Menurut Menteri Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga dan Masyarakat, YB Dato’ Sri Rohani Abdul Karim, dalam melaksanakan CSR di syarikat masing-masing, kekangan yang lazimnya dihadapi oleh sektor korporat atau swasta adalah kekangan dari segi masa.

“Portal ini dapat membantu masalah yang dihadapi oleh badan korporat atau syarikat yang ingin memberi sumbangan kepada PSK dan boleh mendapatkan maklumat lengkap dan keperluan sebenar PSK untuk menyampaikan sumbangan,” katanya kepada pemberita ketika merasmikan Majlis Pelancaran Portal MyCorporateCare di kementeriannya hari ini.

“Syarikat Korporat yang ingin menyumbang tidak perlu ragu-ragu berhubung dengan status PSK yang berdaftar dengan portal ini kerana senarai PSK yang dipaparkan dalam portal ini adalah sah dari segi penubuhannya dan mematuhi keperluan mengikut Akta Penubuhan 1966, Akta Pusat Jagaan 1993 atau Undang-Undang Tubuh yang lain.

Pertemuan maya di antara PSK dan Syarikat Korporat akan mempercepatkan lagi urusan pengendalian sumbangan Syarikat Korporat kepada PSK selaras dengan Dasar Kebajikan Masyarakat Negara 1990, Dasar Sosial Negara 2003 serta Wawasan 2020 iaitu ke arah memupuk masyarakat penyayang,” tambah Rohani lagi.

Portal MyCorporateCare adalah sistem yang dibangunkan secara percuma oleh Syarikat Kometsoft sebagai menunaikan CSR Syarikat Kometsoft kepada kumpulan sasar KPWKM khususnya JKM.

“Saya berharap dengan adanya portal ini, ianya mampu mengatasi masalah yang dihadapi Syarikat Korporat dalam memastikan sumbangan mereka dinikmati oleh golongan yang benar-benar memerlukan bagi meningkatkan kualiti hidup kumpulan sasar,” katanya.

The definition of 'sedition' under the Sedition Act 1948 may be reviewed in order to clear up any confusion or ambiguity over the term, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said today.

He said the act was not aimed at stifling dissent or criticism of the government but at protecting national peace and harmony.

"For example, there is a difference between criticising the government's economic policies and calling for the government to be overthrown.

"To me, there's nothing wrong with disagreeing with any of the government's decisions and policies, but we should not incite the people to cause chaos," he said after the presidential speech delivered by Datuk Seri Najib Razak at the Umno General Assembly 2014.

Muhyiddin, who is Umno deputy president, said the government will seek feedback from various parties on the planned amendments.

"We realise there are those who have called for the act to abolished, claiming that the law was draconian or obsolete.

"We must engage with them, and hopefully make them see that one of the outcomes of this law has been the peace and harmony that we have enjoyed since it was passed in 1948."

The amendments, he said, could be passed as early as next year, pending a review.

He also said there may no longer be a need for the National Harmony Act, which was originally planned to replace the Sedition Act.

"Both laws are aimed at promoting peace, so this is something that we will need to study further."

Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi today urged his contemporaries to make way for the young to take rise, as he echoed party president Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s call for the party to embrace youths as an “investment” for the future.

He said this is now the time of those from Generations X and Y to take on the mantle of leadership in the Barisan Nasional (BN) lynchpin, especially since amendments have been made to the party constitution allowing direct membership to Umno without having to sign on to any party division or branch.

“The era has passed. The opportunity should be given to the young. We are not warlords who consider party posts to be our possessions or should be handed down to our bloodline,” he said at a news conference after officiating at the Film Censorship Board’s 60th anniversary Carnival.

Earlier today, Najib said Umno must come to terms with current political realities and embrace youths if they hope to restore their waning influence in urban centres.

Taking a dig at senior party leaders who allegedly sabotage recruitment of young members in fear of losing their party posts, the prime minister said they risk becoming politically obsolete if the party does not work on reinvigorating its ranks with new blood.

Ahmad Zahid today echoed Najib’s call for renewal, urging senior party leaders to be cognizant of their position and extent of their influence among the grassroots.

“When you get the signal that you are no longer wanted, it is best to step down before you are made to leave,” he said.

Laporan polis yang dibuat ke atas wakil GERAKAN Johor, Tan Lai Soon berikutan kenyataan biadapnya yang mengatakan Melayu juga adalah pendatang di negara ini masih tidak mendapat maklum balas pihak berkuasa.

Naib Presiden 2 ISMA, Encik Abdul Rahman Mat Dali berkata, kita mahu tahu apa status laporan polis ke atasnya.

“Lebih 20 laporan polis dibuat. Tetapi sampai hari ini masih tidak ada tindakan.

“Rakyat ingin tahu status kes ini supaya tidak berulang kembali di masa hadapan.

“Jangan wujud dakwaan terpilih kerana ia akan menjejaskan keyakinan rakyat terhadap sistem pendakwaan negara,” tegasnya.

Pada 19 Oktober lalu, Tan mengeluarkan kenyataan menghasut apabila mengatakan orang Melayu juga sebenarnya pendatang di negara ini.

Katanya, Melayu, Cina, India semua pendatang, kecuali Orang Asli, orang Sabah dan orang Sarawak, yang menjadi bumiputera asal.

Ujar Encik Rahman, sudah hampir dua bulan masih tiada tindakan.

“Jadi kita harap siasatan segera perlu dilakukan. Tindakan ke atas Tan perlu dibuat secepat mungkin,” ujar beliau.

The National Unity Convention passed today a declaration that, among others, sought for Bumiputera citizens to be officially recognised as “bangsa teras”, or “core group”, who “calls the shots” on national policies.

The declaration also pushed for the Federal Constitution and this conceptual “core group” to be the cornerstone in the formulating and implementation of all actions, programmes and policies in nation forming, building and development.

“In the context of our country, the public is 67 per cent Bumiputera. So you have to listen to the majority first, only then you consider the other groups. That is how democracy goes,” Perkasa president Datuk Ibrahim Ali told reporters.

Besides holding the majority group, Ibrahim claimed the Bumiputera — which includes the Malays, Orang Asli and natives of Sabah and Sarawak — were also the original settlers of the land.

The convention today was organised by a coalition of 58 Malay NGOs, and was attended by over 300 groups, to debate and pass a National Unity Memorandum draft to be delivered to the Malay rulers, Putrajaya, the Cabinet, and every mentri besar or chief ministers.

The memorandum, titled “Malaysian Unity: the Core of National Peace and Prosperity”, covered topics such as economy, law, education and Islam.

“If the majority is not considered and be given a proper place, surely there will be no national unity,” said Ibrahim, who heads the memorandum drafting committee, said earlier.

Vice Admiral (Rtd) Datuk Mat Rabi Abu Samah, a central committee member of Perkasa, insisted that the concept of “core group” is important in order to ensure the security of the nation.

He claimed that the concept is similar to the United Nations Security Council, where the “core group” consists of the five permanent members: China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, and United States.

The memorandum, which was tabled and debated in the convention, will also be delivered during the Umno General Assembly, on November 27.

Ibrahim also said that the National Unity Council will be formed consisting of Malay-Muslim groups, which among others will be tasked to present the content of the memorandum to the public.

The Malays and Bumiputera make up the majority of Malaysia’s population at an estimated 67.4 per cent of the 28.3 million population, followed by the Chinese at 24.6 per cent, according to the most recent census at 2010.

NUSAJAYA 18 Nov. - Isu berkaitan tanah rizab Melayu akan terus menjadi agenda utama kerajaan negeri dan usaha mempertahan serta memperluaskannya dijalankan secara berterusan.

Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin berkata, keluasan tanah rizab Melayu di kawasan Iskandar Malaysia setakat September lalu menunjukkan peningkatan 12 kali ganda berbanding sebelum merdeka dengan keluasan 23,517.37 berbanding 1,921.44 hektar pada 1957.

Menurutnya, peningkatan keluasan tanah rizab Melayu turut menunjukkan peningkatan antara dua hingga 21 kali ganda di daerah-daerah lain di seluruh negeri.

"Kerajaan negeri memberi jaminan usaha mempertahankan tanah rizab Melayu akan terus menjadi agenda utama di bawah pentadbiran saya selaku Menteri Besar.

"Peningkatan data ini secara tidak langsung menolak dakwaan kononnya kerajaan negeri mengabaikan tanggungjawab tentang isu tanah rizab Melayu," katanya menjawab soalan Datuk Maulizan Bujang (BN-Tiram), Ayub Jamil (BN-Rengit) dan A. Aziz Ismail (BN-Senggarang) dalam sidang Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) di Kota Iskandar, di sini hari ini.

Berdasarkan perangkaan, keluasan tanah rizab Melayu di negeri ini meningkat kepada 279,744 hektar setakat September lalu berbanding hanya 87,563.6 hektar pada 1957.

Mohamed Khaled berkata, kerajaan negeri juga bersetuju untuk merampas tanah rizab Melayu yang telah bertukar pemilik kepada bukan Melayu.

"Tindakan ini membabitkan pertukaran hak milik tanah rizab Melayu yang berlaku menerusi pengambilalihan pemegang saham atau melalui pemilikan syarikat," katanya semasa menjawab soalan tambahan Datuk Samsol Bari Jamali (BN-Semarang).

Parents with problems taking care of their disabled (OKU) children can send them to the Social Welfare Department (JKM), Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Rohani Abdul Karim said.

She said it was better to put their children under the JKM's custody than neglecting them, as child neglect was an offence under the Child Act 2001.

"OKU children sent to the JKM will be placed at an institution most suitable for them to ensure that they will receive appropriate treatment and rehabilitation.

"As OKU, they also have their rights and we cannot deny their rights," she told reporters after officiating the closing of 'Nilai U - NIEW Future Leaders Camp 2014' programme here Monday.

Rohani was commenting on the Seremban Sessions Court's decision which sentenced Lolanopita Sadi, 40, to four months' jail and a fine of RM10,000 for neglecting her disabled son, Muhammad Firdaus Dullah, 15.

She said Lolanopita's case should be a lesson for all.

The minister said during the counseling session with the JKM, Lolanopita personally wanted her son to be put under JKM's custody because she was satisfied with his mental and physical development.

After serving her time, and if she wants, she can take her son back, but on certain conditions, Rohani said, adding that parents with similar situation could also call Child Helpline 15999 for advice and guidance.

Workers started winching debris from Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 on to trucks in eastern Ukraine Sunday, paving the way for its eventual return to the Netherlands four months after it was downed, killing 298 people.

A crew from the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic -- the pro-Moscow separatists who hold the territory -- supervised by Dutch experts used metal saws to cut up the wreckage before it was lifted on to trucks at the remote crash site near the village of Grabove.

Pieces of the engine, cabin and a seat were clearly identifiable among the charred wreckage of the doomed Boeing 777, an AFP reporter at the scene said.

"The first pieces of debris from the MH17 wreckage were gathered up today," said a statement from the Dutch Safety Board, whose investigators are leading the probe into the shooting down of the July 17 flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.

"If circumstances permit, work will restart tomorrow. We expect that the gathering up and removal of debris will take a number of days."

After being collected, the debris from the airliner will be transported to the government-controlled city of Kharkiv and then flown to the Netherlands.

The Dutch experts eventually intend to reconstruct a section of the doomed airliner.

A rebel official said the crew of some 15 people from Donetsk's emergency ministry hoped to finish the operations in the next 10 days and that they would focus on the largest chunks of fuselage first.

The team faces a race to complete the recovery effort before harsh winter conditions in the former Soviet state make it difficult to continue.

Ukraine and the West accuse Russia of supplying pro-Moscow rebels with the missile that shot down the aircraft. Russia and the separatists deny it, blaming Ukrainian forces instead.

A preliminary report by Dutch investigators published in September found the plane was hit by a large number of "high-energy objects", but did not apportion blame.

Putin swaps G20 for bed

Russian President Vladimir Putin, who also denies providing military support to the separatists, came under fresh pressure over Ukraine and MH17 at the G20 summit in Brisbane.

After a series of frosty exchanges with fellow leaders, Putin left the summit early on Sunday, saying he needed to catch up on some sleep.

The MH17 probe team has so far managed to collect and identify the remains of 289 victims from the tragedy but its operations have been disrupted by fierce fighting in the area between Ukrainian forces and rebels.

Around the region Sunday, fighting dragged on between the two sides, with the Ukrainian military saying that six soldiers were injured as its positions came under mortar fire 26 times during the night.

In the rebel stronghold of Donetsk, fresh shelling broke out on Sunday afternoon after a quiet morning, an AFP reporter said.

In the neighbouring separatist region of Lugansk, three volunteers fighting for the Ukrainian forces were killed, the interior ministry in Kiev said.

Ready for total war

The latest clashes come amid a nominal ceasefire that has halted fighting along much of the frontline but not stopped regular artillery bombardments at strategic hotspots.

Over 4,100 people have been killed in the conflict since April and almost one million have been driven from their homes, according to UN figures.

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko told German daily Bild that his country wanted peace but was ready for a full-scale war.

"I am not afraid of a war with Russian troops," he said in an interview to be published Monday."We are prepared for a scenario of total war."

During a visit to Bratislava on Sunday the Ukrainian leader said the conflict in the east would "end within two weeks" if the peace plan signed in Minsk in September was implemented.

The European Union and United States have slapped the toughest sanctions on Moscow since the collapse of the Soviet Union over its meddling in Ukraine.

EU foreign ministers will again discuss the situation in Ukraine at a meeting in Brussels on Monday.

A Ukrainian military spokesman, Andriy Lysenko, said Sunday there were "signs that rebels and Russian troops are preparing an offensive".

His comments came after NATO's commander in Europe, US General Philip Breedlove, said last week that "columns of Russian equipment, primarily Russian tanks, Russian artillery, Russian air defence systems and Russian combat troops" were entering Ukraine.'

However, military analysts say an offensive seems unlikely since the amount of hardware being moved into the east is insufficient for a major operation, which would also be highly challenging in winter

Presiden PAS Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang berkata terpulang kepada dirinya untuk menghadiri mesyuarat Pakatan Rakyat (PR) atau tidak.

"Saya tidak perlu diminta (hadir), (kalau) saya hendak hadir, hadirlah," kata Hadi yang dipetik dari portal The Malaysian Insider.

Ditanya jika beliau akan hadir ke mesyuarat yang PR akan datang, Hadi memberikan jawapan yang sama.

"Atas sayalah hendak hadir (atau) tidak mahu hadir," katanya.

Sebelum ini, Jawatankuasa Eksekutif Pusat (CEC) DAP meluluskan resolusi bagi mendesak Abdul Hadi hadir ke mesyuarat Majlis Presiden Pakatan Rakyat.

Setiausaha Agung DAP, Lim Guan Eng berkata Abdul Hadi perlu hadir bagi memastikan Pakatan Rakyat, gabungan Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), DAP serta PAS, berdaya maju dan mendapat keyakinan pengundi.

Guan Eng secara terbuka turut menggesa Abdul Hadi hadir dalam mesyuarat berkenaan selepas beberapa bulan Presiden PAS itu gagal berbuat demikian.

Sementara itu, Mursyidul Am PAS Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat berkata perkara berkenaan sepatutnya tidak dipersoalkan kerana Abdul Hadi mempunyai alasan tersendiri tidak dapat berbuat demikian.

"Dia (Abdul Hadi) tidak datang mesyuarat disebabkan malas atau uzur? dia uzur. Kenapa paksa orang uzur hadir mesyuarat.

"Kerja 'orang bodoh' ini (mempersoalkan ketidakhadiran Hadi)," katanya kepada pemberita ketika ditemui di rumahnya di Pulau Melaka, Kota Bharu pada Ahad.

Kanak-kanak berusia enam tahun yang menyelamatkan adiknya daripada menjadi mangsa kebakaran ketika rumah mereka di kampung Kubang Depu di Besut, Terengganu dijilat api tahun lalu, hari ini menerima Anugerah Pingat Hang Tuah atas keberaniannya itu.

Mohd Syawal Mohd Shukri, pelajar Tadika Kemas Kampung Kubang Depu, menerima anugerah berkenaan sempena sambutan Hari Warga Emas dan Hari Kanak-kanak Sedunia Peringkat Kebangsaan yang berlangsung di Dewan Wawasan dekat sini hari ini.

Hadiah berupa trofi, sijil serta wang tunai RM5,000 disampaikan Menteri Besar Kedah Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir.

Turut hadir di dalam sambutan itu adalah Menteri Pembangunan Wanita,Keluarga dan Masyarakat, Dato Seri Rohani Abdul Karim.

Bapa kanak-kanak itu, Mohd Shukri Mohamad Nor, 37, berkata, ketika kejadian pada 11.30 pagi 3 Ogos tahun lepas, Mohd Syawal yang baru berusia lima tahun, berjaya membawa keluar adiknya, Mohd Syaqir Mohd Shukri, 4, dari rumah mereka setelah menyedari api sedang marak di dalam bilik tidur.

Katanya, Mohd Syawal memaut adiknya lalu membawanya ke rumah nenek mereka yang terletak kira-kira 10 meter dari situ, sebelum berlari sejauh kira-kira satu kilometer untuk mencari Mohd Shukri.

Akibat kejadian itu keluarga Mohd Shukri tinggal sehelai sepinggang dan mengalami kerugian kira-kira RM28,000.

Mohd Shukri berkata, keluarganya sangat bernasib baik kerana mendapat sebuah rumah baharu hasil keprihatinan Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat Malaysia.

JOHOR BAHRU 13 Nov. - Jumlah tanah rizab Melayu di Johor meningkat sebanyak 432,000 hektar atau 22.8 peratus keluasan negeri setakat September tahun ini berbanding sebelum 1957.

Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin ketika berucap membentangkan Bajet Negeri 2015, beliau berkata, sebelum 1957, tanah rizab Melayu di Johor adalah 152,000 hektar atau lapan peratus daripada keluasan negeri.

"Oleh itu, yakin dan percayalah bahawa kepentingan orang Melayu, khususnya tanah rizab Melayu, tidak pernah dan tidak akan sesekali dipinggir dan digadaikan oleh kerajaan Barisan Nasional (BN) dalam usaha kita membangun dan memodenkan Johor," kata beliau hari ini.

Kerajaan negeri juga, kata beliau, membuat keputusan untuk tidak memperbaharui hak milik pajakan 78.4 hektar tanah di Kawasan Perindustrian Larkin, Johor Baharu.

Sebaliknya, kawasan terbabit akan diwartakan sebagai rizab Melayu secara berperingkat mengikut tarikh luput pajakan dan dijadikan kawasan penempatan orang Melayu. - BERNAMA
