Govt to investigate Teresa Kok’s ‘dog food’ claim
By DHARMENDER SINGH
KLANG: The government will conduct a serious investigation into claims by Seputeh MP Teresa Kok that she was served food that was “almost like dog food” while detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA).
Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department T. Murugiah said he would personally meet with Kok soon to gather her input, and also visit the police station where she was held.
He said he wanted to know who bought the food, where it was bought, how much it cost, what the allocations are for meals for detainees, and what type of food is supposed to be served.
“I am shocked with Kok’s comments on the food she was given while in detention and I will be handing in a report on my findings to the Prime Minister and the Home Minister,” he told reporters after launching a football tournament between Tamil vernacular schools from Selangor and Kuala Lumpur here on Saturday.
He said anyone arrested should be treated with respect and given proper food, and if Kok’s claims were true then what was done to her was patently unfair.
Murugiah, who is also the Public Complaints Bureau head, said the comments also put the Government and the police in a bad light.
“The Government’s credibility has been damaged and I want to solve the problem as well as ensure there is no such recurrence in the future,” he said, adding that he was upset with the entire episode.

Day 7: Malaysia on Headlines (Sept 19)
FREED : Teresa Kok relates her one-week ordeal
NST NEWSDESK (updated 4.20pm)
KUALA LUMPUR, FRI:
Seputeh MP Teresa Kok who was detained under ISA has been released. The assemblyman for Kinrara was arrested at 11.20pm last Friday believed to be over a religious matter concerning a mosque.
Kok called her counsel N. Sankara Nair at 1pm while she was being transported from Bukit Aman to the Travers Police Station.
Sankara met her there.
They are now on their way to DAP headquarters where she will hold a press conference at 3.30pm.
In a phone interview with the NST moments ago, Kok related her ordeal.
“They kept questioning me about the article (Utusan’s article ). I kept denying it," she said. “How can I be considered a national security threat?
"Till today, I don’t know why I was held under the ISA.”
It was a totally ridiculous stuation. Nobody should be held under the ISA,” she told NST.
Utusan Malaysia’s Sept 10 article entitled "Azan, Jawi, JAIS dan ba-alif ba-ya" accused Kok of petitioning a mosque to reduce the volume for azan.
She had vehemently denied the allegation.
Kok has instructed her lawyers to sue the Malaysian government for her unlawful arrest and detention under the Internal Security Act.
“If the police wanted to carry out investigation on me, they can always ask me to give statements in any of the police station and there was absolutely no need to detain me under the ISA for seven days.
“This is a phenomenal abuse of the power of the police under the ISA,” she said in a statement issued after she was released today.
She said the police had failed to produce any evidence or proof of her being involved in the activities causing racial and religious tension.
She said three main questions the investigation officers asked her were:
1. Whether she had mobilised a group of residents at Bandar Kinrara to present a petition to oppose the azan at the Bandar Kinrara mosque;
2. Whether she had made a statement that 30 per cent of the Selangor Islamic Department allocation was to be given to other non Islamic religious bodies, and
3. Whether she had opposed to the Jawi wording of road signages in Kuala Lumpur.
She denied the first two accusations.
On the Jawi road signages, she said this was done early this year at the request and following the pressure of resident association.

Day 8: Malaysia on Headlines (Sept 18)
Anwar calls for parliament vote to oust Malaysia PM
By Soo Ai Peng
KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim called for parliament to be convened by next Tuesday to hold a vote of confidence in which he hopes to oust Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and form a new government.
Anwar insisted at a press conference on Thursday that he had won over sufficient MPs from the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition as to form a new government, but declined to provide names or numbers, saying that would place the lawmakers at risk.
The date Anwar set to recall parliament, which is currently in recess, is one day before he is due in court on a charge that he sodomized a male aide. He denies the charge and says it is motivated by the government's desire to keep him out of power.
"We must realize this is now a minority government. The majority of MPs are with us now," Anwar told a news conference.
No one was immediately available to comment from the government.
Abdullah has refused to meet Anwar and denied that the 30 MPs the opposition needs to form the next government have deserted the ruling coalition, calling Anwar's claims a "mirage."
Anwar's three-party alliance has 82 MPs in the 222-strong Malaysian parliament and if it wins power, it will displace the coalition that has run this Southeast Asian country of 27 million people for over 50 years since independence from Britain.
The rivalry between Anwar and senior leaders in the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), the main party in the 14-strong ruling coalition is intense and deeply personal.
"A delay in his (Abdullah's) response would be interpreted as nothing short of a further sabotage of democratic process and abuse of executive powers," Anwar said.
Anwar was deputy prime minister and looked set for the top job until he was sacked by then-prime minister Mahathir Mohamad and imprisoned in the late 1990s on charges of sodomy and corruption.
The opposition has pressured the government since elections in March when it deprived it of a two-thirds majority in parliament for the first time.
Abdullah has come under pressure to quit ahead of a 2010 date agreed with his party to hand over power to his deputy Najib Razak and handed over the key finance ministry job to Najib on Wednesday, a day ahead of a meeting of top UMNO leaders.
Ever since Anwar was dismissed, the prime minister in Malaysia has held the finance post and Abdullah also hinted that he might leave office early.
DAMAGING UNCERTAINTY, ECONOMIC WORRIES
(Writing by David Chance; Editing by Sanjeev Miglani)
The prolonged political uncertainty has hit Malaysian assets hard, the stock market was down 25 percent this year even before the latest turn in the U.S. credit crisis forced investment banking giant Lehman Bros out of business.
Inflation in Malaysia has surged to close to 27-year highs and the country is now competing with other Asian nations who have enacted economic reforms to attract foreign investment.
The cost of insuring Malaysian bonds against default has risen to $176,729 per $10 million of debt from $90,185 prior to the March election, based on prices for 5-year credit default swaps, a barometer of risk.
Anwar, a former finance minister with a strong reputation among international investors for his reaction to Asia's financial crisis in 1997, said he was a better choice than Abdullah or Najib, who has no finance experience to lead the country.
"Even (with) a Pakatan Rakyat (his coalition) government it is going to be tough under the current economic problems," Anwar said.

Town in shock over murder of kidnapped girl
By : Jassmine Shadiqe
KULAI JAYA: The sleepy neighbourhood of Taman Putri here was reeling from shock yesterday following the discovery of the partially- charred body of a 16-year-old schoolgirl in a clearing.
Residents reacted in horror when it was learnt that the victim, Lai Ying Xin, was kidnapped on Thursday and was believed to have been murdered even before the ransom of RM60,000 was paid.
Police were led to the body yesterday about 1am by four suspects, between the ages of 16 and 22. One of the suspects is believed to have been the victim's boyfriend.
Marked bills amounting to RM20,000, believed to be part of the ransom, were also found on the suspects.
Police believe the suspects went ahead and demanded the ransom even after the victim was murdered and her body burnt. She is believed to have been murdered within 24 hours of the abduction.
She is believed to have been murdered elsewhere before her body was dumped in Taman Putri.
Lai, a student of Sekolah Menengah Kulai, who also worked part-time in a hypermarket, is believed to have been kidnapped while she was on her way home.
Police said she was bundled into a Perodua Kembara by the suspects. Police had also seized the vehicle from one of the suspects currently in custody.
State police deputy chief Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah said Lai was probably killed as she knew one of the kidnappers.
"The kidnappers were afraid the victim would point them out once she was released after the ransom was paid," said Tun Hisan.
He said the victim's mother had received a call demanding a ransom on Friday evening.
"Lai usually returned home by 9pm but when there was no sign of her on Thursday night, the family lodged a missing person's report," he said.
After negotiations, the sum of RM60,000 was agreed upon as the ransom. The money, which was in a sports bag, was dropped off at secluded spot in a housing area in Kulai at 3am on Monday.
Police made a breakthrough in the investigations on Monday evening, which led them to the arrest of a 16-year-old school dropout and two men in their 20s who were seen driving in the area in a Perodua Kembara.
Part of the ransom money was found on the suspects.
In follow-up operations, police picked up another 16-year-old in Taman Putri.
All four suspects have been remanded until Sept 21 to facilitate investigations. They had led police to a secluded road in Taman Putri, where the body was found.
The body was sent to Sultanah Aminah Hospital for a post-mortem.

No names, no list, no crossovers
By : NST NEWSDESK (Updated: 3:40pm)
PETALING JAYA, TUES:
THE SEPT 16 deadline to effect a takeover of the Government as repeatedly announced by PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim failed to materialise at 2.30pm this afternoon as anticipated.
At a press conference at the Parti Keadilan Rakyat headquarters in Merchant Square in Petaling Jaya, Anwar declined to name the MPs whom he claimed to have crossed over for fear that they would be harassed.
Anwar, however, insisted that he had the numbers to form the majority to take over from the current Government, although he refused to reveal the number of MPs crossing over.
He added that he had sought a meeting with the prime minister to inform the latter about the list but has not yet received a reply.
"I will show the PM the list when he meets me," Anwar said.
Political, global tensions drag down stock mart
extracted from: (http://www.btimes.com.my/Current_News/BTIMES/Tuesday/Frontpage/markety-2.xml/Article/)
Most investors are taking money off the table, not willing to take a chance in the Malaysian stock market until they can see some form of solid catalyst or lead, says a research head
THE stock market closed lower in dismal trade yesterday amid heightened political tensions and concerns about the global economy following a shake-up on Wall Street.
This lack of investor interest is likely to continue over the short term, analysts and fund managers said, spawning concern that the Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (KLCI) could soon fall below the psychologically important 1,000-point mark.
The KLCI, which closed 12.4 points or 1.2 per cent lower to 1,031.63 yesterday, has not breached the 1,000-point level since November 2006.
Yesterday was also the KLCI's lowest close since November 2006.
"Given the uncertainties at home and abroad, most investors are taking money off the table, not willing to take a chance in the stock market until they can see some form of solid catalyst or lead," said Vincent Khoo, head of research at Aseambankers.
A mere 306.9 million shares valued at RM682.2 million were traded yesterday. Only 12 stocks on the KLCI rose.
Khoo said a big part of the market's listlessness was due to investors being jittery a day ahead of a September 16 target set by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, former deputy prime minister and de facto opposition leader, to wrest control from the government.
The arrest of three individuals under the Internal Security Act last weekend, one of whom has since been released, also served to heighten political tensions, dealers said.
Regional markets, however, also closed lower yesterday, with Hong Kong on public holiday and news of the fall of two major financial institutions in the US, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch, hurting sentiment.
Indonesia was the worst hit market in Asia, falling 4.7 per cent to 1719.25 points, while Singapore slid 3.27 per cent to 2486.55.
Financial markets in Japan, South Korea and China were also closed yesterday for a public holiday and will re-open today
