Lantikan wakil pemantau wang ehsan, Kelantan tolak

KOTA BHARU, 24 Jan: Kerajaan Kelantan menolak tawaran Pusat untuk melantik wakil kerajaan negeri dalam jawatankuasa pemantau wang ehsan di Jabatan Pembangunan Persekutuan (JPP) negeri.

Menteri Besar, Tuan Guru Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat menyatakan demikian pada sidang media selepas menerima kunjungan 45 peserta ekspedisi penyerahan memorandum menyokong tuntutan royalti petroleum oleh PAS Kawasan Batu, Kuala Lumpur, di JKR 10, di sini petang ini.

“Kalau dijemput semata-mata untuk menerima wang ehsan, saya tidak akan pergi dan benarkan, 100 peratus kerajaan Kelantan akan tolak,” ujarnya.

Ianya sebagai mengulas cadangan Timbalan Menteri Kewangan, Datuk Awang Adek Hussin, yang mendakwa akan menubuhkan jawatankuasa pembangunan wang ehsan di peringkat Jabatan Pembangunan Persekutuan (JPP).

Menurut Nik Aziz lagi, lebih penting dari penubuhan jawatankuasa itu adalah memastikan dahulu bentuk perundingan yang ingin dibuat sama ada rundingan soal royalti atau wang ehsan.

“Kalau nak beri wang ehsan tak payah rundinglah, sebab dia paksa kita.

“Saya tidak akan terima wang harta Kelantan,” ujarnya.

Terdahulu PAS Kawasan Batu, menyerahkan memorandum sokongan terbuka kepada kerajaan Kelantan, dalam menuntut royalti dari Kerajaan Pusat.

Memorandum berkenaan diserahkan oleh Yang Dipertua PAS Kawasan Batu, Ishak Surin kepada Nik Aziz di JKR 10.

Ketika berucap pada majlis itu, Tuan Guru sekali lagi menjelaskan kerajaan Kelantan menuntut royalti mengikut landasan Islam, di mana Allah memberikan hasil bumi seperti logam, emas, batu, besi dan sebagainya termasuk minyak adalah di bumi Kelantan.

“Sesiapa yang mengambil hak orang lain, dia akan berdosa dunia akhirat, di dunia dia dikutuk dan didoa musnah oleh rakyat Kelantan, di akhirat dia akan dimamah oleh api neraka.

“Mereka sebelum ini mendakwa Kelantan tiada hak, tetapi sekarang ada hak, cuma dengan nama ehsan, kita berdoa pada Allah, sama ada awak (pemimpin Umno) nak kata ada hak atau tak ada hak, petrol ni tak ada di Kuala Lumpur,”ujarnya.

Sambungnya lagi, petrol berkenaan hanya ada di Kelantan, Terengganu, Sabah dan Sarawak.

Bagaimanapun kerajaan pusat didakwa mengaku kesemua itu hak mereka dan menafikan hak negeri.

Jelasnya, lebih malang lagi wang ehsan tersebut akan diberi kepada rakyat melalui JPP seolah-olah Kelantan tiada kerajaan.

“Beri wang ehsan tersebut pada Kerajaan Kelantan kerana rakyat dia ada kerajaan, ada bendera sendiri, ada Menteri Besar, ini mengarut kerana mereka terlampau bertuhan kepada duit,”ujarnya lagi.

"Kalau inginkan wang hasil minyak dari Kelantan, minta dari kerajaan negeri yang ada sekarang dan bukannya negeri ini memohon wang ehsan dari Kerajaan Pusat," katanya. - harakahdaily

Aku cuma nak kata:

Aku amat bersetuju Tuan Guru Nik Aziz menolak mentah mentah. Inilah perangkap yang cuba dipasang oleh UMNO/BN. Jika Kelantan hantar wakil, secara tak langsung Kelantan telah menerima dan mengiktiraf Wang Ehsan dan bukan bukan nya Royalti. Berita nya nanti akan dijaja. Segala kredit yang baik akan pergi kepada UMNO/BN dan sebalik nya segala salahguna @ salahurus dan kredit yang buruk tentang wang tersebut, Kerajaan PAS yang akan menanggung nya. Inilah niat jahat UMNO yang mungkin tersembunyi disebalik cadangan dan tawaran tersebut.

Program penerangan PINTAS untuk rampas Selangor dari PR

KUALA LUMPUR 26 Julai - Jentera penerangan UMNO Selangor diminta supaya mengadakan kempen penerangan sekurang-kurangnya sekali dalam sebulan di setiap 56 kawasan Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) negeri itu bermula Ogos depan.

Ketua Penerangannya, Ahmad Maslan berkata, program itu merupakan sebahagian daripada intipati Program Inisiatif Tawan Selangor (Pintas) yang dilancarkan secara rasmi hari ini dan menjadi satu daripada usaha penerangan untuk merampas kembali Selangor daripada kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat (PR).

“Melalui Pintas, semua jentera penerangan di setiap DUN diminta mengadakan aktiviti penerangan bagi menarik kembali sokongan rakyat. Antara program yang bakal diadakan ialah sesi ceramah umum dan berkelompok, pertandingan syarahan serta kempen memasang banner.

“Contohnya, melalui pertandingan syarahan penganjur (penerangan) boleh memilih tajuk-tajuk yang sensasi seperi ’Kerajaan Selangor Zalim' dan `Di Sebalik Kematian Teoh Beng Hock’.

“Ini akan memberi peluang kepada peserta meluahkan pandangan mereka dalam membongkar segala penyelewengan kerajaan negeri,” katanya kepada pemberita selepas merasmikan mesyuarat Perwakilan Pergerakan Pemuda UMNO Bahagian Selayang di sini hari ini. - Bernama

Komen aku:

Program penerangan untuk menarik kembali sokongan rakyat ?. Nak terang kan apa lagi ?. Banyak yang dah terang dan tak perlu nak bersuluh. OK kalau nak menerangkan jugak, kita cuba dengan pertandingan syarahan yang bertajuk "Khir Toyo dan rumah agam Jutaan Ringgit" atau "Lawatan Khir Toyo ke Disneyland". Intipati isi syarahan boleh dirujuk disini. Ada berani?

Tan Sri Muhyiddin kata Petronas akan jelas isu royalti minyak Kelantan - Tak ada pun !

PAS mengunakan isu royalti minyak Petronas dalam PRK Manik Urai. Isu yang cukup kuat untuk mengalahkan BN jika PAS mempunyai fakta dan bukti BN memainkan peranan supaya royalti tidak dibayar kepada Kelantan.

Rabu lalu (8 July 09), Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin dalam lawatannya ke Manek Urai, menjelaskan Kabinet sudah mengarahkan Petronas memberikan penjelasan terperinci berhubung isu tuntutan royalti minyak oleh kerajaan Pas Kelantan.

Menteri Perdagangan Antarabangsa dan Industri, Datuk Mustapa Mohamed seperti burung kakak tua atau burung tiong juga menyatakan benda yang sama. Beliau yang juga Pengerusi Badan Perhubungan Umno Kelantan berkata, melalui penjelasan itu, Pas yang begitu terdesak sekarang perlu menerima kenyataan royalti minyak bukan milik negeri seperti digembar-gemburkan selama ini.

Kempen PRK Manik Urai akan berakhir 12.00 malam. Aku tunggu jugak dalam berita TV jam 8.00 malam, kalau kalau ada penjelasan dari Petronas seperti yang dijanjikan oleh Tan Sri Muhyiddin dan Datuk Mustapa Mohamed. Namaun hampa. Yang ada hanya lah kempen kempen terakhir BN. Kempen yang merendahkan rendahkan tahap pemikiran majoriti rakyat. Masih menganggap majoriti rakyat mempunyai pemikiran macam bapa dan datuk aku (aku pun sebenar nya nak masuk 50..he..he..).

Berbalik kepada penjelasan Petronas, sehingga kesaat akhir kempen, aku masih belum menemui artikel atau mendengar dari mana mana sumber pun tentang penjelasan tersebut. Mungkin juga aku tertinggal bas, tetapi kalau Petronas memang tidak memberi penjelasan maka terbukti lah bahawa Tan Sri Muhyiddin dan Datuk Mustapa Mohamed ada lah berbohong kepada rakyat dan pengundi di Manik Urai. Kepada yang 'mudah lupa'....ini lah aku cuba peringatkan. Diharap isu royalti minyak Kelantan ini dapat terus diketengahkan walaupun selepas PRK.

Sekian dan selamat mrngundi kepada pengundi Manik Urai.

Dramatic Moment Somali Pirates Attack

Chinese State Media Release Pictures of Somali Pirates Attacking Chinese Ship

By ZOE MAGEE
Dec 18, 2008

China today announced that it is preparing to send its own ships to protect the safe passage of cargo as it passes through the pirate-hit Gulf of Aden.

"China is actively considering sending warships to participate in convoy actions in the Somali sea and Gulf of Aden," China's foreign ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao told reporters.

An international anti-piracy force beat off the attempted takeover of a Chinese cargo ship off the Somali coast on Wednesday, sending in attack helicopters which fired on the pirates and forced them to abandon the ship they had boarded. Nine pirates armed with guns overtook the Chinese freighter in speedboats and boarded the vessel, according to a spokesman from the International Maritime Bureau's piracy reporting centre in Malaysia (ABC)

Indian Navy sinks Somali pirate vessel

Indian Navy’s warship INS Tabar

Gulf of Aden, Nov 19: Within days of preventing the hijack of an Indian merchant vessel, India Navy’s warship INS Tabar, after exchange of fire, sank a pirate vessel off the Somali coast.

The stealth frigate INS Tabar, which is currently in the pirate-infested Gulf of Aden for Anti-Piracy Surveillance and Patrol Operations, was fired at by pirates on board a ship suspected to be the 'mother vessel' late Tuesday.

“INS Tabar encountered a pirate vessel in south-west of Oman with two speedboats in tow. This vessel was similar in description to the 'mother vessel' mentioned in various piracy bulletins. INS Tabar closed in on the vessel and asked her to stop for investigation,” Indian Navy spokesperson Neerad Sinha said. Following repeated calls, the vessel threatened to blow up the INS Tabar if it closed in.

“Pirates were seen roaming on the upper deck of the vessel with guns and rocket propelled grenade launchers. The vessel continued threatening calls and subsequently fired upon INS Tabar.

“On being fired upon, INS Tabar retaliated in self defence and opened fire on the mother vessel. As a result, fire broke out on the pirate vessel and explosions were heard, possibly due to exploding ammunition that was stored on the vessel,” Sinha said. Amidst all the action, two speedboats broke off to escape.

“INS Tabar chased the first boat which was later found abandoned. The other boat made good its escape into darkness,” Sinha added.
The Indian warship, the INS Tabar, was dispatched to the Gulf of Aden in October after a spike in piracy and hijackings off the coast of Somalia, which is caught up in an Islamic insurgency and has had no functioning government since 1991.

Somali pirates seize tanker carrying oil worth $100m

Capture of huge Saudi ship hundreds of miles out to sea demonstrates that gangs have resources and audacity to disrupt one of world's busiest shipping lanes

Somali pirates yesterday seized a Saudi supertanker carrying up to 2m barrels of oil worth around $100m in an audacious attack several hundred miles out to sea. Two Britons are among the 25 crew of the Sirius Star, which was captured 450 miles south-east of the Kenyan port of Mombasa. The US navy, which has been tracking the ship, said last night it was close to anchoring in the notorious pirate haven of Eyl on Somalia's north-eastern coast.

"Both the size of the vessel and the distance from the coast where the hijackers struck is unprecedented," said Commander Jane Campbell, a spokeswoman for the US Fifth Fleet, based in Bahrain. "It shows how quickly the pirates are adapting."

Another spokesman, Lieutenant Nate Christensen, said: "We don't know the condition of the crew on board or the nature of the pirates' demands. In cases like this what we typically see is a demand for money from the ship owners but we haven't had that yet. We don't know exactly where they are taking it but we know the town of Eyl is a pirate stronghold." Eyl is in the northern Puntland region of Somalia and has become notorious for pirate activity.

Nato and other international warships have increased patrols around northern Somalia to try to deter the heavily armed Somali pirate gangs who have seriously disrupted one of the world busiest shipping lanes. The pirates are holding about a dozen vessels hostage and more than 200 foreign crew. They are believed to have already netted more than £20m in ransoms this year.

Most of the captured ships were attacked in the Gulf of Aden, which connects the Red Sea to the Arabian Sea. But the seizure of the Sirius Star, a new ship more than 300 metres long and weighing three times as much as a typical aircraft carrier, took place in unpatrolled waters hundreds of miles south of Somalia, at a latitude intersecting with Tanzania.

Owned by Saudi Aramco, the state-run oil company, the ship was on course to sail around the Cape of Good Hope to the US when it was seized on Saturday. The oil on board represents more than a quarter of Saudi Arabia's daily output. News of the hijacking caused the price of oil to jump by more than a dollar a barrel.

The US navy would not comment on a possible rescue operation, saying only that it was evaluating the situation.

A spokesman for the Royal Navy said he could not say whether British servicemen were involved in any attempts to rescue the vessel. "It is our policy not to discuss operational matters," he said.

The Foreign Office confirmed that two Britons were on board the ship. The other seamen are from Croatia, Poland, Saudi Arabia and the Philippines. The pirates seldom harm crew members as they wait for ransoms to be paid. Full News : http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/nov/18/piracy
