Meet the man who is above the law in Malaysia!

Reproduce from Malaysiakini

The global settlement between several GLCs and former Malaysian Airlines chairperson Tajudin Ramli is proof that the federal government manages the economy with imprudence, said DAP information chief Tony Pua.

In a statement today, Pua said the government’s willingness to reach a settlement showed that large scale leakages and corruption will continue unabated because of cronyism and lack of accountability.

“If there are billions of ringgits of losses in Port Klang Free Zone project had seen former Transport Minister Dr Ling Liong Sik and Chan Kong Choy being charged for misleading the cabinet, surely former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Daim Zainuddin must be similarly investigated for possibly providing illegal guarantee and indemnity of their cronies,” he said,

Pua, who is also Petaling Jaya Utara MP, said minister in the prime minister's department, Idris Jala, had repeatedly warned of possiblebankruptcy within seven years if we fail to manage our finances carefully.

“The question is should BN (be allowed) to continue to rule after the next two elections, then what Idris had warned might just come true,” he said in a statement.

Idris had warned in 2010 that he does not want the country to be another Greece, by 2019 if the people do not swallow subsidy cuts that will see the price of petrol, food, electricity and other staples rise.

Yesterday, Tajudin had withdrew his appeal at the Court of Appeal over his counter-claim and settled the long-standing case.

However, the terms of the settlement was not disclosed despite the Kuala Lumpur High Court had in Dec 2009 ordered Tajudin to pay RM589 million to Pengurusan Danaharta Bhd and its two subsidiaries which manages the debt.

Settlement involves writing off debt

Pua revealed that the terms of the settlement involves the government and Danaharta being instructed to settle the suits at the appellate court by completely writing off the outstanding debt of RM589 million on Tajudin.

“From my sources, I can confirm that the debt has been completely written off as part of the settlement. I knew about it from inside sources. The settlement caused an immediate loss of RM589 million,” he told Malaysiakini.

He said the government must disclose why it has decided to write off the debt when the court ordered it to pay, and who is ultimately responsible for the losses.

“Tajudin has now gotten off scot free from his court-ordered obligations to pay back to Danaharta, an agency 100 percent owned by the ministry of finance amounting to a whopping loss of RM589.15 million, excluding interest.

He said Danaharta’s claims are based on claims that Tajudin had defaulted on a syndicated loan of RM1.79 billion when he took a 32 percent controlling stake in Malaysia Airlines (MAS) from the government in 1994.

Tajudin in his RM13 billion counter-suit claimed he was never meant to be personally liable for the loan as the government had agreed to indemnify him of any liability that arose from his acquisitions of MAS shares from Bank Negara.

The former MAS chairperson also claimed that Mahathir and Daim, “instructed” him to pay RM8 per share for MAS when the market price was around RM3.50.

The High Court had in December 2009, ruled in favour of Danaharta and its two subsidiaries and ordered Tajudin to pay the RM589 million. The same court had struck out Tajudin’s counter-claim.

“Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak who is also finance minister must immediately explain why the BN government is writing off the entire debt and letting Tajudin off scot free without even defending itself in the Court of Appeal.

“The decision smacks of sinister motives, especially since the government has already won its case in the High Court. The decision of the BN government proves that it is intent on letting off its cronies easily, despite having caused hundreds of millions of ringgit loss to the government.

“Where is Najib’s ‘new economic model’ where Najib declared to foreign investors that ‘the behaviour of rent-seeking and patronage will no longer be tolerated’. Or is the settlement a result of the government’s agreement with Tajudin defence that he is completely indemnified by Mahathir and Daim from having to bear any responsibility for losses?” he asked.

Pua said if the latter is the main reason, Najib must immediately take action against both Mahathir and Daim, for not only gross negligence but having wilfully provided guarantees and indemnity to Tajudin in the privatisation of MAS.

How can our Police force be better if Hishamoodin is still in Power?

Veteran DAP chief Lim Kit Siang takes a swipe at Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein for still hindering the formation of IPCMC.

KUALA LUMPUR: Lim Kit Siang has castigated Home Minister Hishammuddin Tun Hussein for continuing to be a stumbling block in the formation of an Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC).

In his latest blog post, the DAP stalwart described Hishammuddin’s statement as the strongest proof of the continuing lack of political will to eradicate police abuses and corruption.

Hishammuddin recently confirmed that the door is still shut to IPCMC and maintained that the commission would not resolve police abuse cases.

He also said that “political will” to transform the police force was more crucial.

Responding to Hishammuddin’s statement, Lim wrote: “It was Hishammuddin who led the opposition to the establishment of the IPCMC when it was proposed by the Dzaiddin Royal Police Commission five years ago.

“The IPCMC was the most important of its 125 recommendations to create an efficient, incorruptible, professional and world-class police force.”

The Dzaiddin Royal Police Commission had even accompanied its recommendation with an enclosed draft legislation which detailed the IPCMC’s powers of investigation and inquiry to help fight corruption in the force and to investigate public complaints.

Almost immediately after the announcement, Umno Youth had shot down the recommendation over concerns that the IPCMC would be turned into an avenue by certain quarters to expose the weaknesses in the country’s administration.

Poor substitute

Two months later, the Bar Council launched a signature campaign in support of its establishment with the signatures handed over to then Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

In December 2007, Parliament unveiled the Special Complaints Commission (SCC) in place of the IPCMC which was aimed at addressing misconduct by all enforcement agencies.

Amnesty International Malaysia denounced the SCC as a poor substitute that lacked independence and failed to address the need for a mechanism that demanded police accountability for their actions.

“Hishammuddin even went against Abdullah who had publicly committed himself to accept and implement the IPCMC recommendation,” Lim said.

“The combined opposition of Umno and the police forced Abdullah to backtrack and finally scuttle the IPCMC proposal.”

In June 2009, the government also rejected the proposal on the basis that its powers were “too broad and unconstitutional”.

Lim said that the recent spate of high-profile police abuse cases and custodial deaths have once again highlighted the need for an IPCMC to address these cases with seriousness, authority, independence, impartiality and professionalism.

“With Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s ‘People First, Performance Now’ slogan, Hishammuddin should table a formal proposal to ask the Cabinet to revisit the IPCMC recommendation instead of continuing to spearhead its opposition,” he said.

Ex-royal panel chief deeply regrets rejection of IPCMC

Despite Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein’s claim that Malaysian police have transformed and excelled in fighting crime, there are those who insist that the force would have been even better if the proposed Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) had been implemented.
Expressing their deep regret over government’s failure to establish the IPCMC in front of dozens of senior police officers, two former members of the royal commission on the police force insisted that Malaysians would be enjoying a better police force had the IPCMC been set up.
This position was expressed by former chief justice Mohamed Dzaiddin Abdullah (left), who had chaired two royal commissions on the police force, and former Bar Council president Kuthubul Zaman Bukhari, who sat on the two commissions.
"We heard the (home) minister really praising the police. In my view, if all the IPCMC recommendations were implemented, it will be a service recognised worldwide," Kuthubul said at a discussion session during the International Conference on Principled Policing in Subang Jaya, Selangor, today.
The two-day conference was attended by senior leaders of local and foreign police and enforcement agencies as well as international policing experts.

‘Still very disappointed with rejection’
Kuthubul elaborated that an independent complaint mechanism such as the IPCMC was a popular demand in many countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
Dzaiddin, who moderated the session, echoed Kuthubul (right), saying that he was still "very disappointed" and "sad" with the government’s rejection of many important recommendations made by the two commissions.
Another speaker, UiTM constitutional law professor Shad Saleem Faruqi, described the government’s rejection of the IPCMC proposal as a "serious drawback" in ensuring that the men in blue acted according to the rule of law.
The rejection, Shad said, was the result of robust resistance within the police force and the lack of will from senior police officers to push for reforms.
Without the independent body, Shad explained, Malaysians had no remedy if the reports they lodged with the police or other enforcement agencies were not investigated and acted upon by the Attorney-General’s Chambers.
The president of the International Movement for a Just World, Chandra Muzaffar, who was also invited to speak during the session, suggested that the IPCMC be "repackaged and reinstated" as an ombudsman that also covers other enforcement agencies in order to counter the negative perception of the IPCMC.
However, this argument was immediately demolished by Dzaiddin, who said the royal commission had rejected proposal for an ombudsman.
The IPCMC is the most important of 125 recommendations made by the Royal Commission to Enhance the Operation and Management of the Royal Malaysian Police, which was established in 2004.
Despite overwhelming support for the IPCMC from civil society, the government gave in to police resistance and shelved the proposal, subsequently replacing it with a Special Complaints Commission, a watered-down version of the IPCMC.
The second commission chaired by Dzaiddin was the royal commission of inquiry to look into the infamous "’nude squat" case, in which a video recording of a female detainee being ordered to perform sit-ups in the nude while in police custody was leaked on the Internet.

Police helpless as thugs run riot in Klang

I wonder will these thugs ever see justice??!? I guess not while BN is still in power!

From Malaysiakini

A ceramah on academic freedom was aborted last night after a rowdy group of youths wrecked and blockaded the intended venue at Kampung Idaman, Klang.

When contacted, Solidariti Mahasiswa Malaysia (SMM) president Ahmad Syukri Ab Razab said the "gangsters" had broken chairs and strewn them in the multipurpose hall before the ceramah began.

"They also surrounded the venue and we were forced to take refuge at a nearby food stall while waiting for the situation to calm down," he said.

However, the group of some 70 people, Ahmad Syukri said, refused to budge, prompting the students numbering, about 15, to lodge a police report at Pandamaran police station.

"We arrived at Pandamaran police station at about 10.30pm, the gangsters followed us and started to gather there with their motorcycles."

The incident was the second time a ceramah was disrupted in Klang, the first being a ceramah by Anything But Umno (ABU) where rowdy youths on motorcycles stormed the venue at Jalan Kebun and reportedly beat up a youth.

‘Hit by stones and sticks'

He said that due to the tense situation, local police decided to escort the students to the Klang district police headquarters for the report.

"Three police cars escorted us in a convoy of five but when we came out they threw stones and hit our cars with sticks.

Thankfully the windows did not shatter but (Kumpulan Aktivis Mahasiswa Independen deputy president) Khalid Mohd Ismath's car was badly dented, but there was nothing the police could do," he said.

The gangsters again followed the students to Klang district police station headquarters and their numbers swelled to over 100, claimed Ahmad Syukri.

"After making the police report, we were advised not to leave the police station for our safety.

"Even at 4am, the gangsters were still outside, we had to escape through another door with the help of local residents," he said.

The students managed to leave without incident and no one was injured that night, said Ahmad Syukri.

The ceramah last night was part of the students' nationwide roadshow for academic freedom. However, this was the first time it has been disrupted.

Is this the most efficient govt approval in Malaysian history!

Really how do you go through 1123 feedback properly within 4days and approve their temporary operating licence?!

This is wrong!

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 7 — The Bar Council demanded today Putrajaya revoke or at least suspend a temporary operating licence (TOL) to Lynas Corp, saying the move was “hasty” and reckless.

Its president Lim Chee Wee urged the federal government to take steps for a meaningful consultation with those likely to be most affected by the rare earth factory in Pahang, especially since a detailed environmental impact assessment (EIA) has yet to be released on the project’s radioactivity and potential hazard risks.

The lawyer was responding to news reports that radiation regulator, the Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB), had approved the TOL on January 30 despite receiving feedback amounting to 1,123 instances over the course of just four days objecting to the Lynas Advanced Materials Plant (LAMP) starting up in coastal Gebeng.

“The only natural conclusion is that the whole public consultation process is a sham and charade, in contravention of one of the recommendations of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)’s report dated June 30, 2011, which the government had pledged to comply with; namely, to inform interested and affected parties of the regulatory requirements, and to involve them,” he said in a statement today.

Lim also questioned why the federal government had not complied with obtaining a detailed EIA first before awarding the TOL, as per procedure.

“Hasty issuance of Temporary Operating Licence to Lynas without proper consideration of public feedback smacks of recklessness,” he said.

The AELB granted a TOL to Lynas for its RM2.5 billion rare earth plant in Gebeng on January 30, nearly a year after sustained public protests.

Lim, in a statement today, called the public consultation process “a sham and charade”. — file pic

AELB’s decision will finally allow Lynas to fire up its controversial refinery, which has raised fears of radiation pollution among residents of the east coast state and environmentalists.

A civil society movement called the Stop Lynas Coalition had strongly criticised the decision, highlighting the health and safety questions left unanswered by the Australian miner’s unresolved permanent disposal facility for radioactive waste.

Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai had also thrown his support last Sunday for the government to disclose the details of the license.

Lynas Corp, among the world’s biggest producers of rare earth metals, which are crucial to the manufacture of high-technology products ranging from energy-saving light bulbs to smartphones, has been trying to break China’s stranglehold on the global supply chain for the past few years.

Its factory in Gebeng is touted as the world’s biggest.

Plans to start operations in September last year were scuppered when Putrajaya bowed to public pressure and put the project on ice pending a review by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a United Nations watchdog.

Lynas Corp said last week it expects the start of operations to be delayed to the second quarter from the first quarter of this year.

The plant will be monitored for the next two years during which Lynas must meet safety requirements before AELB issues a full licence to ramp up operations.

This ain't just politics! Thay are National Issues that will effect us ALL!!!

Tony Pua has been a real blessing to the Malaysian Public. He has been consistently raising national issues that effect us all!! From the Kedai 1Malaysia to the over price Military boats! He has been a thorn in BN face!

Recently he has highlighted a 3 key issue that the BN government is doing that is very worrying!

1. USING EPF Money to loan to people for political reasons!

Its national publicity secretary Tony Pua (right) blasted Prime Minister Najib Razak and Federal Territories Minister Raja Nong Chik's “feeble attempt at justifying the use of EPF funds” for the scheme, that he said abused the people’s retirement funds for political purposes.

“Firstly the prime minister must be castigated for having the cheek to claim that the RM1.5 billion is aninsignificant amount relative to the EPF fund size.

“Regardless of whether it is RM1.5 million or RM1.5 billion or even RM15 billion, the EPF funds must be managed stringently and not be subjected to abuse,” said Pua in a statement today.

He said Clause 26 of the EPF Act permitted the fund to lend money to federal and state governments as well as registered corporate bodies in the country, but not to individuals, in this case, private home buyers.

“No where in the Act does it say it can provide loans to individuals to acquire low-cost apartments using the property as a collateral.

“Despite the ‘guarantee’ from DBKL, the loans are being made out directly to the property owners who may or may not have contributed to EPF,” Pua added.

Therefore, he said, the social housing loan scheme is in breach of the Act.

Nong Chik's flawed logic

On Monday, Raja Nong Chik reportedly announced an "easy financing scheme" for 20,000 eligible PPR tenants and potential buyers who could not obtain bank loans.

The opposition criticised the government for abusing the people’s retirement savings for the BN’s alleged “vote-buying on a whim”.

Pua, who is also PJ Utrara MP, further attacked Nong Chik’s (right) excuse that EPF account holders had no cause for concern as the properties the scheme will be funding are collateral-worthy.

“If the low-cost properties are so collateral-worthy, that the market price is much higher than the purchase price, then why can't these loans be made via commercial banks and not through EPF social lending programmes?

“If DBKL is able to provide the guarantee, and the guarantee is even "better than normal corporate property", then surely, banks will be rushing to provide the loans and not shy away from them,” said Pua.

The MP suggested the government borrow directly from the EPF instead.

“The federal government if need be, can borrow directly from EPF as it does normally, for its social welfare programmes. The EPF should not, however, be directed to provide loans directly to the general public and put itself at risk of default by the individual borrowers.”

He said that while he supported the government’s move to aid the poor to own homes, it should not be “at the expense of abusing Malaysian workers' retirement savings”.

Therefore, said Pua, Najib as finance minister had a duty to ensure compliance with the EPF act by stopping the loan scheme.

EPF abuse ‘despicable and disgraceful’

Meanwhile Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar continued slamming the loan scheme as a sign of “the abject failure of the government to provide proper home ownership assistance to the needy using its own funds”.

“This is a case of blatant abuse of public funds in the form of workers’ retirement savings for political mileage especially to win votes among the urban poor and low-income earners ahead of GE13.

“The EPF is not the personal piggy bank of the BN government,” said Nurul Izzah (right), who is also PKR vice president.

“Abuse or misuse of public funds, disguised as a social welfare programme is despicable and disgraceful,” she added.

Nurul Izzah said EPF contributors had every right to question the scheme and whether the venture will maximise returns for their savings at the lowest possible risk, as the Fund has a duty to safeguard the contributors’s interests.

“Although the so-called ‘guaranteed returns’ of 5.5 percent seem rather high, do they commensurate with the risks undertaken in the best interest of EPF contributors?” she asked.

She reiterated the fact that commercial banks staying away from such loans indicated it was a high risk venture.

Present unpaid EPF loans a lesson

She further questioned if the guarantee by DBKL was sound, as it was contingent on timely repayment of the loans by the house owners.

“What will happen if a huge number of - i.e. more than 20 percent of home buyers - fail to service their loans and this shortfall exceeds the amount of the reserve redemption account?

“Will DBKL be then able to buy back all houses for resale later? In this case, will DBKL be able to offer the guaranteed returns to EPF?

“A cursory glance at past government budgets will highlight the amount of yet unpaid loans to the EPF,” she said.

*All (including former) Malaysians must know - By Dr. Azmi Sharom*

*Dr. Azmi Sharom**- All Malaysians must know. Malaysia has never been an Islamic State as our Constitution is very specific on it. It was the Mental Mamak (our equivalent to Singapore 's MM) who lied all the way when he declared Malaysia as an Islamic Country and therefore State in 2001.

Lim Kit Siang immediately corrected him but he being the person he is insisted that he was right. Jokers like Ling Liong Sik, Samy Vellu and Lim Keng Yaik of course did not object and quietly agreed with him and so did the other BN leaders.

This mamak has damaged our country through and through. MM also passed the Syariah Law in Selangor in 1995 with the help of MCA, MIC, and Gerakan.

Ask MCA, MIC and Gerakan why they support an Islamic State and passed laws to support it, and now complain that DAP is supporting an Islamic State, when DAP has never ever agreed to do so.. The evidence is beyond doubt, it is in the public domain, ask them, the shameless ones, do they have an answer?*

*Worth listening to this recording. Our constitution is the most altered, amended, and modified constitution in the whole wide world.

We must never ever let UMNO get back their 2/3rds majority ever again. If they do, then our country will go to the dogs. UMNO will again start changing the constitution like there is no to-morrow. It will be changed to suit UMNO, just like they changed the constitution/rules/laws to allow for gerrymandering of the consituency, where a rural constituency with an electorate of 5,000voters is entitled to vote for one MP/DUN, whereas in urban localities, an electorate of 100,000 can only vote for one MP.

What sort of democracy do you call this? Can someone out there enlighten me.

Whether you're pro-BN or pro-opposition, please, do not, in your wildest dreams ever allow UMNO their 2/3rds majority. Don't ever let Malaysia go the way of Zimbabwe , Somali, or Myanmar .

An interesting speech by Dr. Azmi Sharom; an Assistant Professor of Law at UM. He explains the CONSTITUTION: the Malaysian supreme law.

Listen to this, it's interesting and refreshing.

For people who think that only BN can govern properly. Think again.

Once BN gets back their 2/3 in Parliament they will start amending the Constitution. Then we won't have the Constitution that protects

ALL.

Educate yourself about what the supreme law of the land says. Then vote wisely.

Please spread this like wildfire...make it one of the most viewed. *
