utusan rayuan Khir Toyo 27 Ogos

MALAYSIAKINI


 


Mahkamah Persekutuan akan mengumumkan keputusannya pada 27 Ogos ini berhubung rayuan bekas Menteri Besar Selangor Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo terhadap sabitan kesalahan dan hukuman penjara 12 bulan yang dikenakan terhadap beliau bagi tuduhan menggunakan kedudukan untuk memperoleh tanah dan sebuah banglo.

Ketua komunikasi korporat dan hubungan antarabangsa Mahkamah Persekutuan Mohd Aizuddin Zolkeply memberitahu media hari ini tentang tarikh yang ditetapkan itu.

Panel lima anggota Mahkamah Persekutuan yang dipengerusikan Hakim Besar Malaya Tan Sri Zulkefli Ahmad Makinudin menangguhkan keputusan penghakiman mengenai rayuan Dr Khir itu setelah mendengarnya pada 19 Januari.

Panel itu turut dianggotai hakim-hakim Tan Sri Ahmad Maarop, Tan Sri Hasan Lah, Tan Sri Jeffrey Tan Kok Wha dan Datuk Ramly Ali.

Pada 23 Disember 2011, Mahkamah Tinggi di Shah Alam mendapati Dr Khir, 49, bersalah kerana mendapatkan untuk diri dan isterinya, Zahrah Kechik, 47, dua plot tanah dan sebuah banglo di Seksyen 7, Shah Alam, pada 2007 daripada Ditamas Sdn Bhd melalui pengarahnya, Datuk Shamsuddin H ayroni, dan menjatuhkan hukuman penjara 12 bulan terhadap bekas Menteri Besar Selangor itu.

Dr Khir, yang juga bekas Anggota Dewan Undangan Negeri Sungai Panjang, dituduh melakukan kesalahan itu di kediaman rasmi Menteri Besar Selangor di Jalan Permata 7/1, Seksyen 7, Shah Alam, pada 29 Mei 2007.

Mahkamah Tinggi juga memerintahkan harta berkenaan dirampas dan diserahkan kepada kerajaan.

Pada 30 Mei tahun lepas, Mahkamah Rayuan menolak rayuan Dr Khir dan mengekalkan keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi itu. Beliau kemudian memfailkan rayuan kepada Mahkamah Persekutuan.

Dr Khir diwakili sepasukan peguam diketuai peguam kanan Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, manakala timbalan pendakwa raya Mohd Masri Daud mewakili pihak pendakwaan. - Bernama

Choose New Speaker on Merits Not Necessarily from Umno

Kota Kinabalu     “The Sabah Speaker plays a very important role under the Westminster system of government.  Its sudden vacancy offers an opportunity for the State Legislative Assembly to appoint the new Speaker based on merits and certain required criteria” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, commenting on the availability of the post due to the not unexpected appointed of the previous Speaker as a federal Minister in the Cabinet reshuffle.


Whether Datuk Seri Salleh has done a good job as Speaker and head of the Legislature in the Westminster system, it will be judged by the people and history.   Regardless, he should be commended for holding his fort with his two Deputies at the time of many opposition lawmakers in the Assembly.

In choosing the next Speaker, UMNO should not appoint any Tom, Dick and Harry, or Ali, Mohd. and Rahim, so to speak just to fill the position with someone who is going to be obedient and subservient to the Government of the day.   The other BN components should also ensure that this does not happen and agree blindly and obligingly.

Preferably, the Speaker should be conversant in Bahasa Malaysia and English.   And knowledge of the law would be an advantage given the intricacies of the position as head of the Legislature which passes laws in Sabah.

Perhaps, a good alternative would be to promote one of the two current Deputies as their experience would put them in good stead.   Although neither are from Umno, it should not matter as Umno cannot be dominating everything including the Speaker’s post.

The Speaker should also ensure that true separation of powers is practiced in the Legislative Assembly and ensure that the Legislative Assembly acts as a check and balance to the Executive and Judiciary branches as promoted in the Westminster system.   At the Assembly, the Speaker is the head and the Chief Minister, as Head of the Executive, is only an ordinary member like the other 59 Assembly representatives.

The Speaker can take the cue from the Federal Parliament Speaker, Tan Sri Pandikar Amin, who is incidentally also from Sabah, who has set out to introduce reforms to the Federal Parliament and ensure a proper separation of powers between the Legislature, Executive and Judiciary.
