Kim Jong Il's -supreme leader.

PYONGYANG, North Korea -- North Korea declared Kim Jong Il's son and successor "supreme leader" of the ruling party, military and the people during a memorial Thursday for his father in the government's first public endorsement of his leadership.
Kim Jong Un, head bowed and somber in a dark overcoat, stood on a balcony at the Grand People's Study House overlooking Kim Il Sung Square watching the memorial, which also served as a show of support for North Korea's next leader. He was flanked by top party and military officials, including Kim Jong Il's younger sister, Kim Kyong Hui, and her husband Jang Song Thaek, who are expected to serve as mentors of their young nephew.
Given Kim Jong Un's inexperience and age – he is in his late 20s – there are questions outside North Korea about whether he is equipped to lead a nation engaged in long-stalled negotiations over its nuclear program and grappling with decades of economic hardship and chronic food shortages.
But support among North Korea's power brokers was unequivocal at the memorial service, attended by hundreds of thousands of people filling Kim Il Sung Square and other plazas in central Pyongyang.
"The fact that he completely resolved the succession matter is Great Comrade Kim Jong Il's most noble achievement," Kim Yong Nam, president of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly, told the massive audience at the square.
"Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un is our party, military and country's supreme leader who inherits great comrade Kim Jong Il's ideology, leadership, character, virtues, grit and courage," said Kim, considered North Korea's ceremonial head of state.
Thursday's memorial "was an event to publicly reconfirm and solidify" Kim Jong Un's status, said Jeung Young-tae, an analyst with the Korea Institute for National Unification in Seoul, South Korea.
"Kim Jong Un is already the leader of the party, military and country," he said.
Life in the North Korean capital came to a standstill as a mourners blanketed the plaza from the Grand People's Study to the Taedong River for the second day of funeral ceremonies for the late leader.
Kim Jong Il, who led his 24 million people with absolute power for 17 years, died of a heart attack Dec. 17 at age 69, according to state media. He inherited power from his father, North Korea founder Kim Il Sung, who died of a heart attack in 1994, in what was the communist world's first hereditary succession.
Attention turned to Kim Jong Un after he was revealed last year as his father's choice among three known sons to carry the Kim dynasty into a third generation.
The process to groom him was rushed compared to the 20 years Kim Jong Il had to prepare to take over from his father, and relied heavily on the Kim family bloodline and legacy as guerrilla fighters and the nation's founders.
Kim Il Sung is North Korea's first and only president; he retains the title "Eternal President" even after his death.
Kim Jong Il held three main positions: chairman of the National Defense Commission, general secretary of the Workers' Party and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army.
According to the constitution, his position as chairman of the National Defense Commission makes him "supreme leader" of North Korea.
Kim Jong Un was made a four-star general last year and appointed a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party. Since his father's death, state media have bestowed on him a series of new titles signaling that his succession campaign was gaining momentum: Great Successor, Supreme Leader and Sagacious Leader.
"Kim Jong Il laid a red silk carpet, and Kim Jong Un only needs to walk on it," Jeung said.
Last weekend, the Workers' Party newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, called on the younger Kim to step into his father's role as supreme commander of the armed forces.
Kim also must formally assume command of the Workers' Party and become chairman of the party's Central Military Commission, said Yoo Ho-yeol, a professor at Korea University in South Korea.
The military will dedicate itself to protecting Kim Jong Un, the "supreme leader of our revolutionary armed forces," Gen. Kim Jong Gak, first vice director of the General Political Bureau of the Korean People's Army, said at the memorial.
The aftermath of Kim Jong Il's death has been watched closely for clues about who in the military and Workers' Party will form Kim's inner circle of trusted aides during the sensitive transition to leadership.
During the mourning period, the young Kim made at least five visits to his father's begonia-bedecked bier when the late leader was lying in state at the Kumsusan Memorial Palace, accompanied at times by his father's confidantes.
Following right behind Kim during a Wednesday funeral procession through Pyongyang streets with Kim Jong Il's hearse was his uncle, Jang Song Thaek, who is a vice chairman of the powerful National Defense Commission and has family ties to the military.
On the other side of the hearse was Ri Yong Ho, vice marshal of the Korean People's Army, and other top military officials.
Kim Jong Il's two other sons, Kim Jong Nam and Kim Jong Chol, were not spotted at either the funeral or memorial.
For Thursday's memorial, North Koreans packed the main square as well as the plaza in front of a Workers' Party monument of a hammer, sickle and writing brush.
Flags at half-staff fluttered in the wind on the cold winter's day, and people were bundled up in parkas. State TV showed a delegation of foreigners attending the memorial.
They bowed their heads as eight artillery guns fired; military officers removed their hats while the booms resonated across Kim Il Sung Square.
The streets went still again for a three-minute period of silence. Heads bowed, workers paused next to a green train and bystanders stopped where they were, some standing next to their bicycles, as trains and boats sirens blew their horns, according to state media.

Suarez £40,000 fine.

[Liverpool's manager Kenny Dalglish and his players have been criticised for reacting to Luis Suárez's eight-game ban by wearing T-shirts showing their support for the striker.
Suárez received the ban plus a £40,000 fine from the Football Association having been found guilty by an independent regulatory commission of racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra at Anfield on 15 October. His lawyer, Alejandro Balbi, said he would appeal against the punishment, stating: "The counts of racism that were made against him are not true. He will protest his innocence right to the end."
The Uruguay international played in Liverpool's goalless draw at Wigan on Wednesday night, before which his team-mates and manager wore the Suárez T-shirts. Dalglish said: "We stand right beside him. Always have done and always will do, and that was reflected in the support he got from the stands tonight and the players beforehand."
The T-shirts provoked criticism that the gesture conflicted with football's anti-racism campaign Kick It Out, confusing its zero tolerance message.
The former Manchester United defender Paul McGrath tweeted: "As ex footballer having experienced racist comments throughout my career I was saddened to see Liverpool players wear those tshirts … I would have been much happier if they had worn anti racist tshirts."
The Blackburn striker Jason Roberts tweeted: "The stance on the Suárez issue from LFC has bemused me… are United going to print Evra shirts now????? Some issues are bigger than football."
And the former Newcastle defender and anti-racism campaigner Olivier Bernard told Sky: "I really didn't think it was fine to wear the T-shirts. I can understand the club's side of it, but in society we can't accept racism and give support to a player who has used racist words.
"It's not OK to use racist language and the message they sent out yesterday was a bit wrong. I don't mind them giving support to Mr Suárez, but I just think it's a bit wrong to wear the T-shirt because that means they have allowed racist language. I just don't understand it."
But Dalglish defended the decision, saying: "I think the boys showed their respect and admiration for Luis. It is a great reflection of the man as a character, a person and a footballer that the boys have been so supportive and so have the supporters. He has earned that, has deserved it and we will always stand beside him. They will not divide the football club, no matter how hard they try."
Liverpool's goalkeeper, Jose Reina, added: "We are all right behind him. He has our full support. We were together from the very first minute of the allegations and [the T-shirts] were the minimum we can do for him.
"He is not racist. I am 100% he is not racist and he has been accused of racism. We showed our support to Luis. We want him and everyone to know we are right behind our team-mate because he is a lovely guy and he has been crucified by some people and it is not fair. Eight games is not even close to being fair."

Dato AC Mizal? Dato Eizlan Yussuf

Mungkin sudah tidak ada orang atau tokoh yang lebih layak diberi gelaran Dato melainkan AC Mizal dan Eizlan Yussof. Mungkin, ketokohan pengacaraan AC Mizal lebih hebat dari Aznil Haji Nawawi dan kehebatan Eizlan Yussoff berlakon lebih hebat dari Eman Manan, Rosyam Nor dan sebagainya. Mungkin terlalu banyak jasa yang dicurahkan oleh mereka berdua kepada negeri dan negara tercinta sehingga melayakkan mereka mendapat penganugerahan sedemikian rupa.

Bukan cemburu, dengki atau iri hati bermain di minda. Cumanya CTS hanya mahu memastikan pangkat Dato yang dipegang oleh seseorang kelihatan jauh berbeza dengan gelaran-gelaran murahan yang lain seperti GRO dan sebagainya. Biarlah pangkat Dato hanya dipegang oleh orang yang benar-benar layak, seorang yang banyak berjasa kepada negara dan seseorang yang pernah atau selalu mengharumkan nama negara. Kita tak mahu seseorang yang memegang gelarang Dato terpalit dengan masalah khalwat, tak bayar nafkah bekas isteri, perasuah dan banyak yang ditangkap kerana mencuri, menipu dan merompak.

Teringat kata-kata seorang kawan, kalau kita berdiri di dalam dewan yang penuh dengan orang ramai, jika dibaling batu ke belakang, kebarangkalian untuk batu berkenaan mengenai seorang Dato adalah tinggi. Itulah perumpaan betapa banyaknya Dato-Dato di Malaysia. Seperti buih-buih di laut.

Agent Insurance murdered.

KUALA LUMPUR: An insurance agent was found brutally murdered with 15 stab wounds in her rented room.

A passer-by noticed Rozanah Yusak, 35, waving her hands frantically, in a bid to seek help, from the window of her rented shophouse in Desa Kepong here at 2am yesterday.

He ran to her side, but by the time he reached the window, she had collapsed in a pool of blood. He then alerted the police.

Police believe jealousy was the motive based on the many stab wounds.

Gombak deputy OCPD Supt Rosly Hassan said Rozanah, whose identity card and mobilephone were missing, had been staying alone in the house.

Rozanah's father Yusak Suparman, 64, said he was informed of her death by a cousin.

He last met his eldest daughter when she returned to their house in Ijok last week.

“She told me she wanted a laptop and I immediately got her one.”

No arrest has been made so far.

Konserto Terakhir ganti interlok

[KUALA LUMPUR, 21 Dis – Novel “Konserto Terakhir” karya Sasterawan Negara Datuk Abdullah Hussain akan menggantikan novel “Interlok” sebagai teks Komponen Sastera (Komsas) bagi pelajar Tingkatan 5 mulai tahun depan.

Ketua Pengarah Pelajaran Datuk Seri Abdul Ghafar Mahmud berkata penggantian teks Komsas bagi mata pelajaran BahasaMalaysiaitu melibatkan pelajar bagi Zon Dua meliputi Negeri Sembilan, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur dan Putrajaya serta Selangor.

“Novel Konserto Terakhir telah melalui proses penyaringan dan pemilihan yang ditetapkan, dan sesuai digunakan sebagai teks Komsas berdasarkan nilai-nilai dan mutu karya yang dihasilkan,” katanya dalam satu kenyataan di sini hari ini.

Pada 14 Dis lepas, kabinet memutuskan bahawa penggunaan novel Interlok, yang juga karya Abdullah, sebagai teks Komsas Tingkatan Lima tidak akan diteruskan mulai tahun depan.

Keputusan itu dibuat berikutan timbulnya rasa kurang senang sesetangah masyarakat selain bagi mengelak mana-mana pihak daripada terus mempolemikkannya.

Novel Konserto Terakhir, yang pernah dijadikan teks Komsas Tingkatan Lima di Zon Dua dari tahun 2000 hingga 2010, berkisar mengenai perjuangan hidup dan kegigihan seorang anak muda dari kampung yang berhijrah ke bandar untuk mencari pekerjaan dan akhirnya berjaya menjadi seorang seniman besar negara.

MUKA PEMBERONTAK MELAWAN PM DI PWTC!

Sumber : APA

SMM hebat ke?

Setiap tahun ribuan pelajar berkelulusan Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) dan Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) gagal memasuki institusi pengajian tinggi awam (IPTA) mahupun swasta (IPTS).

Mereka gagal kerana pelbagai alasan termasuklah ada antaranya tidak cukup syarat dan ada pula kerana kuota sudah penuh.

Justeru ibu bapa mereka akan berusaha bermati-matian membuat rayuan dan berjumpa dengan pihak itu dan pihak ini, dengan matlamat anak mereka boleh menjadi seorang mahasiswa.

Ada antara mereka yang berjaya dan ada pula yang gagal dalam rayuan masing-masing. Yang berjaya ibu bapa akan berusaha sedaya upaya mencari sumber kewangan termasuk memohon biasiswa atau pinjaman kerana yang penting anak mereka mampu menggenggam segulung ijazah.

Tetapi bagaimanakah dengan gelagat sekumpulan anak muda yang bergabung dalam Solidariti Mahasiswa Malaysia (SMM) yang secara biadab melakukan demonstrasi dan menurunkan bendera wajah Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak pada Sabtu lalu.

Cuba kaji bagaimana mereka berjaya memasuki universiti, mereka berjaya menjejak kaki kerana dasar kerajaan Barisan Nasional (BN) dan ada antara mereka sudah pasti menerima biasiswa atau pinjaman daripada kerajaan.
Namun keghairahan kononnya untuk menjadi pejuang biar pun usia baru setahun jagung telah menyebabkan mereka terlupa tujuan sebenar mereka memasuki menara gading.

Ibu bapa di kampung menaruh harapan anak mereka akan berjaya sebagai mahasiswa di universiti dan bukannya terpekik terlolong di jalanan.

Apa yang mengecewakan, SMM bukan sahaja angkuh dengan menolak desakan supaya mereka memohon maaf malah seolah-olah memberi amaran kepada kerajaan supaya mendengar tuntutan mereka atau berhadapan dengan protes secara besar-besaran oleh mahasiswa yang menentang Akta Universiti dan Kolej Universiti (AUKU).

Persoalannya hebat sangatkah SMM ini? Siapa mereka? Apakah mereka benar-benar mewakili seluruh mahasiswa di negara ini atau mereka sekadar hanya 'tukang karut' yang didalangi oleh pihak tertentu bagi menentang kerajaan?

Tidak apalah buat sementara ini kita menerima penafian SMM bahawa mereka tidak menjadi alat sesiapa, kalau begitu bijak sangatkah mereka untuk mengajar kerajaan bagaimana hendak mentadbir negara?

Ia terbukti apabila, mereka mendakwa tindakan menurun bendera tersebut sebagai satu gambaran bahawa mereka sudah hilang kepercayaan kepimpinan negara yang dilihat gagal menangani isu-isu utama negara.

Hebat betul, kelompok yang mendakwa mewakili mahasiswa ini, belum habis belajar sudah pandai untuk menuding kesilapan orang lain, seolah-olah mereka lebih bijak mentadbir negara, biar pun kemungkinan ada antara mereka memasuki universiti atas kelayakan 'cukup makan sahaja'.

Apa pun kita percaya, SMM tidak mewakili majoriti mahasiswa di negara ini, mereka hanya kelompok kecil yang terlalu ghairah untuk berpolitik biar pun ilmu mereka ibarat buih di lautan, banyak tetapi tidak mampu mendatangkan manfaat dan kemudaratan kepada sesiapa.

Apa pun 'tahniahlah' kepada SMM, sekurang-kurang kita mampu menilai bahawa ada di kalangan mahasiswa yang tidak layak digelar mahasiswa.

Kebebasan bersuara yang diberikan telah dicemari dengan perbuatan biadab yang jelas membuktikan mereka tidak tahu menghormati pemimpin negara.

Kalau benar mereka mahu melakukan protes atau memberikan pandangan berhubung AUKU lakukan secara beradab, jangan lupa ini Malaysia yang rakyatnya mempunyai tata susila dan adab sopan yang tinggi.

Sebenarnya, dari satu segi, protes SMM itu tidak perlu dilayan kerana pindaan AUKU baru peringkat perbincangan, belum lagi ada kata pemutus berhubung pindaan yang hendak dibuat.

Oleh itu, adalah lebih baik jika SMM bertindak matang sebagai kelompok yang kononnya menganggap diri mereka mahasiswa atau pelajar universiti dengan menanti dulu apa pindaan tersebut.

Jika kerajaan di bawah kepimpinan Najib tidak mempedulikan suara mahasiswa, sudah pasti beliau tidak akan mengarahkan AUKU dikaji semula dan dipinda.

Kerajaan tidak berhasrat membisu suara dan menutup mata para mahasiswa sebab itulah pindaan ke atas AUKU dilakukan dan masyarakat juga amat memahami peranan mahasiswa dalam bersama-sama membangunkan negara.
Sebab itulah, SMM perlu matang, janganlah mendesak kerajaan mendengar dan memenuhi tuntutan mereka sahaja, apatah lagi kalau suara itu, bukan suara majoriti.

Apa yang perlu diingat SMM hanyalah kelompok kecil di kalangan mahasiswa, mereka tidak pernah dan tidak akan dianggap mewakili seluruh mahasiswa di negara ini.

Justeru tidak perlulah SMM terlalu angkuh, seolah-olah desakan mereka harus dipatuhi kalau tidak, kerajaan akan berhadapan dengan bantahan besar-besaran mahasiswa.

Hakikatnya, negara ini mengamalkan demokrasi dan kerajaan sentiasa bersikap terbuka untuk berbincang dengan mana-mana pihak dan dalam apa juga isu.

Malahan kalau dikaji, mahasiswa di negara ini paling beruntung kerana mendapat pelbagai faedah dan manfaat daripada kerajaan, termasuklah terbaru sumbangan baucer RM200 untuk mahasiswa membeli buku.
Perbezaan pendapat dan pandangan adalah perkara biasa dalam kehidupan, apa yang penting ia pendekatan bagi menyatukan perbezaan tersebut.

Sudah pastilah ia perlu dilakukan secara berhemah dan bersopan, bukannya cara dianggap biadab dan tidak bertamadun.

Adalah sesuatu yang malang apabila SMM menganggap tindakan menurunkan bendera wajah Perdana Menteri adalah perkara kecil berbanding tuntutan mereka.

Kalau itulah pandangan mereka jelaslah, SMM adalah terdiri daripada sekelompok mahasiswa yang tidak matang dalam bertindak. Mereka melakukan sesuatu tindakan berdasarkan emosi dan bukannya akal.

Apa yang dibimbangkan, jika beginilah tahap pemikiran yang ada dalam SMM, mereka boleh terpengaruh dengan mainan politik sesetengah pihak. UM

Kepada SMM, berhentilah bersikap angkuh atau merasa hebat, urusan kalian di universiti masih belum selesai, berusahalah menjadi mahasiswa yang cemerlang dalam pelajaran dan bukannya terpekik terlolong di jalanan.

Tidak salah untuk memberi pandangan dan cadangan tetapi lakukanlah secara berhemah. Malaysia berhasrat melahirkan generasi mahasiswa yang berkualiti dan menggunakan pertimbangan akal dalam melakukan tindakan, bukannya kelompok mahasiswa yang cetek fikiran dan mengikut perasaan.

Seandainya kelompok SMM ini merasakan diri mereka hebat dan mampu mengubah segala-galanya melalui demonstrasi serta perbuatan biadab yang dianggap kecil maka mereka juga perlu bersedia menanggung akibatnya termasuk disingkirkan dari universiti.

Mungkin itu yang mereka mahukan supaya akan dianggap wira tetapi percayalah rakyat sudah mampu menilai siapa yang layak menjadi wira dan siapa pula hanya sekadar 'boneka'.

Malay votera could next boycott EC

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 20 — Perkasa asserted today that Malay voters could boycott coming polls if the Election Commission (EC) proceeds with its plan to use indelible ink.
Calling the move “outdated”, its secretary-general Syed Hassan Ali claimed this would result in a polls outcome favouring the federal opposition.

Drawing comparisons with lesser developed countries like Somalia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Cambodia, he said it was “embarrassing” for an advanced nation like Malaysia to adopt such a system.

“Who will benefit if the Malays do not vote? In all likelihood, I will not vote as well if the decision to use indelible ink stands.

“And perhaps many Perkasa members would not vote as well,” he warned in a statement here.

EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Yusof announced yesterday the commission’s decision to use indelible ink in the next general election to prevent multiple voting, fulfilling a key demand by the Bersih 2.0 coalition for electoral reform.

Syed Hassan, however, insisted today that the push for indelible ink was orchestrated by those hoping to discourage the community from voting.

“Perkasa believes it came from those who in actual fact do not want to use the ink but because it is a way to discourage the Malays and Muslims from voting, they pushed for it.

“Think carefully before implementing this decision,” he said.

Last month, the Attorney-General cleared the way for the use of indelible ink in elections — one of the eight demands by Bersih 2.0 — when he told a parliamentary panel only a minor change in electoral regulations was required.

Panel head Datuk Seri Maximus Ongkili said Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail had informed the parliamentary panel on electoral reform that “either a constitutional amendment or a regulation change” was required so the EC can mark voters to avoid multiple voting.

It is understood Rule 19 of the Election (Conduct of Election) Regulations 1981 will have to be amended to allow the ink to be used. but this can be done at any time as it only requires approval from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong before Parliament is notified. The EC had planned to use indelible ink — which it purchased for RM2.4 million — during Election 2008 but backed out at the last minute, citing public order and security issues.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak formed the bipartisan polls panel after weeks of international condemnation following his administration’s clampdown on the July 9 Bersih 2.0 rally for free and fair elections.

The government also promised to adopt the movement’s eight demands, which include the use of indelible ink, cleaning up the electoral roll and extending campaign periods, as part of the committee’s scope.

The coalition of 62 NGOs has since gone on a nationwide campaign demanding that Putrajaya fulfil its eight demands before calling for a general election that is expected soon.

Opposition leaders, who strongly back Bersih, have warned of further rallies should the government fail to implement these demands.

Kerajaan BN prihatin

BUTTERWORTH 18 Dis. - Malaysia boleh dianggap sebagai negara yang paling menitikberatkan kepentingan rakyat walaupun kerajaan Barisan Nasional (BN) yang memerintah tidak mengisytiharkan konsep negara berkebajikan.
Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop berkata, kerajaan Persekutuan selama ini telah menyediakan pelbagai kemudahan seperti pendidikan percuma, perubatan percuma dan subsidi petrol bagi membantu meringankan beban rakyat.
Menurutnya, semua usaha itu bertujuan membantu golongan kurang berkemampuan keluar daripada kelompok kemiskinan sekali gus menaik taraf kehidupan mereka.
"Pelbagai program transformasi yang dilaksanakan oleh Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak terutama Program Transformasi Ekonomi (ETP) bertujuan menaiktaraf kehidupan rakyat Malaysia, khususnya golongan terbawah di negara ini yang meliputi 40 peratus daripada jumlah penduduk.
"Kita kini memberi perhatian untuk membantu menaiktaraf golongan terbawah di mana mereka hanya berpendapatan antara RM1,400 hingga RM2,300 sebulan bagi membolehkan mereka dapat mempunyai kehidupan lebih selesa," katanya pada sidang akhbar selepas menyerahkan peruntukan untuk projek-projek bantuan rumah di sini hari ini.
Pada majlis tersebut, Nor Mohamed menyampaikan peruntukan berjumlah RM260,000 kepada pihak berkuasa untuk membaiki 120 rumah. Projek tersebut dijangka siap akhir Januari ini.
Dalam pada itu, Nor Mohamed berkata, beliau percaya tiada negara lain di dunia ini yang lebih berjaya dalam sosial mobiliti seperti Malaysia.
"Tiada negara di dunia ini dapat dibangunkan dalam masa begitu singkat seperti Malaysia di mana kita berjaya menjadikan anak-anak miskin sebagai profesional dan lebih kaya,'' katanya. - UTUSANONLINE

Jawapan Sinar Harian

Assalamualaikum wb dan Salam 1Malaysia.

1. Merujuk kepada keratan akhbar Sinar Harian di atas, saya melahirkan rasa ingin tahu akan pandangan pimpinan tertinggi PAS dan PKR akan cita-cita besar DAP mahu calonnya menjawat jawatan Menteri Besar Selangor selepas PRU ke 13 nanti ?

2. Apa sudah jadi dengan perjanjian mahupun konsensus pembahagian kerusi ?

3. Apa sudah jadi dengan kesepakatan yang sibuk diwar-warkan sebagai padu dalam pentas ceramah ?

4. Bila DAP secara terbuka mahu meletakkan ramai calon melayu pada pru ke 13 akan datang, tidakkah ia sebenarnya telah menyekat peluang calon PAS dan PKR .

5. Jika sebelum PRU ke 13 pun pakatan sudah menampakkan sikap gelojoh dan tamak, apa pula yang bakal berlaku selepas PRU 13 berlangsung.

6. Sebelum ini kita dipertontonkan berulang kali baik dalam kenyataan media mahupun laporan web akan pertindihan dan perebutan kerusi Parlimen dan DUN yang mereka mahu tandingi.

7. PKR menuntut kawasan bukan melayu, PAS menuntut kawasan campuran dan DAP pula menuntut  kesemuanya.

8. Pertelagahan besar mereka sedang berlaku di Johor. Bagaimana DAP menghentikan mesyuarat pembahagian kerusi dengan PKR hinggakan insiden ugut mengugut berlaku.

9. DAP di selangor sudah mengintai kerusi MB. Apa pandangan Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim ? Apa pula komen Azmin Ali dan yang utama kenapa hingga ke hari ini PAS selangor masih berdiam diri. 

10. Sejak beberapa bulan kebelakangan ini rakyat senantiasa dihidangkan dengan cerita perebutan kerusi DUN dan Parlimen oleh pakatan hinggakan kita tertanya jika siang malam mereka asyik bercerita bila agaknya mereka meluang masa membuat kerja untuk rakyat.

Insiden Turun Bendera...

Mahasiswa berarak dan berhimpun menganggu kententetaman awam. - Gambar oleh Choo Choy MayKUALA LUMPUR, 17 Dis — Timbalan Menteri Pengajian Tinggi Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah mahu mendapatkan maklumat terperinci daripada pihak-pihak terbabit berhubung dakwaan bahawa gambar Datuk Seri Najib Razak di PWTC diturunkan oleh peserta demonstrasi membantah Akta Universiti dan Kolej Universiti (AUKU) petang tadi.

“Insiden turun naik bendera gambar DSN (Datuk Seri Najib Razak) di PWTC petang tadi. Saya telah hubungi penganjur minta keterangan. Saya juga hubungi pihak PWTC,” kata Saifuddin, yang juga ahli Majlis Tertinggi Umno, menerusi mesej Twitter malam ini.

Dalam pada itu, akaun Twitter @MahasiswaMsia dengan merujuk kepada isu Himpunan Bebas berkata, “sejarah tercipta! Demonstrasi hingga ke bangunan Umno di PWTC dan sejarah itu dicipta oleh Mahasiswa! Bangkit Mahasiswa!”

Mesej susulannya berbunyi, “17 Disember '11 — hari bersejarah negara.”

Katanya, mahasiswa berdemonstrasi dan dapat menawan ibu pejabat Umno di PWTC dengan membawa satu tuntutan iaitu kebebasan akademik.

Bagaiamanpun mesej akaun seterusnya memaklumkan Saifuddin bahawa kejadian itu memang bukan sesuatu yang dirancang.

“Insiden ini bukan perancangan kami, di luar kawalan.

“Isu turun bendera gambar DS @NajibRazak Ia di luar kawalan penganjur. Koalasi Bebas pandang serius dan akan bincang perkara ini,” kata dua mesej yang menyusul sekitar 9 malam tadi.

Maklumat yang diperoleh dari akaun yang sama memaklumkan Saifuddin bahawa “ketua demo (demonstrasi petang) tadi Safwan Anang, kami akan bincangkn isu turun gambar DSN (Najib)ini secara serius malam ini juga.”

Sementara itu Pengerusi SAMM Badrul Hisham Shaharin menerusi mesej Twitternya membalas @MahasiswaMsia menulis, “Terus bangkit!”

Bagaimanapun tindakan mereka mendapat bantahan dan dikecam ahli-ahli dan pemimpin Umno. Bekas ketua sayap muda Perkasa Arman Azha Abu Hanifah, yang juga pemimpin Pemuda Umno PJ Utara, dalam kenyataan yang dikongsi berkata,

Aspirasi mengecam tindakan yang tidak matang dan memalukan oleh kumpulan pelampau mahasiswa yang mengelarkan diri mereka sebagai Bebas.

“Berarak dan berhimpun mengganggu kententetaman awam. Menjatuhkan maruah dan keintelekualan seluruh mahasiswa.

Apa yang menyedihkan lagi, kerenah pelampau ini dilayan oleh YB Datuk Saifudin Abdullah, umpama mereka ini diiktiraf!

“Pihak kerajaan mesti berhati-hati dalam tindakan sebegini.

Aspirasi kecewa apabila mahasiswa ini tidak mengenang budi sehingga sanggup menurunkan bendera YAB PM dan mendesak YAB Dato Seri Mohd Najib letak jawatan!” kata kenyataan itu.

Aspirasi merupakan antara beberapa kumpulan pelajar berpengaruh di pusat pengajian tinggi awam tempatan.

Safwan ketika dihubungi The Malaysian Insider lewat malam berkata, pihaknya akan mengadakan mesyuarat pagi esok untuk membincangkan isu terbaru ini.

“Kami akan mengeluarkan satu kenyataan rasmi selepas mesyuarat esok,” katanya lagi.
*Inilah yang dirasakan oleh pejuang akar umbi termasuk Aspirasi dan blogger. Kita penat-penat bertarung dengan pembangkang, pemimpin atas macam Timbalan Menteri ni boleh bagi muka pulak. Ini mahasiswa ke budak PKR?

Boat sank...

The fibreglass vessel was following a well-worn, and occasionally  disastrous, route from the southern coast of Java to the remote Australian  territory of Christmas Island when it sank on Saturday, officials said.
 
So far rescuers have plucked 33 people — 30 men, a woman and two children  — from the sea despite strong currents and waves of up to five metres (16  feet), said a search and rescue official in Trenggalek district.
 
“The survivors had been hanging on to six life vests and floating in the  sea for around five hours before fishermen found and rescued them,” the  official, Kelik Purwanto, told AFP.
 
The boat was carrying around 250 people when it sank 40 nautical miles off  Prigi beach in the east of Java island on Saturday afternoon, he said.
 
Thousands of asylum-seekers head through Southeast Asian countries on their  way to Australia every year and many link up with people-smugglers in Indonesia  for the dangerous sea voyage.
 
Australia has warned refugees against attempting to come by boat, with  officials often citing a December 2010 shipwreck at Christmas Island in which  close to 50 people are believed to have died in wild seas.
 
Purwanto said that around 60 rescue officials had been deployed to comb the  sea to look for the passengers still missing from Saturday’s disaster. 
 
Survivors said that they and the other passengers came from Iran and  Afghanistan, and they had paid agents between $2,500 and $5,000 to seek asylum  in Australia, according to Purwanto.
 
“According to them, they had flown from Dubai to Jakarta and took buses to  an unidentified location in Java to board the boat. They said they were heading  to Christmas Island,” he said.
 
“They had been out at sea for 23 to 25 hours. They might have washed up on  nearby islands, so we must try to rescue them as soon as possible,” he added.
 
Yoso Mihardi, a spokesman for the Trenggalek district government, said: 
 
"The boat had a capacity of 100, but it was overloaded with 250 people. 
 
“That, combined with heavy rain and high waves, might have caused the boat  to tip over and capsize,” he said. 
 
“Our focus now is on rescue efforts and also to ensure the survivors are  recovering well and given adequate food, water and medical assistance,” Mihardi  said.
 
The Indonesian government’s immigration department would later take  responsibility for the survivors, he added.
 
Australia has failed in its efforts to set up a regional processing centre  in neighbouring countries in an attempt to reduce the flow of asylum-seekers  heading to its shores.
 
Canberra had intended to deter people-smugglers by sending up to 800  asylum-seekers arriving by boat to Malaysia, in return for accepting 4,000 of  Kuala Lumpur’s registered refugees.
 
But the proposal was scotched in August by the High Court which placed all  offshore processing in doubt, and the conservative opposition has so far  effectively blocked new legislation to allow it.
 
More than 5,500 people are currently being held in either immigration  detention centres or in community detention in Australia.
 
But the number of boatpeople arriving ballooned to close to 900 in  November, with at least nine ships arriving in Australian waters so far this  month. - AFP

China perketatkan microblog

China has made a long-expected move to control influential microblogs much more tightly with new rules that require users to register with their real names.

The rules, announced on Friday by the Beijing Municipal government, also explicitly ban the tweeting of appeals for non-sanctioned gatherings and force the companies that run social networks to apply for government approval.

Observers and users of Weibo, China’s main Twitter substitute, said Beijing’s move is likely to further throttle the vibrancy of microblogs and could even compromise their viability as businesses.

Over the first half of 2010, the microblogs steadily gained in influence as their multiple sources of information and their speed in spreading news challenged the ruling Communist party’s existing internet censorship tools.

After the collision of two high speed trains in late July, which killed 40 people, triggered a microblog-fuelled wave of criticism of the government, the party stepped up efforts to rein in the social media.

It denounced the spread of what it calls rumours through microblogs, and high-ranking officials pressured Sina, the company which runs Sina Weibo, the country’s leading microblog, into adopting stricter self-censorship measures.

It has also stepped up punishment of internet users for spreading allegedly false or harmful content. User activity on Sina Weibo has declined in recent months, a trend bloggers blame on the increased controls.

Beijing-based Sina declined to comment on how and how soon it would implement the new requirements for real-name registration. But industry experts said the company will have to use a mechanism offered by the police for ad-hoc online identity checks.

Anwar Perlu Resah Gelisah

Sepanjang sesi penggulungan hujah semalam oleh peguambela Ketua Umum PKR, Anwar Ibrahim, banyak perkara yang cuba disentuh oleh mereka. Bagaimanapun satu perkara yang sangat jelas ialah barisan peguambela Anwar Ibrahim telah gagal menimbulkan keraguan terhadap tuduhan Anwar meliwat bekas pembantu peribadinya, Saiful Bukhari Azlan.

Yang mereka pertikaikan adalah tentang tahap kesihatan sperma di dalam dubur Saiful. Karpal, Sankara Nair dan Ram Karpal langsung tidak mempertikaikan pemilik sperma tersebut. Sebaliknya yang dititikberatkan adalah tentang bagaimana DNA Anwar Ibrahim diperolehi. 

Melucukan apabila Sankara cuba menimbulkan teori tentang penanaman dan pengadaan bukti iaitu DNA anak guamnya. 

Seperti yang diketahui, Anwar Ibrahim keberatan untuk menyerahkan DNAnya secara sukarela, sebaliknya memberikan pelbagai alasan, termasuklah pihak berkuasa telah mempunyai DNAnya pada tahun 1998 dahulu, iaitu perbicaraan liwat pertamanya.

Saya tidak melihat kerja-kerja peguambela Anwar Ibrahim itu dapat menyingkirkan persepsi awal bahawa Anwar sememangnya meliwat Saiful Bukhari Azlan berdasarkan kepada gelagat mereka sendiri. Apatah lagi dalam penggulungan pada sebelah petang, Sankara dan Ram Karpal seolah-olah sepakat untuk menyatakan bahawa Anwar memang meliwat tetapi liwat itu dilakukan secara suka sama suka.
