JI briefing: 'Asri, Hadi linked to Wahhabism'

Another high-level briefing was held at the Bukit Aman federal police headquarters last night as part of efforts to send out the red alert amongst the government's senior echelon on the Jemaah Islamiah (JI) threat.

Apart from the movement's terrorist threat, participants at the briefing also heard that JI subscribed to Wahhabism, an ultra-conservative, hardline form of Islam. This sparked fear among some present that a witch-hunt may be on the cards.

jemaah islamiahWahhabism, although widely practised in Saudi Arabia, is 'not encouraged' by the Malaysian Islamic institution.

The high-ranking officials attending the meeting – among them the police task force on terrorism, public university vice-chancellors and heads of security departments – were clearly uneasy with what they heard.

This due to the deputy director of the Al-Quran and Core Knowledge of Institut Latihan Islam Malaysia, Zamihan Mat Zin who alleged a link between Wahhabism and several notable Islamic figures in the country.

Among the names mentioned were former Perlis mufti Mohd Asri Zainul Abidi, the state's current mufti Juanda Jaya, former Perlis menteri besar Shahidan Kassim and PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang.

PAS denounced the alleged link at a press conference in Parliament this morning, claiming the government was merely using the JI threat as a smokescreen to make the Islamist party a scapegoat in Malaysia's 'war against terror'.

Witch-hunt fears

Zamihan had also linked the radical Middle Eastern Islamic school of thought to local NGO Pertubuhan Jamaah Islah Malaysia (JIM), causing more uneasiness among the officers who were present at the briefing.

"We don't want this to turn into a witch-hunt," said a source who had attended the briefing.

"It was essentially a flawed briefing. Simply linking Wahhabism to JI can create panic among those who don't know better.

"And then people can simply accuse their enemies of being Wahhabist, and get them into trouble because of this so-called terrorism links," the source told Malaysiakini.

The police briefing, chaired by Higher Education Minister Mohamed Khaled Nordin (right) , was the second one on the JI threat in public universities.

News of the threat broke out last week after Inspector-General of Police Musa Hassan revealed that 10 foreigners had been arrested and deported since the beginning of this year under the suspicion of being JI operatives.

Musa said that the foreign suspects were trying to recruit 20 to 30 university students to join their group.

Local targets planned

Jemaah Islamiah is a militant Islamic group that has claimed responsibility for the 2002 Bali bombings (below), the 2004 bombing of the Australian embassy in Jakarta and the bombing of the JW Marriot Hotel also in Jakarta in 2003 all of which took more 300 lives.

The group is on the UN's list of terrorist organisations with links to the Al-Qaeda.

JI was recently reported to have been planning to blow up the Kek Lok Si Temple in Penang as well as the Sri Subramaniar Swamy Devasthanam Hindu temple at Batu Caves.

Tahniah Karpal Singh...

Aku setuju kerusi Batu kosong. Ini undang2 dan undang2 sama untuk semua...tiada pengecualian....

I will not tell lies for Pakatan, says Karpal

KUALA LUMPUR, June 21 — DAP chairman Karpal Singh has defended himself for insisting that PKR's Chua Tian Chang is disqualified from his Batu parliamentary seat, saying that he would not "tell lies" to save his Pakatan Rakyat comrade.

"I am not against the PR. I am just stating what the law is. I must be frank.

"I cannot, just because it is the PR, I must tell lies," he told reporters when approached at the Parliament lobby this evening.

When Chua, a first-term MP, was sentenced to a RM2,000 fine in default two months' jail for biting a police constable in 2007, Karpal (picture) had immediately said that the fine had spelled out Chua's doom.

He had noted that Article 48 of the Constitution, which states that an MP should be disqualified from his seat if he is fined not less than RM2,000 or jailed not less than one year, stipulates that Chua's RM2,000 fine meant that his Batu seat was as good as vacant.

Karpal's stand goes against that of Chua himself, however, who insisted that his status as Batu MP should no longer be disputed based on the judge's reason for delivering the sentence.

High Court Justice Datuk Ghazali Cha had reduced Chua's earlier sentence of a RM3,000 fine in default six months' jail to a RM2,000 fine in default two months' jail in order to avoid a by-election in Batu.

However, Karpal continued to stick to his guns today despite this and insisted that Chua should be disqualified.

He even said that the Speaker of the House was compelled to declare the Batu seat vacant once he received the sealed order of the court.

"I may be from PR but this is the law. I cannot lie and speak otherwise just because I am in the PR," he said.

Karpal added that his comrades in the PR were welcome to blame him for speaking against a fellow PR man as he would not change his stand.

"The law is clear. I do not know why there is a controversy, I hope all this will end.

"The law states not less than RM2,000 fine which means it is RM2,000 and above (to disqualify an MP)," he said.

Karpal said that if Chua or the judge insisted on interpreting the law otherwise, both parties were wrong.

"The lawyers should have stood up and said no, please reduce the fine to less than RM2,000.

"I am not saying that it was the fault of the lawyers but it would have been the best thing to do.

"I would have done it," he said.

Karpal insisted that his words did not mean he was "anti-Pakatan" or that he wanted to join the Barisan Nasional.

"I am not joining the BN by giving this interpretation... please," he said.

He noted that the probable reason why none from BN was disputing Chua's validity as an MP was because they were attempting to avoid a by-election.

"If there is a by-election, PR will win, hands down. It is a safe seat," he said.

He however expressed regret however that if a by-election were to be held, by-election laws would prohibit Chua from recontesting the seat.

Felda to build refinery in Quebec

The construction of the crushing plant and refinery in Becantour, Quebec, is part of Felda's plan to spread its wings internationally

Published: 2008/01/22

FELDA Holdings Bhd's wholly owned unit Twin Rivers Technology (TRT) Group will build a crushing plant and refinery in Becantour, Quebec, Canada, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said today.

"We (Felda) are dealing with the Quebec government to build the new plant there," he told reporters after performing the ground breaking ceremony for the Platinum Park project and witnessing the signing of a sale and purchase agreement for Menara Felda in Kuala Lumpur.

Felda is buying the 50-storey office tower at Platinum for RM640.7 million. It is being built by TTDI Development Sdn Bhd and is due to be completed in four years.

Najib said the construction of the plant is part of Felda's plan to spread its wings internationally.

Felda bought a 100 per cent stake in TRT last August for about US$71 million .

TRT, based in Boston and Quebec and formed in 1994, comes under Felda Global Ventures (North America) Sdn Bhd.

It has a fatty acids plant in Quincy, Massachusetts in the US, which produces glycerin and another in Cincinnati which makes the basic ingredients for food products like Olestra and Omega 3, sefose (sucrose esters of fatty acids) industrial products and biodiesel.

TRT also has a seaport in Quincy, a rail loading and delivery system linked to the North American rail system and a storage tank capacity of 70,000 tons.

The takeover of TRT has enabled Felda to reach the global level in three aspects of palm oil development - oleochemicals, biodiesel and basic/food ingredients.

This provides potential for expertise and technology transfer in production, products and oleochemicals-based technology. — Bernama
