Kenyataan penuh Anwar Ibrahim tuntut pembebasan 6 pemimpin PSM

Oleh Anwar Ibrahim
Saya menuntut pemerintah agar segera membebaskan enam pemimpin Parti Sosialis, iaitu Ahli Parlimen Sungai Siput, Dr Michael Jeyakumar, M Sarasvathy, Choo Chon Kai, M Sugumaran, A Letchumanan dan R Saras Babu tanpa sebarang syarat. Sebelum ini alasan menahan enam yang terbabit dikatakan kerana terlibat dengan aktiviti subversif. Akan tetapi ternyata itu merupakan helah pemerintah untuk memburuk burukkan Bersih 2.0. semata-mata.

Selepas permohonan Habeas Corpus, alasan penahanan bertukar pula kepada terbabit merancang Perhimpunan Aman Bersih. Alasan yang berdolak dalik ini menjadi bukti penahanan 6 orang tersebut tidak berasas sama sekali.

Bankruptcy now firmly in sight for Malaysia?

By Maclean Patrick of Malaysia Chronicle

Amidst all the racial and religious rhetoric served up by the politicians of the day, Malaysia is facing a far greater problem.

Is Jho Low a Trojan horse?

I sometimes wonder whether this is genuine stupidity or whether Jho Low is a Trojan horse who is doing all this very cleverly and intentionally  to accelerate Najib’s downfall. Why allow Najib’s enemies easy access to ammunition? Jho Low seems to be offering Rosmah’s and Najib’s head to their enemies on a silver platter.

NO HOLDS BARRED

“Jho Low pays record price for NY condo, nearby to Rosmah's favourite jeweller,” said Wong Choon Mei of Malaysia Chronicle on 21 July 2011. In that story she goes on to say:

Remember Jho Low? Yes, apart from Paris Hilton, whizz-kid Jho is also very close to Prime Minister Najib Razak's wife Rosmah Mansor. In fact, the 29-year old Penang boy has just bought a super-luxury penthouse in New York at a sky-high price that has set tongues wagging amongst the property agents there.

More powerful Sabah Education Director if Pakatan Rakyat takes over Govt

By Ezra Haganez

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah and Sarawak can look forward to a more liberalised and decentralised education system under a Pakatan Rakyat Federal Government. But only if PR takes over the Government from ruling Barisan Nasional, that's it.

PKR Vice President, Tian Chua, said PR is aware of the complains from Sabah leaders that the state education director has become less and less powerful lately in determining the management of its education system as the ruling BN has adopted a  more centralising policy on the two East Malaysian states.

In Malaysia, When in Doubt, Blame the Jews

By Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Huffington Post
It's time for Malaysian leaders to grow up. Relying on big-lie Jewish conspiracies is no substitute for honest and transparent governance.

Boss beaten up by employees 伙计打老闆？

Govt still denying the Police did not shoot tear gas or water cannon into Tung Shin Hospital.
