KENYATAAN AKHBAR KHAS PENEGASAN TERHADAP PERGOLAKAN POLITIK YANG BERLAKU DI NEGERI PERAK DARUL RIDZUAN
Perkembangan politik, peristiwa demonstrasi jalanan serta pertelingkahan antara pelbagai pihak, bersabit dengan pelantikan kerajaan baru negeri Perak baru-baru ini, yang sehingga membawa pada beberapa gelagat biadab terhadap DYMM Paduka Seri Sultan Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah, amat mendukacitakan dan mengecewakan beta Perkara ini lebih-lebih lagi dirasai oleh beta kerana DYMM Paduka Seri Sultan Perak adalah ayahanda saudara beta. Malah, keluarga diraja kedua-dua buah negeri ini mempunyai sejarah pertalian yang erat sehingga hari ini.
DYMM Paduka Seri Sultan Azlan Shah yang beta kenali adalah seorang tokoh yang tinggi ilmu serta pengalaman perkhidmatan perundangan dan kehakiman baginda, sesuai dengan kedudukan baginda sebelum ini sebagai mantan Ketua Hakim Negara. Baginda dan keluarga baginda juga mempunyai latar belakang serta kelayakan keilmuan yang cemerlang dan sangat peka pada kepentingan rakyat jelata, sehinggakan kebanyakan tindakan baginda akan bersandarkan pada budaya ilmu, pertimbangan syumul serta amalan bermusyawarah bersama pakar-pakar dalam mana-mana satu isu yang bersabit.
Apa yang kita dapat saksikan yang telah dan sedang berlaku semenjak minggu lalu di negeri Perak amat membimbangkan sesiapapun yang mengaku mencintai agama, bangsa, negara Malaysia, kestabilan, kesejahteraan, kemajuan, keselamatan dan masa depan kita bersama.
Kejahilan terhadap peruntukan undang-undang negeri dan persekutuan, ketaksuban terhadap pihak-pihak tertentu, kehilangan pertimbangan ketika emosi terganggu, keangkuhan yang membutakan diri terhadap hak dan kuasa DYMM Paduka Seri Sultan Perak, kebiadaban sebagai anak watan negeri Perak dan warga negara Malaysia serta mudahnya golongan-golongan tertentu terpedaya dengan budaya “mob" amat memalukan.
Bak kata pepatah, ketika peristiwa sebegini berlaku, “barulah kita kenal siapa kaca siapa permata”. Malah dapat juga kita menyelami jati diri pihak-pihak tertentu yang “marahkan nyamuk, kelambu yang dibakar”.
Beta ingin menasihati dengan penuh keikhlasan dengan mengambil kira kepentingan masa depan agama, bangsa dan negara tercinta kita. Janganlah kita mudah terpedaya dengan gelagat serta tindakan yang hanya akan mencemarkan martabat kita, mengundang risiko yang tinggi terhadap kemajuan kita, serta menghakis asas-asas kedaulatan negara ini dengan sifat-sifat keji seperti biadab, derhaka, angkuh, jahil ilmu dan kemaruk kuasa.
Kegawatan ekonomi yang semakin meruncingkan di peringkat global dan serantau menuntut kita supaya memantapkan perpaduan sesama kita walaupun ada perbezaan pendirian. Jangan sehingga nasi menjadi bubur, di mana terlajak kata boleh dimaafkan, tetapi terlajak perbuatan mungkin akan mengundang bencana.
Kepada mereka yang telah berkali-kali mencabar hak, peranan serta kedudukan yang telah dijamin melalui Perlembagaan Persekutuan, termasuk peranan institusi raja-raja, maka beta ingin menasihatkan supaya rakyat menggunakan pertimbangan dari akal fikiran yang waras sebelum mengambil sebarang tindakan.
Beta terus mendoakan agar Allah SWT akan terus memelihara kita bersama dan menganugerahkan kita dengan hati yang terang, jiwa yang tenang, fikiran yang tajam, perjalanan yang mudah, tindakan yang betul, perhubungan yang harmonis serta waja diri yang unggul untuk mengemudikan negara kita secara bersama dalam mengharungi proses kemajuan seterusnya.

Di Ipoh
Di Kuala TerengganuPergerakan Pemuda Barisan Nasional (BN) akan menganjurkan satu perhimpunan Menjunjung Setia “Daulat Tuanku!” secara besar-besaran di Dewan Merdeka, Pusat Dagangan Dunia Putra (PWTC), Kuala Lumpur 19 Februari ini.

KUALA LUMPUR, 13 Mei: Jika hendak dikatakan dosa kepada raja-raja Melayu, para pimpinan Umnolah yang 'berdosa besar' kerana membiarkan para pengikut mereka menaikkan kain rentang yang menyifatkan Sultan Terengganu sebagai binatang semasa kekecohan perlantikan MB negeri itu baru-baru ini.
"Mengapa pemimpin Umno yang mendakwa membela raja dan ketuanan Melayu bertindak lebih biadap dari Karpal yang mungkin tidak tahu adat resam dan sensitiviti orang Melayu itu?" tulis Naib Presiden PAS, Ustaz Ahmad Awang dalam tulisan keduanya di blog beliau usahmadawang.blogspot.com. LAGI

-----------------
Apabila Dr Mahathir Mohamad mengambil alih tampuk pemerintahan pada 1981, antara tindakan awal beliau ialah melucutkan kuasa raja dalam meluluskan undang dalam masa 30 hari. Krisis perlembagaan yang berlaku pada 1984 ini telah menyebabkan raja-raja tidak lagi mempunyai apa-apa kuasa. Mungkin Dr Mahathir ada sebab untuk memudahkan pentadbiran beliau kerana semenjak 1960-an lagi Dr Mahathir tidak mahu orang Melayu menjadi ‘Red Indian’ yang berlindung di sebalik hak-hak istimewa.
Kemuncak krisis dengan raja-raja ini tercetus pada 1992 apabila berlaku krisis di Istana Johor ekoran tindakan putera Johor, Tunku Majid menampar seorang jurulatih hoki. Dr Mahathir mengambil kesempatan ini untuk melucutkan imuniti raja-raja. Sejak itu, raja-raja boleh didakwa di mahkamah jika melakukan jenayah. Dalam satu aspek, tindakan ini mungkin baik, tetapi dalam sudut yang lain ia telah menghilangkan ketuanan Raja-Raja Melayu. Semua rakyat tidak suka rajanya zalim dan raja yang adil itulah yang disembah. Tetapi perbuata melucutkan imuniti raja-raja telah menjadikan raja-raja kehilangan ketuanan.

Dahulu pemimpin UMNO membela raja-raja kerana ingin mempertahankan periuk nasi mereka yang dicampakkan pasir oleh British. Kini pemimpin UMNO cuba mempergunakan isu kedaulatan Raja-Raja Melayu setelah periuk nasi mereka ditelingkupkan oleh rakyat sendiri!!

From The Scribe.......
The immunity of the Malay Rulers and the royalty in the performance of their official/state duties has never been taken away. They continue to enjoy that immunity.What was taken away during the second amendment in the early 1990s was their immunity from prosecution in the conducts of their private affairs or non-state matters like cheating their business partners and beating up people.That amendment came about when a Malaysian Indian hockey coach was beaten up by a member of the Johor royal household for excluding a prince from taking part in a junior hockey match.I remember that event very well because the New Straits Times took up the issue. Our correspondent in Johor Baru was harassed and threatened, forcing us to bring him back to Kuala Lumpur temporarily. .. LAGI
------------------
KUALA LUMPUR, 12 Dec 2008: Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) is defending the Malay rulers’ rights as part of efforts to balance the power currently concentrated in the executive, its vice-president R Sivarasa said.
He said two areas in the Federal Constitution ought to be reformed to reflect a “true” constitutional monarchy. These involve the 1993 amendment that took away immunity from criminal and civil prosecution for the nine sultans, and another amendment the same year that removed the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong’s check-and-balance role on bills passed by Parliament.
This explains why PKR president Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail called for royal immunity to be returned to the rulers in her speech at the party’s annual congress on 29 Nov. Lest this statement be misunderstood, Sivarasa said it must be explained in the context of the principles of a constitutional monarchy.
It does not mean absolute or total immunity from prosecution, he noted, but that any case to be brought against the king must first involve his removal as the head of state so that he is not tried in his capacity as the Agong. ... LAGI

We Salute You, Mr. Erdogan
“Mr Peres, you are older than me. Your voice is too loud,” Erdogan told Peres, saying his emotion belied a guilty conscience.
“You kill people,” Erdogan told the 85-year-old Israeli leader. “I remember the children who died on beaches. I remember two former prime ministers who said they felt very happy when they were able to enter Palestine on tanks.”
When Erdogan was asked to stop, he angrily stalked off, leaving fellow panellists UN Secretary-General Ban-Ki moon and Arab League Secretary Amr Moussa.
“When it comes to killing, you know it too well,” the Turkish leader said.
When the moderator tried to cut short Erdogan’s remarks, saying it was past time to adjourn for dinner, he answered in frustration, “Don’t interrupt me. You are not allowing me to speak.”
He then said: “I will not come to Davos again.” ..MORE

Turkish PM storms out of Gaza debate with Israeli president
DAVOS, Switzerland (AFP) – Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday stormed out of an angry debate at the Davos forum on the Gaza war with Israel's President Shimon Peres.
"I do not think I will be coming back to Davos after this because you do not let me speak," the Islamist-rooted prime minister shouted before marching off the stage in front of Peres, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and an elite audience of ministers and international officials at the World Economic Forum.
Erdogan criticised the audience for applauding Peres' emotional defence of Israel's war in Gaza, before the moderator, Washington Post journalist David Ignatius, insisted that the debate had gone overtime.
He said Israel had carried out "barbarian" actions in Gaza. ..MORE

What happened in Davos is something that the Ummah will cherish for a very long time. Enough is enough of all this crazy war and brutal killings. And Israel government must be made known of all these nonsense. Gaza is 'an open prison'. And the West will ensure that Gazans will stay like that forever, otherwise Israel will perish!? We salute you PM Erdogan.

Spurs to end Keane's Anfield misery
Robbie Keane is on the verge of a £15million return to Tottenham after being ditched by Rafael Benitez for Liverpool's most important game of the season against Chelsea today.
Benitez, who has also won important contract concessions from the club's American owners, Tom Hicks and George Gillett, effectively ended Keane's six-month Anfield career yesterday when he left the mercurial striker out of his squad to face Luiz Felipe Scolari's side.
Liverpool must win today if they are to stay in the race for their first League title since 1990. But the omission of Keane, 28, prompted Spurs manager Harry Redknapp, reeling from the loss of Jermain Defoe for several weeks with a foot injury, to move fast to secure the Irishman as a replacement.

Keane, the Republic of Ireland captain, scored 107 goals for the White Hart Lane club between 2002-2008 and although he upset some fans with the manner of his departure for Anfield last July, most are likely to welcome him back.
Spurs, lying 14th after a 3-2 defeat at Bolton yesterday, are unwilling to repay the full £20.3m they received from Liverpool, but the clubs are likely to agree a fee before Monday's 5pm transfer deadline.
The departure of Keane from Anfield is a significant victory for Benitez in the power battle that has threatened to derail Liverpool's title ambitions this season. Benitez was unhappy that Liverpool paid the full blocking his £18m move for Aston Villa's England midfielder Gareth Barry.
Keane has scored only seven goals in 28 games for Liverpool and publicly showed dissent whenever substituted by Benitez, whose preferred attack is Fernando Torres, supported by Steven Gerrard. .. MORE

Welcome home Robby Keane! You should not have left Spurs for Liverpool. With due respect to Liverpool, Benitez and Gerrard, you dont belong to the Kops. You are a Spurs and you know that.
Talking about Spurs, I dont know why Redknapp took so long in finding a replacement for Gomez. Spurs need a good goalkeeper and another one or two more good defenders, then only can Spurs ascend to the tpo four. Anyway, I think, they are going to win the carling cup. Watch out you Red Devils!
Rice anyone?!!
Condoleezza Rice is now looking for love From Daily Mail UK Online,
Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has revealed she's looking for love.
With masses of free time suddenly on her hands, President Bush's former ally says she plans to focus more on finding romance.
Like so many women in high-flying careers, Ms Rice found herself having to choose between her personal life and her demanding role as Bush's right-hand woman.
For four years, her personal life had to come a distant second - but she is now ready to concentrate on herself.
Ms Rice, 54, has visited 84 countries and travelled a million miles over the years - never once pausing to concentrate on that special someone.
But that could all change as she takes a step back and returns to lecturing students at Stanford University, in California.
Appearing on U.S. morning chat show The View, hosted by Whoopi Goldberg, she said: 'People say you work so hard and you've dedicated so much to your career that you're really shorting your personal life, but the truth of the matter is that I've never found anyone I wanted to marry.
'It doesn't mean I won't, but I didn't - yet.' .. MORE
------------------------------
Kesian. The price that one has to pay in pursue of one's ambition ( for Rice.., it was national duty!). Anyway, wishing Rice all the best.
