Aeril Zafrel Respon Isu NIkahI Wawa Zainal.

Semalam, pelakon Aeril Zafrel menulis di akaun Twitternya sebagai respons kepada laporan Berita Harian, dia dikhabarkan sudah sah bernikah dengan pelakon Wawa Zainal. Malah mereka juga sudah pun menimang seorang cahayamata pada 24 Ogos 2013 yang lalu selepas bernikah pada 4 Februari tahun ini.
 Kata-kata Aeril itu memberi gambaran apa yang ditulis wartawan Berita Harian itu sebagai senjata terakhir pihak tertentu untuk mengaibkan dirinya. “Alhamdulillah, ‘mereka’ telah keluarkan ‘senjata terakhir’ seperti yang dijangkakan. Terlalu naif ‘mereka’ yang lontar batu sembunyi tangan ini,” tulis pelakon yang popular dengan drama Cinta Jannah di TV3 ini.
 Aeril turut berkata, sampai masanya nanti dia akan dedahkan siapa dan apakah tujuan sebenar mereka melakukan perkara ini. Aeril juga meminta mereka yang ingin kepastian menghubungi sendiri wartawan yang menulis kisah tersebut.

 “Buat masa sekarang Aeril tidak mahu beri sebarang komen tentang perkara tersebut tatapi dia beritahu saya bahawa dia akan mengambil tindakan mahkamah, apa-apa pun tunggu kenyataan dia nanti,” ujar pembantu peribadi Aeril Zafrel.

Nadeem Hadiahkan Nora Danish Banglo RM 7.2 Juta.

"Setahu saya dia beli rumah dan sebuah kereta mewah untuk ibunya dan ia bukan wang Nadeem seorang. Ia bukan untuk saya dan saya kasihan dengan dia kerana apa yang dia buat semuanya dikaitkan dengan saya," ujar aktres cantik, Nora Danish.
 Beliau berkata demikian bagi mengulas mengenai laporan beberapa media yang mengatakan kekasihnya, Nadim Mohamed Nazri atau Nadeem, membelikan sebuah rumah yang bernilai RM7.2juta untuknya. Nora berkata, dia berharap penjelasannya ini menjadi titik noktah dan tidak ada lagi yang mengaitkan isu pembelian rumah dan kereta mewah itu dengan dirinya.
 Aktres itu mengaku Nadeem adalah lelaki yang rapat dengannya kini tetapi menegaskan dia berkawan dengan anak kepada Menteri Pelancongan, Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz itu bukan kerana harta. "Saya tidak nafikan, sejak rapat dengan Nadeem, ramai kata saya berkawan dengan dia kerana harta dan dia anak menteri.
 Tetapi kalau orang boleh fikir, buat apa saya nak cari yang kaya, anak menteri, kerana pengalaman lalu banyak ajar saya. "Apa yang saya pentingkan adalah kami selesa antara satu sama lain. Keluarga juga selesa dengan kami," jelas Nora.

Djokovic Beats Nadal For Fourth China Open Win.

BEIJING: World number one Novak Djokovic overcame Spain's Rafael Nadal in straight sets on Sunday to win the China Open and maintain a remarkable 100 percent record in the Beijing tournament.
 The defending champion, who has won the event the four times he has entered, was at his ruthless best to defeat Nadal 6-3, 6-4, a day before he is set to be unseated at the top of the world rankings by the number two Spaniard. The result was Nadal's first hardcourt loss of the season.
 The second seed in Beijing only showed rare glimpses of the form that has seen him win 10 titles this year, with his Serbian opponent racing to a 3-0 lead in the first ten minutes. Top seed Djokovic then powered ahead, showing formidable power-hitting to take the first set 25 minutes later. The pair displayed incredible movement in the opening game of the second set, engaging in quickfire net-play, much to the delight of the crowd.
 Nadal came out on top of that duel, winning the point, but Djokovic took the game to break serve. Djokovic then kept his nerve, holding serve until the conclusion of the match on one hour 27 minutes. The victory represents a sweet one for Djokovic, who is spending his 101st week at number one, and will have his current streak of 48 weeks ended on Monday when the ATP announce its new rankings with Nadal at the top.
 The Spaniard only needed to make the final to unseat him. After the match, Djokovic congratulated Nadal on his achievement. "I have to say congratulations to Rafael because he deserves definitely to be number one of the world this year with the season that he has had," he said in an interview on court. "He is the best player so far in 2013, there is no question about it. "I am just very happy to be able to continue to play well and hopefully I can maintain the rhythm."
 Djokovic has been in dominant form at the China Open, where he has an unbeaten run stretching back to 2009. He did not attend in 2011. Nadal has had the beating of Djokovic this season, coming out on top at the semi-finals at Roland Garros and last month's final at the US Open, as well as the Canada Masters. But he said that Djokovic was "too strong" for him in Beijing at the serve. Nadal did not break his opponent throughout the match.
 "I didn't play my best match this afternoon. But he played at a greater level with his serve. I was not able to have any chance when I was returning during the whole match. "He was able to hit all the balls where he wanted to hit them, so when that is happening against a player like Novak you are dead." Nadal's return to the top for the first time since July 2011 marks an astonishing comeback for the 13-time Grand Slam champion, who spent the second half of last year on the sidelines injured.
 Heading into the match at Beijing's National Tennis Centre, the pair had played each other 37 times, with Nadal leading the rivalry 22-15. The winner of the China Open takes $557,100 prize money and 500 ATP Points.

Bungled RM2bil Security Contract; Not Entirely Edu Ministry's Fault- Security Contractor.

KUALA LUMPUR: All eyes are now on the Education Ministry after the Auditor-General revealed last week that it has wasted RM2.025bil on sub-standard security services from 2010 to 2012. Understandably, Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and his deputy P. Kamalanathan were furious.
 They call for action to be taken against the errant firms and probe be conducted to find out whether there were elements of ineffectiveness or unsystematic implementation by the service providers. While everyone seem to be focussing the blame on the ministry and the security industry, a security contractor met by Malaysian Digest recently said there were more to the issue than just numbers.
 He defended the ministry's spending and attributed the bulk of the ballooning costs to the ministry's initiative of implementing the minimum wage. "It is not entirely their fault. In fact, the Education Ministry should be applauded for being the first ministry in the country to implement the minimum wage for security guards, as requested by the government," he said. "They are the one and only government entity willing to help the industry at a time when other ministries and even private sectors were keeping quite and tried to delay the implementation as long as they can," he said.
 Thus, the contractor explained the RM2.052bil, spent during the three-year duration, should not be regarded as wastage. This, he said was because more than half of the amount were slated for the security guards' salary anyway. "It is easy to put the blame on the ministry or the security industry but not many were willing to look beyond the numbers and find out what is actually happening beneath it all," he said. The contractor however do admit that there were some bad apples in the industry and weaknesses in the system, leading to accusation of corruption.
 "Some say that the Education Ministry is the biggest cash cow for those who want to make a fast buck. This may be true in the past... before the implementation of the minimum wage. "Since the government introduced the RM900 minimum wage, the margin has shrunk significantly. For some firms, more than 80 per cent of the revenues were for the workers' salaries, "I have to admit that there are some security firms that did not follow the regulations but it doesn’t imply to all security firms,’ he said.
 He said problems arises not just due to the weak monitoring and enforcement but also the process of awarding contracts to the security firms. "Right from the beginning, there was no coordination between Home Ministry that conducts the vetting and Education Ministry that gives out the contracts, "Take for example Selangor, there are 70 zones and each zones will have about 10 schools. "As a security firm, we are required to check each and every schools there and submit our findings.
 During this process, due to time constraint and manpower issue, we had to re-hire and retrain the existing security guards, pending Home Ministry's vetting. "The vetting process itself takes a long time, almost a month. While waiting for the approval, we sometime go to the police station to check whether the security guards had any criminal records. "If the Home Ministry rejected the application, we will have to terminate them immediately and the process starts over again,” he said.
 "But the Education Ministry wants everything to be ready within two weeks after the contract was awarded," "We have to prepare everything including the manpower, the entire school's CCTV system, security procedures etc. Not all companies can provide everything in such a short time," he said. In most cases, it was not even the security guards' fault. "Whenever there are cases of break-ins for example, the first person the police go for is the security guard.
There was a case where I had to terminate the services of a 50-something-year-old security guard just because he had a police record - for stealing when he was a teenager. "And he was not even involved in the break-in at that particular school!" he said. At the same time, he said, security firms, out of courtesy, would have to pay or replace the stolen items to the schools. "We have to admit there are weaknesses - some may be too lenient while others too strict.
 There are also some who are not serious with their job. After all, we are dealing with human beings. "Many have gone through basic training and know the standard operating procedures. If they do cross the line, each security companies do have their own punishments and it can range from pay cuts to termination of service," he said. Back on the minimum wage issue, the security contractor said although the wage is set at RM900, the actual salary paid to each security guards are higher, ranging from RM1,500 to RM2,100.
 This, he said was because the RM900 wage were set based on eight hours of work for the period of 26 days. In an actual situation, the security guards work for 12 hours for roughly 30 days. "Before the implemention, their take-home pay was about RM1,400 but since the minimum wage was implemented, the can easily get about RM2,000," he said. The security contractor said urged all parties including the ministries involved and security companies to improve the guidelines and come up with methods that could be beneficial to all.
 "Whatever the regulations set we will have to follow but the way the tenders are awarded should be scrutinised further," he said. He also urged other ministries to toe the line and implement the minimum wage initiative like the Education Ministry. Since 2010, it was reported that a total of RM2.025 billion had been spent on security services for schools nationwide, with a total of 760 contracts awarded to 364 firms. According to the AG's findings, 74 per cent of the 35 schools audited in three states were not given the personal details of all their security guards, while 76 of 129 guards working in the schools also had noproof that they had no criminal records.
 The report said the audit also found that there were guards who exceeded the age limit and some who failed to submit health screening reports from government hospitals. It said the Education Ministry had to be firm in enforcing the terms of the contracts with security firms to ensure effective service and enhance security for the benefit of the teachers and students as well as government assets.
 A ministry response to the report, made on June 11 this year, stated that the ministry had issued a reminder dated March 20 to all state education departments and the relevant schools to issue a warning letter and cut payments to security service companies which breach the contracts.

Nasi Kangkang Masih Menjadi Pilihan.

KEMAMAN: Pengasas Pusat Rawatan Islam At-Tobibi, Datuk Shamsuri Safie mendedahkan masih terdapat wanita Islam yang menggunakan nasi kangkang bukan sahaja untuk menundukkan suami, bahkan ada yang bertujuan memporak-perandakan kebahagiaan jiran tetangga seperti kes yang terjadi di Dungun. Shamsuri berkata, kisah nasi kangkang bukan cerita dongeng, sebaliknya sihir itu masih lagi menjadi amalan segelintir kecil wanita untuk mencapai matlamat songsang mereka.
 “Seperti pasangan suami isteri dari Dungun yang saya rawat hari ini, mereka terkena nasi kangkang yang diberikan seseorang sehingga pasangan ini jadi saling membenci dan apa yang kita boleh lihat, matlamat penyihir mungkin untuk merampas suami atau harta atau mahu melihat keluarga ini hancur akibat hasad dengki dengan kebahagiaan keluarga ini,” katanya.
 Shamsuri berkata, berdasarkan pengakuan mangsa yang kedua-duanya bekerja sebagai polis, bukan sahaja mereka sekeluarga terkena sihir itu, malah seluruh penghuni di blok sama dengan rumah mereka turut mengalami nasib sama apabila kesemuanya saling berbalah. Menyedari sesuatu yang aneh, pasangan terbabit masing-masing berumur 43 dan 41 tahun membuat keputusan berpindah dari kawasan perumahan itu sejak dua bulan lalu sebelum mendapatkan rawatan secara Islam sempena Rawatan Perdana Pusat Rawatan Islam At-Tobibi di Surau As-Soliheen, Taman Desa Solehah, Kampung Mak Chili Paya, di sini, kelmarin. Katanya, perasaan hasad dengki sangat bahaya, justeru masyarakat Islam diingatkan supaya berhati-hati daripada menerima apa-apa termasuk makanan daripada individu mencurigakan, di samping mengamalkan membaca ayat suci al-Quran dan doa pelindung sebelum menjamah makanan.
 Bagaimanapun, sepanjang pengalaman beliau merawat ramai pesakit, Shamsuri berkata, tidak ramai yang terkena sihir nasi kangkang berikutan amalan itu hanya dipelajari daripada keturunan dan mempunyai jampi atau mantera khusus. Shamsuri berkata, ada antara pengamal nasi kangkang sudah insaf seperti yang berlaku pada seorang warga emas di Johor yang bertaubat pada usia 63 tahun selepas dia diuji dengan kematian suami dan enam anaknya silih berganti.
 “Kes ini terjadi pada 2005, nenek ini mula menjadi bomoh nasi kangkang sejak berusia 32 tahun dan ketika itu, ramai wanita datang berjumpanya bagi mendapatkan nasi kangkang hingga yang paling dahsyat, ada isteri sanggup meletakkan darah haid ke dalam nasi. “Suami nenek ini turut terkena sehingga menjadi bodoh dan disepak terajang olehnya, namun selepas diuji dengan kemiskinan dan kematian suami serta anak-anak, nenek ini berfikir selama tiga tahun untuk meninggalkan perbuatan syiriknya dan akhirnya dia bertaubat,” katanya.
 Pada program rawatan perdana itu, kira-kira 150 pesakit dari seluruh Terengganu termasuk dari Kuantan, Pahang hadir untuk mendapatkan rawatan dan ramai antaranya mengalami masalah sakit misteri. Pengerusi Surau As-Soliheen, Mohd Kamal Shafie berkata, program rawatan perdana itu adalah yang kedua diadakan dan dijadikan sebagai aktiviti surau setiap bulan.
 Program seterusnya akan diadakan pada 2 November depan bermula jam 9.30 pagi hingga 6.30 petang dan sehari sebelumnya iaitu pada Jumaat rawatan akan diadakan di Sekolah Agama Rakyat (SAR) Felda Kerteh 6 bermula jam 2.30 hingga 6.30 petang.

Border Manager Fails To Get Charge Again Her Dropped.

NIK RAINA NIK ABDUL AZIZ, the manager of Borders bookstore, has failed in her attempt to get the charge against her for distributing a 'banned' book by Canadian author Irshad Manji dropped.
 Syariah judge Abdul Walid Abu Hassan dismissed the application after ruling that the civil High Court's judicial review decision in finding the charge groundless, should not be used to interfere in Syariah court proceedings. He said Nik Raina has not been tried and it was up to the Syariah prosecutor to prove their case whether the book was against the Islamic law (Hukum Syarak).
 The judge then stayed the trial pending appeal by the prosecutor in the judicial review. Nik Raina, 36, was accused on June 19 last year of distributing Manji's Bahasa Malaysia translation of the book titled "Allah, Liberty and Love". She was alleged to have committed the offence on May 23 last year at the Borders bookshop at Level 3, The Gardens Mall, in Mid Valley City. On March this year, the High Court in Kuala Lumpur found the Federal Territory Islamic Affairs Department (JAWI) to have acted illegally in raiding the bookstore and seizing the books.
 The High Court also found that it had acted illegally in charging Nik Raina in the syariah court. Prosecutor Che Saufi Che Hussein told the judge that while they respected the civil High Court's decision in ordering Jawi to drop the charge against Nik Raina, it was up to the Syariah court to decide on the matter. Counsel Rosli Dahlan, representing Nik Raina, said the Syariah court has the jurisdiction to drop the charge against his client as the charge was groundless.
 He said the Syariah court had also stayed the trial pending the disposal of the judicial review application. "At the judicial review, the civil high court had also dismissed the prosecutor's application for a stay pending their appeal," he said. "We should maintain a harmonious environment so that these two courts won't clash." But judge Abdul Walid said Nik Raina's attempt to drop the charge by taking it to the civil court was a dangerous precedent.
 "Civil courts cannot interfere with Syariah court matters, and vice versa. But what I see here... it's as if she (Nik Raina) was using the civil court to stop the Syariah court. That, would now be a problem," he said, adding that people would now go to civil court to stop proceedings at the Syariah court. As such, he said there would now be two conflicting orders. "Is it reasonable for the high court to stop the Syariah court and the Syarie prosecutor from executing it's powers to prosecute?
 Besides, this matter is still pending at appeal. "The accused (Nik Raina) should instead be ready to defend her case and if she is proven innocent, she will be acquitted," he said. He said the case has not even gone to trial. "Let the prosecutors prove their case," added Abdul Wahid. The judge stood his ground despite Rosli's repeated attempts to explain that the High Court's decision was not used to interfere with the trial. Rosli later told reporters that he was disappointed with the decision, describing it a "constitutional crisis".
 He said the matter at the civil High Court was procedural as the said bookstore was raided even before the book's banning. "It was because of that, the civil high court felt the charge was procedurally wrong. This would now lead to a constitutional crisis. I am just worried that there might be an apparent bias against my client," he added. The case is a classic case of the country’s parallel systems of civil and Islamic laws, the latter binding on the majority Malay-Muslim population.
 Following Nik Raina's charging at the Syariah court, Borders owner Berjaya Books obtained an order from the appellate court to stay any further action by Jawi, including prosecution proceedings in the Syariah court against her, pending the judicial review in the High Court. The High Court subsequently allowed the judicial review and among its orders, ruled that the charge against Nik Raina should be dropped as it was procedurally wrong. The matter was then brought back to the Syariah court today.
