MH370 : Akhbar China bidas Kerajaan Malaysia kerana lemah dan lembab..

Sebuah akhbar yang rapat dengan pemimpin China membidas Malaysia ekoran kehilangan pesawat MH370, dan berkata Malaysia tidak boleh lari dari tanggungjawab serta perlu membekalkan maklumat terkini tentang kapal terbang yang hilang itu.

Dalam lidah pengarang akhbar itu hari ini, Global Times berkata kehilangan pesawat "harus disiasat dengan teliti dan pokok masalahnya perlu dipertanggungjawabkan kepada Malaysia".

"Pihak Malaysia tidak boleh lari dari tanggungjawabnya. Sehingga semalam, ia tidak dapat memastikan maklumat yang tepat mengenai penumpang. Respon awal dari Malaysia tidak cukup pantas.

"Terdapat kelemahan dalam kerja Malaysia Airlines dan pihak berkuasa keselamatan," kata akhbar pro-Beijing dalam laman beritanya.

Ia menegaskan bahawa kemalangan pesawat biasanya berlaku semasa berlepas dan pendaratan, bukan semasa penerbangan.

"Kehilangan MH370 berlaku di langit, yang membuatkan kita ragu. Tidak kira apa sebabnya, ia telah mempengaruhi cara orang ramai melihat keselamatan udara.

"Jika ia disebabkan kerosakan mekanikal atau kesilapan juruterbang, maka Malaysia Airlines harus dipersalahkan.

"Jika ini adalah serangan pengganas, maka pemeriksaan keselamatan di lapangan terbang Kuala Lumpur dan dalam penerbangan itu dipersoalkan. Jika ia adalah disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor semulajadi atau tidak terkawal, semua syarikat penerbangan di seluruh dunia, termasuk Malaysia Airlines, ia perlu menjadi pengajaran," katanya.

Sementara itu, dalam perbualan telefon mereka hari ini, Presiden Amerika Syarikat Barack Obama menawarkan simpatinya dan berkata Amerika sedia berkerjasama secara "menyeluruh" dengan China dalam usaha menyelamat.

Hampir dua pertiga daripada 239 orang di atas penerbangan MH370 Malaysia Airlines itu adalah dari China, dan jika kehilangan pesawat itu disahkan, ia akan menjadi bencana udara kedua terburuk China dari segi bilangan rakyatnya yang terlibat.

Siasatan telah dilancarkan terhadap penumpang yang menjadi suspek selepas para pegawai berkata dua orang Eropah yang nama mereka dalam senarai penumpang - yang pasport kedua-dua mereka dicuri di Thailand - tidak berada di atas kapal terbang, menurut laporan AFP.

Dalam editorialnya, akhbar harian China itu seterusnya menulis bahawa "keganasan tidak boleh dikesampingkan", dengan pihak berkuasa Malaysia dan antarabangsa masih belum menjelaskan bagaimana sekurang-kurangnya dua penumpang tersebut dapat menaiki kapal terbang itu dengan pasport Itali dan Austria yang dicuri ~ The Malaysian Insider

Pursuit of life safety surpasses all concerns  

The missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has shocked the world. This is the most sensational and mysterious incident of this kind in recent years. More than half of the passengers were Chinese and we are most concerned about their safety. 

Accidents of aircraft usually happen during taking off and landing, and chances are small when they are flying. The missing MH370 took place high in the sky, which makes us doubtful. No matter what the reason, it has influenced the way in which people see air safety. 

The Malaysian side cannot shirk its responsibilities. Until yesterday, it could not even ensure accurate information about the passengers. The initial response from Malaysia was not swift enough. 

There are loopholes in the work of Malaysia Airlines and security authorities. If it is due to a deadly mechanical breakdown or pilot error, then Malaysia Airlines should take the blame. 

If this is a terrorist attack, then the security check at the Kuala Lumpur airport and on the flight is questionable. If it is due to some natural or uncontrollable factors, all airlines across the world including Malaysia Airlines should draw a lesson. 

At press time for this editorial, the flight was still missing. Besides Malaysia and Vietnam, China and the US are also looking for the plane and collecting information. The missing of such a large object shows that there are still blank areas supposed to be covered by information networks. 

This accident has unprecedented attention in China. There were 154 Chinese people aboard this flight. As the civil aviation industry has been developing fast, more people choose to travel by air. 

Moreover, Malaysia is one of the hottest destinations for Chinese travelers. Care about life has dominated China's public opinion sphere. The Chinese people value the safety of life. We demand safety of food, air, water as well as transportation. 

Therefore we pay special attention to the security situation of countries where the Chinese people are keen to travel. As China boasts a large population, ensuring the safety of all citizens is a huge challenge for the country. 

China has already topped the world in the number of annual outbound travelers. Any disasters that lead to major casualties may involve Chinese people. As a country stepping into modernity, China faces the task of how to minimize risks. 

The accident of the missing MH370 must be investigated thoroughly and the crux of problems on the Malaysian side must be found out. 

The route between key cities in Southeast Asia like Kuala Lumpur and Beijing directly involves the safety of Chinese travelers. The accident should be made an example for the whole region. 

Time is always needed to investigate an accident. Hopefully the airlines in Southeast Asia will keep a high alert and take people's inquiries into serious consideration. So must airlines in China ~ Global Times

Akhbar Australia dakwa pengusiran Senator Nick Xenophon buktikan Najib pengecut.

Pengusiran senator Australia Nick Xenophon minggu lalu menunjukkan pentadbiran Datuk Seri Najib Razak “takut” dengan rakyat Malaysia yang akhirnya mencapai kematangan untuk mencapai kebebasan demokrasi, kata akhbar Sydney Morning Herald hari ini.

Pengarah akhbar antarabangsa Peter Hartcher berkata kerajaan pimpinan Barisan Nasional (BN), walaupun memerintah lebih setengah abad, tetapi masih belum membawa negara ke arah demokrasi matang, dan takutkan pilihan raya bersih dan adil yang akan mengugat mereka memegang kuasa.

Beliau mengatakan peranan Xenophon sebagai pemerhati antarabangsa sistem pilihan raya Malaysia dan berkempen untuk pilihan raya adil, menyebabkan senator bebas itu diusir dari negara Sabtu lalu.

“Puncanya kerana beliau adalah pemerhati antarabangsa berkempen untuk pilihan raya adil dan bersih,” kata Hartcher dalam komentarnya hari ini.

Lagi Sydney Morning Herald tu tulis..

At the centre of the long success of the ruling party is racial politics.

The county had a history of communal violence; the coalition National Front or Barisan Nasional (BN) party addressed that problem because it was founded on the principle of power-sharing between racial groups, the Malay majority with the Chinese and Indian minorities.

This balance held in check the fear of racial violence on a communal scale. But another key concept in the long years of BN rule was that the native Malays were inferior. They may be numerically dominant, but they lacked the skills and abilities of the other races. ''Deep within them,'' wrote Mahathir in his 1970 book The Malay Dilemma, ''there is a conviction that no matter what they decide or do, things will continue to slip beyond their control; that slowly but surely they are becoming dispossessed in their own land. This is the Malay Dilemma.''

How to address it? By granting the Malays special privileges, including guaranteed dominance of the public sector and automatic, unearned shares of national wealth. In short, affirmative action. ''It should not be wrong,'' wrote Mahathir, ''for the Malays to cling to a system which can elevate them to the status of other races, thus creating a more equitable society.''

The system kept the peace, but one side-effect of such a long stasis was that the government's monopoly on power allowed it to wield a near-absolute control over the other arms of the state, including the courts.

Mahathir shocked the world when he demonstrated the way that he'd managed to compromise all parts of the system when he moved against his deputy and potential nominated successor, Anwar, by trumping up charges that he'd sodomised his aide and speechwriter. Anwar went to jail for six years.

This was supposed to discredit Anwar permanently. But after moving to the US, the aide who testified against him recanted. In the police cells he had been ''brutalised to make a totally false confession'', he said.

Anwar, freed, led a barnstorming campaign as the leader of the opposition. He delivered the BN government a terrible shock at the 2008 election - it lost its customary two-thirds majority of parliament.

And while the BN retained a big majority in the parliament, the actual voting figures show that the contest was much closer than it appeared. BN won 51.4 per cent of the votes while the greater opposition gained 48.6 per cent.

The BN is protected by a gerrymander which means that while some electorates have more than 100,000 voters, others have as few as 7000. It's also protected by other systemic factors including a restricted press - the opposition parties need government permission just to print their own newsletters.

These are some of the awkward facts that Xenophon, as part of a wider international observer group, pointed out in a report last year. That group reported that in its discussions with the secretary-general of BN, Adnan Mansor, he'd stressed the importance of ''avoiding racial strife'' in Malaysia. He had posed this question to the group: ''Are our people mature for freedom?''

The Malaysian government is afraid not of an Australian senator but of this question. In particular, the Najib government is frightened that the answer might be ''yes.''

Skandal Najib dan Altantuya disiarkan oleh Akhbar Australia pula..

Kisah Najib dan Altantuya semalam sekali lagi menghiasi dada akhbar di luar negara meskipun ianya digelapkan oleh media yang ditunggangi UMNO/BN di negara ini..

Kisah pembunuhan kejam ini pernah di siarkan oleh Akhbar Kanada ( SINI ) dan ( SINI ) serta Akhbar Kambodia ( SINI ) dan Hong Kong ( SINI )

Kini ianya disiarkan di Australia pula...

Akhbar berpengaruh Australia, The Age meramalkan skandal pembunuhan Altantuya Shaariibu yang dikaitkan dengan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak akan menjejaskan peluang Umno BN dalam pilihan raya umum (PRU) akan datang.

“Najib menafikan penglibatannya, tetapi dakwaan tersebut tidak akan hilang. Internet di Malaysia sedang ‘panas’ dengan pendedahan seorang ahli perniagaan yang tidak berpuas hati dengannya, Deepak Jaikishan, yang mempunyai hubungan dengan Umno,” tulis portal akhbar itu semalam.

Menurut akhbar berkenaan, pendedahan Deepak juga merupakan sebahagian usaha untuk membongkar misteri pembunuhan warga Mongolia itu pada 2006.

Akhbar itu turut mengaitkan pembelian dua kapal selam dianggarkan bernilai USD2 bilion pada 2002, ketika Najib menjadi Menteri Pertahanan.

The Age turut mengaitkan hubungan Abdul Razak Baginda, yang dituduh membunuh Altantuya namun dibebaskan mahkamah pada 2009.

“Antara tuntutan yang dibuat oleh Deepak seperti dinyatakan kepada pembangkang dan laman web bebas adalah bukti akuan bersumpah pada 2008 oleh penyiasat, (P) Balasubramaniam yang menyatakan Najib mempunyai hubungan seksual dengan Altantuya.

Malaysian PM caught up in murder, bribery scandal

THE plot has all the trappings of a B-grade movie: the murder of a glamorous Mongolian socialite amid allegations of high-level bribery, blackmail, betrayal and political cover-up.

But these are real-life events, and they could set back the chances of Malaysia's ruling coalition in an election that Prime Minister Najib Razak must call by midyear.

Mr Najib denies involvement but the allegations will not go away. The internet in Malaysia is running hot with allegations by a disaffected businessman, Deepak Jaikishan, who is well connected in the ruling United Malays National Organisation.

Malaysia's Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi (L) and his successor Najib Razak shakes hands after casting their votes for the deputy president of the the ruling party United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) at general assembly in Kuala Lumpur on March 26, 2009.

Malaysia's outgoing premier Badawi issued a damning indictment of the ruling party, saying it was contaminated by greed, complacency and internal rivalries.

They relate in part to the alleged cover-up of the murder of 28-year-old Mongolian fashion model and translator Altantuya Shaariibuu in a patch of jungle in the Kuala Lumpur suburbs in 2006.

The second part of the controversy is driven by an inquiry in France into a complex money trail left by Malaysia's $US2 billion purchase of two French-Spanish built Scorpene submarines in 2002 while Mr Najib was defence minister.

Ms Shaariibuu worked as a translator in the latter stages of the deal negotiations. Political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda speaks during a news conference in Kuala Lumpur November 20, 2008. Razak, a former aide to Malaysian deputy prime minister Najib Razak, moved on Thursday to exonerate Najib's name in a case involving the murder of a Mongolian woman that dogged the country's next leader.

The link between the two events is a Ferrari-driving businessman, Abdul Razak Baginda, one of Mr Najib's best friends and policy advisers, who was the director of the Malaysian Strategic Research Centre.

Mr Najib, who is preparing to contest his first election since being installed in power by his party in 2009, denies ever meeting Ms Shaariibuu or having any link with her. The government denies any wrongdoing in the submarine purchases.

But it was two of Mr Najib's bodyguards who dragged Ms Shaariibuu from a car, knocked her unconscious and shot her twice in the head on October 19, 2006, according to court testimony. She had begged for her life and apparently that of her unborn child.

The killers then wrapped her body in C4 plastic explosives obtained from the military and blew her up, ensuring the foetus was destroyed along with the identity of the father. For good measure, they erased her entry into Malaysia from immigration records.

The Scorpene submarine story has been tumbling out since 2002 when Mr Najib ordered them from French ship builder DCNS.

Two French investigating magistrates are looking into so-called ''commission'' payments of about $US160 million into companies reportedly set up by Mr Baginda. Documents have been seized from the DCNS offices in Paris.
