#kerajaangagal16 – In failing to establish a RCI on IGP Hamid Bador’s serious allegations about corruption and interference with police independence and professionalism, is Muhyiddin a worse Prime Minister than Abdullah Badawi who set up a RCI on Lingam Tapes with regard to illegal  fixing of   judicial appointments?

(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)

The Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Ahmad Hamid Bador is ending his tenure as the No. 1 Policeman in the country on Tuesday with more than  a flourish as his farewell press conference on Friday outlined what prevented the Royal Police Force from being  an independent,   professional and world-class  police force and what afflicted the  Malaysian society, viz:

1. Political intervention in the police force.

2. Political interference in the Police Force Commission.

3. Corruption in the civil service and the  political arena.

4. “Unintelligent Ministers” who asked to loosen roadblocks during MCO and CMCOs.

5. Malaysia’s descent into a kakistocracy.

Hamid Bador’s farewell press conference on Friday  reminds Malaysians of the “It looks like me, it sounds like me, but it is not me” Lingam Tapes episode in 2007 which led to the establishment of a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the fixing of judges for appointments and promotions.

In failing to establish a RCI on IGP Hamid Bador’s serious allegations about corruption and interference with police independence and professionalism, is Muhyiddin a worse Prime Minister than Abdullah Badawi who set up a RCI on Lingam Tapes with regard to illegal intervention into the judicial appointment process?

What is holding back Muhyiddin from doing what is right and proper for the country, when he should know national interests demand such a RCI being formed immediately?

Is the bloated Muhyiddin Cabinet just a Cabinet of yes-men and self-seekers who dare not decide on a RCI on the IGP’s many serious allegations?

Two days have passed and Muhyiddin has kept his silence  on the issue.

When will he speak on the IGP’s shocking exposes?

On the Covid-19 pandemic front, the country heaved a sigh of relief when it was reported that the daily increase of new Covid-19 cases have fallen below the three-thousand mark to 2,881 cases – after three straight days exceeding the 3,000-mark.

But is Malaysia out of danger from a fourth Covid-19 wave which even the Yang di Pertuan Agong is worried about?

The Malaysian authorities must devise defty and creatively new  ways and means whereby human beings can live with Covid-19 virus, as from all accounts, the Covid-19 virus is going to be around for at least one or two years – even if we succeed in accelerating the national vaccination process, which unfortunately, is not the case.

Nations have realised the great cost to the economy and social life if we use blunt instruments like national lockdowns, which will kill virus as well as economies involving human lives.

India is indeed a bad example. On Friday,  India became the first country which had surpassed 400,000 cases in a single day.

That brought  the country’s total Covid-19 caseload to more than 19 million since the pandemic began, and marks the 10th consecutive day of more than 300,000 daily cases, and the new  Covid-19 caseload yesterday (Saturday)  is still a crippling 392,562 new cases and 3,638 deaths. India’s total Covid-19 fatality now stands at 215,523, the fourth nation with the most Covid-19 fatalities, after USA  (590,525 deaths), Brazil (404,287 deaths on Friday) and Mexico (216,907 deaths).

Yesterday, I asked why is Malaysia looking at India, which is undergoing the horrors and devastation of the new Covid wave with shortage of oxygen for the whole country while New Delhi runs out of wood for cremations, when Malaysia should aim to become like nations in East Asia, ASEAN and Pacific with better performance in combatting the Covid-19 virus, like Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand or even Singapore.

I am not surprised that there had been no reply from any government Minister, as it describes a country lurching towards a kakistocracy.

Now, intensive care unit beds for Covid-19 patients at public hospitals in the Klang Valley are nearing full capacity, with  88 percent of the 152 ICU beds available for Covid-19 patients occupied.

Clearly, the emergency  and the suspension of Parliament since January 12 have failed to combat the Covid-19 pandemic in Malaysia.

Will the Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin advise the Yang di Pertuan Agong to end the emergency and to immediately convene Parliament to spearhead an “all-of-government” and “whole-of-society” national mobilisation in the war against the Covid-19 pandemic in Malaysia?

==========================

#kerajaangagal16 — Dengan kegagalan untuk menubuhkan RCI untuk menyiasat dakwaan berat KPN Hamid Bador mengenai masalah rasuah dan kacau tangan dalam kebebasan dan profesionalisme pasukan Polis, adakah Muhyiddin seorang Perdana Menteri yang lebih buruk daripada Abdullah Badawi yang menubuhkan RCI untuk menyiasat Pita Rakaman Lingam mengenai penetapan haram pelantikan kehakiman?

Ketua Polis Negara, Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador akan menamatkan tempoh perkhidmatan beliau sebagai pegawai polis nombor satu negara pada hari Selasa selepas menyatakan pada hari Jumaat lepas, perkara-perkara yang telah menghalang Polis DiRaja Malaysia daripada menjadi satu pasukan polis yang bebas, profesional, dan bertaraf dunia, iaitu:

1.  Campur tangan politik dalam pasukan polis

2.  Campur tangan politik dalam Suruhanjaya Pasukan Polis.

3.  Rasuah dalam perkhidmatan awam dan gelanggan politik.

4.  “Menteri tidak bijak” yang meminta supaya sekatan jalan raya dilonggarkan semasa PKP dan PKPB.

5.  Malaysia menjadi sebuah kakistokrasi.

Majlis sidang media perpisahan Hamid Bador pada hari Jumaat mengingatkan kita semua kepada episod pita rakaman Lingam “Nampak macam saya, bunyi macam saya, tapi bukan saya” pada tahun 2007 yang membawa kepada penubuhan Suruhanjaya Siasatan Diraja mengenai pelantikan dan kenaikan pangkat hakim.

Dengan gagal untuk menubuhkan RCI mengenai dakwaan Hamid Bador tentang masalah rasuah dan campur tangan politik dalam pasukan polis, adakah Muhyiddin seorang Perdana Menteri yang lebih teruk daripada Abdullah Badawi, yang menubuhkan RCI untuk menyiasat skandal pita rakaman Lingam?

Apakah yang menghalang Muhyiddin daripada melakukan perkara yang betul dan berpatutan untuk negara kita, apabila beliau sendiri tahu yang penubuhan RCI ini adalah untuk kepentingan negara?

Adakah Kabinet gergasi Muhyiddin ini hanya penuh dengan pak turut yang hanya mementingkan kepentingan diri sendiri yang tidak berani untuk membangkitkan isu RCI mengenai pelbagai dakwaan-dakwaan berat KPN ini?

Dua hari telah berlalu dan Muhyiddin masih diam seribu bahasa mengenai perkara ini.

Bilakah beliau akan bersuara mengenai pendedahan mengejut oleh KPN ini?

Dari segi wabak Covid-19 pula, seluruh negara menghembus nafas lega apabila kadar kenaikan kes baharu semalam dilaporkan turun di bawah kadar 2,881 kes — selepas tiga hari berturut-turut berada di atas 3,000 kes.

Namun, adakah Malaysia kini telah terselamat daripada kemungkinan berhadapan dengan gelombang keempat wabak ini yang telah merisaukan Baginda Yang di Pertuan Agong sendiri?

Pihak berkuasa di Malaysia perlu merangka cara dan strategi baharu yang kreatif untuk membolehkan kita semua hidup bersama dengan virus ini dengan selamat kerana wabak ini akan terus bersama dengan kita untuk setahun dua yang akan datang — walaupun jika kita berjaya menjayakan program imunisasi Covid-19 kebangsaan, yang malangnya tidak berlaku.

Negara-negara di seluruh dunia telah menyedari kos besar terhadap ekonomi dan kehidupan sosial sekiranya kita menggunakan alat-alat seperti sekatan pergerakan di seluruh negara yang bakal membunuh penularan virus dan juga ekonomi manusia.

India adalah satu contoh yang buruk. Pada hari Jumaat, India menjadi negara pertama yang mencatatkan lebih 400,000 kes baharu.

Kejadian ini menjadi jumlah kes terkumpul di negara tersebut untuk bertambah kepada lebih daripada 19 juta sejak daripada permulaan wabak ini, dan menandakan hari kesepuluh berturut-turut dengan peningkatan atas 300,000 kes sehari di India. Kadar kes baharu di India semalam masih lagi tinggi dengan 392,562 kes dan 3,638 kematian. Jumlah korban nyawa di India adalah 215,523, negara keempat dengan kematian tertinggi selepas Amerika Syarikat (590,525 kematian), Brazil (404.287 kematian), dan Mexico (216,907 kematian).

Semalam, saya menanyakan, mengapa Malaysia melihat kepada India yang sedang berhadapan dengan kemusnahan dengan gelombang baharu Covid-19 dengan kekurangan bekalan oksigen di seluruh negara sedangkan New Delhi pula mengalami kekurangan kayu api untuk pembakaran jenazah, sedangkan Malaysia perlu berazam untuk menjadi seperti negara-negara Asia Timur, ASEAN, dan kawasan Pasifik yang mencatatkan prestasi yang lebih baik dalam melawan wabak Covid-19 seperti Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand, atau Singapura.

Saya tidak terkejut apabila saya tidak mendapat apa-apa maklum balas daripada mana-mana menteri kerajaan, menandakan yang kita sedang terjunam ke arah kakistokrasi.

Kini, katil di unit rawatan rapi untuk pesakit Covid-19 di Lembah Klang telah menghampiri kapasiti penuh, dengan 88 peratus daripada 152 katil ICU digunakan.

Jelas sekali darurat dan penggantungan Parlimen sejak 12 Januari telah gagal untuk menghalang penularan wabak Covid-19 di Malaysia.

Adakah Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin akan menasihati Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di Pertuan Agong untuk menamatkan darurat dan memanggil Parlimen bersidang untuk menggerakkan usaha melibatkan “keseluruhan kerajaan” dan “keseluruhan masyarakat” dalam perang melawan wabak Covid-19?

#kerajaangagal16 – Musa Hassan should know that just because a wrong was committed in the past, it should not  be allowed to continue and the simple truism that two wrongs do not make a right

(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)

I do not know what the former Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Musa Hasan is trying to do or say.

He said there was nothing new in politicians interfering with police affairs as it has happened even during his tenure as Inspector-General of Police which disrupted police operations.

He told Utusan Malaysia:

“During my time, there were politicians who asked the police to release their gang members and there were also those who gave instructions to state police chiefs without my knowledge.

“These political interferences in investigations have occurred to the point it disrupted investigations.”

Musa Hassan had failed as Inspector-General of Police in not stopping such political interference with police functions, which explained why the Royal Malaysian Police failed to become an independent, professional and world-class police force under him as IGP from 2006 to 2010 and before 2006 when he was Deputy IGP.

If Musa had  acted against such abuses and malpractices   when he was Deputy IGP and  IGP or at least spoken up like Hamid Bador had done, it would not have taken such a long time for the Malaysian Police to become an efficient,  ethical, independent, professional and world-class police force.

Let Musa declare whether he agrees that it is a gross abuse of power and even unconstitutional for the Chairman of the Police Force Commission, who is the Home Minister Hamzah Zainuddin, to usurp the powers and duties of the IGP to  decide on the appointment of senior police officers.

Musa Hassan should know that just because a wrong was committed in the past, it should not  be allowed to continue and the simple truism that two wrongs do not make a right.

One reason why Malaysia cannot fulfil the Malaysian Dream of Malaysia as a world-class great nation and  was  in decline and regression in the last half a century, with one country after another overtaking us,  was because top office-holders were oblivious to such simple truths.

Was Musa Hassan’s appointment as IGP had  anything to do with such abuses of power  and political interference?

I may be wrong, but  Musa’s greatest achievement in his whole life was the unforgettable image he gave to Malaysians of a semen-stained mattress being carried in and out of court every day during Anwar Ibrahim’s first trumped-up  trial for sodomy in 1998.

It is  a special irony that during his time as IGP and Deputy IGP, we had a Prime Minister who started his premiership with flying colours, setting up a Royal Commission of Inquiry on Police Reforms, chaired by former Chief Justice, Tun Dzaiddin and with the former IGP, Tun Hanif Omar as deputy chairmen.

It was this Royal Commission which proposed in 2014 which recommended the establishment of an Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC).

If the IPCMC had been set up, A. Ganapathy would not have died in police custody, as the IPCMC was proposed to end  deaths in police custody.

Now, Ganapathy’’s   family lawyer K Ganesh said a reward RM10,000 for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for Ganapathy’s death, whether directly or indirectly.

The reward was being put up by an anonymous contributor who was allegedly once a victim of police brutality too.

Looking back, Musa cannot deny his major role in leading the police to oppose the IPCMC proposal, until it is still not implemented after 17 years.

The Pakatan Harapan Government was on the verge of setting up the IPCMC when it was toppled from power by the Sheraton Move conspiracy which ushered in an incompetent, backdoor, undemocratic, kakistocratic and illegitimate government.

Does Musa regret leading the police opposition to the IPCMC when he was Deputy IGP and later IGP for four years, as it would be a major step in transforming the Royal Malaysian Police into an independent, professional and world-class police force?

Does Musa agree that the entire Muhyiddin Cabinet should now read or re-read the Royal Commission Report on Police Reforms and its 125 recommendations which was presented to the Yang di Pertuan Agong on April 29, 2005?

Let us all be reminded of the following two  findings of the Police Royal Commission:

·   “Compliance with prescribed laws and human rights standards. Malaysian law generally complies with the fundamental freedoms enshrined in the Federal Constitution and police procedures laid down in the Inspector-General Standing Orders (IPSO) also generally conform to human rights requirements. However, the Commission’s findings are that there is extensive and consistent abuse of human rights in the implementation of these laws and standing orders by PDRM personnel.  This has added to the erosion of integrity in the police service and further undermined the trust of the public in this important institution.” (p. 4)

·   “The culture of impunity: Of growing concern around the world is the ‘culture of impunity’ within police forces and PDRM is not exempted. The combination of individual and systemic acts of corruption and a lack of transparency and oversight leads to a police culture held accountable by neither internal nor external checks.

“A culture of impunity feeds on itself. When officers act in contravention of laws and regulations without fear or investigation or reprimand, the culture of impunity begins to develop. Each wrongdoing that is not investigated or punished or is supported by higher ranks within the police leadership, leads to the perception that such misconduct is permissible.  (p. 122)”

Does Musa now support IGP Hamid Bador’s success in achieving a consensus among  the police consenting to the formation of an IPCMC after a meeting of some 20 top police officers with the Governance, Integrity and Anti-Corruption Centre (GIACC) director-general Ab Kassim Mohamaed  in May 2019?

Malaysia’s 13th IGP, Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani, will start his duties tomorrow. What is his stand on IPCMC?

=============================

#kerajaangagal16 – Musa Hassan sepatutnya lebih tahu, bahawa perkara yang salah tetap salah, walaupun ia berlaku sejak sekian lama tanpa sebarang tindakan dan hukuman

Saya tidak faham apa yang cuba dilakukan atau diperkatakan oleh mantan Ketua Polis Negara, Tan Sri Musa Hasan.

Beliau berkata, tiada apa yang baharu berhubung pendedahan campur tangan ahli politik dalam pasukan polis kerana ia telah berlaku sejak dahulu lagi, malah ketika beliau menjadi Ketua Polis Negara (KPN).

Beliau memberitahu Utusan Malaysia: “Ketika zaman saya dahulu, ada orang politik yang suruh polis bebaskan geng mereka dan ada juga yang beri arahan kepada Ketua Polis Negeri tanpa pengetahuan saya.

“Campur tangan politik ini berlaku membabitkan operasi sehingga ia boleh menyebabkan proses siasatan terganggu.”

Musa Hassan telah gagal menjalankan tanggungjawabnya sebagai Ketua Polis Negara untuk menghentikan campur tangan politik dalam pasukan polis, yang mana menjelaskan mengapa Pasukan Polis Diraja Malaysia telah gagal untuk menjadi sebuah pasukan polis yang bebas, profesional dan bertaraf dunia di bawah kepimpinan beliau sebagai KPN dari tahun 2006 sehingga 2010 dan sebelum 2006 semasa beliau menjawat jawatan Timbalan KPN.

Jika Musa bertindak terhadap penyalahgunaan kuasa seumpama itu semasa beliau menjadi Timbalan KPN atau KPN atau sekurang-kurangnya menyuarakan ketidakpuasan hati beliau seperti mana yang dilakukan Hamid Bador, mungkin pasukan polis tidak akan mengambil masa yang lama untuk berubah menjadi lebih cekap, beretika, bebas, profesional dan bertaraf dunia.

Adakah Musa akan mengisytiharkan sama ada beliau bersetuju dengan penyalagunaan kuasa seumpama itu dan sama ada beliau boleh menerima tindakan tidak berpelembagaan Pengerusi Suruhanjaya Pasukan Polis merangkap Menteri Dalam Negeri, Hamzah Zainuddin merampas kuasa dan tugas KPN dalam menentukan pelantikan pegawai kanan polis yang baharu?

Musa Hassan sepatutnya lebih tahu, bawah perkara yang salah tetap salah, walaupun ia berlaku sejak sekian lama tanpa sebarang tindakan dan hukuman.

Salah satu sebab mengapa Malaysia tidak mampu mencapai Impian Malaysia untuk menjadikan negara ini sebuah negara hebat bertaraf dunia dan semakin mundur dalam tempoh setengah abad yang lalu, dengan semakin banyak negara memintas kita, adalah kerana pihak atasan tidak sedar akan hakikat itu.

Adakah campur tangan politik dan penyalahgunaan kuasa berlaku dalam pelantikan Musa Hassan sebagai KPN?

Mungkin saya salah, namun perlu diingat bahawa pencapaian terbaik Musa sepanjang hayatnya adalah meninggalkan imej yang terpahat erat di ingatan rakyat Malaysia apabila tilam dengan tompokan air mani diusung keluar masuk mahkamah sebagai bahan bukti dalam kes liwat pertama yang dihadapi Anwar Ibrahim pada 1998.

Ironinya, Ketika beliau menjadi KPN dan Timbalan PKN, kita mempunyai seorang Perdana Menteri yang memulakan tugasnya dengan begitu cemerlang sekali; menubuhkan Suruhanjaya Siasatan Diraja mengenai Pembaharuan Polis, yang dipengerusikan bekas Ketua Hakim Negara, Tun Dzaiddin dengan bekas KPN, Tun Hanif Omar sebagai timbalannya.

Suruhanjaya inilah yang mencadangkan penubuhan Suruhanjaya Bebas Aduan Salah Laku Polis (IPCMC) pada 2014.

Jika IPCMC ditubuhkan lama dahulu, sudah tentu A. Ganapathy tidak mati ketika berada dalam tahanan polis, kerana salah satu sebab penubuhan IPCMC adalah bertujuan untuk membendung kes seumpama itu.

Kini, peguam keluarga Ganapathy, K Ganesh mengumumkan ganjaran sebanyak RM10,000 kepada sesiapa yang mempunyai maklumat tentang pihak yang bertanggungjawab terhadap kematian mendiang.

Ganjaran itu ditawarkan oleh penyumbang tidak bernama yang mengakui turut pernah menjadi mangsa keganasan polis.

Jika dilihat balik, Musa sebenarnya tidak boleh menafikan hakikat bahawa beliau memainkan peranan dalam menolak cadangan penubuhan IPCMC yang masih tidak dilaksanakan sehingga hari ini sejak 17 tahun lalu.

Kerajaan Pakatan Harapan semakin hampir untuk menubuhkan IPCMC sebelum ia digulingkan oleh Langkah Sheraton yang membentuk sebuah kerajaan tidak sah, kakistokrasi, tidak demokratik dan caca-marba.

Adakah Musa menyesal dengan keputusannya menolak IPCMC semasa beliau menjadi Timbalan KPN dan KPN selama empat tahun, kerana badan itu sudah tentu dapat menjadikan Pasukan Polis Diraja Malaysia sebagai sebuah pasukan yang bebas, profesional dan bertaraf dunia.

Adakah Musa bersetuju bahawa Kabinet Muhyiddin harus membaca atau membaca semula laporan Suruhanjaya Siasatan Diraja mengenai Pembaharuan Polis dan 125 cadangannya yang mana telah dipersembahkan kepada Yang di-Pertuan Agong pada 29 April 2005?

Berikut adalah antara dapatan Suruhanjaya Pasukan Polis:

 · “Mematuhi undang-undang yang ditetapkan dan hak asasi manusia. Undang-undang Malaysia secara amnya mematuhi kebebasan asasi yang termaktub dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan dan prosedur polis yang ditetapkan dalam Perintah Tetap Ketua Polis Negara (IPSO) juga pada umumnya memenuhi syarat hak asasi manusia. Namun, penemuan Suruhanjaya adalah bahawa terdapat penyalahgunaan hak asasi manusia secara meluas dan konsisten dalam pelaksanaan undang-undang ini dan perintah tetap oleh anggota PDRM. Ini telah menambah penghakisan integriti dalam perkhidmatan polis dan semakin merosakkan kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap institusi penting ini” (hlm.4)

· “Budaya impuniti (bebas daripada hukuman): Kebimbangan yang semakin meningkat di seluruh dunia adalah ‘budaya impuniti’ dalam pasukan polis dan PDRM tidak terkecuali. Gabungan perlakuan rasuah individu dan sistemik dan kurangnya ketelusan dan pengawasan menyebabkan budaya polis terlepas daripada pemantauan di peringkat dalaman dan juga luaran.

“Budaya impuniti memakan diri. Apabila pegawai bertindak melanggar undang-undang dan peraturan tanpa rasa takut atau disiasat atau dikenakan teguran, budaya impuni mulai berkembang. Setiap kesalahan yang tidak disiasat atau dihukum atau disokong oleh pegawai yang lebih tinggi dalam kepemimpinan polis, mewujudkan persepsi bahawa kesalahan tersebut adalah dibenarkan. (hlm. 122)”

Adakah Musa akan menyokong kejayaan mantan KPN Hamid Badar dalam mendapatkan persetujuan pasukan polis untuk membentuk IPCMC dalam mesyuarat bersama 20 pegawai kanan polis dan ketua pengarah Pusat Governans, Integriti dan Anti-Rasuah Nasional (GIACC) Tan Sri Abu Kassim Mohamed pada Mei 2019?

KPN ke-13, Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani, akan memulakan tugasnya esok. Apakah agaknya pendirian beliau berhubung IPCMC?

#kerajaangagal17 – If an emergency cannot suspend the  Judiciary,  how  can it suspend Parliament which is the other branch in the  tripod of Executive, Legislature and Judiciary in the doctrine of separation of powers?

(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)

The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Parliament and Law) Takiyuddin Hassan has advised heads of services in the government to be more careful when speaking about the law and to refrain from making interpretations based on emotions.

Shouldn’t this apply to Cabinet Ministers, and in particular, to he himself as the Minister in the Prime Minister in charge of law and Parliament?

I want to ask Takiyuddin if an emergency cannot suspend the  Judiciary, how  can it suspend Parliament which is the other branch in the  tripod of Executive, Legislature and Judiciary in the doctrine of separation of powers?

I want to refer to his recent statement after more than three months after the declaration of emergency that Parliament will be called to convene when the right time comes either before or after the Covid-19 emergency ends, as it  was the best  evidence of a kakistocracy and #kerajaangagal.

Takiyuddin is belabouring under a most wrong and fallacious notion that he controls Parliament and decides whether Parliament can convene or not, that he is more powerful and more important than the Parliament Speaker, who is reduced in his eyes to a mere factotum.

Does Takiyuddin realise that the Speaker of Dewan Rakyat ranks No. 13 on the protocol list, as published in the Federal Order of Precedence, while a Cabinet Minister – including the Minister of Prime Minister’s Department (Parliament and Law) – is lower down the list, ranked No. 16 in the protocol list?

So it is a ridiculous notion if the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department regards himself as the Master of Parliament, who  alone decides whether Parliament can meet or not.

Under the Malaysian Constitution, which accepts the doctrine of the separation of powers, no Minister – not even the Prime Minister – can control or overrule Parliament, as otherwise it would make nonsense of the concept of Parliamentary oversight and scrutiny of the Executive and to be a constitutional check-and-balance of the Executive.

When Parliament convenes is not decided by Takiyuddin or the Prime Minister, but by the Malaysian Constitution which the Cabinet, including Takiyuddin, had violated in not allowing Parliament to meet.

It is not for Takiyuddin or any other Minister to seek the advice of the relevant agencies, especially the Health Ministry, on the convening of Parliament, but for the Speaker and the relevant Parliamentary Committees of MPs to seek the advice of the relevant agencies and to come to a decision what safeguards to take when facing the Covid-19 pandemic on the convening of Parliament.

The Muhyiddin Cabinet has turned the Malaysian Constitution upside down on its head.

It should not continue to ignore and violate the Constitution but should decide this Wednesday to advice the Yang di Pertuan Agong to convene Parliament – and leave the consequential matters like what safeguards to take in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic (with a threatening Fourth Covid Wave)  to the Speaker and the relevant Parliamentary Committees.

Coming back to the issue at hand, would Takiyuddin agree that it is grave  abuse of power and malpractice for the Home Minister and not the Inspector-General of Police to decide who should be the  Chief Police Officers of the various states, and whether he would  advise the Home Minister not to transgress into the  jurisdiction, powers and responsibilities of the IGP?

#kerajaangagal17 — Sekiranya darurat tidak boleh menggantung cabang kehakiman, bagaimana ia boleh menggantung Parlimen yang merupakan satu daripada tiga cabang berbeza kerajaan yang dipisahkan dengan doktrin pemisahan kuasa?

Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri (Hal Ehwal Parlimen dan Undang-undang), Takiyuddin Hassan telah menasihati ketua-ketua perkhidmatan dalam kerajaan untuk lebih berhati-hati dalam membuat kenyataan berkenaan undang-undang dan mengelakkan daripada membuat tafsiran berdasarkan emosi.

Bukankah perkara ini juga perlu dikenakan kepada Menteri Kabinet, terutuamanya beliau sendiri sebagai Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri yang bertanggungjawab ke atas perkara berkaitan undang-undang dan Parlimen?

Saya mahu menanyakan kepada Takiyuddin, sekiranya darurat tidak boleh menggantung cabang kehakiman, bagaimana ia boleh menggantung Parlimen yang merupakan satu daripada tiga cabang berbeza kerajaan yang dipisahkan dengan doktrin pemisahan kuasa?

Saya merujuk kepada kenyataan terkini beliau yang dikeluarkan lebih daripada tiga bulan selepas perisytiharan darurat bahawa Parlimen akan dipanggil bersidang apabila masa yang tepat telah tiba, sama ada sebelum atau selepas darurat Covid-19 tamat, yang merupakan bukti terbesar kakistokrasi dan #kerajaangagal.

Takiyuddin silap besar dengan memikirkan yang beliau mengawal Parlimen dan boleh menentukan sama ada Parlimen akan bersidang atau tidak. Beliau fikir beliau lebih berkuasa dan lebih penting daripada Speaker Parlimen yang kini kelihatan tidak penting di mata beliau.

Adakah Takiyuddin menyedari bahawa Yang di Pertua Dewan Rakyat berada di tempat ke-13 dalam senarai protokol seperti yang diterbitkan dalam Senarai Keutamaan Persekutuan, sedangkan seorang menteri kabinet — termasuklah Takiyuddin sendiri — berada di tempat yang lebih rendah di tempat ke-16 dalam senarai protokol ini?

Jadi amatlah tidak masuk akal sekiranya seorang Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri melihat dirinya sebagai “Superman” Parlimen yang boleh menentukan sama ada Parlimen bersidang atau pun tidak.

Di bawah peruntukan Perlembagaan Persekutuan yang menerima doktrin pemisahan kuasa, tidak ada mana-mana menteri — baik Perdana Menteri sekalipun — boleh mengawal atau mengatasi kuasa Parlimen, memandangkan perbuatan seperti itu akan menghina konsep dan kuasa semak imbang pihak eksekutif oleh Parlimen.

Bila Parlimen perlu bersidang bukanlah ditentukan oleh Takiyuddin atau Perdana Menteri, tetapi ditentukan oleh Perlembagaan Persekutuan, yang telah dicabuli oleh Kabinet, termasuklah Takiyuddin sendiri apabila mereka menghalang sidang Parlimen.

Bukanlah tugas Takiyuddin atau mana-mana menteri untuk mendapatkan nasihat mana-mana agensi berkenaan, terutamanya Kementerian Kesihatan mengenai persidangan Parlimen, sebaliknya, Yang di Pertua Dewan Rakyat dan Jawatankuasa-jawatankuasa berkenaan Parlimen yang perlu mendapatkan nasihat agensi berkenaan dan membuat keputusan mengenai apa tindakan yang perlu diambil untuk persidangan Parlimen dalam berhadapan dengan wabak Covid-19.

Kabinet Muhyiddin telah menyalah tafsir Perlembagaan Persekutuan.

Mereka tidak sepatutnya terus mengabaikan dan mencabuli Perlembagaan, sebaliknya perlu memutuskan pada hari Rabu ini untuk menasihati Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di Pertuan Agong untuk memanggil Parlimen bersidang — dan biarkan perkara-perkara di Parlimen diuruskan oleh Yang di Pertua Dewan dan jawatankuasa yang berkenaan.

Berbalik kepada isu semasa, adakah Takiyuddin bersetuju bahawa menjadi satu penyalahgunaan kuasa yang buruk dan juga kesalahan untuk seorang Menteri Dalam Negeri dan bukannya Ketua Polis Negara memutuskan siapa yang akan menjadi Ketua Polis Negara dalam pelbagai negeri, dan sama ada beliau akan menasihati Menteri Dalam Negeri untuk tidak melangkaui batasan bidang kuasa dan tanggungjawab KPN?

#kerajaangagal18 – Is there a fourth Covid wave in Malaysia, which returned to the dangerous level of daily increase of  3,418 new Covid cases while the highly-infectious  Indian double-mutant coronavirus  is detected in the country?

(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)

The national sigh of relief because the daily increase of new Covid-19 cases had fallen below the 3,000-mark after three straight days above 3,000 and 13 straight days above 2,000 lasted briefly for a day, when it sprung back to 3,418 cases.

Is Malaysia facing  the fourth Covid wave before the third Covid wave  – which is already the longest in the world lasting nine months as it started last September – could be fully brought  under control by first reducing the daily increase of new Covid-19 cases down to triple-digit  and then to double-digit figures?

What is most disturbing is that the highly-infectious Indian “double mutant” coronavirus is believed to be the chief cause of the vicious second wave of Covid in India, with grim scenes of people dying in hospital corridors, on roads and in their homes and where car parks have been turned into cremation grounds while desperate families scramble to find oxygen, medicines and hospital beds.

The apocalyptic scene of horror in India is underlined by the fact that since April 21, India had set new world record every day for the last two weeks for daily increase of new Covid-19 cases, which was previously held by the United States when it recorded a daily increase of 307,515 new cases on January 8, 2021. On

April 20, India registered the unbelievable daily increase of 402,110 cases and 3,522 deaths – which are themselves  believed to be  gross  under-estimates of the true situation.

There cannot be greater contrast in the Covid-19 pandemic between India and China – where thousands  are dying in India  every day because of Covid-19 with the Covid-19 toll exceeding 20,000 in the past week while in Wuhan, China where the Covid-19 pandemic first  started more than a year ago, thousands of people attended the first day of the Wuhan Strawberry Music Festival on Saturday and  danced, bounced and screamed with delight as some of their favourite acts took the stage.

Malaysia’s  tragedy is that we have no learnt the world-wide lessons of the Covid-19 pandemic, that despite proposals a year ago for an “all-of-government” and “whole-of-society” strategy and approach in the war against the Covid-19 pandemic, the backdoor, illegitimate  and kakistocratic government had blundered from one disaster to another, culminating in the biggest blunder of all – an emergency and suspension of Parliament.

Will the Cabinet on Wednesday decide that  the Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin should advise the Yang di Pertuan Agong to end the emergency and to immediately convene Parliament to spearhead an “all-of-government” and “whole-of-society” national mobilisation in the war against the Covid-19 pandemic in Malaysia?

What is most disturbing is that the highly-infectious Indian “double mutant” coronavirus is believed to be the chief cause of the vicious second wave of Covid in India, with grim scenes of people dying in hospital corridors, on roads and in their homes and where car parks have been turned into cremation grounds while desperate families scramble to find oxygen, medicines and hospital beds.

The apocalyptic scene of horror in India is underlined by the fact that since April 21, India had set new world record every day for the last two weeks for daily increase of new Covid-19 cases, which was previously held by the United States when it recorded a daily increase of 307,515 new cases on January 8, 2021. On

April 20, India registered the unbelievable daily increase of 402,110 cases and 3,522 deaths – which are themselves  believed to be  gross  under-estimates of the true situation.

There cannot be greater contrast in the Covid-19 pandemic between India and China – where thousands  are dying in India  every day because of Covid-19 with the Covid-19 toll exceeding 20,000 in the past week while in Wuhan, China where the Covid-19 pandemic first  started more than a year ago, thousands of people attended the first day of the Wuhan Strawberry Music Festival on Saturday and  danced, bounced and screamed with delight as some of their favourite acts took the stage.

Malaysia’s  tragedy is that we have no learnt the world-wide lessons of the Covid-19 pandemic, that despite proposals a year ago for an “all-of-government” and “whole-of-society” strategy and approach in the war against the Covid-19 pandemic, the backdoor, illegitimate  and kakistocratic government had blundered from one disaster to another, culminating in the biggest blunder of all – an emergency and suspension of Parliament.

Will the Cabinet on Wednesday decide that  the Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin should advise the Yang di Pertuan Agong to end the emergency and to immediately convene Parliament to spearhead an “all-of-government” and “whole-of-society” national mobilisation in the war against the Covid-19 pandemic in Malaysia?

=========================

#kerajaangagal18 — Adakah Malaysia sedang dilanda gelombang keempat wabak Covid, yang mana menyaksikan kenaikan harian kes baharu Covid-19 meningkat kepada 3,418 kes ditambah dengan kemunculan variasi baharu dari India di negara ini?

Negara menarik nafas lega selepas peningkatan harian kes baharu Covid-19 menurun di bawah paras 3,000 selepas tiga hari berturut-turut mencatatkan angka kes melebihi 3,000 dan 13 hari berturut-turut mencatatkan angka kes melebihi 2,000 yang mana bertahan cuma sehari, sebelum ia kembali meningkatkan kepada 3,418 kes.

Adakah Malaysia kini sedang berdepan dengan gelombang keempat Covid sebelum gelombang ketiga Covid — yang merupakan gelombang paling lama yang berlarutan selama sembilan bulan sejak September — dapat dikawal dengan mengurangkan kenaikan harian kes baharu Covid-19 kepada julat tiga angka dan seterusnya dua angka.

Apa yang paling membimbangkang adalah kemunculan varian mutan berganda yang dipercayai merupakan penyebab utama gelombang kedua Covid di India, yang menyaksikan begitu ramai rakyat negara itu mati bergelimpangan di koridor-koridor hospital, di jalan raya dan di rumah masing-masing serta pandangan menyayat hati di mana tempat letak kereta dijadikan kawasan pembakaran mayat, sementara terdapat juga ahli keluarga yang bergelut untuk mendapatkan bekalan oksigen, ubat-ubatan dan katil di hospital.

Situasi ngeri di India ini bermula sejak 21 April, selepas India mencipta rekod apabila mencatatkan peningkatan harian kes Covid-19 tertinggi di dunia, yang mana sebelum ini disandang oleh Amerika Syarikat yang mencatatkan peningkatan harian kes sebanyak 307,515 pada 8 Januari 2021.

Pada 20 April, India merekodkan kenaikan harian kes Covoid yang luar biasa iaitu sebanyak 402,110 kes dan 3,522 kematian – yang dikatakan hanya angka anggaran kasar berbanding situasi sebenar di lapangan.

Perbezaan ketara dapat dilihat di antara negara India dan China – di mana beribu-ribu orang mati di India setiap hari kerana Covid-19 dengan jumlah korban Covid-19 melebihi 20,000 pada minggu lalu sementara di Wuhan, China di mana pandemik wabak itu tercetus lebih setahun yang lalu, ribuan orang menghadiri Wuhan Strawberry Music Festival pada Sabtu dan menari, meloncat serta menjerit keriangan sewaktu artis kegemaran mereka muncul di atas pentas persembahan.

Tragedi yang melanda Malaysia kini adalah kerana kita tidak mengambil iktibar daripada negara-negara lain yang turut dilanda pandemik yang serupa, meskipun terdapat gesaan sejak setahun yang lalu supaya kerajaan menerapkan pendekatan dan strategi “keseluruhan kerajaan” dan “keseluruhan masyarakat” dalam usaha membasmi pandemik Covid-19, kerajaan pintu belakang, tidak sah dan kakistokrasi telah melakukan kesilapan demi kesilapan dan kesilapan terbesar terletak pada pengisytiharan darurat dan pengantungan Parlimen.

Adakah Kabinet yang akan bermesyuarat pada Rabu ini akan menentukan sama ada Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin wajar untuk menasihati Yang di Pertuan Agong untuk menamatkan darurat dan segera memanggil sidang Parlimen bagi mengerakkan pendekatan “keseluruhan kerajaan” dan “keseluruhan masyarakat” dalam usaha memerangi pandemik Covid-19 di Malaysia?

#kerajaangagal19 – Call on all the seven living ex-IGPs to speak up whether they had faced political interference in appointing State CPOs

(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)

There is now controversy whether the Inspector-General of Police has unfettered power to appoint State Chief Police Officers (CPOs) and  whether it is the Home Minister, Hamzah Zainuddin, in his capacity as chairman of the Police Force Commission, who is politically interfering in the matter by usurping the powers and functions of the IGP on the appointment of the  State CPOs.

In a recorded phone call, which the Home Minister Hamzah Zainuddin has admitted was his voice and that there was nothing  wrong with the phone call, Hamzah reiterated his position that as chairperson of the Police Force Commission, he is   responsible for the promotion and placement of police officers, including the appointment of State CPOs.

In the recording that began circulating a few days ago, Hamzah could be heard giving support to someone he referred to as “our boy” from Ipoh whose promotion will be “very good for us”.

“Do you want it if I give our boy… promote him? And he is a Perakian, Ipoh boy. Tuanku would surely like him,” he said. The identity of the person Hamzah was referring to is not known.

In the clip, Hamzah could also be heard speaking about an unknown person who is no longer allowed to decide appointments of Bukit Aman department directors and state police chiefs.

“Of course… that is why I will choose who. I know who Tuanku would be okay with and such.

“Now we want to decide on directors. Because I have taken over, I told him that you cannot have choices. You can give names, let’s say five people, let me know and we will decide.

“It is not for you to decide anymore like before. All state police chiefs you cannot decide,” Hamzah said in the clip.

This important matter needs to be resolved.

The longest-serving IGP from 1974-1994, Tun Hanif Omar Hanif said the Police Act gave the IGP the sole power to “command and control” the force, and the Home Minister as Chairman of the Police force Commission (SPP), had no such authority.

“While the SPP has its purpose as stated by the law minister, it does not include the running of the police force.” he said.

But Hamzah has the  full backing of the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Deparmtent (Parliament and Law), Takiyuddin Hassan, who is also the PAS Secretary-General.

Yesterday, Takiyuddin  ganged up with the Home Minister to give a perverted interpretation of Article 140 of the Malaysian Constitution, claiming that it “stipulated that the SPP oversaw matters related to promotions, discipline, welfare and other matters concerning police personnel” – in  an  apparent response to outgoing IGP Abdul Hamid Bador’s criticism of Hamzah’s interference in police matters.

Hanif said that in his 20 years as the IGP, he had no problems with his three ministers or the SPP – Ghazalie Shafie, Musa Hitam and Dr. Mahathir Mohamad.

None of his ministers, he said, had tried to interfere in the running of the force, and the SPP and its chairman kept strictly to their constitutional functions.

“Therefore, the SPP, as presently constituted, can work if everybody stays within their legal parameters.”

Article 40 of the Malaysian Constitution stipulates:

“140. (1) There shall be a Police Force Commission whose jurisdiction shall extend to all persons who are members of the police force and which, subject to the provisions of any existing law, shall be responsible for the appointment, confirmation, emplacement on the permanent or pensionable establishment, promotion, transfer and exercise of disciplinary control over members of the police force:

Provided that Parliament may by law provide for the exercise of such disciplinary control over all or any of the members of the police force in such manner and by such authority as may be provided in that law, and in that event, if the authority is other than the Commission, the disciplinary control exercisable by such authority shall not be exercised by the Commission; and no provision of such law shall be invalid on the ground of inconsistency with any provision of this Part.”

Former Bar President, Zainur Zakaria said  the law minister must have overlooked Article 140(7) of the Federal Constitution, which reads:

”7.  In this Article ‘transfer’ does not include transfer without change of rank within the police force.”

Zainur Zakaria said Takiyuddin was giving an ”inaccurate” interpretation of the Malaysian Constitution as  under Article 140(7) of the  Constitution, the commission does not have such power to determine who should be a State CPO  if it does not involve promotion or demotion in rank.

He said:  “This means the IGP can transfer police officers without referring to the commission where such postings do not affect any change of rank.”

Following revelations by Abdul Hamid Bador, former top cops said  there was no political interference in the police force in the past, not even in the promotions of officers.

Ex Criminal Investigation Department (CID) director Zaman Khan told The Malaysian Insight that all decisions in the police force then were decided by a committee headed by the Inspector-General of Police.

“During my time there was no interference. All promotions of police officers, from ASP and above, were made by a committee chaired by the IGP and his deputy.

“There were four directors and I was one of them. We sit in a conference room and we discuss the promotion of police officers.

“There will not be interference from any politicians and those who will get promoted will be screened, and even the anti-graft body will conduct a background check,” said Zaman.

Halim Ishak, a former elite police officer attached to the VAT69, mirrored Zaman’s sentiment.

Halim, who now chairs the Malaysian Community Care Foundation (MCCF) said if there was any interference, the involvement was not as serious.

“I do not think so, if there was, it was not as bad as now. It did not involve the promotion of (the) IGP or his deputy or senior police officers,” he said.

Halim suggested that politicians must stay out of the police commission force as the body needs to be free from any political influence.

“No minister should sit in the committee because the police need to be free from political influence,” said Halim.

Halim then questioned why the prime minister and the chief secretary to the government have not made any statement over the issue.

I call on all the seven living ex-IGPs to speak up whether they had faced political interference in appointing State CPOs. Hanif Omar, the longest-servintg IGP, has spoken up.

Let us hear from the other six living ex-IGPs, namely:

1.     Abdul Rahim Mohd Noor who served as IGP from 1994-1999;

2.     Norian Mai who served from 1999 – 2003;

3.     Musa Hassan who served from 2006 to 2010;

4.     Ismail Omar who served from 2010 to 2013;

5.     Khalid Abu Bakar who served from 2013 to 2017; and

6.     Mohd Fuzi Harun who served from 2017 to 2019.

Also let the nine  living ex-Home Ministers speak up whether as Chairman of the Police Commission, they had interfered with the appointment of State CPOs or whether they had left it entirely to the discretion of the then IGP. The living ex-Home Ministers are:

1.     Musa Hitam who was Home Minister from 1981 – 1986;

2.     Dr. Mahathir Mohamad who served from 1986 – 1999;

3.     Abdullah Badawi who served from 1999 to 2004;

4.     Azmi Khalid who served from 2004 to 2006;

5.     Mohd Radzi Sheikh Mohd who served from 2006 to 2008;

6.     Syed Hamid Albar who served from 2008 to 2009;

7.     Hishamuddin Hussein who served from 2009 to 2013;

8.     Ahmad Zahid Hamidi who served from 2013 to 2018;

9.     Muhyiddin Yassin who served from 2018 to 2020.

=============================

#kerajaangagal19 – Seruan kepada kesemua tujuh mantan KPN yang masih hidup untuk bersuara sama ada mereka berhadapan dengan campur tangan politik dalam melantik Ketua Polis Negeri

Kini terdapat kontroversi sama ada Ketua Polis Negara mempunyai kuasa untuk melantik Ketua Polis Negara (CPO) atau adakah Menteri Dalam Negeri, Hamzah Zainuddin, sebagai ketua Suruhanjaya Pasukan Polis yang berbuat demikian melalui campur tangan politik dalam perkara itu dengan merampas kuasa dan fungsi KPN melantik Ketua Polis Negeri.

Dalam panggilan telefon yang dirakam, yang diakui sendiri oleh Menteri Dalam Negeri Hamzah Zainuddin bahawa itu adalah suaranya dan bahawa tidak ada yang salah dengan panggilan telefon itu, Hamzah mengulangi kedudukannya bahawa sebagai pengerusi Suruhanjaya Pasukan Polis, beliau bertanggung jawab atas kenaikan pangkat dan penempatan pegawai polis, termasuk pelantikan Ketua Polis Negeri.

Dalam rakaman yang mulai beredar beberapa hari yang lalu, Hamzah didengar memberikan sokongan kepada seseorang yang disebutnya sebagai “orang kita” dari Ipoh yang mana pelantikannya akan menjadi “sangat baik untuk kita”.

“Adakah awak mahu jika saya berikannya kepada orang kita… lantik dia? Dan dia anak Perak, Ipoh. Tuanku pasti menyukainya, ”katanya. Identiti orang yang dimaksudkan oleh Hamzah tidak diketahui.

Dalam klip tersebut, Hamzah juga didengar bercakap mengenai orang yang tidak dikenali yang tidak lagi dibenarkan untuk membuat keputusan mengenai pelantikan pengarah jabatan di Bukit Aman dan ketua polis negeri.

“Sudah tentu … itulah sebabnya saya akan memilih siapa. Saya tahu dengan siapa Tuanku akan okay saja.

“Sekarang kami ingin memutuskan pengarah. Kerana saya telah mengambil alih, saya katakan kepada dia bahawa dia tidak boleh mempunyai pilihan. Dia boleh memberikan nama, katakan lima orang, beritahu saya dan kami akan putuskan.

“Awak tidak boleh membuat keputusan seperti sebelumnya. Semua ketua polis negeri awak tak boleh tentukan,” kata Hamzah dalam klip itu.

Perkara penting ini perlu diselesaikan.

KPN yang paling lama berkhidmat dari tahun 1974-1994, Tun Hanif Omar mengatakan bahawa Akta Polis memberikan KPN satu-satunya kuasa untuk “memerintah dan mengawal” pasukan itu, dan Menteri Dalam Negeri sebagai Ketua Suruhanjaya Pasukan Polis (SPP), tidak mempunyai kuasa tersebut.

“Walaupun SPP memiliki tujuan seperti yang dinyatakan oleh menteri hal ehwal undang-undang, perkara itu tidak termasuk operasi pasukan polisi.” katanya.

Tetapi Hamzah mendapat sokongan penuh Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri (Parlimen dan Undang-Undang), Takiyuddin Hassan, yang juga Setiausaha Agung PAS.

Semalam, Takiyuddin bersekongkol dengan Menteri Dalam Negeri untuk memberikan tafsiran yang salah tentang Perkara 140 Perlembagaan Malaysia, dengan mendakwa bahawa ia “menetapkan bahawa SPP mengawasi hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan kenaikan pangkat, disiplin, kebajikan dan hal-hal lain yang berkaitan dengan anggota polis” — dalam satu kenyataan yang merupakan secara jelas satu tindak balas terhadap kritikan Ketua Polis Negara Abdul Hamid Bador terhadap campur tangan Hamzah dalam urusan polis.

Hanif mengatakan bahawa dalam 20 tahun beliau sebagai KPN, beliau tidak mempunyai masalah dengan tiga menteri atau SPP — Ghazalie Shafie, Musa Hitam dan Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Tidak ada seorang pun menterinya, katanya, yang berusaha campur tangan dalam menjalankan pasukan itu, dan SPP dan pengerusinya mematuhi tanggungjawab perlembagaan mereka dengan tegas.

“Oleh itu, SPP, seperti yang dibentuk saat ini, dapat berfungsi jika semua orang mengikuti parameter undang-undang mereka.”

Perkara 40 Perlembagaan Malaysia menetapkan:

“140. (1) Maka hendaklah ada suatu Suruhanjaya Pasukan Polis yang bidang kuasanya hendaklah meliputi semua orang yang menjadi anggota pasukan polis dan yang, tertakluk kepada peruntukan mana-mana undang-undang yang sedia ada, hendaklah

bertanggungjawab bagi pelantikan, pengesahan, kemasukan ke dalam perjawatan tetap atau perjawatan berpencen, kenaikan pangkat, pertukaran dan penjalanan kawalan tatatertib ke atas anggota pasukan polis:

Dengan syarat bahawa Parlimen boleh melalui undang-undang membuat peruntukan bagi penjalanan apa-apa kawalan tatatertib ke atas semua atau mana-mana anggota pasukan polis mengikut apa-apa cara dan oleh mana-mana pihak berkuasa yang diperuntukkan dalam undang-undang itu, dan dalam keadaan yang sedemikian, jika pihak berkuasa itu bukan Suruhanjaya itu, kawalan tatatertib yang boleh dijalankan oleh pihak berkuasa itu tidak boleh dijalankan oleh Suruhanjaya itu; dan tiada peruntukan undang-undang itu boleh menjadi tidak sah atas alasan ketidakselarasan dengan mana-mana peruntukan Bahagian ini.”

Mentan Presiden Majlis Peguam, Zainur Zakaria mengatakan menteri undang-undang pastinya telah terlepas pandang Perkara 140 (7) Perlembagaan Persekutuan, yang berbunyi: “(7) Dalam Perkara ini “pertukaran” tidak termasuk pertukaran tanpa perubahan pangkat dalam pasukan polis.”

Zainur Zakaria mengatakan Takiyuddin memberikan tafsiran yang “tidak tepat” terhadap Perlembagaan Malaysia seperti di bawah Artikel 140 (7) Perlembagaan, suruhanjaya tersebut tidak mempunyai kuasa untuk menentukan siapa yang seharusnya menjadi Ketua Polis Negeri jika tidak melibatkan kenaikan atau penurunan pangkat.

Beliau berkata: “Ini bermaksud KPN boleh memindahkan pegawai polis tanpa merujuk kepada suruhanjaya selagi mana perbuatan tersebut tidak melibatkan perubahan pangkat.”

Berikutan pendedahan oleh Abdul Hamid Bador, mantan pegawai tinggi polis telah tampil mengatakan bahawa tidak ada campur tangan politik dalam pasukan polis pada masa lalu, walaupun di peringkat kenaikan pangkat pegawai.

Mantan Pengarah Jabatan Siasatan Jenayan (CID) Zaman Khan memberitahu The Malaysian Insight bahawa semua keputusan dalam pasukan polis kemudiannya diputuskan oleh sebuah jawatankuasa yang diketuai oleh Ketua Polis Negara.

“Pada masa saya tidak ada gangguan. Semua kenaikan pangkat pegawai polis, dari ASP ke atas, dibuat oleh jawatankuasa yang dipengerusikan oleh KPN dan timbalannya.

“Terdapat empat pengarah dan saya adalah salah seorang dari mereka. Kami duduk di bilik mesyuarat dan kami membincangkan kenaikan pangkat pegawai polis.

“Tidak akan ada campur tangan dari mana-mana ahli politik dan mereka yang akan bakal dinaikkan pangkat akan disaring, bahkan badan anti-rasuah akan melakukan semakan latar belakang,” kata Zaman.

Halim Ishak, bekas pegawai polis elit VAT69, mencerminkan sentimen yang sama seperti Zaman.

Halim, yang kini mempengerusikan Yayasan Penjagaan Komuniti Malaysia (MCCF) mengatakan sekiranya ada gangguan, penglibatan itu tidak begitu serius.

“Saya rasa tidak, jika ada, ia tidak seburuk sekarang. Ia tidak melibatkan kenaikan pangkat KPN atau timbalannya atau pegawai kanan polis, ”katanya.

Halim mencadangkan agar ahli politik mesti keluar dari pasukan suruhanjaya polis kerana badan itu perlu bebas dari pengaruh politik.

“Tidak ada menteri yang harus duduk dalam jawatankuasa itu kerana polis harus bebas dari pengaruh politik,” kata Halim.

Halim kemudian mempersoalkan mengapa perdana menteri dan ketua setiausaha kerajaan tidak membuat kenyataan mengenai isu tersebut.

Saya menggesa kesemua tujuh mantan KPN yang masih hidup untuk bersuara sama ada mereka berhadapan dengan campur tangan politik dalam melantik Ketua Polis Negeri. Hanif Omar, KPN yang paling lama berkhidmat, telah bersuara.

Mari kita dengar dari enam bekas KPN yang masih hidup, iaitu:

1. Abdul Rahim Mohd Noor yang berkhidmat sebagai KPN dari tahun 1994-1999;

2. Norian Mai yang berkhidmat dari tahun 1999 – 2003;

3. Musa Hassan yang berkhidmat dari tahun 2006 hingga 2010;

4. Ismail Omar yang berkhidmat dari tahun 2010 hingga 2013;

5. Khalid Abu Bakar yang berkhidmat dari tahun 2013 hingga 2017; dan

6. Mohd Fuzi Harun yang berkhidmat dari 2017 hingga 2019.

Biarkan juga sembilan mantan Menteri Dalam Negeri yang masih hidup bersuara sama ada sebagai Ketua Suruhanjaya Polis, mereka pernah mengganggu pelantikan Ketua Polis Negeri atau sama ada mereka menyerahkannya sepenuhnya kepada budi bicara KPN ketika itu. Bekas Menteri Dalam Negeri yang hidup adalah:

1. Musa Hitam yang menjadi Menteri Dalam Negeri dari tahun 1981 – 1986;

2. Dr Mahathir Mohamad yang berkhidmat dari tahun 1986 – 1999;

3. Abdullah Badawi yang berkhidmat dari tahun 1999 hingga 2004;

4. Azmi Khalid yang berkhidmat dari tahun 2004 hingga 2006;

5. Mohd Radzi Sheikh Mohd yang berkhidmat dari tahun 2006 hingga 2008;

6. Syed Hamid Albar yang berkhidmat dari tahun 2008 hingga 2009;

7. Hishamuddin Hussein yang berkhidmat dari 2009 hingga 2013;

8. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi yang berkhidmat dari 2013 hingga 2018;

9. Muhyiddin Yassin yang berkhidmat dari 2018 hingga 2020.

#kerajaangagal20 – Communication a disaster In the war against Covid-19 pandemic in Malaysia

Malaysia is struggling between bringing the third Covid wave – the longest in  the world – under control by reducing the daily increase of new Covid-19 cases to triple-digit and then double-digit figures and the full flaring of the fourth Covid wave.

Everybody is scared that Malaysia may go the way of India, where a second wave has created  apocalyptic horrors, with  grim scenes of people dying in hospital corridors, on roads and in their homes and where car parks have been turned into cremation grounds while desperate families scramble to find oxygen, medicines and hospital beds.

The one-day national sigh of relief because the daily increase of new Covid-19 cases in Malaysia  had fallen below the 3,000-mark after three straight days above 3,000 and 13 straight days above 2,000 cases was dashed when 3,418  new Covid-19 cases was reported on Sunday, but with the report yesterday that there were 2,500 new   cases the previous day,  hope has returned that there is still light at the end of the tunnel.

Today, India crashed through the 20 million mark for cumulative total of Covid-19 cases, and if  this apocalyptic  rate of Covid-19 infection continues, India may overtake United States (which presently has a cumulative total of over 33 million cases) by the end of June as the  world’s No. 1 country with the most number of Covid-19 cases.

Malaysia must learn  from the mistakes of the war against the Covid-19 pandemic.

In the first place, there is no reason for Malaysia to have a cumulative total 417,512 cases to be ranked No. 43  among nations in the world with the most cumulative total of Covid-19 cases, and on the verge of  overtaking Saudi Arabia to be ranked No. 42nd – when we were ranked No. 85 on November 11 last year.

Why is Malaysia ranked No. 43 and having a greater cumulative total of Covid-19 cases while  other countries in East Asia, ASEAN and Pacific have lower ranking and fewer cases like Myanmar (ranked No.  82) with 142,842 cases; South Korea (84) 123,728 cases; China (96) 90,697 cases; Thailand (99) 71,025 cases; Singapore (104) 61,235 cases; Australia (120) 29,838 cases; Cambodia (133) 15,361 cases;  Hong Kong (145) 11,787 cases; Vietnam (176) 2,981 cases; New Zealand (178) 2,622 cases; Taiwan (192) 1,145 cases; Laos (195) 966 cases and

Brunei (201) 227 cases.

There is an important lesson from the episode where the government removed the AsrtraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine and made it an opt-in choice for the public because of “vaccine hesitancy”  over the British-manufactured vaccine.

The 260,000 appointments for the AustraZeneca vaccine were taken up in three hours.

The government must learn from its mistakes in war against Covid-19 pandemic – and one of  lessons it must learn is that its communication is a disaster.

This stemmed from its failure to spearhead an “all-of-government” and “whole-of-society” strategy and approach, which resulted in its taking the false route to combat the Covid-19 pandemic, like the declaration of an emergency and the suspension of Parliament.

Will the kakistocratic government now return to the proper route, which is to end the emergency and to reconvene Parliament immediately?

The overwhelming majority of Malaysians support efforts to bring the Covid-19 pandemic under control, but the measures must be practical,  fair and just, with its implementation even-handed without double standards.

I support the call by the Enterprises Association (Samenta) that enforcement authorities should adopt a consultative approach when it comes to penalising those who don’t comply with the SOP, starting with a stern warning if an SME is caught infringing the SOP the first time instead of the maximum RM50,000 compound fine.

#kerajaangagal21 – Education Minister should end  the denial syndrome over period spot checks and teachers making rape jokes and should appoint officers to launch a campaign to wipe out such practices in schools

Malaysiakini has submitted names of 15 schools where female students were subjected to period spot checks to prove they were menstruating, while a few NGOs have called on students and teachers to stage a walkout of class on May 6 or 7 to demand school reforms over the issue of a teacher making rape jokes to students.

I agree with Saiful Nizam Ab Wahab, the father of a 17-year-old teen, Ain Husniza Saiful Nizam,  who exposed a teacher for  making a rape joke to students, who doubted  that  a walkout by teachers and students to protest sexual harassment in schools is the best way of protest.

I call on the Education Minister, Mohd Radzi Md Jidin to end the denial syndrome of the education authorities on these two issues, period spot checks and teachers make sexist jokes in schools, and to appoint officers to launch a campaign to wipe such bad practices in the school.

Nobody is asking the Education Ministry to go on a witch-hunt and it should be pro-active to create a school culture where such practices would be regarded as improper and highly objectionable.

In the promotion of such a gender-sensitive school culture, the presentation of an award to Ain Husniza for her exemplary conduct  in speaking out  against improper and unjust actions in schools, should be considered by the Education Ministry.

Can the Education Minister provide such leadership in the schools?

#kerajaangagal22 – Hamzah would have been forced to resign as Home Minister if  Malaysia is a normal  functioning democracy

(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)

If Malaysia is a  normal functioning democracy, Hamzah Zainuddin would have been forced to resign as Home Minister as happened to John Profumo in the United Kingdom in 1963 as Secretary of State for War for the Christine Keeler scandal or Abdul Rahman Talib as Minister for Education in Malaysia in December 1964 when he lost the defamation suit to the People’s Progressive Party leader, D.R.Seenivasagam.

But Malaysia is not a normal functioning democracy and does not  even try to be one.

It is a backdoor, incompetent, undemocratic, kakistocratic and illegitimate government which is afraid to convene Parliament as it is not sure of a majority in Parliament.

This is why there is the brazen effrontery of Hamzah Zainuddin who admitted that the voice in a viral audio clip dismissing the selection of a new police chief was his, yet claiming that there was nothing wrong or no offence committed.

Any decent and self-respecting politician in the European democracies would have resigned as Home Minister after the circulation of the viral audio clip, but not Hamzah.

This would have happened in Asian democracies like Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, India, Indonesia and Singapore, where there is a greater sense of political decency and propriety but not in Malaysia.

For what Hamzah has done as admitted in the viral audio clip has crossed the red line in a functioning democracy – a Minister who tried to subvert and suborn the independence and professionalism of the Royal Malaysian Police and preventing it from becoming a competent, professional world-class police force.

Yesterday, the former  inspector-general Abdul Hamid Bador, who is back to civvies,  revealed the story behind Home Minister Hamzah Zainudin’s purported attempt to appoint “his boy” into the Royal Malaysian Police Force.

Hamid was quoted as saying that it involved Hamzah’s attempt to install his favoured candidate to lead the Special Branch after the police intelligence unit snubbed the minister’s request to conduct political operations.

The revelation came amid Hamzah’s own admission that he was the person in a leaked audio recording that discussed appointing people aligned to him to key positions in the police force, whom he referred to as “our boy”.

Hamid was quoted as saying that the Special Branch was unsettled by the actions of Hamzah, whom he referred to as “MDN” (Menteri Dalam Negeri), in the past year.

He said: “I was informed the MDN forced the Special Branch to conduct a number of operations for his own political purpose.

“I cannot reveal the operations as every Special Branch operation is secret but suffice to say that the objective of the operation does not suit the Special Branch’s national security mandate.”

Hamid said the Special Branch had rejected Hamzah’s request to participate in the operation and reported him to Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.

He added that the prime minister had agreed that the Special Branch should not be doing political work, which enraged Hamzah.

Subsequently, Hamid said Hamzah cooperated with a senior Special Branch officer whose contract ended last year.

The minister was said to have arranged for ‘his boy’ (the retired senior Special Branch officer) to lead the Special Branch.

Hamid said: “As evident, on Feb 16, the current Special Branch chief was summoned by the chief secretary to the government who asked him to voluntarily end his contract.

“Otherwise, a one-month notice of termination will be issued. The minister appeared impatient for ‘his boy’ to fill the position even though the Special Branch chief’s contract will only end in mid-June.”

Hamid said the matter was again brought to the prime minister who then instructed for the Special Branch chief to be retained.

Is this expose the reason why Hamzah was absent from the handing-over ceremony from the outgoing IGP to the new IGP Acryl Sani Abdulah Sani yesterday, despite Hamzah’s larger-than-life face plastered on the backdrop of the event’s stage?

(Media Statement by DAP MP for Iskandar Puteri Lim Kit Siang in Kuala Lumpur on  Wednesday, 5th March 2021)

===============================

#kerajaangagal22 – Jika Malaysia adalah negara yang demokrasinya berfungsi secara normal, sudah tentu Hamzah telah didesak untuk melepaskan jawatan sebagai Menteri Dalam Negeri

Jika Malaysia adalah sebuah negara yang demokrasinya berfungsi secara normal, Hamzah Zainuddin sudah tentu sudah didesak supaya meletakkan jawatan sebagai Menteri Dalam Negeri seperti mana yang berlaku terhadap John Profumo yang meletak jawatan sebagai Menteri Perang United Kingdom pada 1963 selepas terpalit skandal membabitkan Christine Keeler atau seperti mana Abdul Rahman Talib yang meletak jawatan sebagai Menteri Pendidikan Malaysia pada 1964 selepas kalah saman fitnah terhadap pemimpin Parti Progresif Rakyat, D.R. Seenivasagam.

Malangnya, Malaysia kini bukanlah demokrasi yang berfungsi secara normal dan tidak berusaha ke arah itu.

Kerajaan yang terbentuk hari ini adalah kerajaan pintu belakang, tidak cekap, tidak demokratik, kakistokratik dan tidak sah. Kerajaan ini juga takut untuk memanggil sidang Parlimen kerana bimbang tidak mempunyai bilangan majoriti yang cukup di Parlimen.

Inilah sebabnya mengapa Hamzah Zainuddin bertindak lancang dengan mengakui bahawa suara dalam rakaman audio tular yang menyentuh mengenai campur tangan pelantikan ketua polis negara yang baharu adalah miliknya, tetapi tidak segan silu mengisytiharkan bahawa beliau kononnya tidak melakukan apa-apa kesalahan.

Mana-mana ahli politik yang bermaruah dalam tradisi demokrasi Eropah akan meletakkan jawatan sebagai Menteri Dalam Negeri jika rakaman audio seumpama itu tular, tetapi tidak bagi Hamzah.

Perkara seperti itu mungkin akan berlaku di negara-negara demokratik Asia yang lain seperti Jepun, Taiwan, Korea Selatan, India, Indonesia dan Singapura, tetapi tidak di Malaysia.

Apa yang diperkatakan Hamzah dalam rakaman audio berkenaan jelas telah melangkaui batas-batas demokrasi — seorang Menteri cuba untuk mencabuli kebebasan dan profesionalisme Polis Diraja Malaysia dan menghalang pasukan itu daripada menjadi sebagai pasukan polis yang cekap, profesional dan bertaraf dunia.

Semalam, mantan Ketua Polis Negara, Abdul Hamid Bador mendedahkan kisah di sebalik cubaan Menteri Dalam Negeri, Hamzah Zainudin untuk melantik “budaknya” dalam pasukan Polis Diraja Malaysia.

Hamid dipetik sebagai berkata kejadian itu melibatkan cubaan Hamzah untuk menempatkan calon pilihannya bagi mengetuai Cawangan Khas selepas unit itu dikatakan menolak permohonan menteri tersebut bagi melakukan kerja-kerja politik.

Pendedahan itu muncul selepas Hamzah mengakui bahawa suara dalam audio yang tular itu adalah miliknya.

Hamid dipetik sebagai berkata yang Cawangan Khas tidak senang dengan tindakan Hamzah, yang dirujuk sebagai “MDN” (Menteri Dalam Negeri), sejak tahun lalu.

Katanya: “Saya dimaklumkan MDN telah memaksa JCK melakukan beberapa operasi bagi tujuan politik dirinya.

“Saya tidak boleh dedahkan operasi apa kerana setiap operasi JCK adalah rahsia tapi cukuplah untuk mengatakan bahawa objektif operasi itu tidak sesuai dengan mandat yang diberikan kepada JCK untuk memelihara serta menguruskan keselamatan negara.”

Hamid berkata Hamzah bekerjasama dengan seorang pegawai kanan Cawangan Khas yang kontraknya tamat semalam.

Menteri berkenaan dikatakan mengatukarkan supaya “budaknya” (yang bersara sebagai pegawai kanan Cawangan Khas) untuk mengetuai Cawangan Khas.

Hamid berkata: “Pada 16 Feb lalu, Pengarah SB sedia ada dipanggil oleh Ketua Setiausaha KDN sebelum meminta beliau mengakhiri kontraknya secara sukarela, jika tidak notis sebulan bagi pemberhentian kontrak akan diberikan.

“Menteri tersebut seolah-olah tidak sabar meletakkan ‘budaknya’ mengisi jawatan tersebut sedangkan kontrak Pengarah SB akan berakhir pertengahan Jun ini.”

Hamid berkata perkara tersebut sekali lagi dibawa kepada Perdana Menteri yang kemudiannya mengarahkan supaya ketua Cawangan Khas untuk terus berkhidmat.

Adakah ini sebab mengapa Hamzah tidak hadir tidak hadir acara rasmi penyerahan tugas kepada ketua polis negara yang baru, Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani semalam, meskipun wajahnya terpampang besar dan jelas sebagai latar di atas pentas majlis tersebut.

#kerajaangagal23 – Allahabad High Court rules that death of Covid patients from non-supply of oxygen criminal act, not less than genocide

(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)

Yesterday, I said one of the signs of kakistocracy and justification for the hashtag #kerajaangagal was the disastrous manner in which the  government handled communication in the war against Covid-19 pandemic, with the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing.

This is again illustrated with the  imposition of a movement control order (MCO) for six districts in Selangor for 12 days from May 6 to 17.

Although the DAP MP for Bangi and DAP  Assistant Director of Political Education, Ong Kian Ming, had cautioned on 1st May  that the authorities should not announce any MCO 3.0 in the Klang Valley at the last minute without confirming the SOPs, this blunder was again repeated, resulting in confusion and anxiety all-round.

I do not blame Malaysians  for caustic remarks on the social media, like the following:

1. “So MCO 3.0 in 6 districts in Selangor starts on the 6th of May for 2 weeks. But no mention of which industries/sectors can open during these 2 weeks. Have wait for tomorrow for clarification and SOPs….When will these guys learn?”

2. “Saya cuba nak memahami PKP terbaru untuk banteras Covid. Pada 6 Mei nanti:

“*Di sebelah 1Utama = PKP; tapi lintas jalan satu lampu isyarat sahaja.

“* Di Sebelah TTDI, KL = tiada PKP.

“Saya tak faham strategi @MKNJPM ini.”

Today, confusion and pandemonium continued to reign.

The Pakatan Harapan Education Committee, headed by former Education Minister Maszlee Malik had to demand that the Education Ministry provide clarity on the status of schools in areas which will come under the MCO restrictions tomorrow.

“Will schools be closed or will they remain open until the Hari Raya (on May 13)?”

The Pakatan Harapan Education Committee said an immediate announcement is necessary because some schools are having their mid-terms –  to allow  the school management to arrange examination schedules and to  help students maintain focus.

It  will also help parents to plan, especially in finding caretakers.

The Education Ministry should also bring clarity to the status of students in boarding schools, especially on whether they are allowed to return home, which might entail the crossing of state and district borders.

If such confusion had occurred at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, it might be understandable. But to occur a year after the Covid-19 pandemic, and on the third time a MCO is being imposed, is completely inexcusable.

The Muhyiddin government should be reminded that in India, which is undergoing a hellish second Covid-19 wave, overwhelming the country’s healthcare system causing shortages of hospital beds, oxygen and vaccine, the  Allahabad high court said that the deaths of patients due to non-supply of oxygen amounts to a ‘criminal act’, nothing short of a ‘genocide’.

A kakistocracy causing avoidable deaths is committing   criminal acts.

There is no reason, in the first place, for Malaysia to have a cumulative total 420,632 cases to be ranked No. 43  among nations in the world with the most cumulative total of Covid-19 cases, and to overtake Saudi Arabia (now 421,300 cumulative total cases) some time today   to be ranked No. 42nd – when we were ranked No. 85 on November 11 last year.

Why is Malaysia ranked No. 43 and No. 42 by  today,  having a greater cumulative total of Covid-19 cases while  other countries in East Asia, ASEAN and Pacific have lower ranking and fewer cases like Myanmar (ranked No.  82) with 142,858 cases; South Korea (84) 124,945 cases; China (96) 90,721 cases; Thailand (98) 74,900 cases; Singapore (104) 61,252 cases; Australia (120) 29,862 cases; Cambodia (133) 16,971 cases;  Hong Kong (145) 11,791 cases; Vietnam (176) 2,996 cases; New Zealand (179) 2,629 cases; Taiwan (192) 1,160 cases; Laos (195) 1,025 cases and

Brunei (201) 228 cases.

The Muhyiddin must get its act together before Malaysians begin to charge it of criminal negligence in its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.

It should launch an “all-of-government” and “whole-of-society” national mobilisation against the Covid-19 pandemic by ending the emergency and convening Parliament immediately to focus on the national strategy against the Covid-19 pandemic, and ensure that Malaysia not only does not end up like India but be regarded as one of the more  successful nations in East Asia, ASEAN and the Pacific in handling the Covid-19 pandemic.

=============================

#kerajaangagal23 — Mahkamah Tinggi Allahabad membuat ketetapan bahawa kematian pesakit Covid-19 akibat daripada kekurangan bekalan oksigen adalah suatu tindakan jenayah, yang menyerupai genosid

Semalam, saya berkata bahawa salah satu tanda berlakunya kakistokrasi dan justifikasi kepada kewujudan kempen #kerajaangagal adalah kegagalan kerajaan dalam menguruskan komunikasi berkaitan usaha memerangi pandemik Covid-19 — seolah-olah tangan kiri tidak tahu apa yang dibuat oleh tangan kanan.

Ini sekali lagi dilihat dalam pelaksanaan perintah kawalan pergerakan (PKP) untuk enam daerah di Selangor selama 12 hari bermula 6 sehingga 17 Mei.

Meskipun Ahli Parlimen Bangi merangkap Penolong Pengarah Pendidikan Politik DAP, Ong Kian Ming telah memberi amaran pada 1 Mei lalu bahawa pihak berkuasa tidak wajar mengumumkan PKP 3.0 di Lembah Klang pada saat akhir tanpa diiringi dengan pengumuman SOP yang lengkap, kerajaan masih mengulangi kesilapan yang sama, menyebabkan ramai pihak keliru dan bimbang.

Saya tidak menyalahkan rakyat Malaysia yang mengeluarkan kenyataan-kenyataan seperti berikut di media sosial:

1.    “Jadi PKP 3.0 di enam daerah di Selangor akan bermula pada 6 Mei selama dua minggu. Tetapi tiada perincian tenang industri/sektor mana yang boleh dibuka selama dua minggu tersebut. Perlu tunggu sehingga esok untuk penjelasan lanjut dan penguguman SOP… entah bila mereka ini nak ambil iktibar?”

2.    “Saya cuba nak memahami PKP terbaru untuk banteras Covid. Pada 6 Mei nanti:

“Di sebelah 1Utama = PKP; tapi lintas jalan satu lampu isyarat sahaja.

“Di Sebelah TTDI, KL = tiada PKP.

“Saya tak faham strategi @MKNJPM ini.”

Hari ini, kekeliruan seumpama itu kembali berulang.

Jawatankuasa Pendidikan Pakatan Harapan, yang diketuai oleh mantan Menteri Pendidikan Maszlee Malik meminta supaya Kementerian Pendidikan menjelaskan mengenai status sekolah di kawasan yang dikenakan PKP bermula esok.

“Adakah sekolah akan ditutup esok atau dibuka sehingga Hari Raya (pada 13 Mei)?”

Jawatankuasa Pendidikan Pakatan Harapan berkata pengumuman itu perlu kerana sesetengah sekolah sedang menjalani ujian pertengah tahun — ini bagi membolehkan pengurusan sekolah untuk menguruskan jadual peperiksaan dan memastikan pelajar kekal fokus.

Ia juga dapat membantu ibu bapa untuk merancang, lebih-lebih lagi untuk mencari penjaga.

Kementerian Pendidikan perlu menjelaskan status pelajar di sekolah asrama, lebih-lebih lagi sama ada mereka dibenarkan untuk pulang ke rumah, yang mana memerlukan pergerakan rentas sempadan daerah dan negeri.

Jika kekeliruan seumpama itu berlaku pada awal penularan pandemik Covid-19, ia mungkin boleh difahami. Tetapi ia berlaku setahun selepas pandemik Covid-19, dan selepas PKP dilaksanakan untuk kali ketiga, ini benar-benar tidak boleh diterima.

Kerajaan Muhyddin harus diingatkan bahawa di India, yang sedang dilanda gelombang kedua Covid-19 yang mana melumpuhkan sistem kesihatan negara itu sehingga berlaku kekurangan katil, oksigen dan vaksin. Malah, mahkamah tinggi Aallahabad berkata kematian pesakit ekoran kekurangan oksigen boleh dianggap sebagai “tindakan jenayah, yang menyerupai “genosid”.

Sebuah kakistokrasi yang membiarkan kematian yang boleh dielakkan berlaku sebenarnya melakukan suatu tindakan jenayah.

Tiada sebab sebenarnya untuk Malaysia merekodkan kes terkumpul sebanyak 420,632 kes dan berada di kedudukan ke-43 antara negara-negara di dunia dengan kes Covid-19 tertinggi, dan mengatasi Arab Saudi (yang mempunyai kes terkumpul sebanyak 421,300) dan dijangka berada di tangga ke-42 — sementara kita berada di tangga ke-85 pada 11 November tahun lalu.

Mengapa Malaysia berada di kedudukan ke-43 dan ke-42 hari ini, dengan kes Covid-19 tertinggi sementara negara Timur Asia lain, ASEAN dan Asia Pasifik berada di kedudukan dan kes lebih rendah seperti Myanmar (ke-82) dengan 142,858 kes; Korea Utara (84) 124,945 kes; China (96) 90,721 kes; Thailand (98) 74,900 kes; Singapura (104) 61,252 kes; Australia (120) 29,862 kes; Cambodia (133) 16,971 kes;  Hong Kong (145) 11,791 kes; Vietnam (176) 2,996 kes; New Zealand (179) 2,629 kes; Taiwan (192) 1,160 kes; Laos (195) 1,025 kes dan Brunei (201) 228 cases.

Muhyiddin perlu bertindak sebelum rakyat Malaysia mula mengambil tindakan terhadap kerajaan atas jenayah kecuaian dalam menangani pandemik Covid-19.

Kerajaan Muhyiddin harus melancarkan gerakan kebangsaan bagi menerapkan strategi “keseluruhan kerajaan” dan “keseluruhan masyarakat” dalam melawan pandemik Covid-19 dengan menamatkan darurat dan mengadakan sidang Parlimen secepat mungkin bagi memberi tumpuan kepada strategi negara bagi melawan pandemik Covid-19, dan memastikan Malaysia tidak berakhir seperti India tetapi diiktiraf sebagai negara yang lebih berjaya berbanding negara-negara lain di rantau Asia Timur, ASEAN dan Asia Pasifik dalam hal menangani pandemik Covid-19.

#kerajaangagal24  – Reaching half-a-million mark for cumulative total of Covid-19 cases and delay in 3rd  phase of  National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme will be double whammy for Malaysia’s war against Covid-19 pandemic

(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)

Malaysia has  a cumulative total of 424,376 Covid-19 cases, overtaking Saudi Arabia which has 422,316 cases, and is now ranked No. 42 among nations in the world with most number of Covid-19 cases.

The country recorded 3,744 new cases yesterday.  At this rate of increase, we will reach half a million mark for cumulative total of  Covid-19 cases by the end of this month.

This is a world ranking  and a world record which Malaysia has nothing to be  proud about.

Together with the announcement yesterday by  the co-ordinating Minister Khairy Jamaluddin that Phase Three of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (NIP) might be delayed beyond its intended kick-off in May, it is a double-whammy for Malaysia’s war against the Covid-19 pandemic.

Already the National Covid-19 Immunisation Progamme is too slow and weak, as up to now, less than five percent of the population had been vaccinated (1.8% fully vaccinated while 2.9% given one dose of the vaccine).

Two months ago, I suggested that the National Immunisation Programme should be accelerated so that the national vaccine roll-out for the country to achieve “herd immunity” can be completed by Malaysia Day on September 16, 2021.

Now Khairy’s target to achieve herd immunity against Covid-19 in July 2022 – 18 months from February 2021 when the first batch of the vaccine supply arrived –   has been pushed further back.

We are losing out in this battle between “vaccine and the virus”,  with the coronavirus mutating into new variants  and which has caused such devastation in India, where the healthcare system is on breaking point with grim scenes of people dying in hospital corridors, on roads and in their homes and where car parks have been turned into cremation grounds while desperate families scramble to find oxygen, medicines and   hospital beds.

Are we going to be a mini-India in ASEAN?  India broke another world record yesterday, registering 413,618 new Covid-19 cases, and in the last 15 days since breaking the 300,00-mark for  new daily cases on April 21, has accumulated over five   million Covid-19 cases.

Why is Malaysia ranked  No. 42, having a greater cumulative total of Covid-19 cases while other countries in East Asia, ASEAN and Pacific have lower ranking and fewer cases like Myanmar (ranked No. 82) with 142,874 cases; South Korea (84) 124,945 cases; China (96) 90,721 cases; Thailand (98) 74,900 cases; Singapore (104) 61,268 cases; Australia (120) 29,862 cases; Cambodia (133) 16,971 cases; Hong Kong (145) 11,797 cases; Vietnam (176) 3,022  cases; New Zealand (179) 2,629 cases; Taiwan (192) 1,160 cases; Laos (195) 1,072 cases and Brunei (201) 228 cases?

This is a question which the Muhyiddin government has avoided answer and with Parliament suspended since January 12, 2021, can continue to avoid to answer.

But this has generated an  unprecedented gulf in public trust and credibility deficit for the government which no amount of bluff and  propaganda can remedy.

Malaysia is suffering at having  the worst Prime Minister and the worst government in its 63-year history!

Can Malaysia be saved from the  trajectory hurtling towards a kakistocracy?

(Media Statement by DAP MP for Iskandar Puteri Lim Kit Siang in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday, 6th May 2021)

================================

#kerajaangagal24 — Jumlah kumulatif kes Covid-19 yang hampir mencecah angka setengah juta dan kelewatan dalam fasa ke-3 Program Imunisasi Covid-19 Kebangsaan akan menjadi masalah besar terhadap usaha Malaysia untuk melawan pandemik Covid-19

Malaysia kini merekodkan jumlah kumulatif kes Covid-19 sebanyak 424,376 kes, mengatasi Arab Saudi yang merekodkan 422,316 kes, dan kini berada di kedudukan ke-42 antara negara-negara di dunia dengan jumlah kes Covid-19 tertinggi.

Negara mencatatkan 3,744 kes baru semalam. Pada kadar kenaikan ini, kita akan mencapai angka setengah juta untuk jumlah kumulatif kes Covid-19 menjelang akhir bulan ini.

Ini adalah kedudukan dan rekod dunia yang tidak boleh dibanggakan oleh Malaysia.

Ibarat menambah garam ke luka, Menteri Penyelarasan Vaksinasi, Khairy Jamaluddin, semalam mengumumkan bahawa Fasa ketiga Program Imunisasi Covid-19 Kebangsaan (PICK) yang sepatutnya bermula pada Mei mungkin ditangguhkan berikutan kekurangan bekalan vaksin — ini akan menjadi masalah besar terhadap usaha Malaysia untuk melawan pandemik Covid-19.

Sekarang pun, Program Imunisasi Covid-19 Kebangsaan (PICK) masih ditahap yang rendah dan perlahan, kurang dari lima peratus populasi negara ini telah diberikan vaksin (1.8% telah divaksin sepenuhnya sementara 2.9% diberikan satu dos vaksin).

Dua bulan yang lalu, saya mencadangkan agar Program Imunisasi Covid-19 Kebangsaan (PICK) dipercepat supaya imuniti kelompok dapat dicapai pada Hari Malaysia, 16 September 2021.

Kini sasaran Khairy untuk mencapai imuniti kelompok pada Julai 2022 — 18 bulan dari Februari 2021 ketika kumpulan bekalan vaksin pertama tiba – telah tersasar.

Kita tewas dalam pertempuran antara “vaksin dan virus”, dengan koronavirus bermutasi menjadi varian baru dan telah menyebabkan kehancuran di India, di mana sistem kesihatan berada di ambang kemusnahan dengan adegan menyayat hati di mana orang awam mati bergelimpangan di koridor-koridor hospital, di jalan raya dan di kediaman mereka serta tempat letak kereta telah dijadikan tempat pembakaran sementara keluarga terdesak berebut mencari bekalan oksigen, ubat-ubatan dan katil hospital.

Adakah kita akan menjadi “mini India” di ASEAN? India memecahkan satu lagi rekod dunia semalam, mencatatkan 413,618 kes Covid-19 baru, dan dalam 15 hari terakhir sejak memecahkan angka 300,00 untuk kes harian baru pada 21 April, telah mengumpulkan lebih dari lima juta kes Covid-19.

Mengapa Malaysia berada di kedudukan ke-42, mempunyai jumlah kes Covid-19 yang lebih besar sementara negara-negara lain di Asia Timur, ASEAN dan Asia Pasifik berada di kedudukan lebih rendah dengan kes lebih rendah seperti Myanmar (ke-82) dengan 142,874 kes; Korea Selatan (84) 124,945 kes; China (96) 90,721 kes; Thailand (98) 74,900 kes; Singapura (104) 61,268 kes; Australia (120) 29,862 kes; Kemboja (133) 16,971 kes; Hong Kong (145) 11,797 kes; Vietnam (176) 3,022 kes; New Zealand (179) 2,629 kes; Taiwan (192) 1,160 kes; Laos (195) 1,072 kes dan Brunei (201) 228 kes?

Ini adalah persoalan yang tidak dapat dijawab oleh kerajaan Muhyiddin dan dengan Parlimen yang digantung sejak 12 Januari 2021, persoalan ini akan terus tidak terjawab.

Namun perkara ini juga telah menghasilkan jurang yang tidak pernah terjadi sebelumnya dalam defisit kredibiliti dan kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap kerajaan yang tidak dapat ditangani dengan sejumlah penipuan picisan dan propaganda.

Malaysia menderita kerana mempunyai Perdana Menteri terburuk dan kerajaan terburuk dalam sejarah 63 tahun negara!

Bolehkah Malaysia diselamatkan dari trajektori menuju kakistokrasi?

#kerajaangagal25 – If there is a secret ballot in the bloated Cabinet whether Hamzah Zainuddin should be removed as Home Minister, the unanimous verdict would be a  ‘Yes’!

(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)

If there is a secret ballot in the bloated Cabinet whether Hamzah Zainuddin should be removed as Home Minister, the unanimous verdict would be a  ‘Yes’!

It is very significant that apart from the PAS Secretary-General and Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Parliament) Takikyuddin Hassan, no other Cabinet Minister, including the Prime Minister, had spoken up for Hamzah since he was embroiled in the “CPO interference” scandal a week ago.

Last Friday, retiring Inspector-General of Police, Abdul Hamid Bador, in his farewell press conference threw a bombshell and revealed a very slimy Home Minister who,  unlike previous Home Ministers, politically interfered with the efficiency,  independence, professionalism and world-class status  of the Royal Malaysian Police Force by demanding that his ”boys” be appointed as State Chief Police Officers (CPOs)  and Police Directors.

Takiyuddin was caught in the cross-fire, pretending that he knows the law, when he was perverting the Constitution by failing to read an important express  exception in the Constitution.

Apart from  Takiyuddin, no Cabinet Minster whether from Bersatu, PAS or UMNO  was prepared to openly support Hamzah.

It is clear that if they had their private wishes, they would like to see Hamzah removed as Home Minister. But they also feared Hamzah and do not want to be in his “bad books”.

In their “heart of hearts”, every Minister knew that Hamzah had crossed the “red line” in politically interfering with the efficiency, independence and professionalism of the Royal Malaysian Force, but none of them is courageous or principled  enough to raise the matter in Cabinet to reaffirm the important constitutional principle of the non-partisan character and the efficiency, independence and professionalism of the royal police force.

Every Cabinet avoided the elephant in the room – the viral audio clip which proved that Hamzah wanted to place his “boys” as State CPOs and police directors – when lesser evidence would be sufficient to cause Ministers in normal functioning democracies  to resign their posts, as happened to John Profumo in the United Kingdom in 1963 where he resigned as Secretary of State for War over  the Christine Keeler scandal or Abdul Rahman Talib who resigned  as Minister for Education in Malaysia in December 1964 when he lost the defamation suit against the People’s Progressive Party leader, D.R.Seenivasagam.

Yet Hamzah had the cheek to ask: “What is wrong?”

May be the Gerakan President would publicly support Hamzah, as he does not mind Malaysia having a bloated Cabinet as he is hoping that the Cabinet would be more bloated with  his own   appointment as Cabinet Minister.

I have only word for the Gerakan President’s  statement today that the Perikatan Nasional is fairer than Barisan Nasional as PN treats each of its component parties as equal partners and that there are no “followers” under the coalition.

The word is “revolting”. The best person to answer the Gerakan President is the MCA President, and I shall not usurp the MCA President’s  function.

The Cabinet must find the courage to reprimand Hamzan Zainuddin and to reaffirm the important principle as stated by the longest-serving IGP in Malaysia, Hanif Omar, that in his 20 years as  IGP he had no problems with his three ministers – Ghazalie Shafie, Musa Hitam and Dr. Mahathir Mohamad –  and  the Police Force Commission (SPP) and the  Home Minister as Chairmen of Police Force Commission must  work within their legal parameters.

=======================

#kerajaangagal25 — Sekiranya diadakan undian tertutup sama ada Hamzah Zainuddin patut dibuang daripada jawatan Menteri Dalam Negeri, pastinya keputusan sebulat suara mengatakan ‘Ya’!

Sekiranya diadakan undian tertutup sama ada Hamzah Zainuddin patut dibuang daripada jawatan Menteri Dalam Negeri, pastinya keputusan sebulat suara mengatakan ‘Ya’!

Penting untuk diingati, selain daripada Setiausaha Agung PAS yang juga merupakan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri (Undang-undang dan Parlimen), Takiyuddin Hassan, tidak ada seorang pun menteri kabinet yang lain, termasuklah Perdana Menteri sendiri, telah mengeluarkan apa-apa kenyataan mengenai Hamzah sejak beliau terjebak dengan skandal “campur tangan Ketua Polis Negeri” pada minggu lalu.

Jumaat lepas, Ketua Polis Negara yang bakal bersara, Abdul Hamid Bador, dalam sidang media perpisahan beliau telah memberikan pendedahan mengenai seorang Menteri Dalam Negeri yang tidak seperti menteri-menteri sebelumnya yang mencampur tangan secara politik dengan keberkesanan, kebebasan, profesionalisme, dan status bertaraf dunia Polis Diraja Malaysia dengan mendesak supaya “orang” beliau dilantik sebagai Ketua Polis Negeri dan pengarah jabatan polis.

Takiyuddin tersepit apabila beliau berpura-pura tahu undang-undang sedangkan beliau hanyalah sedang memutar belit Perlembagaan dengan gagal untuk membaca satu pengecualian yang penting dalam Perlembagaan.

Selain daripada Takiyuddin, tidak ada mana-mana Menteri Kabinet dari Bersatu, PAS, atau UMNO yang bersedia untuk menyokong Hamzah secara terbuka.

Dalam hati mereka, setiap seorang Menteri ini tahu yang Hamzah telah melampaui batas dengan melakukan campur tangan politik ke atas kebebasan, keberkesanan, dan profesionalisme PDRM, tetapi tidak ada seorang pun daripada mereka ini berani atau cukup berprinsip untuk menegakkan prinsip tidak partisan pasukan polis yang termaktub dalam Perlembagaan.

Setiap orang Menteri Kabinet cuba untuk mengelakkan masalah ini — sedangkan klip audio yang tular itu telah membuktikan bahawa Hamzah mahu meletakkan “orang” beliau sebagai Ketua Polis Negeri dan pengarah jabatan polis — sedangkan bukti-bukti yang lebih remeh telah pun mencukupi dalam sistem demokrasi lain yang berfungsi untuk memaksa menteri mengosongkan jawatan mereka, seperti yang berlaku kepada John Profumo di United Kingdom pada tahun 1963 apabila beliau meletakkan jawatan sebagai Menteri Peperangan akibat skandal Christine Keeler atau Abdul Rahman Talib yang meletakkan jawatan sebagai Menteri Pendidikan pada Disember 1964 apabila beliau kalah saman malu terhadap pemimpin Parti Progresif Rakyat, D. R. Seenivasagam.

Namun Hamzah berani bertanyakan: “Apa salahnya?”

Mungkin Presiden Gerakan akan menyokong Hamzah secara terbuka, memandangkan beliau kelihatan seakan-akan tidak kisah dengan hakikat negara kita mempunyai Kabinet yang terlalu besar kerana beliau sendiri berharap untuk menambah besarkan Kabinet ini dengan menyertainya sebagai seorang Menteri.

Saya hanya boleh berikan kata-kata balas kepada kenyataan Presiden Gerakan hari ini yang mengatakan Perikatan Nasional lebih adil berbanding dengan Barisan Nasional memandangkan PN melayan setiap parti komponennya sebagai rakan setaraf dan tidak ada “pengikut” dalam gabungan politik tersebut.

Perkataan itu adalah “menjijikan”. Orang terbaik untuk menjawab kenyataan Presiden Gerakan ini adalah Presiden MCA sendiri, dan saya tidak mahu mengambil tanggungjawab Presiden MCA ini.

Kabinet perlu mencari keberanian untuk menghukum Hamzah Zainuddin dan menegaskan semula prinsip penting seperti yang dikatakan oleh Hanif Omar, yang berkhidmat sebagai KPN untuk tempoh yang paling lama dalam sejarah, yang mengatakan, dalam tempoh 20 tahun beliau berkhidmat, beliau tidak berhadapan dengan masalah daripada mana-mana tiga orang menteri beliau — Ghazalie Shafie, Musa Hitam, atau Dr Mahathir Mohamad — dan Suruhanajaya Pasukan Polis dan Menteri Dalam Negeri sebagai pengerusi suruhanjaya ini perlulah berkerja di dalam batasan undang-undang masing-masing.
