Tengku Putera, Shabery, Rahin isi jawatan utama

KUALA TERENGGANU (Berita Harian): Pengerusi Badan Perhubungan Umno Terengganu, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein semalam mengumumkan tiga pelantikan baru bagi mengisi tiga jawatan utama Badan Perhubungan Umno negeri ini yang sebelum ini dilanda pelbagai konflik dalaman.

Ketua Umno Bahagian Hulu Terengganu, Datuk Tengku Putera Awang yang juga Yang Dipertua Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) dilantik sebagai Setiausaha Perhubungan Umno negeri yang baru menggantikan Ketua Umno Bahagian Dungun, Datuk Rosli Mat Hassan yang digugurkan.

Tengku Putera sebelum ini adalah Timbalan Pengerusi Badan Perhubungan Umno negeri dan digugurkan selepas kepemimpinan Umno Terengganu dirombak yang menyaksikan Hishammuddin yang juga Naib Presiden Umno mengetuainya manakala Menteri Besar, Datuk Ahmad Said dilantik sebagai timbalan.

Menteri Belia dan Sukan yang juga Timbalan Ketua Umno Bahagian Kemaman, Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek pula dilantik semula sebagai Ketua Penerangan Umno negeri menggantikan Datuk Mohd Zuber Embong yang digugurkan. Beliau sebelum ini pernah memegang jawatan sama ketika bekas Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh mengetuai Umno Terengganu.

Exco Belia dan Sukan negeri, Datuk Abdul Rahin Mohd Said yang juga Timbalan Ketua Umno Bahagian Kuala Nerus pula dilantik sebagai Bendahari Perhubungan Umno Terengganu menggantikan Datuk Roslan Awang Chik yang turut digugurkan.

Pada sidang media selepas mempengerusikan mesyuarat perhubungan Umno berkenaan, Hishammuddin berkata, pengumuman tiga jawatan utama perhubungan itu adalah titik permulaan kepemimpinannya di Terengganu.

Beliau berkata, pemilihan tiga individu itu dalam menjawat jawatan berkenaan juga jelas membuktikan bahawa beliau tidak terikat atau pro kepada mana-mana kumpulan kerana matlamat utama lantikan untuk memulihkan Umno Terengganu.

Ditanya sama ada pengguguran tiga pemimpin Umno negeri itu ada hubung kait dengan siasatan yang dijalankan Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) berhubung dakwaan rasuah sebagaimana dilaporkan media, Hishammuddin berkata perkara itu tidak berkaitan.

“Perubahan pimpinan tak ada kaitan.. bagi saya yang paling penting adalah usaha kita untuk memikul tanggungjawab. Bagi yang melepaskan jawatan atau tak diberikan jawatan tak semestinya tugas dan tanggungjawab mereka lebih mudah. Ini bermakna tanggungjawab atau tugasan lain yang perlu dipikul akan terus dipikul,” katanya.

MB raps T’ganu PWD for defects in aquatic complex

KUALA TERENGGANU (The Star): Mentri Besar Datuk Ahmad Said sharply rapped Terengganu Public Works Department for failing to properly oversee the construction of the RM18mil-Batu Burok Aquatic Complex here.

Ahmad, who made a surprise visit to the complex Saturday, was visibly upset when he discovered numerous defects in the structure of the building that caters for aquatic related sporting events.

“PWD should have scrutinised the construction from the start. Instead, there are now leaks in the roof and stagnant water at several parts of the building,” he said.

“They should have also taken into account the costs of operation and maintenance of the complex if the building materials were not according to specifications.

“Now this oversight has caused unnecessary expenses for the state, he said.

Ahmad said PWD engineers should have checked the type of materials used for the construction of the complex as groundwork for buildings situated close to the beachfront required resin-based building substances to withstand the weather.

The type of building materials used should have been closely monitored from the beginning to prevent deterioration over the years, he said.

Ahmad was also disappointed to see steel supporting the canvass roofs at the complex corroded merely a year after it completion.

“However, the complex’s roof was made of canvass or else we would have had another roof collapsing episode here.

“The steel pillars in the complex should have been coated with anti-rust and what we see today is very disappointing,” he said adding that he would call for immediate remedial work at the complex.

Ahmad said PWD’s engineers and architects should have been more responsible by conducting constant checks from the start of the construction until the completion.

Terengganu Swimming Association secretary Yan Kong Lee said the defects were reported to PWD last year.

He said the leaks in the complex roof had also damaged facilities and computers in the office inside the aquatic centre.

Meanwhile, former state executive councillor Datuk Wan Hashim Wan Salleh blasted opposition leaders here for faulting the state government in Tuesday’s roof collapse mishap at Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin stadium in Gong Badak here. Wan Hisham who previously helmed Infrastructure, Public Amenity and Communication committee during the reign of former Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh lamented that the opposition was entirely blaming the state government, particularly the former administration for the mishap.

“They are just looking for a scapegoat. This is definitely unethical,” he said when contacted here Saturday.

Wan Hisham said the opposition leaders should wait for the outcome of the probe into the mishap before pointing fingers.

He was commenting on statement from State PAS deputy information chief, Dr Alias Razak that the state government had responded lackadaisically to complaints brought up last year about the deterioration spotted at the stadium’s roof frame.

On the ongoing probe over roof collapse by Public Works Department (PWD), Wan Hisham urged PWD to thoroughly investigate from all aspects including engineering, design and construction of the structure.

The probe should also concentrate on the possibility of sabotage that could have caused the roof to collapse, he added.

However, Wan Hisham declined to elaborate on what he meant by the possibility of sabotage as he has to wait for the preliminary report on the mishap before commenting further.

Ramzi ditahan di hotel

KUALA TERENGGANU (Harian Metro): Polis Terengganu menahan bekas setiausaha politik kepada bekas Menteri Besar Terengganu, Datuk Dr Ahmad Ramzi Mohamad Zubir jam 8.30 pagi, semalam.

Difahamkan, beliau ditahan di sebuah hotel selepas tempoh tiga hari diberikan polis terhadapnya untuk hadir memberi keterangan sejak Jumaat lalu berakhir.

Timbalan Ketua Polis negeri, Senior Asisten Komisioner II Hamzah Mohd Jamil, berkata tangkapan dibuat bagi melengkapkan kertas siasatan kes SMS ugutan bunuh membabitkan tiga Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (Adun) Barisan Nasional (BN) Terengganu pada 13 Mac lalu.

Menurutnya, polis turut merampas dua komputer riba dan sebuah modem dari rumah beliau di Kampung Kubang Parit kira-kira jam 3 petang kelmarin menggunakan waran geledah.

Katanya, Dr Ahmad Ramzi kini ditahan di Ibu Pejabat Polis Kontinjen (IPK) negeri untuk siasatan lanjut dan akan direman mengikut Seksyen 117 Kanun Acara Jenayah jika siasatan tidak dapat dilengkapkan dalam tempoh 24 jam

“Polis akan menyiasat kes itu mengikut Seksyen 507 Kanun Keseksaan bagi kesalahan ugutan jenayah, Seksyen 500 Kanun Keseksaan bagi kesalahan memfitnah serta Seksyen 233 Akta Telekomunikasi dan Multimedia 1998 kerana penggunaan tidak wajar kemudahan rangkaian dan perkhidmatan rangkaian,” katanya di IPK Terengganu, semalam.

Hadir sama Timbalan Ketua Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah negeri, Superintendan K Manoharan.

Menurutnya, sebaik siasatan lengkap, polis akan merujuk kertas siasatan kes itu ke pejabat Timbalan Pendakwa Raya untuk mendapat arahan lanjut termasuk mendakwa Dr Ahmad Ramzi.

Katanya, polis mempunyai bukti menunjukkan beliau terbabit dalam kes itu dan siasatan dijangka selesai dalam minggu ini bergantung kepada kerjasama diberikan.

Beliau berkata, siasatan dibuat setakat ini mendapati SMS ugutan bunuh diterima tiga Adun BN terbabit iaitu Datuk Rosol Wahid (Ajil), Abdul Halim Jusoh (Permaisuri) dan Mohd Ariffin Abdullah (Paka) pada 13 April lalu bukan dihantar menerusi telefon bimbit milik Setiausaha Sulit Kanan kepada Menteri Besar.

Pada 23 April lalu, polis menahan seorang kerani berusia 31 tahun yang bekerja di sebuah syarikat swasta di Bandar Baru Bangi, Selangor serta merampas peralatan termasuk komputer peribadi lelaki itu digunakan untuk menghantar SMS berkenaan.

Polis sudah menubuhkan satu pasukan khas menyiasat kes penyebaran SMS ugutan itu bagi mengelak kekeliruan dalam kalangan orang awam.

Sementara itu, di luar bangunan IPK, beberapa penyokong Dr Ahmad Ramzi kelihatan tenang berkumpul bagi memberikan sokongan kepadanya.

Police arrest Ahmad Ramzi over threatening SMS

KUALA TERENGGANU (The Star): Police arrested Datuk Dr Ahmad Ramzi Mohamad Zubir, the political secretary to former Terengganu Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh, on Tuesday to assist investigations into the threatening text message received by three Barisan Nasional assemblymen last month.

Deputy state police chief SAC II Hamzah Mohd Jamil said with Ahmad Ramzi’s arrest, police believed they have settled about 95 per cent of the case.

Police also seized two laptop computers and a modem from Ahmad Ramzi’s home in Kampung Kubang Parit, near here, at 3pm Tuesday.

“This is not an easy case as it involves technical matters. But we have acted to solve the case as soon as possible,” he said.

Police had been looking for Ahmad Ramzi as he was among the individuals who had given media statements regarding the death threat contained in the text message received by Ajil assemblyman Datuk Rosol Wahid, Abdul Halim Jusoh (Permaisuri) and Zakaria Abdullah (Paka) on April 13.

This prompted 10 Barisan assemblymen, including the three who received the message, to stay away from the Terengganu state assembly sitting on April 14.

Hamzah said, Ahmad Ramzi, who was a Barisan candidate in the 12th general election, was being held at the Terengganu police headquarters and would be remanded if the investigations could not be completed within 24 hours.

Police were investigating the case under Section 507 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation and Section 500 of the same law for defamation.

Ahmad Ramzi is also being investigated under the Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1988 for improper use of network services. – Bernama

Datuk Ahmad Ramzi wanted by police over SMS threats

KUALA TERENGGANU, Mon (NST):

Datuk Dr Ahmad Ramzi Mohammad, the political secretary to former Terengganu Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh, is now wanted by police.

Police obtained today a warrant of arrest for the 42-year-old after he failed to take up their offfer to turn up for questioning within 72 hours.

Terengganu police had given him three days from Friday to show up or face arrest so that he can be interviewed in connection with the SMS death threats that were sent to three assemblymen last month.

Terengganu police deputy chief SAC II Hamzah Mohd Jamil said police have also issued an alert to the Immigration Department to ensure that Zamri does not leave the country.

Interpol have also been informed to trace Ahmad Ramzi’s whereabouts.
“Those with information about him should call the nearest police station as Ramzi’s cooperation is very much needed for this case,” he told reporters.

The SMS threat issue took centre stage last month amid a political tug of war between embattled Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Said and at least 10 state assembleymen aligned to to Idris.

The three assemblymen lodged police reports shortly after receiving the SMS threats.

Ramzi, who is now Idris’ special officer, was also at the police station grounds when they lodged the reports.

In their reports, the three assemblymen said the SMSes were believed to have been sent by Ahmad’s senior private secretary , Wan Ahmad Wan Muda, who allegedly told them not to proceed with a rumoured plan to table a motion of no-confidence against Ahmad at the state assembly sitting.

The three and the seven other ‘rebels’, citing security concerns, boycotted the sitting next day and Wan Ahmad also lodged a police report on the matter next day.

Police later absolved him (Wan Ahmad) of any involvement. Several days later a 31-year-old clerk from Seri Kembangan was arrested at his house, suspected of being the SMS sender.

Ahmad Ramzi went missing a day after the clerk was arrested.

The case is being investigated under Section 507 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation by annonymous communication.
