Shahrizat salahkan suami, anak demi survival politik

KUALA LUMPUR 23 Dis: Ketua Koordinator Jingga 13, Fariz Musa berkata, beliau hairan dengan sikap Datuk Seri Shahrizat Jalil yang menafikan isu berkaitan National Feedlot Corporation (NFC), malah seolah tidak mengetahui aktiviti penyelewengan yang dilakukan suami dan anak-anaknya.
Fariz berkata, penafian itu memperlihatkan bahawa Shahrizat tidak layak menjadi seorang menteri, apabila tidak tahu menahu dalam tindak tanduk suami dan ahli keluarganya.
“Malah menjadi seorang isteri dan ibu pun beliau gagal apabila meletakkan kesalahan kepada suami dan anak-anak apabila tersepit dengan skandal NFC tersebut demi survival politik beliau,” kata Fariz dalam satu kenyataan.

Jamil Khir khianati orang miskin, golongan layak terima zakat

KUALA LUMPUR 23 Dis: Perbuatan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Jamil Khir Bahrom menggunakan wang zakat, mengkhianati golongan asnaf yang sepatutnya menerima agihan wang berkenaan, kata Pengerusi Biro Pemahaman dan Pemantapan Agama, Ahmad Kassim.
Beliau mengulas Laporan Ketua Audit Negara 2010 yang mengesahkan wang zakat berjumlah RM63,650 digunakan Jamil dan dua lain bagi menghalang kes qazaf yang di failkan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Ahli Parlimen Kuala Kedah, Ahmad Kassim

Guna wang zakat bukti Jamil Khir tidak amanah

KUALA LUMPUR 23 Dis: Laporan Ketua Audit Negara 2010 yang mengesahkan penggunaan wang zakat oleh Datuk Jamil Khir Baharom, jelas membuktikan beliau seorang yang tidak amanah.
“Menggunakan wang zakat merupakan perbuatan khianat oleh menteri. Sepatutnya beliau (Jamil Khir) bertanggungjawab dalam hal ehwal agama islam tapi sesuka hati bayar duit zakat bayar kes guaman, walhal bukan amil (tidak layak menerima wang zakat),” kata Naib Presiden KEADILAN, Nurul Izzah Anwar.
Wang sebanyak RM63,650 itu dikeluarkan dari dana zakat Majlis Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan (MAIWP) bagi mendahulukan bayaran khidmat guaman untuk Jamil Khir dan dua yang lain.

Kempen ‘Tolak Fitnah II, Lawan Konspirasi’ dilancar 28 Disember

KUALA LUMPUR 23 Dis: Pemuda Pakatan Rakyat (PR) dan Pertubuhan Bukan Kerajaan (NGO) akan melancarkan kempen ‘Tolak Fitnah II, Lawan Konspirasi’ pada 28 Disember ini, kata Ketua Angkatan Muda KEADILAN (AMK), Shamsul Iskandar Md Akin.
Menurutnya, itu antara resolusi yang dicapai Pemuda PR dalam mesyuarat yang dipengerusikannya malam semalam.
“Kempen bertemakan ‘Bebaskan Anwar 901′ ini kita lancarkan bersama Pemuda Pakatan dan NGO di Kelab Sultan Sulaiman, Kampung Baru pada 11 pagi 28 Disember ini.
“Perincian lanjut mengenai jelajah ini akan kita maklumkan pada hari itu,” katanya kepada Keadilandaily.com hari ini.
Menurutnya, sebanyak 500,000 risalah yang mengandungi fakta sebenar mengenai kes Fitnah 2 sudah tersedia untuk diedar sepanjang jelajah itu.

Tindakan UPSI terhadap Adam Adli tak berasas

KUALA LUMPUR 23 Dis: KEADILAN menyelar tindakan dan tekanan yang dilakukan pentadbiran Universiti Perguruan Sultan Idris (UPSI) terhadap mahasiswanya, Adam Adli yang mencetuskan kontroversi kerana menurunkan bendera Datuk Seri Najib Razak baru-baru ini.
Ia berikutan surat dikeluarkan pihak universiti itu yang mendakwa Adam di bawah dua pertuduhan iaitu merosakkan nama universiti dan memberi ancaman kepada ketenteraman awam.
“Kedua-dua pertuduhan adalah tidak berasas, tidak berperlembagaan, tidak sah dan jelas tidak masuk akal. Dalam tindakan Adam menurunkan bendera Perdana Menteri, beliau hanya menjalankan haknya dalam kebebasan bersuara dijamin di bawah Perkara 10 Perlembagaan Persekutuan,” kata Naib Presiden KEADILAN, N Surendran.
Menurutnya, Adam tidak melakukan kesalahan undang-undang malah harus dipuji kerana mempunyai pendirian yang berani untuk memperjuangkan autonomi di institusi pengajian tinggi.
“UPSI tidak mempunyai hak untuk menghalang Adam daripada menjalankan hak-hak sivil beliau sebagai warganegara,”

‘Datuk NFC’ hanya dijadikan kambing hitam

KUALA LUMPUR 23 Dis: Tindakan polis menahan seorang datuk berhubung siasatan skandal National Feedlot Corporation (NFC), hanya untuk dijadikan kambing hitam dalam kes berkenaan.
Pengarah Strategi KEADILAN, Rafizi Ramli berkata, ini kerana berdasarkan rekod pendedahan beliau bersama pimpinan KEADILAN mendapati tiada individu seperti yang dimaksudkan.
“Apa yang kita dedah sebenarnya ia berkait penglibatan keluarga Ketua Wanita Umno, Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil.
“Kita melihat kewujudan secara tiba-tiba Datuk berusia 45 tahun ini hanyalah kambing hitam pentadbiran Datuk Seri Najib Razak untuk mengalih isu sebenar menjelang Pilihan Raya Umum (PRU),” katanya dihubungi Keadilandaily.com hari ini.
Menurutnya, dua isu utama yang didedah sebelum ini sudah cukup untuk Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) bagi menyiasat skandal itu
Pertama, katanya, pemalsuan dokumen yang diguna NFC sebagai taktik untuk mengeluarkan dana sebanyak RM250 juta.

Propaganda musuh terhenti, fokus kemungkaran BN

KUALA LUMPUR- Dewan Pemuda PAS Malaysia (DPP Malaysia) merasa yakin, polemik dalaman PAS yang dicipta oleh propaganda musuh sudah terhenti dan fokus rakyat kini terarah kepada semua kemungkaran yang dilakukan oleh kerajaan BN hari ini.
Ketua penerangannya, Riduan Mohd Nor berkata, media seperti mahu menimbulkan prejudis terhadap PAS dengan menimbulkan polemik yang sengaja direka-reka.
“Sebaliknya media mahu lensa rakyat melupakan isu-isu besar yang sedang melingkari negara ini seperti penyelewengan dana rakyat, penyalahgunaan kuasa, rasuah, krisis kepercayaan dalam parti pemerintah, serta polisi dan undang-undang yang membelenggu rakyat.
“Kesemua ini adalah isu yang perlu dihadapkan kerana melibatkan kepentingan rakyat yang lebih utama,” ujarnya.

Melayu ramai homoseksual?

KOTA BHARU – Semakin ramai golongan muda lelaki Melayu dikesan menjadi pengamal homoseksual sekalipun mengetahui perkara itu ditegah agama dan mendedahkan mereka kepada jangkitan virus HIV.
Presiden Majlis AIDS Malaysia, Tan Sri Mohd. Zaman Khan berkata, penularan seks luar tabii semakin serius dan tidak tertumpu kepada negeri-negeri di pantai Barat sahaja tetapi berlaku di negeri-negeri lain termasuk Kelantan.
Beliau menambah, jika dahulu pengamalnya melakukannya secara sembunyi tetapi kini mereka semakin berani menonjolkan diri sehingga menubuhkan kelab-kelab gay.
Perkara itu ujarnya, sangat membimbangkan lebih-lebih lagi trend jangkitan HIV dan AIDS dalam negara telah berubah daripada jangkitan akibat perkongsian jarum suntikan kepada transmisi aktiviti seks tidak selamat.

Kesombongan Najib tercalar

Salah seorang daripada pelajar yang menunjuk perasaan menuntut pemansuhan AUKU pada Sabtu lepas, Adam Adli telah menurunkan bendera Najib Tun Razak. Tidak jelas mengapa Najib Tun Razak mahukan gambar dirinya dikibarkan sebagai bendera. Adakah dia menyangka bahawa dia adalah sebuah negara?
Ini mungkin kali pertama ramai di antara kita yang melihat amalan itu dilakukan oleh Perdana Menteri Malaysia. Najib Tun Razak telah membenarkan dirinya dikibarkan sebagai bendera di hadapan ibu pejabat parti itu. Ia adalah lebih kepada perbuatan yang dilakukan oleh mendiang Kim Jong-il, pemimpin komunis Korea Utara.
Kes muka Najib pada bendera ini agak menjengkelkan apabila ia juga disertai lagu yang dipanggil 'PM Kita' yang sedang dimainkan di saluran propaganda biasa BN.
Sangat jelas keangkuhan Najib. Beliau bolehlah dikatakan memulakan pemujaan personaliti! Atau mungkin kita harus jujur, dan memanggil ia sebagaipemujaan kekurangan-personaliti. Antara salah satu sifat yang membezakan Najib dari Anwar Ibrahim, adalah karisma Anwar, personaliti dan kecerdasan beliau yang tiada pada Najib.

Shahrizat: Beritahu saya pemimpin UMNO mana yang tiada masalah?

Disebalik tanda bahawa UMNO sedang berantakan disebabkan skandal rasuah dan pertelingkahan dalaman dikalangan pemimpin tingginya, Suruhanjaya Pencegah Rasuah telah mengumumkan bahawa satu pasukan khas akan dibentuk untuk menyiasat dakwaan bahawa keluarga Menteri UMNO Shahrizat Jalil telah menyalahgunakan dana awam berjumlah RM250 juta yang diperuntukkan bagi projek ternakan lembu NFC untuk kegunaan peribadi dan juga harta mewah.
Walaubagaimanapun, tanpa fokus kepada kemarahan rakyat, semua mata tertumpu pada drama yang sedang dimainkan UMNO. Walaupun Shahrizat telah membayangkan kesediaan beliau untuk meletak jawatan, adalah mustahil beliau akan membenarkan dirinya dipijak atau dijadikan kambing hitam oleh rakan-rakan parti politiknya.

PAS kembalikan kedaulatan Islam di Terengganu

MARANG-Pemerintahan kerajaan Islam Terengganu yang diasaskan oleh Sultan Zainal Abdin (III) telah dikembalikan ketika kerajaan PAS memerintah negeri ini tahun 1999-2004.
Presiden PAS, Datuk Seri Tuan Guru Abdul Hadi Awang berkata, undang-undang Islam yang digubal di zaman pemerintahan Sultan Zainal Abidin (III) bukti Islam pernah berdaulat di negeri Terengganu.
Katanya, Itqan Al-Muluk Bi Ta’Dil As-Suluk itu berlaku di zaman Sultan Zainal Abidin (III) yang menunjukkan kepintaran baginda.
Menurutnya, baginda mewujudkan Perlembagaan Negeri yang digubal oleh ulama-ulama dan pembesar negeri waktu itu.
“Perlembagaan Negeri Terengganu Itqan Al-Muluk Bi Ta’Dil As-Suluk ini berlaku di zaman pemerintahan Sultan Zainal Abidin (III) yang menunjukkan kepintaran beliau.
“Baginda Sultan mewujudkan Perlembagaan Negeri yang digubal oleh ulama-ulama dan pembesar negeri waktu itu. Itqan Al-Muluk Bi Ta’Dil As-Suluk itu nama Perlembagan Negeri Terengganu,” tegasnya.

Reezal Merican dituntut mohon maaf 24 jam

KUALA LUMPUR- Naib Ketua Pemuda Umno Kepala Batas, Reezal Merican dituntut memohon maaf kepada Solidariti Mahasiswa Malaysia (SMM) dalam tempoh 24 jam melalui akhbar Utusan Malaysia, ekoran kenyataan fitnahnya terhadap mahasiswa.
Sekiranya Reezal tidak memohon maaf dalam tempoh yang ditetapkan, SMM tidak akan teragak-agak untuk mengambil tindakan lebih tegas terhadap beliau melalui saluran perundangan.
Pengerusi Solidariti Mahasiswa Malaysia (SMM), Ahmad Syukri Abd Razab berkata, tuntutan tersebut dibuat berikutan kenyataan fitnah Reezal yang mengatakan mahasiswa telah memijak bendera Perdana Menteri seperti yang disiarkan Utusan Malaysia pada 21 Disember lalu.
Menurutnya, kenyataan Reezal itu dilihat berniat jahat dengan cuba memburukkan SMM dan memberi persepsi negatif terhadap isu yang dibawa oleh Gerakan Menuntut Kebebasan Akademik (Bebas).

NFC: Pasukan Khas SPRM perlu panggil Muhyiddin

KUALA LUMPUR-PAS menggesa Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) dan pihak polis agar turut memanggil anggota kabinet yang ada kaitan dengan skandal Pusat Fidlot Kebangsaan (NFC).
Naib Presiden PAS, Datuk Mahfuz Omar (gambar) berkata, ianya termasuk memanggil Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin selaku menteri pertanian ketika projek itu diluluskan pada tahun 2008.
Selain Muhyiddin ujarnya, SPRM juga perlu memanggil Datuk Seri Najib Razak selaku pengerusi Jawatankuasa Projek Impak Tinggi yang meluluskan projek tersebut di luar kabinet.
"SPRM dan polis perlu tunjuk ketelusan dan integriti mereka dengan memanggil anggota kabinet termasuk PM dan TPM.
"Kita tidak mahu ianya hanya sekadar menyiasat ke mana dana RM250 juta itu dibelanjakan oleh syarikat NFC," katanya kepada Harakahdaily.

2011: Kerajaan ‘Transformasi’ dan Gelombang Kebangkitan Rakyat

2011 akan melabuhkan tirainya tidak berapa lama lagi. Tahun ini telah menyaksikan beberapa sejarah yang telah merubah lanskap politik Malaysia. Ternyata Tsunami politik pasca PRU-12 masih lagi menunjukkan bisanya walaupun pelbagai usaha dilakukan oleh kerajaan memerintah untuk menawarkan ‘bisa’ gelombang kebangkitan rakyat. Mengambil ‘berkat’ rancangan Maharaja Lawak yang bakal berakhir hujung tahun ini, saya mengandaikan begitulah jangkahayat Barisan Nasional.
Sewaktu saya menulis artikel ini, Dewan Negara telah pun meluluskan Rang Undang-Undang Perhimpunan Aman 2011 hanya dalam masa sehari. Hebat bukan? Satu Rang Undang-Undang yang dikritik oleh pengamal undang-undang bahkan oleh Special Rappoteur Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu boleh diluluskan dalam masa sehari oleh Dewan Negara. Ini lah uniknya Malaysia. Negara yang tiada apa-apa yang mustahil –‘Boleh Land’ . Benarlah kata orang Malaysia Truly Asia.

Black money

According to the latest report on illegal fund movements around the world, Malaysia lost a whopping US$47 billion, or almost RM150 billion of black money overseas in 2009.
Before I comment further on this phenomenon, let us first get two questions right.
1.What is black money?
As the name suggests, black money is the money obtained through illicit channels. To put things in a simpler manner, it is indecent money, and siphoning such black money overseas constitutes an act of money laundering.
2. What is money laundering?
To answer this question, allow me to start with a story on the origins of money laundering.
In the 1920s, a criminal syndicate in Chicago acquired an automatic laundry machine to provide laundry services to customers for a charge, and then lumped the incomes from the syndicate's illegal activities into the legal incomes of the laundry shop and declared the tax returns together, thus rendering its illegal incomes legalised.

Why punish Adam Adli? Has he done more wrong than Najib?

I refer to the disciplinary action commenced by University Pendidikan Sultan Idris( UPSI) against student leader Adam Adli Abdul Halim over the 'Najib flag' issue. The notice dated 23.12.11 issued by UPSI's disciplinary body has brought two charges against Adam. The 1st Charge alleges, among other things, that Adam has damaged the ' good name' of UPSI and the 2nd Charge alleges that he has 'endangered morals and public order'.
Both charges are baseless, unconstitutional, illegal and plainly absurd. In lowering Prime Minister Najib Razak's flag, Adam Adli was exercising his right to freedom of expression which is guaranteed under Article 10 of the Federal Constitution.
Adam's action was a legitimate and democratic protest against Najib's failure to ensure student and academic freedom by repealing the UUCA; it was also a protest against Najib's attempt to deceive Malaysian students by announcing superficial and incomplete reforms.

Khir jailed one year for abuse of power but PKR expects him to walk free after GE

Former Selangor Mentri Besar Khir Toyo was found guilty of abusing his influence and buying a luxury home and land at a discount of up to RM3 million. He was sentenced to 12 months jail, but a stay of execution has been granted pending an appeal, which he has to do so within 14 days.
However, opposition leaders were unimpressed, pointing to complex internal politics within Umno that gave leeway for Khir to win his appeal after the general election, widely expected within the next few months.
"This is only a gesture. I don't think he will do any jail time at all. He will get a stay of execution pending an appeal of the sentence. Right after the general election, Khir Toyo will be a free man again. This is just cosmetics," PKR vice president Tian Chua told Malaysia Chronicle.

Rosmah's Deepak exits share market amid talk of Dr M displeasure

Deepak Jaikishan, most famous for his denial of being First Lady Rosmah Mansor's toy boy, shocked the stock market by selling his entire stake in oil-and-gas wannabe Envair Holding Bhd.
His sudden and full exit, after a public assurance he was in for the long haul, lent credence to speculation that there had been objections from the highest quarters of Umno to Prime Minister Najib Razak's family entering the O&G sector on the coat-tails of national petroleum firm Petronas.
"There is talk Mahathir is not happy. Firstly, he doesn't want to share the Petronas goodies but apparently, his people also say he doesn't think Najib deserves any government contract from Petronas," an investment manager at a local stock broking firm told Malaysia Chronicle.

Mahathir's side of history: As they say, liars are sightless

Abraham Lincoln had this to say: “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”
They say liars are sightless. They swathe their eyes to the truth and trust that people they talk to are as dim as themselves. Why do most politicians customarily lie? They discern that the majority will follow rather than think for themselves. A lie told often enough becomes the truth. To lie in politics is a Machiavellian mode of manipulation and conspiracy.
Mahathir’s intelligence and political astuteness are generally acknowledged by his acquaintances and enemies. Mendacity or mendacious propaganda is Machiavellian. The people are already familiar  with his political  slant as he understands the Malay minds better than any of the past and present leaders in UMNO.

PAS rubbishes claim of DAP eyeing Selangor MB post

PAS and DAP have hit out at their opponents for claiming that DAP was eyeing the Menteri Besar's post in Selangor should Pakatan Rakyat be returned to power in the state in the coming polls.
At a press conference, Selangor PAS commissioner Dr Abdul Rani Osman, his deputy Khalid Samad and state DAP chairman Teresa Kok dismissed the allegation as another of UMNO’s scare tactics among the Malay electorate.
“The question of Selangor Menteri Besar's post does not arise as we are all satisfied with Khalid Ibrahim’s performance and there is no plan to replace him.
"We are confident that through our cooperation and support for each other which we have shown so far, Selangor’s performance will improve, not the other way,” said Rani, who is also Meru state assemblyman.

Mahathir says it again: "Wasn't me"

Following PKR’s claim that the post-Anwar Ibrahim administration of Dr Mahathir Mohamad had applied for World Bank loans, the former prime minister has repeated his denial by giving details of the loans approved by the global financial body.
“I had just criticised the World Bank, then I ask money from them for what? I would be stupid," was his immediate reaction to the claim by Anwar during a speech that Mahathir had not been walking the talk in his criticism of World Bank and International Monetary Fund, two bodies he frequently associated with his one-time heir apparent during the 1997-99 economic crisis.
Explaining further, Mahathir said he had refused to seek IMF or World Bank help during the crisis "because the so-called help would worsen the financial situation.

Umno-BN (1956 to 2011): The kleptocratic government

For 54 years UMNO/BN has been exploiting our resources both natural and man-made.
 Water
We have a lot of rain and many rivers but still we have water shortages and many villages still have no piped water and for those who have piped water it is of poor quality because it is tainted with high ferric compound and very fine blackish dirt. Is it impossible to provide hundred percent to the entire nation wherever it may be after 54 year of independence and being able to send an angkasawan (astronaut) to the international space station? Has not Malaysia been portrayed by UMNO-BN as everything “Boleh” (within reach)?
The UMNO-BN government has on several occasions warned us of the possible water crisis and that huge amounts of money is needed to transfer raw water from Pahang to Selangor. Melaka is also getting its raw water supply from the Muar River in Johore and Sungai Linggi in Negeri Sembilan. But is it really necessary to spend huge amount of money to transfer water from one state to another? Does it mean that the UNO/BN government has admitted failure when even after the privatization of our water treatment and supply system, we are going to face a water crisis?

The heirs of Umno and what would they be inheriting?

PAP of Singapore is a party for the elite. Nobody can be accepted as a member without having a recommendation and sponsorship by a PAP Member of Parliament. Then, they have to be vetted through, their backgrounds checked and verified before moving onto the next stage.
UMNO is the same but without clearly written-out rules. Even so, it is an elite party by all definitions with a mechanism long put in place and practiced as clearly as the one laid out in black-and-white by the PAP.
Whatever the rationale behind the PAP's stringent recruitment controls, UMNO's top leaders do it to ensure their party is full of people of their own kind; self-centred and corrupt. Ordinary UMNO members have no say at all and no power whatsoever; they can only bark at some trees. By the way they are also not really UMNO members. How so? Read on ...

Something fishy about the 'Datuk' nabbed for trying to bribe NFC investigators, says PKR

From snails-pace to faster-than-the-speed-of-light, Malaysian police suddenly nabbed a man who allegedly tried to bribe senior officers investigating a high-profile commercial crime, believed to be linked to the National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) debacle.
The police obtained a remand order from the magistrates court on Thursday for the 45-year-old man, allegedly a Datuk who heads a consultancy firm and runs a taxi company.
“I am not denying, I am not confirming. I’m saying I have no comments,” CCID chief Syed Ismail Syed Azizan told a press conference at the CCID office.

Tell me, which Umno leader does not have problem, asks Shahrizat as MACC begins probe

Amid signs that Prime Minister Najib Razak's Umno party was fast unraveling, hit by massive graft and infighting amongst its top leadership, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission has announced that a special team would be formed to investigate claims that Umno minister Shahrizat Jalil's family had squandered public funds allocated to the RM250 million NFC cattle livestock project on personal items and luxurious assets.
However, instead of appeasing public anger, all eyes are now on the drama at play in Umno. While Shahrizat has hinted she was ready to quit, it is unlikely that she will allow herself to be railroaded or be made an easy scapegoat of by her own party mates.
All eyes are now on how Najib, himself the subject of a probe by the French government over allegations of having taken a RM570 million kickback from French arms giant DCN, will deal with the NFC issue. Najib is also the Umno president.
“Tell me, which Umno leader does not have problem?” was Shahrizat's sharp retort when asked to comment whether she would heed the growing calls to resign, as recently reported in the Sin Chew newspaper.

PAS trio to be called to explain

Dec 22:  PAS will call Selangor state Exco Dr Hasan Ali, former deputy president Nasharuddin Mat Isa and Selangor PAS information chief Saari Sungip to explain recent media statements. Saying the party could not afford to waste time on squabbles, personal ego or refusal to toe party line,  PAS information chief Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said their explanation was crucial. “With the general election looming, PAS will not tolerate any sabotage whether internal or external that could affect the party’s final preparation,” said Tuan Ibrahim, repeating his advice that members embrace teamwork.

UMNO's 'MB-in-waiting' awaits probe over cash 'donations'

Dec 22:  Another UMNO leader lands himself in hot soup following the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission's move to investigate a blog's revelation that cash
payments had been made to his personal bank account in return for a Public Works Department contract.
Deputy Finance minister Awang Adek Hussin, UMNO's choice Kelantan Menteri Besar should it manage to end PAS's long rule in the state, had earlier admitted that he received cash deposits from a Johor leader, but insisted that the payments were donation to fund social programmes for his Bachok UMNO division.
“I have all the records, of who the money comes from and what it is used for.  A special officer handles this and I will hand (the records) over to the MACC,” said Awang.
Saying his conscience was clear, Awang insisted that he would reject any contribution with vested interest.

Shahrizat's plea: ‘I’m just the wife of NFC chairman’

Dec 22:  "It’s my husband who's corrupt, I'm just the innocent obedient wife, really!" – That was Petaling Jaya Utara member of parliament Tony Pua’s interpretation of Women, Family and Community minister Shahrizat Jalil's latest attempt to absolve herself from the fiasco engulfing National Feedlot Corporation, the project awarded to her husband.
The UMNO Wanita chief's latest statement followed yet another damaging revelation that her family used NFC’s money to purchase a RM10 million luxury condominium unit in Singapore.
“I’ve said it before… legally and professionally, I am not involved in the NFC. I am just the wife of the NFC chairman. Don’t all women and families have husband?” she replied.
The embatled politician added that “as a responsible leader and veteran in politics who loves Barisan Nasional”, she would know what to do next.

Mustafa tells Hasan to stop media tirade against PAS

Dec 22: Former Selangor PAS commissioner Hasan Ali was delivered another sharp rebuke today by PAS secretary general Mustafa Ali, telling the Selangor state Exco to stop using the media to criticise the Islamic party and emulate former deputy president Nasharudin Mat Isa by coming clean and shutting the door at UMNO. Speaking to reporters, Mustafa who had earlier accused Hasan of dancing to UMNO's tune, said he would himself stop airing his views on Hasan if the latter stops issuing public statements on PAS, which Mustafa described as baseless criticism. “When he makes wild claims, of course other PAS leaders would answer him back for the sake of the party. To stop this feud, it is simple. Hasan needs to stop talking. Then I too will stop talking as there will be no need to respond to his statements,” said Mustafa.

Pemuda yakin PAS terus di persada tanah air

KUALA LUMPUR, 22 Dis: Dewan Pemuda PAS Pusat Malaysia mengambil sikap positif di atas isu yang membabitkan mantan timbalan dan naib presiden, Nasharudin Mat Isa dan Datuk Dr Hasan Ali.
Naib ketuanya, Dr Raja Ahmad al-Hiss berkata, isu yang hangat dibincangkan dalam media arus perdana akan dapat diselesaikan dengan penuh hikmah oleh pimpinan yang ingin melihat PAS akan terus menjadi payung kepada rakyat yang amat yakin akan perjuangan yang telah dibawa semenjak ia ditubuhkan.
Malah, katanya dengan merujuk kenyataan Nasharudin, Pemuda PAS yakin akan pegangannya untuk terus bersama PAS yang telah lama menjadi wadah perjuangannya sehingga kini.
“Dan kami harapkan Nasharudin akan terus memainkan peranan penting untuk perkembangan PAS di seluruh tanah air kelak.
