| Australian High Court’s Temporary Injunction Posted: 08 Aug 2011 10:28 AM PDT By Lawyers for Liberty Although it comes as a temporary reprieve in preventing the deportation of the asylum-seekers which comprises accompanied and unaccompanied minors. A successful outcome ensuing from this legal challenge would be consistent with the spirit of the 1951 Refugee Convention. LFL reiterates its strong objection to this swap deal as the Malaysian government has yet to show any tangible commitment towards the protection of refugees and /or asylum seekers in this country. There is still no real commitment to recognise refugees under the law nor any commitment to allow them to work or give access to healthcare. The Malaysian immigration act maintains whipping as a form of punishment for those who have entered this country "illegally", this would mean a large number of asylum seekers potentially face prosecution and sentencing in accordance with present laws. LFL also finds the Australian government's reasoning that this swap deal would break the people smuggling business model is misconceived as the return of 800 refugees and their processing by UNHCR in advance of thousands of persons of concern who are unable to access registration, will only encourage others who are desperate and face hardship here in Malaysia, to make an attempt to escape and continue to seek the aid of smugglers. LFL urges the Australian government to review the deal and at the same time demands that the Malaysian government recognise and ratify the 1951 Refugee Convention as a first step towards guaranteeing protection and giving humanitarian aid to these victims of violent conflict and persecution in their countries of origin. |
| WWF asked to cut ties with corrupt Malaysian loggers Posted: 08 Aug 2011 10:25 AM PDT By Bruno Manser Fund The Bruno Manser Fund and the Australian Greens leader, Senator Bob Brown, are calling on the World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF) to suspend its cooperation with the Malaysian Ta Ann group for its close association with the Taib family, one of South East Asia's largest corruption networks. (BASEL / CANBERRA). The Swiss Bruno Manser Fund and the Australian Greens leader, Senator Bob Brown, are calling on the WWF to suspend the Malaysian Ta Ann group's membership in the WWF's Global Forest and Trade Network. In a letter to WWF International's General Director, James P. Leape, the Bruno Manser Fund is claiming that the Malaysian Ta Ann Holdings and its subsidiaries are "unfit for a cooperation" with the WWF "because of their close association with the Malaysian Taib family, one of South East Asia's largest corruption networks". Ta Ann is also mentioned for being "the major driver for high conservation value forest destruction" in Tasmania. According to the Bruno Manser Fund, the Taib family has damaged the tropical rainforests of Borneo in unprecedented ways and is responsible for the systematic disposession of Sarawak's indigenous communities. Ta Ann is one of 49 companies blacklisted by the Bruno Manser Fund for its close links with the Taibs. The company is controlled by Hamed Sepawi, a cousin of the Sarawak Chief Minister, Abdul Taib Mahmud ("Taib") and by Wahab Dolah, a Member of the Malaysian Parliament for Taib's party, PBB. The group controls 362'000 hectares of logging concessions and 313'000 hectares of plantation concessions in the East Malaysian state of Sarawak. "All these concessions have been granted by Ta Ann chairman Hamed Sepawi's cousin without public tender. Ta Ann's wealth is thus entirely based on corruption and its chairman continues to be one of Taib's closest business cronies and allies." Apart from chairing Ta Ann, Hamed Sepawi is also head of Naim Cendera, a construction company that is benefitting massively from Sarawak state contracts, and chairman of Sarawak Energy, the state's power supply monopolist. Last month, the British NGO Global Witness had criticized the WWF's partnership with Ta Ann despite the group's responsibility for large-scale logging in the Heart of Borneo, one of the WWF's priority conservation regions. – Ends – |
| Is Malaysia increasingly regimented? Posted: 08 Aug 2011 10:04 AM PDT By J. Di' Lovrenciear The world has moved light years ahead since the end of World War II. The nations that were eager and receptive to the notion of liberating its civil society have all migrated to 'First World' status.Then came the fast-forwarding advent of the World Wide Web at the close of the last millennium. It gave the laggard nations of third world ranking a break-free avenue to make a quantum leap. Many nations with right-thinking leadership saw the prudence in facilitating the advance of civil societies. They quickly recognized the meaning and benefits of true democracy and heightened civil liberties. But some leaders chose to regulate the networked society and to dispense their own prescriptions for their citizenry. The bottom line was simply all about retaining their power bases. Period. Malaysia wanted to parade to the world that it is set in becoming a 'First World' status by 2020. To justify this trumpet call, we pumped oil and rakyat money into modernizing the physical realm of the nation. And so came mega structures and "world's biggest, tallest, this and that". And the Multi Media Super Corridor too was carved out at immense cost and losses. But one thing that seems to go largely unnoticed is the retrogressive, limiting and curtailing laws of the country. That brings to mind two laws that defy the very notion of true democracy and civil liberties. These are the infamous Internal Security Act unleashed against its own citizens; and the other is the Printing and Publishing Act that virtually bottles the very machinery that has liberated the world since the time of the Penny Press. Not to be outdone, the government is breathing down the citizens' neck every now and then with this law and that law. Not just laws, but also interpretations to the stifling laws. It is all about 'this way of doing is wrong, and that way of doing is also wrong'. And so we get all kinds of directives, enforcements, raids, and what have you – all gunning down the very notion of humanity's struggles and success in giving meaning to life and living. One then begins to wonder whether all these restrictions, caveats, threats and punishment designed in such haste and dished out at full throttle is because Malaysian citizens are incapable of taking responsibility; incapable of thinking and acting with accountability; not ready to exercise true democracy; and not qualified to experience civil liberties? The on-going and unsettled battle with the Election Commission is a classic example of how political leaders in Malaysia think their followers (citizens) must think. Truthfully, if you look at reality in the eye one cannot dismiss the glaring fact that Malaysians are being denied that exclusive right and duty to act independent of stifling laws. Now the question is, in the wake of the cyber society that is turning the tables on archaic leadership and repressive socio-political environments, how long more would the government of Malaysia expect to keep its reins on its citizens? And even if it manages to do so, will it survive the eventual price of human strive to break free and enjoy the planet and its offering of a life time? Technology is already liberating humanity all across the globe. Our life styles in their own rights are self-liberating are they not? Look at the way we shop. Look at at the way we travel. Look at man's quest for knowledge, the sciences, the arts. Then why have repressive, regimeted laws and controls that inhibit citizens? A nation of people will only go the distance commensurate with the space allowed to exercise responsibility. But to do so there must be the socio-political infrastructure built on the fundamentals of true democracy and civil liberties – that which is consistent with the forward moving nations in the world. We cannot deal with tomorrow's world with yesterday's political mindsets. The government of Malaysia must face reality. Just as the Renaissance swept the world , the 'networked society' will sweep across Malaysia, like any in other nation – be it Egypt or Libya. A nation of leaders who are quick to embrace this truth will ride the waves of political success; those that try to rig the momentum will be blown up eventually by their own blinkered, mutated and self-glorifying agendas for power and control. The benchmark to see whether Malaysian politicians are learning fast is when the ISA and Printing Presses laws are repealed, along with a whole lot of other laws that yoke the civil society. And along with that a stop to all the nonsensical socio-poliical and socio-religious raids and raves that is becoming the constant of Malaysia lately. |
| How unprincipled and low can you go, Chua Soi Lek, as MCA President? Posted: 07 Aug 2011 02:56 PM PDT
Lim Kit Siang Any Malaysian given three answers to the question: Who made the allegation that DAP wants to create a "little China" in Malaysia would invariably name Utusan Malaysia, Berita Harian and UMNO although not necessarily in the same order. Nobody would have named the MCA let alone the MCA President, Datuk Seri Dr. Chua Soi Lek as it is so wild, absurd and irresponsible a charge no sane or reasonable person would make. One could disagree with Chua Soi Lek to date but so far he has kept to certain standards in his public statements and speeches. But Chua Soi Lek's allegation in Kota Kinabalu yesterday that DAP wants to create a "little China" in Malaysia must rank as among the most despicable and dastardly of lies in Malaysian politics designed to help UMNO ultras to scare Malay voters. Chua is doing both his race and nation a great disservice in making such a baseless, despicable and dastardly charge. Chua could not possibly believe that he could deceive Chinese voters in Malaysia into believing his lie – as DAP is not a new political party but has a 45-year history and record to prove that DAP leaders had never espoused a Chinese Malaysia but had always been committed to a Malaysian Malaysia where the diverse races, religions, cultures and regions can find unity and harmony through fair and just nation-building policies. The declaration of DAP leaders ring down the past four and a half decades loud and clear: the DAP does not want a Chinese Malaysia, Malay Malaysia, Indian Malaysia, Iban Malaysia or Kadazan Malaysia but a Malaysian Malaysia! Right from the very beginning in 1966, DAP had held forth a vision of a Malaysia for all Malaysians, where every citizen identify himself or herself as Malaysian first of all, bound by a common nationality and transcending their racial, religious and cultural differences. This was why in the first general election contested by the DAP in 1969 - followed in subsequent general elections - DAP fielded a multi-racial slate of candidates, Malay, Chinese and Indians with two Malays elected as State Assemblymen and more Indian MPs elected on the DAP ticket than the Malaysian Indian Congress! This was also why DAP leaders have no hesitation in accepting the definition propounded by Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak's 1Malaysia policy of "a nation where every Malaysian perceives himself or herself as Malaysian first, and by race, religion, geographical region or socio-economic background second and where the principles of 1Malaysia are woven into the economic, political and social fabric of society". In March last year, I challenged all the Barisan Nasional Cabinet Ministers to declare in Parliament that they accept the 1Malaysia definition of nation-building – but not a single BN Minister, including the four MCA Ministers, dared to contradict the Deputy Prime Minister and UMNO Deputy President, Tan Sri Muhyiddin when he declared that he was Malay first and Malaysian second! This was why Najib's 1Malaysia was quickly exposed as a hollow one, nothing more than a public relations exercise and a 1Malaysia circus mired in 1Malaysia Tupperware, 1Malaysia T-shirt, 1Malaysia Mineral Water, 1Malaysia Burger and other 1Malaysia goodies. Malaysian voters regardless of race who had voted and supported the DAP through the ten general elections from 1969 to 2008 did so because of their support for the DAP's vision of a democratic, clean, fair, just and united Malaysian nation of diverse races and religions, and not for a Chinese Malaysia or a "little China" coined by Chua. Chua cannot possibly believe that he could influence a single Chinese voter with the lie that the DAP wants to create a "little China" in Malaysia. Why then is he making such an irresponsible allegation, with the MCA newspaper the Star giving it full coverage? The purpose is clear – to provide grist to the ultra UMNO mills like Utusan Malaysia and Berita Harian in their campaign to smear and demonise the DAP as anti-Malay and anti-Islam to scare the Malay voters from supporting and voting for the DAP and Pakatan Rakyat. Already the UMNO propaganda mills, particularly Utusan and Berita, face a crisis of credibility with the law of diminishing returns working against them – with more and more Malays disbelieving their lies about the DAP being anti-Malay and anti-Islam, with their tall tales of a DAP plot to create a Christian Malaysia and appoint a Christian Prime Minister. Now, these Umno mills of lies and poisonous propaganda will get a breather as they will be able to quote the MCA President himself with the latest despicable and dastardly lie against the DAP of wanting to create a "little China" in Malaysia. How unprincipled and low can you go, Chua Soi Lek, as MCA President?

| MCA warlords go for ‘political insurance’ Posted: 07 Aug 2011 02:26 PM PDT By Lee Kee ALL is not well within the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition parties as party warlords start consolidating their alignment with Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin. Coalition party leaders, especially those from the MCA, had started aligning themselves with the deputy BN chairman in anticipation of Muhyiddin's expected rise. "This buying of 'political insurance' is necessary following growing scandals and bumbling handling of issues by the Najib (Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak) administration ," said a MCA little bird. "Have you not noticed how deputy president Liow Tiong Lai and youth chief Wee Ka Siong are scrambling to be seen in the company of Muhyiddin as frequently as possible? "Both of them actually have their own agenda but the pressing need is to prepare for Najib's possible exit. "As for president Dr Chua Soi Lek, it is a shoo-in. Chua's long-standing political base in Johor has given him the edge in relations with Muhyiddin. "Not only that. Chua also has strong ties with Umno vice-president Hishammuddin Hussein, also another Johor-based politician. "Much speculation has been posted in blogs regarding Chua-Hishammuddin's ties linked to Ecovest top brass. Ecovest is diversified company with much business interest in Johor, especially in Iskandar," said the MCA insider. The party insider said the political development and efforts to be seen in the good books of Muhyiddin showed the trio were prepared dump Najib and declare their support for the rise of the deputy premier.

| Kenyataan Akhbar Mengenai Klip Video “Sembang Rakyat – Kedai 1 Malaysia” Posted: 07 Aug 2011 02:16 PM PDT
Oleh Zairil Khir Johari Saya selaku Setiausaha Politik kepada YAB Setiausaha Agung Parti Tindakan Demokratik (DAP) mengutuk dan mengecam hebat klip video "Sembang Rakyat – Kedai 1 Malaysia" yang boleh didapati di laman web Youtube. Dalam klip video tersebut, yang merupakan hasil muatan naik pengguna Youtube yang bernama 'Kawasaki9722', DAP didakwa bersekongkol dengan ahli-ahli peniaga Cina untuk menaikkan harga barang di negara ini demi menimbulkan rasa kemarahan rakyat terhadap Kerajaan Barisan Nasional. Ini merupakan satu penipuan dan fitnah ke atas DAP yang bukan sahaja langsung tidak berasas tetapi berniat jahat serta berunsur hasutan. Seperti yang sedia maklum, antara faktor utama yang menyebabkan kenaikan harga barang di negara ini adalah pengurangan subsidi minyak, gas dan barang keperluan seperti gula. Subsidi-subsidi tersebut merupakan kawalan Kerajaan Persekutuan dan tidak ada kena mengena dengan pihak lain. Di samping itu, syarikat yang mengawal industri gula pula adalah Felda, sebuah syarikat berkaitan kerajaan (GLC). Faktor-faktor lain yang menyumbang kepada inflasi adalah kuasa pasaran antarabangsa yang berada diluar kawalan, dan juga ketidakcekapan dalam urustadbir ekonomi negara kita. Sebagai contoh, walaupun subsidi gas yang jumlahnya berbilion-bilion ringgit setiap tahun diberi kepada Penjana Tenaga Elektrik Bebas (IPP), tarif elektrik di negara kita makin meningkat. Bukankah tujuan pemberian subsidi itu untuk mengurangkan beban rakyat? Satu lagi contoh polisi yang menguntungkan syarikat besar dan membebankan rakyat adalah monopoli beras, yang dikawal oleh Bernas, sebuah lagi GLC. Oleh kerana monopoli yang mengekang pasaran beras ini, hasilnya harga beras impot di Malaysia adalah lebih tinggi berbanding harga beras impot di Singapura! Hakikatnya kenaikan harga barang dan inflasi berlaku kerana ketirisan dan kepincangan dalam dasar dan urustadbir ekonomi negara kita. Justeru, kebertanggunjawaban bagi masalah inflasi harus dipikul oleh Kerajaan Persekutuan dan bukan mana-mana pihak lain, terutamanya DAP. Dengan itu, bagaimana pula DAP boleh dikatakan terlibat walaupun sedikit? Hipotesis sebegitu langsung tidak memasuki akal dan tidak akan diterima oleh rakyat Malaysia. Kami percaya bahawa klip video tersebut adalah satu rancangan musuh politik DAP dan Pakatan Rakyat yang bertujuan untuk memecah belahkan rakyat melalui propaganda perkauman yang sempit. Berdasarkan kualiti terbitan klip video tersebut, jelas ia bukan terbitan sembarangan tetapi telah dibuat secara profesional dengan peralatan dan peruntukan yang mencukupi. Dalam erti kata lain, klip video ini adalah angkara pihak-pihak tertentu yang mempunyai sumber yang mendalam dan yang sudah kekeringan modal. Satu-satunya cara yang tinggal untuk mereka adalah untuk menggunakan kaedah yang berbahaya yang bertujuan untuk menghasut dan mengapi-apikan sentimen perkauman. Laporan polis akan dibuat pada hari ini, diikuti dengan aduan kepada Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia (MCMC). Kami berharap pihak berkuasa akan mengambil tindakan siasatan yang segera serta tindakan susulan yang sewajarnya ke atas penerbit dan penyebar klip video tersebut supaya tidak berlaku kekeliruan dan kesalahfahaman antara kaum di negara ini.

| Arrogant Chua thinks Chinese are ‘political idiots’ Posted: 07 Aug 2011 02:10 PM PDT By Lee Kee The Bernama report titled "Chinese fighting Chinese, DAP will never form the govt, says Soi Lek" insults my intelligence and those who are able to identify politicians who dish out pure rubbish. Let me decipher the report that quoted the Malaysian porn-president Dr Chua Soi Lek. Dr Chua said: "There is no way to create a 'small China in Malaysia as it is not good for the country." Whoever said that? The DAP? We, the Chinese? It is the same type of moron (Utusan Malaysia) that said Christians are trying to install a Christian prime minister. After more than half a century of Merdeka, it is clear that there is no way for any other race to be the prime minister of Malaysia other than the Malays. The Federal Constitution almost ensures this because the appointment of the PM must be endorsed by the King (the Yang di-Pertuan Agong). This is unlikely to happen, unless suddenly all Malaysians are united and think only as Malaysians, not race. As it is, even our deputy prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin has said that he is Malay First, Malaysian Second. The joke is even prime minister Najib Abdul Razak is not prepared to say he is Malaysian First, Malay second to defend his meaningless slogon, 1Malaysia. Dr Chua! You are the idiot, not the Chinese. Chua said: "MCA accepted the fact that Malaysia was a multiracial country and that what it wanted to see was moderation, not just tolerance but also acceptance of the fact that this was a multiracial country." Yeah! Please tell Umno, Utusan Malaysia and Perkasa to stop the racial and seditious slurs aimed at created racial disharmony. If you believe what you say, why have you not transformed MCA into a multi-racial party? BN-Umno is the champion of Ketuanan Melayu and you, Dr Chua and MCA are part of that too. You condone and support. Please go and tell Umno and Perkasa to be more tolerant and stop the racial and seditious slurs. They are doing a disservice to Malaysians and the country that we love. They are destroying our future, with support from MCA and Dr Chua. Dr Chua lamented the DAP's strategy in adopting a 'Chinese fighting against Chinese' clash towards MCA in winning the hearts and minds of the people. So? Is Dr Chua telling us to discard democracy and the right of the people to speak and choose? What a moron. It is such morons in the MCA, Gerakan, MIC and other non-Malay Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition parties that Malaysians are in the present political cess pool. They do not contribute constructively. They just kiss the feet of Umno warlords and hope for the crumbs to slowly, but never, turn to gold. This quote, I cannot stomach: "So, DAP has to combine with other parties dependent on the support of other races. In this case, they chose PAS and Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), so whatever DAP's promises to the community if they come into power will be diluted because the other component parties would have to look after the interest of other races." Is he talking about MCA in BN? Either he thinks we Malaysians are idiots or he is the idiot. Dr Chua, do you know what is a mirror? Go and take a look into one. Soi Lek said Barisan Nasional (BN) was not perfect but Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak was trying his best to transform the country's economy and that Sabahans should support this initiative. Najib can't even say he is Malaysian First to defend his 1Malaysia and you expect him to deliver? The IQ of Malaysians cannot be that low?

| None like Malaysia in Asia today Posted: 06 Aug 2011 03:38 PM PDT By J. Di' Lovrenciear Today, going by the race and religious dichotomies that threatens to split and tatter the social framework of a nation that has hardly flown to a developed plateau, Malaysians are being watched with great concern by our neighbors. Today, travelers will tell you that Malaysia is even being regarded with a tinge of suspicious worry considering how the country is increasingly being bludgeoned with Islam verses Christianity attacks. Today, while our neighbors are well on the highway of calling themselves after their national band, i.e. Indonesians, Thais, Singaporeans, Kampucheans, Vietnamese and Filipinos, we on the other extreme are after the Malay, Chinese and Indian throats as we are even into debating vehemently whether we are Malaysians first or race first. While political parties in Asia – especially within our close neighborhood nations, are progressing along the bandwidth of championing humanitarian and democratic values, we are screaming full throttle for race preservation fueled by race annihilation battle-cries. While our neighboring countries – Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Philippines are forging ahead, courting with religious harmony and co-existence, we are sharpening our axes for the resurrection and crucifying of one religion at the expense of another. Now for how long more can we continue to deceive ourselves by claiming that Malaysia is a unique country and therefore its race and religion wars have to be fought by the hair and throat? For how long more will Malaysians be able to endure these vexatious moments that have been dragging for over three decades and seem set to go overdrive anytime soon? Lest we also forget, whatever comes out on the main stream media is also being filtered by our neighbors. Their citizens are also riding the numerous forums on the cyber loop. Hence is it any surprise if Malaysians are being watched with immense concern and suspicion by the neighboring and global community? It is not going to serve us all any better if we deny all of these tips of the icebergs while preaching that the going is great in the country. We do not have to use the yardstick of the first-world. Just by humbly comparing us with our third-world brothers and sisters, we will know the harsh and frightening truth. In none of these countries do we hear their citizens being shouted at within the august House of Parliament 'Balik Cina-lah; balik-India lah!" Nowhere do you hear of their citizens wanting to run away from their homeland for good. They only leave short-term and temporarily merely to bring back greater wealth to their loving and inseparable home nations. But we have to set up engines at great cost to go out into the diasporas to woo and entice ex-Malaysians to return. Why? What does it tell us? We need not even philosophize. Just take the case of flying the national flag. How many times each year do we have to issue advisories, appeals, and even stern directives to fly the symbol of hope – the Malaysian flag, only to be met with cold response. But this is never the case with other nations. Thailand is a classic example. Truly, Malaysia despite all the blessings of rubber, tin, palm, oil, good soil and climate, and seas all around – is a spoilt and wasting child, politically. We have squadered our blessings simply because the powers that be propagated, nurtured and fueled race and religious divisiveness. And so today painfully the awakened and weary cry despite still having millions living in self denial – that infamous 'semuanya ok' mentality in Malaysia. Indeed Malaysia risks being turned from a rising tiger to an injured tiger; meanwhile the rest of the region will be well poised to ride the next wave of the Long Tail given the countries' loyal and united citizenry with zero race and religious blinkers. Unless we wake up, face the truth in the eye and say enough is enough there is going to be none to heal this nation. But to do that we have to ask ourselves honestly, "are we capable and do we have what it takes to save this nation for a future in history?" And who shall be our leaders to march us onward before all else is too late? |
