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...

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...

The by-election in Kuala Kubu Baharu (KKB) and the Indian electorate

  I was born in Malaysia, belonging to the Indian ethnic group, which constitutes approximately 7% of the country's total population. My durable credence is that I am Malaysian first and foremost, and only then do I identify myself as Indian. Regrettably, it saddens me to witness and hear about the actions of certain politicians who question my loyalty to Malaysia. What is even more disheartening is that some Malaysians have been influenced by the manipulative rhetoric of these self-serving politicians. Recently, I have observed numerous discussions on both mainstream and online news platforms regarding the recognition and inclusion of Indians by ruling parties. Surprisingly, even the opposition has displayed a significant interest in the welfare of Indians. Upon contemplating the reasons behind this sudden surge in attention towards Indians, it becomes evident that it is primarily driven by the upcoming Kuala Kubu Baharu (KKB) by-election. It is noteworthy that such ...
