Menelanjangi pembohongan Hishamuddin Rais 12:56PM Mei 14 2012   Dua minggu sesudah ibu segala demo berlangsung - pelbagai bentuk pembohongan ditaburkan. Semua ini dilakukan secara terancang untuk mengalihkan dan memadamkan ingatan orang ramai terhadap isu yang fundamental. Berita, kisah dan kenyataan yang remeh lagi temeh dipanjang lebar dan dibesar-besarkan. Semua ini dirancang agar umum terlupa agenda fundamental. Agenda yang fundamental pada ketika ini ialah rakyat menuntut pilihan raya dijalankan dengan adil dan bersih. Ini adalah induk tuntutan. Ini adalah ibu dari segala tuntutan. Agenda inilah yang menjemput 300,000 warga turun ke jalan raya pada 28 April yang lalu. Jumlah 300,000 anak semua bangsa ini adalah bukti bahawa rakyat Malaysia tidak lagi yakin kepada proses pilihan raya di Malaysia ini akan dijalankan dengan adil dan bersih. Rakyat Malaysia - anak semua bangsa - yakin bahawa Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya ( SPR) sedang merancang untuk menipu di PRU13 nanti. Tiga ratus ribu keluar berdemo adalah tanda mereka telah hilang keyakinan terhadap sistem pilihan raya di Malaysia. Mereka - 300,000 - turun berdemo kerana tidak mahu ditipu. Inilah persoalan yang fundamental. Untuk pencerahan kita bersama dalam tulisan ini saya akan menelanjangi satu demi satu pembohongan yang sedang ditabur. Pencerahan ini adalah persediaan untuk kita semua turun sekali lagi jika kita ditipu dalam pilihan raya yang akan diadakan tidak lama lagi. Awal wahid - apa yang wajib saya telanjangi ialah konsep: hak menumbangkan kerajaan. Orang ramai terutama orang Melayu selalu ditakut-takutkan dengan perkataan ‘menumbangkan kerajaan'. Perkataan dan konsep ini dikuduskan sehingga orang ramai tidak berani bersuara. Orang Melayu pula ditakut-takutkan dari bergerak menyusun saf untuk menumbangkan kerajaan. Para pembaca yang budiman, kita tidak harus takut. Jangan merasa gentar untuk terlibat beramai-ramai dalam gerakkan menumbangkan kerajaan. Menumbangkan kerajaan adalah peRkara biasa. Kerajaan Suharto tumbang pada tahun 1998. Kerajaan Marcos tumbang pada tahun 1986. Kerajaan Shah Reza Pahlevi di Iran tumbang pada tahun 1980. Kerajaan Mubarak di Mesir tumbang tahun lalu. Justeru rakyat bangun menumbangkan kerajaan dan sebuah kerajaan tumbang adalah perkara biasa. Bukan satu perkara yang pelik. Bukan satu yang ganjil atau unik. Dari zaman berzaman kerajaan telah ditumbangkan oleh rakyat. Kerajaan Melayu Melaka tumbang. Kerajaan Majapahit tumbang. Kerajaan Pasai tumbang. Kerajaan Aceh tumbang. Kerajaan Turki tumbang. Kerajaan Czar Rusia tumbang. Kerajaan Hitler tumbang. Justeru - kita semua tidak perlu takut - menumbangkan kerajaan ini bukan satu jenayah. Bukan satu kerja yang salah. Mahathir Muhamad menakut-nakutkan orang ramai dari bergerak untuk menumbangkan kerajaan Najib. Mahathir ada sebab. Kerana apabila kerajaan United Malays National Organsiation tumbang maka Mahathir sendiri akan di dakwa di mahkamah dengan pelbagai dakwaan rasuah. Sebab inilah Mahathir bermati-matian mempertahankan Najib Razak dari ditumbangkan oleh rakyat. Tiga orang bekas pemimpin kanan polis aka polis pencen - telah cuba menakut-nakut orang ramai dari bergerak menyusun saf untuk menumbangkan kerajaan. Para pembaca jangan risau. Sila ketawa kerana mereka ini adalah ‘Three Stooges' - Tukang Karut macam watak Wok Dogol, Wok Long dan Wok Seman dalam naratif klasik wayang kulit. Biar saya terangkan bahawa ketiga-tiga Datuk, Tan Seri dan Tun ini ada ‘memiliki' kes jenayah yang amat besar. Seorang tauke judi pasti takut kasinonya akan ditutup. Seorang ahli tinju - masih ada kes yang belum selesai. Dan seorang ‘tauke lendir' pasti tahu apabila kerajaan United Malays National Organisation tumbang bergantang-gantang lendir akan dihempap ke mukanya. Justeru cakap-cakap ‘tiga ekor lanun' ini wajib didengar dengan mulut ternganga dan dua tangan menutup lubang telinga. Untuk memahami konsep menumbangkan kerajaan mari kita membuka mata untuk melihat ke luar tingkap negara kita. Kerajaan Jimmy Carter telah di tumbangkan oleh Ronald Reagan pada tahun 1980. Kerajaan George Bush telah ditumbangkan oleh Barak Obama pada tahun 2005. Kerajaan Parti Buruh Gordon Brown telah ditumbang oleh David Cameron pada tahun 2010. Paling baru - beberapa hari dahulu - di Perancis, kerajaan Sarkozy telah ditumbangkan oleh Francois Hollande. Bila saya menuliskan sejarah kerajaan yang ditumbangkan ini maka pasti ada pembaca akan melompat bersuara. Akan menjerit-jerit mengatakan bahawa Ronald Reagan, Barak Obama, Francois Hollande dan David Cameron semuanya menumbangkan kerajaan melalui proses pilihan raya dan bukan berdemo di jalan raya. Syukur! Saya cukup senang hati apabila ada pembaca yang akan berhujah sedemikian. Saya amat bangga jika ada pembaca yang akan bertegang leher untuk melaungkan ke telinga saya bahawa pilihan rayalah yang telah menumbangkan kerajaan si Ani dan Si Anu. Ini hujah tepat dan sahih. Saya terima hujah ini. Tetapi, sila dengar pula apa yang ingin sampaikan d isini. Kita semua wajib menyedari bahawa pilihan raya di Amerika, di United Kingdom dan di Perancis tidak menipu. Rakyat di negara-negara ini bebas untuk memilih sesiapa sahaja yang mereka suka. Lembaga Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya Perancis tidak merancang untuk menipu para pengundi. SPR Perancis tidak merancang untuk memastikan Sarkozy menang dan calon Parti Sosialis Francois Hollande kalah. Di negara-negara ini pilihan raya ialah pesta kebebasan untuk memilih kerajaan baru atau mengundi kembali kerajaan lama. Tidak wujud penipuan. SPR di United Kingdom kerjanya ialah mengatur dan penyusun pilihan raya bukan menipu pengundi. Penipuanlah yang membezakan antara pilihan raya di United Kingdom atau di Perancis dengan pilihan raya di Malaysia. Penipuan ini adalah kunci dan besi berani yang memanggil 300,000 anak semua bangsa - tua dan muda - turun ke jalan raya pada 28 April yang lalu. Pengundi di Malaysia tidak mahu lagi ditipu. Pilihan raya yang menumbangkan kerajaan di United Kingdom atau di Perancis adalah pengundian sahih dari warga negara. Bukan saperti di Malaysia di mana SPR dengan kerjasama United Malays National Organisation didakwa telah memberi Mat Bangla dan Mat Indon kad pengenalan. Dengan kad pengenalan segera ini ‘warga asing' akan dipaksa untuk mengundi United Malays National Organisation. Kerajaan Sarkozy ditumbangkan bukan dengan menggunakan pengundi hantu. Kerajaan Gordon Brown ditumbangkan bukan kerana undi pos. Ronald Regan menumbangkan Jimmy Carter bukan dengan membuat persempadanan semula atau menghilangkan nama pengundi. Maka jelas kerajaan-kerajaan yang ditumbangkan ini adalah melalui proses pilihan raya yang bersih dan adil. Bukan dengan penipuan. Jika para pembaca telah memahami apa yang saya tulis di atas maka mari kita melihat pula bagaimana Suharto, Marcos dan Mubarak menjalankan pilihan raya. Suharto juga mengadakan pilihan raya. Tetapi majoriti dari 445 ahli parlimen adalah yang dilantik. Ini samalah seperti yang sedang berlaku di Burma sekarang. Parti Ang Suu Ki memenangi 45 dari 46 kerusi yang dipertandingkan. Tetapi parlimen Myamar ada 664 Yang Berhormat. Selain dari 45 YB yang dipilih - semuanya dilantik oleh tentera. Marcos menjadi Presiden Filipina selama 20 tahun. Kempen pertama Marcos pada tahun 1965 hingga ke hari ini masih menjadi buah mulut. Ferdinand Marcos menjadi presiden melalui penipuan, melalui beli undi dan melalui paksaan. Kisah Hosni Mubarak dari Mesir lebih indah dan menarik. Mubarak menjadi presiden selama 30 tahun semenjak tahu 1975. Pada tahun 1987, 1993 dan 1999 dengan licik Mubarak telah mengadakan pungutan suara - bukan pilihan raya - untuk memastikan dia terus berkuasa. Pada tahun 2005 Mubarak telah dicadangkan sekali lagi oleh Parlimen Mesir untuk menjadi Presiden. Lalu dilakukan pemungutan suara. Sayangnya hanya Mubarak seorang saja calon yang ada untuk dipilih. Rakyat Mesir semakin marah. Tuntutan pilihan raya bersih dan adil mula kedengaran. Maka pada bulan September tahun 2005 diadakan pilihan raya dengan pelbagai parti bertanding. Sebelum pilihan raya dijalankan Parlimen telah meluluskan undang-uandang dan akta untuk memastikan semua kuasa mutlak masih lagi di tangan Presiden Mubarak. Kes Suharto, Marcos dan Mubarak ini adalah kes klasik dalam Dunia Ketiga. Kita tidak perlu lagi melihat kes Mobutu Seseko dari Congo atau Mugabe dari Zimbabwe. Semua mereka ini adalah contoh pemimpin negara Dunia Ketiga yang menang dalam pilihan raya. Biar saya tuliskan apakah dia ciri-ciri negara Dunia Ketiga agar pencerahan ini akan membantu kita semua untuk memahami apa yang sedang berlaku sekarang. Ciri utama ialah ruang demokrasi amat sempit dalam negara Dunia Ketiga. Sistem kapitalis yang digunakan pakai ialah kapitalisme kroni. Elit politik dan elit ekonomi hidup dengan kaya raya. Rasuah menjadi budaya. Media dikongkong. Polis, sistem kehakiman, badan agama dan tentera digunakan untuk mengancam orang ramai. Semua ciri dan watak-watak ini terdapat di Malaysia. Hakikatnya Malaysia walau pun memiliki bangunan tinggi Petronas tetapi masih lagi berwatakkan negara Dunia Ketiga. Parti United Malays National Organisation telah berkuasa selama 54 tahun. Ini satu jangka masa yang amat panjang. Perlembagaan telah diubah berkali-kali. Pelbagai akta telah ditambah. Pelbagai lembaga telah ditubuh. Semua ini untuk memastikan United Malays National Organisation terus berkuasa. Suharto, Marcos dan Mubarak menipu dalam pilihan raya untuk terus berkuasa. Rejim Najib Razak dan United Malays National Organisation juga sedang merancang untuk menipu dalam PRU13. Suharto, Marcos dan Mubarak menang dalam pilihan raya tetapi dihambat keluar oleh rakyat. Jangan silap faham - saya tidak menolak pilihan raya. Apa yang ditolak oleh rakyat ialah penipuan dalam pilihan raya. Justeru, jika kali ini United Malaya National Organsiation melalui SPR menjalankan penipuan dalam PRU13 - maka rakyat Malaysia tidak ada pilihan melainkan turun ke jalan raya. Sama seperti yang berlaku di Indonesia, Filipina dan Mesir - sesudah rejim lama dihumbankan maka satu SPR baru ditubuhkan. SPR yang baru inilah yang akan mengendalikan satu pilihan raya yang adil dan bersih. Ini bukan satu angan-angan. Ini satu janji.

Citizen backlash keeps Malaysia rare earth plant on hold


Residents display placards to protest against the construction of the Lynas earth plant in Gebeng, during the "Green Gathering 2.0" event in Malaysia's town of Kuantan, 250 km (155 miles) east of Kuala Lumpur, in this February 26, 2012 file photo. — Reuters pic
GEBENG, May 9 — The expensive machinery lies silent, idling as Malaysia's government weighs a delicate decision to allow shipments of raw material to arrive from Australia and finally start operations at the world's largest rare earths plant outside China. At the industrial estate on the country's east coast, 20 or so protesters gathered in the searing afternoon heat have begun a chant. "No to Lynas. Lynas go home!".
The handful of demonstrators seems an unlikely obstacle to plans by Australia's Lynas Corp to build its company-making 2.5 billion ringgit plant, seen as crucial to challenging China's near monopoly on the production of rare earths, used in items ranging from smartphones to smart bombs.
But the expanding protest movement they represent, feeding off broader frustrations with Malaysia's government as elections loom, has already delayed the project by eight months and cast a shadow over its future.
The resistance - fed by social networks and Malaysia's increasingly lively independent online media - also raises broader questions over the global expansion of an industry that has created huge environmental problems in China, which currently accounts for about 95 per cent of global supply.
"Western countries don't want it. Why should we in Malaysia?," said Norizan Mokhtar, who lives less than 10 km from the plant in the industrial area of Gebeng, close to fishing villages and Kuantan, a city of half a million people.
"My youngest is six, the effects might not be seen now but in the future. We eat fish every day, what if there is radiation?"
She's afraid controls on the plant will become slack after the first few years.
Lynas has been plagued by delays and controversy in Malaysia since it broke ground on the plant two years ago with the aim of easing China's grip on the supply of rare earths and capitalising on rising prices for the material.
Its share price has halved since early last year as investors worry that it will lose out in the race to feed surging world demand.
Lynas has orders covering its first 10 years of production. Japan, the world's biggest consumer of rare earths, is counting on Lynas to supply 8,500 tonnes a year by early 2013.
"Our customers are waiting," Mashal Ahmad, the managing director of the Lynas plant, told reporters during a tour of the plant for media last month.
"We have nothing to hide," he said, adding that "too much misinformation" had been spread about the company.
Caught off-guard
Prized for their magnetism, luminescence and strength, world consumption of rare earths is estimated to rise to around 185,000 tonnes a year by 2015, from 136,000 tonnes in 2010.
China imposed export quotas in 2009 to fight pollution caused by illegal mining and processing, turning up the pressure to find alternative sources.
The Lynas plant is one of a handful under construction. It is 98 per cent complete and would supply about 11,000 tonnes in its first year, eventually rising to 22,000 tonnes.
Elsewhere, Canada's Great Western Minerals is teaming up with a Chinese group to build a rare earth processing plant in South Africa, while US firm Molycorp is set to churn out just under 20,000 metric tons of rare earth oxide this year at its site near California's Death Valley.
The Malaysian protest movement gathered strength last year after allegations - denied by Lynas - that it was cutting corners on safety, fanning fears that radioactive run-off from waste material stored at the plant could seep into the local water system after being chemically treated.
An estimated 8,000 people rallied against Lynas in Kuantan in February and the issue has been seized on by the country's opposition to show the government is out of touch with citizens' concerns.
Malaysia's government at first showed few signs of heeding the protesters' concerns, but it appears to have been caught off-guard this year by the strength of opposition to the plant as it prepares for a closely run election within months.
Pahang, the state where the plant is being built, is a key stronghold for the long-ruling Barisan Nasional coalition that it can ill-afford to lose. Responding to lobbying by citizens' groups, the government set up a parliamentary select committee in March to look into the safety of the plant, after halting a conditional temporary operating license granted in February.
A decision is expected after the committee presents its findings at the end of June.
Prime Minister Najib Razak has vowed the government will not allow Lynas to operate the plant if there is any doubt over its safety. But he must also weigh the costs of sending a negative signal to foreign investors as he tries to reinvigorate the economy of the Southeast Asian country.
"We will never compromise the safety of the people and the environment," he said in a radio broadcast last month.
Lynas officials say they are confident the plant will win approval in coming months. Opponents suspect the government is waiting until after the election to approve the plant at a less sensitive time.
"The timing could be all too convenient," said Fuziah Salleh, a local opposition member of parliament who has thrown her weight behind the protest movement. "Basically it is a delay tactic until approval."
Fuziah and leaders of the protest movement "Stop Lynas, Save Malaysia" say they will continue to fight against Lynas in the court if it wins approval, signalling more uncertainty ahead.
The opposition - which made historic gains in 2008 polls and has an outside chance of winning the next election - has said it will scrap the Lynas project altogether if it takes government.
Tainted history
Opponents say the Lynas plant doesn't meet with best practice standards for the industry as it is too close to heavily populated areas and in a place where the ground water level is high. Molycorp's plant in California, by comparison, is situated far from residential areas in an arid climate.
"There never was any public consultation before the building of the plant got underway. I faced resistance from the start," said Fuziah.
If the protesters' views are trenchant, then Lynas' resolve is also hardening. The company has started legal action against a Malaysian news portal and a protest group for defamation.
Rare earths have a tainted history in Malaysia. In 1992, a unit of Mitsubishi Corp closed a rare earths plant in Bukit Merah in Perak state amid acrimony over radioactive contamination. Residents of Bukit Merah say they have suffered a high numbers of birth defects and leukaemia.
Lynas says comparisons with Bukit Merah are unfair because the raw material there was over 40 times more radioactive than the concentrate to be used at its plant.
It says commercial - not environmental - reasons brought it to Malaysia, where the government has granted the company "pioneer" status, giving it a 10-year tax holiday.
Lynas says it has added earthen fill to the site for the storage facility to double the distance between waste products and the water table to 4.1 metres.
The waste will contain low levels of thorium, a radioactive chemical which can cause cancer, but the concentration of thorium is very low and stays low, it says.
But it isn't clear how long the waste matter will be stored at the plant. Lynas says its storage facility has been built to a standard that would allow the waste to be stored permanently, although it only expects storage for 17 or 18 years. It hopes to sell the waste as a base for road construction after reducing its radioactivity concentration to safe levels.
Treated waste water from the plant will go into the Balok river at an average rate of 213 cubic metres per hour, raising concerns about the impact on marine life and on the livelihoods of the fishermen along the coast. Officials at Lynas say the concerns are unfounded and the discharged water will meet with Malaysian regulations.
From her perch close to the Balok river, Kak Su, who sells the daily catch local fishermen bring in, smiles quietly. She is resigned to her fate.
"The government will decide, I don't think they'll make a bad decision," she says. "I don't think the protesters will get anywhere," she adds. — Reuters
