Scorpene: The People Demand the Whole Truth From SUARAM

Scorpene: The People Demand the Whole Truth From SUARAM

The scorpene submarines issue seems to refuse to submerge even when the whole truth is out.  The one thing about ‘the truth’ is that whenever people ask ‘what is the truth?’, it automatically creates a ‘perception of lies’.

So how do we decide what is ‘the truth’ when it is folded under the ‘perception of lies’?     

One thing we know about ‘the truth’ is that it doesn’t change.  It is intact and consistent no matter what words or language you use or how you describe it.

And this is what happen in what is called the ‘scorpene scandal’ where the statements from Malaysian police, the Malaysian court, the convicts, the Malaysian government, the Malaysian Prime Minister, the French Court, the French Police, the French Foreign Affairs Ministry, the officers of DCNS and now the Architect, as well as the Audit Report of Perimekar - have all fits perfectly with not a single word is out of the way. 

The French police confirmed that Altantuya had never entered France during the transaction period.  All the money that changed hands were recorded and audited.  Every single party’s involvement are clarified and justified.   The French Court has also confirmed that there was never any case and that they have rejected SUARAM’s complaints right from the very beginning.

To add cement to the concrete truth, Anwar’s lawyer at the time Zulkifly Nordin who was also the lawyer of the convict in Altantuya’s murder case had come clean about how he was asked by Anwar Ibrahim to force the accused to plant Dato’ Seri Najib in the murder.   But his client refused to drag an innocent PM into the mess and so based on Zulkifly’s own investigation he found perfect alibis for Dato’ Seri Najib and denied Anwar’s order.

And that was where he reached the point and leave Anwar for good.

Still SUARAM indirectly claim that the Malaysian court and police have covered things up for the government.  Fine.  But what about the others?   The authorities and government of France? Why would they all help cover-up a bribery that ended up in murder?   Is SUARAM saying that they have been bribed too?

And why would a convict not save himself by indicting the PM instead?

The only logical answer is that the Prime Minister has nothing to do with the late Altantuya, which also means that he has nothing to do with any bribe.  The stories are consistent so this, is the truth.

In SUARAM’s latest effort to rebut the truth, it demands Jasbir Singh Chahl, who had come in the open to repeat the same truth in NST last Sunday, to again, tell the truth!  

But as far as Malaysians are concerned, the truth is vivid.  In fact, the truth is almost disturbingly a little too clear that even the enemy can now see the detail specifications of the submarines - thanks to SUARAM.

Since SUARAM insists that Jasbir and everybody else didn’t tell the truth, then where else can we seek truth but from from SUARAM itself.   

Therefore, we hereby demand SUARAM to tell the whole truth as according to its own statements so far.  For that, we need SUARAM to answer a few questions:

1.      Why does SUARAM play down on Jasbir’s significance in the ‘case’ now, when an article in Suara Keadilan in 2012, stated that Jasbir, Bala and Dr. Setev are among credible witnesses listed by SUARAM for the scorpene scandal?

2.      Why did SUARAM announce Jasbir’s name as one of the first to have received the subpoena?  As far as Malaysians can remember Jasbir denied receiving any subpoena almost as soon as the news about it was out.

3.      Why does SUARAM insist that the French court is investigating the case when the court actually dismissed the complaint?  If the case is ongoing and subpoenas to be served soon (since a year ago), why haven’t they been served?

4.      What is the exact amount of the bribe and into whose bank account did it go and from which bank account did it come from?  This is because SUARAM keeps quoting different figures and different company every time.  (Terasasi, Thales, DCNS, Perimekar, etc.)  

5.      Why Altantuya only met Razak Baginda after the transaction was done if she was the Interpreter and involved somehow in the deals that made her think that she was entitled for the commission?

6.      Why was Altantuya never set foot in France during the time of the transactions if she was involved in it?

7.      Why does SUARAM claim Altantuya to be the Interpreter when the whole transactions were done in English and need no Interpreter?

8.      Why in the latest statement, SUARAM suddenly ‘reluctant’ to admit to have referred to Altantuya as the Interpreter?  Here’s an extract from a Malaysian Insider’s article some months ago:

“Chua singled out Document 136, which was translated from French, which details the interview between the French police and DCNS’ financial controller, Gerard-Philippe Menayas.

The document, distributed to the media today, was of Menayas’ explanation to the police of how the firm had to use other associate companies to make payments to Abdul Razak’s Terasasi.

Even more notable from the document, said Chua, was Menayas’ clear mention of Altantuya as Abdul Razak’s “interpreter”.

9.       If Altantuya was not an Interpreter as SUARAM suddenly agrees now, and that she was not involved in the transaction, how does the story of the murder and the bribe connect?  Or is it not connected anymore?  Which is the truth?

By denying the truth told by others, SUARAM is indirectly saying that they know the whole truth all along.  It would be funny for the person who knows the truth but keep harping on others to tell the truth, right?

So, SUARAM needs to tell its story by answering the questions above.  There is no need to ask Jasbir to do so as SUARAM clearly knows more than Jasbir or most probably knows better than the late Altantuya (R.I.P).  

Dr Yusri Kesal PAS (Khalid Samad) Anggap Isu Syiah Propaganda UMNO

Dr Yusri Kesal PAS Anggap Isu Syiah Propaganda UMNO

by AIDC on Jul 31st, 2013 · No Comments

SHAH ALAM: Bekas Presiden ABIM Dr Yusri Mohamad kecewa dengan kenyataan Ahli Parlimen Shah Alam, Khalid Samad yang menganggap isu Syiah yang menular di negara ini sekarang adalah propaganda politik Umno.

Katanya, sebagai pemimpin parti Islam, Khalid sewajarnya membantu membendung penyebaran ajaran sesat itu demi menjaga perpaduan ummah di negara ini dan bukannya membuat kenyataan berbentuk politik untuk kepentingan peribadinya.

“Cukup-cukuplah… Pemimpin macam beliau memang tidak patut disokong menjadi pemimpin dalam parti Islam. Saya rasa sikap Khalid Samad perlu disanggah dan ditegur oleh pemimpin-pemimpin dan ulama dalam PAS.

“Jika tidak nampak seperti PAS tidak bertegas dalam soal Syiah jika kenyataan seumpama itu tidak ditegur alim ulama PAS yang lain. Semua orang yang faham agama (mengikut) Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah termasuk PAS wajib menyanggah kenyataan beliau.

“Beliau pemimpin PAS, kenyataannya salah. Jika tidak ditegur ia membayangkan seolah-olah ini pandangan PAS,” katanya ketika dihubungi Antarapos, di sini hari ini.

Khalid, yang juga Ahli Jawatankuasa PAS Pusat semalam berpendapat isu Syiah sengaja ditimbulkan baru-baru ini sebagai propaganda Umno untuk melaga-lagakan umat Islam di Malaysia.

Beliau berkata tindakan berkenaan adalah strategi Umno untuk mengekalkan kekuasaan mereka.

Mengulas lanjut, Yusri yang kini adalah Presiden Institut Kajian Islam dan Strategi (ISSI) berkata Syiah adalah satu ancaman besar yang boleh menggoyahkan akidah umat Islam jika tidak ditangani secara besar-besaran.

“Isu Syiah sangat jelas. Macam dia cakap isu sekular dan perkauman itu tuduhan beliau kepada Umno. Umno sendiri tidak pernah mengatakan ia sebuah parti sekular. Ia tuduhan dan masih kelabu isu itu.

“Termasuk tuduhan seolah-olah Umno parti berasaskan kebangsaan itu bercanggah dengan Islam. Itu fahaman dia yang cuba menyempitkan seolah-olah dalam Islam tiada pertimbangan soal kaum.

“Kalau nak banteras memang susah untuk lakukan sepenuhnya, namun kesukaran untuk membanteras seratus peratus tidak menghalalkan kita untuk tidak melakukan apa-apa. Kita wajib melakukan apa sahaja yang mampu untuk mencegah, menghalang dan menyekat,” katanya.

Sehubungan itu, Yusri turut menggesa kerajaan dan badan-badan pertubuhan keagamaan supaya bertindak terhadap pengikut Syiah yang secara terang-terangan menonjolkan diri di media massa.

“Dah sampai masanya untuk ambil kesepakatan dan polisi yang seragam oleh pihak berkuasa agama terhadap individu-individu yang terang-terang mengaku Syiah.

“Saya tahu bukan mudah sebab mereka ada dokongan dari negara luar, mungkin bilangan makin ramai, tetapi perlu ada polisi yang seragam sama ada menahan mereka atau hantar ke pusat pemulihan atau sekurang-kurangnya menyekat kegiatan mereka sehingga mereka tak boleh menyebarkan kepada ornag lain dan memantau. Itu perlu dibincangkan,” katanya.

Beberapa pemimpin Syiah dalam tempoh dua minggu ini kerap muncul di media dengan membuat pendedahan kononnya bilangan pengikut ajaran sesat itu semakin bertambah sehingga mencecah satu juta orang.

Terbaharu, Ketua Syiah Kedah, Abdullah Hassan secara terang-terangan mengakui membuat laporan polis mengenai ugutan bunuh yang diterimanya, selain menangkis tanggapan negatif orang ramai mengenai ajaran Syiah – Antarapos

City police name “four-eyed boy” as banker’s killer

City police name “four-eyed boy” as banker’s killer

JULY 31, 2013
LATEST UPDATE: JULY 31, 2013 09:33 PM

Kuala Lumpur police have identified the main suspect behind Monday's cold-blooded shooting of banker Hussain Ahmad Najadi as Sei Ngan Chai or Cantonese for "four-eyed boy".

Kuala Lumpur CID chief Senior Asst Comm Datuk Ku Chin Wah said the man was still believed to be in the city. It is not confirmed whether the police know the suspect's real name yet.

He said the police had released a photo of suspect, taken from a CCTV footage from a camera near the Lorong Ceylon Kuan Yin Temple.

Najadi, who helped form Arab-MalaysianDevelopment Bank in 1975,  was walking to his car with his wife along Jalan Ceylon after negotiating a land deal at the temple.

The road is just a couple of hundred metres away from the headquarters of the bank, now known as Ambank Bank.

Police said a man came up behind the 75-year-old ex-banker and opened fire, hitting him in the chest and lower abdomen. The man fled in a waiting taxi.

Najadi died on the spot while his 49-year-old Malaysian wife Cheong Mei Kuen was wounded in the arm. - July 31, 2013.

Panasss...panasss..! Pengalaman Bekas Pemberita Organ PKR Tentang Kepakaran Cerita ‘Israiliyat’ Anwar…Anwar Bapok Lebong...

Pengalaman Bekas Pemberita Organ PKR Tentang Kepakaran Cerita ‘Israiliyat’ Anwar…Anwar Bapok Lebong...

Posted by: pisau in Berita Nasional 8 hours ago 0 138 Views

Helme Hanafi – Ada cakap-cakap kata ini mungkin satu kepakaran Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim yang ramai tidak sedar. Semua ini gara-gara Ketua Umum PKR itu selalu dilihat ada saja akai untuk pastikan cerita mengenai ‘kehebatan’ sepak terajang politiknya dikagumi dan menjadi inspirasi pada penyokong-penyokong setia beliau.

‘Wayang’ ini dikatakan muncul dalam pelbagai bentuk dan rupa.Ada melalui bisik-bisik,ada dari mulut ke mulut dan macam-macam lagi.Selalunya penyokong taksub akan terus percaya tanpa menilai merit berita tersebut. Entah ya, entah dongeng.

Apa sekali andaian dari gaya politiknya maka menjalarlah cerita-cerita ‘kehebatannya’ disampaikan dari mulut ke mulut oleh penyokong dan simpatisannya.

Ketika saya mula bertugas sebagai pemberita di organ parti PKR awal tahun 2001, cerita-cerita ‘israiliyat’ ini selalu kami dengar tatkala minum bersama ‘pembawa wahyu’ Anwar dari penjara Sungai Buloh..

Antara yang saya tidak boleh lupa adakah kisah seorang Timbalan Menteri yang kononnya melawat sel Anwar di penjara bersama seorang ketua bahagian UMNO, yang tiba-tiba menitis air mata ‘mengenangkan’ penderitaan yang ditanggung bekas ‘bosnya’ itu.

Kami yang mendengar lebih sedih lagi, dan sudah tentu bertambah kagum dengan Anwar.

Ada banyak lagi cerita begitu, termasuk konon menantu bekas Presiden Indonesia Suharto, Prabowo Subianto bersama bekas menteri luar Thailand, Dr Surin Pitsuwan telah berjumpa dengan Dr Mahathir Mohamad yang masih jadi PM ketika itu untuk melobi supaya Anwar dibebaskan.

Sudah tentu Dr Mahathir tidak layan.

Moral kisah itu, bukan soal Dr Mahathir, tapi soal konon betapa pengaruhnya Anwar di kalangan pimpinan Asean sehingga tokoh-tokoh politik negara jiran juga ambil berat tentang dirinya.

Dan cerita yang tiada siapa dapat sahkan ini adalah paling kerap digunakan terutamanya dikalangan penyokong dan teman rapat beliau.

Sebab itu, saya tidak terkejut tiba-tiba muncul ‘khabar angin’ terbaru yang tidak masuk akal dari kem Anwar kononnya Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak telah menawarkan jawatan Timbalan Perdana Menteri kepada Anwar.

Selain TPM, PKR juga akan dapat empat kementerian jika menyertai BN bentuk kerajaan perpaduan.

Kisah ini ‘diasam-garam’ dengan kononnya Najib menunggu untuk bertemu dengan Anwar.

Ia digoreng konon lama Perdana Menteri menunggu dan menunggu dan Anwar tidak pergi untuk jumpa Najib.

Jangan ketawa. Ini cerita yang disiarkan oleh portal pembangkang Malaysiakini.

Perkara itu dinyatakan oleh seorang penulis pembangkang, Terence Netto dalam tulisannya.

Terence mendakwa tawaran Najib itu kemudiannya disampaikan oleh bekas Naib Presiden Indonesia, Jusuf Kalla.

Anwar ketika diminta mengulas perkara tersebut dengan terus kata bahawa beliau menolak sama sekali untuk diberi sebarang jawatan dalam kerajaan, seperti yang didakwa telah ditawarkan kepadanya bulan lalu.

“Kalau ada pun kita tolak, kita tidak bersedia untuk bekerjasama dengan UMNO-BN.” kata Anwar.

Bunyinya memang hebat bagai kilat sabung menyabung.

Hello…soalnya betul ke ada tawaran seumpama itu dari Najib?

Sebagai seorang yang mengikuti gaya sepak terajang Anwar dengan dekat, saya punya teori sendiri, mengenai kisah Anwar dan jawatan TPM ini.

Teori saya begini, kisah konon Najib tawar Anwar jawatan TPM ini adalah lanjutan dari kisah mereka berdua kebetulan berada di Indonesia pada tarikh yang sama, 14 dan 15 Jun lalu.

Jika kita ingat, pada hari yang sama, sebuah lagi portal pro pembangkang, The Malaysian Insider, siarkan cerita bahawa Najib jumpa Anwar dalam satu pertemuan yang kononnya diatur oleh Presiden Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY).

Berita tersebut memetik sumber. Al-kisahnya pengarang portal yang menulis berita itu dikatakan mempunyai hubungan yang rapat dengan pegawai-pegawai Anwar.

Berita itu nyata tidak benar. Tapi tidak pernah ada ‘ralat’ oleh pengarang mahupun portal tersebut. Ia berkembang, bermutasi, ke versi baru, yang lebih sensasi lagi.

Mengenali cara dan rentak Anwar, khabar angin akan disebar dengan cara bersahaja. Entah ia, entah tidak, tapi sensasinya ada, membuatkan kita akan bercerita. Plot-plotnya tidak pernah membosankan.

Pengalaman saya dulu, beliau pernah memberitahu, kononnya ada satu ‘Tan Sri Cina’ beri duit RM100 juta pada UMNO untuk menjahanamkan karier politiknya. Cerita ini diberitahu pada saya, sambil-sambil pakai kasut hendak keluar dari rumahnya.

Ketika itu, sedang panas, kes video mengenai seorang peguam kanan yang kononnya ‘mengatur’ hakim-hakim yang didedahkan beliau.

Sambil-sambil pakai kasut, keluar rumah, selepas interbiu, keluar cerita itu.

Belum sempat tanya lanjut, beliau sudah masuk ke kereta, dan meninggalkan kita dengan kisah sensasi, yang tidak boleh ditentukan kesahihannya.

Maka sudah pasti kisah itu akan ‘disebarkan’ dengan cara tidak rasmi dalam perbualan.

Sebab itu, bila dengar cerita konon Najib tawar Anwar jawatan TPM, yang disebarkan oleh kem Anwar, saya ketawa sendiri.

Nampaknya, tak habis-habis Anwar cuba tebarkan personanya, melalui cerita dongeng, yang dipercayai oleh pengikut taksub.

Teringat dulu, tahun-tahun awal Anwar bebas dari penjara, beliau menghabiskan banyak masa di Amerika.

Satu hari beliau pulang ke Malaysia. Dalam satu majlis makan-makan, beliau cerita, al kisah, sahabat karibnya, penganut faham Neo-Con Paul Wolfowitz, ketika kali pertama bertemu dengannya secara berhadapan, berlaga lutut, menangis mengenang penderitaan Anwar di penjara.

Arkitek Perang Iraq itu, kononnya, rasa amat bersalah, kerana tidak buat apa-apa, untuk menekan kerajaan Malaysia, Dr Mahathir terutamanya, ketika Anwar dipenjara.

Sungguh sedih mendengarnya.Kesan pada yang mendengar kisah itu, di meja makan ada terdengar berbisik, “power la Anwar ini, Wolfowitz menangis dia kena penjara…” keh keh keh…

Anwar oh Anwar…tak sudah-sudah

Najib Vows to Tackle Recent Spate of “Brazen” Gun Crime

Najib Vows to Tackle Recent Spate of “Brazen” Gun Crime

The recent, well-planned murder of a respected Bahrain-born businessman in Kuala Lumpur has generated the sort of international headlines we could well do without. It has been reported around the world that 75-year-old Hussain Ahmad Najadi, who founded the Arab Malaysian Development Bank in the 1970s, was shot in the chest and stomach and died on the spot. His wife was shot in the arm by the three attackers who are believed to have fled in a taxi.

Appalled by the shooting and the recent spate of gun crime, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has vowed to get tough. "I am deeply concerned by recent developments where murders involving firearms can occur in a brazen manner," he said.

"We are ready to give the police anything it needs in its fight against serious crime."

Najib added that the Government will look at the gun crime issue ahead of the next sitting of Parliament while police investigating the Najadi shooting are speculating it could have been a contract killing connected to a recent business deal.

The way Najib has responded to this issue is the right way. As frightening and emotive as gun crime is, Governments have a responsibility to work with police and allow their most experienced investigators do their job.

The wrong way are the sort of top down interference and quotas favoured by Pakatan Rakyat, which, should it have been elected, would have ordered police away from their normal duties so that they could say there were more cops walking the streets. But as police pointed out at the time, such a strategy would have denied them key resources.

What of the office staff who take calls from the public? Or those who coordinate scientific evidence and manage the resources so vital for fighting crime? The Government, meantime, is set to make good on its manifesto promise to hire 4,000 extra police and to support these officers, and will enlist an army of 50,000 PDRM volunteers to ease the workload.

Najib has attacked the "brazen" nature of some of the recent shootings. But with his response he has also sent a message that the Government and police will not tolerate this recent wave of armed violence.

MITI Open Day ploy for TPPA??

MITI Open Day ploy for TPPA

Sometimes our politicians and government officials will meet certain groups for dialogues but content of the discussion is not made known. At times, it is requested to be kept a secret using the guise of closed door meeting.

When public pressure mounts on the Government, the Minister will say we have been engaging people. Most likely he or she will throw names to say we have talked with so and so NGOs. Even so and so have been deliberated to.

It is an old trick of governing that one can see it repeatedly happening in the British TV comedy doing a satire on government in "Yes Minister" and "Yes Prime Minister."

Continuing where we left off yesterday on "TPPA's shroud of secrecy", MITI Open Day on Thursday tomorrow looks to be such repeated ploy. The session is scheduled from 9 AM to 1 PM at Martrade building. From what we gathered, the Minister will be speaking for about 30 minutes and then split to 9 different sessions.

His Excellency 

His Excellency Dato Dr Jamaluddin Jarjis will have one special session entitled "Why I fall in love with Obama so much when he was the first person to congratulate PM for victory in the last general election, thus, we must sign the TPPA and it means a lot to my future career that Obama come to Malaysia in October?"

Just kidding and being cynical there.

Nevertheless, if you are critical on government and JJ is less than excellent in giving an answer but refuse to admit he is wrong, he will offer you to join Obama School of Political Campaign in Chicago.

His signature and recommendation carry much weight in White House. Why do you expect him to enter White House with a kris by his side in his expert required to fold Pahang samping? FoldingPahang samping is an industry in Pahang with so much Datokship being given out.

The Secret Service will not allow for it if JJ is not a close buddy and had his security clearance. Most important, Obama find his kris as no threat

Take that offer to Chicago but get zonked all night till late morning at the many legendary Blues and Jazz joints in the South side. It means you do not have to bother to wake up and hear the Obama crap applied to Parliamentary democrasy system.

Public relation ploy

Part of the Obama technique involves handling a situation when government is accused of being secretive.

PM, Penasihat and Minister can say that we held an Open Day dedicated to TPPA and so much so much people came

They will then alert the mainstream press to answer it this way. As far as the pro-BN cybertropper, they will just copy the script verbatim as long as some of them get paid.

Don't blame them for being mercenary because they have been used and their dedication not appreciated. More so, when there is so many talks of those in charge of bloggers skim a thick slab off the top.

If none gets anything and they do not get anything, they do not mind. How do they feel after dedicating oneself when someone admitted to the RM70 million bill to a third party for the BN Manifesto under the excuse of development cost?

How much does it cost to maintain say 10 Phd holders to prepare a manifesto over say three months? Then pay a couple of guys to be locked in a hotel room over a weekend to summarised it. Finally a committee of paid employee to give it a JJ or KM touch.

Read back here.

Coming back to TPPA, it is a topic most BN cybertrooper would not bother to understand, research and write.

Hope the losing team of non-practising theoretician, ineffective social media operators and some wise guys pretending to be social media experts that is holed up a couple of days in a lab will finally find a winning formula. Sincerely hope they could learn the ropes fast .

Those at these labs will realise that not much information, understanding and dialogue can get done by having nine break-up session?

Sounds like divide and rule at work.

Respect other countries

Our gut feel is that they are not going to tell anything. The reason is in this Malaysiakini report by a  loony tune reporter dedicated to spin about a dead Mongolian below:

Miti: Why gov't cannot reveal the TPPA

by Susan Loone | MalaysiaKini

The federal government is unable to disclose the details of negotiations over the much questioned Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) because it has to ‘respect the position and views of other countries’ involved.

The countries are Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the US and Vietnam.

International Trade and Industry Ministry (Miti) chief negotiator J Jayasiri (right) said the most important aspect of the negotiations is that the government will ensure the agreement will benefit the nation on the whole.

"That is why we need to conduct a cost-benefit analysis. It is our responsibility to negotiate the best deal for Malaysia," he told a forum on the ‘Impact of the TPPA’, organised by the Consumers Association of Penang (CAP) on Saturday.

"The government will decide whether it serves the national interest before signing it," he said.

"I am a civil servant and need to work within the current system.(I cannot reveal the text of the negotiations) unless the cabinet gives (me) a different directive.”

However, Jayasiri revealed that 20 questions on the TPPA will be raised during the new parliamentary session which starts today, and that Miti will provide the answers.

"The negotiation is also about my children and (our) future, (so) definitely, I (would) want to get the best deal for Malaysia,” he noted.

The next round of negotiations will be held from July 15-25, with Japan expected to participate for the first time.

Jayasiri also said Miti is not the only agency involved in the negotiations.

"Participation in the negotiations does not necessarily mean we will sign the agreement. The government will ensure that it is beneficial to the country and rakyat.

"It is not a zero-sum game, where you will not get everything that is good and other countries lose in other aspects. Many chapters have been discussed but those are references to the technical aspects, like use of terms and so on. Nothing has been agreed until everything is agreed.”

Furthermore, not all of the issues in the negotiations are being raised by the US, as other countries too have their own agenda, he pointed out.

The TPPA does not only touch on the opening of markets but on cooperation in terms of capacity building, he said.

"Sometimes, over-protection can result in local industries becoming too comfortable until they lose competitiveness," he added. 

‘Reasons to reject TPPA’

CAP president SM Mohamed Idris gave five reasons why the TPPA must be rejected, including the requirement for all governments to maintain "secrecy on the negotiating texts until four years after the deal is signed".

Idris said another reason is that the investment chapter effectively empowers foreign corporations to "ignore and override" the domestic judicial, legal and parliamentary systems.

"Other provisions could greatly restrict the government's ability to balance the protection of public interest, health, the environment and human rights against the private interest of corporations," he told participants.

"Access to affordable, life-saving medicines for millions of people is under threat as the TPPA would provide higher protections for the patents and clincial data of big pharmaceutical companies.

"This would make it harder for generic companies to produce affordable generic medicines, as well as delay and restrict access to the public.”

Idris (left) said that, if the duration of copyright and patent is extended as the US has reportedly proposed - according to leaked texts - affordable access to information and knowledge would be harmed.

There would be negative impacts on the research and education sectors, he said.

"Reducing tariffs on farms and manufactured products may result in many people losing their jobs and livelihoods due to the resulting influx of cheaper imported goods putting our local companies out of business,” he added.

Other than MiTi, organisations that sent speakers to the forum were the Malaysian Aids Council, EcoKnights, Majlis Tindakan Ekonomi Melayu, Third World Network, and Jaringan Rakyat Tertindas.

Pakatan Rakyat MPs have called for a parliamentary select committee on the issue, although the coalition has said it will not oppose the TPPA if the terms were "fair".

We take cognizance that this is a Malaysiakini report and the reporter is a nut case. Since it came from an activist website, EcoKnights and hopefully they are not some basket case NGO like the ever oppose Singapore-based batu ronsen Third World Network, we will take it in good faith till something crops up.

It worries us and the future of our off spring and nation when at best Jeyasari can only say unable to disclose the details of negotiations to ‘respect the position and views of other countries’ involved.

Oh boy! Is he saying the interest of US and other nations is more important than the peoples' right to know? If not all, at least the stakeholders!

Government assurance

He said the government will ensure the agreement will benefit the nation on the whole. The key  operative word is "government will ensure."

But, the government did not ensure the public is safe from hardcore animal-criminals by abolishing Emergency Ordinance at will and that let loose 2,600 criminals.

Murder is happening everyday now.

The politicians both government and opposition played politics to the hilt without consideration for the safety of the public. Now that murder is happening daily, they are only playing bkame and defend game.

Hopefully government could ensure on the TPPA because the the Chief Negotiator and his two other mates, including Jeyasiri does not give us much assurance with TPPA being only a "good learning experience."

When will the learning stop and real work begin?

Will it be like enacting another set of law after one have simply abolish a couple of laws and rebranding it like a pussy cat law?

In case some MITI Official feel we are being sarcastic, don't get us wrong

We are actually promoting the event. Some dude from MITI wants to belanja buka puasa this evening.

MESTI BACA! Surat Terbuka Pada Seluruh Perwira Sempena Hari Pahlawan

July 31, 2013   ·   3 Comments

Hari ini Hari Pahlawan. Setahu saya, para pahlawan kita hari ini diraikan Kerajaan Malaysia di Dataran Merdeka. Untuk itu, saya ucapkan selamat Hari Pahlawan kepada seluruh perajurit, anggota keselamatan dan para pesara yang pernah mengadai nyawa serta berbudi pada rakyat Malaysia.

Di zaman nenek moyang kita dulu, tidak wujud perkataan “polis”. Yang ada hanyalah “Panglima”, “hulubalang”, “pengawal” dan seumpamanya. Mereka inilah yang mengawal keadaan setempat apabila berlaku kekecohan dan sebagainya.

Kemudian, setelah penjajah hadir, kita dimomokkan dengan jawatan “home guard” sebelum pasukan beruniform itu bertukar menjadi “polis” dan “askar Melayu”. Semua itu berlaku sebelum merdeka lagi…

Dan kini, kita berbangga dengan Polis DiRaja Malaysia (PDRM) dan Angkatan Tentera DiRaja Malaysia (ATM). Hari ini, golongan inilah yang sedang kita raikan di Hari Pahlawan.

Dulu, anggota keselamatan kita bergelut dengan pengganas komunis yang mahu menjajah Persekutuan Tanah Melayu setelah British berundur. Fahaman dan komrad yang “diimport” dari Tanah Besar China fikir, mereka boleh jajah Tanah Melayu yang sekangkang kera ini?

Dengan berkat izin Allah SWT, bumi bertuah ini berjaya mematahkan gerakan tamak “si mata sepet” dari negara tembok besar itu dan ketua mereka, Chin Peng, berjaya diusir keluar bersama fahaman tidak bertuhannya itu…

Itu cabaran yang diterima para pahlawan kita dulu. Ketika itu, masyarakat Tiong Hua yang kekal di Tanah Melayu ini begitu hormat pada “Ketuanan Melayu” dan mereka sangat menghargai pengorbanan bangsa pribumi yang membenarkan mereka menumpang hidup di tanah pusaka bangsa ini.

Kini kita di zaman milennium. Dan anggota keselamatan kita kini menghadapi ancaman alaf baru yang lebih moden dan mencabar. Setelah komunis meletak senjata, kini semangat komunisme itu bangkit kembali melalui “senjata baru” yang begitu mengakali minda…

Mungkin menyedari kaum yang berasal dari Tanah Besar China telah menguasi ekonomi di Tanah Melayu ini, maka mereka mahu bergerak selangkah lagi dengan menguasai politiknya pula. Dengan menguasai dua bidang utama ini, mereka percaya, merekalah “tuan baru” di Tanah Melayu ini.

Buat masa ini, mereka sedar bahawa tidak mungkin dapat menguasai Malaysia sepenuhnya berdasarkan populasi Melayu yang lebih ramai. Mengejar jumlah majoriti Melayu itu, “cha ya nun alif” giat membangkitkan propaganda melalui rangkaian media sosial, khususnya melalui Red Bean Army (RBA).

Meskipun “kantoi” dengan misi-misi fitnah mereka, golongan yang dipercayai ditaja oleh “tauke-tauke” dan mendokong parti DAP terus aktif sehingga kini. Kalau ditanya pada DAP, takkanlah mereka begitu bodoh untuk mengaku kenal dengan RBA, bukan?

Bergerak bersama spesis “Si Kitul” dan “Raja Mendaliar” moden di zaman ini, mereka begitu konsisten mengejar kuasa politik di Malaysia. Mereka tahu mereka tak payah jadi Perdana Menteri, cukuplah sekadar mempunyai Perdana Menteri yang boleh “dibonekakan” nanti…

Malangnya, kelicikan mereka-mereka yang “berdarah komunis” itu cukup sukar dibendung. Macam-macam taktik yang mereka rancang dan laksanakan. Tidak cukup menghasut dan memecah belah keharmonian kaum di Malaysia, mereka hina pula Islam dan bangsa Melayu.

Bila orang Melayu dan anggota keselamatan bertindak, mereka tersengih dengan muka “kerang busuk” meminta maaf atas “ketelanjuran” yang entah berkali-kali mereka lakukan. Dan kemudian, begitu senanglah jua kita bangsa Melayu Muslim memaafkan mereka…

Kita memang terkenal dengan sifat tolak ansur dan kaya budi pekerti. Namun sifat itu ada batasnya, bukan? Dan batas kesabaran itulah yang sedang kita “jaga” dan “pelihara” supaya ia tidak bertukar menjadi satu sifat yang dikenali sebagai “amuk”. Jika itu berlaku, buruk padahnya, bukan?

Persoalannya, terdayakah para pahlawan kita mengekang “penjajahan alaf baru” itu sedang mereka dibatasi kuasa yang terbatas dan tertakluk pada sedikit kuasa yang diberi? Dipukul sedikit dengan cota, maka anggota keselamatan itu akan diheret ke depan hakim. Wajarkah begitu?

Reputasi para pahlawan kita hari ini cukup buruk di mata rakyat. Tahniah pada “si mata sepet” dan “si kitul” yang berjaya merosakkan imej para pahlawan kita. Namun sedarkah kita dengan “permainan licik” para pengkhianat Tanah Melayu itu?

Para pahlawan kita manusia biasa. Mereka punya kelebihan dan punya kelemahan. Sebagai warganegara anak bangsa pribumi Melayu, saya menggesa supaya kita kembalikan maruah para pahlawan ke tahap yang sewajar mungkin.

Ingatlah, pada nama mereka wujud perkataan “DiRaja” yang merujuk pada “payung negara”, DYMM Yang DiPertuan Agong. Hormat pada mereka dan menjadi warga yang menghargai para pahlawan juga bererti kita mendaulatkan Institusi DiRaja di Tanah Melayu ini.

Apapun yang berlaku, kita pastikan bumi berdaulat ini kekal milik Melayu sebagaimana asal namanya Tanah Melayu. Pada semua pahlawan beruniform di seluruh tanahair, saya ucapkan sekali lagi, selamat Hari Pahlawan. Hanya Allah SWT saja yang dapat membalas jasa kalian…

Ingatlah, kami sentiasa berada bersama kalian dalam apa jua keadaan yang kalian hadapi, insyaAllah…

Nampak gayanya beberapa pelobi pelobi 'nakal' yang cari makan dalam UMNO sudah mula garu kepala!

Kesempatan majlis berbuka puasa, moreh dikalangan pimpinan serta UMNO sepanjang Ramadahan ini telah menjadi pentas lobi-melobi...

Tatkala UMNO sedang membina kekuatan untuk mengukuhkan ukhwah dikalangan pimpinan UMNO, ada beberapa "runner" sedang galak sakan mahu menyebarkan berita kunuunnya Muhyiddin sudah bersedia mahu bertanding jawatan Presiden UMNO. Kerja gila...! Kerja untuk menghancurkan UMNO kearah hilang tahta kerajaan pada PRU ke 14.

Kini, segala teka teki terjawap sudah... Tan Sri Muhyiddin meletakkan kepentingan parti mengatasi kepentingan peribadi beliau. Tahniah Tan Sri...
