Usaha pihak pendakwaan (DPP) melengah-lengahkan kes pendakwaan fitnah terhadap Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim merupakan tindakan yang zalim. Sewaktu Anwar dituduh di Mahkamah Sesyen di hadapan Hakim Puan Komathy, pihak pembelaan dan Mahkamah telah siap bersedia untuk perbicaraan. Namun pihak pendakwa mengemukakan sijil di bawah S. 418A, bagi memindahkan kes ke Mahkamah Tinggi atas alasan yang remeh.
Pihak DPP memberi dalih bodoh, kononnya Anwar adalah seorang yang berprofil tinggi, atas tujuan menjaga keselamatan awam (sedangkan kedua-dua Mahkamah terletak di Kompleks Mahkamah Jalan Duta) serta kes ini melibatkan isu-isu teknikal seperti DNA. Meskipun, yang hendak dijaga hanyalah keselamatan kerajaan Barisan Nasional dan undang-undang tidak pernah memberikan layanan yang berbeza atas dasar profil individu. Tambahan pula, Mahkamah Sesyen lebih berpengalaman dalam mengendalikan hal-hal teknikal. Misalnya sebahagian besar kes-kes melibatkan jenayah seksual didengar di Mahkamah Sesyen dan bukan di Mahkamah Tinggi.
Keputusan DPP untuk memindahkan kes ini datang dari Peguam Negara, Tan Sri Gani Patail, orang yang terlibat dalam konspirasi kes pendakwaan terdahulu. Malah Gani Patail juga berdepan dengan tuduhan jenayah memalsukan keterangan. Hal ini diperakui oleh bekas Ketua Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah (CID) Polis Kuala Lumpur, Datuk Mat Zain Ibrahim merangkap pegawai penyiasat dalam kes mata lebam Anwar 1998. Gani Patail telah memalsukan keterangan untuk menutup insiden mata lebam Anwar. Cukup jelas tujuan perpindahan mahkamah ini berniat jahat.
Sudah tentu Anwar akan mengarahkan peguam-peguam beliau untuk mendapat satu perbicaraan yang lebih adil dan membuat permohonan membatalkan sijil S.418A.
Hakim Mahkamah Sesyen, Puan Komathy telah bersetuju dengan hujahan pembelaan ini. Beliau telah membuat perintah mahkamah menolak keabsahan Sijil S.418A . Ini kerana ia ditandatangani oleh Tan Sri Gani Patail, orang yang tidak harus terlibat dalam pendakwaan ini.
Tindakan pihak pendakwaan merayu kepada Mahkamah tinggi menunjukkan pihak mereka cuba melengah-lengahkan kes ini.
Kemudiannya, Mahkamah Rayuan mengekalkan keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi atas alasan hanya Peguam Negara yang berkuasa menandatangani sijil S.418A . Anwar dan pasukan peguam beliau terpaksa menerima keputusan dan hadir ke Mahkamah Tinggi.
Mahkamah Tinggi telah menetapkan tarikh bicara dan sekali lagi kedua-dua pihak telah bersetuju dengan tarikh-tarikh tersebut.
Walaubagaimanapun pihak DPP telah dengan sengaja melengah-lengahkan penyerahan dokumen-dokumen kepada pihak pembelaan.
Penyerahan dokumen menjadi wajib dibawah prosedur Kanun Keseksaan. Tetapi pihak DPP hanya menghantar sebahagian dokumen saja. Malah pihak pembelaan telah menulis beberapa kali kepada pihak Pendakwaan untuk menyerahkan kesemua dokumen yang perlu. Namun mereka enggan berbuat demikian.
Motif tindakan tidak profesional pihak pendakwaan ini cukup diragui. Anwar tidak harus duduk diam tanpa jaminan hak beliau untuk mendapatkan satu perbicaraan yang adil dicabar.
Justeru menjadi amat wajar, bilamana para peguam Anwar terpaksa memohon kepada Mahkamah untuk tidak menyerahkan kesemua dokumen yang perlu bagi penyediaan pembelaan. Ini adalah tindakan yang waras dilakukan oleh mana-mana tertuduh untuk menjamin keadilannya.
Apabila permohonan penyerahan dokumen ditetapkan untuk pendengaran, Peguam Kanan Tuan Haji Sulaiman yang mengetuai pasukan peguam Anwar menarik diri kerana beliau telah jatuh sakit. Beliau dimasukkan ke hospital. Tetapi Hakim tidak membenarkan Anwar menangguhkan kes untuk mendapatkan Peguam Kanan yang baru. Ketua Pendakwaan, Datuk Yusof Zainal Abiden sendiri telah mengesahkan dengan Hospital Kuala Lumpur bahawa Tuan Hj Sulaiman memang sakit.
Menuduh Tuan Hj Sulaiman dengan sengaja menarik diri merupakan suatu fitnah yang kejam dan zalim kerana beliau telah dirawat diwad hospital selama 2 minggu!
Para peguam dalam pasuan pembelaan tanpa melengahkan masa terpaksa meneruskan permohonan tersebut.
Menjadi kebiasaan, selalunya Mahkamah akan membenarkan penangguhan kepada pembelaan atas sebab yang munasabah seperti Peguam sakit. Anehnya, Anwar mendapat layanan yang berbeza.
Hakim Mahkamah Tinggi pula bersetuju dengan hujahan pihak pembelaan dan memerintahkan pihak pendakwa untuk menyerahkan dokumen yang dipohon. Tetapi pihak Pendakwa enggan berbuat demikian. Malah pihak DPP membuat rayuan memohon untuk menggantung keputusan Mahkamah sehingga selesai keputusan di Mahkamah Rayuan. Kini Rayuan bakal didengar pada 23 Oktober 2009. Bahawasanya, pihak pendakwaanlah yang menangguhkan perbicaraan.
Keengganan pihak pendakwa menyerahkan dokumen-dokumen kepada pembelaan menunjukkan ada sesuatu perkara yang ditakuti dan ingin disembunyikan.
Pihak pendakwaan tidak menyerahkan senarai saksi kepada pihak pembelaan. Walhal, menjadi suatu amalan biasa di dalam mana-mana kes perbicaraan jenayah yang lain. Anwar Ibrahim tidak harus duduk diam dan menunggu sehingga satu lagi sabitan dibuat terhadap beliau. Pertuduhan ini hanyalah ulang tayang peristiwa dan konspirasi paling jahat ke atas beliau.
Di sini mari kita perhatikan individu-individu yang jelas mempunyai motif politik dalam membuat fitnah yang kononnya Anwar melengah-lengah kes ini :-
- Peguam Hasnal Rezua Marican sebenarnya telah memberi pandangan tidak profesional kepada Utusan dengan hasad prasangka keji terhadap Anwar. Hasnal, bekas ketua pemuda Umno Selayang, merupakan seorang ahli UMNO yang setia aktif. Hasnal sendiri pernah meminta penangguhan bagi pihak anakguam-anakguam beliau bagi kes-kes yang diwakili beliau. Beliau juga merupakan peguam bagi Ezam yang telah beberapa kali memohon penangguhan bagi kes-kes perhimpunan haram Ezam dari Mahkamah. Kes-kes tersebut ditangguh selama 10 tahun!
- Tan Sri Abu Zahar Ujang, Presiden Persatuan Peguam Muslim, merangkap Presiden Majlis Bekas Wakil Rakyat Malaysia (Mubarak) – kedua-dua Persatuan yang pro-UMNO dan anti-Anwar ini tidak memberi pandangan secara waras tapi penuh dengan syak wasangka dan tidak adil. Peliknya Presiden persatuan-persatuan ini tidak pula mempersoalkan kelewatan pertuduhan Qazaf terhadap Saiful di Mahkamah Syariah. Sehingga ke hari ini, ia langsung tidak dipedulikan. Mereka tidak mempercayai proses perundangan Syariah di Malaysia yang membenarkan Anwar membuat aduan fitnah di Mahkamah Syarie. Tan Sri Abu Zahar Ujang juga adalah ahli Lembaga Disiplin UMNO dan merupakan bekas calon UMNO.
- Lokman Noor Adam dan Roslan Kassim, bekas ahli PKR yang membelot daripada perjuangan reformasi. Kedua mereka menghadapi pertuduhan menyertai perhimpunan haram di Mahkamah Majistret. Mereka paling kerap tidak hadir ke Mahkamah tanpa alasan yang munasabah. Malah mereka selalu meminta penangguhan. Mereka tergolong dalam kelompok orang yang pernah keluar UMNO lantas merangkak balik kepada UMNO dan menyalak kerana duit!
- Chandra Muzaffar, seorang yang menyamar menjadi kononnya intelektual, bermuka-muka dan bersifat lalang. Komen-komen beliau hanya menjurus kepada satu tujuan khusus untuk menyerang Anwar, dengan mendapat imbuhan lumayan, seperti kurniaan jawatan pengerusi penaung Yayasan 1 Malaysia.
Akhirnya ulasan Profesor Salleh Buang, seorang pakar perundangan dibuat sembarangan tanpa hati-hati meneliti fakta. Beliau ikut menuduh Anwar membuat helah melengah-lengahkan kes dengan membuat permohonan ala peguam-peguam di Amerika. Undang-undang di Malaysia sendiri membenarkan mana-mana tertuduh membuat pelbagai permohonan untuk menjamin hak beliau. Tidak perlulah merujuk kepada Amerika bagi tujuan ini. Misalan, permohonan mendapatkan dokumen sangat jelas dan termaktub di dalam Kanun Prosedur Jenayah, iaitu Seksyen 5, 51, 51A. Perlembagaan Persekutuan menjamin seseorang tertuduh itu berhak mendapat perbicaraan yang adil.
Biarpun tidak ada bukti jolokan (penetrasi) langsung ke dalam dubur Saiful, (dan ini berdasarkan sekurang-kurangnya laporan 4 doktor termasuk 3 dari HKL!) – suatu elemen wajib yang harus wujud untuk mendakwa kesalahan, pihak DPP tetap meneruskan kes ini. Sepatutnya kes ini wajib dibuang saja. Pihak yang dituduh wajib menikmati hak untuk mendapatkan kesemua dokumen bagi penyediaan pembelaan.
Akhbar Utusan sebagai lidah UMNO tambah mengapi-apikan fitnah kononnya Anwar sengaja melengahkan kes pertuduhan. Hakikatnya pertuduhan ini adalah suatu konspirasi jahat untuk memastikan Anwar merengkok semula ke dalam penjara Sungai Buloh. Malah Utusan dalam laporan bertarikh 8 September 2009 memanipulasikan kenyataan Pensyarah Undang-Undang Perlembagaan, Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Prof. Dr. Shad Saleem Faruqi dan bekas Hakim Mahkamah Rayuan, Datuk Shaik Daud Md. Ismail. Kedua-dua mereka hanya memberi pandangan umum berkenaan proses Mahkamah yang adil sebagaimana termakutub dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan serta Mahkamah tidak akan menangguh tanpa alasan. Mereka langsung tidak menyentuh kes Anwar dan tidak memberi apa-apa komen terhadap kes beliau.
Kita sedang menyaksikan, sekali lagi peristiwa konspirasi jahat untuk menjatuhkan Anwar yang menjadi ancaman terhadap kerakusan kuasa kerajaan Barisan Nasional!

China and Russia put the blame on some screwed up experiments of US for the earthquake that happened in Haiti.
Chinese and Russian Military scientists, these reports say, are concurring with Canadian researcher, and former Asia-Pacific Bureau Chief of Forbes Magazine, Benjamin Fulford, who in a very disturbing video released from his Japanese offices to the American public, details how the United States attacked China by the firing of a 90 Million Volt Shockwave from the Americans High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) facilities in Alaska
If we can recollect a previous news when US blamed Russia for the earthquake in Georgio. What do you guys think? Is it really possible to create an earthquake by humans?
I came across this [url=http://universalages.com/hot-news/what-happened-in-haiti-is-it-related-to-haarp/]article about Haiti Earthquake[/url] in some blog it seems very interesting, but conspiracy theories have always been there.
[color=#e3fff1]Hello
With the increasing popularity of facebook poker chips as a virtual currency in zynga texas holdem poker game a lot of scammers have engaged themselves, who try their best to trick unsuspecting players out of their hard earned bebo poker chips.

[color=#e3fff1]Follow these tips to keep your facebook poker chips safe:
Never give your password to a stranger: Trust is a delicate thing that takes a long time to build but only second to destroy.

So be carefull enough to protect your login credentials to yourself, else this may lead to disaster.
Be careful about what you download: Regular online gamers are looking for cheats or hacks for the games they play in order to give them an advantage on their opponents.

He can then have access to vital information that you access from your computer. Leaving your facebook poker account at risk of been hacked. If you never downloaded any of these programs then you’re probably safe, and if you have then you should run a spyware detection program. The best move will be for get your computer formatted to avoid any loop holes.
Phishing Links: This way of hacking has been thee for quite sometime now. Theives send legitimate and official looking emails to your inbox. When you open them you are asked to click on the link and login in order to save your account or win free facebook poker chips, but in reality you are logging into a fake site that sends your information off to the theif who made it. Before you find it out, its too late to react and they would have already broken into your account and emptied it of any facebook poker chips that you may have.
YouTube scams: If you do a search on youtube for facebook poker cheats, zynga poker hacks, or free facebook poker chips you’ll find hundreds of videos on the topic. More than 90% of them are made by idiots hoping to convince you to send them your account information. They range from slightly clever to completely moronic.
Image Photo Having Exe Embedded In it: This one is hard to catch. This is the latest fashion that is used by scammer, you will be asked to share family photo's. When you open their photo, that will innitiate an exe in the background which will steal all your information and send to the mastermind behin it. So be careful with whom you share photos.
Hope these tips help you saving your chips.

The French gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne has a wonderful aroma, a rich taste; the saltiness increases with the incidence of veining. The overall flavor is piquant but not overly sharp. Bleu d'Auvergne started life as an imitation of Roquefort, using cow's milk in place of sheep's milk. Legend has it that a peasant, around 1845, decided to inject his cheese with a blue mold that he found growing on his left-over bread (the motto being, waste not, want not). And thus, the gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne was born. This French gourmet blue cheese comes from the region of Auvergne and the cheese is made from milk of Salers and Aubrac cows. The rind is very thin and so the cheese is usually wrapped in foil. The cheese is rich and creamy with a pale yellow color and scattered holes and well-defined greenish-blue veining. We cut and wrap this cheese in wedge of 8 ounces and 1 pound.

Hi,

[quote]TOKYO – Nearly a half million people in Japan were ordered to higher ground on Sunday, as coastal areas across the vast Pacific region braced for lethal tsunami waves. But only small waves appeared, and there were no reports of damage.
Areas ranging from Sydney, Australia, to the Russian Far East to the Hawaiian islands conducted evacuations and warned residents to be on the lookout for large waves following the 8.8 magnitude earthquake that devastated parts of Chile on Saturday. The Asia-Pacific region waited in suspense for almost 24 hours, the time that scientists predicted it would take shock waves from the powerful earthquake to race across the ocean in the form of massive waves.
But the predicted time of impact came and went, with only waves of up to 10 centimeters reported near Tokyo and of up to 90 centimeters further north along the Japanese coast. The same was true across the region, where officials breathed an almost audible sigh of relief.
“Luckily, these waves are far smaller than the agency’s forecast,” said Kazuaki Ito, director of the Information Institute of Disaster Prevention, a Tokyo-based non-profit group that advises on natural disasters.
The tsunami warning was lifted in Hawaii on late Saturday after waves of about 1.5 meters were sighted, without any apparent damage. Beaches were briefly cleared of swimmers, and tourists were sent to upper floors of hotels. But nations further west left their alerts in place for much of Sunday, even after waves proved small, in case of additional tsunamis triggered by the huge Chilean temblor.
Nations took the warning seriously in a region where raw memories remain of the deadly December 2004 tsunami in the neighboring Indian Ocean that killed nearly 230,000 people in 14 countries.
Some of the biggest preparations were taken by Japan, where meteorological agency officials issued the nation’s first major tsunami warning in 17 years. They initially said they expected walls of water up to 3 meters, or 9 feet, high.
In Tokyo, train lines and highways in densely populated areas along the edge of Tokyo Bay were stopped for hours. Further north, officials said they ordered the evacuation of some 570,000 households from coastal areas mostly on the main Japanese island of Honshu, a areas that has seen killer tsunamis in the past.
Television news programs showed elderly residents in Iwate prefecture sitting on blankets in school gyms that had been turned into makeshift shelters. In the hilly port city of Hakodate, on the northernmost island of Hokkaido, residents sat on hilltops for hours on Sunday watching the sea.[/quote]
I was watching on & off the MSNBC coverage and frankly not impressed with their 'scare' tactic coverage - based on scientific fact and investigation the after-effects would be obvious but hey what's with checking things first these days.... granted the potential for loss of life was there but could news channels act again like news channels - reporting the facts not paranoia & spreading fear.....plus I don't want to hear at the end of it all "Thank God he saved us"....if you believe that surely God caused it in the first place too...
What do you think about all these tsunamis thing?

You must have seen Ranbir Kapoor’s wonderful chemistry with Katrina Kaif in Ajab Prem Ki Ghajab Kahani.
Katrina is really exited to romance Ranbir, obviously in reel life. Katrina is really eager to be a part of Ashtvinayak’s next film that casts Ranbir.
