KENYATAAN MEDIA YB. DATUK DR. EWON EBIN MENTERI SAINS, TEKNOLOGI DAN INOVASI MALAYSIA MERANGKAP AHLI PARLIMEN P.179 RANAU MENGENAI 52 GEMPA SUSULAN SEHINGGA JAM 12.00 TENGAHARI, 7 JUN 2015 : KEJADIAN GEMPA BUMI 5.9 SKALA RITCHER PADA 5 JUN 2015 DI RANAU, SABAH Sehingga 12.00 tengahari, 7 Jun 2015, sebanyak 52 gempa bumi susulan telah berlaku dengan kekuatan lemah antara 1.6 hingga 4.5 pada Skala Ritcher yang boleh menyebabkan bahaya tanah runtuh di sekitar Gunung Kinabalu. Oleh itu, orang ramai dinasihatkan berhati-hati dan sentiasa mengambil langkah berjaga-jaga. Mengenai hal warna air di Hot Spring berubah menjadi hitam, menurut kajian pakar geologi, ia merupakan fenomena biasa selepas berlaku gempa bumi disebabkan berlakunya percampuran tanah/lumpur. Sebagai perkongsian, Gunung Kinabalu sudah terbentuk 7 - 8 juta tahun dahulu. Pada asalnya ianya merupakan gunung berapi tetapi telah mati atau ‘dorman’ dan kini tiada sebarang petunjuk mengatakan ianya kembali aktif dan kali terakhir berlaku letupan gunung berapi ialah puluhan ribu tahun dahulu iaitu di Tawau dan Semporna. Makluman bersama, Jabatan Meteorologi Malaysia (MetMalaysia), Kementerian Sains, Teknologi dan Inovasi (MOSTI) telah menubuhkan War Room bertempat di Pejabat Meteorologi Kota Kinabalu, Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kota Kinabalu sebagai tempat rujukan orang awam untuk mendapatkan maklumat terkini mengenai status gempa bumi tersebut dan gempa-gempa susulan yang berlaku dengan menghubungi talian 088-413 690 @ 088-413 691.

Scandal, and Its Impact on Malaysian Domestic Politics
POLITIKA: Jurnal Ilmu Politik Vol.11, No. 2, 2020 doi: 10.14710/politika.11.2.2020.198-218 1MDB (1 Malaysia Development Berhad), Scandal, and Its Impact on Malaysian Domestic Politics Ali Maksum Department of International Relations, Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta Recieved: 11 Desember 2019 Revised: 14 Januari 2020 Published: 20 Oktober 2020 Abstrak: This article examines the publicly discussed 1 Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal and its impact on Malaysian domestic politics. Following this case, Najib Razak as prime minister of Malaysia was under pressure. This is because of the strong allegation of Najib Razak’s involvement in the 1MDB scandal. This issue became public discourse after the widely report made by New York-based media Wall Street Journal concerning Najib’s abuse on the corporate asset. The scandal not only shakes Najib’s political coalition but also indirectly has provoked public distrust against him including from his political Guru, Mahathir Muhammad. Dr Mahathir openly accuses Najib’s behaviour and declare to quit from his longest loyal party, UMNO. Later on, this scenario has created a new political landscape in Malaysia. Therefore, this article attempts to examine the new Malaysian political landscape specifically the relationship of BN and the opposition vis-à-vis Mahathir political alliance. Nevertheless, history has witnessed that in the last election, Pakatan Harapan won the most dramatical election ever since the independence of Malaysia and UMNO-BN has lost the power. Yet, the political scenario surrounding 1MDB scandal and the relationship between UMNO-BN vis-à-vis other parties became one of the stories that always trigger public discourse, even until today.
