Gov't refuses to reveal stand on Hadi's bill MalaysiaKini.com Mar 26, 2015 By Ram Anand The federal government today maintained a stoic silence in not revealing whether it would support PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang's private member's bill to amend the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act in Parliament. Despite consistent grilling by PAS lawmakers in Parliament, Islamic Affairs Minister Jamil Khir Baharom refused to state the government's stand on the amendment. Jamil Khir started the debate by openly challenging PAS to bring amendments related to hudud enforcement in Kelantan to the Parliament. Hadi (right) had submitted a private member's bill to amend the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965 to increase the scope of punishment in syariah courts. If passed, it would subsequently allow Kelantan to start enforcing hudud in the state. "A private member's bill has its own process. We need to look at the bill first. "When it comes up, only then the question of supporting the bill arises," Jamil Khir said. This was despite persistent questions by Mahfuz Omar (PAS-Pokok Sena) and Mujahid Yusof Rawa (PAS-Parit Buntar). Jamil Khir said the government has not fully looked at the content of the bill, which Abdul Hadi, the Marang MP submitted to the speaker's office on March 18. It remains unclear if the bill would see the light of the day in this session, which only lasts for two more weeks, as government bills are given priority. Copyright © 1999-2012 Mkini Dotcom Sdn.

Fight AES Fines, PAS's Mahfuz Tells Road Users Malaysian Insider
Fight AES fines, PAS’s Mahfuz tells road users Malaysian Insider October 31, 2012 By Ida Lim KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 31 ― A PAS lawmaker today urged road users not to pay off traffic summonses issued under the federal government’s controversial Automated Enforcement System (AES), saying that they should claim trial to the offences instead. “Now I want to ask, if the government refuses to delay the implementation of the AES and withdraw all summonses issued, everyone who receives the AES summonses don’t need to pay the RM300 compound, instead follow this instruction to go to court...” PAS vice-president Datuk Mahfuz Omar said at a press conference today. He said that Pakatan Rakyat (PR) was prepared to provide lawyers to represent those who chose to contest the summonses in court. Yesterday, PR said it would suspend approval for the AES’s implementation in the four states of Penang, Selangor, Kedah and Kelantan, to allow for further discussion and public feedback. Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng yesterday said that PR’s move would mean that 331 out of the planned 831 cameras under the nationwide AES scheme will not be installed. The AES cameras, which detects speeding motorists and those who beat traffic lights, is in its pilot phase, with 14 installed in Perak, Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Putrajaya. Today, Umno MP Datuk Bung Mokhtar Radin also crossed the political divide today and backed the opposition PR pact in calling for Putrajaya to suspend enforcing the controversial traffic system, saying it could be used as electoral fodder against the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN).

Forum `Bukit Cik Tam' Titik Mula Dialog Umno-Pas (BH 21/07/2001)
21/07/2001 Forum `Bukit Cik Tam' titik mula dialog Umno-Pas Azman Abdul Hamid WALAUPUN dialog Umno-Pas berhubung perpaduan Melayu menemui jalan buntu di tanah air, ia tidak bermakna proses mencari kesepakatan atau persefahaman untuk kebaikan masyarakat Melayu Islam di Malaysia juga terhenti. Pada peringkat parti politik, Umno dan Pas hanya berbeza dari segi retorik. Disebabkan retorik lantang kedua-dua pihak, dialog pada peringkat lebih rendah diperlukan bagi memulakan proses untuk sekurang-kurangnya membincangkan aspek kepentingan bersama sebelum membahaskan isu lebih rumit. Baru-baru ini, wakil Umno dan Pas menyertai satu forum bertukar-tukar pandangan di Cheetham Hill, Manchester. Tema forum itu ialah "Malaysia Visi Alternatif - Cabaran dan Hala Tuju Demokrasi di Malaysia" dan dilancarkan oleh Presiden Pas, Datuk Fadzil Noor. Turut hadir, Ketua Dewan Pemuda Pas, Mahfuz Omar, Presiden Jemaah Islah Malaysia (JIM), Dr Hatta Shaharom dan wakil Angkatan Belia Islam Malaysia (Abim), Chairul Iqbal. Kira-kira 120 pelajar Malaysia dari universiti di Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield dan Salford selain dari Mesir turut menyertai forum itu. Hadir bagi pihak Umno ialah Ahli Majlis Tertinggi, Datuk Annuar Musa. Turut hadir ialah Presiden Gabungan Pelajar Melayu Semenanjung (GPMS), Datuk Suhaimi Ibrahim. Apa yang memberangsangkan ialah forum kali ini berjalan dengan tenang. Kedua-dua wakil Umno dan Pas berpeluang membentangkan hujah dan penjelasan tanpa gangguan serta menerima pandangan pihak berlawanan dengan sikap terbuka. Sejajar tema forum tajaan kelab Pas itu, empat ahli panel dipilih, iaitu Mahfuz, Dr Hatta, Ghazali dan Annuar. Tetapi perhatian tertumpu kepada kenyataan Mahfuz sebagai pembentang dan Annuar memberi pandangan balas. Seperti dijangkakan, isu yang dikemukakan bersifat tuduhan bahawa kerajaan tidak mengamalkan demokrasi dalam erti kata sebenar, menzalimi bekas Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, menerusi Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA) dan dakwaan bahawa Pas lebih pro-aktif daripada Umno dari segi dakwah Islamiah.

PAS Risks Internal Split If It Rejoins BN Malaysiakini.Com July 30, 2014
PAS risks internal split if it rejoins BN MalaysiaKini.com July 30, 2014 YOURSAY 'But once Pakatan breaks in S'gor, it will break nationally.' Leaked PAS message: Team up with Umno in S'gor Quigonbond: A question that must be asked is why PAS is back-paddling on the idea of welfare state instead of hudud. Do they seriously think they can work with a corrupt BN? Whither ideas of justice and fairness in PAS? Why have they suddenly turned into racial-religious bigots? Is it because they did not win as much as they liked in GE13? But don't they realise that even if they join BN, they will still fight over the same pie with Umno? Or is this strictly over Selangor? Even if it is strictly Selangor, they should realise that once Pakatan Rakyat breaks in Selangor, it will break nationally. One's faith is inextricably tied to the other. Perhaps PAS is looking for a breakup. But then the challenge will be how the Erdogans can break the political stranglehold of the conservatives in the party and from there break into the rural hearts and minds in Peninsular Malaysia. They don't have much traction in Sabah and Sarawak - that remains the gauntlet for DAP and PKR. Malaccan: PAS research centre operations director Dr Mohd Zuhdi Marzuki has as good as admitted himself to have no honour nor integrity. He sickeningly explains his bigoted and extremist views about non-Muslims by claiming it was an analysis, and uses distraction in his Umno-like defence.

Government Backbenchers Defend Najib for Skipping 'Nothing to Hide' Dialogue Bernama June 8, 2015
Government Backbenchers Defend Najib For Skipping 'Nothing To Hide' Dialogue Bernama June 8, 2015 KUALA LUMPUR, June 8 (Bernama) - The Nothing To Hide' dialogue which should have been attended by prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak was a hot topic in parliament as several government backbenchers offered an explanation regarding the controversy. Datuk Seri Noh Omar (BN-Tanjong Karang) said the cancellation of the dialogue also attended by former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was fair as there was fear of provocation by certain parties. The former minister said Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar should be commended for cancelling the dialogue as it was the best course of action to protect the dignity of the two leaders. "It's a question of dignity, not only the dignity of the prime minister, but also the dignity of a statesman (Dr Mahathir), who should not be made a spectacle. "Thank you for not playing into the hands of the Opposition," he said when debating the 11th Malaysia Plan (11MP) here, Monday. The dialogue between the prime minister and non-governmental organisations (NGO) was cancelled and postponed to a later date on police orders for safety concerns. Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim meanwhile said that he had explained Najib's absence at the dialogue to Dr Mahathir. "The prime minister was ready to go on that day but skipped the event on the order of the inspector-general of police for security reasons. "I was with Tun Mahathir in Kota Kinabalu yesterday for a PERKIM (Malaysian Muslim Welfare Organisation) event and said the same thing.

Ambassador Michel Kafando President of the United Nations Security Council Permanent Representative of Burkina Faso to the United Nations 866 United Nations Plaza, Suite 326/327 A New York, NY 10017, U.S.A Fax: 1(212) 308 4690 H.E. Mr. Ban Ki-moon Secretary-General of the United Nations United Nations New York, NY 10017, U.S.A Fax: 1(212) 963 2155, 1(212) 963 1185 Via facsimile Your Excellencies, On behalf of 442 Members of Parliament from 29 countries around the world, we are writing to urge the United Nations Security Council to launch an investigation into crimes against humanity committed by the military regime in Burma (Myanmar) and to impose a global arms embargo on that regime. Such action is long overdue. Burma’s military regime has carried out brutal attacks on its own people for decades. According to the Thailand Burma Border Consortium (TBBC), a humanitarian agency providing aid to Burmese refugees and displaced persons for 25 years, through these attacks, the regime has destroyed over 3,500 ethnic minority villages in eastern Burma since 1996. Here, at least 75,000 people were forced to leave their homes during this past year alone, and more than half a million people remain internally displaced. TBBC has described the situation in Burma as being comparable to the situation in Darfur. Furthermore, these crimes against humanity in Burma are well documented by various UN bodies, although none of them have taken effective action.
