PENGARAH PELAJARAN JOHOR LETAK JAWATAN
PENGARAH TAK BERTAMADUN
Pegawai kerajaan tidak boleh menunjukkan sokongan kepada mana-mana parti politik, kata pengerusi Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR), Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Yusof sambil menambah bahawa mereka perlu sentiasa menjaga tahap "profesionalisme" masing-masing.
Beliau mengulas kes seorang pegawai tinggi kerajaan di Johor yang menggesa para guru menyokong "kempen kerajaan" dalam pilihan raya kecil DUN Tenang yang akan berlangsung pada 30 Januari depan.
Abdul Aziz menjelaskan, kakitangan kerajaan mesti mengenepikan "pandangan dan pendirian politik" masing-masing dan menjaga kesopanan "profesional" serta sentiasa bersikap berkecuali.
Tarikh penamaan calon bagi pilihan raya kecil tersebut - ekoran
kematian penyandangnya dari BN, Datuk Sulaiman Taha - ditetapkan pada 22 Januari depan.
Bagaimanapun, Abdul Aziz (kiri) berkata, "adalah tidak salah" untuk kakitangan awam menjayakan dasar atau program kerajaan negeri.
"Baik Pakatan Rakyat atau BN, pegawai kerajaan perlu setia kepada kerajaan negeri, tidak kira parti mana (yang mentadbir negeri)," kata Abdul Aziz kepada Malaysiakini.
"Tidak salahnya jika mereka memaklumkan kepada rakyat mengenai inisiatif kerajaan negeri, tetapi ianya berbeza bila seseorang kakitangan awam berkempen dan secara terbuka meminta mereka yang hadir, untuk mengundi, contohnya, BN atau PKR," tambahnya.
Khir Toyo serah sementara gelaran Datuk Seri
SHAH ALAM, 12 Jan – Bekas Menteri Besar Selangor Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo berkata beliau telah memulangkan sementara pingat Darjah Kebesaran Negeri Selangor yang membawa gelaran ‘‘Dato Seri’’.
Mohamad Khir menulis dalam blognya di http://www.drkhir.com hari ini bahawa tindakan itu diambil selepas beliau dihadapkan ke mahkamah berhubung tuduhan rasuah membabitkan pemilikan dua lot tanah dan sebuah rumah mewah di Seksyen 7 di sini.
Katanya, pada pertengahan Disember 2010 yang lalu, beliau telah menghantar sepucuk surat kepada Sultan Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah bagi memulangkan sementara pingat Seri Paduka Mahkota Selangor (S.P.M.S) yang membawa gelaran Datuk Seri.
“Hari ini Dewan Diraja (Selangor) telah memperkenankan pemulangan semula pingat tersebut.
“Pemulangan semula pingat ini bagi mengelakkan darjah kebesaran negeri turut terpalit dengan sebarang keaiban sepanjang pertuduhan dan perbicaraan yang akan berlangsung (berhubung kes),” katanya.
Mohamad Khir, yang juga Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri kawasan Sungai Panjang, berkata berikutan itu, semua media dan penganjur program hendaklah menggugurkan nama Datuk Seri dari pangkal namanya dan menggunakan nama Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo sahaja.
Disember lepas, Mohamad Khir, 45, mengaku tidak bersalah dan minta dibicarakan atas pertuduhan beliau didakwa telah mendapatkan untuk dirinya dan isteri Datin Seri Zahrah Kechik, 45, suatu barang berharga dengan suatu balasan yang beliau ketahui tidak mencukupi iaitu dua lot tanah dan sebuah banglo No. 8 dan 10, Jalan Suasa 7/1 L, Seksyen 7, Shah Alam, daripada Ditamas Sdn Bhd melalui pengarah syarikatnya Shamsuddin Hayroni, dengan harga RM3.5 juta sedangkan hartanah itu telah dibeli oleh Ditamas pada 23 Dis 2004 dengan harga RM6.5 juta.
Beliau juga telah meletakkan jawatannya sebagai Ketua Pembangkang di Dewan Undangan Negeri Selangor pada 8 Disember. – Bernama
Why did Beng Hock die? Who are his killers?
We don’t need experts or eminent persons to tell us if Teoh Beng Hock’s human
rights have been violated. Ask the common man in the street and he will tell you
right away that Beng Hock’s rights have been blatantly and violently abused and
violated. This fact is as plain as daylight.
So why do we need a Royal Commission of Inquiry to find out “whether it (MACC)
had violated human rights”. Beng Hock’s family is not interested in this.
Malaysians don’t want a RCI to waste its time in investigating procedures
adopted by the MACC with regard to his death. That’s not the issue, dear Prime
Minister.
All that everyone is dying to find out is how did Beng Hock die? Why did he die?
Who caused his death?
The inquest has clearly stated that it wasn’t a suicide. How then did he drop
from the 14th floor and land on the 5th floor of the MACC building? Who was
responsible for this fall from the 14th floor, dear Prime Minister?
The inquest has confirmed that there were pre-fall neck injuries. Who caused
these injuries on Beng Hock’s neck? Why were these injuries caused? What damage
did these injuries do to Beng Hock? Did he die as a result of these injuries?
This is what Beng Hock’s family is demanding to know, dear Prime Minister. Why
are you wasting everybody’s time setting up a RCI to carry out irrelevant
investigations that will not throw any light as to how Beng Hock died – and why.
This is what the whole country is interested in, dear Prime Minister.
Beng Hock was interrogated for nearly 11 hours from 5.00 pm right up to 3.45 am
the next day in the most inhuman way. He was deprived of food, denied sleep and
rest and subjected to intense questioning. What does that suggest, dear Prime
Minister?
Before 5.00pm on that day – 15 July 2009 – it was a working day for Beng Hock.
Assuming that he got up for work at 7.00 am, it would add another 10 hours to
his non-stop questioning for nearly 11 hours. That would mean he was on his feet
for almost 21 hours. Doesn’t it strike you as an extreme form of torture that he
was subjected to in a barbaric manner, dear Prime Minister?
Under the circumstance, do we really need a RCI to tell us that Beng Hock’s
human rights were indeed violated? Isn’t it very apparent? Isn’t it rather
obvious?
What is not apparent and what is not obvious is: How did Beng Hock die? Who
caused his death? Who are his killers? That is all Beng Hock’s family is dying
to know in order to bring closure to this human tragedy, dear Prime Minister.
The purpose of the RCI should simply be to establish why and how Beng Hock died.
Any other investigation will not do justice to Beng Hock’s family, dear Prime
Minister.
