A sign in four languages in Singapore.

Some people have been wondering why the debate was in Chinese, not in English or Malay. There were those who said that since the two politicians were Chinese from the two political divide and they were talking about Chinese politics, so there should not be a problem. Well after more than 50 years of independence, there are some who are not that confident talking in the Malaysian lingua franca. And their own mother tongues are still supreme. Then the keynote address by the Prime Minister was in English. Woow! What a way to start a debate.

A friend of mine thought that he was following the debate through a tv channel from outside Malaysia, either in Hongkong or Singapore. He was confident if ever such a debate was aired live  in Indonesia or Thailand, he would certainly said that mediuam used could either be in Thai or Indonesian. “Well, you know Malaysia-lho,” he said. “And since I don’t understand Chinese and not familiar with the flair of the Malay interpretation, as provided by ITNM, I did not fully understand what the debate was all about.” And this friend of mine is an Indonesian Chinese. In due course both of us ended up watching one of the international news network provided by ASTRO.

Deputy Prime Minister TS Muhyiddin Mohd Yassin: Finding a solution!

Pressing time for Shahrizat the star 2 feb 2012 analysis

By Joceline Tan

Datuk Seri Shahrizat Jalil returns from Mecca tomorrow to face some very tough questions regarding her political future and the NFC typhoon that is threatening to blow her family off their feet.

EARLIER this week, text messages went out to the ladies in Wanita Umno to be at the KLIA to welcome home Datuk Seri Shahrizat Jalil from Mecca. They were also told to bring along their telekung so that they could proceed to the nearby mosque for prayers. But Shahrizat apparently did not want the fuss and the plan now is for the ladies to convene at her Damansara Heights residence on Friday night. Shahrizat has been seeking spiritual solace since the National Feedlot Centre (NFC) issue erupted and this has been her second umrah in two months. Her life has turned upside down and her political career is in tatters. She and her family are under investigation, the assets of the family-owned NFC have been frozen and a top-level team led by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has been tasked with finding a solution to the cattle rearing project.

She returns to work next week and is expected to attend the Cabinet meeting on Wednesday. But the insider talk is that she may be asked to extend her leave for another three weeks or perhaps even indefinitely while the authorities investigate. The Women, Family and Community Development Minister is at the lowest point in her life and it is a good thing that many of her Wanita Umno ladies are standing by her because of her track record as the Wanita Umno chief. But public opinion is against her and many in her own party are critical of what has happened. They are worried that the issue is dragging the party down but they have closed ranks and are keeping their opinions to themselves.

To date, the only person who has attempted to defend her has been Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin and even he clamped up after it was revealed that the NFC had used the Government loan to invest in a pair of luxurious condominiums. The exposé on the condominiums was a tipping point for the issue; that was the point when what was essentially a poorly managed project became a full-blown scandal. Those in Umno understand that projects do not always run according to plan especially when it involves live animals. But they drew a line when it came to using a soft loan to invest in high end property. It coloured public perception about the project, her husband and NFC executive chairman Datuk Salleh Ismail and their three children who are on the NFC payroll.

Her family’s role in the NFC has been under the magnifying glass the last two months. The family has been unsuccessful in countering the allegations from Pakatan Rakyat politicians. They were slow to respond to the issues raised and they have allowed their detractors to set the agenda and control the conversation. When they did respond, the explanation was always somewhat incomplete and less than convincing. Worse, each new explanation raised fresh questions. For instance, a rather flamboyant businessman called Datuk Shamsulbahrin Ismail was recently charged with cheating Salleh of RM1.7mil in fraudulent consultancy fees but Shamsulbahrin has retaliated by accusing Salleh of hiring him to bribe those investigating the issue.

Salleh’s explanation was that he had hired Shamsulbahrin to handle media relations after the issue broke last year but Shamsulbahrin did not deliver and kept asking for more payment. People simply did not know who and what to believe. On the one hand, Shamsulbahrin is an alleged conman who has been charged with cheating two other people; on the other, RM1.7mil is an awful lot of money to pay a so-called media consultant upfront. The family’s poor handling of the crisis has baffled many of their friends. They are well-educated, super-polite and have always come across as a picture-perfect family. But they seem completely unprepared for the treacherous waters they are wading through now. Their inexperience has made it easy for their detractors to veer into exaggeration and distortion.

That was apparently why Shahrizat filed a libel suit against PKR strategy chief Rafizi Ramli and Wanita chief Zuraidah Kamaruddin. They had gone to town on the issue and Rafizi has even become some sort of a breakout star in his party. Shahrizat’s aim was to stop them from making further wild allegations. Shahrizat has put up a brave front. She appeared at a number of Wanita Umno events in Pahang, Malacca and Johor wearing sunny smiles and she is due in Kota Baru on Monday. She is determined not to let the issue distract her from her Wanita Umno duties. Her hosts in each state have been very respectful of her feelings. But it is a given that she will not contest the next general election. The Umno fraternity does not mind her remaining as Wanita Umno leader until the next party election since she was elected to that post. But there is widespread opinion that she should let go of her Cabinet position.

This is the dilemma she is wrestling with. Would resigning as minister be seen as the right thing to do under the circumstances or would it cast aspersions on her claim that she is not in the wrong? The pressure is building. Shortly before she went on leave, a minister had asked her to her face when she was quitting. When she replied that the Prime Minister had not said anything, the minister told her there was no need to wait till the Prime Minister tells her to go. Politics is a cruel business and to be fair to Shahrizat, she had sought an appointment with the Prime Minister shortly after the issue erupted in November and offered to resign all her posts. The Prime Minister had apparently told her to keep cool and hold on. But, said an insider, few had imagined it would escalate into something so big and complicated.

Things are still spiralling downhill and the scary part is that the issue may not have hit rock-bottom yet. The concern in Umno circles is that the issue is hurting the party big time and they want it to stop. It looks like people want blood and they will not be satisfied until heads roll. Excerpts from Star Columnist, Joceline Tan, as appeared on  2 February 2012.

Comments:

Political leaders nust  always assume they have a duty to serve the people and serve they will at whatever cost. The question to everyone’s mind is how  on earth does someone get itself involved in “things” other than cattle rearing, which triggered the NFC so-called “scandal”. Shouldn’t this someone  concentrate on cattle-rearing, and nothing else.  Promminent family in Malaysian politics, I mean anybody  must stick to the original mission. In the case of NFC get more beef for local demand and not relying on foreign import

DILEMA AYAH CHIK  zulkifli noordin 1 feb 2012 Dipetik daripada Zul4Kulim, 01 Feb 2012.

Salam 2 all.

Kenyataan terbuka Datuk Seri Haji Abdul Hadi Bin Awang baru-baru ini yang menawarkan diri tidak mahu bertanding dalam PRU 13 mengundang pelbagai persoalan dan persepsi. Adakah beliau benar-benar serius? Atau adakah ianya sekadar gimik politik? Atau adakah ianya sindirian kepada Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat yang masih tidak mahu berhenti walaupun sudah lebih 20 tahun menjadi Menteri Besar Kelantan? Atau adakah beliau sudah merajuk dengan dunia politik?

Ayah Chik! Itulah nama timangan dan panggilan “manja” untuk Datuk Seri Haji Abdul Hadi Bin Awang, Presiden PAS. Siapa yang mengenali Ayah Chik pasti tahu bahawa beliau seorang pendiam. Ya, pendiam! Nampak garang dan tegas diluar, malah ada yang rasa gerun dengan beliau. Ceramahnya berapi, suaranya bak halalintar membelah bumi. Tapi disebalik kehebatan dipentas ceramah, wataknya sangat berbeza bila bersendirian. Kalau berbual dan bersembang, jarang benar nak dengar suara keluar daripada Ayah Chik kecuali ayat yang perlu. Beliau lebih banyak tersenyum disebalik sumbing dibibir akibat jatuh semasa kecil dahulu. Beliau lebih gemar bersendirian, dan menjala ikan adalah satu kegemaran!

DUA AMANAT YANG BERBEZA

Tetapi disebalik peribadi pendiam itu, Ayah Chik pernah pada suatu ketika menggemparkan negara dengan “Amanat Hadi 1981” yang disampaikan di Kg. Benggol Peradong, Kuala Terengganu pada 07 April 1981. “Saudara-saudara sekelian percayalah. Kita menentang UMNO bukan kerana nama dia UMNO. Kita menentang Barisan Nasional bukan kerana dia lama memerintah Kerajaan. Kita menentang dia ialah kerana dia mengekalkan Perlembagaan penjajah, mengekalkan undang-undang kafir, mengekalkan peraturan jahiliyah! Oleh kerana itulah kita menentang mereka. Oleh kerana itulah kita menghadapai mereka. Oleh kerana itulah kita cuba berlawan dengan mereka!

Percayalah saudara-saudara, perjuangan kita adalah jihad! Ucapan kita adalah jihad! Derma kita adalah jihad! Bergantunglah kita kepada ALLAH dengan menghadapi puak-puak ini. Kerana kalau kita mati melawan puak-puak ini, mati kita adalah syahid. Mati kita adalah Islam! Kita tidak perlu masuk Budha. Kita tidak perlu masuk Hindu. Kita tidak perlu masuk kristian. Tapi kita menjadi kafir dengan mengamalkan politik suku agama suku!”.

JELAS MAKSUD ‘AMANAT HADI 1981’

PERLEMBAGAAN PERSEKUTUAN ITU KAFIR

Cuba bandingkan “Amanat Hadi 1981” ini dengan “Amanat Hadi 2003”, iaitu ucapan Ayah Chik (pada masa itu adalah YAB Menteri Besar Terengganu setelah PAS menang dalam PRU 10) pada 18 Januari 2003 dalam “Amanat Perdana Pemangku Presiden YAB Tuan Guru Dato’ Haji Abdul Hadi Awang” bertajuk “Pilihanraya ke 11: Formula Kemenangan”.

“Justru kerana isu Negara Islam dan perlaksanaan hudud dan syari’at menjadi punca perpecahan Barisan Alternatif dahulu, maka PAS perlu membuat satu pengorbanan dan ijtihad besar untuk tidak memasukkan persoalan Negara Islam dan perlaksanaan hudud diperingkat Persekutuan. Peruntukkan mengenai Islam adalah mencukupi sekadar apa yang telah termaktub dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan dan saperti yang diamalkan diperingkat Persekutuan!

Seandai menang dalam pilihanraya akan datang, Barisan pembangkang akan menubuhkan sebuah kerajaan demokratik dan adil diperingkat Persekutuan, yang mendokongi Perlembagaan Persekutuan sedia ada!”.

JELAS MAKSUD ‘AMANAT HADI 2003’!

PERLEMBAGAAN PERSEKUTUAN ITU CUKUP ISLAMIK!

POLITIK DUALAM?

Dalam tempoh 30 tahun, Ayah Chik bercakap tentang dua pendirian yang bukan sahaja berbeza, tetapi bertentangan dan bercanggah satu sama lain dari segi prinsip dan perjuangan. Kalau ikut bahasa pasar, dua kenyataan diatas menggambarkan seseorang yang double talk”, seseorang yang “sudah terbalik kot”? Dalam bahasa politik, dipanggil sebagai “politik dualam”!!!

“Amanat Hadi 1981” mengisytiharkan Perlembagaan Persekutuan sebagai bercanggah dengan Islam dan “KAFIR”!

“Amanat Hadi 2003” mengisytiharkan Perlembagaan Persekutuan sebagai cukup Islamik dan akan didokong!

Akibat daripada “Amanat Hadi 1981” ini, berlakulah peristiwa kafir mengkafir! Keluarga berpecah. Adik beradik berpisah! Rumahtangga berkecai! Suami isteri bercerai berai! Solat dua imam menjadi-jadi! Hubungan keluarga terputus! Kenduri diboikot! Sembelihan orang UMNO jadi haram!

Kemuncak kepada “Amanat Hadi 1981” ini ialah peristiwa Kg. Memali, Baling yang berlaku pada 19 November 1985. Bila mana Allahyarham Ustadz Ibrahim Mahmood @ Ibrahim Libya, (yang mahu menegakkan Negara Islam dan melaksanakan hudud) bersama 13 pengikutnya terbunuh dalam pertempuran dengan pihak keselamatan. Turut terbunuh ialah 4 orang pegawai dan anggota FRU 5 dari Ipoh.

Setelah 30 tahun berlalu, Ayah Chik kini menjadi Presiden PAS, setelah mengambil alih jawatan daripada Allahyarham Ustadz Fadzil Noor pada 14 Sept 2003.

Sudah tentu ramai yang beranggapan sebagai Presiden PAS, sudah tentu Ayah Chik akan melaksanakan “Amanat Hadi 1981”, akan berjuangan menolak Perlembagaan Persekutuan yang “dikafirkan”, dan sebaliknya berjuang menegakkan Negara Islam dan melaksanakan hudud dan laon-lain!

Tetapi sebaliknya yang berlaku. “Amanat Hadi 2003” menerima Perlembagaan Persekutuan sebagai “cukup Islamik dan boleh didukongi”! Dan kesan “Amanat Hadi 2003” membawa implikasi yang sangat memeranjatkan ramai pengikut setia dan taqsub Ayah Chik sendiri!

Bersuaian dengan Amanat Hadi 2003 ini, maka lahirlah Dokumen Perjanjian Persefahaman Pakatan Pembangkan BiaDAP-PKR-PAS pada 18 Dis 2009 yang bersetuju tidak menjadikan perjuangan Negara Islam dan perlaksanaan hudud sebagai agenda bersama.

Ini diikuti dengan kelahiran Kitab Jinggay yang langsung tidak menyebut soal Negara Islam dan perlaksanaan hudud. Kemuncaknya ialah perisytiharan Manifesto Bersama Pakatan BiaDAP-PKR-PAS 2011 yang jelas tidak menjadikan penubuhan Negara Islam sebagai agenda dan menolak perlaksanaan hudud sekiranya mereka diberi peluang memerintah Malaysia (na’uzubillah).

DILEMA AYAH CHIK

Ini semua berlaku setelah PAS dibawah pimpinan Ayah Chik memilih untuk bersekongkol dengan DAP dan menjadikan Anwar sebagai bakal calon Perdana Menteri mewakili Pakatan BiaDAP-PKR-PAS dalam PRU 11! Ini semua terjadi bila parti PAS pimpinan Ayah Chik diresapi oleh “parasit Anwarinas” yang sudah bersarang ditempat-tempat strategik didalam PAS. Sehingga sampai ke peringkat ulama’ muda dan tokoh Islam saperti Ustadz Nasharudin Mat Isa boleh tumbang dalam pemilihan Timbalan Presiden kepada tokoh yang kontroversi Mohd. Sabu dalam Muktamar Agong 2011!

Jadi cuba bayangkan perasaan Ayah Chik sekarang? Daripada pejuang tegar sebuah Negara Islam yang mahu melaksanakan hudud dengan menolak Perlembagaan Persekutuan sebagai kafir, tiba-tiba menjadi orang yang menukar perjuangan Negara Islam kononnya atas alasan “tidak disebut dalam Quran”, dan menerima penolakan hudud oleh pakatan BiaDAP-PKR-PAS. Dan akhirnya kini menerima dan mendokong Perlembagaan Persekutuan yang “dikafirkan” dahulu sebagai “cukup Islamik”! Tidak cukup dengan itu, pakatan sokongan dan dokongan parti pimpinan Ayah Chik menjadikan Islam sebagai “alat mainan politik”, hingga Islam dilacurkan sehina yang teman percaya tidak pernah Ayah Chik terfikir!

Kalimah ALLAH digadaikan kepada kristian walaupun Timbalan Mursyidul Am PAS membantah dengan tegas dan keras, bai’ah talaq tiga kepada isteri dihalalkan demi menjaga kerusi dan jawatan, himpunan bersama umat Islam jadi ‘haram’, himpunan bersama kafir menjadi ‘halal’. Kafir harbi mengagihkan daging qurban sembelihan penyokong Ayah Chik! Kafir harbi berjoget robek disurau masjid naungan pendokong Ayah Chik! Komunis atheist di idolakan, pejuang kemerdekaan dibangsatkan! Malah sehingga ahli parti Ayah Chik ada yang sanggup mati demi mempertahankan kafir harbi la’natullah! Semua itu berlaku dihadapan mata Ayah Chik, yang kelihatan tidak mampu berbuat apa-apa!

Kemuncaknya ialah apabila Ayah Chik terpaksa membaca teks kenyataan yang disediakan untuk memecat pejuang yang sangat dia kasih dan sayangi, YB Datuk Dr. Hasan Ali. Tokoh pemimpin dan ikon gerakan Islam itu dikorbankan akibat mainan politik kotor dan sempit para parasit Anwarinas yang rakus mahu ke Putrajaya, yang melihat Hasan Ali sebagai batu penghalang kepada nafsu besar mereka! Ayah Chik terpaksa memecat seorang ikon, tokoh dan aktivis Islam yang berjuang untuk memartabat, menobat, memuliakan, mempertahan dan membela Islam dan syariat Islam. Satu perjuangan yang sangat dekat dihati Ayah Chik! Hasan Ali menjadi mangsa rakus parasit Anwarinas yang sudah bersarang enak didalam PAS pimpinan Ayah Chik. Melihat apa yang berlaku kepada Hasan Ali, Ayah Chik tahu ia boleh berlaku kepada Ayah Chik sendiri! Ia tidak mustahil!

Melihat airmuka Ayah Chik sewaktu membaca teks pemecatan Hasan Ali, jelas terbayang diraut wajahnya kesedihan, kekecewaan, kegagalan dan pengkhianatan! Sebab itu teman tidak terkejut dengan kenyataan Ayah Chik baru-baru ini yang menyatakan tidak mahu bertanding lagi dalam pilihanraya akan datang. Pada teman, itu hanyalah kesan semulajadi yang sewajibnya berlaku kepada Ayah Chik. Mungkin itu sebagai penebus kesedihan, kekecewaan, kegagalan dan pengkhianatan yang telah berlaku. Cuma teman berpendapat pada peringkat ini Ayah Chik mempunyai tiga pilihan.

Pertama, Ayah Chik boleh terus bersama dengan para parasit Anwarinas didalam pakatan BiaDAP-PKR-PAS dan menelan sahaja segala maruah dan harga diri, dan persetankan segala perjuangan. Yang penting Putrajaya! Yang penting dapat kuasa! Yang penting dapat jawatan, habuan & kedudukan! Tetapi teman yakin Ayah Chik tidak akan ambil pilihan itu. Kerana berbuat sebegitu sama saperti dia “kencing” diatas kubor para pejuang Islam sebelum ini, yang antara mereka mati terkorban kerana perjuangan yang diyakini! Ayah Chik tidak akan sanggup melihat darah Ustadz Ibrahim mengalir sia-sia! Ayah Chik tidak akan sanggup membiarkan airmata Ustadz Fadzil Noor menitis tanpa pembelaan! Maka Ayah Chik punya pilihan kedua! Iaitu menjadi Saidina ‘Umar dengan memancung semua para parasitus Anwarinas dan bermufaraqah daripada manusia yang ditabal bininya sebagai anugerah tuhan, yang telah merosakkan perjuangan murni Ayah Chik selama ini! Ini adalah tindakan yang akan menebus semua maruah dan harga diri Ayah Chik yang sudah tercalar-balar akibat persekongkolan dengan para parasit ini. Teman yakin kalau ini berjaya dilakukan, nama Ayah Chik pasti akan dicatat dalam sejarah sebagai Singa ALLAH!

Jika Ayah Chik tidak ada keberanian itu, maka pilihan ketiga yang ada kepada Ayah Chik ialah untuk mengundur diri secara senyap sunyi, membawa diri ke perkampungan Rusila, dan meneruskan kehidupan sebagai imam Masjid, dengan kuliah agama diselang-seli dengan khutbah di mimbar. Mungkin Ayah Chik boleh meneruskan hobi menjala yang menjadi kegemaran sekian lama! Apa pun, sebagai orang yang pernah mendampingi Ayah Chik, pernah bersama dipentas ceramah, teman sedih melihat penghujung perjuangan Ayah Chik yang tidak kesampaian. Malah menjadi terbalik kong!

Addeneul naseehah – agama itu nasihat, sabda Rasulullah saw.

Sebab itu nasihat teman kepada Ayah Chik, sebelum mengambil sebarang keputusan, perbanyakkanlah solat istikharah, mintalah ALLAH memberikan pilihan yang terbaik untuk kesinambungan perjuangan. Pohonlah kepada ALLAH dengan doa saperti berikut, “Ya ALLAH, berikanlah petunjuk kepada ku dalam membuat keputusan yang boleh membawa kebaikan kepada kehidupan ku, kematian ku, dunia ku, akhirat ku, ‘amalan ku dan ‘ibadah ku”. Dan teman nasihatkan juga kepada Ayah Chik, dirikanlah solat hajat, mohon ALLAH memberi petunjuk adakah persekongkolan dengan Anwar Ibrahim dan DAP ini sesuatu yang dirahmati ALLAH. Pohonlah kepada ALLAH supaya menunjukkan kebenaran, terutama berkenaan salahlaku seks & liwat Anwar Ibrahim. Jika benar dialah manusia didalam videoklip rakan baiknya Datuk Eskay itu, jika benarlah Anwar telah meliwat Saiful, maka pohonlah kepada ALLAH supaya melaknat Anwar Ibrahim, menghancurkan persekongkolan dengan Anwar & BiaDAP, dan memberi jalan keluar yang terbaik buat Ayah Chik dan wadah perjuangan yang dibawa.

Dan Ayah Chik janganlah risau berdoa saperti itu, kerana contoh sudah ada bila Datuk Nik Aziz berdoa memohon supaya YAB Dato’ Sri Najib pecah perut! Marilah kita berdoa semoga ALLAH memberikan Ayah Chik petunjuk dan kekuatan – ammantu billah summastaqeem!

Dari ALLAH kita datang, kepada ALLAH kita kembali Muhammad saw itu adalah Rasul utusan ALLAH!

Wallahua’lam & Wassalam!

Indonesia loses, again, to Malaysia in SEA Games final

The Jakarta Post | Mon, 11/21/2011 10:33 PM

Indonesia lost to Malaysia in a penalty shootout on Monday in the Southeast Asian Games soccer final at Bung Karno Stadium in Senayan, South Jakarta.

The teams were tied 1-1 until the extra time.

Indonesia scored early in the fourth minute with a header from Gunawan Dwi Cahyo. However, Malaysia controlled the game after Omar Mohamad Asrarudin equalized in the 35th minute.

In the penalty shootout, two Indonesian players failed to score, while only one Malaysian striker failed.

Malaysia previously beat Indonesia 1-0 in the qualifying round.

The Indonesian and Malaysian squads have faced off 13 times in the history of the Southeast Asian Games, ending in six victories for each country and a 0-0 tie during a qualifying match in the 1979 Games.

Two of the nations’ SEA Games matches were final-round showdowns that were held when Indonesia hosted the Games: Malaysia’s 1-0 triumph in 1979 while playing Indonesia and Indonesia’s 1-0 victory in 1987.

Semarang-born local soccer legend Ribut Waidi scored the only goal in 1987’s final match in injury time.

That match was also held at Bung Karno Stadium, then called the Senayan Main Stadium, in Senayan, South Jakarta.

Indonesia has twice won SEA Games soccer gold: first in 1987 and again in 1991, in the Philippines.

Very rare that we hear positive comments from Indonesian spectators if their team were to lose against Malaysia. But tonight both Indonesians and Malaysians  gave almost equally positive assessment and opinions after the game. Congratulations to both Malaysia and Indonsia. Keep up the good sporting spirit.

AIDC today mentioned about the UIA Press release which triggered thousands of students demonstrating in the campus after today’s Friday Prayer. There is nothing much to comment except that throughout the history of UIA, we know where public opinion has been tilted. Probably one has to analyze the content of the press release before making any comment. I would rather stay apolitical. Posted by AIDC, October 21st, 2011 | Double Standard Antara Aziz Bari & Rosti Saruwono
Oleh Rozaid A. Rahman – Nampaknya isu berkaitan tindakan penggantungan tugas buat sementara waktu oleh pihak pengurusan Universiti Islam Antarabangsa (UIA), ke atas pensyarah undang-undang mereka, Prof Dr Abdul Aziz Bari telah mengundang reaksi yang merentasi pelbagai spektrum dan lapisan organisasi.

Dari persatuan kakitangan akademik universiti lain, rakan-rakan pensyarah seperti Dr Asri Zainul Abidin sehinggalah kepada pertubuhan-pertubuhan bukan kerajaan dan pertubuhan politik tidak terlepas daripada turut mengambil bahagian melontarkan kritikan dan pandangan mereka ke atas tindakan penggantungan Dr Aziz Bari itu.

Malah Dr Asri mengatakan tindakan UIAM itu sebagai sesuatu yang tidak bertamadun dan memalukan dunia akademik.

Malah kalangan pelajar UIA sendiri telah mengadakan tunjuk perasaan di luar pekarangan masjid universiti sejuru selepas solat Jumaat dengan menyatakan tidak setuju dengan tindakan yang dikenakan ke atas cikgu mereka itu.

Dari kalangan pemimpin-pemimpin parti politik pula, Setiausaha Publisiti DAP, Tony Pua, Exco Kerajaan Negeri Selangor Elizabeth Wong, Ketua Pemuda PKR, Shamsul Md Akin dan ramai lagi turut mengecam tindakan yang diambil oleh UIAM ke atas Dr Aziz Bari.

Rektor UIA Prof Datuk Dr Zaleha Kamaruddin tidak duduk diam. Beliau dengan segera pada tengah hari Jumaat memanggil satu sidang akhbar bagi membetulkan persepsi dunia luar ke atas apa yang berlaku.

Katanya, tindakan penggantungan yang dikenakan ke atas Dr Aziz Bari sebenarnya bukanlah satu bentuk hukuman tetapi ia adalah sekadar tempoh untuk memberi tunjuk sebab berhubung kenyataan Aziz berkaitan titah Sultan Selangor, Sultan SharafuddinIdris Shah baru-baru ini.

Dr Zaleha juga menjelaskan, penggantungan khidmat Abdul Aziz berkuat kuasa dari 19 sehingga 25 Oktober ini adalah merupakan penggantungan bergaji penuh.

“Penggantungan itu dibuat bagi melicin dan mempercepatkan siasatan tanpa sebarang gangguan bagi mendapatkan penjelasan daripada beliau berhubung kenyataan yang dikeluarkan itu secepat mungkin,” kata Dr Zaleha sambil menegaskan tindakan yang dibuat ketika ini (penggantungan dan penyiasatan) adalah urusan UIA dan tidak mahu campur tangan pihak luar.

Dr Zaleha juga menjelaskan, Peraturan Tatatertib UIA tidak menetapkan apa-apatempoh untuk penggantungan “tetapi apabila beliau (Dr Aziz) sudah menjawab surat tunjuk sebab itu, barulah kita akan memastikan sama ada wujud atau tidak alasan-alasan untuk meneruskan tindakan tatatertib kepada beliau.” (sekiranya ada).

“Peraturan 15 dalam Peraturan Tatatertib Kakitangan UIA memperjelaskanbahawa kebebasan ahli akademik membuat sebarang kenyataan umumhendaklah tidak bercanggah dengan kepentingan universiti,” katanya.

Beliau menambah, siasatan dan surat tunjuk sebab Abdul Aziz selepasitu akan diperbincangkan dalam Tribunal Universiti.

Jadi kesimpulannya ialah, sementara pihak- pihak tertentu apatah lagi golongan akademik menegaskan bahawa ahli akademik atas sifat semulajadi kerjaya mereka harus dan wajar diberi ruang untuk menyatakan pendapat dan pandangan tetapi pada masa yang sama, pihak pengurusan UIAM berpendapat apa juga tindak-tanduk kakitangan mereka sama ada dari segi pendapat dan juga perbuatan sementara dibenarkan berbuat demikian pada masa yang sama adalah juga tertakluk kepada peraturan dan aspirasi universiti.

Pandangan ini juga sebenarnya tidak salah. Dalam mana-mana pertubuhan pun sama ada politik , bukan politik, kebajikan mahupun kesukarelawan, tetap ada peraturan dan undang-undang lebih-lebih lagi jika sesuatu perbuatan yang dilakukan itu dilihat bercanggah dengan kepentingan badan itu sendiri.

Dan inilah yang berlaku kepada Universiti Selangor (Unisel) pada tahun 2008 dan kemudiannya sekali lagi pada Ogos tahun ini apabila naib canselornya ditamatkan perkhidmatan (tanpa dinyatakan sebab) dan seorang lagi meletakkan jawatan, khabarnya akibat tekanan politik.

Walaupun pemecatan dan peletakan jawatan mereka tidak jelas dan samar-samar tetapi tindak tanduk mereka dilihat oleh pihak pentadbiran dan pemilik sebagai tidak selari dengan aspirasi universiti itu.

Dalam kes pertama yang berlaku pada Jun 2008, Prof Datuk Dr Mohd Razali Agus telah ditamatkan perkhidmatannya selaku naib canselor oleh Menteri Besar Selangor Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim yang juga pengerusi Pendidikan Industri Yayasan Selangor Sdn Bhd iaitu pemilik dan pentadbir Unisel tanpa menyatakan sebarang sebab.

“Surat itu (penamatan khidmat) tiada kepala surat (letter head) kerajaan negeri tetapi ia datang daripada menteri besar Selangor menamatkan perkhidmatan saya dengan memberi notis sebulan. Surat itu juga tidak dinyatakan sebarang alasan berhubung penamatan perkhidmatan saya,” kata Prof Dr Razali Agus.

Dalam kes yang kedua pula, Datuk Dr Rosti Saruwono terpaksa melepaskan jawatannya setelah dikatakan menerima tekanan politik daripada kerajaan negeri dan juga pihak dalam Unisel setelah beliau tidak bersetuju dengan surat yang beliau terima daripada pejabat menteri besar memintanya supaya menamatkan perkhidmatan tiga pegawai Unisel tanpa melalui proses tatatertib dan juga peraturan dalaman.

Yang menghairankan, dalam kedua-dua kes melibatkan bekas naib canselor Unisel itu dan juga tiga kakitangan Unisel yang diarahkan dipecat tanpa melalui proses tunjuk sebab atau perbicaraan dalaman, tidak ada pula tunjuk perasaan atau kenyataan protes atau kritikan daripada parti-parti politik sama ada DAP, PKR mahupun PAS.

Tidak ada suara-suara yang mengatakan telah berlaku atau wujud campur tangan politik atau kerajaan negeri dalam urusan akademik di Unisel itu.

Naib-naib canselor dan kakitangan Unisel seolah-olah seperti keseorangan di dalam menghadapi tindakan daripada pihak atasan. Apakah ini kerana yang mengambil tindakan atau yang memberi arahan supaya tindakan diambil adalah menteri besar dari sebuah kerajaan yang didokong oleh DAP, PKR dan PAS?

Tetapi dalam kes Dr Aziz Bari ini pula, apakah beliau mendapat sokongan daripada DAP, PKR dan PAS kerana pensyarah itu sering kali memberi kenyataan atau pandangan yang cenderung menyebelahi mereka?

Tidak salah dan tidak apa jika hendak memihak kerana ia adalah hak demokrasi sesiapa sahaja tetapi jika hendak bermain di gelanggang yang adil sepertimana yang sering dilaung-laungkan oleh mereka yang menyokong Dr Aziz Bari maka eloklah juga sokongan yang sama turut diberikan kepada bekas-bekas naib canselor dan pensyarah Unisel yang ditamatkan perkhidmatan, diberi tekanan supaya melepaskan jawatan dan diarahkan supaya dipecat tanpa melalui proses sepertimana yang sedang dilalui oleh Aziz Bari sekarang.

Jika ini dapat dilakukan barulah adil namanya. Sekurang-kurangnya dalam kes Dr Aziz Bari, beliau diberi peluang untuk menjawab surat tunjuk sebab dan bukannya terus dipecat, ditamatkan perkhidmatan atau dilucutkan jawatan sepertimana yang terjadi di Unisel.

Di sebalik segala kecaman yang dilemparkan ke atas UIAM, mereka telah membuktikan bahawa mereka tidaklah sekejam Unisel yang dibawah pentadbiran Kerajaan Negeri Selangor.

Malah UIAM selaku majikan berhak memberikan surat tunjuk sebab (bukannya surat pemecatan atau tamat perkhidmatan) ke atas mana-mana kakitangannya jika mereka merasakan tindak tanduk kakitangan tersebut bercanggah dengan aspirasi universiti itu sendiri.

Mana-mana pekerja pun tidak kira apa taraf kedudukkannya tidak terlepas daripada tertakluk kepada peraturan dan prosedur operasi standard. Jika rasa tidak mahu terikat dengan apa-apa peraturan dan prosedur, adalah wajar dan lebih baik tidak bernaung di bawah mana-mana panji mahupun organisasi.

Jadilah seperti Sasterawan Negara, A. Samad Said – bebas ke mana-mana, bebas menyatakan pandangan dan pendapat dan bebas naik ke pentas apa juga yang dirasakan serasi dan sesuai dengan jiwa dan hati nuraninya kerana beliau tidak terikat dengan mana-mana majikan dalam dunia ini.

Don’t tell me that all these years since 1955 political leaders of both the divide are still searching for winnable candidates. Prime Minister, DS Abd. Najib Tun Razak has hinted the need to find such winnable candidates of “high quality government and high standards of governance” material to spearhead his next election campaign.At  least one blogger, Sakmongkol AK47 made such remarks  in his blog of 18 August 2011. (http://www.sakmongkol.blogspot.com).

Wonder,  after more than 50 years, our beloved Malaysia still lack winnable candidates material, and all along relying on sub-standards. And today we are still talking about winnable candidates. Don’t tell me that all along political parties and leaders could not care less about quality and good governance.

Then, it must be true that in the yesteryear  hints  such as  “even if you choose ‘dead woods’ or ‘tunggul mati’ as candidates, your party could still win seats. At that time presumably there was no such thing as selecting candidates,  based on merits and meticulous scrutiny. Not even popularity through public opinion or positive perception. Forget about candidates with high political maturity,high  education standard, high moral values and communicative ability to empower the mass.

It was amusing though, that in those days the people used to hear outcries that  “their representatives in the House were  just warming  their seats in delight.”  Allegedly there was a case or two, who did an excellent  job of  literally licking stamps to seal off envelopes containing  marriage invitation cards while debate was still ongoing in the House.  Wow! Sakmongkol could be right when he asked  “  Just what are winnable candidates? And he answered the question himself: “It can only mean one thing. It’s a search for leadership material which is committed to a plan making this government into a good government with good governance.

“Surely this must be the foundation of a leadership committed to transforming the country. Barely what?- 2 years into his premiership, already the PM is hailed as the father of Transformation? What has been transformed other than a copious amount of announcements that don’t seem to subside, we haven’t seen transformation yet in the fundamentals- the leadership material for example.”

What Sakmongkol was asking and giving his answer to his own question as well, is just a typical of what kind of leaders the country has had for such  a long period pof time. Or perhaps such good-quality leaders that merit “winnable candidate of good government and high standards of governance” was a rare species then. Sorry to say-lah! For one thing, I quite agree with Sakmongkol about  the idea of announcing  “honourable  titles” to a leader such as “ father of this and father of that” even before any such great concept or idea is still in its hatching or formative stage to warrant such a “legendary”  status. Haven’t  we had enough of these “bapakship so far and I think let time  decide if tht or this person deserves as such. Amusingly, too  Sakmongkol did touch on  the current PM  status, hailed as “the Father of Transformation”. For all the matters we would not even know the desired end-results.Not just yet.  And mind you this “status” is only meant for “PM materials”. Sorry-lah for those lesser leaders!

Well, that is politics. It has nothing to do with good government or high standards of governance. The current political trendy is either you are a pro- establishment or an anti-establishment  block. Perception is high on the agenda list. You are either linked to a pro -establishment or you are considered an anti-establishment (meaning opposition block). Neither nor is out of the question. Full stop!

While there are some who might be willing to share that it is the government who should boost its presence in the internet in response to the new media which is increasingly popular among the younger generation. Apparently that must and should be so. And some who might also say that the government should be transparent when issuing “related informtions.”  All these comments make us feel that the government must be held responsible to ensure mainstream media must fulfill the consumer need of the young. This is because s some claim that the young “do not trust the information from the mainstream and  traditional media. They say the  young and the new media are inseparable and  considered synonymous  one may wonder their  significance and relevancy by which the government could play? And yet again it must be clear what  and who the  “government” are you referring to.

Today  there are two governments run by different sets of people. On one side there is the so-called “the government led by the majority” nd on the other there is  “the government led by the minority”.  You know what I mean-lah! And the people at large are confused when someone mention “government of the people” while in actual fact they sre referring to  “the  government led by the minority.” These are the people who will shout and brag about  saying ” we represent the rakyat (the people).

So the definition of the term “government” and ‘the rakyat”  is not clear. The armchair critics “just say the government” (which government?) and political leaders always mention “we serve the rakyat” (which rakyat:  the majority or the minority?) Confused confused and more confused. Eventually this has led us to believe that whoever control the media should control the mind and most importantly the perception. And so we come to one central issue: Is it perception or integrity that we are dealing with. And as most people say since the new media is more popular among the young does that mean the traditional mainstream media is not because its function is mainly based on integrity? How then you define integrity  in relation to information? Then can someone distinctly  claim all informations whether they come from the new media or the mainstream media are what the media jargon say “matter- of- fact information”. Or the information are just political gossips based on rumours and are spinned as “the truth from a genuine source”.

To me I would rather say what the information that we get  in the new media are still questionable becuse more often than not they a re based on opinion and will certainly create what one could say  as “perceived idea.” And presumably this will take centre stage in due course and this idea will then be picked  by the young as the true information they could not resist to hear or read. On the contrary there are some who insist such information are just hearsay spinned by some political lunatics. So it is not entirely correct to say that the “goernment” should do something to justify their thinking when it comes to fulfilling the sonsumer needs of the young in terms of the role of the new media. It has got to with the people who control the new media and the motives they would have had to help sway the young to switch side. As for the older genertion .k.a. the matured they will stick to their “sense of purpose” and will not switch to “the popular decision” of the young. Unless of course political leaders of the governments of “both sides of the divide” are competing vigorously that they must and should put their interest in the young. No matter what possible means they  can use  to gauge popularity and fathom their political strength among the restless young.

Forget about integrity and will mintain “full speed ahead” to steer perception of the young. That is the target. The young could not care less about the integrity of the mainstream media! For reference below is a report by BERNAMA on the New Media Presence with opinions from two notable personalities:

Government should boost New Media presence New Straits Times 11 August 2011

KUALA LUMPUR: The government must boost its presence on the internet by mastering the new media such as ‘Face book‘ and ‘Twitter‘ which are highly popular, especially among the young.

Institut of Mind Development (INMIND) chief executive Norizan Sharif said
the conventional way of tackling issues using the mainstream media was
ineffective.

“The government must respond to the new media, otherwise the people treat
its allegations as true.

“Currently, we don’t see the government responding in Facebook, we also
don’t see any (government) initiative in answering in blogs and Twitter. We can

see many opposition Members of Parliament in Twitter, but on the government
side, the number is dismal,” he told Bernama.

Hishammuddin said the government found it difficult to explain the situation

on the illegal gathering on July 9 despite the various existing media channels
being used, following the widespread use of the new media by the opposition.

He said the integrity of a large portion of the content of the alternative
media was questionable compared to that of the mainstream media. — BERNAMA
