    Sultan Kelantan Dipilih Yang Di-Pertuan Agong Yang Ke 15

    Dalam pertemuan Mesyuarat Majlis Raja-Raja Ke-242 yang diadakan hari ini, agenda utama yang digariskan adalah pemilihan Yang di-Pertuan Agong ke-15.

    Mesyuarat Majlis Raja-Raja Khas tersebut dipengerusikan oleh Sultan Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar bertembat di Istana Negara, Kuala Lumpur.

    Keputusan daripada perbincangan dalam Mesyuarat Majlis Raja-Raja Ke-242 masih lagi belum dikeluarkan secara rasmi, tetapi terdapat perkhabaran yang menyatakan Sultan Kelantan, Sultan Muhammad V akan mengambil alih sebagai YDP Agong Malaysia yang baharu menggantikan Tuanku Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah yang akan berakhir 12 Disember ini.

     Keputusan tersebut berdasarkan sistem penggiliran yang diamalkan oleh Majlis Raja-Raja dalam memilih Yang di-Pertuan Agong Negara sejak dahulu lagi.

    Terdapat beberapa faktor yang akan dipertimbangkan oleh Majlis Raja-Raja menerusi undi rahsia bagi menentukan pengganti seterusnya seperti baginda yang dilantik berkenan untuk menjadi Yang di-Pertuan Agong dan tidak mengalami kelemahan atau ketidakupayaan mental.

    Selain itu, baginda yang dilantik adalah merupakan raja yang berada di kedudukan teratas, mendapat sokongan sekurang-kurangnya lima raja lain serta bukan seseorang yang telah memegang jawatan Yang di-Pertuan Agong selama dua penggal berturut-turut.

    Mengikut kebiasaan sebelum proses pemilihan berlangsung, Penyimpan Mohor Besar Raja-Raja terlebih dahulu akan menanyakan raja yang seterusnya dalam senarai giliran mengenai kesediaannya untuk dipilih sebagai Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

    Dalam masa yang sama, Sultan Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah dipilih sebagai Timbalan Yang di-Pertuan Agong mulai 13 Dis 2016 untuk tempoh lima tahun.

  • Kelantan Anjur Acara Bina Badan Patuh Syariah “Pertandingan Badan Cantik Mr Awang Selamat”

    Kelantan Anjur Acara Bina Badan Patuh Syariah “Pertandingan Badan Cantik Mr Awang Selamat”

    DENGAN kebanyakkan pertandingan bina badan membabitkan golongan lelaki lebih kepada mendedahkan aurat dan bahagian-bahagian badan tertentu yang tidak dibenarkan mengikut Islam, namun lain pula bagi negeri Kelantan apabila mengambil pendekatan berbeza dengan menganjurkan acara sukan itu yang berkonsepkan patuh syariah.

    Menariknya mengenai pertandingan itu yang diberi gelaran, ‘Pertandingan Badan Cantik Mr Awang Selamat’ yang dianjurkan pada 27 Ogos lalu adalah, peserta yang menyertai pertandingan berkenaan dilihat memakai seluar melepasi paras lutut dan mengenakan pemakaian kain tambahan pada pinggang.

    Menerusi status yang dimuat naik ustaz Mohd Asri Mat Daud di laman Facebooknya pada Sabtu, acara berkonsepkan patuh syariah itu adalah julung kali diadakan di negeri Kelantan dan telah mewajibkan peserta mematuhi syarat untuk menutup aurat.

    “Mr. Awang Selamat adalah jolokan kepada suatu nama baru dalam dunia sukan bina badan patuh syariah, ianya hanya di Kelantan.

    “Cara berpakaian mestilah menutup aurat dengan seluar di bawah lutut dan pusat yang tertutup dengan kain ala pakaian pendekar Awang Selamat yang perkasa suatu ketika dahulu,” katanya dalam entri tersebut.

    Katanya, acara tersebut telah mendapat sokongan kerajaan negeri Kelantan, selain turut dipuji Setiausaha Persekutuan Bina Badan Malaysia (MBBF), Lt. Komander (B) Kamaruzaman Kadir, selaku ketua juri bagi pertandingan tersebut.

    “Beliau menyatakan bahawa gaya dan produk bina badan ini akan menjadi produk peringkat kebangsaan dan seterusnya boleh diketengahkan ke peringkat antarabangsa.

    “Mr. Awang Selamat turut disokong oleh pihak Kerajaan Negeri sebagai satu produk pelancongan sempena Tahun Melawat Kelantan 2016,” katanya.

    Pada pertandingan itu, gelaran Mr. Awang Selamat telah dimenangi Zulkifli Ghani dari Pasir Mas yang juga merupakan ahli Minda Evolusi Rempit Anak Kelantan (MERAK).

    Segelintir pengguna Facebook memuji usaha kerajaan negeri Kelantan, di bawah pentadbiran parti PAS yang memberi sokongan dan membenarkan acara berkonsepkan patuh syariah itu diadakan di negeri berkenaan.

    “Tahniah kerajaan Negeri Kelantan kerana tolong fikir Kejohanan Bina Badan yang patuh syariah,” tulis pengguna Facebook, Merak Newfort Tuff.

    “Tahniah kerajaan Islam PAS Kelantan telah berjaya anjurkan sebuah model sukan bina badan yang patuh syariah. Sukan bina badan tidak salah, yang salah dedah aurat. Alterntif sebegini (konsep patuh syariah) selalunya ditakuti dan dicemburi mereka yang memusuhi Islam,” tambah Glock Mamat.

    Bagaimanapun, ada juga dalam kalangan pengguna Facebook mempersoalkan konsep pertandingan tersebut yang mendakwa peserta masih gagal menutup sepenuhnya aurat mereka, selain mempersoalkan kehadiran golongan wanita pada acara tersebut.

    Perdebatan mengenai aurat lelaki dan hukum menyertai acara bina badan telah dijelaskan oleh Penceramah terkenal, Ustaz Azhar Idrus.

    Memetik kenyataan beliau dalam rakaman Youtube, Azhar berkata hukum menyertai acara tersebut adalah haram sekiranya ia kerap disertai, namun jika berkonsepkan Islam, ia dibenarkan.

    “Jika dibuat mengikut cara Islam, ia dibolehkan. Acara bina badan lelaki, dimana golongan perempuan tidak boleh menyaksikan acara tersebut, (dan peserta) lelaki memakai seluar (menutup bahagian) lutut sampai ke pusat, atas boleh dibuka (didedahkan,” katanya dalam rakaman tersebut.

  • Proposed Kelantan Cinema, Its First In 26 Years, Sparks Protests, Excitement

    Proposed Kelantan Cinema, Its First In 26 Years, Sparks Protests, Excitement

    The Kelantan Youth wing of opposition Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS) has delivered a memorandum of protest against the opening of the first cinema in the east coast state since the Islamist party took over in 1990, but it is unclear what exactly it is rallying against.

    The memorandum submitted last week is believed to be against Paragon Cinema which was supposed to open this month at the KB Mall in Kota Baru, but the cineplex’s launch is still on hold as its operators await licence approval from the local municipal council and the Kelantan state government.

    However, the PAS-led state government has denied receiving any licence application from any cinema operators so far, despite a posting on the mall’s official Facebook page claiming that Paragon’s doors will open this month.

    “There has been no application made at all as of this moment,” Kelantan’s local government, housing, youth and sports committee chairman Abdul Fattah Mahmood told Malay Mail Online when contacted on Monday (July 18).

    However, he refused to comment when asked about the status of Paragon Cinema, which was reportedly nearly completed.

    PAS Kelantan Youth Chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari, who led the protest, told Malay Mail Online on Monday that he was afraid the opening of cinemas would cause the state government to deviate from its strict rulings on entertainment outlets.

    “We asked for the government to be stricter with the enforcement of the enactment if they are going to allow it,” he said.

    “We are worried that it won’t follow the enactment at all and this might lead to problems in the future.”

    KB Mall’s leasing executive Mohd Ashrul confirmed the plan to open a cinema is still in the pipelines, but said an opening date has yet to be set as no licence has been issued so far.

    “The construction is still on-going. There is no actual date on the opening yet,” he told Malay Mail Online on Monday.

    When asked for elaboration on the licence application, Mr Mohd Ashrul revealed that the mall is still negotiating with Paragon Cinema’s top management about adhering to the strict restrictions set by the state authorities.

    “About the licence, we are still negotiating on the application details. We are waiting for an answer from the top management,” he added, but refused to confirm whether an application has been lodged.

    Since PAS took over Kelantan in 1990, several cinema outlets including Rex, Odeon and Lido were closed down as they did not adhere to the Entertainment Control Enactment 1998.

    PAS vice-president Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah, who is also Kelantan’s Deputy Chief Minister, told The Star over the weekend that the state is willing to consider the return of cinemas, even after the staunch protest from PAS Youth wing.

    Mr Mohd Amar said however cinema operators would still be subjected to stricter guidelines which include gender-segregated seatings and restricted screenings during Muslim daily prayer times.

    The Paragon Cinema complex, said to offer eight screening halls, stoked the excitement of Kelantan folks after its opening was announced on KB Mall’s Facebook page. The Facebook post has since been deleted.

    According to Mr Mohd Ashrul, the cinema is a joint-venture between the mall operators and an outside investor looking to open the first cinema there, where entertainment outlets are a thorny topic. 
Meanwhile, PAS’ Youth Wing on Monday objected to a concert by Selena Gomez in Shah Alam next week, claiming that the “sexy” American pop singer taints the Muslim month of celebration.

    The Islamist party wing’s missionary bureau chairman Hafez Sabri said Ms Gomez’s concert on July 25 coincides with the 20th day of Syawal, the month of Aidilfitri.

    “The appearance of the American born artist who has been synonymous with a sexy appearance would tarnish the nobleness of the month of Syawal that is celebrated with gratitude and penitence by Muslims … (It) promotes the culture of hedonism among the younger generations in this country,” he said in a statement.

  • Four Take PAS’ Hudud To Court

    Four Take PAS’ Hudud To Court

    Four individuals are seeking to stop PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang and Parliament from tabling a Bill to amend the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965 at any Parliament sitting.

    Mansoor Saat, Azira Aziz, Hasbeemaputra Abu Bakar and Hazwany Jamaluddin want the defendants to retract their plan or be prevented from continuing the discussions over the proposed amendments at any of its sessions.

    The injunction application, filed last Thursday, is fixed for case management at a High Court here on June 12, said their lawyer Siti Kasim.

    Hadi, Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia, his deputies Datuk Ismail Mohamed Said and Datuk Ronald Kiandee and secretary Datuk Roosme Hamzah have been named defendants.

    The plaintiffs also filed a main suit on June 4 naming the same parties as defendants.

    In the main lawsuit, they are seeking for a declaration that if the amendments were approved then it would be unlawful, invalid and in contradiction with various Articles of the Federal Constitution, which among others guarantee on liberty of the person, equality and protection against retrospective criminal laws.

    Among others, they want to get a declaration that the tabling of the amendment by Hadi at any Parliament sittings would be a breach of the terms of Pakatan Rakyat’s common policy framework Buku Jingga agreed on Dec 19, 2010.

    They are also applying to get any related relief from the court.

    In an affidavit-in-support of their main suit, their representative Mansoor, 61, said that Hadi had on March 18 given a letter to the Dewan Rakyat secretary to table a private members bill over the
    proposed amendment to the said Act at a Parliament sitting.

    Mansoor said he believed that the attempts to amend the Act was unconstitutional.

    He said any approval by the Dewan Rakyat speaker and his deputies for the Bill to be discussed by parliamentarians and subsequent approval of the proposed law would violate their rights.

    He said they would have to face different punishment from other non-Muslim Malaysians under the proposed amendments, reflecting that they will not enjoy equal rights like others.

    Besides that, he said that it will have a tendency to effect on the jurisdiction of the high court (superior courts) and syariah court (inferior courts).

    He said that certain new provisions were wrong in law, confusing and may be used to upgrade the jurisdiction of the syariah court.

    He said he believed that Hadi’s action was a breach of promise made to his voters.

    Asked by reporters here, Siti said that the main suit has been fixed for case management at a High Court here on June 18.

  • Lions XII Not Woried About Poor Head-to-Head Record With Kelantan

    Lions XII Not Woried About Poor Head-to-Head Record With Kelantan

    The LionsXII may have won just once in seven meetings with their Malaysian FA Cup opponents Kelantan, but they are unfazed by the record going into Saturday’s final.

    Speaking at a press conference at Kuala Lumpur’s Bukit Jalil National Stadium on Friday afternoon, LionsXII coach Fandi Ahmad was all smiles and flashed the thumbs-up sign when asked about Kelantan’s dominance in their encounters.

    He said emphatically: “We will make sure our victory happens. (The head-to-head record) is not so good but we will make it happen.”

    Since the LionsXII joined Malaysian football competition in 2012, their sole victory against Kelantan came in a 1-0 home win during their triumphant 2013 Malaysian Super League (MSL) season.

    This year, Fandi’s men lost 0-2 in Kota Baru in their opening MSL match, but Fandi will be employing tighter marking to neutralise the Red Warriors.

    Said the former Singapore captain: “In these situations, we have to go man-to-man. Kelantan has good wingers and good foreigners. We will have to try to stop before the supply of balls to the forwards starts.”

    Meanwhile, Kelantan coach Azraai Khor played down suggestions that the Red Warriors are the favourites, saying: “The LionsXII are a future national team and have a few national players in their team.

    “The final is a different game (from the league match). It is a different match, different stadium and different environment. At the end of the 90 minutes, we want to be winners, that is the objective.”
