Tanah Kerajaan Negeri Selangor Di Songlap.......

20,000 ekar tanah kerajaan Selangor di songlap

Apakah penjualan tanah 20,000 ekar di songlap oleh Teresa Cock Ahli Parlimen Seputeh. Kalau betul suruh SPRM dan PDRM siasat kes ini. Berapa juta pula duit rakyat di songlap oleh Ahli Parlimen tersebut. Atikel di bawah ini saya petik dari http://medantempurkedah.blogspot.com.

Kes penjualan salah satu aset terbesar kerajaan Selangor, Selangor Fruit Valley, masih dalam bayang-bayang . Tetapi berdasarkan dari risikan dalaman, Selangor telah menjual Selangor Fruit Valley kepada company kroni nya dengan alasan supaya projek ini tidak akan menjadi gajah putih lagi dan menjadi liabiliti Kerajaan Selangor.


Duit hasil penjualan tanah seluas 20,000 ekar tidak dapat dikesan kerana perkara ini disenyapkan oleh pihak tertentu. Teresa Cock, ADUN Kinrara dan Ahli Parlimen Seputeh yang bertanggungjawab ke atas pengurusan tanah tersebut terus mendiamkan diri tanpa penjelasan............

Anuar apa cerita...................

Anuar nak depat......

Dia cakap 40 minit, saya 20 minit sudah Anuar

Adakah berdebat kerana isu politik akan memeberi manafaat kepada rakyat. Kita rakyat tidak ingin melihat seorang pemimpin yang pandai berdebat dan menang dalam pendepatan tersebut. Kita rakyat tahu siapa dato Sri Najib dan dato Sri Anuar, kita rakyat juga tahu bahawa siapa yang dapat memimpin negara kita.

Jangan buang masa dan tunjukkan pada rakyat cara politik yang lebih matang dan kami rakyat semua faham dengan helah-helah parti-parti yang berikut.Jika berdepat isu politik di kaca tv ertinya sama dengan bolasepak BPL. Jadi semua duduk di kedai mamak dan bersorak yeaaaaa Najib tak boleh jawap dan kumpulan yang satu lagi yeaaaaa Anuar tak boleh jawap, itu seolah-olah sukan macam Arsenal vs MU. Tetapi apa yang di depat oleh kedua-dua pihak sejauh mana benar.

Amerika tunduk pada Taliban........

Taliban bertemu pegawai AS

WASHINGTON 29 Jan. - Taliban memulakan pertemuan dengan pegawai Amerika Syarikat (AS) di Qatar, baru-baru ini untuk membincangkan pendekatan awal dalam usaha menamatkan perang di Afghanistan, lapor akhbar The New York Times, hari ini.

Akhbar itu yang memetik beberapa bekas pegawai Taliban berkata, pendekatan awal itu turut melibatkan kemungkinan pemindahan banduan.

Setiausaha Majlis Pendamaian Tertinggi, Aminundin Muzaffari berkata, kerajaan Afghanistan menunggu lawatan delegasi kerajaan Qatar ke Kabul bagi menerangkan peranan mereka dalam rundingan tersebut.

The New York Times melaporkan wakil Taliban yang terdiri antara empat hingga lapan orang itu pergi ke Qatar dari Pakistan bagi menubuhkan satu pejabat politik untuk kumpulan itu.

''Kenyataan itu mencadangkan Taliban yang sebelum ini tidak secara umum menyatakan akan mengadakan rundingan bagi menamatkan perang di Afghanistan, bersedia untuk mengadakan rundingan awal,'' lapor akhbar itu.

Ia melaporkan, pegawai AS tidak menafikan rundingan itu.

''Rundingan itu seolah-olah menerima kelulusan tanpa bertulis daripada Pakistan yang sebelum ini menghalang usaha Taliban untuk mengadakan rundingan damai,'' lapor akhbar itu.

ISU NFC:JAN Perjelas Laporan Projek Lembu,Kit Siang Gesa Pengerusi PAC Letak Jawatan

Sama ada terdapat unsur-unsur penyelewengan dalam pelaksanaan projek itu terpulanglah kepada PDRM dan SPRM.

Tan Sri Ambrin Buang

KUALA LUMPUR: Jabatan Audit Negara (JAN) menjelaskan bahawa Laporan Ketua Audit Negara (LKAN) 2010 tidak ada menyebut perkataan-perkataan seperti kucar kacir, “in a mess” ataupun penyelewengan dalam laporan pengauditannya terhadap projek Pusat Fidlot Nasional (PFN) di Gemas, Negeri Sembilan.

Ketua Audit Negara Tan Sri Ambrin Buang, dalam kenyataan hari ini berkata, “Perkataan-perkataan ini telah digunakan oleh pihak-pihak lain dan JAN tidak sepatutnya dipertanggungjawabkan.”

Katanya pada pendapat JAN, sama ada terdapat unsur-unsur penyelewengan dalam pelaksanaan projek itu terpulanglah kepada penyiasatan pihak berkuasa seperti Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) dan Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM).

Beliau berkata pada perspektif audit, sememangnya terdapat beberapa kelemahan dalam pelaksanaan projek itu yang menyebabkan kerajaan menangguhkan pelaksanaannya pada Mei 2009, iaitu sebelum pengauditan dijalankan, sehingga satu kajian daya maju dan model perniagaan dijalankan.

“Perkara ini ada dinyatakan dalam LKAN 2010. Ia membayangkan Kerajaan Malaysia sememangnya sedar akan kelemahan-kelemahan dalam pelaksanaan projek ini dan telah mengambil tindakan untuk menentukan hala tuju projek,” katanya.

Tanpa sebarang prejudis 

Ambrin berkata pengauditan bagi projek PFN dibuat secara bebas dan profesional tanpa sebarang prejudis kepada mana-mana pihak dan sebarang kenyataan yang mempertikaikan kewibawaan dan integriti juruaudit JAN adalah dikesali.

Beliau berkata analisis audit mendapati objektif projek PFN masih belum dicapai sepenuhnya disebabkan pelbagai faktor yang dihuraikan dalam LKAN 2010.

“Antaranya, mengikut perjanjian pelaksanaan yang ditandatangani pada Mac 2010, sasaran pengeluaran PFN iaitu 38,600 ekor lembu untuk tahun 2010 belum dicapai kerana Program Pembangunan Usahawan (EDP) yang melibatkan 130 pengusaha ladang satelit belum dilaksanakan lagi,” katanya.

Ketua Audit Negara turut menjelaskan bahawa perkara yang menjadi fokus utama pengauditan prestasi yang dijalankan oleh JAN itu ialah pencapaian projek PFN sejak penubuhannya pada tahun 2006 dan bukannya National Feedlot Corporation Sdn Bhd (NFCorp) sebagai sebuah syarikat.

Menurutnya NFCorp adalah sebuah syarikat yang berdaftar di bawah Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM) di mana Kementerian

Kewangan Diperbadankan memegang satu “golden share” bernilai RM1 manakala modal berbayar berjumlah RM1.11 juta telah disumbangkan oleh Agroscience Industries Sdn Bhd.

Pengeluaran makanan negara

Ambrin berkata projek itu diaudit memandangkan ia penting daripada segi pengeluaran makanan negara di mana kerajaan memperuntukkan sejumlah wang yang besar kepadanya.

Katanya ini termasuk peruntukan di bawah Kementerian Pertanian dan Industri Asas Tani berjumlah RM73.64 juta di bawah Rancangan

Malaysia Kesembilan (RMK-9) bagi menampung kos pembangunan dan pengoperasiannya.

“Daripada peruntukan ini, sejumlah RM48.71 juta telah dibelanjakan setakat akhir tahun 2010 oleh kementerian itu untuk menyediakan tapak seluas 2,000 hektar bagi projek ini. Kawasan ini kemudian dikurangkan menjadi 800 hektar sahaja,” kata beliau.

Beliau berkata geran pelancaran untuk penyediaan infrastruktur berjumlah RM13 juta diluluskan kepada NFCorp pada September 2007 dan setakat akhir tahun 2010 sejumlah RM6.52 juta telah dibayar kepada NFCorp untuk penyediaan infrastruktur seperti kandang dan jalan ladang.

Ambrin berkata pinjaman mudah berjumlah RM250 juta juga telah diluluskan kepada NFCorp menerusi satu perjanjian pinjaman yang ditandatangani pada Disember 2007 dan setakat Mac 2010, sejumlah RM134.7 juta telah dikeluarkan kepada NFCorp berdasarkan kepada tuntutan yang dibuat kepada Kementerian Kewangan.

Kit Siang gesa pengerusi PAC letak jawatan 

Datuk Seri Azmi Khalid

Penasihat DAP Lim Kit Siang mahu pengerusi Jawatankuasa Kira-kira Awam (PAC), Datuk Seri Azmi Khalid meletak jawatan kerana didakwa melambatkan "penyiasatan penuh" terhadap dakwaan salah urus projek Fidlot Kebangsaan.

Ahli parlimen Ipoh Barat itu menggesa Azmi (kiri) supaya "jangan

menjadi halangan" kepada siasatan segera PAC terhadap tuduhan itu agar jawatankuasa berkenaan boleh membentangkan penemuannya di Parlimen apabila ia bersidang semula Mac ini.

Lim membuat gesaan itu ekoran Azmi, yang juga ahli parlimen Padang Besar, menghentikan siasatan PAC terhadap pengurusan projek lembu itu, sehingga polis dan Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM), menyelesaikan siasatan mereka.

"Keputusan PAC menghenti atau menggantung siasatannya terhadap pendedahan Ketua Audit Negara berhubung skandal itu hanyalah kecenderungan peribadi Azmi dan bukan keputusan kolektif PAC, kerana PAC tidak mengadakan mesyuarat selepas bermulanya siasatan polis dan SPRM terhadap NFC," katanya.

The War is Near

Iran Crisis: UK Could Send Military Assets To Strait Of Hormuz, Defense Secretary Says

TEHRAN, Iran — Military power near the strategic Strait of Hormuz could be bolstered by additional British forces, the country's defense secretary said Tuesday, as a defiant Iran shrugged off Europe's oil embargo and moved ahead with plans to hold naval exercises alongside the oil tanker shipping lanes it has threatened to block.

Tehran's bravado was in sharp contrast to the widening international pressures seeking to curb its nuclear program.

Australia became the latest country to shun Iranian oil, and the European Union's foreign policy chief traveled to Israel for talks certain to convey the West's belief that increasing economic isolation, rather than a push toward military action, is the most effective tool against Iran's leadership.

Iran also has accused Israel of masterminding a series of covert attacks such as a malicious computer virus designed to infiltrate uranium enrichment labs and targeted slayings of members of Iran's scientific community. Israel has made no direct comments on the claims, but dangled hints that clandestine operations are possible by Iran's many foes.

The EU on Monday joined Washington in backing sanctions targeting Iran's vital oil industry, which accounts for about 80 percent of its foreign currency revenues. The vote in Brussels came a day after a Western flotilla – two British and French warships and the American aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln's battle group – entered the Gulf in a show of force against any Iranian attempts to disrupt the route for one-fifth of the world's oil.

Iran's commanders, meanwhile, are preparing their own message. Plans remain in place for the powerful Revolutionary Guard to send its maritime forces for maneuvers next month in the Strait, which is jointly controlled by Iran and Oman and has become the latest flashpoint for a potential military confrontation.

"Elements within the European Union, by pursuing the policies of the U.S. and adopting a hostile approach, are seeking to create tensions with the Islamic Republic of Iran," the official Islamic Republic News Agency quoted Ali Asghar Khaji, a senior foreign ministry official, as saying. He called the EU decision "irrational."

But other Iranian officials claimed the sanctions would not work – and could even benefit OPEC giant Iran by driving up crude prices.

"The oil embargo will lead to higher prices. Europe will be the loser and Iran will earn more because of high prices," Iran's oil ministry spokesman, Alireza Nikzad Rahbar, told state TV.


Iran also summoned the Danish ambassador in Tehran over the EU's oil embargo. Denmark currently holds the EU presidency.

In London, Britain's Defense Secretary Philip Hammond said his country was ready to strengthen its military presence in the Gulf if needed.

The U.S.-led convoy of warships now in the Gulf – which included Britain's HMS Argyll frigate and France's frigate La Motte Picquet – sent "a clear signal about the resolve of the international community to defend the right of free passage through international waters," Hammond told reporters.

"We also maintain mine-counter measures vessels in the Gulf, which are an important part of the overall allied presence there, and of course the U.K. has a contingent capability to reinforce that presence should at any time it be considered necessary to do so," he added, accusing Iran of working "flat out" to produce a nuclear weapon.

Iran insists its atomic program is only aimed at producing energy and research, but has repeatedly refused to consider giving up its ability to enrich uranium. The U.S. and allies fear it could use its stockpile to one day produce weapons-grade material.

Hammond declined to offer specific details on what forces are currently in the Gulf, but said it had about 1,500 Navy personnel in the region east of Suez, which includes the Middle East and Indian Ocean, and a Royal Air Force base in Cyprus in the eastern Mediterranean.

Four anti-mine vessels are based out of Bahrain, which is also the base for the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet. Britain also has two frigates – including HMS Argyll – three support ships, a survey vessel and one hunter-killer nuclear submarine in the region, the ministry said.

Last year, the U.K. created a Response Force Task Group – drawn from a pool of warships and marines – that can be deployed at short notice.

In Paris, French military spokesman Col. Thierry Burkhard said the French warship, which specializes in countering submarine attacks, has since separated from the British and American vessels, but remains on a "presence mission" in the Gulf.

France doesn't have plans to deploy more forces to the zone, said Burkhard, noting that France has a small base in the United Arab Emirates, which currently houses six Rafale warplanes and about 650 troops, including an infantry battalion.

The United States and allies already have warned they would take swift action against any Iranian moves to choke off the 30-mile (50-kilometer) wide Strait of Hormuz. The foreign minister from the wealthy Gulf state of Qatar – which has close ties with the West and Iran – called the waterway an international corridor that "belongs to the world."

"We hope the tensions over Hormuz disappear," Hamad bin Jassim told the Qatari newspaper Al-Arab.

But the primary objective of Western leaders appears to be waging an economic battle to weaken Iran's resolve.

In Israel, the EU's foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton began a three-day visit with a public agenda dominated by the stalled peace effort with Palestinians. The Western efforts to squeeze Iran, however, could overshadow the talks.

Washington and its European allies appear to strongly favor the path of tighter sanctions and diplomatic pressures on Iran. Evidence of its impact – a plummeting Iranian currency and Iran's Asian oil customers considering looking elsewhere – are used to counter calls by Israeli hard-liners and others for possible military strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.

Ashton urged Iran to resume negotiations with world powers that broke off last year. Israel's Defense Minister Ehud Barak lauded the tighter European sanctions but appealed for even harsher measures.

"We think these are decisions in the right direction," he told reporters. "But it is very important to tighten them even more and add steps against the central bank and additional steps in order to force the Iranians to quickly reach a decision point of are they going to stop the military nuclear program or face the consequences of not stopping it."

In London, Australia's foreign minister, Kevin Rudd, said his country would join the EU's oil embargo though it was mostly a symbolic act since Australia imports very little Iranian oil. The 27-nation EU had been importing about 450,000 barrels of oil per day from Iran, making up 18 percent of Iran's oil exports.

Iran's Oil Ministry said the country can find new markets, though U.S. officials have been pressing Tehran's main Asian oil markets to turn away from Iran.

China – which counts on Iran as its third-biggest oil supplier – has rejected sanctions and called for negotiations over Iran's nuclear program. South Korea, which relies on Iran for up to 10 percent of its oil supplies, also has been noncommittal on sanctions.

Japan, which imports about 9 percent of its oil from Iran, has not made a decision on whether to reduce its imports. Foreign Minister Koichiro Gemba told parliament Tuesday that Japan hoped to cooperate with the international community, but stressed the need to keep oil prices stable while making sanctions effective

U.S. Military Frees Hostage..........

Raid In Somalia: U.S. Military Frees Hostages Held Since October

MOGADISHU, Somalia — U.S. military forces flew in helicopters under the cover of darkness on a raid into Somalia early Wednesday and freed an American and a Dane held hostage, Western officials said. Pirates reported a gun battle with several casualties.

The Danish Refugee Council confirmed that the two aid workers, American Jessica Buchanan and Dane Poul Hagan Thisted, were freed "during an operation in Somalia." Buchanan and Thisted had been working with a de-mining unit of the Danish Refugee Council when they were kidnapped in Somalia in October.

An official told The Associated Press that the raid was carried out by U.S. military forces. A second official said the helicopters and the hostages landed at a U.S. base in the tiny East African nation of Djibouti after the raid. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the information had not been released publicly.

Maj. Kelly Cahalan, a military spokeswoman at U.S. Africa Command in Stuttgart, Germany, said she had no information on the reported raid. A spokeswoman at the Pentagon had no immediate comment.

The Danish Refugee Council said both freed hostages are unharmed "and at a safe location."

A pirate who gave his name as Bilal Hussein said he had spoken to pirates at the scene of the raid and they reported that nine pirates had been killed. A second pirate who gave his name as Ahmed Hashi said two helicopters attacked at about 2 a.m. at the site where the hostages were being held about 20 kilometers (12 miles) north of the Somali town of Adow.

The Danish Refugee Council had earlier enlisted traditional Somali elders and members of civil society to seek the release of the two hostages.

A Good Year for Moving Beyond Oil

We haven't even made it out of January, but 2012 is already shaping up as a watershed year in the fight to end our addiction to oil.

The big news, of course, was President Obama's decision not to approve the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. It was politically brave on the president's part, but it's also a huge symbol of the growing recognition that what's good for Big Oil has nothing to do with what's good for America and that the sooner we can separate oil and state, the better.

It's not just environmentalists who understand this -- it's everyone from labor (the United Steelworkers, United Auto Workers, and Transport Workers unions were just some of those that opposed the pipeline) to Nebraska ranchers to young people concerned about reckless climate-disrupting carbon pollution.

So kudos again to the Obama administration for standing up to intense pressure from what is still the wealthiest industry on the planet.

It's fantastic that we've stopped what once looked like an unstoppable pipeline, but let's not forget that if we really want to move our country beyond oil, we need to do more than just stop bad things -- we have to move forward on good things, too. Fortunately, this year the Obama administration also plans to make one particularly good thing happen: setting a new average fuel-economy standard of 54.5 mpg for cars and trucks by 2030.

That translates to using 1.5 million fewer barrels of oil per day by 2030 -- as much oil as we imported from Saudi Arabia and Iraq combined last year. The cumulative amount of carbon pollution eliminated would be a staggering 6 billion metric tons over the life of the program -- the equivalent to one year of current U.S. CO2 emissions. It will be the single biggest thing any nation has done to address climate pollution -- and the biggest step yet toward moving America beyond oil.

Next Tuesday, January 24, I'll be among those speaking here in San Francisco at the third and last of three public hearings on the new fuel standards (the others were in Detroit and Philadelphia).The public's invited, so come if you can. If you can't be there, you can comment online, instead.

Detroit was a fitting venue for a hearing because these new standards are enthusiastically supported by not just consumers and environmental groups but also by autoworkers and automobile manufacturers (thirteen of them, including the Big Three). In fact, the Sierra Club will be holding a press event and rally across the street from the San Francisco hearings at the Longshoreman's Hall (400 North Point St.). If you're in the Bay Area, join us at noon. Lots of our partners in labor, public health, and consumer protection will be there, and we'll have a few electric vehicles and super high-efficiency vehicles, as well as some special guests from city government.

Of course, many battles lie ahead -- Big Oil won't give up easily and still has plenty of political clout. But it's hard not to feel optimistic on the heels of a huge victory and the verge of a historic breakthrough
