Creation of Takfiris US-Zionist plot: Hezbollah chief

Secretary General of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah says the Takfiri terrorists are a US-Zionist plot.

“We are witnessing a new Nakba,” Nasrallah said in a televised address on Saturday.

“The Nakba of the Takfiri militants was first brought to the region by the British Zionist project, now it is the American Takfiri Zionist project, and America is using this to weaken the Ummah and tear it apart and to seize control of its capabilities,” he added.

Every year on May 15, Palestinians all over the world hold demonstrations to commemorate Nakba Day, which marks the anniversary of the forcible eviction of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homeland by Israelis and the creation of the Israeli regime in 1948.

On May 15, 1948, Israeli forces displaced some 700,000 Palestinians, forcing them to flee to different neighboring countries. Israeli soldiers also wiped nearly 500 Palestinian villages and towns off the map, leaving an estimated total of 4.7 million Palestinian refugees and their descendants dreaming of an eventual return to their ancestral homeland more than six decades later.

Battle for Qalamoun

Nasrallah praised the “victory” in Qalamoun as a major achievement for Lebanon, Syria, and the entire region.

The battles there took place from "hilltop to hilltop and from valley to valley," he added.

Hezbollah, the Syrian army, and Syrian volunteer forces, as well as the locals in Qalamoun helped fighting the terrorists in the strategic area, he noted.

Referring to the major difficulties in the battle for Qalamoun, he said the high mountains and hills inside the area made the mop-up operation very difficult.

A total of around 300 square kilometers of the Syrian and Lebanese territory was retaken from the militants and some of their operation centers were also destroyed, Nasrallah added.

“The highest level of security was achieved for Syrian villages in Qalamoun and the same goes for Damascus-Homs road,” he said, adding; however, that as long as the militants are present in border areas, such as in Arsal outskirts and some parts of Qalamoun, there would be risks.

Nasrallah said Hezbollah fighters have cut off the supply lines of the militants from Lebanon to Syria.

He further described attempts by certain entities to pit Hezbollah against the Lebanese army as "foolish."

The secretary general also criticized some Arab media for waging what he referred to as psychological warfare against Hezbollah. He added the media has overplayed the number of Hezbollah’s casualties.

“There have been thirteen Hezbollah martyrs in the battle so far,” he stated.

Nasrallah also stressed that the media was trying to portray the Takfiri militants as revolutionaries while they are in fact terrorists.

Since the most recent Syria-Hezbollah joint operations about nearly two weeks ago, Nusra Front Takfiri militants had been using Qalamoun mountainous region for transferring weapons and reinforcements from Lebanon into Syria, where they have been engaged in terrorism operations against the government.

Failure after failure 

Turning to Yemen, he called for the condemnation of the US-backed Saudi aggression against the impoverished country.

He said the Saudi military campaign has failed to achieve any of its goals, saying Riyadh has gained nothing but "failure after failure."

“This aggression won’t achieve its goals.... and it has failed in achieving its goals,” he said. 

Saudi Arabia started its military aggression against Yemen on March 26 -- without a UN mandate -- in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement, which currently controls the capital, Sana’a, and other major provinces, and to restore power to fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, who is a staunch ally of Riyadh.

World mum on rights violations in Bahrain

Touching upon the developments about the popular uprising in Bahrain, he slammed the violation of human rights in the Persian Gulf kingdom, saying that the people of Bahrain are facing torture and prison for their peaceful upraising.

“The situation in the prisons in Bahrain is very difficult, it’s not just against the most basic human rights and something awful is taking place... in light of international silence,” the secretary general added.

Scores of Bahrainis have been killed and hundreds of others injured and arrested in the ongoing crackdown on peaceful demonstrations.

Since mid-February 2011, thousands of anti-regime protesters have held numerous demonstrations on the streets of Bahrain, calling for the Al Khalifa family to relinquish power.    

Power vacuum in Lebanon

On the future presidential election in Lebanon, Nasrallah said the power vacuum has reached a dangerous point, urging the Lebanese people not to pin their hopes on foreigners to make decisions for them in this regard.  

“Take these matters very seriously, it’s very important and sensitive, discuss the ways out and raise solutions for the power vacuum,” he said.

The power vacuum is considered the longest since 1990, which marked the end of Lebanon's civil war.

In Lebanon’s power-sharing system, the president must be a Christian, the prime minister a Sunni Muslim and the parliament speaker a Shia Muslim. Any presidential candidate would have to receive the backing of the two main political blocs, the March 8 alliance and the rival March 14 alliance, to win the necessary majority from the legislature’s 128 members.

1MDB - biar gambar berbahasa

Secara tiba-tiba syarikat ini menggemparkan arus media negara serta jadi perbualan hangat rakyat. Sebabnya 1MDB dikatakan telah banyak menggunakan wang yang hasilnya tak nampak.

Daripada wang berbilion itu digunakan tanpa memberi faedah kepada negara,

Adalah lebih berfaedah digunakan untuk tujuan berikut, sekurang-kurangnya bila rakyat berbelanja pun negara juga dapat hasilnya.

Tidak lah kerana kerajaan sibuk bayar hutang, kakitangan yang bergaji rendah dengan tekanan harga barang yang tinggi maka mereka juga jadi gelandangan...

Malaysia Strongly Rejects Saudi Allegation about Joining Coalition against Yemen

TEHRAN (FNA)- Both the Malaysian Defense Minister and Armed Forces commander categorically dismissed the Saudi media reports alleging that the Malaysian Armed Forces have joined the Riyadh-led coalition against Yemen. Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said Malaysian troops now in Saudi Arabia are there to help in evacuations, in reaction to a report in the Saudi Gazette that Malaysia was joining a coalition led by the Saudis in its offensive against Yemen. The Saudi Gazette report, quoting the official Saudi Arabia state news agency, did not provide the number of Malaysian troops who had arrived in Riyadh or whether they were ground troops or air force personnel. Hishammuddin, however, on Twitter last night said that the troops were only there to assist in humanitarian and evacuation missions, as there were still Malaysian students there. Meanwhile, Armed Forces Chief General Tan Sri Zulkifeli Mohd Zin said the sole mission of the Malaysian troops in Saudi Arabia is to facilitate the safe and smooth evacuation of the remaining Malaysian citizens in Yemen. "Two of our Royal Malaysian Air Force C-130 Transport Aircraft will be positioned at the Forward Operating Base (FOB) at Prince Sultan Air Base (PSAB) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. "The FOB has been established at the PSAB as a ‘firm ground’ before departing to the evacuation location. "Subsequently, our Malaysian citizens will be evacuated and returned to the FOB for safe passage to Malaysia." Saudi Arabia launched its bombing campaign against Yemen on March 26 in an attempt to restore power to fugitive President Mansour Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh. Hadi stepped down in January and refused to reconsider the decision despite calls by Ansarullah revolutionaries of the Houthi movement. Despite Riyadh's claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi warplanes are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures. The Monarchy's attacks have so far claimed the lives of at least 3,623 civilians, mostly women and children.

Yemen: Ansarullah Shoots Down Coalition Fighter Jet in Sa'ada

TEHRAN (FNA)- Yemen's Ansarullah revolutionaries shot down a Moroccan F-16 warplane during a Saudi-led air raid on the province of Sa'ada on Monday. Yemen’s al-Massirah television said Ansarullah revolutionaries shot down the warplane in the Noshour Valley in Sa’ada with an anti-air gun on Monday. Reports also said that the downed fighter jet was flying at a low altitude. Earlier, the Moroccan air force announced in a statement that an F-16 warplane taking part in the Saudi-led air raids on the impoverished country had gone missing "One of the F-16s of the Royal Armed Force (FAR) that was sent to operate under the Saudi-led coalition went missing on Sunday at 6 pm local time," the statement cited by the Moroccan state news agency said. "The pilot of a second jet in the same squadron could not see if the pilot had ejected," it said. An investigation is under way, it added. Morocco has sent half a dozen F-16 warplanes to take part in the Saudi-led aggression against Yemen. Saudi Arabia launched its bombing campaign against Yemen on March 26 in an attempt to restore power to fugitive President Mansour Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh. Hadi stepped down in January and refused to reconsider the decision despite calls by Ansarullah revolutionaries of the Houthi movement.

Tun M Kritik PM lagi dan lagi.

Sekali lagi, nampaknya Tun M masih tidak berpuashati dengan pentadbiran BN yang diketuai oleh PM Najib sekarang. Apa yang disuarakan oleh pemimpin pembangkang sekarang dan sebelum ini diulangi semula oleh Tun M untuk mengkritik pimpinan PM Najib.
Persoalannya sekarang adakah kritikan Tun M setajam ketika beliau mengkritik pentadbiran Tun Abdullah sehingga memaksa Tun Abdullah melepaskan jawatan PM.
Apa yang jelas nampaknya kali ini macam tidak berkesan, adakah sebab PM Najib lebih bersedia takut pisang berbuah dua kali...berikut adalah kritikan Tun M melalui blognya:-

1. Ramalan oleh masyarakat sekarang ialah UMNO dan BN akan kalah Pilihanraya Umum ke-14 kerana terlalu banyak tuduhan yang dibuat terhadap Najib yang tidak dijawab olehnya.

2. Ia bermula dengan kes pembunuhan Altantuya, wanita Mongolia yang terlibat dengan skandal pembelian kapal selam.

3. Dua orang anggota polis dituduh menembak mati wanita berkenaan, dibicara, didapati bersalah, kemudian didapati tidak bersalah dan dibebaskan. Kemudian dibicara semula dan dikena hukum bunuh.

4. Seorang daripada mereka berada dalam tahanan tetapi Sirul seorang lagi berada di Australia. Dia membuat kenyataan bahawa dia diarah untuk membunuh.

5. Rakyat tertanya-tanya siapa yang memberi arahan. Sebagai pengawal peribadi Dato Sri Najib, dakwaan Sirul perlu disiasat untuk menentukan siapa yang memberi arahan. Tetapi selain daripada Najib berkata Sirul “merepet”, tidak ada siasatan yang dibuat. Ini adalah nyawa manusia. Amatlah zalim jika Sirul dibunuh kerana menjalankan arahan.

6. Kemudian kes 1MDB. Tuduhan penyelewengan dalam urusan wang berbillion Ringgit oleh Jho Low telah dibuat dengan bukti-bukti yang jelas. Tuduhan ini tidak dijawab selain dari berkata ia adalah pembohongan.

7. Kononnya aset 1MDB berjumlah 52 billion sedangkan hutang hanya 42 billion. Aset tidak jadi keuntungan sebelum dijual (dicairkan). Kenapa untuk membayar faedah sebanyak 2 billion pun terpaksa hutang dari Ananda Krishnan. Kalau 1MDB tidak rugi kenapa terpaksa hutang. Kenapa wang Kerajaan sebanyak 1 billion diberi kepada 1MDB setelah hutang dibayar?

8. Kononnya wang yang disimpan di Cayman Island sudah dibawa balik. Tetapi separuh disimpan dalam bank Swiss (BSI) di Singapura. Di mana pergi separuh lagi dari 6 billion? Kenapa wang ini tidak diguna untuk bayar faedah 2 billion.

9. Kononnya disimpan di Singapura kerana Bank Negara akan menyoal simpanan lebih dari 50 juta. Jikalau duit itu duit kita yang hanya disimpan di Cayman, apa masalahnya menjelaskan kepada Bank Negara punca wang itu. Lagi pun duit ini dimiliki oleh 1MDB yang dikuasai penuh oleh Perdana Menteri yang juga Menteri Kewangan.

10. Soalan-soalan lain berkenaan 1MDB tidak dijawab selain daripada berkata asetnya besar. Soal harga tanah Kerajaan yang dibeli oleh 1MDB tidak dijelas. Sudah tentu jika dibeli dengan harga yang murah dan dinaik nilai berkali ganda, aset ini menjadi besar. Tetapi Kerajaan rugi banyak dengan tanah miliknya dijual dengan harga yang tidak mencermin harga pasaran.

11. US$700 juta dibayar kepada Petro Saudi untuk apa? Sudahkah ditentukan Petro Saudi memiliki konsesi kawasan minyak dan gas di Argentina dan Turkmenistan sebelum membayar wang yang begitu banyak.

12. Jho Low dilapor dalam New York Times, London Times dan Sarawak Report terlibat dalam pengurusan berbillion Ringgit duit 1MDB. Siapa dianya Jho Low yang begitu dipercayai oleh Dato Sri Najib. Pegawai Malaysia yang dilantik mengurus dana 1MDB mengaku mereka diarah oleh Jho Low yang mendakwa ia mendapat kepercayaan penuh dan arahan dari Dato Sri Najib.

13. Gambar-gambar Jho Low dan kelakuannya, umurnya yang amat muda serta cara hidupnya tidak menggambarkan peribadi yang menyakinkan orang ramai. Tetapi dia dilapur membeli rumah di New York dan Hollywood beratus juta Ringgit. Kemudian rumah-rumah ini dijual kepada anak tiri Najib dengan harga ratusan juta Ringgit bagi setiap satu kerana kononnya Jho Low telah jumpa rumah yang lebih indah di Hollywood yang harganya lebih tinggi.

14. Dari mana datangnya duit beratus juta kepada Riza Aziz tidak dapat dijelas. Keluarga Tun Razak termasuk Najib menafikan duit ini adalah dari keluarga. Pelaburan ratusan juta dalam filem “Wolf of Wall Street” oleh Riza datang dari mana?

15. Dan banyaklah lagi tuduhan dan soalan terhadap 1MDB yang ditubuh oleh Dato Sri Najib dan dikuasai sepenuh olehnya sebagai penasihat yang tidak dijelas dan dijawab selain dari menafi dan mendakwa semuanya bohong belaka. Laporan-laporan dalam akhbar di New York dan London amat memalukan negara.

16. Sementara itu, walaupun Kerajaan menghadapi kekurangan wang yang besar dan terpaksa hutang, Dato Sri Najib sebagai Perdana Menteri membeli sebuah lagi pesawat mewah. Umum mengetahui pesawat ACJ319 yang sedia ada diguna bukan sahaja untuk tugas rasmi tetapi sebagai kenderaan peribadi untuk Dato Sri dan Datin Sri.

17. Dalam keadaan ekonomi tidak menentu, dalam keadaan rakyat terpaksa bayar cukai yang lebih tinggi, dalam keadaan nilai Ringgit yang menurun teruk, dalam keadaan kos sara hidup meningkat dan rakyat dilanda banjir dan kehilangan ratusan juta Ringgit, Kerajaan membazirkan wang ratusan juta untuk pesawat mewah walaupun sudah ada pesawat-pesawat milik Kerajaan.

18. Cara pembelian tidak dapat menyembunyi bahawa akhirnya Kerajaan terpaksa menanggung beban pembelian ini. Jika syarikat bukan Kerajaan yang secara rasmi membeli, bayaran melalui lease (sewa) lebih tinggi daripada belian secara langsung kerana terpaksa memberi keuntungan kepada pemilik dan faedah yang dimasukkan.

19. Selain daripada ini dasar-dasar pemerintahan Dato Sri Najib terhad kepada pemberian wang percuma, menimbul kemarahan orang Melayu dengan mengenepikan Dasar Ekonomi Baru kerana ingin mendapat sokongan orang Cina. Namun penolakan BN dalam PRU 13 membuktikan orang Cina tolak pemerintahan Najib.

20. Sesungguhnya rakyat, baik Melayu, Cina, India atau suku kaum Sabah dan Sarawak sudah tidak percaya lagi kepada Dato Sri Najib. Ahli UMNO dan pemimpinnya perlu sedar bahawa UMNO dan dengan itu BN akan kalah jika Dato Sri Najib memimpin UMNO hingga PRU 14. Apabila UMNO kalah, orang Melayu akan kutuk kepimpinan yang menjadikan parti keramat ini begitu lemah sehingga ditolak oleh bangsa Melayu sendiri. Sekali UMNO kalah, ia tidak akan dapat dipulih semula.

21. Ramai juga ahli dan pemimpin UMNO yang setia secara buta tuli kepada pemimpin. Saya juga setia tetapi kesetiaan saya ialah kepada parti dan orang Melayu yang diwakili olehnya. Bukanlah mudah bagi saya menulis blog ini. Tetapi demi bangsa dan Negara saya terpaksa dedah semua ini.

22. Saya belum nyanyok walaupun umur hampir 90 tahun. Sesiapa yang berkata saya nyanyok sebenarnya menipu diri.

23. Melayu hanya akan selamat jika bersikap bangsa lebih utama daripada diri sendiri.


Ironinya apa yang dikritik oleh Tun M itu adalah apa yang di dedahkan oleh MP PR yang dikatakan fitnah oleh pemimpin BN.
