    Jual Air Zam Zam Di Malaysia Boleh Didenda, Anda Mungkin Dipenjara

    Selaras dengan larangan Kerajaan Arab Saudi, Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) akan terus mengambil tindakan penguatkuasaan terhadap penjualan air zam zam.

    Ketua Pengarah KKM, Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah berkata, Kerajaan Arab Saudi hanya membenarkan pengedaran air zam zam secara percuma kepada jemaah haji dan umrah serta pelawat untuk kegunaan persendirian dalam kuantiti yang terhad semasa berlepas dari Arab Saudi.

    Tegasnya, penjualan air zam zam tidak dibenarkan di Malaysia, menurut laporan Astro Awani.

    “Selaras dengan ini, KKM melalui Bahagian Keselamatan dan Kualiti Makanan sedang mengambil dua tindakan penguatkuasaan terhadap penjualan air zam zam berdasarkan Seksyen 4(1)(f), Akta Makanan 1983.

    “Hasil penguatkuasaan yang telah dijalankan sejak tahun 2012 sehingga 31 Okt 2017 di seluruh negara, sejumlah air zam zam bernilai RM58,191.80 (S$19287) telah dirampas. KKM sedang meningkatkan tindakan penguatkuasaan ke atas penjualan air zam zam.

    “Di bawah Peraturan-Peraturan Makanan 1985, mana-mana orang yang disabitkan kesalahan menjual air zam zam boleh dikenakan denda tidak melebihi RM10,000.00 (S$3310) atau penjara tidak melebihi dua tahun,” katanya menerusi satu kenyataan media hari ini (9 Dis), seperti yang dipetik Astro Awani.

    Jelas beliau, air zam zam diperolehi dari bawah tanah dan dikategorikan sebagai air mineral semula jadi seperti termaktub di bawah Peraturan 360A, Peraturan-Peraturan Makanan 1985.

    “Pengimportan air mineral semula jadi memerlukan lesen punca air serta kelulusan dan pengesahan daripada pihak berkuasa geologi dan hidrologi dari negara pengeksport,” tambahnya, lapor Astro Awani.

  • Malaysia’s Prime Minister Najib Razak To Issue Statement On US Recognition Of Jerusalem

    Malaysia’s Prime Minister Najib Razak To Issue Statement On US Recognition Of Jerusalem

    MALAYSIA will make an official statement on the United States’ decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, a move that is certain to have repercussions in the Middle East.

    Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the Prime Minister would be making an announcement on the matter.

    He told reporters this after a 30-minute meeting with Hamas Political Bureau member Dr Maher Salah on the sidelines of the Umno general assembly here yesterday.

    Dr Maher said such a move would cause more concern among the Arabs and asked the Organi­sation of Islamic Cooperation to intervene.

    “This move is in contravention with international laws and the rights of the Palestinians. Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine and belongs to Islam.

    “I laud the Deputy Prime Min­ister’s stand on this issue,” he added.

    It was reported that US President Donald Trump would be declaring a formal recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move its embassy from Tel Aviv.

    Later yesterday, Dr Ahmad Zahid launched the Home Ministry’s booth at the Putra World Trade Centre for the assembly.

    The booth will offer services from all agencies under the ministry, including the police, Prisons Dep­artment, Immigration Depart­ment and National Registration Department.

    He also unveiled a 238-page book on the ministry’s achievements and performance since he became Home Minister.

    Dr Ahmad Zahid, who is also Umno vice-president, took time off to sit in debates at the Umno Youth, Wanita Umno and Puteri wings.

    Singer Sheila Majid Got into Trouble Because Of Her Tweet…

    Umno information chief Tan Sri Annuar Musa says that iconic singer Sheila Majid, who tweeted about the rising cost of living, was mistaken.

    The Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club portal reported Annuar as saying that much of what Sheila said was not true.

    “A lot of it is wrong, because this is not her field,” said Annuar.

    However, he said that he respected the views and responses of the rakyat and would have a positive attitude about it.

    “We must respect the voices out there, we must give them our attention, and the Government must be positive about it,” he said.

    On Tuesday, Sheila tweeted her disappointment about the rising cost of living which many Malaysians are facing.

    “Food is expensive, the ringgit is weak, the cost of living is high and jobs are scarce,” read part of her tweet.

    Sheila also said that many Malaysians want the Government to focus on getting the country back on track.

    Earlier Wednesday, Puteri Umno executive committee member Khaidhirah Abu Zahar took a jab at actress Fathia Latiff at the Umno annual general assembly here.

    “If she really wants to talk about the struggles of the people, then go on the ground like Puteri Umno. If she just wants to simply type words using her smartphone, then there’s no need,” said Khaidhirah.

    “There’s no need to meddle in government affairs,” Khaidhirah said in her speech at the assembly.

    In a recent Instagram post, Fathia had posted a tribute to former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, saying that his contributions to the country seemed to have been forgotten.

    Komentar: Hentikan Mengguna Agama Sebagai ‘Momok’ Untuk Tujuan Menakutkan Rakyat

    Menteri Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia, Datuk Seri Dr Salleh Said Keruak, menggesa masyarakat khususnya ahli-ahli politik agar berhenti menggunakan agama untuk tujuan menakutkan rakyat.

    Beliau berkata bahawa adalah malang apabila sesetengah anggota politik menggunakan agama sebagai momok untuk tujuan memecahbelahkan rakyat.

    Memetik keunikan di Sabah dan Sarawak, Dr Salleh berkata kedua-dua negeri tersebut tidak pernah berdepan masalah agama “tetapi kini sebilangan ahli politik cuba membangkitkan sentimen agama sebagai sebahagian strategi politik mereka”.

    “Ini bukan sahaja licik tetapi juga berbahaya. Malah (pemimpin veteran DAP (Parti Tindakan Demokratik)) Lim Kit Siang juga memperkatakan mengenai agama dalam catatan blog terbaru beliau,” kata Dr Salleh dalam catatan blog beliau hari ini (27 Nov).

    AHLI POLITIK ‘CETEK IDEA’

    Beliau menambah, banyak contoh dapat dilihat di seluruh dunia tentang apa yang berlaku apabila konflik agama dibangkitkan.

    “Mengapa kita mesti memisahkan umat Islam menjadi umat Islam yang moderat dan ekstrem dan seterusnya mengasingkan orang Islam dan bukan Islam? Hanya ahli politik yang cetek idea akan melakukan perkara ini.

    “Ia juga ironik apabila mereka yang melakukan pemisahan itu, merungut mengenai masalah tersebut dan berkata Malaysia perlu diselamatkan. Ia seperti ‘the fox offering to save the chickens from getting eaten by other foxes’ (Harapan diletakkan pada bahu seseorang tetapi akhirnya orang itu pula yang merosakkannya),” katanya.

    Dr Salleh juga menegaskan pembinaan negara tidak dapat dicapai dengan memisahkan rakyat.

    “Jadi mari kita dengar penyelesaian daripada mereka yang cuba memecahbelahkan Malaysia. Bercakap mengenai betapa teruknya pemisahan ini, tidak akan menyatukan negara. Ia hanya akan memisahkan rakyat Malaysia.

    “Kita terus mendengar mengenai masalah ini tanpa memberi penyelesaian. Dan mereka yang mengkritik itu sebenarnya yang bermasalah,” katanya.

  • Western Films Leading To Babies Born Out Of Wedlock According To PAS MP

    Western Films Leading To Babies Born Out Of Wedlock According To PAS MP

    Western films with elements of liberal and open lifestyles are contributing to the rise of babies born out of wedlock, claimed a PAS MP.

    Datuk Dr Khairuddin Aman Razali (PAS – Kuala Nerus) said the National Film Development Corporation Board (Finas) should tighten their censorship system to weed out films that promote a hedonistic lifestyle.

    “How well does Finas, in its censorship process, handle the issue of Western films with extreme sexual elements?

    “There are films rated 18SX which have sexual elements that are not extreme, but I fear the phenomenon of extreme films will contribute to more children born out of wedlock.

    “Western films have a tendency to normalise children born out wedlock, living together before marriage as well as atheism, which is not suited to our culture and norms,” he said during debates to the Budget 2018 allocation to the Communications and Multimedia Ministry in Parliament on Monday.

    Previously it was reported that the Health Ministry had recorded 18,000 teen pregnancies in 2014.
