IJN DI SWASTAKAN SELEPAS PILIHANRAYA KECIL-ANWAR

Permatang Pauh 20 Disember.Kehadiran DSAI di Permatang Pauh telah diserbu oleh para wartawan untuk bertanya khabar tentang YB Mohd Fairus TKM1 Pulau Pinang yang dikatakan dibawah prestasi.

Apabila di tanya tentang YB Fairus dari segi kehadiran , perkhidmatan dan adanya surat memorendum untuk beliau melapaskan jawatan namun di halang Fairus.Dato Seri Anwar menjelaskan bahawa beliau akan melihat akan perkara ini dan melakukan siasatan.

Ditanya soalan yang sama kepada pemangku AMK YB Ong menjelaskan bahawa ianya bukan dengan tujuan tersebut.Akan tetapi ianya adalah untuk tujuan bertemu dan AMK berharap akan dapat memberikan perkhidmatan sokongan kepada YB-YB PKR.

“Cabaran terhadap memberi perkhidmatan adalah penting kerana adakalanya saya sendiri terpaksa hadir dalam berbagai hal dan adakalanya terpaksa balik.Walau pun kadang-kadang alasan saya munasabah, namun saya terpaksa meluangkan masa untuk kembali ke Permatang Pauh.Saya tidak boleh menyatakan saya sibuk dan memberi alasan.Masa saya jadi Timbalan Perdana Menteri keadaan ini tak ada orang gaduh pun.Kesedaran rakyat sekarang ni mengharapkan dan mengharapkan sesuatu yang tinggi.Kita akan melihat keadaan ini” Demikian jelas DSAI

Apabila di tanya tentang IJN beliau meyatakan “Saya beri pandangan yang jelas kita tak boleh swastakan institusi kepada rakyat terutamanya perkhidmatan kesihatan . Saya menyatakan bahawa kita tak perlu swatakan kemudahan yang memeberikan manfaat kepada rakyat terbanyak.Dana besar diberikan untuk tujuan yang jelas walaupun dapat pulangan tetapi dari segi memberi perkhidmatan kepada rakyat berpendapatan rendah.Kebimbangan dirasakan kerana rakyat miskin terpaksa menunggu lama dan mengutip derma dan mendapatkan rawatan dan ini satu keputusan di tangguh. Saya tidak yakin ianya akan menolak. Penangguhan ini hanya sementara kerana kerajaan memikirkan pilihanraya kecil Kuala Terangganu.Selepas itu sambung lagi.Dengan demikian jika ianya di perbandingkan di US yang memberi perkhidmatan yang banyak ,dan bagaimana CUBA yang mana kemudahan kesihatannya baik kepada rakyatnya, jadi pemimpin yang rajin melawat cuba buatlah” demikian jelas Dato Seri Anwar lagi


Beliau juga menjelaskan bahawa kehadiran beliau adalah untuk menghadiri mesyuarat bahagian dan menerima pandangan dari ahli dan orang ramai.

“Dalam kongres lalu kita telah setuju supaya kita nilai prestasi pimpinan kita di semua peringkat dan akan disemak semula pada akhir bulan Februari ini untuk mengatasi dimana kekurangan dan memperbaikinya .Ia tidak ada keputusan untuk membuat perubahan tetapi keputusan untuk mendengar rungutan rakyat”.

Mengeanai pilihanraya kecil Kuala Terangganu, kita telah mengadakan perjumpaan dengan pimpinan Pakatan Rakyat .Sokongan padu dan semua bersetuju untuk turun habis-habisan , maka kerana itu Barisan Nasional takut dan menangguhkan penswastaan IJN.

Sementara itu DSAI sempat melawat seorang penyokong yang sakit dimana beliau disahkan mengidap sakit batuk kering.Sdr Mat Idris bin Hussein dari kampung Permatang Tengah menerima kunjungan DSAI bersama DSWA

DSAI kemudiannya ke rumah adinda beliau Sdr Marzuki dalam kunjungan ke Permatang Pauh untuk menghadiri kenduri kahwin anak saudaranya

PKR not replacing Fairus as DCM

Athi Veeranggan Dec 20, 08 5:54pm

PKR is not replacing its embattled state deputy chief minister Mohamad Fairus Khairuddin, party

MCPX de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim said today.“We're not replacing him or anyone in the Pakatan government,” he told newsmen after attending a local futsal tournament in Seberang Jaya, Penang.The PKR supremo was responding to a report in a blog claiming that a delegation of several former staff from Fairus’ office have met and urged Anwar to sack him from the Penang government and replace him with someone more competent.

“Anyone can meet me and air their views and opinions. But that does not mean I agree with them. There is not going to be any changes,” he said when asked whether Fairus would be replaced.Anwar’s assurance is a timely boost to the embattled Mohamad Fairus, who has been a target for several blogs, believed to be tacitly supported by several state PKR leaders.

The blogs have attacked Fairus constantly with various allegations of under-performance since he assumed office as Penang DCM after the March general election.Two weeks ago, Anwar gave Fairus and his rival Abdul Malik a stern tongue lashing to end their quarrel and learn to work together for the betterment of the party and state government.PKR state chief Mohd Zahrain Mohamed Hashim, the Bayan Baru MP, is said to be backing Abdul Malik in this power tussle within the fledgling Pakatan state government.

Memo for all three PKR councillorsA recent posting in a blog also alleged that Mohammad Fairus had refused to meet and received a memorandum from a five-man delegation from state PKR youth movement. It is said that the memorandum was a call on Fairus to resign gracefully from his position as Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng’s number two.However, when contacted, the movement's acting chief Ong Chin Wen rubbished the portal mail, and denied that the youth wing has called on Fairus to step down.He revealed that it was a general memorandum meant for all three PKR executive councillors in the state government.

Besides Penanti assemblyperson Fairus, Abdul Malik Abul Kassim (Batu Maung) and Law Choo Kiang (Bukit Tambun) are other two executive councillors.According to Ong, the memorandum highlighted on areas for improvement and brought up several outstanding contentious issues to the attention of the PKR executive councillors.The memorandum also urged the trio to involve PKR youth leaders in their administration's decision-making process and policy implementation.“We never called on Fairus or anyone to resign and make way for others,” he pointed out.

All eyes on MACC,

JAC Billsby Zainon Ahmadmailto:Ahmadnewsdesk@thesundaily.com

FINALLY, the much talked-about proposed laws touted as being part of the reforms being instituted by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi before he leaves office were presented to the Dewan Rakyat on Wednesday.

And it was to give him time to carry out the reforms – the passion for which intensified greatly after the March 8 general elction – that the Umno general assembly and the party elections have been postponed from December to March.

To demonstrate how close to his heart these reforms meant to him, Abdullah came to the Dewan Rakyat – where he had been absent for sometime because of his busy schedule – to table the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Bill (MACC) and the Judicial Appointment Commission Bill (JAC) himself.

The proposed laws will create new bodies – originally thought to be independent agencies – to oversee judicial appointments and fight corruption more effectively so that Malaysia will be a better place for all. But typical of Malaysians, they – or at least their representatives in the Dewan Rakyat – are already discussing the merits and demerits of the bills and whether they are what were promised earlier.

The Dewan Rakyat will only be debating the bills next week but already MPs from the BN and Pakatan Rakat are discussing them in the Members Lounge and in lobby.
On the surface, all BN MPs are saying the bills are likely to restore public and investor confidence in the country’s judicial system and taking the battle against corruption to a higher level.

Some of them, however, share the views of some of the opposition members.
They do not see how the bills, in the forms presented, would change public perception about corruption, or raise confidence in the judicial system.

They do not see how the agencies to be set up would be independent when the prime minister still exerts a lot of influence in their functioning.
With time to study the bills, it would be interesting how they are going to be debated next week.
It was an interesting one hour of debate on an emergency motion by Azmin Ali (PKR-Gombak) to discuss the Bukit Antarabangsa landslide that took four lives on Saturday. No one was really surprised that Speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia allowed it.
"We want all those responsible for approving the project to be prosecuted," thundered Azmin. A few of the Pakatan Rakyat MPs also stood up to lambast the BN, especially the previous Selangor government, for approving the hill slope projects.
Some of them must have felt funny that despite their provocations, the BN backbenchers did not respond with their usual broadsides. Those who stood to speak did so quite civilly.
Minister of Housing and Local Government Datuk Seri Ong Ka Chuan, in his response to Lim Guan Eng (DAP-Bagan), admitted that there were sufficient laws governing approvals for projects but the problem was enforcement.

He said a preliminary report on what happened at Bukit Damansara would be ready next month but may not be made public but the full report on what actually happened on the morning of Saturday would only be ready in three months.

Two interesting disclosures were made during this week’s meeting. On Wednesday, the prime minister in his written reply to Liew Chin Tong (DAP-Bukit Bendera) said the government spends RM6 million a month on rental and maintenance on his official residence in Putrajaya. The money is paid to Putrajaya Holdings.

On Thursday, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar said the government owned about RM3.6 billion worth of properties overseas, mainly buildings housing the country’s foreign missions abroad.
