KUALA LUMPUR: The UMNO Youth wing has described news portal The Malaysian Insider (TMI) portal as increasingly rude after the allegedly news report on the Council of Rulers has rejected the the proposed amendments to a federal law concerning the implementation of hudud.

Umno Youth social media bureau chairman Ibdilillah Ishak said, TMI should be held responsible and receive retribution from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) immediately.

He also said since the Keeper of the Rulers' Seal Datuk Seri Syed Danial Syed Ahmad had also denied issuing any statement on Kelantan's hudud plan, the MCMC should take stern action against TMI to deter other news portals from publishing any provocative statements concerning the Malay rulers.

"We condemn the false statement made by pro-opposition portal TMI who reported that the Malay Rulers reject the proposal to amend to a federal law over the implementation of hudud.

"The TMI report is a form of malicious slander by the pro-DAP and PKR portal aimed at jeopardising the glory institutions of the Malay sultanate.

"These false statements were also denied by the Keeper of the Rulers Seal during the day," he said in a memorandum sent to MCMC here today.

The memorandum was received by MCMC Strategic Communications senior director, Sheikh Raffie Abd Rahman.

Ibdilillah said TMI is known for disseminating false news that are fraudulent.

"In this issue, who is the 'source' being referred by TMR? Or do they only want to cause a negative perception of the Malay Rulers?

"TMI often apologized after reporting news which is not true. Do they practice damage control all this while?" he said.

Obviously, the incident prove that TMI is full false information

"We urge the Commission to take action as heavy as possible against TMI immediately.

"We support the freedom of the media, but there should be a reminder that the freedom has its limitation and must be held accountable,” he said.

1MDB: DAP lapor MIA, dakwa juru audit culas

Tony Pua

KUALA LUMPUR - DAP menggesa Institut Akauntan Malaysia (MIA) menyiasat firma audit, KPMG dan Ernst & Young yang bertanggungjawab dalam mengaudit laporan akaun syarikat 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB)

Setiausaha Publisiti DAP, Tony Pua berkata, pihaknya ada menggariskan beberapa dakwaan yang perlu dijelaskan MIA yang disifatkan sebagai keculasan ahlinya menjalankan tugas.

"Hari ini saya buat aduan kepada MIA dan menggesa agar MIA menyiasat peranan KPMG dan mungkin Ernst & Young dalam perkara ini sama ada mereka bertanggungjawab atau berkongsi tanggungjawab dalam skandal ini.

"Mengikut akta, MIA perlu siasat dan keluarkan laporan," katanya kepada Sinar Online ketika ditemui selepas membuat laporan di pejabat MIA, hari ini.

Mengulas lanjut, Tony Pua menyebut bahawa dalam laporannya, beliau mempersoalkan tentang laporan akaun 1MDB pada tahun 2010 yang telah disiapkan dalam tempoh hanya sebulan sahaja sedangkan 1MDB merupakan syarikat yang membuat transaksi melibatkan wang berbilion.

"KPMG tidak menjalankan tugas dengan penuh kerana laporan (akaun 1MDB) mereka disiapkan dalam sebulan walaupun juru audit sebelumnya, Ernst & Young telah meletakkan jawatan mereka kerana tak rela nak 'sign' akaun. Jadi, memang ada situasi yang diragui.

"Ernst & Young meletakkan jawatan pada Ogos 2010 kemudian KPMG dilantik pada September dan mereka 'sign' laporan audit pada 4 Oktober. Sebulan sahaja. Diragui mereka jalankan tugas dgn jujur.

"1MDB menjalankan transaksi berbilion ringgit. Kalau berbilion ringgit, juru audit kena semak dengan penuh sebelum tandatangan akaun," katanya.

Malah katanya, status 1MDB sebagai anak syarikat kepada Kementerian Kewangan menambah lagi tanggungjawab audit itu kerana ia melibatkan wang rakyat.

Katanya, juru audit bertanggungjawab untuk menyiasat perkara-perkara yang meragui atau disyaki ada penyelewengan mahupun penipuan.

"Namun juru audit tidak membangkitkan sebarang persoalan atau melaporkan kepada pihak berkuasa yang tertentu," katanya.
