#kerajaangagal133 – Support for two parliamentarians who want allegations about the police and judiciary not to be swept under the carpet

(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)

I support the call by two Parliamentarians, DAP MP for Segambut Hannah Yeoh and Warisan MP for Penampang, Darell Leking, that allegations implicating the independence of the Malaysian judiciary, the legal profession and the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) must not be swept under the carpet.

Hannah and Darell were referring to news reports on alleged interference with the judiciary involving two senior lawyers and that police reports have been lodged by the parties involved.

Malaysiakini recently reported on how what began as an issue over the bumiputera equity requirement for a Petronas licence involving a Malaysian unit of Aker Solutions ASA, Norway’s largest oil services firm, has escalated into claims of judicial fixing that have rocked the legal fraternity.

The two MPs also referred to claims by former IGP Abdul Hamid Bador of political intervention in the police force, when he admitted there was “bad blood” between him and Home Minister Hamzah Zainudin.

Hamid said a minister should only be involved in policy making and should not get involved in the appointments of senior police officers.

Malaysia has a special interest in ensuring the independence of the Judiciary and the professionalism and non-politicisation of the Royal Malaysian Police, which were undermined in previous administrations before the historic 14th General Election which shocked the world with a peaceful and democratic transition of power.

The restoration of the independence of the Judiciary and the professionalism and non-politicisation of the Royal Malaysian Police were two key unfinished reforms of the Pakatan Harapan government when it was toppled after only 22 months by the Sheraton Move conspiracy which ushered in a government which is not only a kakistocracy but have turned Malaysia into a dystopia with the 18-month long losing war against Covid-19 pandemic.

The Sultan of Johore, like the Rulers in the other states, is rightly concerned that the people are living in hardship, fear and anxiety as a result of the 18-month Covid-19 pandemic, turning Malaysia into dystopia.

Malaysians are shocked that a week after the Conference of Rulers special meeting on the Covid-19 pandemic, the government is still negative-minded trying to give an elastic interpretation of the phrase of “as soon as possible” which the Yang di Pertuan Agong and the Conference of Rulers want Parliament and the state legislatures to be convened.

If the Prime Minister has any doubt about the meaning of “as soon as possible”, why didn’t he ask the Yang di Pertuan Agong in his weekly audience with the King?

This is a crucial time for Malaysians to rally behind the cause of the independence of the national institutions in the country, whether the constitutional monarchy, parliamentary democracy, the independence of the judiciary or the professionalism and non-politicisation of the Royal Malaysian Police.

Let us unite to win the invisible and lethal war against the Covid-19 pandemic by upholding the five principles of Rukun Negara although there are Ministers who do not support the Rukun Negara.

#kerajaangagal133 – Sokongan kepada dua Ahli Parlimen yang mahu dakwaan membabitkan kebebasan badan kehakiman negara, profesion undang-undang dan polis disiasat dan tidak dilupakan

Saya menyokong gesaan dua ahli Parlimen, Ahli Parlimen DAP Segambut, Hannah Yeoh dan Ahli Parlimen Warisan Penampang, Darell Leiking, supaya dakwaan membabitkan kebebasan badan kehakiman negara, profesion undang-undang dan Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) disiasat dan tidak dilupakan.

Hannah dan Darell merujuk kepada laporan berita berkenaan dakwaan campur tangan ke atas badan kehakiman negara membabitkan dua peguam kanan dan laporan polis yang telah dibuat oleh mereka yang terlibat.

Malaysiakini sebelum ini melaporkan bagaimana awalnya isu keperluan ekuiti bumiputera untuk mendapatkan lesen Petronas membabitkan unit Aker Solutions ASA di Malaysia, iaitu firma perkhidmatan minyak terbesar di Norway, berkembang menjadi dakwaan pengaturan kehakiman yang membimbangkan golongan peguam (legal fraternity).

Kedua-dua Ahli Parlimen itu turut merujuk dakwaan bekas ketua polis negara (IGP) Abdul Hamid Bador berkenaan campur tangan politik dalam polis, apabila mengakui hubungan tidak baik antara dia dan Menteri Dalam Negeri Hamzah Zainudin.

Hamid mendakwa seorang menteri hanya patut terlibat dalam pembuatan dasar, dan tidak harus terlibat dalam soal pelantikan pegawai polis kanan.

Malaysia mempunyai kepentingan khusus dalam memastikan kebebasan Badan Kehakiman serta profesionalisme PDRM yang tidak dipengaruhi politik. Kedua-dua institusi ini telah dirosakkan oleh pentadbiran terdahulu sebelum Pilihan Raya Umum ke-14 yang bersejarah yang mengejutkan dunia dengan peralihan kuasa yang aman dan demokratik.

Pengembalian kebebasan Badan Kehakiman dan profesionalisme Polis Diraja Malaysia yang tidak dipengaruhi politik adalah dua reformasi utama kerajaan Pakatan Harapan yang tidak dapat diselesaikan ekoran digulingkan setelah hanya 22 bulan mentadbir oleh konspirasi Langkah Sheraton yang membawa masuk sebuah kerajaan yang bukan sahaja kakistokrasi, malah telah menjadikan Malaysia sebuah distopia dengan kekalahan dalam perang melawan wabak Covid-19 sejak 18 bulan lalu.

Sultan Johor, seperti mana Sultan di negeri lain, menzahirkan keprihatinan terhadap rakyat yang kesusahan, ketakutan dan kegelisahan ekoran masalah penularan virus Covid-19 yang berlarut sejak 18 bulan yang lalu.

Rakyat Malaysia terkejut bahawa seminggu selepas perbincangan khas Majlis Raja-Raja Melayu berhubung situasi pandemik Covid-19, kerajaan masih mempersoalkan tentang tafsiran ungkapan “secepat mungkin” yang dititahkan oleh Yang di-Pertuan Agong dan Majlis Raja-Raja Melayu berkenaan pembukaan Parlimen dan Dewan Undangan Negeri.

Sekiranya Perdana Menteri mempunyai keraguan tentang erti “secepat mungkin”, mengapa beliau tidak memohon penjelasan dalam pertemuan mingguannya dengan Yang di-Pertuan Agong?

Ini adalah masa yang sangat penting bagi rakyat Malaysia untuk bersatu di belakang kebebasan institusi kebangsaan di negara ini, sama ada Raja Berperlembagaan, demokrasi berparlimen, kebebasan kehakiman atau profesionalisme Polis Diraja Malaysia yang tidak dipengaruhi politik.

Marilah kita bersatu untuk memenangkan perang melawan Covid-19 yang merupakan musuh yang tidak dapat dilihat tetapi amat berbahaya dengan menegakkan lima prinsip Rukun Negara walaupun ada Menteri yang tidak dilihat mendukung semangat Rukun Negara.
