Hudud hanya untuk orang Islam - Presiden PAS

SHAH ALAM, 28 Dis (Hrkh) - Memahami keresahan masyarakat bukan Islam, Presiden PAS Dato' Seri Abdul Hadi Awang menjelaskan bahawa pelaksanaan Hudud hanya melibatkan kalangan yang beragama Islam.

Masyarakat bukan Islam tidak seharusnya berasa bimbang jika hukum Hudud dilaksanakan di negara ini sebaliknya boleh memilih undang-undang yang mereka mahu seperti yang telah tertulis dalam Undang-undang Kanun Jenayah Syariah Kelantan dan Terengganu, katanya.
"PAS tak perlu terangkan (tentang hukum Hudud) kerana undang-undang ini tiada kena mengena dengan orang bukan Islam.
"Pada kita, tidak timbul lagi soal Hudud kerana ia telah diluluskan di DUN (Dewan Undangan Negeri) Kelantan sejak tahun 90-an lagi dan di Terengganu pula telah diwartakan," katanya dalam sidang akhbar selepas merasmikan kempen 'Jom Sertai Pas' di Dataran Shah Alam semalam.
Ditanya sama ada PAS akan membawa usul mengenai pelaksanaan hukum Hudud di Parlimen untuk dibahaskan, beliau berkata belum tiba masanya untuk berbuat demikian.
Abdul Hadi dalam pada itu menyatakan hukum Hudud di negara ini hanya akan dilakukan jika rakyat negara ini berada dalam keadaan yang stabil.
"Masalah pengangguran masih ada lagi dan untuk laksanakan hukum ini kedudukan rakyat Malaysia mesti stabil contohnya daripada segi pendidikan, kehidupan, dan hubungan keluarga juga kena dijaga," katanya yang dipetik daripada agensi berita. - azm _

Japanese group asks Google to stop map image service

Japanese group asks Google to stop map image service

TOKYO ( Dec 19, 2008) : A group of Japanese lawyers and professors asked on Friday that Google Inc stop providing detailed street-level images of Japanese cities on the Internet, saying they violated privacy rights.

Google's Street View offers ground-level, 360-degree views of streets in 12 Japanese cities and is also offered for some 50 cities in the United States and certain areas in Europe.

The service allows Web users to drive down a street, in a virtual sense, using their mouse to adjust views of roadside scenery.

"We strongly suspect that what Google has been doing deeply violates a basic right that humans have," Yasuhiko Tajima, a professor of constitutional law at Sophia University in Tokyo, told Reuters by telephone.

"It is necessary to warn society that an IT giant is openly violating privacy rights, which are important rights that the citizens have, through this service."

The Campaign Against Surveillance Society, a Japanese civilian group that Tajima heads, wants Google to stop providing its Street View service of Japanese cities and delete all saved images.

Google's office in Tokyo was unable to comment immediately.

Privacy concerns about Google's service have grown in Japanese media, especially after some people discovered their images on Street View.

Similar concerns have been raised in other parts of the world, including the United States and Europe.

In one case, a woman was shown sunbathing and in another a man was pictured exiting a strip club in San Francisco.

In March, Google said it would comply with a Pentagon request to remove some online images from Street View over fears they posed a security threat to US military bases.

Web-based Google Maps and a related computer-based service called Google Earth have drawn criticism from a variety of countries for providing images of sensitive locations, such as military bases or potential targets of terror attacks. -- REUTERS

Blogger comment: I never thought about this but to ensure the safety of the civilians, i think it shoukd stop.

Mohd Khalil Abdullah Thu | Dec 25, 08 | 5:45:26 pm MYT

KUALA LUMPUR, 25 Dis (Hrkh) -Masyarakat bukan Islam di negara ini tidak akan terjejas dengan pelaksanaan hukum hudud. Menurut Naib Pengerusi DAP, M Kulasegaran, beliau menghormati pendirian PAS dalam pelaksanaan hukum hudud dan yakin bukan Islam di negara ini tidak akan terjejas kehidupan mereka jika ia dilaksanakan. Mengulas situasi dan suasana pilihan raya kecil Kuala Terengganu, Kulasegaran menambah bahawa,para pengundi Cina tidak akan terpengaruh dengan isu hudud menjelang pilihan raya kecil di sana. Menurutnya, mereka matang dan mampu melihat dengan lebih jelas permainan yang cuba dibawa oleh Barisan Nasional (BN). "Perkara ini telah didebat banyak kali.Tiada yang baru,"katanya kepada wartawan selepas perasmian pusat khidmat masyarakat Adun Jelapang (DAP),Hee Yit Foong. Tambahnya, dia menghormati pendirian PAS untuk melaksanakan hudud dan ia merupakan inspirasi parti tersebut. "Ia masih memerlukan perubahan perlembagaan persekutuan,"jelasnya sambil menegaskan PAS akan sukar mendapat majoriti untuk melakukannya. Pengundi-pengundi Cina dilaporkan membentuk 11 peratus dalam daftar pemilihan untuk pilihan raya kecil di Kuala Terengganu dan ia penting buat BN. Kulasegaran yang juga merupakan Ahli Parlimen Ipoh Barat menegaskan,seandainya hukum hudud dilaksanakan gaya hidup masyarakat bukan Islam tidak akan mendapat kesan. "Ia adalah pendirian PAS. Saya hormati pendirian mereka.Itu merupakan urusan mereka,"tegasnya. - mks. _

Japan factory output has biggest fall on record

By JAY ALABASTER, Associated Press Writer Jay Alabaster, Associated Press Writer 28 mins ago

TOKYO – Japan's contracting economy got a slew of bad news Friday when government figures showed that industrial production plunged by its biggest margin on record in November, the jobless rate jumped and household spending fell.

Output at the nation's manufacturers tumbled 8.1 percent from October, the largest drop since Tokyo began measuring such data in 1953, as Japan's automakers and others slashed production to cope with slowing global demand. A government survey predicted further declines of 8 percent in December and 2.1 percent in January.

"Exports and industrial production are falling so extraordinarily quickly that it almost defies analysis," said Richard Jerram, chief economist at Macquarie Securities in Tokyo.

The drop in factory production is nearly double the previous biggest decline of 4.3 percent in January 2001, according to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Earlier this week, trade data showed that exports plunged a record 26.7 percent in November.

Many companies, including big names like Toyota Motor Corp. and Sony Corp., have announced plans to cut production and workers. The yen's recent surge has also dealt a huge blow to the world's second-largest economy by eroding exporters' overseas earnings.

The job cuts are already being reflected in a higher unemployment rate, which rose to 3.9 percent in November from 3.7 percent in October, the Ministry of Internal Affairs said. That's still below the 4.2 percent reached in August.

The ministry said 2.56 million people were unemployed in Japan in November, an increase of 100,000 from a year earlier.

Part-time and temporary workers have suffered the bulk of job cuts so far. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare said Friday that given current company plans, 85,000 such workers will have lost their jobs between October and March, compared to about 3,300 permanent employees.

The largest portion of such job cuts were in Aichi prefecture of central Japan, where Toyota and many of its part makers are based. Layoffs of salaried employees is rare in Japan, where lifetime employment is a tradition.

Consumers are also holding back. Retail sales fell 0.9 percent in November from last year, the third straight monthly decline.

And average monthly household spending dipped 0.5 percent from a year earlier, for the ninth decline in a row. Still, the drop was smaller than expected, beating the 3.6 percent decline forecast by a Kyodo News survey. Household spending is a key indicator of consumer spending, which makes up more than half of Japan's gross domestic product.

Inflation, meanwhile, eased. Core consumer prices — which excludes volatile fresh food prices — rose 1 percent after a 1.9 increase in October.

As Japan's economy weakens, government officials have warned that deflation, or steady price declines, is a possibility next year. Japan suffered through bouts of deflation from 1999 to about 2006, as it recovered from previous economic downturns.

Investors shrugged off the bevy of negative numbers. The benchmark Nikkei 225 stock average rose 1.6 percent to 8,739.52.

"Industrial output is highly volatile, and given the current state of the global economy, investors were not surprised by the plunge in November," said Kazuki Miyazawa, market strategist at Daiwa Securities SMBC Co. Ltd.

Japan's economy is already in recession. In the third quarter, it shrank 1.8 percent at an annual pace, worst that first thought.

The outlook for manufacturers is particularly grim. If dire forecasts for the next two months of industrial production hold, factory output will have fallen 20 percent from the start of October through January 2009.

Output by automakers fell 15 percent from October and 25 percent from a year earlier. Electronic manufacturers cut output 12 percent compared the previous month and 25 percent from the same month last year.

Economists say that while the outlook for the near-term remains bleak, a modest recovery in demand and production may begin to surface in mid-2009, as governments around the world begin to implement stimulus measures announced in recent months.

"We haven't see the light at the end of the tunnel yet, but we should be seeing it in a few months," said Takuji Okubo, an economist at Merrill Lynch.

After-Christmas shopping unlikely to save season

By SARAH SKIDMORE, AP Retail Writer Sarah Skidmore, Ap Retail Writer

PORTLAND, Ore. – There's holiday joy and post-holiday blues, but for the nation's retailers it's all been one big downer.

The holiday shopping season was one of the most dismal in years and even the after-Christmas period, when consumers normally rush to stores to use gift cards and seize on big sales, isn't expected to be enough to save retailers from a terrible year.

Holiday sales typically account for 30 percent to 50 percent of a retailer's annual total. But shoppers cut back their spending this year as they struggled with job cuts, home foreclosures, portfolio losses and other economic woes.

Analysts have kept slashing their holiday estimates. Michael P. Niemira, chief economist at the International Council of Shopping Centers, now expects that sales at established stores for November and December will fall 1.5 percent to 2 percent — which would make it the weakest holiday season since at least 1969, when the index began.

According to preliminary data from SpendingPulse — a division of MasterCard Advisors that tracks total sales paid for by credit card, checks and cash — retail sales fell between 5.5 percent and 8 percent during the holiday season compared with last year. Excluding auto and gas sales, retail sales fell between 2 percent and 4 percent, according to SpendingPulse.

A better indicator of how retailers fared won't arrive until Jan. 8, when major stores report same-store sales, or sales at locations open at least a year, for December.

Retailers are still trying to entice consumers with big markdowns, extended hours and other perks.

"It has a Black Friday feel to it," said Tom Aiello, a spokesman for Sears and Kmart, likening the post-Christmas promotions to those found the day after Thanksgiving.

Sears stores are opening several hours early and offering doorbuster deals through noon. Shoppers can get jeans for less than $10 or special financing on exercise equipment to help keep their New Year's resolutions.

Kmart is cutting in half prices on necessities, such as fall and winter clothes for the family, and offering deals on seasonal decor.

Although gift cards sales overall are predicted to be down, Aiello said Sears and Kmart have not seen that and are expecting strong redemption. Retailers cannot record a sale on gift cards until they are redeemed.

Toys R Us said it is cutting prices by 60 percent on some brands the day after Christmas. And kids who didn't get the Hannah Montana doll they wanted may be able to find it for half off.

Other retailers such as Target are pushing online deals, rather than in-store promotions, more heavily in the post-holiday period. Target said it is putting thousands of items on clearance and making them eligible for free shipping the day after Christmas.

Others, like Wal-Mart Stores, are waiting until the weekend to make markdowns on items such as televisions, office and home goods but say they will continue in-store promotions of the week.

Several retailers said they will continue or add new promotions in January, as experts predict the recession will carry into 2009.

Orang Luar Kagum, Kita Bagaimana Pula?

Presiden Kesatuan Eropah kagumi kepimpinan Nik Aziz
Mohd Nor Yahya Thu | Dec 11, 08 | 7:55:24 am MYT
KOTA BHARU, 11 Dis (Hrkh) -Presiden Kesatuan Eropah,Marc Barety melahirkan rasa kagum di atas corak pentadbiran yang diamalkan oleh pimpinan Tuan Guru Dato'Nik Abdul Aziz di negeri Kelantan.

Beliau berkata demikian, ketika mengetuai seramai 14 peserta lawatan sambil belajar terdiri daripada Duta dan wakil kesatuan Eropah (EU) yang berkunjung ke negeri Kelantan baru-baru ini.
Delegasi tersebut terdiri dari negara Perancis, Republik Chech,Poland, Hungary,Slovakia, Austria, Sweden, United Kingdom,Belgium, Romania,Italy,Denmark dan Findland .
Rombongan deligasi tersebut telah disambut oleh Menteri Besar Kelantan,Tuan Guru Dato'Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat di Kompleks Kerajaan Darulnaim.
Sementara itu di sidang media, Tuan Guru berkata kunjungan delegasi dari EU ini memberi erti kerajaan Kelantan mendapat pengiktirafan dan penghormatan dari kaca mata dunia, beliau mengucapkan jutaan terima kasih di atas kesudian mereka berkunjung ke negeri Kelantan.
Tuan Guru juga berkata beliau telah ditanya berkaitan dengan perbezaan corak pentadbiran dengan pusat dan beliau menegaskan bahawa selagi corak pentadbiran Pusat tidak berlandaskan Islam, selagi itulah kami akan menegurnya.
Beliau juga berkata selepas kerajaan PAS mengambil alih Kelantan, beliau terus menukarkan semua akaun bank milik kerajaan kepada bank Islam yang tidak berlandaskan riba dan kini sudah banyak bank-bank yang menawarkan sistem perbankan tanpa riba.
Menyentuh kepada pemimpin sesebuah negeri ianya tidak semestinya keturunan melayu, Kaum lain seperti Cina juga boleh menjadi ketua negeri asalkan ia seorang yang alim dan warak serta menurut perintah Allah SWT.
"Sebab itulah kini,kita lihat adanya kelab penyokong PAS dari kaum-kaum lain, mengapa mereka tak tubuh kelab penyokong Umno kalau Umno itu betul gak,"ujar beliau.
Kerajaan Kelantan kini juga mempunyai penghulu dari kaum-kaum lain bagi merapatkan hubungan sesama kaum di negeri ini tanpa mengira agama.
Dari segi ekonomi pula, kerajaan beranggapan ekonomi tidak salah tetapi ahli ekonomi yang telah membunuh ekonomi itu sendiri, riba telah diteruskan secara berleluasa.
"Islam melarang duit membuat duit,mana boleh kita duduk diam-diam,duit datang berterusan,itu namanya riba, sebab itulah Kelantan dari awal lagi bila nak bagi pinjaman pada kakitangan untuk pembelian rumah,kenderaan dan komputer,mereka tidak dikenakan riba dan ini amat menyenangkan hati rakyat negeri ini,"katanya lagi.
Manakala ketika ditanya tentang pelaburan di negeri ini, Tuan Guru berkata ia tidak dibincangkan bersama delegasi ini,namun kerajaan negeri tidak akan menghalang mana-mana negara luar yang ingin melabur dalam sektor perhotelan dan industri asalkan ianya tidak melanggar peraturan teras dari negeri ini seperti dalam bidang perhotelan, mereka mestilah tidak menyediakan kemudahan berjudi,minuman dari alkohol dan pelbagai kegiatan maksiat.
Sementara itu, Marc Barety pula melahirkan rasa kagum di atas corak pentadbiran yang diamalkan oleh pimpinan Tuan Guru Dato'Nik Abdul Aziz dan beliau tidak merasa janggal walaupun corak pentadbiran negeri ini berbeza dengan negeri lain seperti Sabah dan kedah yang sebelum ini pernah dikunjungi beliau.
"Pentadbiran sebegini akan berterusan kerana ia dipilih secara demokrasi dan ia tidak menimbulkan sebarang masalah kepada rakyatnya,"ujar beliau.
Sementara itu, isteri delegasi tersebut turut diraikan oleh isteri Menteri Besar,Datin Hajjah Tuan Sabariah Tuan Ishak,mereka dibawa ke pusat kraftangan dan Pusat Batik di sekitar bandar Kota Bharu. - mks._

p/s: saya tidak pasti sama ada ini kesilapan atau tidak tapi Marc Barety bukan presiden kesatuan Eropah tetapi merupakan duta Perancis ke Malaysia. Namun saya beranggapan bahawa buat masa sekarang negara Perancis merupakan Ketua EU, maka Presiden nya Nicholas Sarkozy merupakan presiden EU. Oleh itu kemungkinan(sekadar pendapat saya) Marc Barety dianggap mewakili Presiden EU. Link untuk kenyataan saya di sini dan di sini juga. Tapi walau apa-apa pun, saya berasa bangga pujian yang diberikan oleh wakil Perancis itu. moga-moga banyak lagi negeri akan mengikutnya InsyaAllah

Disember Musim Salju

Hari ini sudah tiba bulan Disember. Bulan cuti yang amat dinanti-nantikan....atau dalam bahasa negara 4 musim...dah masuk musim salju(menarik guna perkataan salju ni, rasa liguistik habis).

Sekadar gambar khayalan semata-mata, tidak mungkin akan terjadi di Ireland :(

Satu bulan lebih lagi sebelum peperiksaan semester akan berlangsung, aku kena melipat gandakan usaha aku untuk menelaah subjek-subjek pre-Med aku...

Sekadar gambar hiasan

Tapi yang aku sedar, masa berlalu dengan pantas, rasa macam baru lagi aku masuk Kolej Perubatan Diraja Ireland (Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland aka RCSI). tup tup lagi dua minggu jadual kelas aku akan habis sebelum masuk musim cuti selama 3-4 minggu sebelum peperiksaan semester.



Banyak yang telah aku lakukan sepanjang berada di sini, ramai rakan baru telah aku kenali (dari pelbagai negara), sesungguh aku tak sangka akan berjaya menjejak kakiku di negara Eropah untuk meneruskan pengajianku ini jika mempunyai pemikiran 2 tahun yang lepas sewaktu aku di Perth. Sesungguhnya jikalau sudah rezeki, cubalah berpaling kemana-mana pun, destinasi nya tetap itu....larilah ke mana-mana pun, ambillah jalan jauh sekali pun, akhirnya sampai ke destinasi yang sama. (itu merupakan kata-kata hikmah abah yang sentiasa ku pegang)

KALAU ADA REZEKI, MESTI DAPAT. YANG PENTING USAHA MESTI ADA.

USAHA DULU, LEPAS TU TAWAKKAL BANYAK-BANYAK

Itulah kata-kata abahku setiap kali aku hampir berputus asa untuk belajar bidang perubatan.



Juga tak dilupakan kepada umiku, yang banyak memberi nasihat (nasihat penaja jangan lupa) yang banyak membimbingku sepanjang aku berada di luar negara ini. Sokongan dan peransang umi sangat bermakna. Juga kepercayaan yang diberikan akan saya pegang.



Maka setiap kata-kata peransang itu(semangat, semangat, semangat) membuat kan saya kembali ke landasan sebenar.










TERIMA KASIH ABAH DAN UMI!!!! Saya SAYANG Abah dan Umi
