  • Malaysia Akan Bentangkan Kertas Putih Untuk Memperincikan Ancaman Dari IS

    Malaysia Akan Bentangkan Kertas Putih Untuk Memperincikan Ancaman Dari IS

    KUALA LUMPUR: Ancaman pengganasan di Malaysia telah mencapai tahap baru di mana terdapat hubungan di antara militan asing dengan tempatan melalui media sosial yang telah membawa kepada pembiayaan dan dana untuk aktiviti keganasan yang lebih besar.

    Kini, militan asing cuba mempengaruhi parti politik tempatan melalui ahli-ahli mereka.

    Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, dijangka membentangkan Kertas Putih di Dewan Rakyat hari ini, yang akan memperincikan “ancaman sebenar” kumpulan militan Negara Islam (IS) dan lain-lain di rantau ini ke atas Malaysia, menurut laporan The Star semalam.

    Menteri Dalam Negeri Malaysia, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, berkata Kertas Putih itu akan menyentuh mengenai langkah yang dicadangkan bagi memerangi dan menghalang keganasan.

    “Ancaman itu adalah benar dan kami berharap ia (Kertas Putih) akan mewujudkan lebih kesedaran di antara kedua-dua belah pihak yang mempunyai jurang politik dan rakyat Malaysia secara keseluruhannya.

    “Jika mereka (militan IS) boleh membunuh umat Islam, mereka juga akan membunuh orang bukan Islam. Rakyat mesti sedar (mengenai hakikat ini) dan langkah berjaga-jaga perlu diambil,” kata Dr Ahmad Zahid lagi.

    Dr Ahmad Zahid berkata Datuk Najib akan juga menyentuh mengenai penglibatan warga Malaysia dalam sel pengganas dan perlunya meminda undang-undang sedia ada atau memperkenalkan undang-undang baru bagi memerangi pengganasan.

    Sambil menegaskan bahawa kementeriannya telah mengkaji pelbagai pilihan, beliau menambah:

    “Sama ada kita memperkukuhkan tujuh undang-undang sedia ada dengan meminda fasalnya atau mencadangkan Akta Anti Pengganasan sebagai langkah pencegahan.

    “Sekiranya diperkenalkan, Akta baru itu, akan melengkapi Akta Kesalahan Keselamatan (Langkah-Langkah Khas) 2012 dan Akta Pencegahan Jenayah,” jelasnya lagi.

    Kerajaan Malaysia pernah membentangkan Kertas Putih mengenai kumpulan Al-Ma’unah dan kejadian Baling melibatkan penyokong kumpulan agama.

    “Kali ini, ancaman asing adalah benar dan ancaman daripada dalam juga adalah benar,” tekan Dr Ahmad Zahid lagi. – The Star.

  • 3 More Malaysians Arrested For Link to ISIS

    3 More Malaysians Arrested For Link to ISIS

    KUALA LUMPUR — A man and two women were picked up by police last night (Nov 21) for allegedly being involved in terrorism, said Malaysia’s national police chief Khalid Abu Bakar.

    The inspector-general of police said the arrests were made in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor by the force’s counter-terrorism division.

    Mr Khalid, in a statement, said the three suspects aged between 28 and 34 were believed to be linked with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. (Isis).

    “The first suspect, a woman, is the wife of an earlier suspected terrorist charged in court on November 11,” Mr Khalid said.

    The second suspect was an event manager in Kuala Lumpur, while the male suspect was an executive assistant.

    “All three suspects are believed to have been involved witth ISIS via Facebook,” he said.

    Mr Khalid said the three were also found to have been involved in gathering funds, which was used to send Malaysians to join Isis in Syria.

    “All three have been arrested to facilitate investigations under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012,” Mr Khalid said.

    Yesterday, a third Malaysian was charged at the Sepang Sessions Court with supporting the ISIS terrorist group.

    Mohamad Fauzee Ahmad allegedly entered Syria between June 29 and Sep 18 to lend support to terror activities involving firearms and explosives.

    The 43-year-old was reportedly seen as advancing a religious struggle in Syria.

    If convicted, he could be sentenced to up to 30 years in jail, or face a fine and forfeiture of assets used in the commission of the offences under Section 130J(1)(b) of the Penal Code.

    Judge Nor Haffizah Mohd Salim reportedly set January 15 for mention. DPP Ishak Mohd Yusoff prosecuted the case.

    Fauzee is the third person to be arrested upon returning from Syria, where ISIS is operating.

    The other two arrested and charged were Muhammad Fauzi Misrak, 32, and Mohammad Na’Im Abd Rashid, 26.

    They were reportedly charged on Nov 11. Fauzi’s case is due for mention on Dec 19 while Na’Im’s case is on Dec 15.

    The duo had allegedly fought for ISIS between Dec 13 last year and July 14.

    They were arrested with 12 others between Oct 15 and Oct 17.

    On Tuesday, The Malaysian Insider reported that at least five ISIS militants had returned to Malaysia, but lack of proof was holding back police from arresting them.

    According to a senior intelligence source, under Sosma, there were a number of boxes which police needed to tick.

    “Getting statements from sources in the Middle East to confirm that a Malaysian citizen was there fighting alongside ISIS forces is insufficient,” the official said.

    “Police must build a strong case before a Malaysian suspect who fought alongside Isis forces in the Middle East can be charged in court here.”

    On Monday, Deputy Home Minister Datuk Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar told Parliament that Malaysian ISIS fighters were returning to spread militant ideology in the country.

    He said police checks showed that those who returned were not driven by disillusionment or the desire to surrender to the Malaysian authorities, but to influence and recruit others.

    “The police are monitoring and they know, those who opted to return are doing so because they want to influence other Malaysians to join their cause, regardless if they are Muslims or not.”

    39 Malaysians have been officially identified as being involved with Isis in Syria, whose aim is to set up an Islamic caliphate in the region.

    The New Straits Times, however, reported that there were 45 Malaysians in Syria and 15 in Iraq.

    It also reported that police may have difficulty in tracing exactly how many have returned as their departure from Malaysia to Syria was not properly tracked.

    Between January and June this year, police arrested 23 people in various parts of Malaysia over alleged links to the terror group.

    The Malaysians fighting alongside Isis forces in the Middle East were influenced to take up the struggle via social media, intelligence sources previously said.

    Some, like former Kedah PAS Youth information chief Lotfi Ariffin who was killed in Syria, had not only posted about his activities with the militants on Facebook, but had issued call-to-action messages, too.

    To date, five Malaysians have been killed in action in Syria. THE MALAYSIAN INSIDER

  • Man Detained In Malaysia For Burning Quran

    Man Detained In Malaysia For Burning Quran

    ALOR SETAR: Police detained a man over the discovery of several torn pages of the Quran believed to have been burned in a container at a food court near a market here, today.

    Kedah acting police chief Zakaria Yusof said the man was arrested at a supermarket in Mergong here, at 3pm yesterday.

    He said the man, whose personal details had not been ascertained, would be referred to the hospital for examination and treatment.

    “According to traders at the market, the man was often seen wandering in the market area and was also always seen burning papers (near a food court),” he said in a statement.

    Several torn pieces of pages from the Quran, which were burned, were found by a trader, after being informed by another individual, who then reported the matter to the police and the Kedah Islamic Religious Department.

    Earlier, at a media conference this evening before the man was apprehended, Zakaria said police suspected the culprit who had burned the Quran could be a deranged man but investigation was still ongoing.

    “It is hoped the public will not distort the issue for fear it will create communal misunderstanding.

    “If it was done with malicious intention we will take action under Section 298A of the Penal Code, for committing an act that could lead to disintegration of harmony and unity, feeling of dissatisfaction, prejudice based on religion, which carries a prison sentence of two to five years,” he said.

  • Inter-Racial Marriages In Malaysia Risk Harming “National Harmony”

    Inter-Racial Marriages In Malaysia Risk Harming “National Harmony”

    KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 19 — Marriages between Malaysians of different races risk harming “national harmony”, Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail said, noting that many such unions have resulted in bitter disputes over the religious statues of the couple’s offspring.

    The Attorney-General noted that apart from these legal battles, such marriages have also led to claims of “racial discrimination”

    The top lawyer added, however, that law reforms meant to solve such problems have yet to be approved.

    He said interracial marriages also created the “new conflict” between civil law and Shariah law on the issues of unilateral conversion of children and child custody disputes where only one spouse converts to Islam.

    “The increasing number of cases has also raised allegations of racial discrimination by the courts and authorities. The anguish to the families cannot be overstated and that is a fact.

    “In this regard, the failure of the converting spouses to resolve the family arrangements prior to conversion and in fact, attempting to use the different jurisdictions of the civil and Syariah courts to their advantage, jeopardizes not only family harmony but potentially national harmony,” the top government lawyer said according to his written speech from the ILKAP National Law Conference 2014 last week.

    Abdul Gani said the problem of enforcing conflicting orders from the civil courts and Shariah courts in such disputes then calls into question the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) and police’s integrity, adding that this would hamper their ability to effectively carry out their duties.

    Abdul Gani did not name any examples of such court cases, but there are two high-profile cases that have hit national headlines — the cases of non-Muslim mothers Indira Gandhi and Deepa Subramaniam, where both women’s Muslim convert ex-husbands ran off with their children.

    In both cases, the Muslim convert ex-husbands cited the Shariah court orders granting child custody to them when refusing to comply with the civil court’s child custody orders in favour of their former spouse.

    Despite recovery orders from the Ipoh High Court and Seremban High Court directing the police to act to find and return the abducted children to the non-Muslim mothers, the police have declined to take action and are now seeking the courts’ clarification instead.

    Abdul Gani said proposed amendments to three laws were mooted in 2009 to ensure that matters such as child custody and child maintenance would be decided by the court where the marriage was registered.

    “These amendments, however, remain pending,” he said, without elaborating further.

    He listed down the three laws of Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976, the Islamic Family Law (Federal Territories) Act 1984 and the Administration of Islamic Law (Federal Territories) Act 1993.

    Lawyers have argued that child custody matters for a marriage that was initially between two non-Muslims should be decided by the civil courts even if a spouse later converts to Islam.

    This is because a marriage that started out as a civil union should end or have any related issues ruled upon in the civil courts, instead of the Shariah courts for marriages between two Muslims, the lawyers said.
