Mansuh SOSMA Buka Ruang Jenayah Ekstremis Terancang

(UTUSAN) – KUALA LUMPUR 24 Julai – Provokasi perkauman dan jenayah ekstremis terancang akan bermaharajalela sekiranya Akta Kesalahan Keselamatan (Langkah-langkah Khas) 2012 (SOSMA) dimansuhkan.

Bekas Ketua Polis Negara, Tan Sri Musa Hassan berkata, SOSMA adalah satu akta yang adil dan mengikut undang-undang negara.­

“SOSMA hanya boleh menahan seseorang selama 28 hari sahaja sebelum dibawa ke mahkamah untuk pertuduhan dan jika didapati tidak bersalah, tahanan boleh dilepaskan.

“Sebelum ini kita sudah mansuhkan Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA) dan kali ini SOSMA pula ingin dimansuhkan. Undang-undang lembut macam mana lagi yang kita mahu laksana­kan?” katanya kepada Utusan Malaysia di sini hari ini.

Sebelum ini, Perdana Menteri, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad berkata kerajaan akan memansuhkan SOSMA yang dilihat tidak telus bagi memberi keadilan kepada semua rakyat.

Jelas Dr. Mahathir, rakyat berhak untuk dilindungi oleh undang-undang yang adil dan bukannya bersifat zalim kepada rakyat seperti dilaksanakan kerajaan terdahulu.

Menurut Musa, mereka yang ditahan di bawah SOSMA me­lakukan jenayah yang besar se­perti penyeludupan manusia dan aktiviti keganasan jenayah terancang.

“Sekarang ini semakin ramai­ anggota kumpulan militan Daesh ditangkap dan itu adalah ancaman serta disiasat di bawah SOSMA. Sebab itu kena ada undang-undang yang tegas demi keamanan negara,” jelasnya.

Ujar beliau, perlu ada sebab khusus mengapa akta itu hendak dimansuhkan kerana tahanan diberi peluang untuk dibicarakan di mahkamah dan perkara itu adalah adil buat mereka.

Menurut beliau, negara kuasa besar seperti Amerika Syarikat juga memiliki undang-undang jauh lebih keras seperti Akta Patriot yang membolehkan seseorang itu ditahan di mana-mana sahaja di seluruh dunia.

My Highlights of 2017

With the arrival of the new year of 2018, I’m writing a post dedicated to 2017, listing out some of the things that happened around me in the previous year.

1. A surprise letter from Tun M, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia

On the 12th of January, I received a letter from Tun Dr. Mahathir, replying to my article,“Perjanjian DAP, PKR, PAN, PPBM Untuk Meminda Perkara 3(1)?” In the article, I did not even mention Tun M’s name but only commented about how the word ‘bebas’ in the agreement between DAP, PKR, PAN and Mahathir’s PPBM can undermine and violate the Article 3(1) of the Federal Constitution. So Tun M replied to my article came as a real surprise but unfortunately I am sad to say that not only Tun M’s explanation does not answer my question, but it also makes the matter more confusing because the fact that the Article 3(1) is the Article that explains about Islam as the religion of the Federation and it’s position over other religions in Malaysia and not about the rights to convert to other religions.

Malaysian PM Confirms Plane Debris Is From Flight MH370

PRIME MINISTER NAJIB RAZAK STATEMENT ON MH370
Utusan – On 8 March 2014, flight MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing disappeared. The days, weeks and months that followed have been a period of torment for the families of those on board.

The plane’s disappearance was without precedent. At every stage, we followed the tiny amount of evidence that existed. But, despite the efforts of 26 nations and the largest search in aviation history, from the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean, the plane could not be located.

Neither could investigations by the world’s leading aviation experts answer why MH370 veered off course and went dark. While the plane’s disappearance remained a mystery, we have shared the anguish of those who could find no comfort.

Last week, on 29th July, we were informed by the French authorities that part of an aircraft wing had been found on Reunion, the French island in the Indian Ocean.

Today, 515 days since the plane disappeared, it is with a heavy heart that I must tell you that an international team of experts have conclusively confirmed that the aircraft debris found on Reunion Island is indeed from MH370.

We now have physical evidence that, as I announced on 24th March last year, flight MH370 tragically ended in the southern Indian Ocean.

This is a remote, inhospitable and dangerous area, and on behalf of Malaysia I would like to thank the many nations, organisations and individuals who have participated in the search.

The burden and uncertainty faced by the families during this time has been unspeakable. It is my hope that this confirmation, however tragic and painful, will at least bring certainty to the families and loved ones of the 239 people on board MH370. They have our deepest sympathy and prayers.

I would like to assure all those affected by this tragedy that the government of Malaysia is committed to do everything within our means to find out the truth of what happened. MH370’s disappearance marked us as a nation. We mourn with you, as a nation.

And I promise you this: Malaysia will always remember and honour those who were lost onboard MH370.
