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.

Terrorism in Africa

According to state.gov, ISIS was defeated a few years ago. However, the organization's presence and existence remain conspicuous in Africa. Ongoing conflicts in Somalia, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Nigeria, and Burkina Faso demonstrate that ISIS has shifted its focus away from Iraq and Syria. Although ISIS lacks a clear hierarchy like Al-Qaeda, its followers and supporters wholeheartedly believe in its strong ideology. In 2014, the United States led the formation of a broad international coalition known as 'The Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS' to combat the organization during the height of the Syrian and Iraqi conflict. The primary objectives of this 83-member coalition are to degrade and defeat ISIS, which poses a threat to international peace and security. ISIS has brought thousands of foreign fighters from around the world to combat zones like Syria and Iraq, and it has used technology to promote its violent extremist ideology and instigate terrorist attacks. For example, t

Sedition Act 1948 should have been repealed a long time ago. But why?

THE Sedition Act 1948 is a legislative measure that was enacted in Malaysia during the colonial era, designed to curb any form of speech or expression that was deemed to be seditious in nature with the aim of maintaining public order and security. The Sedition Act has been subject to much debate and criticism, with some arguing that it is a violation of freedom of speech and expression. Despite this, the Act remains in force in Malaysia to this day, albeit with some amendments made over the years. Although I concur with the abolition of this Act, it is imperative that a comparable new legislation be enacted to address the escalating prevalence of racially and religiously bigoted remarks that have been unsettling our distinctive multicultural and multi-religious society as of late. An instance that exemplifies the prudent decision-making of the governing body is the substitution of the Internal Security Act of 1960 with the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (SOSMA).

THE HISTORY OF TERRORISM: MORE THAN 200 YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT

The history of terrorism dates back at least 1500 years when Jewish resistance groups (66 - 72 A.D.) known as Zealots killed Roman soldiers and destroyed Roman property. The term assassin comes from a Shi'ite Muslim sect (Nizari Isma'ilis - also known as hashashins "hashish-eaters") fighting Sunni Muslims (1090 - 1275) and during Medieval Christendom resisting occupation during the Crusades (1095-1291). The hashashins were known to spread terror in the form of murder, including women and children. The brotherhood of Assassins committed terror so as to gain paradise and seventy-two virgins if killed and to receive unlimited hashish while on earth. The modern development of terrorism began during the French Revolution's Reign of Terror (1793 - 1794). During this period the term terrorism was first coined. Through the past two hundred years, terrorism has been used to achieve political ends and has developed as a tool for liberation, oppression, and i
