Sri Muda rep pleads not guilty to sedition charge

UPDATED @ 12:57:37 PM 07-02-2011

February 07, 2011

SHAH ALAM, Feb 7 — Selangor's Sri Muda assemblyman Shuhaimi Shafiei pleaded not guilty when he was charged with sedition in the Sessions Court here this morning.

He was charged over his statements on the state secretary impasse that were posted in his blog, www.srimuda.blogspot.com, on December 30 last year.

If convicted, Shuhaimi (picture), 42, faces a maximum jail term of three years, a fine of not more than RM5,000, or both under section 4(1) of the Sedition Act 1948.

The PKR central leadership council member was accused of committing the offence under section 4(1)(c) of the Sedition Act at his service centre in Kota Kemuning here.

He had opposed Datuk Mohd Khusrin Munawi’s contentious appointment on January 1 as the state secretary.

Last month, the Selangor Anti-Fraud Coalition (GAPS) and Malay rights group Perkasa lodged a police report against Shuhaimi for allegedly insulting the Selangor Sultan on his blog.

Shuhaimi, dressed in a white shirt and black suit, was calm as the charge was read out to him in the packed courtroom.

PKR deputy president Azmin Ali, Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar and Selangor executive councillors Dr Xavier Jayakumar and Yaakob Sapari were among those present in the courtroom.

Judge Latifah Mohd Tahar set bail at RM8,000 with one surety.

DPP Mohamad Hanafiah Zakaria had earlier urged the court to set bail at RM20,000, calling the offence “serious” as it allegedly involved sedition against the Selangor Sultan.

Shuhaimi’s lawyer Amer Hamzah Arshad, however, slammed the DPP’s suggestion as “oppressive”.

“If a RM20,000 bail is set for an offence that has a RM5,000 fine, it is beyond absurdity. It is injustice,” Amer told the court.

Shuhaimi’s other lawyer, Edmund Bon, had asked the court to set a personal bond instead of bail.

“If today, a bond is given, he doesn’t have to pay RM20,000,” said Bon.

“It is just his word that is security. As an assemblyperson, my client will not abscond,” he added.

Shuhaimi’s third lawyer, N. Surendran, said the lawmaker would file an application to strike out his sedition charge on grounds that the Sedition Act is unconstitutional.

“We will be filing it in the High Court here soon,” said Surendran.

Outside the courtroom, Surendran accused Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail of using the Sedition Act to attack the federal opposition.

“There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that the Sedition Act is abused by the A-G... to oppress those who speak out against the government,” Surendran told reporters.

“The office of the A-G must be reformed now. One man cannot have so much power,” said the human rights lawyer.

Surendran also demanded for the abolition of the Sedition Act.

“If the government says we are a free country, abolish the Sedition Act. Drop the charges against Shuhaimi,” said the PKR vice-president.

Amer said the Sedition Act was unnecessary as the federal constitution guaranteed freedom of expression.

“This charge is a political charge,” Amer told reporters outside the courtroom.

Besides Amer, Surendran and Bon, Shuhaimi’s other lawyers are Latheefa Koya, Yusmadi Yusoff, Fahri Azzat, and Nizam Bashir.

The court set March 28 for mention of the case.

Please exercise editorial accuracy and provide the direct weblink to the blog post concerned.

This is journalistic ethics, so that readers can judge for themselves whether as in this case the ADUN has committed any wrongs or not.

Otherwise, we are simply tainting his name.

Dear readers, the blog article concerned can be found here:

Please read and judge whether what is said there is sedition.

From what I read, there is absolutely nothing impolite or seditious in it.

Thank you.

His statement has agitated a lot of people especially the Malays. A matter concerning the Sultanate Institution is a sensitive issue for the Malays, but yet PKR leaders still choose not to respect this.

Strict action should be taken on ADUN Sri Muda for his statement. It’s clear that he has no respect or what so ever for the Sultanate Institution.

jcliu 113p · 3 hours ago

After reading the article, I feel Shuhaimi's analysis of the matter is upmost rational and nothing wrong and seditious. To the public this is simply persecution and oppression by the State. If the polis is fair and enthusiastic in carrying out justics, the former PM(spiritual leader of PERKASA) would be the one in jail because what he had uttered and done during the constitution crisis was far too much for ordinary people to comprehend.

Shuhaimi ketika tiba di pekarangan Mahkamah Sesyen Shah Alam sambil disambut beberapa pemimpin Pakatan

SHAH ALAM, 7 Feb - Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (Adun) Taman Sri Muda, Shuhaimi Shafie mengaku tidak bersalah atas tuduhan menghasut di Mahkamah Sesyen hari ini.

Shuhaimi didakwa di bawah Akta Hasutan 1948 berikutan tulisan dalam laman blognya yang kononnya menghina Sultan Selangor berhubung kontroversi pelantikan setiausaha kerajaan negeri Selangor 30 Disember lalu.

Shuhaimi didakwa menerusi artikel berjudul ‘Pandangan saya berasaskan Undang-Undang Tubuh Kerajaan Selangor 1959′.

Shuhaimi tiba di mahkamah kira-kira jam 9.30 pagi dan mengaku tidak bersalah sejurus selepas pertuduhan dibacakan kepadanya oleh jurubahasa mahkamah.

Jika sabit kesalahan ia membawa hukuman denda tidak melebihi RM5,000, atu penjara sehingga tiga tahun bagi kesalahan pertama.

Hakim Latifah Mohd Tahar membenarkan beliau diikat jamin sebanyak RM8,000 dengan seorang penjamin.

Shuhaimi diwakili tujuh peguam, diketuai peguam Hak asasi manusia terkenal Edmund Bon.

Peguam lain, termasuk Lateefa Koya, Yusmaidi Yusoff, N Surendran, Amer Hamzah, Fahri Azzat dan Nizam Bashir.

Manakala pihak pendakwaan pula dikendalikan Timbalan Pendakwa Raya, Mohamad Hanafiah Zakaria dan Ishak Mohd Yusof.

Mahkamah menetapkan kes itu akan disebut pada 28 Mac ini.

Turut hadir pada prosiding di hadapan Hakim Latifah Mohd Tahar ialah wakil rakyat Pakatan Rakyat (Pakatan), termasuk Azmin Ali, Nurul Izzah Anwar dan Yaakob Sapari.

Wakil rakyat penggal pertama itu dikenakan tuduhan di bawah Akta Hasutan 1948 berhubung kenyataannya menyentuh kemelut pelantikan setiausaha kerajaan negeri Selangor menerusi blognya pada 30 Disember lalu.

Jika sabit kesalahan, Shuhaimi, 42, berhadapan dengan hukuman penjara maksimum tiga tahun, denda tidak melebihi RM5,000 atau kedua-duanya sekali.

Kes itu akan disebut semula pada 28 Mac.

Beliau yang juga anggota Majlis Pimpinan Pusat PKR didakwa melakukan kesalahan tersebut di pusat khidmatnya di Kota Kemuning di sini dan kelihatan tenang ketika tuduhan dibacakan.

Turut hadir di bilik mahkamah yang sesak pagi tadi ialah Timbalan Presiden PKR Azmin Ali, Naib Presiden Nurul Izzah Anwar dan Exco Kerajaan Negeri Selangor Dr Xavier Jayakumar dan Yaakob Sapari.

Hakim Latifah Mohd Tahar menetapkan ikat jamin RM8,000 dengan seorang penjamin.

Terdahulu, timbalan pendakwa raya Mohamad Hanafiah Zakaria meminta mahkamah menetapkan RM20,000 sebagai wang ikat jamin atas alasan kesalahan didakwa dilakukan adalah serius membabitkan hasutan terhadap Sultan Selangor.

Bagaimanapun peguam Shuhaimi, Amer Hamzah Arshad membantahnya atas alasan permintaan itu bersifat menekan anak guamannya sedangkan hukuman denda yang diperuntukkan hanyalah RM5,000 di bawah Akta Hasutan.

Seorang lagi peguam Shuhaimi, Edmund Bon pula meminta mahkamah hanya mengenakan bon peribadi berbanding wang ikat jamin.

“Jika hari ini bon diberikan, beliau tidak perlu menyediakan RM20,000,” kata Bon lagi.

“Hanya kata-kata jaminannya dijadikan sekuriti. Sebagai seorang ADUN, anak guaman saya tidak akan melarikan diri,” katanya.

Peguam ketiga Shuhaimi, N. Surendran berkata wakil rakyat itu akan memfailkan petisyen untuk meminta tuduhan ke atasnya digugurkan atas alasan Akta Hasutan bercanggah dengan perlembagaan.

“Kami akan membuat permohonan di Mahkamah Tinggi dalam waktu terdekat,” kata Surendran.

Selain Amer, Surendran dan Bon, Shuhaimi juga diwakili oleh Latheefa Koya, Yusmadi Yusoff, Fahri Azzat dan Nizam Bashir.

Shuhaimi ditahan polis Khamis lalu untuk mendakwanya di Mahkamah Sesyen hari ini berhubung satu entri di dalam blognya yang didakwa telah menghina Sultan Selangor.

Shuhaimi yang juga Timbalan Ketua Cabang Parti Keadilan Rakyat Kota Raja mencetuskan kontroversi berikutan kenyataan di dalam blognya pada 30 Disember lalu yang didakwa telah mempertikai keputusan Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah memperkenan pelantikan Datuk Mohd Khusrin Munawi sebagai Setiausaha Kerajaan Negeri yang baru.

Beliau menafikan kenyataannya itu bertujuan untuk menghasut rakyat dan menghina Sultan.

Tuduhan terhadap Shuhaimi berunsur politik – peguam

07/02/2011 Share

SHAH ALAM, 7 Feb - Peguam Amer Hamzah Arshad, menyifatkan pertuduhan yang dikenakan ke atas anak guamannya Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (Adun) Sri Muda, Shuhaimi Shafie hanya berunsurkan politik semata-mata.

Dakwanya pendakwaan ini mendapat tekanan daripada pihak berkepentingan yang mahukan kes ini dibicarakan di mahkamah sedangkan jika dilihat ahli politik yang lain seperti Barisan Nasional(BN) juga pernah mengeluarkan kata-kata yang mempunyai elemen hasutan.

Amer Hamzah Arshad

“Pertuduhan ini tidak perlu dibawa langsung kerana pertuduhan terhadap Shuhaimi, tidak lain tidak bukan adalah satu pertuduhan yang berunsurkan politik kerana banyak tekanan-tekanan daripada pihak tertentu yang telah menyebabkan pertuduhan dan pendakwaan di mahkamah hari ini,” katanya.

Amer juga turut membantah denda yang dikenakan ke atas Shuhaimi bersifat menekan anak guamannya sedangkan hukuman denda yang diperuntukkan hanyalah RM5,000 di bawah Akta Hasutan.
“Jadi kalau ikut dari segi logik kita bandingkan denda maksimum yang boleh dikenakan mahkamah hanyalah 5,000 ringgit tetapi jumlah jaminan yang ditawarkan 20,000 ringgit, bukan ke itu satu bentuk penindasan (oppressy) jadi ini menunjukkan ada unsur pendakwaan yang berunsurkan politik,” katanya lagi.

Terdahulu, Timbalan Pendakwa Raya, Mohamad Hanafiah Zakaria meminta mahkamah menetapkan RM20,000 sebagai wang ikat jamin atas alasan kesalahan didakwa dilakukan adalah serius membabitkan hasutan terhadap Sultan Selangor.

N Surendran

Dalam pada itu, seorang lagi peguam yang mewakili Shuhaimi, N Surendran, menggesa kerajaan menghapuskan Akta Hasutan, yang kini tidak lagi relevan dalam sebuah negara yang mengamalkan prinsip demokrasi.

“Akta Hasutan tidak mempunyai tempat di dalam negara yang demokrasi dan bebas jika kerajaan setiap kali menyatakan bahawa ini negara bebas dan kerajaan menghormati proses demokrasi dan sebagainya, jika benar mansuhkan akta hasutan dengan segera, buktikan kepada rakyat bahawa kerajaan negara ini benar-benar menghormati demokrasi, kerana sekarang jelas menunjukkan kerajaan bersama peguam negara tidak menghormati demokrasi,” kata N Surendran ketika pemberita.

Surendran juga menganggap dengan adanya Akta Hasutan ini telah menyekat kebebasan seseorang untuk bersuara, lebih-lebih lagi kenyataan yang berbaur menentang kerajaan.

Pagi tadi, Shuhaimi didakwa di bawah Akta Hasutan 1948 berhubung kenyataannya menyentuh kemelut pelantikan setiausaha kerajaan negeri Selangor menerusi blognya pada 30 Disember lalu.

Beliau juga didakwa mempersoalkan kuasa Sultan Selangor dalam blog pada 30 Disember tahun lalu melalui artikel berjudul, ‘Pandangan saya berasaskan Undang-Undang Tubuh Kerajaan Selangor 1959′.

Bagaimanapun beliau mengaku tidak bersalah atas tuduhan hasutan yang didakwa ke atasnya dan mahkamah menetapkan kes itu akan disebut pada 28 Mac ini

Hapus Akta Hasutan

Kerajaan Malaysia didesak memperbaharui sistem perundangan negara dengan menghapuskan Akta Hasutan peninggalan penjajah kerana ternyata tidak memberikan keadilan kepada rakyat negara ini.

Salah seorang peguam yang dilantik mewakili Adun Seri Muda, Shuhaimi Shafiei, peguam N Surendran berkata, sudah sampai masanya undang-undang negara ini digubal semula untuk menjamin hak setiap rakyat untuk bersuara.

Surendran berkata demikian sebaik sahaja keluar dari ruang bicara di Mahkamah Sesyen Shah Alam, dekat sini pagi tadi selepas Shuhaimi didakwa di bawah Akta Hasutan mengikut Seksyen 4 (1) berikutan siaran pandangan peribadinya di blog beliau pada 31 Disember lepas.

Dalam pada itu, Shuhaimi dalam kenyataan kepada Harakahdaily ketika menanti wang jaminan disiapkan menyatakan, rupanya akta ciptaan penjajah British masih 'mulia' walaupun negara merdeka sudah 53 tahun.

Seri Muda Adun, YB.Shuhaimi charged with sedition....

Sri Muda state assemblyperson Shuhaimi Shafiei was today charged in the Shah Alam Sessions Court for allegedly posting a seditious article on his blog.

The blog post on Dec 30 last year allegedly questioned the powers of the Selangor sultan, in an article entitled 'Pandangan saya berasaskan Undang-Undang Tubuh Kerajaan Selangor 1959'.

The charge is framed under Section 4(1)(c) of the Sedition Act, which covers the publishing an article that is deemed seditious. If found guilty,Shuhaimi faces a maximum fine of RM5,000 or jail not exceeding three years for a first offence. Judge Latifah Mohd Tahar set bail at RM8,000 in one surety and fixed the case for mention on March 28.

A defence team of seven, led by prominent human rights lawyer Edmund Bon, is representing Shuhaimi. The others are Lateefa Koya, Yusmadi Yusoff, N Surendran, Amer Hamzah, Fahri Azzat and Nizam Bashir. DPPS Mohamad Hanafiah Zakaria and Ishak Mohd Yusof appeared for the prosecution.

Case 'politically motivated'

Speaking to journalists outside the courtroom, Amer said the charge against Shuhaimi is clearly politically motivated. He said the defence will file an application at the High Court to strike out this case within a month. Amer also questioned the quantum of bail, saying that it was unfair to impose a bail amount that is higher than the penalty for the offence. "The bail amount has to be logical. The penalty is RM5,000 but bail is set at RM8,000... Isn't that oppression?" he asked.

Surendran added that the case against Shuhaimi is a clear example of the BN government's abuse of power through the Attorney-General's (AG) Chambers to weed out dissent. "Everytime the AG files a charge under the Sedition Act, it is always against the opposition, activists and anyone who questions the government. "The democratic process is being undermined by a single man who wields so much power.

"One thing that we learn from this is that the office of the AG must be reformed because one man cannot have so much power to bring charges against anyone." Surendran suggested that a new system, such as a grand jury indictment system, should be used to counter the AG's far-reaching powers and further, that the government should repeal the Sedition Act.

At least 20 police reports were lodged against Shuhaimi in the aftermath of his blog post, with conservative Malay rights group Perkasa and anti-Pakatan Selangor government movement Gaps demanding that he be hanged for inciting "war on the Malay rulers".

Shuhaimi went under the radar for several weeks following the furore, before finally emerging on Jan 12 to give his statement to the police. He also put it on record in the Selangor state assembly last week that he was not referring to the sultan in his blog post - rather, he was training his guns on Putrajaya's 'lackeys', who he claimed are ever ready to please their political masters at the expense of the people.

Kit Siang tells Najib to heed Egypt, free Shuhaimi

By Yow Hong Chieh

February 05, 2011

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 5 — Lim Kit Siang has told Datuk Seri Najib Razak to heed the Egyptian crisis and withdraw the sedition charge against Sri Muda assemblyman Shuhaimi Shafie.

Lim urged the prime minister to take this “tiny step” in order to prove his administration had the political will to “wind down” and eventually end political repression.

“If the Najib administration is to learn from the lesson of the Egyptian crisis, there are many things it would have to do — but let it start with the tiny step of withdrawing the sedition charge against Shuhaimi on Monday,” Lim (picture) said in a statement today.

He said Shuhaimi’s sedition charge was the latest reminder that the Attorney-General’s Chambers served Barisan Nasional (BN) and not the people.

The Ipoh Timur MP accused the A-G’s Chambers of being “very quick on the draw” to respond to police reports of sedition lodged against Pakatan Rakyat (PR) leaders while ignoring similar reports against BN politicians.

“For too long, the administration of justice, whether the judiciary or the Attorney-General’s Chambers, has suffered under a cloud that they are not independent or professional but have to do the political bidding of the powers-that-be,” he said.

Lim added that Najib should give top priority to restoring public confidence in key national institutions like Parliament, the judiciary, Attorney-General’s Chambers, police, Election Commission (EC) and Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

Shuhaimi was arrested on Thursday and informed that he will be charged on Monday under section 4(1)C of the Sedition Act 1948 over statements regarding the state secretary impasse posted in his blog recently.

The Selangor assemblyman had openly opposed the appointment of Datuk Mohd Khusrin Munawi as Selangor state secretary.

He, along with 33 other PR assemblymen, recently voted in favour of the amendment to Article 52(1) of the state constitution while the 20 Barisan Nasional (BN) representatives opposed it to allow the Sultan — under the mentri besar’s counsel — to appoint the state secretary, legal adviser and financial officer instead of the federally-controlled Public Service Commission.

The coalition failed to amend the state constitution as it needed 38 votes to pass the amendment.

The issue first came to light when the state opposed Khusrin’s appointment as state secretary, arguing that the mentri besar was not informed of the appointment and it was thus invalid.

Shuhaimi has been subjected to intense attacks by Umno and its mouthpiece Utusan Malaysia, which has accused him of insulting the royal institution after he blogged his comments on December 30 about the state secretary crisis.

Utusan Malaysia published a front-page story with the headline “Shuhaimi derhaka (Shuhaimi committed treason)” on January 3.

The Malay-language paper quoted Selangor Umno as saying that Shuhaimi should be detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) for allegedly inciting hatred against the royal institution.

Last month, the Selangor Anti-Fraud Coalition (GAPS) and Malay rights group Perkasa lodged a police report against Shuhaimi for allegedly insulting the Selangor Sultan on his website.

Perkasa also called for Shuhaimi to be charged under the Sedition Act.

PKR has however maintained that Shuhaimi was being “harassed” by the police over the matter.

Krisis Mesir: Najib digesa tunjuk bukti, tidak dakwa ADUN Sri Muda

February 05, 2011

KUALA LUMPUR, 5 Feb — Datuk Seri Najib Razak sewajarnya tidak mengenakan tuduhan hasutan ke atas ADUN Sri Muda Shuhaimi Shafie Isnin ini jika pentadbirannya benar-benar mengutamakan kepentingan rakyat dan belajar daripada krisis Mesir, kata pemimpin veteran DAP Lim Kit Siang.

“Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib memberikan rakyat Malaysia jaminan bahawa pentadbirannya akan sentiasa meletakkan kepentingan rakyat terlebih dahulu, dengan merujuk kepada perkembangan di Mesir sebagai pengajaran.

“Beliau berkata dalam sistem demokrasi kita harus memberi keutamaan kepada rakyat, yang diperkayakan menerusi proses globalisasi dan ICT,” kata penasihat DAP ini dalam satu kenyataan dikeluarkan hari ini.

Katanya, Najib yang juga presiden Umno dan Menteri Kewangan seharusnya membuktikan pentadbirannya cukup berupaya untuk belajar daripada krisis Mesir dengan mengetepikan penindasan politik di negara ini.

“... ini boleh dilakukan dengan menarik balik tuduhan hasutan ke atas Shuhaimi, yang akan dikenakan dakwaan Isnin ini,” kata beliau lagi.

Lim (gambar) berkata satu pengajaran penting Najib harus belajar daripada krisis Mesir ialah memberi keutamaaan ke atas usaha memulihkan keyakinan rakyat terhadap keberkesanan, bebas, berkecuali dan profesionalisme institusi-institusi utama negara ini.

Katanya, tindakan ke atas Shuhaimi adalah gambaran terbaru Jabatan Peguam Negara terus bertindak sebagai alat politik Putrajaya, bukannya demi kepentingan jangka panjang rakyat Malaysia.

“Peguam Negara terbukti bertindak cepat dalam aduan polis yang dibuat terhadap pemimpin-pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat seperti dalam kes Karpal Singh yang dibebaskan Jun lalu tetapi masih berhadapan dengan rayuan Jabatan Peguam Negara tetapi tidak mempedulikan laporan ke atas personaliti-personaliti BN,” kata Lim.

Oleh itu kata beliau, jika pentadbiran Najib mahu belajar daripada krisis Mesir ada banyak perkara yang perlu dilakukan oleh pihaknya.

“Tetapi biar ia bermula dengan menarik balik tuduhan hasutan ke atas Shuhaimi bagi membuktikan pentadbirannya mahu belajar daripada krisis Mesir,” kata ahli Parlimen ini.

Semalam, kerajaan negeri Selangor berkata pihaknya kesal dengan tindakan pihak berkuasa yang memutuskan untuk mengenakan tuduhan di bawah Akta Hasutan ke atas Shuhaimi.

Shuhaimi akan menghadapi pertuduhan di Mahkamah Sesyen Shah Alam berhubung satu entri dalam blognya yang didakwa telah menghina Sultan Selangor.

Shuhaimi yang juga Timbalan Ketua PKR cabang Kota Raja mencetuskan kontroversi berikutan kenyataan dalam blognya pada 30 Disember lalu yang didakwa telah mempertikai keputusan Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah memperkenan pelantikan Datuk Mohd Khusrin Munawi sebagai Setiausaha Kerajaan Negeri yang baru.

Beliau menafikan kenyataannya itu bertujuan untuk menghasut rakyat dan menghina Sultan.

Kenyataan Pejabat Menteri Besar itu berkata, kerajaan negeri akan memberi sokongan penuh kepada Suhaimi dalam menghadapi kes tersebut.

Withdraw sedition charge against Shuhaimi – first step to demonstrate Najib can learn from the lesson of Egyptian crisis

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has assured Malaysians that his administration will always put the interests of the people first, saying that the events of Egypt are a lesson for all.

He said in a democratic system “we must give priority to the people” who are empowered through globalization and ICT (information and communication technology).

Najib should show that his administration is capable of learning from the lesson of the Egyptian crisis by winding down and ending political repression in the country, starting with the withdrawal of the sedition charge against Selangor PKR Assemblyman for Sri Muda Shuhaimi Shafie, who is slated to be charged in the Shah Alam Sessions Court on Monday.

One important lesson for Najib from the Egyptian crisis is the top priority he must give to restore public confidence in the efficiency, independence, impartiality and professionalism of the key national institutions in the country, in particular Parliament, the judiciary, the public service in particular the Attorney-General’s Chambers, Police, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, the Election Commission etc.

For too long, the administration of justice whether judiciary or the the Attorney-General’s Chambers have suffered under a cloud that they are not independent or professional but have to do the political bidding of the powers-that-be, and the sedition charge against Shuhaimi is the latest reminder that the Attorney-General’s office has continued to serve the political interests of masters in Putrajaya rather than the larger and longer-term interests of Malaysians at large.

The Attorney-General had proven to be very quick on-the-draw to respond to police reports of sedition lodged against Pakatan Rakyat leaders – like the case of DAP National Chairman and MP for Bukit Glugor Karpal Singh who had been acquitted last June on the charge of allegedly uttering seditious words against the Sultan of Perak but still facing an appeal to the Court of Appeal by the AG’s Chambers – while ignoring heaps of police reports of sedition against Barisan Nasional personalities.

If the Najib administration is to learn from the lesson of the Egyptian crisis, there are many things it would have to do – but let it start with the tiny step of withdrawing the sedition charge against Shuhaimi on Monday to demonstrate that the Najib administration has the political will to walk the talk of learning the lesson from the Egyptian crisis!

SRI MUDA - Seperti yang telah dijangkakan dari awal lagi oleh seluruh rakyat di Malaysia rentetan dari atikel yang dikaitkan dengan YB Shuhaimi yang terdapat dilaman blog ini kini terbukti dan nyata.Musuh Politik yang irihati dan sakit hati di atas tadbir urus yang cukup baik oleh Kerajaan Negeri Selangor Pimpinan Pakatan Rakyat akhirnya mengunakan segala senjata untuk mengugat kestabilan politik di Negeri Selangor.YB Shuhaimi Hj Shafiei yang diserang dengan pelbagai tomahan serta fitnah oleh juak - juak yang tidak bermaruah akhirnya diheret ke Mahkahmah demi untuk memenuhi agenda politik kotor parti lawan.

Seluruh Rakyat di alu - alukan untuk turun beramai - ramai ke Mahkahmah Seksyen Shah Alam pada hari Isnin 7hb Januari 2011 jam 9.00pagi untuk menyatakan sokongan yang tidak berbelah bahagi kepada YB Shuhaimi Hj Shafiei serta kepada Kerajaan Negeri Selangor Pimpinan Pakatan Rakyat ( PR ) dan menjelaskan kepada pihak pemerintah Pusat ( BN ) bahawa Rakyat kini sudah jelak dan muak dengan tektik kotor mereka yang menghalalkan apa juga cara untuk terus berkuasa biarpun berterusan menindas rakyat.

AYUH SELURUH RAKYAT MALAYSIA KITA HADIR BERAMAI - RAMAI KE MAHKAHMAH SEKSYEN SHAH ALAM PADA HARI ISNIN JAM 9.00pagi TANDA SOKONGAN YANG TIDAK BERBELAH BAHAGI KEPADA KERAJAAN PAKATAN RAKYAT DI NEGERI SELANGOR.

HIDUP.HIDUP,...HIDUP RAKYAT
REFORMASI,REFORMASI,REFORMASI....

YB SHUHAIMI HJ SHAFIEI TETAP MENERUSKAN RUTIN TUGASAN HARIANNYA SEPERTI BIASA DEMI PENGUNDI DAN RAKYAT YANG DIWAKILINYA.

SRI MUDA - Siasatan dan tekanan yang berterusan yang dilakukan oleh pelbagai pihak tidak sedikit pun melunturkan semangat YB Shuhaimi untuk terus menjalankan tugasan seharian beliau sebagai wakil rakyat di kawasan Dun Sri Muda.YB Shuhaimi masih dapat di lihat menghadirkan diri ke majlis-majlis rasmi dan tidak rasmi sekitar dun sri muda serta dimana jua lokasi tanpa ada memperlihatkan walau sedikit pun rasa tertekan dengan situasi ketika ini.

Baru - baru ini Yb Shuhaimi telah hadir untuk menziarah seorang warga emas yang telah meninggal dunia di Dun Sri Muda dengan meluangkan masa hampir satu jam dan turut serta bersama - sama orang ramai menunaikan solat jenazah.Orang ramai yang hadir telah melahirkan rasa cukup terharu dan rasa gembira kerana YB Shuhaimi dapat meluangkan masa dan bersama - sama menunaikan solat jenazah.Menurut kata orang ramai yang hadir jika hendak dibuat perbandingan antara YB Shuhaimi dengan wakil rakyat yang terdahulu amat jauh berbeza kerana wakil rakyat yang terdahulu bukan hanya sukar untuk dilihat hadir untuk menziarahi sekiranya ada kematian namun akan tetapi untuk dilihat menunaikan solat di surau atau masjid sekitar Dun Sri Muda pun sukar.

Protes Di Mesir Memuncak...BBC

Rakyat Mesir kembali berkumpul untuk di Kaherah sebagai usaha meningkatkan tekanan untuk menurunkan Presiden Hosni Mubarak dari kerusi kekuasaan.

Jutaan rakyat di seluruh Mesir berhimpun secara besar-besaran bagi menuntut Presiden Hosni Mubarak berundur selepas hampir 30 tahun berada di puncak kuasa. Pakatan pembangkang bertegas bahawa Hosni telah kehilangan kuasa dan mesti berundur. Pusat perhimpunan aman itu ialah di Dataran Tahrir, Kaherah dalam usaha mereka mengadakan perhimpunan sejuta rakyat pada Isnin

Pihak pengelola protes berharap sekitar satu juta orang yang turun ke jalan-jalan, yang akan menjadi protes terbesar sejauh ini. Keadaan serupa juga direncanakan di Iskandariah.

Sementara itu pihak tentera Mesir berjanji tidak akan menggunakan kekerasan terhadap para penunjuk perasaan.

Wartawan BBC, Lyse Doucet, di Lapangan Tahrir, Kairo mengatakan rakyat massa yang hadir lebih besar dari hari-hari sebelumnya.

Pernyatan tentera menjadi pukulan besar bagi Presiden Mubarak dan tampaknya membuat para penunjuk perasaan tetap semangat dan memenuhi pusat ibukota Kaherah.

"Kami di sini untuk menyampaikan satu pernyataan. Kami tidak akan pergi sampai Mubarak mundur," kata Tarek Shalabi, seorang pengujuk rasa, kepada BBC.

Sejumlah pengunjuk rasa bermalam di Lapangan Tahrir sejak Isnin dengan mengatakan akan tetap berada di sana sampai Mubarak mundur.

Sementara itu, keadaan keselamatan di Mesir ketika ini semakin membimbangkan berikutan kejadian kecurian dan jenayah yang turut melibatkan pelajar Malaysia.

Berdasarkan maklumat terkini, sebuah rumah pelajar perubatan Universiti Mansurah di Iskandariah dipecah masuk oleh penjenayah yang mengambil kesempatan ekoran kekalutan di negara itu ketika ini.

Bagaimanapun Timbalan Setiausaha pelajar Perubatan Cawangan Mansurah (PCM), Nik Nur Fariha Mohamed Zalami berkata, tiada sebarang kecederaan atau kemalangan berlaku dalam insiden berkenaan.

Menurut pelajar tahun empat Universiti Mansurah itu, keadaan di bandar utama Mesir iaitu Kaherah dan Iskandariah yang kini dipenuhi dengan ribuah penunjuk perasaan berada dalam keadaan luar kawalan dan membimbangkan.

PAS sebelum ini telah mendesak kerajaan Malaysia segera menyelamatkan pelajar dan warga Malaysia di Mesir dengan membawa pulang kesemua mereka ke tanah air, lapor harakahdaily.

Timbalan Presiden PAS, Nasharudin Mat Isa berkata, bantahan dan demonstrasi rakyat Mesir kini sudah tidak terkawal dan menyaksikan banyak pertumpahan darah telah berlaku.

Ianya sekaligus meletakkan keselamatan rakyat Malaysia dalam keadaan terancam.

"Saya minta supaya pihak Kementerian Luar Negeri menyediakan beberapa buah kapal terbang dan segera mengambil semua rakyat Malaysia yang dilaporkan berada dalam keadaan tidak selamat di Mesir.

"Tindakan evacuation ini telah dilakukan oleh banyak negara yang prihatin terhadap nasib rakyat di negara tersebut seperti Turki, Kanada, Greece dan Arab Saudi," katanya.

Angkatan Muda Parti Keadilan Rakyat berkata pihaknya kesal dengan kelembapan kerajaan khususnya Wisma Putra dalam memberi respons balas ekoran krisis politik di Mesir yang turut memberi kesan kepada rakyat Malaysia terutama pelajar.

Sehubungan itu, Ketua Angkatan Muda PKR Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin menggesa kerajaan menyegerakan bantuan makanan kepada para pelajar dan mengambil langkah-langkah lain yang sewajarnya.

Selain itu, beliau menggesa kerajaan membawa pulang pelajar dengan segera melalui penerbangan dibawa oleh Malaysia ataupun secara alternatif menggunakan kapal milik Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia (TLDM) atau kapal-kapal swasta boleh dimanfaatkan.

“Angkatan Muda yakin dan percaya bahawa rakyat Malaysia seluruhnya tidak mempunyai ruang untuk berkompromi dengan kelembapan tindakan yang berpotensi mengancam nyawa pelajar-pelajar Malaysia di sana,” katanya dalam satu kenyataan dikeluarkan.

Gesaan itu sebahagian daripada desakan pelbagai pihak agar Wisma Putra bertindak segera membantu pelajar-pelajar Malaysia di Mesir.

Pemuda Barisan Nasional juga memberikan gesaan sedemikian semalam.

Seramai 11,319 pelajar Malaysia didaftarkan secara rasmi menuntut di Mesir dalam pelbagai disiplin terutama dalam bidang perubatan dan agama.

Dalam jumlah ini lebih daripada 70 peratus pelajar terlibat dengan kawasan darurat terutama di Kaherah.

Indonesia telah menghantar pesawat Boeing 747-400 Garuda Indonesia ke Mesir untuk mengevakuasi para pelajar mereka.

Sedangkan kerajaan Malaysia masih terhegeh-hegeh dan terkial-kial untuk menimbang menggunakan kapal serba guna Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia (TLDM) yang sedang bertugas di Teluk Aden, Asia Barat untuk operasi pemindahan pelajar-pelajar Malaysia yang kini berada di Mesir.

Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak berkata, kapal terbabit akan diguna untuk memindahkan pelajar Malaysia di Mesir ke Jeddah, Arab Saudi, bagi membolehkan mereka menaiki penerbangan pulang ke Malaysia.

Beberapa orang keluarga pelajar yang bimbang mengenai keselamatan anak-anak mereka telah menghubungi GB sebentar tadi dan menyatakan kekesalannya dengan kelembapan kerajaan Malaysia bertindak.

"Diberitakan hanya pelajar perempuan akan dievakuasikan, itu pun menggunakan kapal TLDM," ujar seorang bapa kepada pelajar yang menuntut di Mesir.....

Bawa keluar segera ke negara berhampiran. Kos boleh di tanggung oleh keuntungan minyak yang naik harga lagi malam ini. Apakah itu pun tidak boleh di buat?

Remaja Bawah Umur Didakwa Sebabkan Kematian Jurutera

Oleh SALWA SHA’ARI

SHAH ALAM: Seorang remaja yang masih di bawah umur dihadapkan ke Mahkamah Majistret di sini pada Selasa, atas tuduhan menyebabkan kematian seorang jurutera yang mayatnya ditemui berikat dalam sebuah kebun getah.

Lelaki berusia 17 tahun lapan bulan itu mengaku tidak bersalah atas tuduhan melakukan kesalahan itu terhadap Victor Liew Shan Horng, 36, pada antara pukul 9 pagi dan 11.40 pagi, 25 Ogos lalu.

Kesalahan itu didakwa dilakukan bersama tiga lagi rakan subahat yang masih bebas di sebuah kebun getah berhampiran Jalan Kubur, Kampung Sungai Kandis, Seksyen 36, di sini.

Bagi kesalahan itu, dia didakwa mengikut Seksyen 304(a) Kanun Keseksaan yang memperuntukkan hukuman penjara maksimum 30 tahun dan boleh dikenakan denda, jika sabit bersalah.

Pesalah muda itu juga turut didakwa melakukan rompakan berkumpulan terhadap Victor pada pukul 9.05 pagi, 22 Ogos 2010 di Jalan Nagasari 36/1A, Jalan Desa Latamas, Seksyen 36.

Dia didakwa melarikan sebuah kereta Volvo, dua keping kad pengeluaran wang automatik dan wang tunai RM300 menjadikan jumlah kerugian RM8,000.

Jika sabit kesalahan mengikut Seksyen 395 Kanun Keseksaan, pesalah muda itu boleh dihukum penjara maksimum 20 tahun dan boleh disebat.

Pendakwaan dikendalikan oleh Timbalan Pendakwa Raya Zara Aina Mohd Zawawi manakala pesalah muda itu tidak diwakili peguam.

Majistret Zilfinaz Abbas menetapkan 22 Mac depan untuk sebutan semula kes.

Teen and three others charged with murder of engineer

2011/02/01

SHAH ALAM: A teenager was charged in the magistrate's court yesterday with robbing and murdering a 36-year-old engineer in August, last year.

The 17-year-old teenager was charged with three others, who are still at large, with the murder of Victor Liew Shan Horng.

He was alleged to have committed the offence at a rubber estate near Jalan Kubur in Section 36, here, on Aug 25, last year.

He was also charged with robbing Liew of his Volvo, RM300 and two ATM cards on Aug 22.

He pleaded not guilty to both charges.

Magistrate Zilfinaz Abbas did not allow bail following a request by deputy public prosecutor Zara Aina Mohd Zawawi, who said the offences committed were serious. The case was fixed for mention on March 22.

The teenager was arrested on Dec 23 last year. It was reported earlier that Liew, an engineer, was found dead on Aug 24, tied to a rubber tree in Sungai Kandis, here.

He had wounds on his hands and body and was found by a rubber tapper three days after he went missing.

Liew was reported missing by his wife, Sheng Mei Ying, 39, when he failed to return home from a fishing trip.

The family later discovered that there had been four withdrawals, totalling RM6,000, from his bank account.

Police later found Liew's car in an isolated area at the end of the newly-opened Kota Kemuning-Shah Alam Highway.

Sheng had also sought the help of Sri Muda assemblyman Shuhaimi Shafie to locate her husband.

It was reported that a witness had told Shuhaimi and the police that he was fishing at a lake in Alam Impian, here, and Liew was spotted on the opposite side of the lake.
