Isu Pengembalian Wang Penghargaan Warga Emas : 11 ADUN UMNO Pulau Pinang Dicabar Mengembalikan Semua Gaji Mereka Kepada Kerajaan Negeri

September 30th, 2010

Sekretariat Pemuda Pakatan Rakyat Negeri Pulau Pinang ingin menyatakan simpati kepada warga emas, khususnya  di DUN Penaga, yang diwakili oleh Dato’ Azhar Ibrahim yang juga Setiausaha Perhubungan UMNO Pulau Pinang. Baru-baru ini, seramai 40 orang warga emas dari DUN tersebut telah memulangkan semula wang Skim Penghargaan Warga Emas yang diusahakan oleh Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang. Simpati kami adalah kerana mereka ini telah ditipu dan dipermainkan oleh ADUN mereka yang melatah berasaskan maklumat yang tidak betul. Ini bukti jelas, bahawa UMNO sanggup buat apa saja, hingga sanggup menidakkan hak rakyat, semata-mata mahukan populariti politik murahan!

Sekretariat Pemuda Pakatan Rakyat Negeri Pulau Pinang juga merasa hairan, kenapa dengan tiba-tiba UMNO Pulau Pinang menjadi begitu prihatin tentang permasalahan rakyat? Apa bukti hitam-putih yang menyatakan wang dapatan dari sumber judi itu disalurkan kepada Program Penghargaan Warga Emas dan umat Islam di negeri ini? Ini menunjukkan sikap UMNO yang cukup gemar ‘hentam keromo’. Jika kita lihat sendiri paparan surat balas dari Setiausaha Sulit Ketua Menteri kepada Penang Turf Club (yang dipaparkan dalam pisau.net), jelas sekali dinyatakan di situ ia adalah sumbangan untuk program Rakan Anti Kemiskinan (RAK) dan bukannya untuk Program Penghargaan Warga Emas.

Kami juga sudah mendapat penjelasan daripada YB Phee Boon Poh, selaku Exco Kebajikan Negeri, bahawa Kerajaan Negeri masih menyimpan sebanyak RM2.4 Juta wang peruntukan untuk Rakan Anti Kemiskinan (RAK), tanpa mengganggu peruntukan untuk Program Penghargaan Warga Emas. Kenyataan ini juga diperkuatkan dengan penjelasan dari Pegawai Kewangan Negeri, Datuk Farizan Darus yang menyatakan wang sumbangan RM2 Juta dari Penang Turf Club itu tidak akan disalurkan kepada umat Islam dalam program RAK.

Justeru, Sekretariat Pemuda Pakatan Rakyat Negeri Pulau Pinang di sini ingin menyelar sikap hipokrit yang dizahirkan oleh pemimpin UMNO, yang berlagak teliti dalam hal agama, walhal merekalah yang paling membelakangkannya. Jika benar mereka serius terhadap perjuangan menyelamatkan umat Islam dari menerima wang dari sumbangan judi, hiburan dan arak, mereka dicabar melakukan perkara-perkara berikut;

  1. Mencabar UMNO agar mengarahkan semua staf dan kakitangan Utusan Malaysia, (lidah rasmi parti itu) untuk memulangkan semua gaji mereka, kerana ada unsur judi dalam penghasilan gaji mereka, menerusi iklan-iklan 4 nombor ekor di akhbar itu.

  1. Mencabar UMNO agar mengarahkan semua GLC-GLC di bawah pengaruh mereka agar memulangkan semua pendapatan gaji semula mereka kepada Perbendaharaan Kerajaan Malaysia, kerana tidak ada satu pun gaji mereka ini boleh dipastikan bersih dari percampuran dengan hasil cukai judi, hiburan dan arak.

  1. Mencabar agar 11 ADUN UMNO di Pulau Pinang yang melabel diri mereka sebagai ‘Pembela Agama, Bangsa & Negara’ agar memberi contoh tauladan awal dan terbaik, dengan mengembalikan semua gaji dan elaun Wakil Rakyat mereka kepada Perbendaharaan Kerajaan Negeri, sebab bagi mereka, seolah-olah tidak ada satu pun yang ‘halal’ dari Kerajaan Negeri.

Cabaran ini dibuat, untuk menjawab serangan-serangan UMNO, dan kita tahu ini adalah satu lagi ‘peluru’ terdesak UMNO yang dihalakan kepada Kerajaan Negeri Pakatan Rakyat, Kerajaan yang dipilih oleh majoriti rakyat di Pulau Pinang. Ini juga isyarat jelas, betapa UMNO-Barisan Nasional yang memerintah Pulau Pinang selama 52 Tahun cukup ‘terpukul’ dengan keupayaan Kerajaan Negeri berjimat sebanyak RM20 Juta untuk program ini, dan dengan wang penjimatan inilah, ia terus dikongsikan bersama dengan rakyat.

Cabaran ini juga dibuat untuk memberi peluang kepada UMNO membuktikan diri mereka adalah ‘Pembela Melayu yang sebenar’, seperti yang selalu mereka war-warkan. Kami juga menyeru agar UMNO benar-benar membantu merubah nasib orang Melayu dengan bersungguh-sungguh dengan membela jatuh bangun mereka dan bukan hanya berlagak hebat di Televisyen dan di dada-dada akhbar.

Teng Hock Nan Still Trying To Evade Answering Why The Penang State Government RM100 Senior Citizens Appreciation Award is an act of bribery and corruption

I have said repeatedly that the senior citizens’ appreciation program is a symbolic gift from the Penang PR state government to all senior citizens who exceeds 60 years old regardless of race, gender, religion and political affiliation. The annual RM100 senior appreciation award is not only meant for those who born in Penang but also for those who have lived in Penang all their lives. It is open to  all as long as the applicant can prove with their voter registration that they are actually living in Penang. For this reason, Penang Chief Minister has announced that the state governmnet will even pay Penang Gerakan chairman Datuk Dr. Teng Hock Nan and Penang Umno secretary and state opposition leader Azhar Ibrahim as they are also eligible for it.

It is fine if Teng Hock Nan does not want to apply as he does not need the money but to accuse us of trying to bribe the senior citizens receiving the money by dragging  Lim Kit Siang, Karpal Singh and Lim Hock Seng into the issue is grossly unreasonable and irresponsible. This goes to show that Teng Hock Nan has failed to see the difference between right and wrong.

Giving money to one ownself is corruption, it is not corruption when giving money to the people. That is why Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng is willing to be arrested by Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission for giving out RM 100 to senior citizens at the launching ceremony in Kompleks Masyarakat Penyayang on Sunday 11 am 21.3.2010. We will not bow to threats from BN and Gerakan but proceed with this programme.

If any by-elections are looming, then Teng Hock Nan can accuse the state government of trying to bribe the people with the handout for senior citizens but there is none now in Penang!  How can giving out RM 100 appreciation award every year to senior citizens be considered corruption when it is given out regardless of whether there are elections or not?

As Penang Gerakan chairman, Teng Hock Nan should retract his statement and apologise to all the senior citizens. Any refusal to do so that Gerakan and Barisan Nasional does not have the public interest at heart but is willing to politicise and sabotage the state government’s senior citizens’ appreciation award with wild allegations that this is corruption.

Sue them till their pants drop!!

March 13th, 2009

img4442“Su ka lau kor” in Hokkien it means sue them till their pants drop…The mosque authorities from Bandar Kinrara admitted that Teresa Kok had nothing to do in the case of the azan call, it showed how “misinterpreted” the police and the newspapers were at the time of the investigations. So, this can only mean that Khir Toyo and Utusan Melayu were lying. 

How come such accusations on Teresa Kok were not properly checked or confirmed at the shortest time? She was detained for a week long, just to find out that she was cleared of all charges. But wait, there were no charges required in ISA to detain you. Chia lat!

So, she was released “unconditionally”, because :-

“the police were satisfied that she was not a threat to public order and security” and that “police investigations showed that there was no reason to detain her further”.

Wah, like that also can ah………

So, in this case, who is next to be investigated or dragged into ISA for a week of questioning? Of course, Khir Toyo and Utusan Melayu. They have created a wrong picture of Teresa Kok to the muslim community. And Teresa being a Chinese made things even complicated. 

So tell me, who is promoting racial tension here? 

It is time for Khir Toyo and Utusan Melayu to “visit” ISA, a week or two would be educational.

Malaysian Insider KUALA LUMPUR, March 13 — Senior Selangor executive councillor Teresa Kok filed a suit at the High Court registry today against Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar for unlawful arrest and false imprisonment over her week-long Internal Security Act detention on Sept 12 last year.

Naming Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan, the arresting officer DSP E. Kim Tien and the government of Malaysia as co-respondents, it is the fourth such suit filed by the Seputeh MP in relation to the arrest.

In December, she had filed two separate defamation suits for RM30 million against Utusan Melayu, with former Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo and columnist Datuk Chamil Wariya being co-respondents in one suit each.

The first was in relation to claims by Dr Khir that she had backed a petition to force a mosque in Bukit Kinrara to stop making the azan call, which is understood to have led to her arrest under the ISA, which allows for detention without trial, and the second on a short story written by Chamil, the Malaysian Press Institute chief executive officer, titled Politik Baru YB Josephine, which Kok claims refers to her as anti-Malay and anti-Islam.

In October, she had also filed a RM30 million suit against Utusan Melayu and its columnist Zaini Hassan over an article that made the same azan claim as Dr Khir.

In today’s suit, she claims that she was arrested under the ISA by Kim Tien on the grounds that she had involved herself in activities which could spark racial and religious tension.

According to her filing papers, after her release Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Ismail Omar said she was released unconditionally because “the police were satisfied that she was not a threat to public order and security” and Musa had also said that “police investigations showed that there was no reason to detain her further”.

Her lawyer, Sankara Nair, filed the civil suit on her behalf at 8.35am.


MACC, whose catspaw?

March 9th, 2009

money2Just one day after Lim Kit Siang labelled MACC as the catspaw of UMNO, MACC pulls out a rabbit from the hat to somehow counter the DAP strongman’s comment. Nevertheless, it is yet to be seen if the “latest catch” will ever be prosecuted by the arms of the law. Who’s law? UMNO’s law? If so, probably nothing will happen, things will just slide away from the public’s view and forgotten.

On Wednesday, a senior aide to an Umno minister was nabbed by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission on for suspected graft. It has learnt from informed sources that the political secretary to the minister was stopped with more than RM50,000 in his car.

In January, MACC officers picked up 12 UNMO divisional officers as they were alleged to be distributing between RM 300 to RM 500 to some of the delegates who will be attending the general assembly-cum-elections.

Based on the MACC history of investigations on money politics in UNMO, none were found with corrupt acts related to the party election eventhough there were bread crumb trail of claims that money has been exchange.

How typical of a Malaysian political scene.
