HUMAN RIGHTS
MALAYSIA (Tier 2 Watch List), Next Stage Tier 3
Malaysia is a destination and, to a obtuse extent, a source as well as transit nation for men, women, as well as young kids subjected to conditions of forced work as well as women as well as young kids subjected to sex trafficking. The strenuous infancy of trafficking victims have been in in between a estimated dual million documented as well as dual million or some-more undocumented unfamiliar workers in Malaysia. They quit willingly to Malaysia from countries together with Indonesia, Nepal, India, Thailand, China, a Philippines, Burma, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, as well as Vietnam in poke of incomparable mercantile opportunities.
Some of them subsequently confront forced work or debt subjugation during a hands of their employers, make use of agents, or informal work recruiters. While most of Malaysia's trafficking offenders have been particular businesspeople, large orderly crime syndicates have been additionally behind trafficking. A poignant array of young unfamiliar women have been recruited ostensibly for authorised work in Malaysian restaurants as well as hotels, a little of whom have been legally admitted to a nation for this purpose though have been coerced in to a blurb sex trade.
During a year, reports indicated an augmenting array of Ugandan women were fraudulently recruited to Malaysia for ostensibly bona fide work though were forced in to harlotry upon arrival. Ugandan as well as Nigerian syndicates ride victims in in between China as well as Malaysia, as well as have make use of of threats of earthy harm, together with by ! voodoo, to victims as well as their families to coerce them in to prostitution.
Many Malaysian work outsourcing companies partisan workers from India, Vietnam, as well as alternative countries, who have been mostly subjected to conditions of forced work by unethical employers. In a little cases, unfamiliar workers' vulnerability to exploitation was heightened when employers neglected to obtain correct support for workers or employed workers in sectors alternative than which for which they were postulated an make use of visa. Many displaced chairman workers upon agricultural plantations, during building a whole sites, in textile factories, as well as in homes as done during home workers via Malaysia have been subject to practices demonstrative of forced work such as restrictions upon movement, deception as well as rascal in wages, pass confiscation, as well as deception of poignant debts during a hands of agents or employers.
Passport lien stays widespread, quite in in between done during home workers. Some employees reported which their employers exercised carry out over them by melancholy to take a worker's pass to immigration authorities where a employer would lay which a workers had breached a terms of their work contracts, which could outcome in a reversal of a workers' visas as well as their successive deportation. Some Malaysian employers reportedly did not pay unfamiliar done during home workers 3 to 6 months' salary in sequence to replenish recruitment group fees as well as alternative debt-bonds. In a little cases, employers illegally funded workman salary in escrow until completion of a contract, resulting in workers continuing to work for fear of not receiving monetary compensation if they ceased to do so.!
Forced labor, together with debt bondage, occurred in in between done during home workers. It was additionally reported to start upon plantations in a east Malaysian states of Sabah as well as Sarawak as well as in plywood as well as pap factories. There have been an estimated 250,000 unfamiliar done during home workers in Malaysia with authorised authorization for make use of in which sector. NGOs estimate which an one some-more 100,000 displaced chairman done during home workers have been not rigourously registered; most done during home workers, both documented as well as undocumented, might be trafficking victims. An estimated 90 percent of all done during home workers have been from Indonesia.
The Indonesian supervision had previously criminialized a attainment of one some-more Indonesian done during home workers to Malaysia; although this prohibition lapsed during a stating period, unused negotiations over a revised memorandum of bargain (MOU) in in between a dual governments delayed a attainment of one some-more Indonesian done during home workers. A small array of Malaysian adults reportedly were trafficked internally as well as abroad to Singapore, China, as well as Japan for blurb sexual exploitation.
The Government of Malaysia does not fully comply with the smallest standards for a rejecting of trafficking. The supervision has not shown justification of altogether augmenting efforts to address tellurian trafficking compared to a prior year; therefore, Malaysia is placed upon Tier 2 Watch List for a third consecutive year.
Malaysia was postulated a WAIVER from an otherwise compulsory hillside to Tier 3 given a supervision has a created devise that, if implemented, would consecrate making poignant efforts ! to encou nter a smallest standards for a rejecting of trafficking as well as is devoting enough resources to exercise which plan.
During a year, a supervision one after another to confine unfamiliar victims to substandard comforts as well as unsuccessful to yield them with enough legal, translation, or psychological resources; government-certified victims cannot opt to reside outward these facilities. Malaysia's anti-trafficking law does not embody competent supplies for a insurance of victims, as well as a supervision did not take stairs to amend a laws to concede approved victims to reside outward supervision facilities.
The supervision took stairs to correct a poor conditions faced by officially approved trafficking victims such as granting three-year work permits to one group of 32 masculine victims of forced work though it did not take a some-more suggestive stairs of structurally reforming a unnecessarily complex plant marker as well as insurance regime which likely causes suggest mistreat to victims. Front-line officials one after another to miss a ability to commend indicators of tellurian trafficking, tying their efforts to support victims as well as to investigate, prosecute, as well as crook trafficking offenders.
Recommendations for Malaysia: Increase law duress actions underneath a anti-trafficking law, quite work trafficking cases; apply formidable criminal penalties to those concerned in fraudulent work recruitment or forced labor; enlarge efforts to examine as well as take to justice as well as punish, as appropriate reports of public officials who might distinction from trafficking or who might feat victims; rise as well as exercise procedures to brand work trafficking victims, using internationally famous indicators of forced work in in between exposed groups such as displaced chairman workers as well as refer them to accessible insurance services; enlarge precision for officials upon a in effect you do ! of sex a s well as work trafficking cases, with a particular emphasis upon plant insurance as well as a marker of work trafficking victims; urge plant marker efforts to safeguard which victims of trafficking have been not threatened or punished for crimes committed as a outcome of being trafficked; with a benefit of NGOs, urge plant insurance in supervision comforts by upon condition which victims unchanging entrance to authorised services as well as in effect conversing in their native languages; in partnership with NGOs, rise as well as exercise mechanisms to concede adult unfamiliar trafficking victims to travel, work, as well as reside outward supervision facilities, together with while underneath insurance order; yield all victims authorised alternatives to dismissal to countries in which they would face retribution or hardship; have incomparable efforts to educate displaced chairman workers of their rights, authorised recourse available, as well as remedies opposite traffickers or employers who fail to encounter their authorised obligations; negotiate MOUs with source countries to incorporate plant insurance as well as demarcate employers from confiscating passports as well as travel papers as well as safeguard which such MOUs have been enforced; have efforts to revoke a direct for both sex as well as work trafficking; as well as enlarge efforts to raise awareness about a dangers of both labo! r as well as se x trafficking.
Prosecution
The Government of Malaysia done deficient altogether swell in addressing tellurian trafficking by law duress means during a stating period. While it one after another to take to justice as well as crook sex trafficking offenders, it did not denote swell in a efforts to retaliate those who feat others for forced labor.
Malaysian law prohibits all forms of tellurian trafficking by a 2010 Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act (amended), which prescribes penalties which have been co-ordinate with those prescribed! for alt ernative critical offenses, such as rape. In November 2010, a supervision enacted amendments to a law which broadened a definition of trafficking to embody all actions concerned in acquiring or progressing a work or services of a chairman by coercion.
During 2011, a supervision convicted 17 sex trafficking offenders though did not crook any perpetrators of forced labor; this compares with 14 philosophy for both sex as well as work trafficking offenders obtained in 2010. Sentences for convicted offenders ranged from dual to thirty years' imprisonment. Police as well as immigration officials investigated 97 suspected trafficking cases during a year, 45 of which were work trafficking cases; they initiated sixteen prosecutions, thirteen of which concerned sex trafficking as well as 3 of which concerned forced labor.
A total of 231 prosecutions, initiated in prior years, remained ongoing during a tighten of a stating period. The share of initiated prosecutions which resulted in acquittals one after another to remain high, in part a outcome of a miss of incentives for victims to experience in investigations as well as prosecutions.
In November 2011, a Labor Department filed charges in a suspected work trafficking case, a initial such movement it has taken given being postulated authority to record charges in trafficking cases in 2010. Three suspected trafficking offenders, proprietors of a media company, were indicted of subjecting five Indian nationals to forced work distributing as well as offered newspapers. Initially, a victims whose papers had been confiscated by their employer were arrested upon immigration violations as well as a employers were not charged.
Following pressure from polite society, a Labor Department subsequently done a decision to examine a c! ase; a c harge of a 3 traffickers remained ongoing during a tighten of a stating period.Poor supervision treatment of identified trafficking victims as well as a miss of plant insurance or incentives for plant benefit in investigations as well as prosecutions remained a poignant impediment to successful prosecutions.
As in prior years, NGOs reported referring cases of purported work as well as sex trafficking to a supervision though believed which in most instances authorities did not examine these allegations. NGOs reported which a Police as well as Labor Department officials mostly unsuccessful to examine complaints of lien of passports as well as travel papers or self-denial of salary generally involving done during home workers as probable trafficking offenses, as well as which front-line officers' failure to commend indicators of trafficking continually led them to treat these cases as immigration violations.
Labor Department officials mostly personal trafficking cases as routine work disputes; work inspectors were not gifted in anti-trafficking procedures. The supervision did not surprise any criminal prosecutions of work recruiters who used deceptive practices as well as debt subjugation to enforce displaced chairman workers in to contingent servitude.
The previously reported charge of one immigration official, who was arrested in Jul 2009 for purported impasse in trafficking Burmese adults to Thailand, ended in an acquittal during a stating period; a supervision filed an appeal, though no one some-more developments have been reported. Reports additionally indicated which collusion in in between particular military officers as well as trafficking offenders infrequently led to offenders evading arrest as well as punishment. The Malaysian supervision took no distinct stairs to examine such reports or to take to justice or retaliate approach impasse in or facilitation of trafficking crimes by Malaysian officials.
Protection
The supervision done medium though deficient swell in safeguarding victims of trafficking during a stating period, as well as altogether plant insurance efforts remained inadequate as well as negatively affected victims. Victims identified by Malaysian authorities have been adjudicated underneath an central insurance sequence which triggers their forcible apprehension in supervision facilities, where they contingency remain for a duration stipulated by a court. Most victims reportedly stay in these comforts for 3 to 6 months, as well as a little have been incarcerated for some-more than a year. The supervision reports which victims have been no longer sealed in their rooms, yet they go upon to be sealed inside facilities, as well as have been usually permitted to leave for sanatorium visits or justice appearances underneath a custody of a police; masculine victims have been largely cramped to their bedrooms as well as have limited freedom of movement inside facilities. Victims were supposing limited, if any, entrance to authorised or psychological benefit by a supervision or NGOs. The infancy of appropriation for supervision shelter comforts supports arming a comforts with tall levels of security, which might suggest to prevent victims from evading rsther than than to strengthen them from harm; in fact, shelters which demarcate victims from withdrawal have been regarded by experts as posing a critical risk for re-traumatizing victims. The supervision supposing limited conversing to victims; it reported beginning to accede to a little victims particular conversing sessions during a year, as well as enlisting a benefit of five university students to support a work of a dual counselors it employed, although it did not regularly have competent comforts to suggest victims privacy during these sessions.
During a stating period, a supervision began w! orking w ith non-governmental entities to enlarge a availability of conversing as well as plead guidelines for improved shelter management. The comforts did not employ medical officers or trained psychologists, as well as employees, reserved upon a temporary basis, did not receive adequate, if any, precision for working with trafficking victims or handling a facilities; a miss of interpretation services meant which a little victims were incompetent to promulgate with staff.
During a stating period, a supervision dropped a process of treating approved victims as bootleg aliens as well as transferring them to apprehension comforts for deportation after they supposing justification to prosecutors. Victims typically were ignorant about a authorised processes to which they were subjected, as well as a supervision did not have competent efforts to surprise a victims of because or for how prolonged they were being detained. This situation increased hardship for victims, who mostly exhibited serious anxiety during not meaningful when they would be authorised to leave. As noted during prior stating periods, a government's process of detaining trafficking victims opposite their will one after another to yield a disincentive for victims as well as their advocates to move cases to a government's courtesy or to cooperate with authorities.
The Ministry of Women, Family, as well as Community Development one after another to work 3 comforts for women as well as child victims of trafficking. These comforts incarcerated suspected as well as reliable unfamiliar trafficking victims for an normal of 3 to 6 months (but in a little cases most longer) until they were deported to their home countries, per Malaysian law. The women's trickery in Kuala Lumpur changed to a incomparable place during ! a statin g period, although there were reports which it occasionally housed numbers of victims beyond a capacity. The Ministry of Home Affairs ran a identical trickery for masculine victims of trafficking, which additionally incarcerated suspected as well as reliable trafficking victims.
The supervision reported skeleton for a Women's Ministry to assume responsibility for this shelter, though this did not start during a year. Despite a availability of specialized NGO resources to suggest trafficking victims, together with by upon condition which shelters which might yield a some-more comfortable environment to victims, a supervision confines victims in a own comforts where it lacks a earthy as well as tellurian apparatus genius to house them. The basement for a government's voiced confidence concerns with NGO shelters was unclear, as no well known confidence incidents have been reported during NGO shelters as well as their locations were kept confidential.
During a stating year, 125 unfamiliar women, 75 unfamiliar men, as well as twenty-two unfamiliar young kids were approved as trafficking victims as well as incarcerated in supervision facilities. The total array of victims certified, 222, is a poignant diminution from a 383 victims identified during a prior year. The supervision identified an unknown array of Malaysian victims who were exploited inside of a nation during a year.
Some unfamiliar embassies sheltered victims directly, rsther than than transferring them to Malaysian facilities, to support their repatriation as well as strengthen them from apprehension during extensive criminal proceedings. In a positive step, a home apportion voiced in January 2012 which a supervision would accede to a little victims a right to during a moment work in Malaysia following a death of their insurance order.
In Mar 2012, a supervision postulated three-year work as well as residency permits to 32 work trafficking victims deemed to be in risk if returned to their home country. These victims! had alr eady endured a stay of some-more than one as well as a half years in a supervision facility.
The Home Ministry reported skeleton to magnify a provision of work permits to alternative victims meeting sure criteria following a death of their insurance order, though it did not yield suggest details about how this program would be implemented or how most victims would be eligible. It reported which usually victims who had entered Malaysia legally, as well as whose reserve was not upon hearing if they returned to their nation of origin, would be eligible.
NGOs voiced concerns which challenges in inter-agency coordination might have it formidable to magnify temporary work permits to all eligible victims. While a supervision reports it speedy victims to support in a charge of their traffickers, a little victims sought immediate repatriation by their countries' embassies in Malaysia or by NGOs, rsther than than staying in Malaysia to testify, due to systemic disincentives such as prolonged detentions in comforts during extensive justice proceedings. Certified victims were not permitted to leave a nation while they waited for trials to commence. The supervision did not yield any incentives such as work permits to victims during a duration of their traffickers' trials.
Victims could theoretically record polite suits opposite traffickers, though as unfamiliar victims were supposing conjunction any form of authorised benefit nor simple interpretation services, nothing accessed this choice during a year.
Law duress officers did not receive enough precision to work with victims, as well as poor review procedures did not take in to comment a best interests of victims. Victims were asked to recount their trafficking experience upon numerous occasions to different officials, as well as during hearing record authorities did not have competent efforts to separate victims from their traffickers or recruitment agents, a make use of which might have resulted in threats or pressure exerted upo! n victim s as well as their families if they cooperated with military as well as prosecutors.
Several NGOs reported which they generally no longer referred victims to a Police, as they believed which you do so was detrimental to a gratification of a victims. Some NGOs not dependent with a government's anti-trafficking legislature were barred from suggest aiding victims after they were placed in to a supervision facility. The supervision did not yield monetary benefit to NGOs upon condition which services to victims.
The anti-trafficking law supposing immunity to trafficking victims for immigration offenses such as bootleg entry, wrong presence, as well as receive of fake travel documents, though a little unclear victims one after another to be detained, deported, or charged with immigration offenses.
The supervision reported which particular law duress agencies followed standardised procedures for identifying, interviewing, as well as referring trafficking victims, though there was no justification of a life of grave procedures for a active marker of victims in in between exposed groups with whom authorities came in contact.
The Labor Department, which recently assumed a charge to examine work trafficking cases, compulsory justification of non-payment of salary to examine a suspected trafficking case; it did not rise or exercise procedures to brand internationally famous indicators of forced labor, such as a lien of travel papers or a deception of poignant debts by employers or work brokers. Some unclear victims, quite those whose papers had been confiscated by employers, were processed as bootleg migrants as well as held in prisons or immigration apprehension centers prior to deportation.
Prevention
The Malaysian supervision one after another efforts to prevent tellurian trafficking during a stating period. The National Council for Anti-Trafficking in Persons (MAPO), as well as a trafficking in persons Secretariat inside of a Home Ministry one after another to coordinate a government's anti-trafficking response; although sure NGOs were enclosed in a MAPO council, a little non-affiliated NGOs voiced disappointment during not being enclosed in a government's process discussions in their areas of expertise. In a positive step, a Attorney-General's Office as well as a Women's Ministry began to entice sure NGOs not dependent with MAPO to attend meetings to plead issues of forced work as well as plant protection; a government's rejection of unchanging entrance to a array of NGOs to a plant facilities, however, continues to obstruct in effect government-civil multitude partnership to fight trafficking.
A state-level anti-trafficking legislature in Selangor, conducted independent anti-trafficking efforts in which state, although it has not been rigourously famous by MAPO. The supervision one after another an anti-trafficking public awareness campaign in imitation media, upon a radio, as well as upon television, as well as officials displayed an increased willingness to verbalise about a dangers of work trafficking in further to sex trafficking. For example, in November 2011, an central from a Human Resources Ministry spoke upon a prime time news program to ventilate a new supplies of an agreement with Indonesia together with a potential for criminally prosecuting exploitative employers underneath a anti-trafficking law as well as to inspire a public to surprise suspected abuses. This ministry reported conducting a array of precision events reaching 514 done during home workers, 532 employers, as well as 93 private make use of agents.
The Home Ministry one after another to say a watch list of 42 outsourcing companies which partisan unfamiliar workers in to Malaysia whose licenses have been dangling for enchanting in questionable activities, such as! have ma ke use of of of falsified papers or inventory fake employers, though it did not pursue criminal prosecutions of any outsourcing companies during a year. The supervision reported imposing administrative sanctions opposite 136 employers in 2011, though it is unknown whether any of these fines were practical for violations related to tellurian trafficking.
Although a Home Ministry voiced skeleton to examine allegations which recruitment agencies charged displaced chairman workers excessive, exploitative fees during a government's displaced chairman workman registration program, it took no distinct movement to initiate any investigations during a year. In May 2011, a governments of Indonesia as well as Malaysia signed amendments to a bilateral MOU upon done during home workers; a updated agreement includes supplies prohibiting employers from taking receive of done during home workers' passports unless given agree to do so, mandating a weekly rest day for workers, requiring payment of salaries without delay in to bank accounts, tying a volume an employer can concede from a done during home worker's gain for repayment of recruitment fees, as well as requiring which workers as well as employers attend a seminar explaining rights as well as responsibilities. The MOU supposing deficient protections for workers who have been constrained by their employers to "consent" to a self-denial of a workers' passports.
An existent agreement with a Philippines provides a little protections for Philippine workers, as well as a Malaysian supervision one after another negotiations with a Cambodian supervision over a proposed MOU to govern Cambodian done during home workers employed in Malaysian. Domestic workers have been excluded from a array of protections in Malaysian work law.
In October 2011, a supervisi! on nice a Employment Act to yield a authorised definition of a "contractor for labour" as an employer; it is unknown what effect these amendments might have upon supervision law of contractor-based work arrangements, which create vulnerabilities to forced labor. Although a lien of passports by employers of displaced chairman workers is illegal, a supervision one after another to concede this make use of to start with impunity; it did not take to justice any employers who confiscated passports or travel papers of displaced chairman workers or cramped them to a workplace.
In January 2012, a government, with an general organization, co-hosted a Bali Process seminar a informal discussion upon combating transnational orderly crime, together with trafficking attended by delegates from a array of alternative countries in a region, as well as earlier in a stating period, supervision officials spoke during a discussion to rivet reporters upon tellurian trafficking issues.
While authorities one after another a little anti-trafficking precision for officials with responsibilities to fight trafficking, together with precision conducted by team-work with unfamiliar donors, general organizations, as well as NGOs, a miss of bargain of tellurian trafficking by most Malaysian front-line officers, such as police, immigration, as well as work officials, continues to hinder a marker as well as correct review of trafficking cases as well as marker as well as benefit to trafficking victims.
The supervision did not take measures to revoke a direct for forced work or blurb sex acts. The supervision supposing anti-trafficking precision to Malaysian troops prior to their deployment abroad upon general peacekeeping missions".US State Department Report upon Human Rights Practices, 2011.

What to do if there is a hung parliament? IDEAS
Kuala Lumpur The Institute for Democracy as well as Economic Affairs
(IDEAS) released a June 2012 Policy Ideas briefing paper, calling
for proper credentials in box there is a hung council (or hung
state legislative assembly) after General Elections 13. The paper is
attached.
This June 2012 Policy Ideas is a delay from a prior one
(March 2012) which looked into a purposes of a polite service in
ensuring smooth transition of governments. Both can be downloaded from
IDEAS website http://ideas.org.my/?cat=164
In this ultimate Policy Ideas briefing paper, we explore a steps
necessary after an election, generally if there is an uncertain
election outcome (hung council or hung state legislative assembly).
By looking at box studies from 3 mature inherent democracies
United Kingdom, The Netherlands as well as Sweden we argue which there is
need for clear policies connected with a range of a caretaker
government, negotiations over supervision formation, as well as a purpose of
the Rulers as well as Council of Rulers in a authorized process.
In box there is hung council or hung state legislative assembly,
we suggest that:
1. The boundaries as well as stipulations of a post-election caretaker
government has to be clearly tangible pre-election. It is not enough to
have a caretaker supervision nominated if a range of a energy is not
defined. The guideline should include:
- Who should be in a caretaker supervision as well as what size it
should be.
- The energy should be singular to decisions of national
security as well as a continued execution of already authorized policies.
- No brand new routine decisions should be made, nor should any
announcements of brand new projects launched.
2. Clearly tangible practises needs to be put in place in sequence to
prevent stand-off in a box of an capricious choosing result. These
guidelines should embody who has a privilege to start the
negotia tion as well as which physique should oversee a negotiation to ensure
due process.
- Any system grown has to make certain which a negotiation
process is satisfactory as well as transparent. It is receptive to advice to make use of an independent
negotiator to guarantee which all parties have a in accord with access to the
negotiation process.
- Safeguards opposite a drawn-out routine have to be
included, for example a extent upon a number of supervision formation
attempts which can be done without invoking a brand new election.
3. The purposes of a Rulers as well as Council of Rulers have to be defined.
As seen in a European inherent monarchies a sovereign takes a
back-seat purpose in a supervision arrangement routine to respect the
democratic wishes of a people. Their impasse is singular to
general seductiveness as well as a maintenance of due process.
- The Rulers have an critical purpose to play as a guarantor
of due routine as well as as a unifier of a people.
- The purpose of a Rulers should not embody an arbitration
role during a coalition negotiations, or indeed afterwards. This
will guarantee a institution from accusations of being partisan.

Katanya, isu itu tidak seharusnya diperbesar-besarkan kerana majoriti penduduk yang tinggal di kawasan itu kaum Melayu dan beliau sendiri menerima khidmat pesanan ringkas (SMS) daripada ibu bapa murid yang mahu anak mereka belajar di sebuah sekolah yang lebih selesa.
Pembinaan SAR ini sebenarnya tiada masalah punkenapa pihak pembangkang nak kacau dan saya sendiri menerima SMS daripada ibu bapa murid sekolah ini yang mahu melihat anak mereka belajar dalam suasana yang lebih selesa.
Oleh itu, saya minta Boon Chye jangan kacau isu pendidikan di kawasan itu kerana majoriti 85 peratus penduduk di situ adalah Melayu dan jika kaum Cina tidak suka kaum lain kacau pendidikan mereka, maka begitu juga kaum Melayu, katanya kepada pemberita selepas mempengerusikan mesyuarat mingguan exco di Ipoh, hari ini.
Isu SAR Taman Desa Aman telah berlarutan hampir sebulan yang lepas dan ramai umat Islam di kawasan berdekatan dipercayai masih kurang faham dengan isu itu yang diputarbelitkan oleh pemimpin PAS dengan bantuan Ahli Parlimen Gopeng, Dr Lee Boon Chye.

CILI KASI TARUK! ANWAR KATA NAK SAMAN ESKAY, TAPI ANWAR TAK MUNCUL DI MAHKAMAH - KENAPA?
Entah dimana silapnya Anwar Ibrahim ataupun pihak peguam yang mewakili beliau tidak langsung kelihatan di Mahkamah Jalan Duta hari ini bagi menfailkan saman keatas Dato Eskay. Sms yang dihantara sebelum ini yang menyatakan "Anwar Ibrahim akan menfailkan saman keatas Dato Eskay" tidak berlaku dan ianya amat mengecewakan bukan sahaja para wartawan yang menunggu sejak awal pagi malah rakyat Malaysia yang mengikuti perkembangan video seks Anwar juga hampa dan kecewa.
Apa yang cuba dimainkan oleh Anwar Ibrahim ini? Jika benar hendak menyaman Dato Eskay mengapa menangguhkannya? Apakah masa untuk menyaman Eskay belum sesuai kerana Najib Razak Perdana Menteri belum mengumumkan tarikh bubar parlimen?
Jika bukan Anwar Ibrahim pelaku dalam video seks China Doll mengapa tidak saman Eskay? mengapa perlu menunggu satu tempoh waktu yang panjang? Apakah saman keatas Eskay hanya akan dilakukan apabila menjelang pilihanraya bagi memberikan satu lagi sandiwara politik dalam menipu rakyat Malaysia?
Rakyat Malaysia akan melihat apa yang berlaku hari ini dimana Anwar Ibrahim yang sebelum ini menyatakan akan menfailkan saman keatas Eskay berhubung video Seks tidak dilakukan beliau. Satu pembohongan ataupun satu sandiwara dalam terus terusan Anwar Ibrahim dan PKR memperbodohkan rakyat Malaysia.
