NST Menjual Sampah Sebagai Permata - Husam

Wartawan NST, Shuhada Elis and Nik Imran Abdullah, sudah menjadi 'saya' dan 'hadhir' bersama ketika kononnya saya berjumpa Tok Guru untuk memberi kata dua pada Selasa lalu. Saya tertanya-tanya, ada tak aku jumpa Tok Guru Selasa??

Mereka berdua 'tahu' semua butir percakapan dalam 'pertemuan' itu. Tok Guru kata tak ada, NST kata ada. Saya?

Saya menanya diri saya semula. Adakah kami pernah berbincang seperti dilaporkan? Memberi syarat itu dan ini dan mengungut itu dan ini? Husam kah itu atau siapa?

Atau apa yang ada di keyboard wartawan itu dimasukkan ke dalam mulut kami kononnya saya atau Tok Guru berkata seperti itu? Ahh.., jangan-jangan ada orang tertelan salah pil lalu khayalannya turun atas lembaran?

Bila dongeng dimasukkan sebagai laporan berita, NST menjual sampah sebagai permata.

Tidak hairan ada orang berkata, zaman ini adalah zaman maklumat, tetapi sedikit sekali kebenarannya. 'Info' telah digaul bagi menampal ruang-ruang imiginasi penulis kononnya membentuk sebuah persembahan 'berita' mengikut apa yang mereka selerakan. Kebenaran bukan ukuran dalam abad ini.

Islam sejak dulu menekankan 'kesahihan'. Pembawa berita juga mesti 'muttaqin'.

Berita memang penting, kerana itu 'Nabi' membawa makna 'orang yang mempunyai berita'.

Penulis berita bukan sahaja akan mendapat upah dan gaji, promotion dan bonus, malah catatan Rakib dan Atid dalam sebuah 'hard disc catitan diri' untuk sebuah perbicaraan agung. Mahsyar.

Bukankah kalau berita itu tidak ada nilai kebenaran, ia menurun kepada 'berita palsu'. Lazimnya ia dikaitkan dengan motif seperti: adu domba, fitnah atau membawa agenda perpecahan, permusuhan, pergolakan, character assassination, political isolation, dan menumpaskan lawan.

Menjelang pilihanraya umum lalu, NST telah pun melakukan perkara yang sama ke atas saya. Kes saman saya ke atas NST itu akan dijalankan awal tahun 2010.

NST secara bersendiri telah menerbitkan permohonan maaf tanpa persetujuan saya dalam kes itu. Dan sedikit 'saguhati' yang saya minta peguam saya menolaknya secara baik kerana rasanya harga diri mana-mana insan tidaklah semurah itu....

Hari ini, NST mahu saya menyamannya sekali lagi dengan sekali lagi 'menggoreng berita'. Banyak 'It was understood that....' dijadikan sandaran apa yang hendak 'digoreng' oleh NST.

Bukan kerana ruang bicara tertutup sama sekali dan saman sahaja bahasa saya dengan media. Bukan begitu.

Sesuatu yang salah yang berulang-ulang memerlukan didikan berterusan dan pertahanan diri bagi mangsa yang lemah seperti saya hanyalah mahkamah. Apa lagi, kalau NST ada motif dan agendanya dan sanggup menanggung risiko dengan cuba mengeruhkan air untuk menangkuk debu dan pasir kalau pun tidak ikan yang enak dagingnya. -Husam Musa


Husam: They go or I'll quit

KUALA LUMPUR: Kelantan Pas deputy commissioner Datuk Husam Musa appears to be entangled in the ongoing crisis in the state party leadership.

It was understood that Husam had stated his intention to relinquish all party and government positions if Menteri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat was suspicious of him.

Nik Aziz, it was learnt, had rejected Husam's offer to resign but the Tok Guru's blue-eyed boy then turned around and gave him an ultimatum.

Sources close to the menteri besar told the New Straits Times that Husam, who is also a state executive council member, had told Nik Aziz that he would only stay on if the Kelantan Menteri Besar Incorporated (PMBK) chief executive officer, Ariffahmi Abdul Rahman, and two state executive councillors relinquished their posts.

Ariffahmi is Nik Aziz's son-in-law who is being investigated by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission for alleged abuse of power.

"Last Tuesday, Husam met Nik Aziz and he wanted to resign but they got very emotional and both of them cried.

"And since Nik Aziz had asked him to stay on, Husam demanded that Ariffahmi and the two executive council members step down, or he would have to go," the source said without naming the two executive councillors.

The conditions set by Husam were purportedly due to the recent crisis in PMBK involving Ariffahmi.

The issue heated up when the former PMBK corporate liaison officer Syed Azidi Syed Abdul Aziz was sacked for allegedly lodging a report with MACC over the mismanagement of PMBK and for conspiring with a Barisan Nasional assemblyman.

However, it was not known why Husam demanded the resignation of the two state executive council members.

"Husam claimed that there was a conspiracy to remove him from the state government.

"There are people in the opposition and even in Pas who see him as a threat because he doesn't tolerate any hanky-panky in the party," said the source.

An online news portal recently reported Husam as saying that he was fully aware of the conspiracy against him and of the efforts to drive a wedge between him and Nik Aziz, who is also Pas spiritual adviser.

He denied rumours that Nik Aziz was considering removing him from the state administration following the actions by Syed Azidi, his former aide of three years, who was openly "attacking" Ariffahmi through his blog and the media.

In Kota Baru, Nik Aziz said he would not allow Husam to step down because of his capability and wisdom, even if the latter had asked to resign from his post.


"I have not mentioned this before for fear of hurting the feelings of other exco members but Husam has brought many benefits to Kelantan with his ideas.

"This boy is smart, has wide experience and is far-sighted. Allah created him not only for Kelantan but for Malaysia. Even if he has requested (to resign), I will not allow it," he said at a press conference in his office yesterday.

Nik Aziz also confirmed that Husam met him a few days ago, but only to inform him that he was advised by a doctor to seek further treatment for a spinal chord related ailment.
