Senior Special Branch Officer Gets Sudden Transfer to PM's Dept, Told
Senior Special Branch officer gets sudden transfer to PM’s Dept, told to go on long leave Malay Mail Online August 19, 2015 By YISWAREE PALANSAMY KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 19 — In another abrupt change within government agencies, Datuk Abdul Hamid Bador was today transferred out of the Special Branch (SB) and into the Prime Minister’s Department where he will head a new security division reporting directly to Datuk Seri Najib Razak. A special ceremony was conducted behind closed doors in Bukit Aman earlier today, which saw Abdul Hamid passing on the baton as deputy director of the police intelligence agency to an assistant, Datuk Mohd Haniff Hanudin who was heading a unit called E4 that deals with the political extremist threat. Abdul Hamid confirmed the transfer when contacted, but said he was in the dark on the reasons for his abrupt work shift. “No… they just told me to go to JPM, so I go to JPM lah,” he told Malay Mail Online when contacted, using the Malay abbreviation for the Prime Minister’s Department. “No reason given and I just received the letter yesterday… earlier today, there was a ceremony to hand over my duty.” He added that he would take up his new duties at the Prime Minister’s Department on September 2, as he was currently on leave from work. Malay Mail Online understands Abdul Hamid was ordered to go on “long leave” before assuming new duties as the head of a new security and transnational crime division under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak. -
THE POLITICISATION of ISLAM in MALAYSIA and ITS OPPONENTS Alexander Wain*
THE POLITICISATION OF ISLAM IN MALAYSIA AND ITS OPPONENTS Alexander Wain* Abstract: This article profiles four prominent detractors of Islam’s politicisation in contemporary Malaysia. While much ink has been spilt profiling the promulgators of politicised Islam, whether in Malaysia or elsewhere, comparatively little has been written about those who oppose it. This article is a modest attempt to rectify that deficiency. It begins, however, with a brief history of that politicisation process as it has occurred in Malaysia, with particular reference to Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS) and Angkatan Belia Islam Malaysia (ABIM). This brief overview traces Malaysia’s unique form of politicised Islam to late twentieth-century intercommunal tensions driven by Malay poverty and cultural anxiety. These enabled long-standing ethno-religious associations to facilitate a blending of Islamist ideology with issues surrounding Malay rights. It is within this context that we then examine the social and educational backgrounds, principal publications, records of activism, and ideological positions of four prominent critics of Malaysian Islam’s politicisation, namely: Chandra Muzaffar, Zainah Anwar, Marina Mahathir, and Siti Kasim. The article concludes that all four figures differ from their counterparts in PAS and ABIM by possessing Western-orientated backgrounds, a long-standing dedication to multiculturalism, and a desire to orientate their work around human rights- based issues. The article concludes by suggesting how (or if) these detractors can impact the future direction of Malaysian politics. Keywords: Islam, Malaysian politics, PAS, ABIM, Chandra Muzaffar, Zainah Anwar, Marina Mahathir, Siti Kasim Introduction This article presents short contextualised biographies of four prominent opponents of Islam’s politicisation in contemporary Malaysia. -

The UAE said on Sunday that four commercial vessels were sabotaged near Fujairah emirate, one of the world’s largest bunkering hubs lying just outside the Strait of Hormuz. It did not describe the nature of the attack or say who was behind it. The UAE had not given the nationalities or other details about the ownership of the four vessels. Riyadh has identi- fied two of them as Saudi and a Norwegian company said it owned another. Details of the fourth ship were not immediately clear. Thome Ship Management said its Norwegian-registered oil products tanker MT Andrew Victory was “struck by an unknown object”. Footage seen by Reuters showed a hole in the hull at the waterline with the metal torn open inwards. -
