SHAH ALAM Bersatu Armada chief Muhammad Hilman Idham has slammed the Madani government for what he claims is a failure to uphold its promises on civil liberties, particularly the right to free speech.Responding to questions about freedom of expression, Hilman argued that the government had not lived up to its reformist image and instead had shown a growing tendency to suppress dissent.He said that freedom of speech was not merely a political slogan but a constitutional right that must be defended, a right he believed was increasingly being undermined under the current administration."Weve seen a series of incidents involving individuals, even leaders, being silenced from expressing their views."At the same time, this government has failed to deliver on its earlier pledge to uphold the peoples right to free speech, a promise they themselves made before coming to power, he told Sinar Daily when met earlier here today.Hilman referred to several recent instances where Opposition figures and government critics were allegedly denied the space to voice their opinions.Such actions, he said, stood in stark contrast to the promises made by the ruling coalition before coming to power, pledges that included defending democratic freedoms and promoting open political discourse.Hilman, who was also the Gombak Setia assemblyman, said the governments approach to criticism had eroded public trust and exposed a disconnect between its rhetoric and governance.According to him, any administration that sought to silence its critics ultimately betrayed the very values it claimed to represent.While acknowledging that freedom of speech must be balanced with responsibility, he maintained that democratic institutions should never be used as tools to stifle legitimate expression.His remarks came in the wake of the arrest of political activist Chegubard, whose real name is Badrul Hisham Shaharin, in connection with the recent Himpunan Turun Anwar rally at Dataran Merdeka.Chegubard was detained at his residence to assist in investigations, with police confirming that four reports had been lodged over the event, which drew an estimated crowd of 18,000 people.Investigations were being conducted under several laws, including the Minor Offences Act 1955, the Penal Code, the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 and the Sedition Act 1948.One of the reports concerned the flogging of an effigy resembling a local political leader near Masjid Negara and was being handled by Federal Polices Classified Criminal Investigation Unit (USJT).Meanwhile, three other cases related to drone activity during the rally had been referred to the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM).

SHAH ALAM Bersatu Armada chief Muhammad Hilman Idham spoke of the need for strategic political cooperation and a clear commitment to principles as the party prepares for the upcoming Sabah state election.While acknowledging that groundwork is already being laid, Hilman confirmed that internal discussions are ongoing about whether Bersatu should formalise political alliances before or after the election.What is certain, he said, is that no single party can afford to contest alone in todays fragmented political environment, especially in a complex state like Sabah.With the current political landscape, we know that we cant win alone

SHAH ALAM - Calls are mounting for the government to prioritise an earthquake early warning system following the recent tremors reported in Johor.Bersatu secretary-general Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali said the tragedy had raised anxieties among Malaysians, especially those residing in the southern state."I go along and support the recommendations and suggestions made by the experts that the government must take proactive measures to safeguard and protect the safety of Malaysians, including those affected by the recent earthquakes in Johor, he told Sinar Daily.Azmin said the implementation of an alert system was not a new concept and Malaysia should learn from other countries that have successfully adopted such technology."If you compare to what has been implemented in Japan and many other parts of the world, they have developed and installed alert systems to notify citizens before an earthquake happens."Im sure the technology is available and the experts can readily assist the government with solutions and recommendations," he added.The former economic affairs minister said the government must act swiftly to allay public fears, particularly among Johor residents who felt the impact of the tremors in Segamat and surrounding districts."Currently, it has created a lot of anxiety among the residents

KUALA LUMPUR Ahli Parlimen Kinabatangan, Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin memberitahu Mahkamah Sesyen di sini pada Khamis, cadangan bahawa beliau telah memainkan peranan yang aktif dalam memastikan pelaburan RM150 juta berjaya, merupakan sangkaan jahat.Ahli Majlis Kerja Tertinggi UMNO itu berkata demikian ketika prosiding bela diri atas tiga kes rasuah dihadapinya, sementara kes bersubahat membabitkan isteri, Datin Seri Zizie Izette A Samad berhubung pelaburan Felcra di unit amanah dalam Public Mutual Berhad berjumlah RM150 juta.Bung Moktar, 66, juga tidak bersetuju ketika Timbalan Pendakwa Raya, Mohamad Fadhly Mohd Zamry ketika mencadangkan, semua tindakan yang berhubung pelaburan berkenaan, adalah di luar skop tugasnya selaku Pengerusi Bukan Eksekutif, Lembaga Penyatuan dan Pemulihan Tanah (Felcra).Beliau mengulangi pendirian sama apabila diaju bahawa beliau bertindak tanpa kebenaran bertulis daripada Ahli Lembaga Pengarah (ALP) Felcra berhubung pelaburan unit amanah Public Mutual terbabit.Pendakwaan: Setujukah dengan cadangan saya, tanpa penglibatan Datuk Seri, pelaburan ini tidak mungkin berjaya.Bung Moktar: Tidak setuju.Pendakwaan: Setujukah semua tindakan yang dibuat, adalah bagi memastikan kepentingan Datuk Seri dan isteri?Bung Moktar: Tidak betul.Pendakwaan: Saya cadangkan, Datuk Seri jelas mengetahui bahawa habuan akan diperoleh sekiranya pelaburan itu berjaya dibuat.Bung Moktar: Tak betul, itu sangkaan melampau.Pendakwaan: Setujukah, Datuk Seri telah menggunakan pengaruh dan jawatan sebagai Pengerusi Bukan Eksekutif Felcra bagi memastikan pelaburan ini berjaya, supaya wang RM2.8 juta diterima oleh isteri dan Datuk Seri sendiri.Bung Moktar: Tidak benar, saya tidak bersetuju.Dalam pada itu, Pengerusi BN Sabah berkata, kurang bersetuju apabila dicadangkan beliau tidak mengikuti prosedur dan membelakangkan ahli lembaga menyuarat."Saya tidak setuju, dalam Felcra ada bahagian kewangan dan pelaburan, maka ia dikira sebagai pengurusan tertinggi."Justeru itu, tiada istilah saya membelakangkan keputusan ahli lembaga berhubung isu pelaburan ini," katanya.Pada 3 Mei 2019, Bung Moktar yang ketika itu Pengerusi Bukan Eksekutif Felcra didakwa atas dua pertuduhan secara rasuah memperoleh untuk dirinya, suapan wang tunai RM2.2 juta dan RM262,500 sebagai dorongan untuk mendapatkan kelulusan Felcra untuk melabur RM150 juta dalam unit amanah Public Mutual amanah.Dia didakwa menerima suapan daripada ejen pelaburan Public Mutual Berhad, Madhi Abdul Hamid melalui isterinya, Datin Seri Zizie Izette A Samad dan akaun Public Islamic Treasures Growth Fund atas nama isterinya.Dua kesalahan didakwa dilakukan di Public Bank Cawangan Taman Melawati di sini antara 12.30 tengah hari hingga 5 petang pada 12 Jun 2015 dan 12.16 tengah hari, 19 Jun tahun sama.Bagi pertuduhan ketiga, Bung Moktar didakwa menerima wang tunai RM337,500 daripada perunding Unit Amanah, Norhaili Ahmad Mokhtar atas nama Zizie Izette atas sebab dan tempat yang sama, jam 12.28 tengah hari pada 19 Jun 2015.Pertuduhan dibuat mengikut Subseksyen 17(a) Akta SPRM 2009 dan boleh dihukum bawah Seksyen 24(1) akta sama yang membawa hukuman penjara tidak lebih 20 tahun dan denda tidak kurang lima kali ganda nilai suapan atau RM10,000 mengikut mana lebih tinggi, jika sabit kesalahan.Sementara Zizie Izette berdepan tiga pertuduhan bersubahat dengan suaminya berhubung perkara itu di lokasi, tarikh dan masa sama.Prosiding di hadapan Hakim, Rosli Ahmad bersambung 24 September ini

BALIK PULAU - A 34-year-old woman, who died after falling from the 28th floor of a condominium in Bayan Lepas on Wednesday night was five months pregnant.The unemployed victim, who had reportedly recently broken up with her partner, was found dead in the condominiums parking area by members of the public at about 9.10pm.Southwest district police chief Assistant Commissioner Sazalee Adam said initial checks revealed that the sliding window in the victims room was open.The victim lived with her mother on the 28th floor of the condominium, as neighbours often saw them entering and leaving together, he said.Sazalee said the case has been classified as sudden death.Earlier, it was reported that a woman dressed in an anime costume resembling the character Kurumi Tokisaki was found dead after allegedly falling from a condominium.In the 9.20pm incident, the victims body was discovered by members of the public in the parking area near the residential block after a loud thud was heard.A resident, who declined to be named said he heard the sound before stepping out of his home to check.The victim had previously been seen frequently in the condominium lobby wearing anime costumes.It was understood that on the day of the incident, she was last seen with a woman believed to be her mother.Her body was later sent to the Penang Hospital Forensic Department at about 12.30am for a post-mortem.

JOHOR BAHRU A tightly sealed container with ventilation holes placed inside a car driven by a man near the edge of a forest close to Bandar Seri Alam led to the discovery of a Malayan sun bear on Wednesday.The operation was carried out by the police through the Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) Bukit Aman, in collaboration with the Johor Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) at about 12.35pm.FRU Commander Senior Assistant Commissioner Rosli Yusof said the driver of the Perodua Myvi, a 22-year-old local man, was arrested.He said checks revealed the suspect failed to produce any licence or written permission to keep or possess the animal.The estimated value of the seizure is RM70,057, including the vehicle, personal belongings and the sun bear, he said, adding that the integrated operation reflects the polices strong commitment, especially the FRU, in combating illegal activities involving wildlife.He added that the sun bear is a protected species and continuous efforts must be made to rescue wildlife from becoming victims of the illegal trade.He stressed that close cooperation with Johor Perhilitan demonstrates the effectiveness of both intra- and inter-agency approaches in intensifying intelligence gathering and joint operations to ensure laws are upheld and the nations natural heritage is safeguarded.This is to ensure that future generations do not lose such precious natural treasures.Members of the public are urged to provide information to the authorities if they know of any smuggling or illegal possession of wildlife without a permit, he said.The case is being investigated under the Wildlife Conservation Act 2010 (Act 716).
