories (www.ahava.co.il) is a privately held Israeli cosmetics company that manufactures products using minerals and mud from the Dead Sea. Labeled as 'Made in Israel,' Ahava's products--such as Grape &amp;amp; Avocado Body Wash, Dead Sea Mineral Mud, and Mineral Foot Cream--are widely available in high-end department stores and pharmacies throughout the United States and in Europe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Hebrew word "Ahava" means love, but there is nothing loving about what the company is doing in the Occupied Palestinian territory of the West Bank. &lt;strong&gt;Ahava uses in its products mud from the Dead Sea, excavated in an occupied area, and thus it exploits occupied natural resources for profit, which is a violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention. &lt;/strong&gt;More information about AHAVA can be found on the website "Who Profits", a project of the Israeli Coalition of Women for Peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In July 2005 a broad range of Palestinian Civil Society organizations issued a call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel as part of a non-violent campaign to end the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem. Individual consumers can show their opposition to Israel's occupation by participating in a boycott of Israeli goods and services. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In response to the call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israeli institutions and corporations that give tacit or material support to the Israeli government's continued violations of international human rights law, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CODEPINK Women for Peace began a campaign called "Stolen Beauty" that targets Ahava Dead Sea Laboratories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CODEPINK launched the "Stolen Beauty" campaign in the summer of 2009, after leading four delegations to Gaza, Israel and the Occupied Territories where they saw the terrible impact of occupation. The campaign has educated potential customers in AHAVE stores and has forced Kristin Davis, "Sex and the City" TV star and spokesperson for the humanitarian and relief organization OXFAM, to stop her work for OXFAM until she ends her contract as a spokesperson for AHAVA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For women who use cosmetic products, these two corporations provide a sharp reminder that we as citizens have a choice between supporting corporations that make products for war and occupation, or products for peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a community, we must convince companies that &lt;strong&gt;peace can be more profitable than war&lt;/strong&gt;!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ann Wright is a 29 year US Army/Army Reserves veteran who retired as a Colonel and a former US diplomat who resigned in March, 2003 in opposition to the war on Iraq.

Governor Lingle, one of two Jewish U.S. state governors, made her first trip to Israel in May, 2004 for the 56th anniversary of Israel's independence, when she led a 27-member trade delegation. Travel and accommodation costs for Lingle and two other delegation members were paid by the Israeli government, while other delegation members paid for their own expenses. Livni was the Israeli government's Minister of Immigration Absorption during Lingle's visit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 years later, Livni, as Israel's former Foreign Minister, received an invitation to travel to Hawaii at the expense of the Leadership forum which is funded by several corporate groups in Hawaii, including the Sheraton Resort where the conference will be held. The Governor's office had a direct role in the invitation of conference speakers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Foreign Minister of Israel, Livni was deeply involved in the decision-making that led to the massive Israeli attacks on Lebanon in 2006 and on Gaza in 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 22-day Israeli military attack on Gaza in December 2008 and January 2009 killed 1,440 people, wounded more than 5,000, made 50,000 homeless and destroyed most government facilities in Gaza. The Israeli government's rationale for attacking Gaza was to stop the rocket attacks from Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza that had killed 30 Israeli citizens over the past six years. During the 22-day attack 13 Israelis were killed--3 civilians by rockets fired from Gaza and ten Israeli military, five of whom were killed by "friendly fire" from their own military.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2006, the 34-day attack on Lebanon killed over 1,000 Lebanese citizens and destroyed a large amount of the infrastructure of Beirut and other Lebanese cities and displaced more than one million. The Israeli attack on Lebanon followed a Hezbollah attack in northern Israel on two armored Israeli vehicles that resulted in three soldiers being killed, two wounded and two soldiers captured. Five more Israeli soldiers were killed during an attempt to rescue the captured soldiers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Livni's participation in the Israeli government decisions to attack Gaza and Lebanon led to activists in Hawaii calling for Livni to be dis-invited from the conference. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To provide an alternate voice to Livni's, concerned local groups including Friends of Sabeel-Hawaii, Jewish Voice for Peace-Hawaii, CODEPINK: Women for Peace and World Can't Wait invited to Hawaii two Israeli women who refused to serve in the Israeli military because of their government's policies in the occupied Palestinian territories and in Gaza. The women preempted Livni's visit, arriving Sunday, September 20, and spoke the following morning at a press conference outside Lingle's office at the State Capital. They also met with indigenous Hawaiian youth who shared the painful history of the US occupation of Hawaii with them, engaging in a dialogue about occupation across borders. Carolyn Hadfield of World Can't Wait connected the dots when she told a reporter at the Hawaii Advertiser, "In Hawai'i, where there are issues of occupation, for Lingle to bring in an occupier and hold her up as a role model in Hawai'i is outrageous." The culmination of their visit was an evening event at the University of Hawaii that drew a diverse audience of students, faculty, and Honolulu residents. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I met these 19-year old Israeli women military resisters during a CODEPINK: Women for Peace fact-finding mission to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories in June, 2009. 40 Americans and 5 persons from other countries, many of the Jewish faith, traveled to Israel in solidarity with Israeli peace activists and their attempt to break their government's siege of Gaza. Our delegation applied to the Israeli government to enter Gaza from Israel to bring playground equipment for children of Gaza. When we were denied entry, we spent three days protesting the three year blockade of Gaza at the Erez border crossing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One evening after the protests, &lt;strong&gt;six Israeli women who as high school students had refused to be inducted into the Israeli military and who were put in prison for their refusal,&lt;/strong&gt; one of whom was touring resister Netta Mishly, spoke to our group. They represented Israeli high school seniors called the Shministim ("twelfth-graders") who went to prison for their refusal to join the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) upon graduation because of their opposition to Israel's policies toward Palestine and occupation of its territories. About 100 Israeli 12th graders, they informed us, had signed the 2008 Shministim letter, a document that spelled out their reasons for refusing military service including "Israeli 'defense' methods at checkpoints, 'targeted' killing, roads for Jews only, sieges, land seizure policy which annexes occupied territories into Israel and trampling on Palestinian human rights ... It is impossible to harm and imprison in the name of freedom, and thus it is impossible to be moral and serve the occupation."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sagas of these young women being willing to go to jail to challenge their government's policies toward the Palestinians was so compelling that CODEPINK: Women for Peace and Jewish Voices for Peace decided to bring two of them to the United States on a speaking tour where they will speak in one month at 31 locations, primarily on university campuses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a retired US Army Reserve Colonel and a former US diplomat who resigned in March 2003 in opposition to the war on Iraq, I was deeply impressed with the courage of these women to make such decisions so early in their lives and their willingness to go to jail on these principles. When I heard they would be on a tour of the United States, I immediately connected with Hawaiian organizers in my home state about the possibility of them coming to Honolulu around the time of the women's conference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Margaret Brown, of Friends of Sabeel-Hawaii, said the perspective of the two young women military resisters opened an important dialogue in Hawaii, a land of occupation. Brown said "These young women, more than any of the numerous speakers Sabeel has co-hosted, really seemed to speak to the Jews of various persuasions in the audience. I saw Jewish acquaintances in the audience who have never come to anything we have offered on Palestine/Israel, including talks by Jewish or Israeli speakers. There's something very non-threatening about being lectured to by a couple of brilliant and sincere 19 year olds who have risked so much."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ann-wright/young-israeli-women-chall_b_301956.html&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23795533-7269847071468685584?l=malaysia-baru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/feeds/7269847071468685584/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23795533&amp;postID=7269847071468685584&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/7269847071468685584'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/7269847071468685584'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/2011/11/young-israeli-women-challenge-former.html' title='Young Israeli Women Challenge former Israeli Foreign Minister on Gaza and Occupied Territories policies'/><author><name>malaysia baru</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23795533.post-4806681043116873434</id><published>2011-11-04T15:32:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-04T15:42:07.969+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Making an American "Impenetrable Underground Wall" the Laughing Stock of the World</title><content type='html'>Making an American "Impenetrable Underground Wall" the Laughing Stock of the World -- Leave to the People of Gaza&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ann Wright, Retired U.S. Army Colonel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;No doubt at the instigation of the Israeli government, the Obama administration has authorized the United States Army Corps of Engineers to design a vertical underground wall under the border between Egypt and Gaza. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In March, 2009 the United States provided the government of Egypt with $32 million in March, 2009 for electronic surveillance and other security devices to prevent the movement of food, merchandise and weapons into Gaza. Now details are emerging about an underground steel wall that wil be 6-7 miles long and extend 55 feet straight down into the desert sand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The steel wall will be made of super-strength steel put together in a jigsaw puzzle fashion. It will be bomb proof and can not be cut or melted. It will be "impenetrable," and reportedly will take 18 months to construct. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8405020.stm)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The steel wall is intended to cut the tunnels that go between Gaza and Egypt. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The tunnels are the lifelines for Gaza since the international community agreed to a blockade of Gaza to collectively punish the citizens of Gaza for their having elected in Parliamentary elections in 2006 sufficient Hamas Parliamentarians that Hamas became the government of Gaza. The United States and other western countries have placed Hamas on the list of terrorist organizations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The underground steel wall is intended to strengthen international governmental efforts to imprison and starve the people of Gaza into submission so they will throw out the Hamas government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as the steel walls of the US Army Corps of Engineers at the base of the levees of New Orleans were unable to contain Hurricane Katrina, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' underground steel walls that will attempt to build an underground cage of Gaza will not be able to contain &lt;strong&gt;the survival spirit of the people of Gaza.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America's super technology will again be laughed at by the world, as young men dedicated to the survival of their people, will again outwit technology by digging deeper, and most likely penetrating the "impenetrable" in some novel, simple, low-tech way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been to Gaza three times this year following the 22-day Israeli military attack on Gaza that killed 1,440, wounded 5,000, left 50,000 homeless and destroyed much of the infrastructure of Gaza. The disproportionate use of force and targeting of the civilian population by the Israeli military is considered by international law and human rights experts as as violations of the Geneva conventions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When our governments participate in illegal actions, it is up to the citizens of the world to take action. &lt;/strong&gt;On Dec. 31, 2009, 1,400 international citizens from 42 countries will march in Gaza with 50,000 Gazans in the Gaza Freedom March to end the siege of Gaza. They will take back to their countries the stories of spirit and survival of the pople of Gaza and will return home committed to force their governments to stop these inhuman actions against the people of Gaza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as American smart bombs in Afghanistan and Iraq have not conquered the spirit of Afghans and Iraqis, &lt;strong&gt;America's underground walls in Gaza will never conquer the courage of those who are fighting for the survival of their families.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One more time, the American government and the Obama administration has been an active participant in the continued inhumane treatment of the people of Gaza and should be held accountable, along with Israel and Egypt for violations of human rights of the people of Gaza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;About the Author: Ann Wright is a retired US Army Reserve Colonel and a former U.S. diplomat who resigned in March, 2003 in opposition to the war on Iraq.

Pilgrims have to prepare their souls before paying a visit to the land where the Prophet of Islam was born, raised and then died. To do this, they should find books that give extensive details on the specific prayers to be performed while on the hajj and information on places to visit. They should listen to knowledgeable clerics who speak on hajj-related issues. To make sure they get to the sacred lands with minimum difficulty, they should discipline their souls, vision, ears and all senses because they are set to go to a land upon which the feet of the Prophet of Islam once walked, his eyes looked and his hands touched. This is no ordinary journey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is an exclusive journey during which you go back 14 centuries, kneel in front of the Baytullah (the House of God), and spend a whole night at His gate like believers had done before. This makes the visit a reunion. It is a hard but also a very easy journey -- a journey like water that moves you from one state of mind to another -- to rise like a cloud and fall like rain. Taking such a journey requires grand preparations that include those of the soul as well as preliminary work to ready your body. Women in particular take this journey so seriously that they prepare for it as if they are preparing for a wedding. Men like to convert it into a grand ceremony that involves relatives and friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shopping in Süleymaniye&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because it is usually the elderly in our country who are interested in the hajj, the preliminary preparations are ordered based on this fact. Many pilgrims had already completed their preparations before the hajj season began in October. However, it is still possible to see people shopping in İstanbul's Süleymaniye neighborhood. After taking care of official requirements with the Directorate of Religious Affairs, pilgrims take the hajj information package prepared by their mufti's office. However, because this package does not include everything they will need during their journey, they have to do some additional shopping as well. Because they have to wear clothes made out of seamless cloth, men have fewer needs for the hajj. However, for women, clothing and attire are important because they will need to cover their entire bodies. Additionally, hajj stores sell cream and beige colored tunics and pants. This outfit is particularly useful in the Jamarat (“stoning the devil”) ritual, an important phase of the hajj performed in Muzdalifah and Mina, wherein pilgrims gather pebbles and cast them at a symbolic structure as part of their worship. This enables the body to move more comfortably in a crowded environment. The outfit, mostly preferred by elderly women, also protects against heat owing to its light color.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Women prefer abayas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Young ladies, on the other hand, prefer the black abaya (a loose, light, button-down gown) that the women of Mecca traditionally wear. The abaya, or “ferace” in Turkish, is still an item that a woman of any age would wear, though, and it covers the entire body. Women must be dressed in Islamic attire while performing this duty, however, they must leave their faces uncovered, even if they normally chose to wear the face veil. Pilgrims are not required to purchase items from hajj stores. They may order any custom-made clothing that is comfortable and elegant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because the gist of the prayer is to concretize the principle of being a servant of God among millions of servants around the world, it is necessary to symbolize this through clothing as well. People must minimize their differences in appearance from those around them. During the hajj, ladies have to wear shoes with a closed toe whereas gentlemen wear sandals. You should make sure that you have slippers and odorless soap in your baggage. It is possible to buy odorless soap in hajj stores. Because you are supposed to take your shoes off during the circumambulation, you may want to take thick socks with you as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, because Mecca and Medina are so hot, you should heed the recommendations of those who have previously been there. The hajjis I talked to note that you may get scars on your body from the heat and blisters and it is necessary to use cream to address this. Men in particular are advised to use heel cream because they take part in this ritual with bare feet. However, because the hajj is an act of worship that involves difficulty and hardship, it is questionable whether it is proper to use such facilitators.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Zamzam water from Mecca, souvenirs from Turkey&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;There is another aspect of the hajj that concerns friends and relatives as well. Preparations on the way back from the hajj are also important. It is necessary to give presents to those who come to visit you after your pilgrimage. This has become an indispensible custom and a part of our culture. Store owners in Turkey are pretty happy about this and favor the preservation of this tradition. They hold that water from the Well of Zamzam, miswak sticks and dates should be brought back from Mecca. However, all other souvenirs and gifts can be purchased in Turkey, having been imported from Mecca, so hajjis almost always buy other trinkets from Turkey because they are less expensive and pilgrims should not be thinking about what to buy while performing the hajj. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In conclusion, clerics hold that &lt;strong&gt;the hajj is an act of worship performed by the soul&lt;/strong&gt;, not the mind. The pleasure that the soul feels during this ritual is indescribable. The soul should be purified, so you should make thorough preparations before taking off for the homeland of the Prophet of Islam....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

Universiti (AUKU) bercanggah dengan Perlembagaan Persekutuan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pada masa yang sama mereka menggesa kerajaan memansuhkan Seksyen 15 AUKU dimansuhkan selaras dengan program transformasi politik dibawa Datuk Seri Najib Razak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kelmarin, Menteri Pengajian Tinggi Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin berkata keputusan Mahkamah Rayuan berhubung peruntukan itu akan dibawa ke Kabinet, sebelum memutuskan sama ada perlu atau tidak kes itu dibawa ke Mahkamah Persekutuan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kata beliau, perbincangan teliti akan dibuat di peringkat

Pertubuhan IKRAM Malaysia (IKRAM) menentang usaha-usaha mengembalikan Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran Sains dan Matematik dalam Bahasa Inggeris (PPSMI) kerana yakin keputusan Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia (KPM) membatalkan PPSMI telah diasaskan kepada kajian dalaman kementerian, pakar-pakar tempatan dan kajian badan luar negara yang berwibawa yang mana semua kajian ini menunjukkan kesan negatif PPSMI melebihi manfaatnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sebagai sebuah institusi yang membawa misi memperkasa pendidikan Islam, IKRAM sangat prihatin terhadap isu PPSMI yang sedang hebat diperkatakan sekarang dan berpandangan strategi pelaksanaan untuk menguasai bahasa asing bukan sepatutnya dengan mengorbankan kedudukan dan fungsi Bahasa Melayu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Kami menyedari bahawa kepentingan dan keperluan menguasai bahasa-bahasa lain sebagaimana dinyatakan dalam al-Quran dan hadis Rasulullah dalam konteks pembangunan ummah dan tamadun bangsa serta negara,” ujar Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Pendidikan IKRAM, Profesor Dr Omar Yaakob dalam satu kenyataan media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Kami yakin bahawa penguasaan Bahasa Inggeris perlu dipertingkatkan tetapi cara meningkatkan penguasaan Bahasa Inggeris melalui PPSMI bukan sahaja tidak mencapai matlamat bahkan akan merencatkan perkembangan pendidikan murid-murid terutama di luar bandar.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tegasnya lagi, IKRAM yakin bahawa pihak Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia (KPM) telah membuat keputusan yang tepat ketika membatalkan PPSMI dan melancarkankan program &lt;strong&gt;Memartabatkan Bahasa Malaysia, Memperkukuh Bahasa Inggeris &lt;/strong&gt;(MBMMBI).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bagaimanapun katanya, cadangan untuk memberikan pilihan kepada sekolah untuk memilih sama ada menjalankan pengajaran Sains dan Matematik dalam Bahasa Malaysia atau Bahasa Inggeris akan menimbulkan kecelaruan dalam Sistem Pendidikan Negara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“IKRAM menyeru agar pihak Kerajaan bertegas serta mengambil langkah berhikmah dalam menentukan pendekatan dan strategi agar kedudukan dan fungsi Bahasa Melayu sebagai Bahasa Kebangsaan, Bahasa Rasmi dan Bahasa Ilmu terpelihara dan pada masa yang sama, penguasaan bahasa-bahasa utama yang lain dalam kalangan pelajar-pelajar tercapai.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IKRAM merupakan pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO) yang berpengalaman luas dalam bidang pendidikan khususnya pendidikan Islam bersepadu. Sejak penubuhan sekolah pertamanya pada tahun 1985, IKRAM kini menaungi rangkaian 34 buah sekolah swasta Islam pada peringkat rendah dan menengah yang dapat menampung 13,000 pelajar, lebih 1,000 orang pendidik serta berkhidmat untuk 20,000 orang ibu bapa di seluruh Malaysia.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23795533-3198920652757679236?l=malaysia-baru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/feeds/3198920652757679236/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23795533&amp;postID=3198920652757679236&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/3198920652757679236'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/3198920652757679236'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/2011/11/ikram-tentang-usaha-kembalikan-ppsmi.html' title='IKRAM tentang usaha kembalikan PPSMI'/><author><name>malaysia baru</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23795533.post-7048516709826849373</id><published>2011-11-03T15:00:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-03T15:04:22.466+08:00</updated><title type='text'>IKRAM Selangor memandang serius program Kumpulan Hak Asasi terhadap Kemerdekaan Seksualiti LGBT</title><content type='html'>IKRAM Selangor memandang serius program Kumpulan Hak Asasi terhadap Kemerdekaan Seksualiti LGBT hari ini&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 November, 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IKRAM Selangor memandang serius usaha Kumpulan Hak Asasi manusia yang menganjurkan Program Seksualiti Merdeka anjuran beberapa gabungan NGO yang turut mendapat sokongan Majlis Peguam dan Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram) serta hampir 20 NGO lain bagi mendapat pengiktirafan hak asasi manusia dalam kelakuan &lt;strong&gt;seksual lesbian, gay, bisexsual dan transgender&lt;/strong&gt; (LGBT) di Malaysia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selain menjadikan peruntukan hak asasi manusia yang dipegang UN, kumpulan ini juga menggunakan Convention "Crimes Elliminition of all Descriminations againts Women" -CEDAW UN antaranya terhadap kebebasan kelakuan seksual di Malaysia khusunya yang berkaitan hak-hak wanita. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bagi yang ingin tahu merujuk laman http:// un.org bahawa kenyataan CEDAW ialah "&lt;em&gt;The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), adopted in 1979 by the UN General Assembly, is often described as an international bill of rights for women.  Consisting of a preamble and 30 articles, it defines what constitutes discrimination against women and sets up an agenda for national action to end such discrimination."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dalam artikel ini terdapat kenyataan tentang hak kebebasan manusia kaum wanita yang wajar seperti pekerjaan dan isu keganasan terhadap kaum wanita  yang boleh diterima namun namun terdapat juga antaranya isu kebebasan manusia untuk mengamalkan lesbian, gay, bisexsual atau penukaran jantina sebagai hak yang tidak boleh dilekehkan, dihina atau diancam secara fizikal dsbnya. Mereka ini adalah manusia normal yang perlu diiktiraf dan tidak dipandang sonsang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kumpulan ini meskipun tahu pihak Kerajaan Malaysia tidak menerima pakai LGBT untuk diamalkan di negara ini, mereka tetap melakukan lobi berterusan meskipun mendapat tentangan masyarakat Muslim dan kumpulan agama lain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desakan mereka pastinya disokong secara langsung oleh Kumpulan Hak Asasi dunia yang menerima pakai CEDAW meskipun ada tuntutan CEDAW ada yang wajar khususnya dalam menentang keganasan seksual terhadap kaum wanita dan hak-hak mereka dalam masyarakat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sebarang respon negatif kerajaan pastinya akan menerima tekanan  masyarakat antarabangsa khususnya kumpulan Hak Asasi Manusia. &lt;strong&gt;Kini kumpulan Hak Asasi sudah seperti tuhan yang menghalal dan mengharamkan sesuatu perkara.&lt;/strong&gt; Mereka sudah berani mencabar kedaulatan agama Islam dan juga agama manusia yang lain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kumpulan ini mereka berselindung di sebalik CEDAW untuk kerajaan menghalalkan amalan lesbian, gay, bisexsual dan trangender atau penukaran jantina agar diterima pakai di Malaysia. Mereka beralasan kebebasan dan kemerdekaan seksualiti ini adalah dijamin oleh hak asasi dunia dan merupakan satu amalan yang fitrah kerana telah ramai yang melakukan dan selesa dengan amalan sedemikian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sekiranya kerajaan melayan kumpulan ini sudah tentu masyarakat malaysia khususnya umat Islam akan menjadi lebih keliru dan rosak sistem kekeluargaannya. Akan berlaku lebih banyak salah laku seksual walaupun ditentang hukum Islam dan fitrah. Mereka ini semakin berani kerana adanya dokongan padu oleh tokoh-tokoh NGO seperti Datuk Ambiga bekas Presiden Bar Council Malaysia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Program kali keempat sejak 2008 akan diadakan secara besar-besaran dan tahun ini program mereka dinamakan SEKSUALITI MERDEKA 2011, "Queer Without Fear" bermula dari 1 Nov – 13 Nov, 2011, The Annexe Gallery, KL. Projek kesedaran kebebasan ini dianjurkan oleh Seksualitimerdeka.org&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oleh yang demikian masyarakat Islam hendaklah sedar, menyatakan pendirian tegas, menolak agenda jahat dan bangkit menentang agenda kumpulan ini agar masyarakat Islam dan masyarakat amnya terpelihara dari &lt;strong&gt;budaya barat yang akan menghancurkan nasab umat Islam dan negara yang mulia ini.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shamsul Ma'arif Hj Ismail&lt;br /&gt;YDP Pertubuhan IKRAM Selangor.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23795533-7048516709826849373?l=malaysia-baru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/feeds/7048516709826849373/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23795533&amp;postID=7048516709826849373&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/7048516709826849373'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/7048516709826849373'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/2011/11/ikram-selangor-memandang-serius-program.html' title='IKRAM Selangor memandang serius program Kumpulan Hak Asasi terhadap Kemerdekaan Seksualiti LGBT'/><author><name>malaysia baru</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23795533.post-4872514593111277787</id><published>2011-11-03T14:54:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-03T15:00:10.360+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Sexual Freedom: The Fate of Pompeii</title><content type='html'>The Fate of Pompeii&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pompeii was the symbol of Rome’s moral degeneration. Just like the Prophet Lot’s (pbuh) tribe, the inhabitants of Pompeii, who had also strayed far from religious morality, chose a lifestyle contrary to the morals and life commanded by Allah. And so Allah punished them, just as He punished the Prophet Lot’s (pbuh) tribe. Every society that rebels against Allah inevitably is punished, either in this world or the next, for this is one of Allah’s laws. As Allah reveals: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... You will not find any changing in the pattern of Allah. You will not find any alteration in the pattern of Allah. (Surah Fatir, 43)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pompeii was destroyed when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 CE. Mount Vesuvius is the symbol of Italy, particularly the city of Naples. Dormant now for some 2,000 years, it is also known as the Mountain of Misfortune. Naples stands on the mount's western slopes, and Pompeii stands on its eastern slopes. This disaster struck Pompeii so suddenly that everything seems to have been frozen in time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are important lessons to be learned from Pompeii's fate. Historical sources reveal that before its destruction, &lt;strong&gt;Pompeii was a hotbed of vice and debauchery and was known for its widespread prostitution.&lt;/strong&gt; Yet Mount Vesuvius wiped the city from the map in a single moment. Interestingly, despite its terrible eruption, nobody fled. It seems that the people were rooted to the spot, as if unaware of the tragedy. &lt;strong&gt;A number of couples have been found, among which are same-sex couples and young boys and girls. &lt;/strong&gt;Some of the petrified human remains contain perfectly preserved facial features. Their general expression is one of surprise, for Pompeii was destroyed suddenly. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Allah gives an example of the people of a city: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;It was but one Great Blast, and [then] they were extinct. (Surah Ya Sin, 29).&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; “My Lord, rescue me and my family from what they are doing.” Therefore We rescued him and all his family – except for an old woman who remained behind. Then We utterly destroyed the rest. (Surat ash-Shu'ara', 169-172).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.harunyahya.com/books/faith/abraham_lot/abraham_lot_05.php – part of long article&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23795533-4872514593111277787?l=malaysia-baru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/feeds/4872514593111277787/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23795533&amp;postID=4872514593111277787&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/4872514593111277787'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/4872514593111277787'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/2011/11/sexual-freedom-fate-of-pompeii.html' title='Sexual Freedom: The Fate of Pompeii'/><author><name>malaysia baru</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23795533.post-5818886501943615558</id><published>2011-11-03T14:49:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-03T14:54:20.315+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Tarikh penubuhan Melaka 1262 bukan 1400</title><content type='html'>MELAKA 2 Nov. – Kerajaan negeri bersetuju menetapkan tarikh penubuhan kerajaan Melayu Melaka pada 1262 dan bukannya 1400 seperti yang menjadi rujukan umum sebelum ini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pengerusi Institut Kajian Sejarah dan Patriotisme Melaka (IKSEP), Datuk Mohd. Said Yusof berkata, asas yang diambil untuk menukar tarikh sebenar penubuhan Melaka berdasarkan dua karya agung iaitu Sulalat Al-Salatin dan Hikayat Hang Tuah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Menurutnya, beberapa peristiwa yang terkandung dalam kedua-dua buku tersebut membuktikan bahawa penubuhan Melaka bukan pada 1400 seperti dikatakan oleh sarjana Barat iaitu dari Portugis yang juga bukan berdasarkan kepada fakta sejarah…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ulasan: Dulu Melaka adalah Empayar. Bila keadilan terhadap rakyat dinafikan dan rakyat menghadapi kezaliman dari pemerintah, akhirnya Empayar akan mengecil.

Ini sangat melampau,” katanya yang dihubungi di sini hari ini….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ulasan: Tuhan memusnah kaum Nabi Luth kerana terus melakukan perbuatan homoseks mereka. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Of all beings, do you lie with males, leaving the wives Allah has created for you? You are a people who have overstepped the limits." They said: "Lot, if you do not desist, you will be expelled." He said: "I am someone who detests the deed you perpetrate.” (Surat ash-Shu’ra, 165- 168)).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Lot, when he said to his tribe: "Do you commit an obscenity not perpetrated before you by anyone in all the worlds? You come with lust to men instead of women. You are indeed a depraved tribe." The only answer of his tribe was to say: "Expel them from your city! They are people who keep themselves pure!" So We rescued him and his family-except for his wife. She was one of those who stayed behind. We rained down a rain upon them. See the final fate of the evildoers!

type='text'>Tuntutan PAGE beri kesan terhadap perkembangan bahasa Melayu</title><content type='html'>Tuntutan beri kesan terhadap perkembangan bahasa Melayu&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SHAH ALAM 2 Nov. – Tindakan pihak tertentu mendesak kerajaan supaya melaksanakan semula dasar Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran Sains dan Matematik dalam Bahasa Inggeris (PPSMI) secara pilihan di sekolah bakal memberikan kesan yang ‘amat malang’ kepada perkembangan bahasa Melayu di negara ini. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merujuk desakan oleh Persatuan Ibu Bapa Untuk Pendidikan Malaysia (PAGE) sebelum ini, Felo Penyelidik Utama Institut Alam dan Tamadun Melayu (ATMA), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Prof. Dr. Teo Kok Seong menyifatkan perkara itu tidak sepatutnya timbul dalam keadaan kerajaan sedang berusaha memartabatkan kedudukan bahasa kebangsaan itu. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beliau berkata, keputusan kerajaan memansuhkan PPSMI bukan hanya mengambil kira prestasi murid kesan daripada pelaksanaan dasar tersebut, malah ia melibatkan aspirasi negara untuk membentuk jati diri, nasionalisme serta perpaduan menerusi bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa kebangsaan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Adalah satu yang amat malang jika ada pihak tertentu seperti PAGE yang dipimpin oleh orang Melayu sendiri menentang keputusan kerajaan (memansuhkan PPSMI) dan mereka juga memberi tekanan serta mengugut untuk tidak menyokong kerajaan jika tuntutan tidak dipenuhi. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Kerajaan dilihat telah melakukan yang terbaik dengan memansuhkan PPSMI demi satu agenda yang lebih besar iaitu pengukuhan perpaduan, nasionalisme, jati diri dan keperibadian rakyat negara ini dan dalam hal ini bahasa Melayu adalah instrumen yang paling sesuai,” katanya. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beliau berkata demikian kepada pemberita selepas sesi perbincangan panel Program Rapat 1Malaysia bersama warga pendidik daerah Klang di sini, hari ini. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turut menyertai sesi perbincangan panel itu ialah Timbalan Dekan Pusat Pengajaran Sains Kemasyarakatan, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Prof. Madya Dr. Sivamurugan Pandian. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kok Seong tidak menolak kemungkinan pihak yang mendesak pelaksanaan PPSMI sebagai golongan yang tidak yakin terhadap kemampuan bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa ilmu pengetahuan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Sejarah telah membuktikan bahawa bahasa Melayu adalah hebat dan pernah menjadi lingua-franca digunakan dalam pentadbiran, ekonomi, perundangan dan diplomatik di rantau nusantara. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Dalam konteks moden, bahasa Melayu telah dibangun dan dimajukan oleh Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DPB) sejak 1956 lagi dan ia mampu berkembang sebagai bahasa ilmu. Malah, orang asing pun ketika ini dilihat yakin dan giat mempelajari bahasa kebangsaan ini di pusat pengajian di negara luar. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Ironinya di sini, golongan penutur bahasa Melayu dilihat tidak yakin terhadap kemampuan bahasa itu, ini amat malang untuk negara kita,” katanya.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ulasan: PAGE sepatutnya malu kepada rakyat negara ini. Rupa-rupanya PAGE kalah di negara sendiri.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23795533-4213784810671415630?l=malaysia-baru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/feeds/4213784810671415630/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23795533&amp;postID=4213784810671415630&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/4213784810671415630'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/4213784810671415630'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/2011/11/tuntutan-page-beri-kesan-terhadap.html' title='Tuntutan PAGE beri kesan terhadap perkembangan bahasa Melayu'/><author><name>malaysia baru</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23795533.post-5515826250888906339</id><published>2011-11-03T12:32:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-03T12:36:07.636+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Seksualiti Merdeka: Semua pihak perlu main peranan</title><content type='html'>Seksualiti Merdeka: Peranan semua pihak sangat ditagih &lt;br /&gt;Muhammad Hilmi Mohd Hamdan, UIA    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Di saat ramai sibuk membantah dan membicarakan tentang kedatanagn artis gay Elton John ke Malaysia pada 22 November ini, masyarakat Malaysia hari ini digemparkan dengan kemunculan satu program bernama Seksualiti Merdeka 2011 dengan temanya queer without feer yang mencerminkan tuntutn mereka supaya aktiviti songsang dapat dilakukan tanpa takut. Program gila ini adalah program berkala yang diisi dengan seminar, kempen, pertunjukan poster dan lain-lain.  Program ini juga mendapat sokongan dari beberapa NGO termasuklah Amnesty International Malaysia &amp;amp; Bar Council Malaysia Human Rights Committee. Lebih mengejutkan, mereka tanpa segan silu mewar-warkan slogan “ke arah Malaysia yang mesra LGBTIQ”. LGBTIQ ini adalah akronim bagi lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders, intersex dan queer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perkembangan ini sangat merunsingkan lebih-lebih lagi suasana sosial negara kita sekarang seolah-olah sangat membantu unutk misi mereka ini tercapai. Saya mempunyai beberapa pendapat tentang perkara ini:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) &lt;strong&gt;Berhati-hati dengan golongan yang mengambil peluang dari barisan perjuangan hak asasi dan demokrasi.&lt;/strong&gt; Kita dan mereka mempunyai misi yang sama iaitu ingin melihat hak asasi rakyat terjamin, tapi skop penilaian kita dan mereka berbeza pada menilai pengisian kepada hak asasi tersebut. Lantas, mereka menggunakan platform hak asasi untuk memperjuangkan agenda busuk itu. Pejuang hak asasi, tolong waspada dengan mereka. Walaubagaimanapun,sangat tidak bijak apabila ada orang yang mempertikaikan “kesucian” perjuangan hak asasi hanya kerana kewujudan golongan ini. Bagaimana mungkin kita hendak membakar sebuah bas, hanya kerana seorang penumpangnya yang membawa bom? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) &lt;strong&gt;Hujjah perlu dilawan hujjah.&lt;/strong&gt; Kumpulan ini berhujjah bahawa mereka adalah komuniti  minoriti yang berbeza dari orang lain atas dasar seksualiti dan jantina. Sebagaimana orang asli dianggap kaum minoriti kerana mereka berbeza berdasarkan susur galur keluarga, maka samalah juga dengan kumpulan LGBTIQ ini. Bukan mereka dipaksa untuk jadi begitu, tetapi mereka kononnya secara semulajadi dicipta mempunyai naluri yang bebrbeza dari naluri masyarakat umum. Hujjah sebegini boleh dilihat agak logik jika dinilai dari aspek hak asasi manusia.  Maka, diharapkan para ulama’, pendakwah, cendendekiawan, ahli akademik, mahasiswa dan sebagainya dapat memikirkan hujjah yang sesuai untuk dikemukakan. Zaman sekarang adalah zaman orang menilai berdasarkan hujjah. Sekalipun ada akta yang termaktub dalam perlembagaan, tapi akta itu akan dipertikaikan jika kewujudannnya atas hujjah yang tidak jelas seperti Akta AUKU.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) &lt;strong&gt;Ahli politk perlu bertindak segera. &lt;/strong&gt;Isu ini tidak harus diambil peluang oleh mana-mana ahli politik untuk menunjukkan mereka adalah jaguh pejuang menentang maksiat. Setakat mengeluarkan kenyataan tanpa tindakan susulan tidak akan mampu menyelesaikan masalah. Pelajar tadika pun boleh buat kalau setakat menulis blog kemudian membuant sidang akhbar mengecam program seksualiti merdeka. Jika pelawak Bob Lokman pun boleh dikenakan waran tangkap kerana tiada tauliah mengajar, bagaimana pula dengan penganjur Seksualiti Merdeka ini. Tidak adil jika anda menonjolkan sikap ke”jais”an anda hanya pada penceramah agama, tunjukkan juga pada mereka! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) &lt;strong&gt;Masyarakat dan mahasiswa perlu bimbing mereka. &lt;/strong&gt;Tidak dinafikan, kebanyakan masyarakat memandang jijik kepada golongan ini. Perspektif ini harus diubah segera. Agama mengajar kita membenci pada maksiatnya, bukan kepada pelakunya.  Apabila Lorong Haji Taib di Chow Kit dikenali sebagai lorong mak nyah, maka sesiapa yang pergi ke sana akan terus dicop sebagai mak nyak atau pelanggan mak nyah. Itulah doktrinisasi masyarakat kita. Maka semakin bermaharajalelalah mereka di sana. Mereka tak perlu membeli tanah untuk berkuasa di situ, tetapi pandangan masyarakat telah menyumbang “geran tanah” itu untuk mereka. &lt;strong&gt;Mereka perlu didekati, bukan dibenci dan dijauhi.  &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Akhirnya, saya mengharapkan semua pihak terutama parti politik baik BN ataupun PR supaya &lt;strong&gt;tidak mempolitikkan isu ini.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Isu ini adalah isu masyrakat dan agama, bukan isu “pergaduhan politik”.&lt;/strong&gt; Jangan membunuh sensitiviti masyarakat pada isu ini dengan mempolitikkannya terutama Utusan Malaysia yang cukup terkenal dengan kerja ini. Cukuplah berapa banyak  masalah ummat sebelum ini yang telah diabaikan oleh masyarakat gara-gara ahli politik cuba menjuarai untuk agenda politiknya. Meraka berkata, “ini isu politik, kami tak nak ambil tahu dan tak akan ambil tahu!”.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23795533-5515826250888906339?l=malaysia-baru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/feeds/5515826250888906339/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23795533&amp;postID=5515826250888906339&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/5515826250888906339'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/5515826250888906339'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/2011/11/seksualiti-merdeka-semua-pihak-perlu.html' title='Seksualiti Merdeka: Semua pihak perlu main peranan'/><author><name>malaysia baru</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23795533.post-6592809693303109536</id><published>2011-11-03T12:26:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-03T12:32:11.961+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Tidak wajib lulus, Pendidikan Islam dianggap remeh</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Mat Sabu, integriti dan perisytiharan harta&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ahmad Lutfi Othman    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Memang agak pedih menerima kritikan pedas Timbalan Presiden PAS, Mohamad Sabu bahawa isu integriti dan akauntabiliti seakan-akan tidak diberi perhatian utama oleh sesetengah pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat yang diberi amanah untuk menerajui kuasa di negeri-negeri tertentu.&lt;/p&gt;Malah beliau membandingkan, negara-negara Barat jauh lebih ke hadapan dalam hal ini, sambil merujuk beberapa indeks penting seperti berkaitan demokrasi, antirasuah, keselamatan dan kebebasan akhbar. Kecenderungan pemimpin parti Islam yang menang di Tunisia, An-Nahdah, Raschid Ghanoushi untuk meneladani model ekonomi Sweden -- bukannya negara Islam -- turut dibangkitkan Mat Sabu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selepas menyemak indeks berkenaan, saya dapati memang ada pertalian rapat di antara ranking demokrasi dan korupsi, kecuali untuk Singapura. Lima negara teratas demokrasi, seperti Denmark, Sweden, Finland, New Zealand dan Switzerland juga menduduki posisi lima negara terbaik dari segi ranking antirasuah. (Malang sekali apabila negara-negara Islam tercorot jauh ke belakang).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Program negara kebajikan mereka juga dikenali seluruh dunia. Memang peratus peruntukan kebajikan buat rakyatnya daripada KDNK begitu tinggi, dan cukai yang dikenakan ke atas rakyatnya juga besar, tetapi saya kira dengan pengurusan kewangannya yang  telus dan berhemah, pembayar cukai akan  berlapang dada. (Sebenarnya kadar cukai di Malaysia, sama ada cukai korporat mahupun individu, tidaklah jauh berbeda dengan cukai di negara berkenaan).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sedangkan negara kita saban tahun &lt;strong&gt;menyaksikan pembaziran dan salahguna berleluasa&lt;/strong&gt;, antaranya ditunjukkan dalam Laporan Ketua Audit Negara dan pendedahan berterusan mengenai ketirisan puluhan bilion ringgit, maka pembayar cukai sentiasa memprotes dalam diam (dan mutakhir ini berani meledakkannya di petak undi). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lebih keras apabila Mat Sabu menujukan teguran langsung kepada sahabat-sahabatnya, dalam saf kepemimpinan Parti Islam, PAS sendiri. Beliau mahu teladan lebih unggul, terutama dalam urustadbir sumber negeri dan amalan integriti dizahirkan secara lebih meluas. Jangan sewenangnya ghairah menggunakan 'hak' untuk menikmati keistimewaan atas jawatan dalam kerajaan (yang digubal Umno-BN semasa mereka berkuasa); seharusnya budaya hidup sederhana dipraktikkan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sesungguhnya integriti tidak akan dicapai melalui undang-undang atau institusi formal semata-mata. Seseorang individu itu kekal mengamalkan prinsip dan nilai hidup unggul meskipun dihapuskan segala kekangan perundangan serta adat dan kebiasaan tertentu dalam masyarakat. Justeru, konsep ehsan dalam Islam merupakan jawapan terbaik. Cukup malang jika aktivis gerakan Islam boleh mengetepikan integriti selepas diuliti kekuasaan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kisah hidup Umar Abdul Aziz, seperti diungkapkan Dr Siddiq Fadzil, perlu ditelani pemimpin gerakan Islam: "&lt;strong&gt;Ditakdirkan Umar tampil pada zaman menggejalanya kehidupan materialistik. Beliau cukup menyedari gaya hidup bermewah-mewah adalah punca utama pelbagai kebejatan moral, sosial, politik dan ekonomi ... membuka ruang rasuah, penyalahgunaan harta awam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Untuk menutup ruang kebejatan itulah Umar berusaha mempromosikan gaya hidup sederhana dengan menampilkan diri dan keluarganya  sebagai teladan yang hidup ... Memang tidak mudah melaksanakan langkah korektif apabila ia melibatkan kepentingan keluarga dan kerabatnya sendiri. ... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Keadilan sosial tidak hanya dikhayalkan .... direalisasikannya menerusi agenda pemerataan keadilan dan kesejahteraan, termasuk perapatan jurang kaya miskin."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Meneliti realiti di negara kita, saya semakin sedih terutama selepas membaca prakata buku Reformasi Pembiayaan Politik di Malaysia, terbitan Transparency International Malaysia: "&lt;strong&gt;Masyarakat Malaysia sudah terlalu lama bertolak ansur dengan rasuah. Kita menerima adalah tidak menjadi kesalahan untuk terlibat dalam rasuah asalkan kita sendiri memperoleh sesuatu atau merasa selesa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Justeru, kita sering menutup mata terhadap perlakuan rasuah dalam semua bentuk, dan tidak mengendahkan soal kurangnya akauntabiliti dan urus tadbir dalam urusan menerajui sumber negara, asalkan pemimpin politik berupaya memberi manfaat ekonomi kepada masyarakat, meskipun tidak sebanyak mana atau tidak setimpal sekalipun berbanding dengan ketirisan yang berlaku.&lt;/strong&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mungkin ada baiknya difirkan secara mendalam cadangan seorang rakan yang mahukan setiap calon PAS dalam PRU13 membuat pengisytiharan harta, iaitu salah satu elemen penting untuk mengekalkan integriti. "Kita sudah berkuasa di beberapa negeri, dan ramai pemimpin yang memegang jawatan kerajaan. Tanpa perlu diminta, biarlah kita menunjukkan teladan dengan secara sukarela membuat perisytiharan aset, agar nampak kita berpegang dengan ketelusan dan transparensi," hujahnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Di Amerika Syarikat, calon-calon yang bertanding akan meneliti borang perisytiharan sesama sendiri dan menjadikannya isu jika ada calon yang hidup mewah di luar kemampuannya. Borang yang menghendaki perisytiharan tentang sumbangan dan perbelanjaan kempen juga tidak terkecuali.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jika ada calon mendakwa hanya menerima sumbangan sederhana tetapi menaiki jet sewa dan tinggal di hotel mewah, maka calon saingan akan menjadinya isu. Terdapat juga kumpulan masyarakat sivil yang memeriksa borang dan laporan tentang ahli politik yang membuat perisytiharan meragukan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wajar sekali pemimpin dan kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat sedaya mungkin membuktikan bahawa dengan keterbatasan ruang lingkup yang ada, mereka secara jujur mahu mempraktikkan segala amalan mulia yang dilaungkan. Akhlak, integriti dan etika menjadi budaya hidup dalam menerajui amanah rakyat. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kelak akan tampil menyerlah perbedaan nyata sosok tubuh dan perwatakan seorang ahli politik Pakatan Rakyat (khususnya PAS) dengan Barisan Nasional, setelah terbukti berjaya melepasi godaan kuasa yang menggila itu.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23795533-6592809693303109536?l=malaysia-baru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/feeds/6592809693303109536/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23795533&amp;postID=6592809693303109536&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/6592809693303109536'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/6592809693303109536'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/2011/11/tidak-wajib-lulus-pendidikan-islam_03.html' title='Tidak wajib lulus, Pendidikan Islam dianggap remeh'/><author><name>malaysia baru</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23795533.post-6211339002844186693</id><published>2011-11-03T12:26:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-03T12:29:13.604+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Tidak wajib lulus, Pendidikan Islam dianggap remeh</title><content type='html'>Harakahdaily    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KUALA LUMPUR, 2 Nov: Dewan Pemuda PAS Malaysia (DPPM) menyelar tindakan kerajaan yang tidak menjadikan mata pelajaran Pendidikan Islam sebagai mata pelajaran wajib lulus dalam peperiksaan Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) seperti yang diumumkan oleh Timbalan Menteri Pelajaran, Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ketua penerangannya, Riduan Mohd Nor (gambar) berkata, kenyataan Timbalan Menteri Pelajaran itu menunjukkan kerajaan tidak berminat untuk menjadikan umat Islam khususnya generasi muda faham tentang agamanya sendiri.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Menurutnya, meskipun subjek Pendidikan Islam merupakan subjek teras yang wajib dipelajari oleh murid-murid beragama Islam, namun jika ia tidak dijadikan mata pelajaran yang wajib lulus, ia tidak mempunyai makna terhadap para pelajar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katanya, murid-murid tidak memandang tinggi subjek ini kerana ia tidak menjadi syarat wajib lulus, bahkan mungkin akan memandang remeh subjek itu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Dengan sistem pelajaran hari ini yang menjadikan para pelajar sebagai exam oriented, apakah perlunya para pelajar bersungguh-sungguh mempelajari mata pelajaran pendidikan Islam?” tanya beliau dalam kenyatan kepada Harakahdaily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Menurutnya, minda pelajar akan meletakkan subjek lain sebagai keutamaan seperti Bahasa Inggeris, Matematik, Sains dan lain-lain lagi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ujarnya, DPPM juga kesal kerana subjek Pendidikan Islam tidak menjadi syarat lulus dalam pendidikan di peringkat sekolah menengah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Dasar ini menjadikan pelajar-pelajar tidak berminat mendalami bidang agama. Bagi pelajar, Pendidikan Islam adalah mata pelajaran sampingan yang tidak penting untuk dipelajari,” katanya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dasar itu, ujarnya menjadikan subjek Pendidikan Islam terpinggir dari jiwa para pelajar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Justeru, katanya DPPM ingin mengingatkan kerajaan kesan langsung terhadap dasar itu terhadap masa depan generasi muda negara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Menurutnya, sudah pasti kejahilan akan membelenggui remaja di samping gejala sosial yang akan meningkat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tambahnya, golongan remaja akan hilang minat pada agamanya sendiri sehingga membawa kepada perlakuan yang haram.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Tidak hairanlah, ramai remaja beragama Islam tidak tahu membaca al-Qur’an, tidak tahu hukum fardhu ain, tidak menunaikan solat, puasa dan lain-lain lagi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Lebih menyedihkan ada yang tidak tahu mengucap syahadah. Bahkan ia membawa kepada krisis akidah yang lebih parah,” ujarnya…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ulasan: Orang Islam jadi hebat bila berpegang teguh kepada Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23795533-6211339002844186693?l=malaysia-baru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/feeds/6211339002844186693/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23795533&amp;postID=6211339002844186693&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/6211339002844186693'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/6211339002844186693'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/2011/11/tidak-wajib-lulus-pendidikan-islam.html' title='Tidak wajib lulus, Pendidikan Islam dianggap remeh'/><author><name>malaysia baru</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23795533.post-6813704682817330960</id><published>2011-11-03T12:24:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-03T12:26:39.445+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Jangan sampai polis dianggap pelindung BN</title><content type='html'>Harakahdaily    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KUALA LUMPUR, 2 Nov: Polis perlu cekap bertindak terhadap pencetus provokasi sebagaimana mereka agresif bertindak kepada himpunan aman Bersih 2.0, kata AJK PAS Pusat, Idris Ahmad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beliau mengulas ucapan Ketua Penolong Pengarah Cawangan Khas, Ibu Pejabat Polis Bukit Aman, Datuk Mohd.

Jadi kerajaan harus mengambil tindakan tegas terhadap kegiatan berkaitan agar penularan gejala itu dapat dibendung.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Tidak mustahil sekiranya gejala ini tidak ditangani segera ia akan menjadi barah di kalangan masyarakat kita di masa hadapan,” ujarnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ulasan: Mengapa pula kita di sebelah Timur tiba-tiba berperangai seperti manusia Barat?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23795533-5944522098312128?l=malaysia-baru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/feeds/5944522098312128/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23795533&amp;postID=5944522098312128&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/5944522098312128'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/5944522098312128'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/2011/11/pertubuhan-agama-anggap-penganjuran.html' title='Pertubuhan agama anggap penganjuran tidak selari nilai-nilai suci agama'/><author><name>malaysia baru</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23795533.post-6850070499086989926</id><published>2011-11-02T14:28:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-02T14:28:49.226+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Seksualiti Merdeka 2011: Kembalilah kepada fitrah</title><content type='html'>Nasrudin Hassan at-Tantawi    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Negara kita gempar lagi dengan satu program yang dikenali sebagai Seksualiti Merdeka 2011 dengan temanya "Queer Without Fear" yang berlangsung pada 2 Nov 2011 hingga 13 Nov 2011 di The Annaxe Gallery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Program ini kononnya berteraskan perjuangan "Human Right", menuntut hak dan kebebasan golongan Lesbian, Gay, Biseksual dan Transeksual [LGBT] untuk mengamalkan gaya hidup pilihan mereka secara sah dan terbuka.

gay&lt;/em&gt; mahupun lesbian di mana pengamal homoseksual ini dilaknat sekeras-kerasnya oleh agama Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Namun, ia bukan bermakna saya menentang hak rakyat Malaysia untuk mengamalkan agama masing-masing sepertimana yang dijamin oleh Perkara 11 Perlembagaan Persekutuan. Sebaliknya, &lt;strong&gt;saya sedar agama-agama lain juga tidak menyokong kepada sesuatu perkara yang boleh mengharu-birukan institusi kekeluargaan dan menambahkan barah kepada moral masyarakat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Malah, terdapat pendapat di dalam agama Kristian sendiri yang mengatakan perhubungan homoseksual adalah suatu dosa di mana ia dinyatakan di dalam ajaran-ajaran seperti Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Churches, Methodist Churches dan lain-lain lagi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Justeru, atas faktor apakah Bar Council Malaysia menyokong kempen yang sebegini tatkala banyak lagi isu moral di kalangan masyarakat yang boleh diketengahkan?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saya sebagai salah seorang Peguam yang berdaftar dengan Bar Council Malaysia melihat &lt;strong&gt;tindakan Bar Council Malaysia sebegini mencerminkan sikap tidak profesional Bar Council Malaysia yang membelakangkan kehendak ribuan ahlinya yang beragama Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Seharusnya Bar Council Malaysia sedar bahawa setiap tindakannya yang menyokong kempen sebegini sedikit sebanyak memberikan tempias kepada para Peguam yang berada di bawah naungannya. Tatkala keluar berita sebegini, rata-rata masyarakat akan menunding jari kepada kami sebagai Peguam Muslim umpamanya kami menyokong kempen sebegini dan kami tidak sensitif dengan agama Islam. Tidakkan Bar Council Malaysia sedar bahawa kami malu berhadapan dengan masyarakat apabila kami turut dipersalahkan walaupun hakikatnya kami tidak bersetuju dengan tindakan Bar Council Malaysia menyokong kempen sebegini?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kesimpulannya, &lt;strong&gt;Bar Council Malaysia harus lebih peka dengan kehendak ahli-ahlinya dan bukannya “syok sendiri” demi kepentingan peribadi. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Bar Council Malaysia harus lebih merakyat dengan peguam-peguam di bawahnya dan peka dengan kehendak para Peguam secara keseluruhannya, baik yang beragama Islam mahupun yang bukan beragama Islam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ulasan: Ke arah manakah Majlis Peguam Malaysia (Bar Council Malaysia) akan membawa ahlinya dan masyarakat Malaysia?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23795533-634489339172579165?l=malaysia-baru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/feeds/634489339172579165/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23795533&amp;postID=634489339172579165&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/634489339172579165'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/634489339172579165'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/2011/11/majlis-peguam-harus-peka-dengan.html' title='Majlis Peguam harus peka dengan sensitiviti peguam Muslim'/><author><name>malaysia baru</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23795533.post-5280848860700066675</id><published>2011-11-02T14:13:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-02T14:17:40.305+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Seksualiti Merdeka undang kemusnahan moral</title><content type='html'>KOTA BHARU, 2 Nov: Penganjuran Seksualiti Merdeka 2011 disifatkan pemuda Kelantan bakal membawa padah dan kemusnahan moral generasi muda di negara ini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sehubungan itu Pemuda PAS Kelantan membantah sekeras-kerasnya program berkenaan yang dianjur beberapa pertubuhan NGO bermula 1 hingga 13 November.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Setiausahanya, Mohd Nuri Mat Yaakub berkata, penganjuran program seperti itu menggalakkan hubungan sejenis yang ditentang bukan sahaja oleh Islam bahkan semua agama di dunia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Ini merupakan satu langkah permulaan terhadap pemusnahan besar-besaran moral dan akhlak rakyat di atas nama kebebasan hak asasi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Kami menjunjung tinggi hak asasi manusia selagi mana ia tidak merosakkan suasana dan nilai-nilai murni masyarakat secara keseluruhannya serta tidak bertentangan dengan syariat Islam,” katanya di sini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Program yang dikenali Seksualiti Merdeka 2011 dengan temanya Queer Without Fear berlangsung di The Annaxe Gallery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Program itu difahamkan berteraskan perjuangan human right, menuntut hak dan kebebasan golongan lesbian, gay, biseksual dan transeksual untuk mengamalkan gaya hidup pilihan mereka secara sah dan terbuka.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mohd Nuri berkata, kerajaan sewajarnya bertindak tegas menghalang perhimpunan dan gerakan seperti itu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Kami percaya sebagaimana kerajaan menghalang perhimpunan BERSIH 2.0 pada Julai lalu dan membuat penangkapan besar-besaran sebelum perhimpunan tersebut berlangsung, kerajaan juga boleh bertindak serupa terhadap penganjur Seksualiti Merdeka,” ujarnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Menurutnya kegagalan kerajaan bertindak tegas terhadap penganjur membuktikan ia mendapat lampu hijau sepenuhnya daripada kerajaan Malaysia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ulasan: Negara kita menuju  kemurkaan Allah kalau kita redha dengan program maksiat.

Kolej Universiti 1971 bercanggah / ‘ultra-vires’ dengan Perkara 10 Perlembagaan Persekutuan.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hakim Dato’ Hishamudin Yunus di dalam penghakiman bertulisnya menyatakan &lt;strong&gt;peruntukan Seksyen 15(5)(a) akan memandulkan daya fikir kritikal dan sihat para mahasiswa. Universiti bukannya kilang untuk membiakkan para robot dan mesin pekerja, tetapi jauh lebih besar dari itu, ia adalah gedung melahirkan para pemikir dan reformis. &lt;/strong&gt;Mahkamah Rayuan juga secara tidak langsung telah mengiktiraf hak-hak kebebasan asasi sebagai struktur asas dan roh di dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mahasiswa telah melakar sejarah kegemilangannya satu ketika dahulu, sebagai agen pendesak dan pengimbang bagi pemerintah. &lt;/strong&gt;Demonstrasi Baling, penubuhan Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa pengantar di Universiti Malaya dan Kempen Anti-Tunku adalah antara kenangan manis dalam sejarah gerakan mahasiswa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bahkan ramai yang memegang tampuk kepimpinan negara hari ini datangnya dari gerakan mahasiswa. Merasakan mahasiswa dan gelombang kebangkitan mereka mampu menggugat dan mencabar kerajaan pemerintah, maka satu undang-undang digubal untuk mengawal dan menyekat pengaruh mahasiswa , dan itulah AUKU yang ada pada hari ini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Universiti yang sepatutnya menjadi pusat pembiakan dan percambahan pemikiran telah terjejas teruk dan telah lari dari matlamat asalnya. Para ahli akademik dibisukan dan dijahit mulut mereka dari menjalankan tanggungjawab mereka. Kesan AUKU bukan sahaja dirasai oleh para mahasiswa bahkan keseluruhan warga universiti turut sama terjejas. Para ahli akademik dihilangkan taringnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mana &lt;strong&gt;‘speakers corner’&lt;/strong&gt;? Mana demonstrasi mahasiswa? Semuanya hilang ditelan waktu. Para mahasiswa telah menjalani proses indoktinisasi terancang dan pembodohan berstruktur oleh pihak universiti dan parti pemerintah untuk satu jangka waktu yang cukup panjang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pemikiran kritis dan perbincangan tentang idea sudah hilang. Bagi mereka, mahasiswa yang baik dan berjaya ialah apabila dia dapat lulus dengan cemerlang, tidak melawan dasar universiti dan kerajaan dan mendapat pekerjaan yang baik. Mahasiswa yang sentiasa mencabar dasar universiti dan bersikap kritikal terhadap dasar-dasar kerajaan adalah contoh mahasiswa yang gagal atau terlalu terpengaruh dengan pembangkang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mahasiswa adalah sub-set kepada satu kumpulan besar masyarakat. Setiap isu yang timbul, secara tidak langsung akan memberi kesan kepada kehidupan mereka. &lt;strong&gt;Dan selaku warga terpelajar, mereka sebenarnya menggalas tanggungjawab yang besar terhadap masyarakat dan negara. Tidak boleh dinafikan bahawa gerakan mahasiswa adalah agen semak dan imbang yang cukup berkesan.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Teori dan idea yang ditadah di dewan kuliah hanya berguna sekiranya berjaya diterjemahkan dalam tindakan. Bak kata Prof Ungku Aziz: “&lt;strong&gt;Belajar sambil mencabar. Pengetahuan tidak terjuntai seperti pisang. Bangsamu tidak termaju tanpa pemimpin.

"Jangan hanya tumpu kepada kerja Harakah sampai ke subuh, tapi tak sempat solat malam," ingatnya sentiasa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Untuk berkongsi ilmu dengan pembaca, saya cuba membelek buku-buku agama, tetapi tidak terjumpa yang dicari. Alhamdulillah, sebaik melayari laman web zaharuddin.net, saya terpandang bahan yang cukup bermakna:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bulan Zulhijjah, khususnya sepuluh hari awalnya adalah merupakan peluang kedua selepas Ramadhan untuk umat Islam mendapatkan gandaan keredaan, keampunan dan pahala amalan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Disebutkan Nabi s.a.w: "Sebaik-baik hari di dunia adalah sepuluh hari itu. " Allah SWT berfirman: "Demi fajar dan hari-hari yang sepuluh" (maksud Al-Fajr: 1). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Majoriti ulama menyatakan hari sepuluh itu merujuk kepada hari pertama hingga sepuluh Zulhijjah dan bukannya sepuluh terakhir Ramadhan. Ia juga disebut Nabi: Tiada hari-hari yang lebih disukai oleh Allah SWT untuk hamba-Nya memperbanyakkan amalan dari sepuluh hari ini." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Zaharuddin Abd Rahman seterusnya menghuraikan amalan-amalan utama yang digalakkan sepanjang 10 awal Zulhijjah yang amat besar pahalanya: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Zikir: Iaitu memperbanyakkan zikir Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha Illa Allah dan Allahu Akbar. Ia bersumber hadis riwayat At-Tabrani yang diakui sohih  Imam Al-Munziri. Allah SWT juga menyebut ertinya: "Supaya mereka menyaksikan berbagai perkara yang mendatangkan faedah kepada mereka serta memperingati dan menyebut nama Allah, pada hari-hari yang tertentu." (maksud Al-Hajj: 28)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ibn Abbas r.a. mentafsirkan erti "hari-hari tertentu" adalah 10  hari Zulhijjah ini dan inilah pendapat majoriti ulama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Berpuasa: Amat digalakkan berpuasa pada 1-9 Zulhijjah bagi orang yang tidak menunaikan haji. Hari Arafah (9 Zulhijjah) pula adalah hari yang terbaik untuk berpuasa. Nabi bersabda: "Tiada hari yang lebih banyak Allah membebaskan hambanya lebih dari hari Arafah." (Riwayat Muslim)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nabi s.a.w. juga bila ditanya tentang kelebihan berpuasa pada hari Arafah ini menjawab, ia menghapuskan dosa yang lalu dan tahun kemudiannya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Bersedekah, membaca al-Quran, solat sunat dan lain-lain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Menjauhi maksiat dan masa terbaik untuk memulakan taubat bagi sesiapa yang masih berfikir-fikir dan menangguhnya. Amat biadap jika umat Islam bersukaria dengan melampaui batas haram di hari yang amat agung di sisi Allah SWT ini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Bertakbir:  Ibn Abi Shaibah menyebut bahawa Ali k.w.  menunjukkan bahawa permulaan takbir  iaitu bermula sejurus selepas solat Subuh hari Arafah sehingga hujung waktu Asar hari ketiga tashriq.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.

Pendedahan terhadap salahlaku kementerian, jabatan dan agensi kerajaan tertentu terus mendapat perhatian ramai. Seminggu dua ini rakyat Malaysia asyik bermain dengan angka dan fakta yang dikutip daripada laporan itu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Khabarnya akhbar-akhbar berbahasa Cina menampilkan isu ini secara besar-besaran selama beberapa hari berturut-turut. Sekali gus ia menenggelamkan "gegak-gempita" belanjawan '&lt;em&gt;one-off'&lt;/em&gt; Najib Razak. Sememangnya, sejak dahulu, laporan media Cina lebih  bebas dan objektif. &lt;strong&gt;Beruntunglah masyarakat Tionghua berbanding pembaca Melayu, yang sentiasa diperbodohkan akhbar-akhbar utama berbahasa kebangsan!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isu kelewatan pembentangan laporan audit, yang tertangguh dua minggu daripada tarikh Bajet 2012, masih belum terjawab. Mungkin kerajaan bimbang laporan audit tersebut akan mencuri tumpuan berbanding belanjawan yang diakui Muhyiddin Yassin sebagai bajet pilihan raya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selain itu,&lt;strong&gt; amalan mengemukakan laporan kepada jemaah menteri sebelum diperkenankan oleh Yang di-Pertuan Agong turut ditimbulkan. &lt;/strong&gt;Justeru, ramai mula mempersoalkan tahap kebebasan Jabatan Audit Negara -- yang terletak di puncak piramid akauntabiliti kewangan -- daripada pengaruh parti pemerintah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Menurut buku panduan Asas-Asas Panduan Integriti, terbitan Institut Integriti Malaysia dan UNDP, jabatan audit yang tidak bebas seolah-olah seperti menyuruh si perompak melantik pengawal keselamatan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dalam buku Strategi Membanteras Korupsi, terbitan Transparency International Indonesia, ditekankan &lt;strong&gt;jika jabatan audit dapat dipengaruhi parti pemerintah, ia ibarat meminta pencuri memilih anjing penjaga.&lt;/strong&gt; Sedangkan yang diperlukan adalah audit yang kuat dan efektif, yang merupakan teman yang sangat berharga bagi pemerintah dan rakyat untuk mengurangi pemborosan dan penyelewengan besar-besaran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;strong&gt;Negara memerlukan anjing penjaga kewangan yang pandai menyalak dan menggigit&lt;/strong&gt;," buku itu memetik artikel dalam Economic and Political Weekly, India.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ia turut menegaskan, agar benar-benar efektif, Jabatan Audit Negara harus bebas mengelola anggaran perbelanjaannya sendiri dan menerima serta menugaskan tenaga-tenaga staf yang profesional. Biasanya ada tenaga profesional dan berpengalaman yang dapat ditarik daripada sektor swasta, apa lagi jika gaji yang ditawarkan menarik.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malah, sekiranya jabatan audit dikira masih bebas dan berwibawa sekalipun, apakah yang rakyat boleh harapkan daripada siri pendedahan tentang kes-kes salahlaku terutama yang berpunca daripada perolehan perolehan jabatan-jabatan kerajaan dengan harga yang jauh lebih tinggi itu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bekas Ketua Polis Negara, Tun Haniff Omar sendiri pernah membangkitkan kelemahan ketara ini pada 9 Oktober 2005: "Rakyat Malaysia diacah-acah dengan laporan Ketua Audit Negara tentang salah urus dan kedudukan kewangan dalam sektor awam ... Dalam sesetengah kes, Ketua Audit Negara mengesyorkan supaya siasatan lebih lengkap dijalankan. Persoalannya, siapa yang akan menyiasat ... dan bertanggungjawab kepada siapa?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"... wujud sinisme bahawa tindakan berani Ketua Audit Negara itu tidak akan mengubah apa-apa. Perkara ini kemudiannya akan dilupakan dan pesalah akan mengulangi perbuatan mereka. Bukankah masalah ini pernah berlaku sebelum ini? Adakah sesiapa yang telah dikenal pasti dan dihukum atas kepincangan terang-terangan ini, pada tahun lepas, atau pada tahun-tahun sebelumnya ...?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mengenai respons Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) untuk membuka  membuka fail bagi menyiasat 36 kes salahlaku seperti didedahkan laporan audit baru-baru ini, saya bersetuju dengan rumusan Lau Weng San, Setiausaha Organisasi DAP Selangor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Bagaimana rakyat boleh mengharapkan SPRM untuk mengambil tindakan tegas terhadap mereka yang bersalah apabila kes-kes yang telah dilaporkan sejak lima tahun yang lalu pun belum lagi diambil tindakan oleh SPRM?" tegas Adun Kampung Tunku itu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blogger terkenal, A Kadir Jasin turut menyentuh laporan audit: "&lt;strong&gt;Kelemahan pengurusan kewangan awam, biar sekecil mana pun, tidak boleh dipandang remeh, apatah lagi dalam suasana kewangan negara yang semakin terhad dan mencabar.&lt;/strong&gt;" Beliau mengaitkan hal itu dengan kegagalan Pelan Transformasi Kerajaan (GTP) Perdana Menteri.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;strong&gt;Apatah lagi, Perdana Menteri sendiri, sebagai Menteri Kewangan, adalah ketua turus kewangan negara. Jadi, kalau ada autoriti mutakhir yang perlu dipersalahkan kerana kelemahan pengurusan kewangan awam, hendak tidak hendak, orang itu adalah Perdana Menteri sendiri kerana beliau adalah Menteri Kewangan,&lt;/strong&gt;" tulisan Kadir dipetik.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tambahnya, "elok disebutkan yang dua daripada agensi yang akan disiasat Jawatankuasa Akaun Awam Dewan Rakyat (PAC) -- ekoran Laporan Ketua Audit Negara -- terletak di bawah Kementerian Kewangan iaitu Jabatan Kastam dan Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dalam pada itu, saya segera teringat perbualan bersama Timbalan Presiden PAS, Mohamad Sabu, pagi Jumaat lalu, di Petaling Jaya. Bukan kali pertama beliau melahirkan kerisauannya, malah ia diluahkan dalam ketiga-tiga pertemuan mutakhir saya dengannya, dalam tempoh sebulan ini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tema bicaranya adalah soal integriti, yang baginya, seperti dipandang enteng, termasuk oleh aktivis dan pimpinan Pakatan Rakyat, termasuk parti Islam PAS. "Saya bimbang jika sesama rakan Pakatan pun, dalam aspek integriti sewaktu mentadbir kerajaan negeri, kita tertinggal dek DAP," katanya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Masyarakat Barat lebih serius menjunjung prinsip mulia itu. &lt;strong&gt;Integriti, akuantabiliti, perangi rasuah dan budaya berhemat membelanjakan wang rakyat, cukup dijaga mereka.&lt;/strong&gt; Malang sekali, kita jauh terkebelakang. Paling sedih apabila kita tidak memanfaatkan kesempatan sepenuhnya sewaktu berkuasa untuk menunjukkan teladan unggul itu," ujarnya, sambil meminta saya menekankan hal ini dalam tulisan-tulisan saya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mat Sabu mahu teladan unggul peribadi mulia, Nabi Muhammad s.a.w., ketika berkuasa di Madinah, yang berjaya mengislamkan lebih suku juta umat, berbanding tidak sampai 500 orang di Makkah, dijejaki rahsianya. Bagi beliau, kejayaan itu adalah kerana tarikan contoh gemilang Nabi yang ditunjukkan baginda semasa memerintah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Soalnya, &lt;strong&gt;apa yang kita lakukan sewaktu diberi amanah ketika berkuasa? Apakah ia makin membuatkan masyarakat bukan Islam tertarik dengan agama suci ini, atau bagaimana" soalnya.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;II. Pengundi Melayu&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Era Umno-BN makin menghampiri nokhtah. &lt;/strong&gt;Sekurang-kurangnya itulah tanggapan aktivis Pakatan Rakyat. Lambat atau cepat BN akan beralih daripada takhta kuasa. Namun, bagi saya, persoalannya, apakah ia dapat ditumbangkan dalam PRU13 ini, atau kita terpaksa menanti 5 tahun lagi?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Faktor masa cukup penting dan begitu kritikal. Sekali peluang terlepas, situasi boleh berubah. Kesempatan yang ada mungkin tidak datang lagi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dalam kolum sebelum ini saya menyentuh isu media baru yang memecahkan monopoli maklumat. Soalnya (banyak sangat pertanyaan), apakah dengan penguasaan maklumat maka secara automatik ia turut merubah persepsi rakyat, khususnya pengundi Melayu, terhadap BN?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dikatakan talian hayat Umno kini bergantung kepada peneroka Felda, kampung tradisi, undi pos dan masyarakat Bumiputera Sabah/Sarawak. Bahasa mudahnya, terikat kuat dengan sentimen orang Melayu-Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ya, bagaimana penerimaan pengundi Melayu di wilayah berkenaan kepada PAS? Maaf, saya masih menaruh curiga sebelum berani meramalkan perubahan besar bakal berlaku.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;III. 10 hari pertama Zulhijjah&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sewaktu 10 hari terakhir Ramadan lalu, saya terkesan dengan pesanan seorang ustaz, bahawa selain mengejar keberkatan di bulan puasa, jangan pula lupa kesempatan terbaik untuk mengabdikan diri kepada Allah pada bulan Zulhijjah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selepas mendengar siaran radio Ikim, pagi 1 Zulhijjah lalu, isteri saya turut mengingatkan hal sama, merujuk tazkirah penceramah jemputan. "Jangan hanya tumpu kepada kerja Harakah sampai ke subuh, tapi tak sempat solat malam," ingatnya sentiasa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Untuk berkongsi ilmu dengan pembaca, saya cuba membelek buku-buku agama, tetapi tidak terjumpa yang dicari. Alhamdulillah, sebaik melayari laman web zaharuddin.net, saya terpandang bahan yang cukup bermakna:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bulan Zulhijjah, khususnya sepuluh hari awalnya adalah merupakan peluang kedua selepas Ramadhan untuk umat Islam mendapatkan gandaan keredaan, keampunan dan pahala amalan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Disebutkan Nabi s.a.w: "Sebaik-baik hari di dunia adalah sepuluh hari itu. " Allah SWT berfirman: "Demi fajar dan hari-hari yang sepuluh" (maksud Al-Fajr: 1). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Majoriti ulama menyatakan hari sepuluh itu merujuk kepada hari pertama hingga sepuluh Zulhijjah dan bukannya sepuluh terakhir Ramadhan. Ia juga disebut Nabi: Tiada hari-hari yang lebih disukai oleh Allah SWT untuk hamba-Nya memperbanyakkan amalan dari sepuluh hari ini." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Zaharuddin Abd Rahman seterusnya menghuraikan amalan-amalan utama yang digalakkan sepanjang 10 awal Zulhijjah yang amat besar pahalanya: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Zikir: Iaitu memperbanyakkan zikir Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha Illa Allah dan Allahu Akbar. Ia bersumber hadis riwayat At-Tabrani yang diakui sohih  Imam Al-Munziri. Allah SWT juga menyebut ertinya: "Supaya mereka menyaksikan berbagai perkara yang mendatangkan faedah kepada mereka serta memperingati dan menyebut nama Allah, pada hari-hari yang tertentu." (maksud Al-Hajj: 28)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ibn Abbas r.a. mentafsirkan erti "hari-hari tertentu" adalah 10  hari Zulhijjah ini dan inilah pendapat majoriti ulama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Berpuasa: Amat digalakkan berpuasa pada 1-9 Zulhijjah bagi orang yang tidak menunaikan haji. Hari Arafah (9 Zulhijjah) pula adalah hari yang terbaik untuk berpuasa. Nabi bersabda: "Tiada hari yang lebih banyak Allah membebaskan hambanya lebih dari hari Arafah." (Riwayat Muslim)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nabi s.a.w. juga bila ditanya tentang kelebihan berpuasa pada hari Arafah ini menjawab, ia menghapuskan dosa yang lalu dan tahun kemudiannya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Bersedekah, membaca al-Quran, solat sunat dan lain-lain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Menjauhi maksiat dan masa terbaik untuk memulakan taubat bagi sesiapa yang masih berfikir-fikir dan menangguhnya. Amat biadap jika umat Islam bersukaria dengan melampaui batas haram di hari yang amat agung di sisi Allah SWT ini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Bertakbir:  Ibn Abi Shaibah menyebut bahawa Ali k.w.  menunjukkan bahawa permulaan takbir  iaitu bermula sejurus selepas solat Subuh hari Arafah sehingga hujung waktu Asar hari ketiga tashriq.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Menyembelih korban.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bm.harakahdaily.net/index.php/columnist/editor-harakah/6286-pencuri-pilih-anjing-penjaga&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23795533-5726124343934337502?l=malaysia-baru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/feeds/5726124343934337502/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23795533&amp;postID=5726124343934337502&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/5726124343934337502'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/5726124343934337502'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/2011/11/pencuri-pilih-anjing-penjaga.html' title='Pencuri pilih anjing penjaga'/><author><name>malaysia baru</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23795533.post-3976730566659720073</id><published>2011-11-01T15:42:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-01T15:43:53.995+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Kemelut PPSMI bukti kerajaan BN lemah</title><content type='html'>Harakahdaily    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KUALA LUMPUR, 1 Nov: Kemelut dasar Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran Sains dan Matematik dalam Bahasa Inggeris (PPSMI) telah memperlihatkan kepada rakyat betapa lemahnya kerajaan Barisan Nasional dalam membuat sesuatu keputusan penting bagi masa depan negara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dalam satu kenyataan hari ini, Ketua Penerangan PAS Pusat, Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man (gambar) berkata kemelut PPSMI berpunca dari dasar pendidikan yang bercelaru dan tidak konsisten dalam pentadbiran BN sehinggakan sebuah badan NGO, Persatuan Ibu Bapa Pendidikan Malaysia (Page) membuat ugutan kepada kerajaan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Sebelumnya, NGO Perkasa membuat ugutan dalam pelbagai transformasi yang dilaungkan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak. Bahkan, dalam isu novel Interlok pun, ianya jadi satu polemik. Rakyat melihat bila mana bertukar seorang Menteri Pelajaran, maka pelbagai dasar baru pendidikan diperkenalkan sehingga ia mengganggu kelancaran Dasar Pendidikan Negara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;strong&gt;Dasar yang sentiasa berubah ini mencerminkan sikap kerajaan Barisan Nasional yang suka menjalankan sesuatu dasar tanpa satu kajian yang mantap dan tersusun,&lt;/strong&gt;” selar beliau, yang juga Pesuruhjaya PAS Pahang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kecelaruan dasar BN, kata beliau telah mengakibatkan negara negara bukan sahaja berhadapan kerugian pembinaan generasi negara selaras dengan keperluan, bahkan ia turut membawa kesan kepada kewangan negara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Sebagai kerajaan yang bertanggungjawab dan pandai berfikir panjang, sepatutnya perkara ini tidak berlaku,” kata beliau.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuan Ibrahim juga mengingatkan rakyat bahawa keputusan terbaru kerajaan untuk memansuhkan PPSMI masih boleh berubah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Rakyat jangan terkejut seandainya kerajaan BN akan membuat U-turn lagi dalam hal ini kerana kerajaan yang ada sangat lemah dan menunggu untuk tumbang,” sindir beliau.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baru-baru ini, Timbalan Perdana Menteri yang juga Menteri Pendidikan, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin berkata sistem pendidikan negara ini akan kucar-kacir jika kerajaan membenarkan pemilihan bahasa pengantar sama ada Bahasa Melayu ataupun bahasa Inggeris.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Timbalan Presiden PKR, Azmin Ali berkata terdapat satu kajian oleh Unesco bahawa untuk menjadi sebuah negara maju dalam bidang industri teknologi sains, maka mata pelajaran perlu diajar dalam bahasa ibunda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;strong&gt;Negara maju seperti Jepun, Korea dan Jerman juga tidak mengajar teknikal subjek dalam Inggeris malah mempertahankan bahasa ibunda mereka&lt;/strong&gt;," tegas beliau.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23795533-3976730566659720073?l=malaysia-baru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/feeds/3976730566659720073/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23795533&amp;postID=3976730566659720073&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/3976730566659720073'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/3976730566659720073'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/2011/11/kemelut-ppsmi-bukti-kerajaan-bn-lemah.html' title='Kemelut PPSMI bukti kerajaan BN lemah'/><author><name>malaysia baru</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23795533.post-5100380647459200546</id><published>2011-11-01T15:40:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-01T15:42:03.644+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Bashar al-Assad: I won't waste my time with Syrian opposition</title><content type='html'>Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president, has said he will not "waste his time" talking about the body leading the opposition against him, as senior members of the group accused him of scaremongering to protect his embattled regime. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an exclusive interview with The Daily Telegraph, President Assad dismissed the Syrian National Council, a broad front bringing together most of his main opponents. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I wouldn't waste my time talking about them," he said.

The capture and death of Muammar Gaddafi prompted him and other US officials to congratulate the Libyan people on their liberation from a despot accused of terrible violations of human rights, including the 1996 massacre of more than 1200 prison inmates. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The kudos was as much for the US itself as Libya's victorious Transitional National Council. After all, the United States played a decisive role in Gaddafi's death. First President Obama put together the NATO coalition that served as the Benghazi-based rebels' loaned air force. When the bombing campaign was announced in February, Gaddafi's suppression of the human rights of protesting rebels was front and centre: "The United States also strongly supports the universal rights of the Libyan people," Obama said at that time. "That includes the rights of peaceful assembly, free speech, and the ability of the Libyan people to determine their own destiny. These are human rights. They are not negotiable. They must be respected in every country. And they cannot be denied through violence or suppression." (No word on how police firing rubber bullets at unarmed, peaceful protesters at the Occupy movement in Oakland, California, fits into that.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in the end, it was reportedly a Hellfire missile fired by a Predator drone plane controlled by the CIA - in conjunction with an attack by a French fighter jet - that destroyed the convoy of cars Gaddafi and his entourage used to try to escape the siege of Sirte, driving him into the famous drainage pipe and into the hands of his tormentors and executioners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;US officials and media reports were right about Gaddafi's human rights record: It was atrocious. They cautioned the incoming TNC to make human rights a priority: "The Libyan authorities should also continue living up to their commitments to respect human rights, begin a national reconciliation process, secure weapons and dangerous materials, and bring together armed groups under a unified civilian leadership," Obama said. (No word on how Gaddafi's execution fits in to that.)  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hypocrisy reigns&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet, in the very same week, the United States was cozying up to another long-time dictator - one whose style, brutal treatment of prisoners, and notorious massacre of political dissidents is highly reminiscent of the deposed Libyan tyrant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like a business that maintains two sets of records, one for the tax inspector and the other containing the truth, the United States has two different foreign policies. Its constitution, laws and treaty obligations prohibit torture, assassinations, and holding prisoners without trial. In reality there are secret prisons such as Guantánamo. Similarly, there are two sets of ethical standards in America's dealing with other countries. Enemies are held to the strictest standards. Allies get a pass. This double standard is the number-one cause of anti-Americanism in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In yet another display that exposes US foreign policy on human rights as hypocritical and self-serving, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton traveled to Uzbekistan to establish closer ties with the Central Asian republic's president-for-life, Islam Karimov. Even as her State Department was ballyhooing the bloody conclusion of Gaddafi's 42-year reign as a victory for freedom and decency, the former First Lady was engaged in the cynical Cold War-style of one of the worst human rights abusers in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the human rights brief on Karimov, one major highlight is Central Asia's Tiananmen Square, the 2005 massacre of between 750 and 1250 peaceful demonstrators at Andijan, a southern town along the restive border with Kyrgyzstan, near the ancient Ferghana Valley. &lt;strong&gt;Karimov personally ordered Uzbek militia, Interior Ministry troops and regular army units to surround a square and gun down the protesters, then travelled to the site in order to witness the carnage.&lt;/strong&gt; A few dozen people managed to escape, scrambling across a border crossing. Shocked Kyrgyz sentries, who had a view of the killing orgy, admitted the refugees. Uzbek troops chased the escapees into Kyrgyzstan, dragged them back and executed them on the Uzbek side of the bridge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prior to Andijan, the Clinton and Bush Administrations had a cozy relationship with Karimov, overlooking such untidy matters as the Uzbek leader's habit of boiling political dissidents to death (more on that later), in light of the perceived high strategic value of his country. Uzbekistan has huge energy reserves and a unique placement. (Uzbekistan is the only state in Central Asia that borders all the others. It also borders Afghanistan. In 1979, the Soviets invaded Afghanistan via the Uzbek town of Termiz.) Tashkent is the region's biggest city, complete with its own metro system, European-standard international airport and daily nonstop flights to New York-infrastructure that became invaluable after America's 2001 invasion of Afghanistan. US and NATO paid Karimov for the right to build airbases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Andijan, the US gave into pressure by international human rights organisations to pull back. Covert aid continued, however. The airbases, including one known as Karshi-Khanabad (K2) were technically "closed" (though the personnel and activities continued). In late 2005 the US imposed low-grade trade sanctions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's all in the past now. In September 2011 Secretary Clinton lifted the sanctions, saying that the Karimov regime was "showing signs of improving its human rights record and expanding political freedoms". As a goodwill gesture in advance of Clinton's trip last week, Uzbek authorities released Norboi Kholjigitov, a human rights advocate jailed since 2005 on charges widely believed to have been politically motivated. &lt;strong&gt;Kholjigitov is said to be near death after years of abuse in prison.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One step forward, two steps back. One week before Clinton's arrival an Uzbek court found BBC journalist Urunboy Usmonov guilty of conspiring with Hizb ut Tahrir, an Islamist group that serves as an all-purpose national bugaboo (along with the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, a Tajik-based organisation with alleged links to the Afghan Taliban). The specific charge: "Failing to report on Hizb's activities." Usmonov received a three-year suspended sentence. He claimed to have been beaten and tortured in prison. The same day, newspaper reporter Makhmadyusuf Ismoilov, in jail since late last year for "insult and defamation" of Karimov, was subjected to a large fine and banned from journalism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Tashkent, a US State Department official described Karimov's most outrageous excesses as "a thing of the past". In this case, the past isn't merely prologue - it's ongoing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to a 2010 report by Human Rights Watch:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"New research by Human Rights Watch reveals that the &lt;strong&gt;Uzbek government continues to intimidate and harass the families of Andijan survivors who have sought refuge abroad.&lt;/strong&gt; The police regularly summon them for questioning, subject them to constant surveillance, and threaten to bring criminal charges against them or confiscate their homes. School officials humiliate refugees' children. Five years after the massacre, on May 13, 2005, people suspected of having participated in or witnessed the massacre are still being detained, beaten, and threatened. The sentencing on April 30 of Diloram Abdukodirova, an Andijan refugee who returned to Uzbekistan in January, to ten years and two months in prison, shows the lengths to which the government will go to persecute anyone it perceives as linked to the Andijan events."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These Soviet-style persections did not prevent President Obama from personally calling Karimov last month on the occasion of Uzbekistan's 20th year of independence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Karimov is one of three Central Asian strongmen (along with Emomali Rahmon of Tajikistan and Nursultan Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan) who have retained absolute power since independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;He presides over an autocracy whose level of corruption and dysfunction is staggering - even by dismal regional standards.&lt;/strong&gt; All media is state-controlled. &lt;strong&gt;Opposition parties are banned.&lt;/strong&gt; With substantial reserves from the Caspian Sea oil bonanza and by some measures the world's largest reserves of natural gas, Uzbekistan has the means to provide a comfortable living for all of its citizens. However, a tiny coterie of businessmen connected to the regime diverts nearly all of the proceeds of the nation's patrimony to numbered accounts overseas, leaving most of the population unemployed and in abject poverty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Local militia (military police) are unpaid. So they pay themselves. They terrorize citizens with random raids, murders and countless checkpoints where motorists are shaken down. While arriving to visit a friend in the Uzbek capital of Tashkent a couple of years ago, I observed a dead body on the curb of the road in front of his apartment building. The man had been struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver several days earlier. His body was in a state of advanced decomposition in the 120-degree heat, but no one had called the cops. No one dared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New strategy &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As noted above, there are many reasons for the US to coddle the Uzbek dictator. But President Obama is especially focused on one. "The object of Obama's interest is the 'Northern Distribution Network, the Central Asian roads over which diesel and other US military supplies now increasingly travel [into Afghanistan]," writes Russell Zanca in Foreign Policy. "The administration is correct in thinking that NDN, as it is known for short, will run more smoothly through secular Uzbekistan than supplies have moved through Pakistan. But a question for practitioners of realpolitik is why the US  considers it necessary to validate the unpopular Uzbek leadership now that it is politically expedient to do so."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It also prompts another question. The US is scheduled to withdraw from Afghanistan by 2014. If they're really leaving, why do they care so much about the NCN? Is a soon-to-be abandoned supply route worth dealing with a man like Karimov?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dichotomous US approaches to Gaddafi and Karimov - kill one, pay millions to the other - were pointed out in an eerily-prescient Uznews.net piece published on February 22, 2011, at the commencement of the NATO air campaign in Libya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The regime of Muammar Gaddafi in Libya is using the whole power of its armed forces, including artillery, air forces and foreign mercenaries, to crush the ongoing protests in the country; &lt;strong&gt;Uzbek President Islam Karimov used similar tactics in Andijan in 2005,&lt;/strong&gt;" reported Uznews. "The developments in Libya are reminiscent of the government crushing of a rally in Andijan on 13 May 2005.&lt;strong&gt; Gaddafi, like Islam Karimov, is not allowing foreign journalists into the country, blocking the internet and telecommunications and calling protesters 'terrorists'.&lt;/strong&gt; He appeared on national television yesterday and called foreign news channels 'dogs'. Like Karimov, he is not considering negotiations as an option and is not willing to fulfill even parts of demands of protesters; he is offering a bloodbath instead … Like in Libya now, according to Uzbek opposition leaders, Uzbek authorities also hired foreign mercenaries: one of them was Tajik Colonel Makhmud Khudoyberganov, who was living in Uzbekistan after a failed coup d’état in Tajikistan in 1998."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Surely Secretary Clinton read her own State Department's recent report on Uzbekistan, which accuses the Karimov regime of "&lt;strong&gt;Instances of torture and mistreatment of detainees by security forces; incommunicado and prolonged detention; arbitrary arrest and detention; denial of due process and fair trial; restrictions on freedom of speech, press, assembly, and association; governmental control of civil society activity; restrictions on religious freedom including harassment and imprisonment of religious minority group members; and government-compelled forced labour in cotton harvesting.&lt;/strong&gt;"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;""But we have also learned over the years that after a while, after you've made your strong objections, if you have no contact, you have no influence."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hilary Clinton on countries with poor human rights records&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;"Amnesty International and other groups have documented specific cases. In the summer of 2002, Amnesty International reported, Fatima Mukhadirova, a 62-year-old Tashkent shopkeeper, was sentenced to six years of hard labour after denouncing the government for the death of her son, Muzafar Avozov, in a Tashkent prison," says a May 1, 2005 report in The New York Times. "An independent examination of photographs of the body, conducted by the University of Glasgow, showed that Mr Avozov &lt;strong&gt;died after being immersed in boiling water,&lt;/strong&gt; human rights groups reported. The examination said his head had been beaten and his fingernails removed."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;According to Uzbeks, live boiling was a common practice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roadblocks ahead&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The relationship between the US and Uzbekistan is problematic," the 2005 Times article quoted a Human Rights Watch official as saying. "It can be useful that the US is powerful enough to push for certain concessions. That being said, the US should not be saying that Karimov is a partner, is an ally, is a friend. The US should send the message that Uzbekistan won't be considered to be a good ally of the United States unless it respects human rights at home."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During Clinton's trip to Tashkent last week, she defended the US policy of engagement. "I can assure you that we have raised all of the human rights issues in Uzbekistan and elsewhere," she said in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, another country with a poor human rights record. "But we have also learned over the years that after a while, after you've made your strong objections, if you have no contact, you have no influence."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clinton didn't say why contact and influence were good for Karimov's Uzbekistan, but not Gaddafi's Libya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ted Rall is an American political cartoonist, columnist and author.

Kalau ia seorang yang berdusta maka dia lah yang akan menanggung dosa dustanya itu, dan kalau ia seorang yang benar nescaya kamu akan ditimpa oleh sebahagian dari (azab) yang dijanjikannya kepada kamu. Sesungguhnya Allah tidak memberi hidayah petunjuk kepada orang yang melampaui batas, lagi pendusta." (al-Mu'min, 40: 28)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pelanggaran terhadap "demokrasi ilmu" yang menyintap hati warga akademik, para ilmuan, pelajar dan masyarakat yang cintakan kebebasan ilmu. Sungguh mengejutkan, apabila Prof Dr Abdul Aziz Bari digantung tugas oleh Universiti Islam Antarabangsa (UIA) hanya kerana membuat kenyataan untuk membetulkan kekeliruan yang timbul. Ia hanya mengeluarkan pandangan sebagai ahli akademik yang mempunyai kepakaran dalam bidang undang-undang perlembagaan. Beliau telah menyumbangkan kepakarannya dan membuat banyak kenyataan dan  telah siarkan dalam pelbagai media. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sebagai pakar undang-undang Prof Dr Abdul Aziz bukanlah melakukan jenayah melainkan beliau hanya mengeluarkan pandangan dan kritikan berasaskan ilmu dan kepakarannya. Walapun kenyataan beliau menyentuh pihak tertentu seperti sultan dan pihak kerajaan, namun terang dan jelas kenyataan beliau masih dalam kerangka disiplin ilmu. Cuma yang berbeza disiplin ilmu yang dipegangnya berlainan dengan landasan ilmu pihak-pihak lain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sarjana dan ilmuan atau pakar bidang melandaskan pandangan dan pendapat dalam bidangnya secara jujur dan amanah adalah satu langkah yang bijak dan menepati disiplin ilmu sekalipun pandangan dan pendapat tersebut membuka ruang perbahasan dan perdebatan yang hebat. Namun yakinilah ia masih berada digelanggang ilmu dan disiplin para cendekiawan. Hujah dan debat adalah proses mencari kebenaran untuk menyuburkan minda dan kematangan. Prinsip keilmuan di mana-mana universiti dalam dunia ini ialah "hujah lawan hujah" atau "fakta lawan fakta" bukan "hujah lawan cerca"atau "fakta lawan kekerasan".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kebebasan akademik ini telah disaran oleh UNESCO melalui peruntukan dalam "&lt;em&gt;Recommendation Concerning the Status of Higher Education Teaching Personnel&lt;/em&gt;" yang dihasilkan melalui persidangan UNESCO pada 11 November 1997, seperti dalam Artikel 26 dan 27 yang berbunyi:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;em&gt;the right to contribute to social change through freely expressing their opinion of state policies and of policies affecting higher education&lt;/em&gt;".  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pada hemat PKA UTM, Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia, masih belum mampu menepati kualiti sebuah gedung ilmu yang bertaraf antarabangsa apabila melayani desakan pihak luar, mengambil tindakan menggantung tugas Prof Dr. Aziz Bari. Sekiranya amalan ini berterusan, maka masa depan universiti-universiti di Malaysia akan terus tersingkir dari senarai kelompok 400 atau 500 buah universiti terbaik dunia. Pendirian PKA selaras dengan kenyataan Timbalan Menteri Pengajian Tinggi, Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah yang turut menyuarakan rasa 'terganggu dan sedih mendengar kes tersebut'. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sehubungan dengan itu sebagai warga akademik kami turut amat tersinggung dan teruja dengan perkembangan ini. Ia budaya yang tidak sihat dan amalan yang menyalahi disiplin yang murni serta mencabar kewibawaan imuan. Mahasiswanya dibelenggu dengan AUKU dan aku janji, kini pensyarahnya pula berdepan dengan tindakan yang mencemar kebebasan akademik. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sehubungan itu, PKA UTM berdoa dan berharap semoga Prof. Dr. Abdul Aziz Bari segera dibebaskan dan penggantungannya ditarik balik.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PM Dr Aminuddin Ruskam&lt;br /&gt;Presiden Persatuan Kakitangan Akademik Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (PKA UTM).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23795533-8540749366157048485?l=malaysia-baru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/feeds/8540749366157048485/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23795533&amp;postID=8540749366157048485&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/8540749366157048485'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/8540749366157048485'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/2011/10/pendirian-pka-utm-academic-freedom-for.html' title='Pendirian PKA UTM: Academic Freedom for Professor Abdul Aziz Bari'/><author><name>malaysia baru</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23795533.post-6190189953079370948</id><published>2011-10-31T15:27:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-10-31T15:32:33.943+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Audit: Kalau negara lain, sudah lama BN dihukum</title><content type='html'>TEMERLOH, 30 Okt: Setiausaha Agung Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), Saifuddin Nasution Ismail berkata, jika di negara lain, kerajaan BN yang ada sudah lama dihukum oleh rakyat berikutan perbelanjaan boros dan tidak berhemat menguruskan wang negara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tambah Ahli Parlimen Machang itu, malangnya di negara ini rakyat seolah-olah tidak prihatin menyebabkan penyelewengan dan ketirisan makin menjadi-jadi walaupun setiap tahun ditegur oleh Ketua Audit Negara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Laporan Ketua Audit Negara (LKAN) Tahun 2010 yang baru kami ahli-ahli parlimen terima minggu lalu mendedahkan pelbagai kepincangan pengurusan dalam agensi kerajaan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Sebagai contoh Giat Mara membeli gula 150 kilogram dengan wang sebanyak RM25,000, ini bermakna gula yang berharga RM2.30 menjadi RM170 sekilo.

How the Ennahda movement of Tunisia and the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt respond to the challenges will determine the future of both the Arab Spring and the Islamists.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Islamist political movements in Tunisia and Egypt are poised to come to power through the electoral process. This is a new challenge for democracy expected to emerge from the Arab Spring. The question is whether Islamists, once in power, will remain committed to and respectful of democratic institutions and processes. As such, it is also a challenge for Islamists as well, who used to be excluded and oppressed by the prevailing authoritarian regimes in the region.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a challenge for Islamists to adapt themselves to the new circumstances. Their ability to change is being tested. Political Islamism is designed as an opposition movement. In an authoritarian political environment where all dissenting voices were suppressed, an opposition in the name of Islam was the only remaining ground to challenge the oppressive governments. This is what happened in almost all Muslim countries in the Middle East. Opposition in the name of Islam appeared as the only legitimate form of opposition, with discursive superiority over authoritarian ruling regimes, and it also promised strong popular support, given the influence of religion in the formation of Muslims identities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus from the 1970s onwards, political Islam emerged as a platform for opposition, a kind of protest movement challenging the established order. It called for change in the midst of the stagnant political orders of Arab authoritarianism. Following the failures of Arab nationalism and other secular ideologies, the simple slogan of “Islam is the solution” made sense to the Arab masses and attracted them. It was expected to resolve all the problems of the Muslims, from unemployment to healthcare, from education to housing. Islamism was the blueprint. What the secular-nationalist Arab regimes failed to produce was to be provided by the Islamists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Islamist opposition movements, however, never developed a comprehensive program on how to resolve all the problems the people encountered. It did not really matter because the authoritarian Arab regimes never allowed them to perform in government. And it was unlikely for the Islamists to one day be in a position to make good on their promises. The Islamists in the region remained for a very long period in opposition, a position in which they could freely criticize the regimes without having to offer anything as an alternative. This was really comfortable. They did not have to offer something concrete in terms of programs and projects as a solution to the problems of the people. They remained in the opposition, comfortably criticizing the government in a way that also increased radicalism and the sweeping political stance of the Islamists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was not therefore only the oppression the Islamists experienced that radicalized them, but also the absence of governmental responsibility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the Arab Spring the Islamists now face, at least in Tunisia and Egypt, a new situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, they have been freed from governmental oppression. Now they are in a position to express themselves and appeal to the masses with a positive agenda, not just a series of criticisms directed against the ruling regimes, as in the old days. So they have to develop reasonable programs and come up with sensible projects to address the problems of the people. The old days in which mere criticism of the regimes and an assertion that “Islam is the solution” are gone, and this will not be enough to come to and then remain in power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus the Islamists in the region face their first serious challenge before the people. Will they be able to deliver what they promise?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the question. In opposition they were radical, uncompromising and comfortable. When they are in power on their own or share it with others on the political terrain, things will be fundamentally different. Responsibility in government requires meeting demands and delivering services. What also changes under governmental responsibility is the radicalism of the Islamists, who will not be able to hold on to their radical political stance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This will be so because people who bring the Islamists to power will not be satisfied by a mere radical rhetoric; they will also ask for concrete achievements in delivering services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, as the Islamists get closer to taking over governments through democratic means, like in Tunisia and Egypt, they moderate their discourse, embrace non-Muslim social groups and appeal to the West.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this, certainly the experiences of the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) will be very instructive for Islamist movements in the region. &lt;strong&gt;They should study and understand the AK Party's transformation into a post-Islamist political entity, enabling it to win three consecutive elections in Turkey. &lt;/strong&gt;The success of the Arab Spring will be measured by the extent to which people's power is institutionalized in the form of democracy. This requires integration of the Islamist movements in the democratic process, which in turn requires that the Islamists transform their political language and strategies to adopt the “rules of the game.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.todayszaman.com/columnist-261407-are-the-islamists-ready-to-govern.html&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23795533-1075486253017992162?l=malaysia-baru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/feeds/1075486253017992162/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23795533&amp;postID=1075486253017992162&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/1075486253017992162'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23795533/posts/default/1075486253017992162'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysia-baru.blogspot.com/2011/10/are-islamists-ready-to-govern.html' title='Are the Islamists ready to govern?'/><author><name>malaysia baru</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
