LAPORAN POLIS TERHADAP MENTERI DALAM NEGERI (DWIBAHASA)

Kepala Lembu: Laporan Polis terhadap Hishamuddin

PETALING JAYA, 3 Sept: Pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat Selangor hari ini membuat satu laporan polis terhadap Menteri Dalam Negeri, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein kerana didakwa telah menyalahgunakan kuasanya dengan 'memberi perlindungan' kepada kumpulan yang memprotes pembinaan kuil di seksyen 23 Shah Alam.


Laporan polis dibuat di Balai Polis Daerah Petaling Jaya tengahari tadi diketuai Ahli Parlimen Klang, Charles Santiago.




Turut serta membuat laporan itu, Ahli Parlimen Kuala Selangor, Dr. Dzulkifli Ahmad, Ahli Parlimen Kota Raja, Dr. Siti Mariah Mahmud, Exco Kerajaan Selangor, Dr. Xavier Jayakumar dan 21 pemimpin pakatan rakyat lain.

Mereka mendakwa Hishamudin melalui kenyataannya semalam telah mengganggu siasatan yang sedang dijalankan pihak polis terhadap kumpulan penunjuk perasaan yang mengarak serta menendang kepala lembu di hadapan bangunan Sekriteriat Kerajaan Negeri Selangor SUK 28 Ogos lalu.

Ianya merujuk kepada kenyataan menteri itu yang di anggap cubaan 'membela dan menyelamatkan' golongan perusuh tersebut apabila menyatakan tindakan mengarak dan menendang kepala lembu oleh mereka itu bukan untuk mencetuskan api perkauman mahupun menghina agama lain.

Hishamudin menyatakan demikian selepas mengadakan pertemuan dengan kumpulan perusuh berkenaan di Shah Alam semalam. Image

Bercakap kepada pemberita di perkarangan balai polis itu tadi, para pemimpin pakatan bagaimanapun menganggap kenyataan beliau itu sebagai membuat keputusan terlebih awal, mendahului keputusan sebenar siasatan yang sedang dijalankan oleh pihak polis.

"Hari ini sudah menjadi suatu yang agak sukar untuk PDRM menjalankan siasatan secara bebas dan terbuka kerana sebelum selesai siasat lagi, menterinya sudah menyatakan mereka (kumpulan perusuh) ini tidak bermaksud untuk mencetuskan api perkauman ataupun penentangan agama," Ujar Dr. Dzulkifli Ahmad

Menurut mereka juga kenyataan Hishamuddin itu secara tidak langsung boleh dianggap sebagai satu arahan dari pihak kementerian kepada pasukan polis yang menyiasat, supaya memberhentikan siasatan mereka.

"Pada saya, dia (Hishamudin) sepatutnta tidak perlu untuk berjumpa pun dengan kumpulan perusuh itu. Kenyataannya itu adalah satu arahan secara tak langsung kepada pegawai di bawahnya supaya samada tidak meneruskan siasatan ataupun tidak perlu ambil tindakan," ujar Dr. Siti Mariah yang turut bersama pada sidang tersebut.

"Ini satu campur tangan dan jelas berlaku penyalahgunaan kuasa dan SPRM diharap ambil tindakan terhadap beliau (Hishamuddin). Dan saya belum dengar lagi mufti buat apa-apa fatwa tentang perkara ini, saya nak dengar sebab mereka begitu senyap," ujarnya lagi.

Pada sidang media tadi juga, Charles dan Xavier sekali lagi mendesak Perdana Menteri, agar mengambil tindakan terhadap Menteri Dalam negeri itu kerana dianggap telah memalukan kabinet dan bercanggah dengan konsep 1 Malaysia yang digagaskan Datuk Seri Najib.

Deskan sama kali pertama dibuat Charles dan Xavier semalam apabila meminta supaya Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein dipecat atau meletak jawatan dari Kabinet selepas Menteri Dalam Negeri itu dilihat menyebelahi kumpulan yang terlibat dengan demontrasi kepala lembu minggu lalu itu.

Selain mereka, Ahli Parlimen Shah Alam, Khalid Abd Samad turut mencabar Menteri Dalam Negeri itu bersemuka dengannya jika beliau benar-benar tidak memihak dalam menangani isu protes mengarak serta memijak-mijak kepala lembu di Shah Alam 28 Ogos lalu.

Khalid yang juga Yang Dipertua PAS Shah Alam melahirkan rasa kesalnya dengan tindakan Hishamuddin bersimpati dengan penunjuk perasaan mengheret, memijak dan meludah kepala lembu tempoh hari.

Beliau menyifatkan menteri itu seolah-olah mengiakan tindakan mencerca agama lain untuk tujuan politik.


Sehingga kini, 28 laporan polis berhubung isu ini telah pun dibuat pelbagai pihak.

Cow's head protest: Police report lodged against Hishamuddin


PETALING JAYA (Sept 3, 2009) : Several Pakatan Rakyat leaders lodged police reports yesterday against Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Hussein for allegedly abusing his powers when he made a statement on Wednesday apparently defending the actions of the 'cow head' protesters.

At about 12.30pm, Klang MP Charles Santiago, Kuala Selangor MP Dr Dzulkifli Ahmad, Kota Raja MP Dr Siti Mariah, Selangor executive councillor Dr Xavier Jeyakumar, Selangor PKR Youth chief Khairul Anuar Ahmad Zainuddin and a group of PR supporters arrived at the Petaling Jaya district police headquarters where they lodged two police reports.

"We are shocked by the Home Minister's statement. Despite the ongoing police investigations, he had gone to the extend of meeting the suspected offenders and announced that the culprits had no intention to do what what they did," Jeyakumar told reporters outside the police headquarters.

"He is the minister in charge of the police force and has exonerated the offenders.He also has used his powers to influence the course of the probe and the final action to be taken against the offenders," he said.

Meanwhile, Siti Mariam said Hishamuddin had abused his powers and the Malaysian Anti Corruption Agency should investigate him.

"He should watch the video footage of the protest. It is clear what the protestors did was hurtful and insulting to the Hindu community. What they did is also insulting to Muslims as such behaviour is definately not the Islamic way. Islam teaches its followers to respect other religions." she said.

"Just days earlier, the Prime Minister announced that Malaysians must break the 'racial walls' and unite as one, but here one of his ministers are defending racism," she added. Hishamuddin's statement is an "endorsement" to such extremist protesters that it is okay to carrying a cow head, spit and stomp on it in their future protests," said Khairul who lodged one of the two reports.

"Even a child can tell that what the Section 23 protest group did is sensitive and can cause racial hatred among the races in the country but the minister can afford to sympathise with such offenders." he said.

Santiago told reporters "The relocation is not the concern of the minister. I consider Hishamuddin a sympathiser of these wrongdoers. These people are offenders who have insulted Hindus and should be dealt severly by the law.

"In the midst of police investigations, it is highly improper and irregular for a minister to meet them."

"What the protesters did was serious but what Hishamuddin did was worse. How can he defend people who have committed such grave offence?" he asked.

He said his police report carried 26 signatures of those present and more reports are expected to be lodged nationwide over the matter.

Although police had completed their probe into the incident for illegal assembly and sedition, they have been instructed by the Attorney General to gather more information when they submitted their investigation papers on Wednesday.
