Tuan Ahmad Fahmi bin Mohamed Fadzil [Lembah Pantai] minta Perdana Menteri menyatakan adakah kerajaan berhasrat untuk mengawal selia sektor ekonomi gig, contohnya berkait skim pembayaran Syarikat Foodpanda, demi membela nasib dan kebajikan pekerja-pekerja ekonomi gig. Perdana Menteri [Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad]: Tuan Yang di-Pertua, sebagai mana Ahli Yang Berhormat sedia maklum, gig economy adalah sistem pasaran terbuka, di mana pekerja bebas, dengan izin, independent workers mengikat kontrak kerja untuk melaksanakan sesuatu projek dalam jangka masa tertentu dan kebiasaannya dilaksanakan secara freelance. Ia kini menjadi trend semasa dan kerajaan mendapati gig economy mampu menjadi sumber pertumbuhan ekonomi baharu dan memberi peluang kepada rakyat meningkatkan pendapatan serta taraf hidup mereka. Sebagai satu trend yang baru, di mana pekerjaan kini lebih fleksibel, kerajaan menghadapi cabaran dalam penjagaan kebajikan para pekerja yang terlibat dengan gig economy ini berikutan hubungan master and servant dan hubungan pekerjaan, dengan izin, employment relationship dengan majikan yang kurang jelas. Malah, kerajaan sedar akan implikasi gig economy ini terhadap ekonomi tradisional serta perlindungan hak pekerja. Justeru, kerajaan telah mengambil beberapa inisiatif berikut dengan objektif untuk memanfaatkan gig economy dan dalam masa yang sama, kepentingan pengguna dan pekerja kekal terjamin. Antara inisiatif tersebut adalah: (i) penubuhan jawatankuasa khas dianggotai oleh Kementerian Belia dan Sukan, Kementerian Sumber Manusia dan Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Hal Ehwal DR. 22.10.2019 2 Pengguna. Jawatankuasa ini akan merangka penyelesaian jangka panjang terhadap isu-isu berkaitan gig economy di negara ini; (ii) Kementerian Sumber Manusia akan menjalankan kajian terperinci daripada segi takrifan perundangan berhubung terma-terma dan syarat-syarat pekerjaan dalam industri kategori gig economy, selaras dengan perubahan trend ekonomi di bawah perkembangan Industri 4.0; (iii) melaksanakan regulatory sandbox untuk dikaji oleh semua badan regulatory ataupun regulators, termasuk Bank Negara Malaysia sebagai langkah memenuhi trend masa hadapan dalam menggalakkan aktiviti berkaitan teknologi baru; dan (iv) memberikan tumpuan kepada gig economy sebagai sumber pertumbuhan ekonomi baru, mampan dan inklusif dalam merangka Rancangan Malaysia Ke-12, 2021-2025. Terima kasih. Tuan Ahmad Fahmi bin Mohamed Fadzil [Lembah Pantai]: Terima kasih Tuan Yang di-Pertua. Terima kasih Yang Amat Berhormat Perdana Menteri. Seperti yang kita sedia maklum, di kalangan pemandu ataupun riders Foodpanda ada 13,000 yang bekerja. Di GrabFood ada lebih kurang 10,000, di Grab drivers ada lebih kurang 150,000. World Bank pula menganggarkan 26 peratus daripada rakyat Malaysia yang bekerja akan bekerja sebagai freelance. Maksudnya, ekonomi gig ini adalah satu ekonomi yang besar. Saya ucapkan tahniah. Cuma persoalannya, adakah jawatankuasa ini juga akan menyentuh perkara- perkara seperti isu KWSP, isu PERKESO? Ini kerana ramai yang bekerja, panjang masanya. Sesetengah mereka bekerja 12 hingga 13 jam, tanpa berhenti untuk mendapatkan gaji yang agak baik, dalam RM6,000 ke RM7,000. Jadi, bagaimana pandangan kerajaan dan Yang Amat Berhormat Perdana Menteri tentang work and life balance? Sebagai seorang doktor, mungkin boleh berikan pandangan juga. Terima kasih. Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad: Tuan Yang di-Pertua, memang kerajaan amat prihatin terhadap nasib pekerja yang terlibat dalam gig economy ini. Bagi pekerja biasa, sudah ada peraturan-peraturan berkenaan dengan simpanan wang dan pencen serta KWSP. Akan tetapi bagi gig economy ini yang tidak mengikut apa-apa peraturan yang DR. 22.10.2019 3 dikenali sekarang ini, kerajaan terpaksa memeriksa apakah kepentingan pekerja- pekerja terlindung ataupun tidak. ■1010 Pada masa ini, kita masih membuat kajian kerana sistem ini adalah sistem yang baharu yang dibuat kerana perhubungan yang mudah boleh dibuat antara pekerja dengan majikan. Ini cara baharu mereka bekerja dan kita dapati bahawa ramai yang mendapat manfaat daripada gig economy ini. Oleh sebab itu kita perlukan kekalkan sistem ini tetapi kita hendak supaya diadakan peraturan yang melindungi hak pekerja, Tuan Yang di-Pertua. Datuk Seri Haji Ahmad bin Haji Maslan [Pontian]: Terima kasih Tuan Yang di-Pertua, Yang Amat Berhormat Langkawi. Semakin ramai rakyat sekarang ini membuat kerja sambilan, sama ada mereka melaksanakan bawa GrabTaxi atau GrabFood, Foodpanda. Apa pandangan Yang Amat Berhormat Perdana Menteri tentang kerja sambilan? Apakah pandangan Yang Amat Berhormat Perdana Menteri tentang berniaga atas talian, business online, adakah perkara ini juga perlu guideline dan garis panduan, bukan hanya mereka yang bekerja sepenuh masa? Terima kasih. Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad: Tuan Yang di-Pertua, dalam keadaan yang mana agak sukar bagi mereka yang mempunyai kebolehan ataupun kelulusan mencari kerja, sistem gig economy ini memberi peluang kepada mereka menambah ataupun mendapat pendapatan yang halal. Mereka bekerja sendirian tetapi pekerja sendirian ini tidak termasuk dalam golongan pekerja biasa yang menikmati beberapa perlindungan yang diadakan oleh kerajaan. Kita tidak dapat hentikan sistem ini kerana ramai daripada rakyat mendapati bahawa sistem ini memberi peluang kepada mereka menambah pendapatan mereka ataupun bagi yang menganggur mencari sedikit pendapatan yang boleh menampung keperluan hidup mereka. Tuan Mohd Shahar bin Abdullah [Paya Besar]: Terima kasih Tuan Yang di- Pertua, terima kasih Yang Amat Berhormat Perdana Menteri. Masalah pokoknya adalah pengangguran anak muda 10.8 peratus, tiga kali ganda daripada jumlah peratusan pengangguran nasional. Akan tetapi, apa yang saya hendak bertanya kepada Yang Amat Berhormat Perdana Menteri, adakah Yang Amat Berhormat Perdana Menteri akan menggubal satu rang undang-undang? Ini kerana kita faham dalam gig economy ini, currency atau mata wang yang diniagakan, sama ada dua fiat currency atau cryptocurrency. DR. 22.10.2019 4 Akan tetapi, adakah Malaysia sekarang ini bergerak ke arah untuk melihat cryptocurrency tersebut. Ini kerana saya risau Yang Amat Berhormat Langkawi banyak jenayah dark web ini akan menyebabkan anak-anak muda mencari jalan untuk keluar daripada masalah pengangguran kerana mereka hendak pendapatan yang lebih. Terima kasih, Tuan Yang di-Pertua. Tuan Yang di-Pertua: Agak lari daripada soalan asal ya? Cryptocurrency. Dato’ Dr. Haji Noor Azmi bin Ghazali [Bagan Serai]: Boleh satu soalan lagi? Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad: Tuan Yang di-Pertua, tujuan kita mengadakan badan yang sedang mengkaji sistem gig economy ini ialah oleh kerana kita ingin menentukan bahawa ada undang-undang ataupun peraturan-peraturan yang boleh melindungi hak pekerja-pekerja dalam gig economy. Itulah sebabnya yang kita tubuh badan ini dan di waktu ini kita dapati bukan semuanya sama yang boleh disusun mengikut pekerja-pekerja biasa. Akan tetapi, adalah menjadi tanggungjawab kerajaan untuk menyusun undang-undang dan peraturan-peraturan supaya semua pihak terlindung dan kita juga dapat manfaat daripada pertumbuhan ekonomi hasil daripada kegiatan dalam gig economy. Terima kasih. Tuan Yang di-Pertua: Mungkin soalan tambahan yang terakhir. Dato’ Dr. Haji Noor Azmi bin Ghazali [Bagan Serai]: Satu lagi. Boleh? Tuan Yang di-Pertua: Silakan Yang Berhormat Bagan Serai. Dato’ Dr. Haji Noor Azmi bin Ghazali [Bagan Serai]: Terima kasih, Tuan Yang di-Pertua. Dalam gig economy ini, adakah contohnya syarikat Foodpanda memastikan bahawa semua yang menghantar makanan ini mempunyai lesen, road tax, insurans yang sah? Adakah mereka ini telah diberi taklimat dan nasihat mengenai undang- undang dan tatatertib di jalan raya? Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya pernah dilanggar oleh Foodpanda. [Ketawa] Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad: Tuan Yang di-Pertua, Foodpanda ini adalah di antara yang pertama yang memperkenalkan gig economy di Malaysia. Pada masa mereka memperkenalkan sistem ini kita tidak pun mahir berkenaan dengan perkataan gig economy pun. Oleh sebab itu pada mulanya kita tidak ada peraturan-peraturan atau undang-undang. Terdapat kemungkinan mereka dianiayai oleh majikan, sebab itu hari ini kita ingin tentukan supaya ada undang-undang dan peraturan-peraturan yang mana kalau majikan melanggar maka tindakan boleh diambil terhadap mereka. Waktu ini kita belum ada undang-undang ataupun peraturan-peraturan. DR. 22.10.2019 5 2. Dato' Haji Che Abdullah bin Mat Nawi [Tumpat] minta Menteri Pendidikan menyatakan tindakan tegas yang diambil terhadap penganjur Debat Piala Tun Razak 2019 yang telah bertindak melampau dengan menyentuh hal ehwal syariah hukum Islam yang sudah termaktub di dalam Al-Quran sebagai bahan perdebatan. Menteri Pendidikan [Dr. Maszlee bin Malik]: Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, untuk

Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. W TheW threat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) has reverberated in Southeast Asia, from where individuals, including young women and individuals with families, have travelled to conflict zones in Syria and Iraq. The seriousness of the threat of ISIS however, comes from Southeast Asian fighters who will return home from battle with fresh combat skills, radical ideologies and extensive networks. The potential for these Southeast Asian terrorist returnees to mount attacks and to further radicalise and recruit other individuals, is therefore, of notable concern to governments in this region. In this issue, Anton Chan discusses the medium and the message used by ISIS that has appealed to its legions of supporters in Southeast Asia.

  • Intel Oh Intel Jilid
    Badan Intelijen dari masa ke masa: Alat Negara atau Memperalat Negara? Tulisan ini merupakan *Muqaddimah* pada sebuah buku berjudul *Awas! Operasi Intelijen*, yang diterbitkan oleh Ar Rahmah Media, Jakarta, September 2006, khususnya pada halaman 6 hingga 21. Oleh Irfan S. Awwas *) SELAIN TNI dan Polri, badan intelijen merupakan salah satu alat negara, bukan alat pemerintah atau alat dari rezim tertentu yang sedang berkuasa. Namun dalam kenyataannya, terutama selama rezim Orde Baru berkuasa, badan intelijen lebih terkesan sebagai alat penguasa. Badan intelijen yang dimiliki negara RI, tidak saja BIN (Badan Intelijen Negara), tetapi ada badan-badan intelijen di bawah kendali TNI, Polri, dan bahkan lembaga sipil lainnya. Pimpinan badan intelijen di tubuh TNI dan Polri, tentu saja dijabat oleh perwira-perwira TNI dan Polri yang masih aktif. Sedangkan badan intelijen di luar TNI-Polri seperti BIN, mengapa lebih sering dijabat oleh para perwira TNI atau purnawirawan TNI. Menurut berbagai sumber yang berhasil dirangkum oleh badan Litbang Majelis Mujahidin, selama empat dasawarsa lebih, sejak 1965 hingga tahun 2006 ini, kepala badan inteljen selalu dijabat oleh perwira TNI minimal berbintang dua. Badan Pusat Intelijen (BPI) yang didirikan sejak November 1959 dan pernah dipimpin Dr Subandrio (tokoh PKI), dibubarkan pada tahun 1965. Sejak itu, badan intelijen bernama KIN (Komando Intelijen Negara) di bawah pimpinan Jenderal TNI Soeharto yang saat itu juga menjabat sebagai Menpangab/Menteri bidang Hankam/Ketua Presidium Kabinet Ampera. Namun dalam kesehariannya, KIN dijalankan oleh Mayjen TNI Hertasning, hingga tahun 1967. Periode 1967-1968, setelah KIN dibubarkan, dibentuk BKI (Badan Kerja Intelijen), yang dipimpin Mayjen TNI Sudirgo. Ternyata, Sudirgo dianggap kekiri-kirian, maka KIN pun dibubarkan, kemudian menjadi Intel Oh Intel 1 BAKIN (Badan Koordinasi Intelijen Negara), dirintis oleh Letjen TNI Yoga Soegama yang sempat menjalankan lembaga ini selama beberapa bulan (November 1968 hingga Maret 1969).

  • 104 RELIGIOUS EXTREMISM and RADICALISATION of MUSLIMS in MALAYSIA: the MALAY TIES with the MUJAHIDIN, AL QAEDA and ISIS Muhammad
    Journal of Nusantara Studies 2020, Vol 5(1) 104-123 Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin ISSN 0127-9386 (Online) http://dx.doi.org/10.24200/jonus.vol5iss1pp104-123 RELIGIOUS EXTREMISM AND RADICALISATION OF MUSLIMS IN MALAYSIA: THE MALAY TIES WITH THE MUJAHIDIN, AL QAEDA AND ISIS Muhammad Izzuddin Jaafar & *Elmira Akhmetova Deptartment of History and Civilization, International Islamic University Malaysia P.O. Box 10, 50728 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Received: 26 Jun 2019 Accepted: 10 Dec 2019 ABSTRACT This study discusses the reasons behind the rise of religious extremism in Malaysia within the framework of international politics and the world order by highlighting the ties of Malay Muslims with the Mujahidin, Al Qaeda and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) over the last four decades. For that purpose, a qualitative analytical approach is used, referencing secondary sources such as academic journal articles and scholarly books. In understanding the situation, online newspaper articles were also considered as secondary sources to extract the data to understand the destructive situation in Malaysia, which has gradually become a fertile ground for the sowing of radical ideas. The paper highlights that since the 1970s, religious extremism and radicalism have intensified due to the Cold War politics, the conflict between Palestine and Israel, and, later, foreign invasions of Muslim nation-states, giving rise to many local religious extremist groups with their relations to international extremist groups. Analysis of the secondary sources reveals the existence of a radical understanding of Islam by a substantial portion of the population, thus suggesting that the authorities should pay attention to extremist influences on the moderate nature of social relations in multi-ethnic and multi-religious Malaysia.

  • Believing in Extremism: What Drives Our Youths
    Believing in Extremism: What Drives Our Youths A study of young adults in Malaysia of their normative beliefs about violent extremism and its associations with socio-demographic and psychological characteristics. October 2019 www.imanresearch.com Foreword The politics of violence and extremist trends is on the rise and is hurting nearly every region in the world, from the Middle East, Africa, Asia to Europe and America. While not new, violent extremism and terrorism has become cross-border especially with the help of more modern tools and gadgets. Technological advancement has benefited humanity greatly, but it has also unintended consequences. Hijacked by extremist groups, giving them a whole new platform to spew their propaganda of hate, this phenomenon has reached even the most remote corners of the world – how else do we explain youths as young as 15-year-old British girl willingly joining ISIS half way across the world. Or how can the Christchurch terrorist be inspired by the Norwegian mass shooting. The internet has indeed broken-down barriers and borders, in more ways than one. Malaysia, a small country of 31 million has also not been spared. According to our Home Ministry, as of 31 July 2019 – 519 have been arrested for terrorism related activities. That is a sizeable number especially when compared to the size of the country. At the same time, we are also seeing the rise in ethno-religious tensions. Hence, it is timely that as a member of civil society, IMAN Research has attempted to understand better Malaysian youths since they are the most disproportionately affected and influenced.

  • Strategies for Combating Dark Networks
    Journal of Social Structure JoSS Article: Volume 12 JoSS Strategies for Combating Dark Networks Nancy Roberts Department of Defense Analysis, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA 93943 [email protected] Sean F. Everton Department of Defense Analysis, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA 93943 [email protected] Abstract Our goal in this paper is to explore two generic approaches to disrupting dark networks: kinetic and non- kinetic. The kinetic approach involves aggressive and offensive measures to eliminate or capture network members and their supporters, while the non-kinetic approach involves the use of subtle, non-coercive means for combating dark networks. Two strategies derive from the kinetic approach: Targeting and Capacity-building. Four strategies derive from the non-kinetic approach: Institution-Building, Psychological Operations, Information Operations and Rehabilitation. We use network data from Noordin Top’s South East Asian terror network to illustrate how both kinetic and non-kinetic strategies could be pursued depending on a commander’s intent. Using this strategic framework as a backdrop, we strongly advise the use of SNA metrics in developing alterative counter-terrorism strategies that are context- dependent rather than letting SNA metrics define and drive a particular strategy. Key Words Dark networks, counter-terrorism, counter-insurgency, strategy Acknowledgements We would like to thank JoSS editor James Moody and two anonymous reviewers for their careful reading of our paper. Their thoughtful comments greatly enhanced the final version of this paper. 1 Introduction Tracking dark networks, i.e., illegal and covert networks (Raab & Milward, 2003), has a relatively long history. Considerable effort and energy have gone into gathering and analyzing data to flesh out networks’ relational structures and members’ locations.

  • Textual Analysis of Tempo News Magazine Representation of Terrorism
    87 Textual Analysis of Tempo News Magazine Representation of Terrorism Prayudi Program Studi Ilmu Komunikasi Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “ Veteran” Yogyakarta Jl. Babarsari No. 2 Tambakbayan Yogyakarta 55282, Telp. (0274) 485268 HP. 0815 680 1807, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract This research analyses how the Indonesian news media represents issue of terrorism within Indonesian context. An attempt by the news media institutions in representing reality incorpo- rates technology to produce and to distribute texts; institution where technology is formed and controlled to produce texts; and cultural forms relate to the structuring of media technology and organization; how language and meaning are composed into codes. Further, news media institu- tions must also consider political and cultural contexts of the event. Thus, controversial and crucial issues like terrorist attack and international war on terror are represented in accordance with internal policy of news media institutions and the consideration of cultural and political contexts. Tempo weekly news magazine is the news media under study. The research finding indicates that Tempo focused on the investigation process and the un-cover of terrorist network. Both issues were constructed within strong political and cultural perspectives that become the characteristic of Tempo as a news media that is critical and free from any pressures. Actuality, in-depth reporting and accuracy represent Tempo’s strong and independent editorial policy.
