Kutip derma depan bank, pasar mungkin disalahguna biaya IS

By Khairil Ashraf

PETALING JAYA : Pakar Terrorisme, mempersoal kesahihan di sebalik aktiviti kutipan derma yang dijalankan di hadapan bank dan pasar untuk pembinaan surau, masjid atau aktiviti berkaitan agama yang lain.
R Paneir Selvam khuatir, aktiviti itu berkemungkinan disalahguna untuk mendapatkan wang bagi membiayai kegiatan Islamic State (IS).
“Pada kebanyakan masa, tiada agensi yang mengawasi perkara ini. Saya ada terjumpa dengan (pihak) sebegini di pasar tani, pasar malam…dia letak satu kotak, letak gambar dan orang ramai akan menderma duit. Tetapi ke mana sebenarnya duit (sumbangan orang ramai) disalurkan? Apa tujuannya?
“Oleh itu, saya rasa sudah tiba masa untuk pihak berkuasa menjalankan pengawasan.
“Kita ada jabatan zakat untuk kutip zakat dan kita tahu ke mana sumbangkan itu disalurkan. Dari segi transaksi semua maklumat jelas, pemberi serta penerimanya. Tetapi bagi pengutip derma (di pasar dan bank) kita tak tahu,” katanya ketika dihubungi FMT hari ini.
Beliau berkata demikian mengulas kenyataan Ketua Penolong Pengarah Bahagian Counter Terrorism Cawangan Khas Bukit Aman, Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pithcay mengenai aktiviti kutipan derma oleh NGO tidak diiktiraf yang tumbuh seperti cendawan selepas hujan mungkin didalangi kumpulan militan IS bagi menampung aktiviti mereka.
Ayob berkata, dana yang dikumpul dipercayai digunakan untuk menyebarkan ideologi dan propaganda IS, selain membiayai kegiatan militan itu di Syria.
Mengulas lanjut, Paneir yang juga Pengerusi Persatuan Penyelidik Dasar dan Undang bersetuju dengan kenyataan yang Ayub memandangkan wang adalah faktor penting dalam melakukan dan mengembangkan aktiviti keganasan .
Susulan itu Paneir mencadangkan jabatan agama di negara ini supaya tampil dengan peraturan wajib berkenaan pendaftaran pengutipan derma berkaitan agama bagi membanteras aktiviti kutipan derma yang mungkin didalangi kumpulan militan IS.
“Selain itu, pegawai jabatan agama harus melakukan pemeriksaan mengejut. Mereka kena pergi ke lokasi berkenaan (pasar, bank) dan menemubual pengutip derma berkenaan. Tanya tujuan sebenarnya mereka mengutip derma,” katanya.

India-Malaysia ties and the future

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is on his first official visit to India. The main aim of this visit is to seek support for Malaysia’s application to join Brics and to fortify bilateral ties, as the country is keen to improve its connections with one of the rapidly expanding economies in Asia. In light of the increasing crumbling of the global order, particularly stemming from trade disputes between the United States and China, as well as the proxy conflict involving the United States and Russia, Malaysia is encouraged to reassess its foreign policy to uphold its neutral stance. Given India’s status as the largest democracy and the fifth-largest economy globally, along with its notable advancements in indigenous space and defence technologies, it is proposed that India emerge as Malaysia’s key partner in the years ahead. Why India is important for Malaysia The historical ties between India and Malaysia extend back several centuries, with significant Indian cultural, religious, and administ...

Ties that bind religion, state: Beneficial or detrimental?

Malaysia is characterised as a secular state, a principle reflecting its founding fathers’ vision. However, over the years, certain politicians from various factions have exploited religion as a potent tool to garner public support and to suppress or eliminate their political adversaries. The slogan “untuk agama, bangsa dan negara,” which translates to “for religion, race, and nation,” suggests a troubling prioritisation of religious matters over state affairs. This shift in focus by the past and present governments, which places religious issues above national interests, poses significant risks to the future stability and unity of the nation. Furthermore, the investigation into Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings, which is accused of child sexual abuse and forced labour, highlights the potential dangers of intertwining religious motivations with operational practices. Also, an examination of the present state of our government reveals a trajectory similar to that of Pakistan,...

Understanding terrorism and attacks in Lebanon

Terrorism is characterised as the illegal application of force and intimidation, particularly targeting civilians, to attain political objectives. The overarching definition of terrorism encompasses the strategic deployment of violence to instil widespread fear within a population, thus facilitating the realisation of political goals.
