ICERD ATAU ICURI?
Tamrin Tun Ghafar

( 1 - 31 )
1. Saya amat tertarik dengan lakaran - lakaran kartun Zunar dan beberapa kartunis lain dengan tajuk dan motif kelakar tapi penuh dengan mesej dan pesanan.
2. Jika lakaran seperti yang dilampirkan ini dilukis semasa zaman Najib memerintah dahulu sudah pasti bukan sahaja lakaran tersebut dirampas dan dimusnahkan, malah pelukisnya akan dipenjarakan.
3. Sebagai contoh Zunar bukan sahaja pernah dikasari tapi pejabat beliau digeledah; 9 tajuk buku karyanya beserta ribuan buah jilidnya turut dirampas.
4. Tidak cukup dengan itu , beliau juga pernah dilokapkan sebanyak 5 kali , dan dikenakan 9 pertuduhan dibawah beberapa Akta dan Undang - Undang seperti Akta Hasutan, Akta Multimedia, Penal Code , Undang - Undang Immigration dan beberapa undang - undang lain . Jika sabit kesalahan beliau boleh dipenjarakan selama 45 tahun.
5. Itulah demokrasi dan kebebasan bersuara ala Najib yang dilaung - laungkan di pentas antarabangsa tetapi di dalam negara sesiapa sahaja yang menentang beliau akan ditangkap dan dihadapkan ke mahkamah.
6. Saya sendiri pernah bermalam di lokap polis Jinjang Kuala Lumpur bersama Tian Chua ( mantan MP Batu ) , Hishamuddin Rais , Adam Adli , Haris Ibrahim dan beberapa orang rakan lain.
7. Kesalahan kami ialah kerana menuduh UMNO/BN menipu dalam PRU 13 dahulu, justeru kami dituduh dibawah Akta Hasutan.
8. Selepas 5 tahun dan selepas rakyat menumbangkan Kerajaan UMNO/BN barulah kes kami selesai.
9. Polis dibawah Khalid Bakar, Apandi Ali , Peguam Negara dan Dzulkifli Ahmad , KP SPRM adalah ulat dan alat Najib dan Rosmah ketika itu; kerja mereka ialah menangkap siapa saja yang dilihat menentang Najib.
10. Mereka mewah dan bermaharajalela.
11. Boleh dibayangkan apakah tindakan Najib dan Rosmah terhadap Zunar dan kartunis lain termasuk mereka yang tidak sebulu dengannya; yang mewah ialah pemakan - pemakan dedak - CASH IS KING.
12. Walaupun dibenci dan dizalimi namun masyarakat antarabangsa amat kagum dengan lakaran - lakaran beliau.
13. Zunar telah dihormati dengan beberapa anugerah berprestij seperti :
a. Courage In Editorial Cartooning Award - 2012.
b. International Press Foundation Award, New York - 2015.
c. Cartooning For Peace Award - 2016 , Geneva - oleh Kofi Annan, mantan Setiausaha Agong Pertubohan Bangsa Bangsa Bersatu atau United Nation dan beberapa penghormatan lain.
14. Di satu segi Najib telah berjaya memperdaya dan menipu masyarakat antarabangsa dengan slogan ‘Freedom of Speech’ atau Kebebasan Bersuara, dasar ‘Moderation’ atau Kesederhanaan dan amalan Demokrasi tulin yang kononnya menjadi pegangan Kerajaannya sedangkan apa yang dilakukan terhadap musuh - musuh politiknya lain sekali.
15. Sebagai contoh kekerasan dilakukan terhadap perhimpunan BERSIH yang mendesak setiap Pilihanraya mestilah bersih dari sebarang kecurigaan dan salahlaku, dan dalam masa yang sama DBKL tidak membenarkan rakyat berhimpun di padang Dataran Merdeka.
16. Ramai pemimpin BERSIH dipukul, diheret dan dihumbankan ke dalam trak polis.
17. Perkara yang sama berlaku terhadap penuntut - penuntut universiti yang berhimpun mendesak GST dihapuskan.
18. Itulah cara Najib dan Kerajaan UMNO /BN memerintah.
19. Perbezaan begitu ketara sekali apabila Kerajaan PH yang dipimpin oleh Tun Dr. Mahathir selaku Perdana Menteri tidak teragak - agak membenarkan rakyat berhimpun pada 08/12/18 dengan syarat mereka mesti menghormati Perlembagaan dan undang - undang.
20. Tidakkah Zahid selaku Presiden UMNO dan Pengerusi BN yang pernah melakukan apa saja yang boleh bagi menggagalkan segala apa yang hendak dilakukan oleh pembangkang ketika itu sedar dan merasa malu dengan kelulusan yang diberi bagi memudahkan Perhimpunan pada 8hb Disember nanti?
21. Perhimpunan kali ini agak unik sedikit kerana buat pertama kalinya UMNO dan PAS akan bersama seperti pasangan pengantin tua yang hampir senja.
22. Bagi menjaga air muka masing-masing, Zahid dan Hadi terpaksa meneruskan Perhimpunan pada 8hb Disember ini bagi membantah ICERD sedangkan Kerajaan sendiri telah mengumumkan secara rasmi bahawa kerajaan TIDAK AKAN menandatangi deklarasi tersebut.
23. Oleh kerana berbagai publisiti telah dibuat begitu juga ribuan wang ringgit telah dibelanjakan maka Perhimpunan ini suka tak suka terpaksa diteruskan dengan alasan - alasan yang remeh.
24. Saya dan ramai lagi akan sama - sama turun padang jika sekiranya Perhimpunan itu diadakan bagi menuntut dari Najib dan keluarganya memulangkan semula duit rakyat yang disamun mereka melalui 1MDB.
25. Begitu juga beratus juta ringgit lesap daripada Tabung Haji yang mana 7 juta orang Islam terutama makcik dan pakcik di kampung menabung di Lembaga itu bagi memudahkan mereka ke Mekah.
26. Timbalan Presiden PAS, Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man memaklumkan Perhimpunan itu akan diadakan bagi melakukan doa dan solat kesyukuran kerana Kerajaan tidak akan menandatangani ICERD.
27. Hadi pula dengan alasan hendak mengajar Menteri - Menteri yang tidak menghormati Perdana Menteri.
28. Zahid dan beberapa ahli UMNO pula mahu memprotes ICERD.
29. Dengan berbagai alasan diberikan mereka, ini semua membuktikan mereka ini bodoh sombong yang tak boleh diajar.
30. Kan lebih bermakna jika mereka gunakan Perhimpunan ini menuntut Najib , Rosmah dan Jho Low memulangkan kembali harta rakyat yang mereka rompak dari senyap seribu bahasa dan berpeluk tubuh tidak bersuara.
31. Yang akan berkumandang di udara ialah laungan ' Takbir' dan ‘Hidup Najib’ bukannya 'Najib , pulangkan duit kami'.
Terima kasih.
TEOH BENG HOCK’S CUSTODIAL DEATH and RACIAL ABUSE & DISCRIMINATION BY THE MALAYSIAN TATMADAW
ReplyDeleteThe reported outright rejection of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) by a member of the administration of the Federal Government, a senior leader of a Pakatan Harapan component party, lends to serious repercussions for Malaysia.
In the just concluded 2018 Malaysian General Elections, running a campaign based on the principles of freedom, truth, social and economic justice etc. espoused in its Manifesto and Harapan’s Book of Hope, the Pakatan Harapan coalition and the Sabah Heritage Party (WARISAN) convincingly cumulatively won 121 parliamentary seats through 48.31% of the votes cast, representing 5,781,600 of the popular vote.
A factual digression is indeed needed to harp on the much valued principle of social justice as proclaimed in the Harapan Manifesto.
As clearly stated in the judicial decisions of 3 eminent appellate judges in the Court of Appeal in Teoh Meng Kee v PP (2014) 5 MLJ 741, the custodial death of Teoh Beng Hock was a result of homicidal assault as supported by expert evidence which was sufficient to attract some level of criminal liability against the MACC officers who were involved.
Section 6(3) of Act 694 (the MACC Act) stipulates that all officers and junior officers of the Commission shall be members of the general public service of the Federation. Hence, all officers and junior officers of MACC are general public servants of the Federation of Malaysia and thus, must be considered as de jure and de facto members of a state organ under international law.
The illustrious 2014 Court of Appeal decision had shed amply abundant light unto the custodial death of Teoh Beng Hock was as a result of homicidal assault as supported by expert evidence which was sufficient to attract some level of criminal liability against the MACC officers, being de jure and de facto members of a state organ, who were involved.
In the 2011 Commissioners Report Into The Death of Teoh Beng Hock, paragraph 261 discerned that racial abuses and discrimination appeared to be the interrogation procedure adopted by the very same officers of the state organ involving the victim and another. This fact preceded the victim’s homicidal assault as supported by expert evidence which was sufficient to attract some level of criminal liability against the MACC officers, being de jure and de facto members of a state organ, who were involved.
These are akin to racial abuses and discrimination and crimes committed by the Myanmar Tatmadaw. This is the Malaysian equivalent.
The state-parties to the ICERD in its Preamble declare their conviction that any doctrine of superiority based on racial differentiation is scientifically false, morally condemnable, socially unjust and dangerous, and that there is no justification for racial discrimination, in theory or in practice, anywhere.
Teoh Beng Hock’s custodial death as a result of homicidal assault as supported by expert evidence which was sufficient to attract some level of criminal liability against the MACC officers, being de jure and de facto members of a state organ, who were involved, BEARS WITNESS TO THE INTERNATIONALLY-DECLARED CONVICTION.
As of todate, has the victim, Teoh Beng Hock, his kith and kin, found justice? The answer will be a Resounding No!
So Mr. Minister, dare we reject the benevolence of ICERD? Tell that to Teoh Beng Hock and at least, another!

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL AS THE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR MUST CONSIDER THE LETTER TO THE CIA AND ITS CONTENTS WRITTEN BY A FORMER SENIOR AND HIGH-RANKING MALAYSIAN PUBLIC SERVANT IN THE THEN PRIME MINISTER’S DEPARTMENT AS SECURITY OFFENCES UNDER SOSMA WHICH PROVIDE FOR SPECIAL MEASURES RELATING TO SECURITY OFFENCES FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAINTAINING PUBLIC ORDER AND SECURITY AND FOR CONNECTED MATTERS
ReplyDeleteThe transmission (by whatever means) of the letter and its contents to the CIA by the former director general of the Research Division in the then Prime Minister’s Department (hereinafter referred to as “the Letter”), must be seen as an action that has been taken and that the possibility of further action is threatened by a substantial body of persons both inside and outside Malaysia, namely the then Research Division of the then PM’s Department and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), which is a foreign intelligence service of the federal government of the United States of America, certainly has the ability to compromise Malaysia’s internal security. Declassified CIA Reports by the Foreign Subversion and Instability Center, a part of the CIA, denote the “purposely provocative” manner in which the CIA will subvert and destabilize a nation. The CIA is a world-renowned organization that has the legacy of covert U.S. involvement in the seven successful coups (not to mention a number of U.S. military interventions against hostile regimes and U.S.-supported insurgencies and failed assassination attempts).
The clear results of the 9th May 2018 Malaysian General Elections and the large majority win of the Pakatan Harapan coalition further discerns that the pre-elections transmission of the letter and its contents, e.g. para 14, pertain to an activity or activities detrimental to Parliamentary Democracy or an attempt or attempts to commit activity detrimental to Parliamentary Democracy, being criminal offences under sections 124B and 124C of Act 574 (the Penal Code). It is also a criminal offence under s.124I for the dissemination of false reports in relation to the first sentence of para 11 of the letter, as it is clear as the Sun that the Kleptocratic Regime did not win the 14th GE adequately to form the federal government.
Furthermore, the transmission of the letter and its contents must be seen as a sabotage of or an attempt to sabotage the well-enshrined constitutionally protected participatory democratic and electoral rights of the majority of Malaysian citizens in choosing their democratically-elected federal government, both being criminal offences under sections 124K and 124L of Act 574.
All of the above are security offences specified in the First Schedule of Act 747 (SOSMA) as Chapter VI offences of the Penal Code are classified under Sosma as "security offences", thus allowing the preventive detention law to be invoked.
Two Malaysian lawyers, Matthias Chang in his YouTube vidposé (video exposé) and Haniff Khatri in his Malaysiakini interview have pointed out the criminality of such acts.
Till date, the individual and others in her then Research division of the then PM's Department have not been detained and investigated under SOSMA.
