FRIDAY GUEST BLOGGER: NURUL IZZAH ANWAR

I became aware of her during the reformasi saga. She went thru the fire that tempered her into what she is today - demure, comely, engaging but STEELY because she is still on fire. I met her when the opposition accepted the People's Declaration in Blog House, more than a month before the 12GE. I met her later at PP and KT and a few other PR functions.
She blogs and I happen upon this appeal to her constituents. Wednesday night coming out of the Bungsar Village carpark, I exited into Jl Maaroff to get into the Federal Highway. As I made the right turn, a scream alerted me to the scene of a snatch theft. I could not stop as the traffic behind me was fast. I hope nothing happend to the lady. Nurul's posting as such is timely as my Friday Guest Blogger. Her appeal:

Open letter to the residents and patrons of Bangsar

Dear Friends,

I am writing this letter to you, Bangsar residents and visitors, because as of now, the crime rate in Bangsar has reached alarming levels. More and more people in Bangsar are becoming victims of snatch thefts, break-ins, and assaults. Even prostitutes are now seen along Jalan Telawi nowadays.

Many of you have written letters to inform me of all the above, thank you for doing so. I have to emphasize that I welcome any kinds of comments, criticisms and constructive arguments. I believe it’ll help me to assist you better. But do remember, that while I am here to help. I cannot do it alone.

Thus far, I have managed to conduct dialogue sessions with the police (both closed, and open door meetings), make unannounced visits to different police stations in Bangsar, Pantai Dalam, Sri Sentosa, and ultimately request for formal meetings with top police echelons in Brickfields. It is important to hightlight the ever persistent issue of crime in Bangsar, as well as other areas in Lembah Pantai.

We must speak up against crime, such as the assault that took place even at commonly frequented sites such as the Gujerati Association. I met with the community at the crime scene, bringing together, them (the affected community) with C/Insp. Mat Shahrizan Said (the OCS of Pantai Police Station). It is a frightful thought to worry about our childrens’ safety when they are having activities at the center, especially when police patrol exists.

I will continue to highlight these issues to the media, as well as raise them in Parliament. But again, the most important avenue I have is to appeal for your help. Please come out and state your concerns in front of the police this 28th of February at Pusat Komuniti Bukit Damansara (near Sekolah Sri Cempaka). Let’s unite in our effort to help create a safer environment for our children, family and friends.

This session will include suggestions for the police to improve their services. We will open these suggestions for a frank discussion with the people of Bangsar and the Police. I have invited the Deputy OCPD of Brickfields, Supt. Azri Rahman to the forum.

To ensure we are not faulted for not cooperating with security apparatus, I must also ask all of you to lodge a police report if you have been a victim of crime. No matter how difficult the process may be, we must register crime into the national statistics. The thrust of our campaign from now on will be “LODGE A REPORT. PUNISH THE VILLAINS!”. We must do our part, and the police will always be reminded to do theirs!

Join me this Saturday, 28th February 2009, at Pusat Komuniti Bukit Damansara (near Sekolah Sri Cempaka, next to Saidina Omar Mosque). Or visit http://www.nurulizzah.com/site/stopcrime/ for more info.

Nurul Izzah, MP

Lembah Pantai

19th February 2009

+++++

Bangsarians, go for the

28 February meeting.

Support the

efforts of your MP who cares.

Adakah Gambar Sebegini Setanding Kertas Undi?

Sejak kebelakangan ini, isu "moral" telah dijadikan sebagai sejenis alat untuk memaksa sesetengah tokoh pemimpin daripada mengundurkan diri,
Anwar, Chua Soi Lek, ADUN Bukit Selambau merupakan mangsa mereka!
Ya, inilah cara paling senang, tidak perlu modal yang banyak, gambar sudah memadai untuk mencapai matlamat nia.

Cubalah lihat, hari ini video chua soi lek diedarkan, esok dia terus mengundurkan diri,
diikuti ADUN Bukit Selambau, dan kini Elizabeth Wong.

Namoaknya "mereka" ini berjaya lagi,
kejayaan yang keji!

Sesetangah pemimpin yang beranggapan dirinya "bermoral tinggi" ingin memaksa Eli daripada mengundurkan diri,
tetapi adakah kita terfikir, kebenaran di sebalik insiden ini?
Bagi saya, beliau tak salah, kenapa?

1) Orang yang menangkap dan mangsa yang ditangkap gambar.

Secara logik, siapa yang salah? Orang yang menangkap dan mangsa yang ditangkap gambar? Contoh: seorang mangsa dirogol, siapa yang salah? orang yang merogol atau orang yang dirogol? jangan beritahu saya kerana mangsa berpakaian seksi lalu menyebabkan mereka berlakuan sedemikian! Kanak kanak berumur 3 tahun juga tahu ini salah orang yang merogol! Kalau kita berpendapat Eli perlu undur atas kejadian ini, adakah kita juga mengiktiraf tindakan orang yang menangkap gambar ini sah?

Daripada sumber berita, gambar tersebut ditangkap ketika Eli masih tidur maka ini telah menunjukkan Eli adalah tidak tahu masa dia ditangkap gambar.

Sekiranya tindakan tidur secara bogel juga dianggap salah, maka adakah pemimpin perlu bertimbang untuk memakai ketika mandi? Ya untuk mengelakkan daripada gambarnya ditangkap, tapi demi masa depan politik anda, baik anda ikut saja.

2) Manfaat umum

Semua yang berlaku merupakan hal peribadi Eli yang tiada kaitan dengan manfaat masyarakat umum. Adakah industri pelancongan terjejas? ekonomi akan merosot? harga minyak akan naik? sekiranya isu ini didedahkan. Jawapannya TIDAK.

Jangan biar isu gambar ini sehingga mempersoalkan cara pentadbiran yang telah ditunjukkan oleh Eli dalam masa 11 bulan ini. Kegigihan Eli dalam pentadbiran disaksi ramai. Selain itu, beliau turut serta dalam pelbagai kempen kesedaran rakyat.

3) Jangan biar tindakan ini daripada merebak

Jikalau Eli berundur diri kerana tekanan pelbagai pihak, maka secara umumnya orang yang menangkap gambar ini diisytiharkan menang kerana tujuan sudah dicapai. Dan saya rasa, tindakan sebegini akan merebak di dalam politik negara kerana tindakan keji ini dianggap murah iaitu tidak perlu guna sedikit wang pun untuk menarik mereka melompat parti dan sebagainya.

Kita perlu membanteras sekeras kerasnya tindakan keji sedemikian supaya ia tidak merebak ke dalam politik negara demi kebaikan negara kita pada masa akan datang.

4) Isu lain yang perlu diutamakan

Sekiranya isu ini dianggap serious, macam mana pula dengan isu rasuah? isu politik wang? isu kroni dan sebagainya? Inilah isu yang dianggap perlu diutamakan kerana berkaitan dengan kepentingan masyarakat. Mereka yang mengutuk Eli dalam hal ini adakah akan melakukan yang sama dalam isu di atas yang berkait dengan kepentingan masyarakat? Adakah mereka akan dihukum jika salah? atau kamu menganggap isu Eli ini lebih penting daripada isu di atas?


Ya, hanya dengan beberapa gambar,
YB yang dipilih rakyat boleh dijatuhkan.
kalau begitu, apa gunanya pilihan raya?

Jawapannya "TIDAK"
kita perlu membanteras sekeras kerasnya mereka yang terlibat.
Sekiranya tidak, Eli bukan orang pertama dan juga bukan orang yang terakhir,
penyakit keji ini akan merebak ke dalam arena politik kita!

难道这些照片就能战胜选票?

最近,马来西亚政坛常常出现以一些非常下贱的手段来推翻一些人物。
安华,蔡细历,以及最近的Bukit Selambau州议员,就是败在他们的手下,
这一系列的事件让我觉得原来推翻一位州议员是那么简单,
不需要选票,用几张照片就可以达到目标了!
就是那么简单,不需要庞大的资金,时间!
你看看,蔡细历,今天被公布照片,明天就引咎辞职,
Bukit Selambau州议员也是这样,黄洁冰更不用说了。

看来这些下流的造事者又在取得了一次胜利!
一次不光彩的胜利!

正当一些常常以为自己有非常“道德”的品格来批评这一件事时,
尝试呼吁牵涉这一次丑闻的女主角下台时,
我们是否必须清楚了解到这件事背后的重要性?
对我而言她并没有错,为什么?


1) 偷拍者与被偷拍者

这是非常简单的道理,到底是拍照者的错?还是被拍那位?举个例子,一位强奸受害者和一位强奸犯,谁的错?不要跟我你们也赞同那

些读过很多书的国会议员在国会发表的伟论,说那是因为该名女士穿的太性感而引发了强奸犯的念头!这种问题是三岁小孩也能答的出

来的答案,怎么能颠倒是非呢?如果我们坚持黄洁冰必须下台,因为她“被偷拍”了,这合理吗?

在这里我们必须清楚,谁是偷拍者,谁是被偷拍者,是的黄洁冰是被偷拍者,她是在裸睡是被偷拍。这就讲明了,她是在不经意的情况

下被拍的。

再说,如果这样也有错的话,是否那一些政治人物必须考虑冲凉是因该是穿衣的等等,以防被偷拍,不然你们就被逼辞职,为了大家的

政治前途,大家还是照着办比较好,不然痛脚被捉到是很难翻身的。


2) 利益冲突

整个事件的发生可以说是黄洁冰的私事,和社会利益根本没有任何冲突,(可能你可以说道德方面,但是切记,她是被偷拍的),难道

这一类事件公布了,马来西亚旅游业会被影响?马来西亚经济会受影响?油价会大涨?股票大跌?因为大家为了这次的事件而不敢来马

来西亚?不敢进股?答案是“不”,两者根本就是互不相关的。

我们不能因为她被偷拍而质疑她的行政能力,在民联执政的这11个月内,她的努力是有目共睹的,不能因为这一类的丑闻而掩盖了她为

雪州人民付出的努力。此外,她之前也参与了许多非政府组织的活动。


3) 阻止这一类手法

如果要黄洁冰下台,是否我们已经赞同了偷拍者的做法?因为这场战役他赢了,他获得了民众的响应,成功的绊倒了黄洁冰!

是的,如果成效,马来西亚今后政坛将会非常热闹,不许要资金去拉拢议员,不许要派糖果去买人心,有几张照片就可以了。那么简单

的事,谁不要做?

我们必须严厉谴责,防止这一类不健康的政治文化入侵我们美好的国土,如果开了先例,后果不堪设想,任何阵营将会用这下流的招数

来达到自己的政治目的!


4) 其他可以更加因该被关注

偷拍事件是无耻的,对,就是偷拍者干了那么无耻的事。

但是,贪污呢?朋党问题呢?金钱政治呢?这些环绕在大众利益的问题,怎么没有被谴责呢?那些支持黄洁冰下台的领袖们,赶快表态

,你们会如何对付那些牵涉贪污,朋党和金钱政治的领袖们呢?


原来就是几张简单的照片就能绊倒一位在靠选票在大选赢得议席的人民代议士?
那么我们大选还拿来干什么?
用照片不就可以了吗?
如果是那么简单的话!

答案是“不是”的。。。
我们必须以非常严厉的态度来谴责涉及者。

是的,如果这一次,社会并没有以非常严厉的态度来批评这一次的事件的话,
我相信,黄洁冰不是第一个,也不是最后一个被类似事件诬蔑而下台的领袖,
其他人?等着瞧吧。包括那些批评她因该辞职的人,可能往后你也有份。

It is frightening that tackling crimes are left to residents and police need to be reminded to do their job. What are these goons good for...buta kaji plus ang pow!
Patrolling, in the comfort in their cars, will not deter criminals from their activities.
What sort of police force Malaysia have, that are very efficient rounding up soft targets and ignoring the hardcore criminals and their activities. Are they chicken hearted or pure laziness?
With the economy plunging to a record low, unemployment increasing, things will get even worst.
I hope YB Narul will find a solution but, it will be a tough ask...especially without the full co-operation from the police.

Another dirty tactic to force PR out by blaming the ADUN for not doing the good job?

Again, to those people who started loosing faith in PR, tulah, how to make difference when the BN goons uses such tactics to bring PR down. these are the little little things u do not see is happening. Obviously the police are still being controlled by BN goons.

After so many meetings with the police, still the police are not doing their part. You know why? Cause mass police force has been busy stopping us from going to a peaceful vigils, arresting RPK and whatever they claimed as national security threat.

Obviously robbery is not a threat. It's only a common practice by BN goons.

What a shame. We are now reduced to a point where we have to "tell" the police what can be done. We have deteriorated to a point where we continue to live in the shadow of crime -- in and outside our home. But our DPM says otherwise: that we have to change our perception about crime. Our cop-Head tell us that statistically we have improved by leaps and bounds in arresting crime.

This reminds me of Bakri Zinin saying after the Bala episode, He said to quote,"Pl come to me , Im the Director of the CID" Dont listen to others , come to me "

Sounded like some vaticinator, who just dropped down from heaven. He is blind to what is on the ground , and imagine in the words of a Law beholder , he was more an evangelist professing his greatness , while the thieves were stealing his shaving set under his nose.
It takes an Iron woman like Nurul like her mother to tell the cops that they are walking with their pants down in Bangsar.
Kudos to YB Nurul!
