Masing Damn You..The JV in Pantu is Not Profitable. With the Land code Proposed Amendment Who is Going to Protect the NCR Land Owners.

To All the Three Tan Sri :Firstly Congratulations Tan Sri; Secondly  Did  the three of you Buy the Titles with Our NCR Lands. If  Not...Get them Back

 for us !...Bukittunggal.Com

Yesterday Masing proposed that the BN Backbenchers are going to propose for  the amendment  of land code in order to protect the investors in the JV. According to Masing this amendment will prevent the land owner from withdraw from the JV. Masing added this amendment is to cover the loophole as a result of the NCR court case in Pantu whereby the case was won by the land owners.

I would like to ask Masing whether he is working for the investors or for the people that voted for them. The JV in Pantu is always in the red since it was signed in  year 2004. After 7 years the landowners had never been paid with dividend. Under the JV, upon signing of the JV each landowner is supposed to be paid with RM 1200 per acre. But Kim Loong or Pelita had cheated the landowners by paying  the dividend by instalments. So far   this had been done in December and June 2011.

Under the JV, there are three ingredients which made the land owners at the losing site. They are :-

Firstly, PHSB was to receive and collect the benefits of the development of the native customary rights land into an oil palm plantation, not the landowners;

“Secondly, the commercial development of the native customary rights land into an oil palm plantation was to be carried out by a joint venture company formed by PHSB and TASB, a company exclusively chosen by PHSB under a joint-venture agreement in respect of which the landowners are not even a party to.

“Thirdly, the native customary rights lands are immediately amalgamated and title is to be issued in the name of the 'joint venture' company and the landowners would have no beneficial legal equitable or caveatable interest in the land to be issued with title.

Will Masing the Chief Land robbery, with the proposed amendment since the land owners cannot withdraw from the JV even if they knew that they are risk losing their Lands. Being one of the land owners that were cheated by PELITA to participate in Pantu JV, I warn you Masing that Land is our (Iban) Blood...We will use whatever it takes in order to take back our lands.

NCR Land Robbery By BN Government: Masing Will Leads The Rest Of The Dayak YBs To Amend Sarawak Land Code

Kuching
Friday, 17th June 2011


BN's Government Sarawak Strikes back at NCR land owners. This is the price that the dayak has to pay for Voting for BN in the previous State Election.

The Top Iban traitor: He leads the rest of the Dayak YBs in Robbing Iban of their NCR Lands!

Land Development Minister James Masing says he will table an amendment bill to plug the loopholes in the present ordinance.

The Sarawak state government is striking back at the native customary rights (NCR) land owners after it lost a court battle in the Pantu land case.

Land Development Minister James Masing (right) said today he will table the Land Custody and Development Authority (Amendment) Bill 2011, which seeks to plug the loopholes in the LCDA Ordinance.

He confirmed that the amendments to the LCDA Ordinance arise out of the Pantu land case in which High Court judge justice Linton Albert made a damning judgment against the state government, state-owned LCDA and Pelita Holdings Sdn Bhd over the principle deed signed with a group of NCR landowners claiming native customary rights to the land.

“We can't have a decision that affects the investors' confidence. We need to protect those who have invested huge sums of money in the oil palm plantations,” he said.

If  through  Politic cannot protect our NCR Lands,the Iban should consider going  to the Street "Ngauay"!

He said landowners who have signed the development agreements cannot later on withdraw from the NCR land development, once the amendments come into force.

“They have to stick to the agreement,” Masing, who is also the Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) president, insisted.

NCR land law expert See Chee How said the tabling of the Bill showed that the government does not believe in the court's decisions.

See, who is also the PKR Batu Lintang state assemblyperson, said the Bill should not have retrospective effect.

“Yes, your suspicion is right that the tabling of the Bill has something to do with the Pantu land case,” he said when contacted.

The Bill, to be tabled at the next week's meeting of the Sarawak state legislative assembly, seeks to spell out more clearly the functions, role and responsibilities of LCDA in regard to the development of land declared as a development area.

The Bill, under clause 3, seeks to define a company formed by LCDA and whose controlling shares are held by LCDA as “native” for the purposes of the Sarawak Land Code.

The state government and LCDA lost in the Pantu land case because the court ruled that the joint company formed by LCDA was not a native under the Sarawak Land Code.

This is what Masing meant as plugging the legal loopholes in the LCDA Ordinance.

But the far-reaching consequences of the Bill is on the introduction of Clause 7 which seeks to amend Section 12 of the Principle Ordinance to empower LCDA or any person authorised by LCDA, to enter upon and remain on land within a development area, where development agreements have been signed.

In undertaking development of the land in a development area, LCDA acts as the agent of the government. Thus, the provisions of Section 29 of the Government Proceedings Act, 1956, should apply to LCDA.

 Ki

In Ten Years to Come If We Still Vote For  BN, the Iban will have no land for their own Used. Ask Masing How Much Dividend Has Been Paid By Tetangga Akrab or now Kim Loong!

The section prohibits the court to grant any injunction or order of possession against a government, or its public officer or agent.

Any disputes or differences concerning any development agreement will be referred to mediation, and if it fails, to arbitration.

Such requirements will be deemed to have been incorporated into any development agreement signed before or after the date of coming into force of the proposed amendments.

The Bill states that the new proposals are intended to facilitate the resolution of disputes between the parties to the development agreements, including the owners of NCR land, in an amicable manner.

In the Pantu Land case, the court attacked a joint-venture agreement (JVA) between Pelita Holdings Sdn Bhd (PHSB) and a plantation company, Tetangga Arkab Sdn Bhd (TASB) and Tetangga Arkab Pelita (Pantu) Sdn Bhd (Tetangga).

Tetangga is the joint venture company formed by PHSB and TASB that undertook the development of an oil palm plantation project involving the NCR land in Pantu district.

The principle deed and the JVA were signed on Sept 3, 2004 for the development of 7,000ha of NCR land.

Twelve NCR landowners have sued the Land Custody and Development Authority (LCDA), PHSB, Tetangga and the state government as first, second, third and four defendants respectively.

PHSB is a wholly subsidiary of LCDA, a state government land agency.

The plaintiffs are Masa Nangkai, Christopher Ambu, Engkana Talap, Sinju Senabong, Uban Bundan, Albert Waler Skinner Tulis, Jacob Emang, Len Jubang, Liap Giling, Ivanhoe Anthony Belon, Morice Renggi and Gima Belon.

They were suing on behalf of themselves and 90 other occupiers, holders and claimants of NCR land situated at or around Kampung Tekuyong, Kampung Dadak Aping, Kampung Aping, Kampung Lubok Abok, Kampung Sungai Tenggang, Kampung Limau and Kampung Pantu.

The plaintiffs claimed various declaratory reliefs relating to their native customary rights over land in the disputed area land which was established to be within the oil palm plantation project and for restraining orders against LCDA, PHSB and Tetangga and for them to give vacant possession of the plaintiffs' native customary rights land and damages.

'Fig leaves too scanty to conceal violations'

In his judgment, Justice Albert said the principle deed and the JVA had deprived the plaintiffs of their native customary rights land which was a source of their livelihood and lost the rights to their property which were violations of Articles 5 and 13 of the constitution.

“Irrespective of the cleverly-devised legal mechanism and legalistic language which constituted the principal deed and the joint-venture agreement, they are mere fig leaves too scanty to
conceal their violations of Articles 5 and 13 of the constitution because the sum total of the rights of the landowners, to put it crudely, and for want of a better word, is zero,” Albert had said.

He said this was patently demonstrated by the following aspects of the principal deed which was briefly set out for emphasis and at the risk of repetition.

“Firstly, PHSB was to receive and collect the benefits of the development of the native customary rights land into an oil palm plantation, not the landowners;
“Secondly, the commercial development of the native customary rights land into an oil palm plantation was to be carried out by a joint venture company formed by PHSB and TASB, a
company exclusively chosen by PHSB under a joint-venture agreement in respect of which the landowners are not even a party to.
“Thirdly, the native customary rights lands are immediately amalgamated and title is to be issued in the name of the 'joint venture' company and the landowners would have no beneficial legal equitable or caveatable interest in the land to be issued with title.

“And one can go on and on to illustrate how the terms of the principal deed have stripped the landowners of their rights in every conceivable way and reduced those rights into nothingness.

“The fact that the landowners were not parties to the agreement between PHSB and TASB, under which it was agreed for the commercial development of the native customary rights land by Tetangga, meant that the landowners' rights in and over the oil palm plantation was also definitively zero.

The judge said the JVA was also in contravention of Section 8 of the Land Code because neither TASB nor Tetangga had been declared a native at the time of the JVA and it did not matter that Tetangga was subsequently declared a native because it is a principle of antiquity that things invalid from the beginning cannot be made valid by a subsequent act.

Siti Jarum Perempuan Sundal UMNO Bekerja Dengan Utusan Malaysia

Kuching
Sunday, 12th June 2011

Siti Jarum cuba meniupkan semangat perkauman dengan membandingkan Namawee pejuang semangat Maysian-Malaysia dengan Gambit iaitu seorang pengarah Video Lucah..Memanglah Siti Jarum ini pelacur UMNO yang bekerja dengan Utusan Malaysia!

Semasa minum di kedai makan milik kaum Melayu di M10 iaitu sebuah pekan satelit di Batu 10 Sarawak, sekali lagi mata saya tertancam pada tulisan Siti Jarum iaitu seorang kolumnis perkauman dari Utusan Malaysia yang mana berikutnya akan saya gelarkan "Sundal UMNO", tentang dua pemuda Malaysia iatu Namawee dan Gambit. Namawee pemuda Cina yang berasal dari Johor menjadi terkenal kerana mencipta dua buah lagu berentak rap iaitu Negaraku sebagai Negarakuku dan juga tentang seorang Guru Besar di Kulai bernama Siti Inshah Mansor yang bersifat perkauman dengan menghina Kaum Cina dan India. Manakala Gambit pula adalah seorang pemuda berbangsa Melayu tetapi mengarahkan video lucah yang dimuat-turun ke dalam Youtube.

Sundalnya Siti Jarum. Tidakkah sundal UMNO ini mengetahui akan perbezaan yang ketara di antara perbuatan kedua-dua pemuda ini? Namawee menggunakan bakatnya untuk menyuarakan ketidak-puasan hatinya atasa layanan perkauman pemimpin Malaysia terutamanya UMNO terhadap rakyat Malaysia keturunan kaum Cina dan juga India yang mana umum malahan seluruh dunia sudah mengetahuinya (Sila rujuk rencana http://bukittunggal.com/2009/08/umno-must-end-it-apartheid-style-rules.html). Manakala Gambit pula atas kreativitinya mengarahkan video lucah suatu perbuatan yang melanggar undang-undang Malaysia kerana membuat filem seks atau video lucah.

Nampaknya Sundal UMNO ini telah cuba untuk meniupkan isu perkauman dengan menyamakan perbuatan seorang rakyat Malaysia berbangsa Cina yang menyuarakan rasa tidak puas-hatinya melalui lagu dengan perbuatan seorang pemuda Malaysia berbangsa Melayu yang melakukan jenayah dengan membuat filem lucah..Memanglah Siti Jarumni seorang Sundal UMNO yang berselindung di sebalik Utusan Malaysia.

Pada tulisan saya yang lepas saya ada menyebut bahawa tidak semua orang Melayu mempunyai hati sejahat PERKASA (pertubuhan proksi UMNO) itu sebabnya walaupun lebih kurang 50% daripada penduduk Malaysia adalah terdiri daripada Orang Melayu tetapi tidak ramai orang Melayu yang membaca akhbar Utusan Malaysia,  ini disebabkan hanya segelintir (kebanyakan penyokong UMNO)  sahaja orang Melayu yang bersikap perkauman macam Utusan Malaysia.

Sebagai penduduk yang mengimpikan keamanan saya ingin mengingatkan kepada Utusan Malaysia, UMNO dan Siti Jarum Sundal (Sundal UMNO) agar lebih bertanggungjawab apabila membuat laporan agar keamanan negara ini tidak terjejas. Ingatlah sebagai sebuah negara majmuk, keselamatan negara ini sangat sensitif. Perkara keagamaan serta perkauman merupakan ancaman negara ini yang paling ketara. Sikap yang tidak bertanggungjawab seperti yang diamalkan oleh Utusan Malaysia serta Sundal UMNO melalui tulisannya di dalam Utusan Malaysia boleh menghancurkan negara ini. Ingatlah keamanan negara ini bukan disebabkan oleh toleransi penganut Islam serta kaum Melayu semata-mata, tetapi semangat tolak ansur penganut agama lain serta lain-lain kaum negara ini serta rakyat Malaysia juga menyumbang terhadap keamanan negara seperti yang kita kecapi sekarang.

Perbandingan di antara Namawee serta Gambit seperti yang ditulis oleh Sundal UMNO merupakan pelanggaran prinsip kewartawanan yang ketara. Kepada Siti Jarum (Sundal UMNO) serta Utusan Malaysia..Insaflah...Negara ini adalah NEGARA MALAYSIA dan bukan lagi TANAH MELAYU yang telah lama terkubur semenjak tahun 1963 iaitu semenjak tertubuhnya Malaysia.

Snowdan Lawan Punishes Two Village Heads For Failure To Persuade Their Anembiaks to Vote For Him

Kuching
Saturday, 11th June 2011

Snowdan Lawan uses 1Malaysia Netbook to punish all the village heads (Tuan Rumah) that failed to influence their people to vote for him during the just concluded Sarawak State Election.

Netbook 1Malaysia is a bait for BN to fish for votes from the TRs in Sarawak!

Last week on a first day of Gawai Dayak festival, my uncle who was also the village head (TR) of one of the longhouse under N25-Balai Ringin, showed me the 1Malaysia netbook which was according to him given by YB Snowdan Lawan. At that time I thought all the TRs were given with one.

Yesterday, one again  I went back to Kampong Empaling to visit my mother. Not long after I reached home, at about 10.00PM one of the TR from Kampong Isu came our house. For the benefit of the readers of Bukittunggal.com, Kampong Isu is one of the longhouse under N25-Balai Ringin where Snowdan Lawan lost miserably during the state election and is also the longhouse where Dan Giang one of the candidate that stood against Snowdan Lawan. To cut the story short, while we were having black coffee this TR informed me that he was not very happy with YB Snowdan Lawan and felt humiliated as he was not given with the 1Malaysia Netbook. According to him another TR that was not issued with 1Malaysia netbook due to the same reason was a TR from Kampong Gayau which is located not far from Kampong Isu.

MACC must look into this problem seriously. The netbook was supposed to be given to all those eligible in this case the longhouse Chiefs or TR. The monies for these netbooks came from tax payers and not from Snowdan lawan or his father Donald Lawan. The laptop should not be used as bait for BN to fishing for Votes especially from the TRs.

I am not posting this article here because I am against Snowdan lawan. But my main reason is to inform MACC how BN YBs are using the tax payer monies for their own benefits and to fish for Votes. To MACC what are you waiting for?

Akta Veteran Di antara Kenyataan dan Gimik Politik

Kuching
Sunday, 5th June 2011

Akta Veteran yang bertujuan untuk membantu bekas tentera yang berkhidmat sepuluh tahun ke atas telah mula dibincangkan mulai tahun 2009 tetapi sehingga kini masih tidak menjadi kenyataan.

Yang menjadi tanda-tanya kepada semua bekas tentera yang tidak berpencen, adakah akta berkenaan benar-benar mahu diujudkan  atau hanya tujuan politik untuk menarik undi bekas tentera yang tidak berpencen yang mencapai jumlah hingga 200 000 orang di seluruh negara? Jika itulah kenyataannya, maka  semua bekas tentera yang tidak berpencen seharusnya bertindak untuk memberikan pengajaran kepada pemimpin-pemimpin politik yang berani membohongi 200 ribu orang bekas tentera ini. Saya telah menulis rencana berkenaan dengan motif kerajaan di Bukittunggal.com di SINI.

Betul ke ini atau ia merupakan salah satu janji politik?

Semasa balik ke kampong semasa perayaan Gawai Dayak baru-baru ini, saya telah berkesempatan untuk bercakap dengan beberapa orang bekas tentera yang tidak berpencen. Di dalam perbualan dengan mereka ini, kebanyakan daripada mereka ini telah bertanya berhubung dengan kedudukan Akta Veteran yang telah diwar-warkan semenjak tahun 2009. Daripada lawatan saya ke rumah-rumah mereka saya merasa tersangat sedih dengan keadaifan hidup mereka.

"Kita berhenti daripada perkhidmatan tentera bukanlah disebabkan kerana kita sudah tidak mahu berjuang atau bekorban untuk negara tetapi disebabkan kita mahu menceburi bidang awam. Lagipun perkhidmatan tentera membenarkan kita berhenti sebelum berpencen" kata salah seorang pesara tentera dari Kampong Abok kepada Bukittunggal.com.

Salah seorang daripada mereka menambah, "Pekerja Telekom Malaysia serta Tenaga Nasional Malaysia yang diswastakan telah diberikan pencen walaupun berkhidmat di dalam perkhidmatan kerajaan kurang daripada tiga tahun, kenapa pendekatan yang sama tidak diberikan kepada bekas tentera?".

Dari segi politik, kebanyakan daripada bekas tentera ini lebih cenderung kepada parti pembangkang ini disebabkan rasa kecewa kerana tidak mendapat pembelaan daripada pihak kerajaan.

"Saya menyertai PBTM sebagai ahli seumur hidup tetapi walaupun saya hidup dalam kesusahan tetapi saya tidak pernah mendapat bantuan daripada Jabatan Veteran. Saya melihat Pengarah JHEV Sarawak lebih mengutamakan bantuan kepada kaum Bidayuh. Cuba siasat dan tengok statistik!" kata salah seorang bekas tentera daripada Kampong Empaling yang menunjukkan rasa tidak puas hati beliau terhadap ketidaktelusan bantuan yang diberi oleh JHEV sarawak kepada bekas-bekas tentera di Sarawak.

Sebagai bekas tentera yang tidak pernah mendapat pembelaan daripada JHEV saya mengharapkan agar Akta Veteran diluluskan. Dan sementara menunggu kelulusan Akta Veteran, diharapkan pimpinan JHEV Sarawak diterajui oleh mereka yang berkelulusan serta tahu mencipta peluang untuk bekas tentera terutamanya mereka yang tidak berpencen.

Bukittunggal merasa kecewa kerana tiap kali bertanya kepada JHEV Sarawak berkenaan peluang perniagaan serta kursus perniagaan  tiap kali telah mendapat jawapan negatif. Saya merasa kecewa dengan ketidak-upayaan JHEV Sarawak di dalam memberikan bantuan kepada bekas tentera yang memerlukan bantuan.

Kepada bekas tentera yang membaca tulisan saya ini, sekiranya anda ingin berhubung dengan saya boleh email melalui alamat e-mail berikut : remaung6renjer@gmail.Com.

Akhir kata, kita berharap kerajaan meluluskan Akta Veteran dengan kadar segera supaya 200 ribu orang bekas tentera yang tidak berpencen mendapat pembelaan.

Congratulations to All Three Iban Leaders Who Were Awarded With Tan Sri By King

Kuching
Sunday, 5th June 2011

Every Iban in Sarawak should be proud of these three leaders who had been awarded with Tan Sri by the King. The award was a special Gawai Dayak  gift to all the Iban in the country. It is hope with the award, the three of them will work harder to protect our rights and to ensure that the living standard of the Iban if not better is in par with the rest of Sarawakian. Even though none of them are from second division or Simanggang area but we hope they will not neglect us.

At first when I read in the Borneo Post about three dayak leaders being awarded with the Tan Sri title, I did not pay much attention as I was thinking that they were not Iban laeders. But after realised who they were, I decided to write it here in Bukittunggal as a show of appreciation to the Federal Government.

As I mentioned earlier even though the three leaders were not from Iban Simanggang, but I hope the Federal Government aware about this, and as for these three leaders it is hope they will represent all the Iban in Sarawak regardless of the areas where they came from,  be it Iban Simanggang, Iban Batang Rejang, Iban Sekrang or the  Iban Lundu .

Who Are These Three Leaders

The three Iban leaders that had been awarded with Panglima Setia Mahkota award which carries the title ‘Tan Sri’, two are presidents of the Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties namely Dato Sri Dr James Masing of the Dayak-dominant Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) and Dato Sri William Mawan Ikom of the multi-racial Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP).

Another notable personality is former politician Datuk Amar Leonard Linggi Jugah. Linggi, former Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) secretary-general now runs the cultural and education-linked Tun Jugah Foundation. He was one of four Malaysians named as Forbes Asia’s Heroes of Philanthropy in 2008.

They received the award from Yang Di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin.

Bukittunggal once again would like to congratulate these three Tan Sri hope the title will encourage them to work harder for the Iban!

DEHP-tainted food shipped to 15 regions: Taiwan government

Kuching
Saturday, 4th June 2011


According to Taiwan government, the food tainted with DEHP have been exported to 15 countries inclusive Malaysia.

Taiwan's Department of Health confirmed that food products made in the country containing DEHP were exported to 15 other countries or regions. 

Taiwan's Department of Health (DOH) confirmed that food made in Taiwan containing the plasticizer DEHP (di-ethyl hexyl phthalate), which can cause hormone malfunctions in children, was exported to 15 countries or regions including the US, mainland China, the European Union, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Philippines, Australia, Malaysia, South Africa, Argentina, Egypt, Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Macau.

The department said it has informed the authorities of these countries and reported to World Health Organization (WHO).

China and South Korea have banned imports of certain food and drinks from Taiwan which may be contaminated, while Canada is investigating food imported from Taiwan. California supermarkets have also removed contaminated food from selves.

The toxic food additive scandal broke out early last week in Taiwan after an investigator from the Department of Health discovered food and beverage products containing the agent that is normally only used to make plastics. The discovery triggered a public panic nationwide in Taiwan and the government launched a comprehensive food check.

Beijing banned imports of Taiwan-made sports drinks, fruit juices and jams that Taipei had said could contain excessive levels of DEHP. Beijing also published a list of companies from the island whose imports were banned. South Korea's Food and Drug Administration also implemented a series of bans.

The Philippines have also limited food imports from Taiwan. More than one hundred thousand Taiwan-made food products were recalled by the Philippines' Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Wednesday (June 1).

Some 165,505 variants of food and drink products from Taiwan are believed to be contaminated with DEHP and should be recalled, the Philippines FDA said.

The list includes some 200 types of product such as fruit juices, tea, sports drink, fruit concentrate, candies, fruit capsules and tablets, honey, fruit bars, fruit pastes and jams.

Affected products include sports drinks manufactured by Hyatt Brand Food Co and Bao Jian; fruit juice concentrates made by Bosi US International Industrial Co and Sun Biotech; teas by Fresh Tea; fruit juices by Kagawa Industrial Co and Jin Wang Food Co; fruit syrups by Lin International Trading Co and fruit juice powders by Wang Chun Industrial Corp, Chang Gung Biotechnology Co and Hip Shing Chemical Co.

These products were recalled since the agency is under the impression that DEHP was "illegally added to a food product as a clouding agent to improve emulsification of the product," Philippine FDA director Suzette Lazo said.

Hong Kong also banned two Taiwanese drinks on Tuesday (May 31) and Wednesday said it was recalling the stomach medicine Well Tab after its own tests found DEHP in the product.

An alert from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said Wednesday that affected juices, syrups and jams may be in the Canadian market and contain DEHP.

"We've identified so far 25 different products that we know have been imported into Canada and we put out the recall notice on those," said Tim O'Connor, a spokesperson for the agency. The recalled products include mango, lychee and passion fruit juice.

Contaminated beverages from Taiwan have been removed from shelves at the California-based 99 Ranch Market, one of the largest Asian grocery chains in the US, company spokesperson Jennifer Tsao said Monday (May 30).

"Two kinds of Taiwanese beverages have been taken off shelves and we are still trying to know more about the whole situation, "she told Taiwan's Central News Agency.

99 Ranch Market, run by Tawa Supermarket Inc, has 35 stores in the US, 29 of which are in California. The chain is considered a Taiwanese-American supermarket because it has a considerable amount of products imported from Taiwan.

The Taiwan government has proposed dramatically tougher penalties for tainting food items with banned substances, planning a 33-fold increase in the maximum fine in a bid to prevent contaminated foods being sold.

Four Muslims Jail For Attacking RE Teacher In London

Kuching
Friday, 27th May 2011

He was an ‘able, enthusiastic and popular’ religious education teacher who loved his job at an inner-city girls’ school.

Judge: 'Your belief is that you carried out a duty to your God and you did so with no mercy'

Gang to get at least 19 years behind bars for grievous bodily harm with intent 

Jihadi fanatics thought they had got away with it but were caught following suspicions of terrorist plot 

But when a gang of Islamic extremists decided his lessons for Muslim girls were ‘mocking Islam’, they unleashed a sickening attack on Gary Smith, slashing his face and battering him with such force that his own mother didn’t even recognise him.

Akmol Hussain, 26, Sheikh Rashid, 27, Azad Hussein, 26, and Simon Alam, 19, ambushed the 38-year-old as he walked to work because they did not approve of a non-Muslim teacher giving lessons on religion to Hussain’s niece.

In a ten-minute attack, the fundamentalist mob smashed him over the head with a concrete block and iron rod and slashed his face from the corner of his mouth to his right ear with a Stanley knife. They punched and kicked him in the stomach, head and face, before driving away ‘praising Allah’ as they left their victim covered in blood and unconscious with a fractured skull and shattered jaw.

The Jihadi fanatics thought they had got away with it. But, following suspicions of a terrorist plot, the security services had planted a bug in their car that recorded them snarling: ‘This is the dog we want to hit, to strike, to kill.’

Despite the ferocity of the attack, Mr Smith was back in the classroom yesterday as his attackers were given an indeterminate sentence for public protection.

Sentencing the gang at Snaresbrook Crown Court to at least 19 years behind bars for grievous bodily harm with intent, Judge John Hand QC told them: ‘If you think that people around you in society present an insult or threat to God then you will not hesitate in attacking again.’

MI5 considered the gang such a threat to national security that they asked the Home Secretary for permission to plant a covert recording device in Hussain’s car. But it wasn’t until detectives listened to the tapes after the assault in July last year that they were arrested.

In a recording played to the court, Hussain was heard plotting the attack outside Central Foundation Girls’ School in Bow, East London, where Mr Smith worked as head of religious education.Hussein said: ‘He’s mocking Islam and he’s putting doubts in people’s minds. How can somebody take a job to teach Islam when they’re not even a Muslim themselves?’ Just moments before the gang struck at 8am on July 12 last year, Hussain told the others as they donned gloves and black bandanas: ‘Does everyone remember the drill? One time, bang, bang, bang, bang.The recording then fell silent for ten minutes while the attack took place. The gang  later fled in a car boasting of their success. Hussain could be heard saying: ‘Praise to Allah. I turned and hit him on the face with the rod and he went flying and fell on his stomach.’

Mr Smith taught topics such as abortion, euthanasia and the role of women at the high-performing specialist state school, which has a high proportion of Bangladeshi students who do not speak English as their first language.

Prosecutor Sarah Whitehouse said: ‘He was targeted as the victim of this attack quite simply because of his position as head of religious studies at the school.’

Mr Smith did not regain consciousness for two days. He underwent emergency surgery to treat bleeding on the brain, leg injuries and nerve damage.

He also had three operations to repair his face, but was left with a four-inch scar, memory loss and back pain.  His mother, Heather, 75, said: ‘His injuries were so bad I didn’t recognise him. It was a horrific and evil attack.

Mr Smith said: ‘They were all armed with knives. I tried to defend myself and run away but they all jumped me and that’s the last thing I remember.

In the victim impact statement,  he added that he has grown a beard in an attempt to conceal the scar. He can only do 75 per cent of his previous working hours and can no longer ride his motorbike or practise martial arts.

The judge said: ‘He enjoyed living in Tower Hamlets where he had lived alone for a number of years, but now is anxious about being alone and has gone back to live with his mother. He lives in constant fear of being attacked again.

‘He forgets about meetings and students’ names, something he never did before the attack.’

The four gang members appeared at court wearing traditional Islamic robes. Their wives and mothers dressed, in full burkas, wept as they were sentenced after pleading guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

The defendants claimed they had heard rumours that the teacher raped a girl at the school, but this was unfounded.

Hussain and Hussein were given an indeterminate sentence but told they would serve a minimum of five years. Alam was told he would remain in a Young Offenders’ Institute for at least five years, before being released on a five-year licence.

Rashid was told he would be eligible for release after four years, when he too would be subjected to a five year licence.

A fifth man, Badruzzuha Uddin, 24, a mechanic who admitted helping the thugs by hiding blood-stained clothing, was jailed for two years.

Alam, who was born in Germany, faces deportation.

William Mawan Lost Command to Non-Iban SPDP 5

Kuching
Thursday, 26th May 2010


William Mawan should expel the SPDP 5 - Paulus, Nansian, Entrie and Rosey from the party before the recent State Election because by not doing so, yesterday the 5 leaders made a press conference and condemned Mawan for Keeping quiet and taking the defensive approach over the party two defeats in the state election. By looking at the composition of SPDP 5, Mawan and the Iban leaders in the SPDP seem to be already lost command to the non-Iban leaders. If Mawan want to mentain SPDP as the Iban majority party he must expel the SPDP 5 members from the party!

Has  Mawan "Lost Command"  to SPDP 5 Who are Non-Iban ? ( Enteri is not Iban due to his conversion status)

A group of SPDP members, including the ‘Group of Five’ members, is concerned about the party’s future and the “deafening silence” of their party president after the April 16 polls.

They are concerned because in the 10th state election, SPDP lost two seats — Krian and Ba’ Kelalan.

The party’s number two Datuk Peter Nyarok Entrie lost in Krian while the other casualty was its candidate for Ba’ Kelalan who replaced the party’s secretary-general Nelson Balang Rining .

In a statement obtained by The Borneo Post yesterday, the group said they were puzzled by the continued silence of their leader because all other parties, including the opposition, had commented on their respective performances and some even laid bare their future plans.

“Almost six weeks have passed by since the April state election. All parties, Barisan National as well as the opposition, have commented on their victories and losses and their way forward, except SPDP.

“The silence is deafening,” they said. Ironically, the state assemblymen among the “rebel” group (SPDP 5) were re-elected with handsome winning margins. Members of the group are Marudi assemblyman Sylvester Entrie Muran, Datuk Peter Nansian Ngusie (Tasik Biru), Paulus Gumbang (Batu Danau) and Rosey Yunus (Bekenu).

The fifth member is Mas Gading MP Dr Tiki Lafe. Branded as SPDP’s “Group of Five” after they protested a decision made by the president in their last Triennial General Assembly (TGA), both camps patched up before the recent state election.

The group met in Kuching yesterday to review the performance of the party in the election and to share their postmortem findings. They also wanted to know the direction of the party and its preparations for the coming general election.

“For example, has the party election machinery been properly mobilised to ensure a clean sweep in the state election? Were the political secretaries, senator, Wanita, Puteri and Pemuda Wings mobilised in the last state election and for the coming parliamentary election?” the group asked.

But their key concern was on the loss of Ba Kelalan and Krian.

“In Ba Kelalan, the loss has been attributed to a new face, a novice. Such an explanation is acceptable. However, the same excuse would seem rather lame when applied to Krian, an SPDP stronghold in the Sarawak hinterland.

It is a safe seat held by a veteran, who is also the deputy president of SPDP, who lost miserably by over 2,000 votes to a PKR candidate,” it said.

The group also pointed to the SUPP leadership, which had expressed their willingness to take full responsibility for their humiliating losses and to chart a new course of action for the party, and compared it to the silence in their own party.

SPDP president Dato Sri William Mawan Ikom retained Pakan but his seat was also the only one in which the SNAP candidate did not lose his deposit.

James Masing..Keep It Up. Let's "Pumpong Pala" Ibrahim Ali!

The real James Masing the Dayak Aspirant Leader During Ming Court Prevails By his stern Warning to Ibrahim Ali the Malay Extremist group President. Keep it up Masing. Duku Ilang is always greater than Keris!

Angry with Ibrahim Ali the PERKASA President For declaring "crusade war" against Christians, James Masing warned Ibrahim Ali to mind his language so as not to offend fellow Malaysians from other faiths especially the Christians.

Borneo Post reports James Masing described Datuk Ibrahim Ali’s call for Muslims to declare a “crusade against ungrateful Christians” as extreme :-

“Ibrahim Ali’s view is an extremist view by Perkasa. It is very unhealthy as it is against the Prime Minister’s 1Malaysia concept,” said Masing.

James Masing also warned Ibrahim Ali that his statement has angered the Iban which majority are christian.

“I must warn him that the Dayak community in Sarawak also has certain phrases such as ‘Pumpung pala’ (chopping the heads of the enemies) to use against someone they don’t like " said Masing, who is an anthropologist by training.

Iban is the majority group in Sarawak but despite being majority the Iban is the most less developed race in Malaysia. This is mainly due to Taib Mahmud  politic of discrimination against the Iban. Under the constitution the Iban being the native our interest should be protected by the King and should be given special   status as the Malay. But why now Iban is remained one of the less developed race in Malaysia. Despite that we never offend our fellow Malaysians. To Ibrahim Ali please stop you irresponsible act and help in building  this nation. Your rhetoric will not help this nation. By looking at your action lately under PERKASA you should be stripped-off your datukship. People like Lim Kit Siang, Karpal Singh and Lim Guan Eng is more fit to be bestowed with DATUK title if compare with you.

To Hishamuddin, if this one Ibrahim Ali is not charged for a crime that he committed, you risk losing this country and turn it into Pakistan or Afghanistan. But the choice is yours whether to keep this one person mouth  shut or risk losing this wonderful country to extremist like Ibrahim Ali.
