Kartunis Zunar hari ini dikepung dan diancam sekumpulan kira-kira 30 individu tidak dikenali ketika mempamerkan karya satira mengkritik kepimpinan Datuk Seri Najib Razak di Komtar, Pulau Pinang.
Zunar atau nama sebenarnya Zulkiflee Anwar Ulhaque berkata dalam kejadian 2.45 petang itu, beliau hampir ditumbuk, tetapi polis dapat meleraikan kumpulan itu.
“Saya didatangi kira-kira 30 orang bertindak agresif secara fizikal menyuruh saya menurunkan lukisan yang dipamerkan. Mereka mengancam dan mengepung saya.
“Tidak ada kerosakan yang berlaku kerana saya turunkan lukisan saya. Kalau saya masih ada di sana, tidak tahulah apa yang akan berlaku,” katanya kepada FMT.
Zunar berkata beliau bertindak tenang dan tidak melawan walaupun diancam dan diugut kumpulan itu yang segelintirnya penyokong Umno.
“Saya tidak melawan, kerana ia bukanlah matlamat saya. Saya hanya mahu adakan pameran. Tetapi keadaan sangat ganas hingga memaksa polis dan FRU datang meleraikan kejadian tadi,” katanya.
Dianggarkan kira-kira 30 anggota polis dan 10 anggota FRU dikerahkan di bangunan Komtar, Pulau Pinang.
Katanya, pameran lukisan itu dijadualkan berlangsung selama 3 hari bermula pada hari ini, namun ia terpaksa dibatalkan atas faktor keselamatan.
“Saya tidak pernah lagi mengalami keadaan sebegini, ini kali pertama. Bagi saya kalau mereka tidak setuju, tidak ada masalah, mereka boleh bantah.
“Sepatutnya sampai 3 hari di sini (Komtar), tetapi saya tidak meneruskan pameran kerana isu keselamatan.
“Terima kasih kepada anggota polis yang datang cepat, jika tidak, tak tahulah apa yang akan berlaku,” katanya. - fmt
Hadi tangguh RUU 355 sekali lagi,
isyarat permainan politik UMNO-PAS...
isyarat permainan politik UMNO-PAS...
Tindakan Ahli Parlimen Marang, Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang yang memohon supaya huraian usul persendirian bagi memperkasakan mahkamah syariah yang dibentangnya hari ini di Parlimen dibawa ke sesi akan datang menimbulkan pelbagai persoalan.
Ia merupakan pembentangan kali kedua setelah Hadi membentangkan usul pindaan Rang Undang-Undang Mahkamah Syariah (Bidang Kuasa Jenayah) (Pindaan) 2016 itu buat kali pertama dua minggu sebelum Pilihan Raya Kecil (PRK) Kuala Kangsar dan Sungai Besar diadakan.
“Apakah tujuan sebenarnya polemik RUU 355 ini dibiarkan berpanjangan? Mengapa bila tiba saat pembacaan dan penghuraiannya hari ini, Marang menunda lagi?
“Dengan segala ‘hanky panky’ ini, timbul persoalan apakah ketelusan dalam usul persendirian RUU 355 Marang?
“Atau adakah ia tidak lebih dari sekadar menjadi alat untuk mencapai tujuan politik tertentu?” soal Penolong Setiausaha Publisiti DAP Johor, Sheikh Omar Ali dalam satu kenyataannya, hari ini.
Menurutnya, penangguhan kali pertama perbahasan usul yang dibawa Presiden PAS itu telah mencetuskan pelbagai polemik di kalangan masyarakat dengan ada sesetengah pihak yang mendakwa ia sebagai hukum hudud dan mengkafirkan mereka yang menolak usul itu.
“Pada mulanya, ia dicanang hingga riuh sekampung seolah-olah RUU 355 ini ialah hukuman hudud. Golongan yang menolaknya ibarat menolak Islam dan boleh gugur keIslamannya.
“Hal yang rupa-rupanya bukanlah hukuman hudud ini akhirnya menyumbang kepada perpecahan Pakatan Rakyat.
“Hal ini telah mula menimbulkan bibit-bibit pertikaian, apakah di sana wujud agenda halus politik sedondon UMNO dan PAS yang berselindung di balik RUU 355?
“Pasca bacaan usul kali pertama itu, terus dipergiatkan lagi dan dijaja ke sana ke mari bahawa mereka yang menolak RUU 355 seakan-akan anti-Islam,” katanya.
Hadi yang mengadakan sidang media seusai pembentangan usul beliau itu memaklumkan bahawa PAS akan menganjurkan ‘perhimpunan besar-besaran’ bagi menggembleng sokongan rakyat terhadap agendanya itu.
“PAS akan anjurkan himpunan aman raksasa mewakili umat Islam pelbagai parti politik dan NGO termasuk di kalangan bukan Islam yang sokong (RUU355) untuk buktikan sokongan mereka pada RUU ini,” katanya hari ini. – Roketkini.com
RUU 355: Kita mentertawakan diri sendiri
The 'standard' of a deputy minister...
As I write this, he has not done that as he sees himself of not doing anything wrong. Based on that, we can draw our own conclusion as far as the apology goes.
As we know Tajuddin has, in Parliament, called DAP's MP for Seputeh Teresa Kok "the only woman with a kok".
An uproar followed with members of the opposition protesting vehemently. But Tajuddin even taunted Kasthuri Patto, the MP for Batu Kawan, also from the DAP, by mimicking her objection in a squeaky way. As Malaysiakini puts it, "in a cartoonish way".
And somehow deputy speaker Datuk Ronald Kiandee saw it right to "rule" that Tajuddin "was only referring to Teresa Kok's name ".
The deputy speaker is entitled to his opinion, but to me what Tajuddin said was crude, vulgar and dirty.
I'll borrow a line from Malaysiakini -- the word "Kok" is phonetically similar to colloquial slang for male genitalia. We all know and agree with that.
Tajuddin has insulted not only the MP for Seputeh but all Chinese Malaysians with the surname "Kok". In fact, he has insulted the entire Chinese community whatever their family names might be.
MCA's Datin Chew Mei Fun, a deputy minister in the Najib administration, has slammed Tajuddin, saying his "boorish behavior only reflected the Umno man's warped mental thoughts and imagery" as reported by Malay Mail Online.
"It is bad news enough already for BN that Tajuddin has carved infamy to himself with his profanities in the Dewan Rakyat in the past," said Chew as quoted by Malay Mail Online.
Yes, we can still remember what he called DAP's MP M. Kulasegaran in Parliament some time ago. There were many other "incidents", not to mention the sexual innuendos which I do not intend to outline here.
Outside Parliament, Tajuddin also said a lot of nasty things, like threatening to slap the Chinese if the community took their grouses outside the country.
It was last year when China's ambassador to Malaysia visited Petaling Street when there was communal tension with the Red Shirts' "show of strength" in the shopping area.That's just on example. And now this.
In the words of Chew: "What more by a deputy minister against the family name of any Malaysian Chinese and more so with allusions over the male genitalia."
Chew wants Tajuddin to apologize to all Chinese Malaysians as well as women folk for his demeaning insult "if he really has any curlies".
Good for Chew. But perhaps Chew or the MCA itself should take it to the next level by bringing the matter or "complain" about Tajuddin's behavior to Datuk Seri Najib Razak himself?
Enough said lest I be accused of trying to "teach" MCA what to do, or worst, pouring oil on the fire. But I'll say this. Tajuddin has got away with what he has said many times before without even a slap on the wrist by his bosses. So, chances are he's going to continue with his ways.
In 1995, Tajuddin was sacked from Umno following allegations he had paid RM6 million to secure his position as an Umno division chief, hence his "nickname" The Six Million Dollar Man.
In 1998, he was accepted back into Umno without any conditions and rose to the positions he holds today. - Mohsin Abdullah.mysinchew.com
