Pengerusi GERAK letak jawatan, mungkin sertai PKR
Gerakan Rakyat Integriti dan Anti Korupsi (GERAK Malaysia) mengumumkan peletakan jawatan pengerusinya, Mohd Nazree Mohd Yunus berkuatkuasa serta merta hari ini untuk menyertai bidang politik.
Keputusan ini dibuat setelah perbincangan dibuat bersama ahli majlis tertinggi GERAK Malaysia dan merupakan keputusan Mohd Nazri sendiri.
"Beliau telah memaklumkan kepada majlis tertinggi dan sukarelawan Gerak dalam siri-siri pertemuan bersama mereka berkaitan hasratnya untuk meletak jawatan bagi menyertai politik.
"Ia bertujuan supaya supaya Gerak Malaysia terus kekal sebagai badan bebas, neutral dan non-partisan dalam usaha badan ini berjuang membudayakan integriti dan anti korupsi," kata kenyataan sekretariat GERAK.
Sementara itu, Mohd Nazri disebut-sebut akan menyertai PKR.
Pemuda PKR pula mengumumkan akan mengadakan sidang akhbar khas esok, yang besar kemungkinan akan mengumumkan penyertaan Mohd Nazree dalam PKR.
Nazree sebelum ini pernah membuat laporan polis terhadap Menteri Besar Selangor, Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim kepada Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) berhubung agihan lembu korban di kawasan parlimennya di Bandar Tun Razak sewaktu Hari Raya Korban.

Former Gerak head Mohd Nazree to join PKR
KUALA LUMPUR, 23 Jan: Former student leader Mohd Nazree Yunus is set to join PKR Youth and the official announcement is due to be made as early as Sunday, PKR insiders told Harakahdaily.
Mohd Nazree took over the helm of Gerak or Integrity and Anti-Corruption Movement after former PKR Youth chief Ezam Mohd Noor defected to Umno in May 2008. He has since resigned from Gerak, sparking a swirl of speculation that he was about to make his entree into politics.
“His joining PKR is a decision by the Youth wing. They believe he can add value to the party and to the Pakatan family," the PKR insider told Harakahdaily.
"It is hard to say if it is a good decision because there are some members who worry that he may cause trouble later on. However, he is being welcomed with an open mind and there are high hopes that he expand the reach of the Youth wing."
A thing of the past
Of late, Gerak appears to have stood more on the side of the Umno-BN rather than the Pakatan Rakyat. A good example is the police report Mohd Nazree lodged against PKR Mentri Besar of Selangor Khalid Ibrahim.
The Gerak chief accused Khalid of abusing his powers by spending RM110,400 of state funds to buy 46 cows during the Hari Raya korban or sacrifice festival. The cattle was slaughtered and distributed to Khalid’s constituents in Bandar Tun Razak.
Despite the frivolous nature of the allegation, it stirred up heat for PKR as Selangor Umno leaders such as former MB Khir Toyo seized on the opportunity to discredit Khalid and his state administration.
Mohd Nazree was formerly the head of the Universiti Malaya Muslim Students Association.

PENGERUSI GERAK LETAK JAWATAN, SERTAI PKR (DWIBAHASA)
KES ISTIMEWA YANG MAMPU MENILAI HALATUJU SPRM
Pengagihan saham khas sebanyak 1.5 juta unit untuk Bumiputera pada 1993 oleh seorang menteri ketika itu KINI dipertikaikan dan dokumen diserahkan kepada SPRM, walhal banyak lagi kes besar dan berprofil tinggi tidak "nampak cahaya matahari".
Ini jelas menunjukkan GERAK mempunyai agenda tersendiri. Tahniah. Awas, kelajuan anda menyelongkar dan menggali dokumen sedang diperhatikan.
Gerak Serah Dokumen Babitkan Kes Rasuah Bekas Menteri
Gerakan Rakyat Anti Korupsi (GERAK) Jumaat menyerahkan dokumen yang didakwa tuduhan penyalahgunaan kuasa oleh seorang bekas menteri, yang melibatkan pengagihan saham khas sebanyak 1.5 juta unit untuk Bumiputera pada 1993, kepada Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM).
Setiausaha GERAK Siti Faridah Abdul Samad dan dua anggota jawatankuasanya Adlin Jalaluddin dan Wan Afifi Wan Zainuddin menyerahkan dokumen setebal 12 muka surat itu kepada pegawai-pegawai penyiasat SPRM di sini.
"GERAK berharap agar SPRM dapat menjalankan siasatan yang menyeluruh terhadap kes ini dan sekiranya wujud bukti yang kukuh berkaitan kes, maka pihak yang terbabit perlu menjalani proses undang-undang," katanya.
Siti Faridah berkata pengagihan saham khas Bumiputera pada asasnya adalah untuk memenuhi pegangan ekuiti Bumiputera selaras dengan Dasar Ekonomi Baru.
Pengagihan saham khas Bumiputera itu didakwa diberikan kepada seorang anggota keluarga bekas menteri itu.
"Pengagihan saham kepada anggota keluarga yang membabitkan jumlah 1.5 juta unit saham ini tidak wajar dilakukan kerana ia memperlihatkan amalan kronisme yang dilakukan dengan menggunakan kuasa (menteri) ada," katanya.
Beliau berkata dokumen itu telah dihantar ke pejabat GERAK oleh seorang pengadu yang tidak dikenali melalui pos minggu lepas.

UMNO BERDEGIL MAHU DERHAKA TITAH SULTAN SELANGOR
DYMM Sultan Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj telah perkenan Dato' MB Selangor bersedekah lembu korban serta Baginda tidak murka penggunaan kereta peribadi sebagai kenderaan rasmi Dato’ Menteri Besar jika semua prosedur undang-undang dipatuhi. Diharapkan semua pihak akur terutama kepada puak-puak yang anti-derhaka. Diharapkan juga kita semua tidak menjadi seperti lembu dicucuk hidung dalam kes PKNS punya lembu, Khalid busuk nama. Kita rakyat Malaysia bukan boleh diperbodohkan macam lembu tak kira sama ada lembu DIGI, lembu PNSB atau lembu BALKIS.
Derma Lembu Korban, Guna Kereta Peribadi : Sultan Selangor Tiada Halangan
Sultan Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj tiada halangan terhadap usaha sedekah lembu korban malah menggalakkan usaha kebajikan seperti itu dipanjangkan ke kawasan Kuala Lumpur termasuk Bandar Tun Razak, kata Dato’ Menteri Besar hari ini.
Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim berkata dalam pertemuan dengan baginda di Istana Mestika pagi tadi Sultan Sharafuddin turut menyatakan pendiriannya untuk tidak membantah penggunaan kereta peribadi sebagai kenderaan rasmi Dato’ Menteri Besar jika semua prosedur undang-undang dipatuhi.
Abdul Khalid yang dikaitkan dengan isu sedekah 46 ekor lembu korban dan penyelenggaraan kereta peribadinya menggunakan wang kerajaan negeri juga berkata beliau akan menulis surat kepada Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah (SPRM) berikutan kenyataan Ketua Pesuruhjayanya berhubung dua dakwaan itu.
Dato’ Ahmad Said Hamdan ketika bercakap kepada media pada 20 Februari lalu dilaporkan berkata terdapat bukti kukuh yang menunjukkan Abdul Khalid menyalahgunakan kuasanya.
“Dalam pada itu, satu proses undang-undang akan dibuat terhadap Pengerusi Gerak (Mohd Nazree Mohd Yunus) atas segala tohmahan salahguna kuasa seperti yang disiarkan dalam media,” katanya.
Menurut beliau, pihaknya akan menulis surat meminta penjelasan Mohd Nazree berhubung tohmahan itu terlebih dahulu sebelum meneruskan tindakan undang-undang sekiranya beliau gagal memberi jawapan.
Sementara itu, Abdul Khalid merakamkan penghargaan kepada Presiden Pas, Dato’ Seri Abdul Hadi Awang atas sokongan padu terhadap beliau dan kepimpinan negeri berikutan isu salahguna kuasa yang dicanang pihak tidak bertanggungjawab akhir-akhir ini.
Beliau menyifatkan sokongan berkenaan menunjukkan kekuatan ikatan Pakatan Rakyat (PR) cukup padu tetapi sedang dirungkai oleh sekumpulan pihak yang ingin meraih populariti murahan.
Abdul Khalid berkata satu mesyuarat dalaman bagi membincangkan isu itu akan diadakan secara telus dan ilmiah bersama semua kepimpinan.

GERAK ( Gerakan Rakyat Anti Korupsi) telah membuat laporan kepada MACC (Malaysia Anti Corruption Commission) tentang kononnya dana awam negeri telah digunakan untuk menaja lembu bagi tujuan qurban Eidul Adha yang lalu.

State Funds Not Used, Says Selangor MB
Selangor Menteri Besar Selangor Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim has denied that he had used state funds to sponsor 46 heads of cattle for meat distribution to constituents of Bandar Tun Razak during Aidiladha last December.
He said the cattle, valued at over RM110,000, were sponsored by subsidiaries and associate companies of Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor (PKNS), which wanted the meat to be distributed to suraus in the constituency.
Khaled is the Member of Parliament of the constituency.
"There is no question of abuse of power and furthermore, it was members of the public who benefited from the effort," he told reporters after chairing the weekly state executive council meeting here today.
He was responding to Gerakan Rakyat Anti-Korupsi (Gerak Malaysia) lodging a report today regarding the matter with the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission.
Gerak's chairman, Mohd Nazree Mohd Yunus, among others had alleged that Khalid had used state funds in the matter.
On other matters, Khalid said the state government had set up a special committee, which will be chaired by himself, to closely monitor the employment situation in the state in the wake of the global economic crisis.
He said the committee, which would be made up state executive councillors and union representatives, would meet once a week from Jan 30.
He also said that the state government was informed that the Appeals Court today had upheld an appeal filed by residents of Kampung Sungai Terentang in Rawang which sought to prevent Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) from building transmission towers in their village.
He added that the state government would cooperate with TNB to find alternative sites to erect the towers as they were part of the utility's project to ensure smooth supply of electricty to 6.5 million households.
The project had been delayed by a year because of the court hearing.

Gerak: PM, ACA must investigate minister for CBT

PETALING JAYA: Gerak Malaysia, an anti-corruption watchdog, today urged Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to re-look into a criminal breach of trust case involving a senior cabinet minister.
Gerak’s new chairman Mohd Nazree Mohd Yunus, who succeeded former Parti Keadilan Rakyat youth chief Ezam Mohd Noor, said he was disappointed with Abdullah and ACA's muted response to the case as Gerak had submited a 632-page dossier containing "evidence" to the PM on July 29 last year.
The dossier, which took Gerak six months to compile, contained evidence in the form of receipts and invoices amounting to millions of ringgit and two copies of a police report lodged by the CEO of a diversified, public-listed company against the minister.
"It's more than a year now, but nothing has happened,” said Mohd Nazree, after launching a nationwide anti-corruption campaign organised by Gerak, which has over 1,000 members.
As part of its campaign, it will distribute tool kits and stickers to be placed at strategic areas for public awareness.
"We feel very disappointed because the evidence given was from primary sources," he said.
"The PM has made his intentions clear that he wants to fight graft. So he must look into this case," he added.
Ezam, who was first responsible for forwarding the dossier to the Prime Minister, however, did not give a copy to the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) citing problems with the then-ACA chief.
Mohd Nazree, however, has urged the ACA to commence an investigation into the case.
Since its inception in 2005, Gerak has submitted evidence on at least seven cases to the ACA. The cases involve a bank, a port, a political party and several politicans and individuals.
Meanwhile, Ezam, when contacted by theSun today, said he leaves the matter involving the minister to Gerak.
“It's their prerogative now to bring up the case,” said Ezam.
“Whilst I am confident of the Prime Minister’s efforts to fight graft, I will only do things the Umno way as I am now in Umno," he added. Read More “GERAK URGES PM ABDULLAH BADAWI RELOOK CBT SENIOR MINISTER” »»
