  • 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).

  • Kelantan & the PH Government

Malaysia’s Changing Federal-State Relations Kelantan & the PH Government By Najwa Abdullah SYNOPSIS The Parti Islam se-Malaysia (PAS) state government in Kelantan had had difficult relationships with Barisan Nasional (BN) governments in Kuala Lumpur for as long as BN was in power. Will this change under the new Pakatan Harapan (PH) government? COMMENTARY THROUGHOUT THE modern history of Malaysian politics, the state of Kelantan has been unique in many ways, particularly for its distinctive political choice and religious character. Since 1990 when PAS gained control there, Kelantan was continuously portrayed as the ‘disobedient’ state by the federal government during the UMNO-led Barisan Nasional (BN) period. As a result, Kelantan’s relationship with the centre had been fraught with disagreements, particularly over economic development and oil royalty. There had been numerous studies and reports on how the BN government had blocked the allocation of mandatory and discretionary grants and refused to pay the oil royalty to the state government. The BN tactics did not convince the Kelantanese to stop their support for PAS, as reflected by PAS’ victories in Kelantan in the general elections over the years (except in 2004 where Kelantan almost fell to BN).

  • DAP Exco Man Freed After Night in Lock-Up Malaysiakini.Com Sept 1, 2014
    DAP exco man freed after night in lock-up MalaysiaKini.com Sept 1, 2014 Penang exco member Phee Boon Poh was released by police this evening after having spent a night in a police lock-up for his role as the head of state-funded Voluntary Patrol Unit (PPS). A total of 134 more PPS members will be released by midnight, lawyer Gobind Singh Deo said this afternoon. Gobind said the documentation was being done to secure the release of the members. He was accompanied by 21 lawyers from DAP, PKR and the Bar Council’s Legal Aid Centre and they managed to get into a sessions court set up for the matter at the Northeast District police headquarters on Jalan Patani about 12.30pm today. "The police applied to remand them for four days, but since they needed to prepare the documentation, the detainees will be released, temporarily, on police bail today. "The sessions court judge heard the application by the detainees to seek their release," Gobind said. However, the lawyers were not informed about the actual reason for the remand. Sessions judge Mohamad Izwan presided over the matter, while police officer ASP Karuna applied for the remand. The lawyers came out about 3pm and were greeted by supporters who clapped happily upon hearing about the pending release of the detainees. Exact charge yet to be specified According to Gobind, the detainees are being investigated under Section 43 of the 1966 Societies Act, but the exact charge is yet to be specified. Earlier, 21 PPS members - seven women and 14 senior citizens over the age 60 - were released on police bail, after Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng negotiated with the police for their release last night.

  • 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.
