Damages will be awarded to Khalid next month. File pic KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 PAS lawmaker Khalid Samad today won a judgment against Umno-owned Utusan Melayu over a defamatory article from two years ago. Khalid had sued the publishers of Utusan Malaysia last year over the article Zulkifli bidas Pak Janggut (Zulkifli blasts Bearded Man) published in September 2009, which he claimed was libellous in nature. In making his ruling today, High Court justice Dr Prasad Sandosham Abraham agreed with the Shah Alam MPs assertions, and added that the newspaper had published the article without first verifying the veracity of its contents. Abraham later set October 11 for the determination of damages to be awarded to Khalid.

Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry Dato Mukhriz Mahathir demanded that Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng also apologise to the whole of Malaysia, instead just to HRH Sultan of Johor. He questions the credibility of the Chinese Chauvinist DAP Secretary General and the immature but sinister political games that he played. This statement: While its appropriate that Lim Guan Eng apologizes to DYMM Tuanku Sultan Johor & his subjects, he must also apologize to all Malaysians, for arrogantly stating that he said no such thing about Johor, only later to admit & apologize that he did. Lims threat to sue the media for incorrectly reporting that he had made disparaging remarks in an interview with an Australian radio station and his claim that the remarks were in fact made privately in a closed-door session with the Foreign Correspondents Association of Singapore are moot points and designed to divert the attention away from the main issues. Is it not an oxymoron to have...

Inilah yang dikatakan ultra kiasu chauvanis dan rasis,Lim Guan Eng hanya mohon maaf sekadar melepaskan batuk di tangga.Maaf Guan Eng seperti mengetuk kepala orang sambil memohon maaf.Pijak kepala orang sambil kata maaf.Bolehkah kita terima maaf yang sebegini?

Ketua menteri paling celaka dalam sejarah kerajaan "ngeri" Pulau Pinang beranggapan kenyataan jahat beliau diputarbelitkan.Adakah kenyataan menghina Johor beliau dianggap putar belit oleh media? Jadi maknanya Guan Eng masih tetap ...

Oleh TG Azman TG Abas KUALA LUMPUR, 30 Sept Naib Ketua Pemuda UMNO, Datuk Razali Ibrahim berkata setiap orang Islam sama sekali tidak akan menolak hukum hudud malah akan menyokong sepenuhnya pelaksanaan ke arah itu kerana ianya adalah hukum yang terkandung di dalam Al-quran. Justeru beliau membidas mana-mana pihak yang cuba membuat pelbagai fitnah dan dakwaan kononnya UMNO menolak hudud kerana sebagai orang Islam Hudud diakui adalah yang terbaik. Namun beliau mengingatkan jika pelaksanaan itu tidak menepati apa yang ditekankan Islam, ianya dikhuatiri boleh memberi imej buruk kepada Islam kerana Islam itu adalah syumul yang memberikan keadilan kepada semua pihak.

Lim said having dual punishment systems would be unconstitutional. File pic KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 No state in Malaysia is empowered to implement hudud laws on their own as such matters fall under federal jurisdiction, the Bar Council said today. Lim Chee Wee, who is Bar Council president, explained that the Federal Constitution only allowed individual states to enact laws and respective punishments for offences against Islam. These offences, he pointed out, excluded those already provided for under federal legislation and there cannot be any replication of state laws with the federal laws. The law, as it stands, does not allow for the implementation of hudud by the states, he said in a statement today. Lim also said that it was unconstitutional to provide different forms of punishment for Muslims and non-Muslims. These laws, if enacted, must themselves be consistent with fundamental liberties guaranteed to all citizens, including Muslims, under Part II of the Federal Constitution. Ci...

Sebagaimana yang dijangka, PAS akhirnya tewas lagi ditangan DAP. Setelah kalah pada pusingan pertama berhubung isu penubuhan Negara Islam atau Daulah Islamiyyah, PAS sekali lagi tunduk kowtow kepada rejim DAP pimpinan Karpal dan Kit Siang. Sudah 2-0 jadinya sekarang. Jika dikaji sejak mula PAS menyertai Pakatan Haram pada tahu 2008 (itupun disebabkan menghadapi PRU dan kebetulan menang sebab orang marah pada Pak Lah dan KJ), PAS dilihat begitu lekeh sekali di dalam pakatan setan tersebut. Mungkin itulah balasan Allah kepada mereka yang kononnya pejuang Islam, tapi sanggup berpeluk dengan orang-orang yang mereka sendiri anggap syaitan sebelum ini. Nah! Kini, kepada sesiapa saja dari PAS, termasuk Mursyidul Am atau Ketua Dewan Pemuda PAS sendiri, jika mereka berbunyi lagi mengenai hudud atau perlaksanaannya, maka mereka boleh dijatuhkan hukuman disiplin oleh Pakatan Haram itu. Maknanya, hudud sudah dibuang 100% dari kamus Pakatan Haram, termasuk PAS. Jadi, jangan lagi gatal-gatal mulut n...

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 A spate of corporate takeover bids has raised eyebrows and questions about whether there is a concerted move by government-linked companies (GLCs) to buy over ethnic Chinese-owned assets or a vote of no confidence in the economy by major business tycoons.

SERDANG, Sept 30 Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has waded into the fierce debate over the use of English in teaching science and mathematics in schools, saying Malaysians cannot afford to sacrifice Bahasa Malaysia for other languages. The education minister said that while the government recognised the importance of English as an international language, Bahasa Malaysia will continue to be used as the main teaching tool in national schools. We cannot sacrifice our national language for another language. I am a strong proponent of English, we should strengthen the command of English and (at the same) continue the use of Bahasa Melayu as the main language in schools, Muhyiddin (picture) said today during a dialogue session with Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) students and academic staff. The deputy prime minister said Malaysians needed to cultivate an attitude where they treated Bahasa Malaysia as a unique language, and if no importance was placed on it the language risked being lost.

A little over a month ago, former Malaysia Airlines Chairman Tan Sri Tajudin Ramli took online news portal The Malaysian Insider, the Chief Editor Jahabar Sadiq and writer Syazwan Mustafa Kamal to court . It was for spewing continuous lies that Tajudin aggregated a loss of RM 8 billion during his tenure. The amount of RM 200 million was the same record suit against a media company in Malaysia. MI never substantiated their claims. Malaysia Airlines is a plc. Its annual returns is readily available for public consumption. Through out Tajudins service in the national carrier, Malaysia Airlines only aggregated RM 908.4 million losses. Even that, was mainly attributable to loss of foreign exchange and the effect on currency attack during the Asian Financial Crisis 1997-8. In fact till March 1997, Malaysia Airlines were showing hefty profits. Since MI vehemently refused to retract their 31 March 2011 piece MACC clears AG on graft charges , they had to face to suit when Tajudins lawyers prese...

Isu pelaksanaan hukum hudud yang mahu dilakukan oleh Pas menjadi kontroversi sehinggakan semua pemimpin pakatan pembangkang diarah mengunci mulut daripada mengeluarkan sebarang kenyataan berhubung pelaksanaannya dan kemudian membuat tuduhan pada UMNO dan Barisan Nasional (BN) sedangkan ia tidak berkait langsung.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 A former senior police officer called today on deputy public prosecutors to show the courage and will to charge the Attorney-General with abuse of power. Datuk Mat Zain Ibrahim dismissed the notion that Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail is the sole Public Prosecutor as section 376(3) of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) allows his subordinates to bring criminal charges against anyone to court. Any DPP has the power to prosecute the A-G if they want to, anyone amongst them who has the courage and will. No one can stop them, not even the prime minister, the retired city criminal investigation chief said. Mat Zain has repeatedly accused Abdul Gani (picture) of abuses of power, beginning with the 1998 Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahims black eye.
