Azmin: ‘Kenapa sekarang baru nak siasat?’

PETALING JAYA, 6 Jun — Timbalan Presiden PKR, Azmin Ali hari ini mempertikaikan tindakan Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) membuka semula kertas siasatan pertuduhan rasuah terhadapnya dan turut mempersoalkan badan pencegahan rasuah itu kerana baru sekarang menyiasat semula kes tersebut. Malah, ahli Parlimen Gombak itu juga menegaskan, tindakan itu dilihat hanyalah sebagai “pertuduhan politik” terhadapnya memandangkan pilihan raya umum bakal dijalankan tidak lama lagi. “Kenapa sekarang baru nak siasat, sudah 17 tahun, kenapa tidak dari dulu?” katanya. “Pilihan raya dah dekat. Mungkin bulan hadapan. Ini adalah ‘pertuduhan politik’ terhadap saya,” tambahnya. Malah, Azmin turut menyifatkan SPRM sebagai “super efisyen” kerana kebanyakan kes seperti kes yang melibatkan Ketua Wanita Umno Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, ia diselesaikan dalam tempoh masa singkat, walaupun individu yang sepatutnya memberikan keterangan tidak dipanggil.

PKR dakwa tanah rizab Melayu dalam bahaya akibat penyenaraian bursa

PETALING JAYA, 6 Jun — PKR hari ini mendakwa status tanah simpanan Melayu Felda akan berdepan risiko melalui penyenaraian Felda Global Venture Holding (FGVH). Pengarah Strategi PKR, Rafizi Ramli mendedahkan, tanah seluas 105,382 ekar berstatus Tanah-tanah Rizab Melayu (TRM) yang dipajakkan kerajaan kepada FGVH juga berkemungkinan jatuh kepada penguasaan asing melalui penyenaraian, sekaligus bertentangan dengan TRM yang mengekalkan hak milik Melayu dan Bumiputera. "Melalui pajakan 99 tahun itu, hak milik dan hasil ekonomi tanah-tanah ini dipindahkan kepada syarikat dan status Bumiputeranya dipersoalkan. "Malah, kesan daripada itu, ia juga akan menjejaskan pegangan tanah kawasan petempatan FELDA dan kesan besar kepada kebajikan peneroka," tegasnya. Rafizi turut menegaskan, jumlah tanah rizab Melayu itu adalah 16 peratus daripada keseluruhan 343,484.46 hektar tanah Felda Plantation Sdn Bhd yang dipajakkan dalam status "Tanah Sedia Ada." Manakala, "Tanah Sedia Ada Tambahan" adalah tanah tidak bergeran yang merujuk kepada tanah untuk aktiviti sosial dan kemasyarakatan seperti tapak kedai, padang, surau, dan banyak lagi.

PTPTN row: So Selangorians don't pay taxes?

YOURSAY 'The new undergraduates at Unisel should not be made into pawns in the Umnoputras' unprincipled attempts to wrest back control of Selangor.' PTPTN halts loans to Universiti Selangor students Disgusted: I suppose PTPTN (National Higher Education Fund) will now be dispensed to all those illegal immigrants whom they have given citizenship and made voters. Perhaps the Selangor government should start a scholarship fund for Unisel (Universiti Selangor) students, of course with conditions, or otherwise it will be misused. I thought all government institutions are apolitical and are supposed to be neutral. So what next? Pakatan supporters will not be given places in BN-controlled public universities? The BN seems to be using every possible avenue to punish the Pakatan state government, even to the point of using students as pawns to gain advantage. It's like cutting your nose to spite your face. After all, there may be some BN supporters' children on the list of applicants to Unisel as well. Things have really got out of hand in their attempt to recapture Selangor. It only makes rakyat more resolved to get rid of them once and for all from Putrajaya. Read more.... Jarumemas: Becoming more complex and irritating....

November polls likely after the Haj as BN courts youth, Chinese vote

KUALA LUMPUR, June 7 — The Haj pilgrimage on October 26 and Barisan Nasional’s (BN) efforts to court the youth and Chinese vote could delay the general election to November, sources say, adding Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak is still scrutinising the candidates’ lists to ensure a bigger victory. The Malaysian Insider had reported on May 28 of a possible September general election but Najib’s announcement that Budget 2013 will be tabled on September 28 has pushed party strategists to look at a further date to also ensure budget goodies get to the ground. “The Haj could delay the vote just as much as BN wants the people to enjoy the benefits of Budget 2013. We’re looking at November now,” a source told The Malaysian Insider. Election Commission (EC) sources say the commission is ready for polls but has yet to get any indication of snap polls for the 222 federal seats and 505 state seats, except the Sarawak state assembly which was elected last year.
