Zahid Hamidi Orang Pertama Yang Perlu Ditahan & Didakwa Dibawah PCA

Majlis Peguam: Menteri KDN Boleh Didakwa Kerana Menghasut

Majlis Peguam mengecam Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi sebagai mengaibkan negara dan kerajaan ekoran pendedahan rakaman ucapan Menteri Dalam Negeri itu di Melaka oleh media semalam.

Majlis Peguam menegaskan tiga pengakuannya dalam ucapan tersebut adalah satu kesalahan serta tidak menghormati lunas undang-undang negara, iaitu mengenai arahan menembak tanpa beri amaran, mengakui pindaan Akta Pencegahan Jenayah (PCA) dibuat mengikut arahannya dan juga tahanan tanpa bicara selama dua tahun.

Presiden Majlis Peguam, Christopher Leong menyifatkan Ahmad Zahid sebagai tidak bertanggunjawab dan memalukan kerana bertindak melewati batas undang-undang.

"Majlis Peguam mengutuk keras kenyataan Menteri Dalam Negeri kerana ia menunjukkan sikapnya tidak menghormati undang-undang dan hak asasi manusia serta tidak menghormati debat yang berjalan di Parlimen.

"Kenyataan beliau memalukan dan menyebabkan negara dan kerajaan diaibkan," kata Leong dalam satu kenyataan hari ini.

Leong juga mengkritik Ahmad Zahid yang sehingga kini masih lagi gagal mengemukakan bukti kononnya pemansuhan akta drakonian sebagai punca peningkatan jenayah berat kebelakangan ini walaupun telah berjanji untuk bentang di Parlimen.

"Beliau gagal mengemukakan data bukti untuk menyokong hujahnya.

"Sebaliknya, beliau dilaporkan telah berpakat dengan Menteri Hal Ehwal Parlimen dan Ketua Polis Negara untuk meminda PCA," katanya.

Menurut Leong, tindakan Ahmad Zahid tersebut adalah suatu kesalahan berat dan boleh didakwa mengikut Akta Hasutan.

"Menteri Dalam Negeri nampaknya melampaui batas dan kemungkinan telah melakukan kesalahan dibawah Akta Hasutan," ujarnya lagi.

Leong juga berkata tindakan Ahmad Zahid menghalau wartawan daripada membuat liputan membuktikan beliau mengakui kesalahannya mengeluarkan kenyataan sedemikian, serta sanggup mengancam media untuk semata-mata memenuhi kehendaknya.

"Cubaannya untuk menutup mulut media adalah isyarat beliau mengakui kesalahan dalam kenyataannya," tambahnya lagi.

Semalam, media melaporkan, Ahmad Zahid semasa dalam satu Majlis Taklimat Keselamatan Bersama Pemimpin Masyarakat di Melaka telah bercakap mengenai beberapa isu sensitif antaranya melibatkan isu penjenayah masyarakat India serta mempertahankan kumpulan haram Melayu yang dikaitkan dengan aktiviti jenayah.

Dalam rakaman sepanjang 20 minit di Pusat Perdagangan Antarabangsa Melaka (MITC) di Ayer Keroh tersebut, Ahmad Zahid telah juga telah menghentam Timbalan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, P. Waythamoorthy kerana mengkritik pasukan polis susulan insiden tembakan lima penjenayah India di Pulau Pinang.

Ahmad Zahid juga secara bangga mengakui pindaan Akta PCA yang diluluskan baru-baru ini adalah cadangannya.

"Kita siasat, kita bawa ke mahkamah. Kalau tidak ada bukti atau tidak cukup bukti, sekurang-kurangnya dua tahun penahanan. Itu undang-undang baru saya. Tiada kompromi," katanya dipetik berkata dalam laman portal berita online.

Pindaan akta kontroversi PCA yang diluluskan baru-baru ini di Parlimen akan membenarkan penahanan tanpa bicara sehingga dua tahun, serta boleh dilanjutkan sehingga selepas berakhir tempoh tersebut.

Pindaan tersebut diluluskan oleh Dewan Rakyat selepas mendapat undi 115 daripada ahli Parlimen Barisan Nasional. -TMI

Human Rights Watch wants Najib to remove Zahid for disregarding right to life and racial claims. Also, DAP's Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng lodges a police report against Zahid over his remarks.
PETALING JAYA: The government should act to ensure that the Home Minister’s support for the police to “shoot first” when apprehending criminal suspects is not police policy, Human Rights Watch said today.

Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi made remarks in a speech in Malacca on Oct 6, 2013, that showed gross indifference for the right to life and the rights of the country’s minority populations.

In his speech, Zahid claimed that 28,000 of some 40,000 gang members in the country were Indian Malaysians who prey on the majority ethnic Malay population.

In an audio recording made public, he was quoted as saying said, “What is the situation of robbery victims, murder victims during shootings? Most of them are our Malays. Most of them are our race. I think that the best way is we no longer compromise with them. There is no need to give them any warning. If [we] get the evidence, [we] shoot first.”

Human Rights Watch called on Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak to remove the Home Minister for the discriminatory remarks which disregard the right to life.

“Home Minister Zahid is Malaysia’s top law enforcement official, yet he is promoting the illegal use of lethal force,” said Phil Robertson, deputy Asia director at Human Rights Watch.

“Prime Minister Najib should be clear he won’t tolerate such statements or unlawful practices, which show a callous disregard for basic rights.”

Various incidents suggest that Malaysian police have at times adopted a “shoot first” policy, Human Rights Watch said. For example, in a predawn raid in Penang on Aug 19, police shot and killed five ethnic Indians who police alleged were secret society members.

Inspector General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar announced the men opened fire after police ordered them to open the door, an account that was contradicted by P Waythamoorthy, deputy minister in the Prime Minister’s Office. Photos of the bodies suggest that the men were shot at point-blank range.

In April 2012, police in Cheras fatally shot three men who police alleged had robbed a jewelry store. The three, Noor Azman Othman, Aidi Noor Hafizal Othman, and Saufi Ahmad, had multiple wounds, particularly to their heads, with Noor Azman shot a total of eight times.Contrary to the police accounts, a second postmortem strongly suggested the wounds were from shots at a close range with a downward bullet trajectory, indicating the men were either kneeling or lying on the ground when they were killed.

A “shoot first” policy by law enforcement personnel violates international human rights law and standards.

Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which is widely accepted as reflecting customary international law, states that “everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person.”

Principle 1 of the United Nations Principles on the Effective Prevention and Investigation of Extra-legal, Arbitrary and Summary Executions provides that “executions shall not be carried out under any circumstances,” nor may “[e]xceptional circumstances… be invoked as a justification of such executions.”

The UN Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement states in article 3 that law enforcement officials should “use force only when strictly necessary and to the extent required for the performance of their duty.”

Principle 9 of the UN Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials provides that “intentional lethal use of firearms may only be made when strictly unavoidable in order to protect life.”

“Killings of criminal suspects by Malaysian police suggest that Zahid’s disturbing remarks may already reflect the practice of some law enforcement officials,” Robertson said. “Too many people have died in a hail of police bullets for Malaysia’s leaders to continue to sit on their hands.”

In another development, DAP’s Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng has lodged a police report against Zahid over his remarks.

In the report lodged at the Jinjang police station last night, Lim wants the Home Minister to be investigated immediately, and arrested if necessary. -FMT

ULASAN GB

Lebih berkesan jika Ahmad Zahid Hamidi ditahan di bawah PCA yang bakal diluluskan oleh Dewan Negara nanti. Biar beliau menjadi mangsa pertama kezaliman Akta yang dicadangkannya sendiri. Dua tahun tahan tanpa bicara sementara menunggu siasatan polis selesai. Jika tak selesai tahanannya boleh ditambah lagi

Hukum kebenaran dan keadilan menetapkan, perencanaan jahat itu akan kembali kepada si perancananya sendiri.
Y&akinlah!
