Kenapa Malaysia Henti Tuntutan Semula Pulau Batu Puteh?

Saya merasa sangat sedih apabila membaca berita ini, lebih sedih lagi kerana ada di kalangan kita yang tidak ambil peduli dan tidak merasa terkesan berkenaan hal ini walaupun ianya membabibitkan kedaulatan negara kita.

Persoalannya, kenapa kerajaan Malaysia “tidak akan meneruskan” tuntutan semula Pulau Batu Puteh atau Pedra Branca?

Amazing Bridges from All Across the World

Completed in 2003, the Seri Wawasan Bridge was designed by the Kuala Lumpur-based firm, PJSI Consultants, and is located in Putrajaya, Malaysia.

Architecture is a form of art that had no limits nor boundaries and can be found just anywhere across the world, from houses to skyscrapers, buildings to bridges.

Here are 8 of one of the most beautiful bridges in the world, designed by world-renowned architects such as Zaha Hadid and Santiago Calatrava.

Today, the iconic Tower Bridge in London is a must-see tourist attraction. Opened in 1894, the bridge allows automobiles and pedestrians to cross the River Thames, while also allowing river traffic to pass, as the bascules can be raised to an angle of 86 degrees.

Designed by starchitect Santiago Calatrava, Puente de la Mujer, which was completed in 2001, is located in the commercial district of Buenos Aires.

Built in 1650, Isfahan’s Khaju Bridge was built at the height of the Safavid dynasty (1501–1736) in modern day Iran. The structure, which is 436 feet long and 40 feet wide, contains 23 arches. Beautiful in the daylight and at night, the Khaju Bridge is a popular public meeting spot.

Completed in 2001, Amsterdam’s High Bridge (which also goes by the name Python Bridge) was designed by the New York–based firm West 8.

Designed by the late Zaha Hadid, Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Zayed Bridge was completed in 2010 for a total of $300 million.

Running through the valley of the River Tarn near Millau in southern France, the Millau Viaduct is the world’s tallest bridge, with a summit that rises some 1,125 feet above the base of the structure. Designed by architect Sir Norman Foster and structural engineer Michel Virlogeux, the bridge opened in 2004.

Completed in 2003, the Seri Wawasan Bridge was designed by the Kuala Lumpur-based firm, PJSI Consultants, and is located in Putrajaya, Malaysia.

Venice’s Rialto Bridge, which was built in the 16th century, is the oldest bridge still standing over the city’s Grand Canal.

Bangunlah… – Sebuah Sajak oleh Ahmad Ali Karim

Sedih dan kecewa merobek hati
Gusar, hampa, gundah-gulana…

Namun…
Jangan tewas pada emosi,
Jangan menurut sedih di hati,
Tanamkan tekad, kuatkan hati.

Kerana…
Tiada apa yang terhenti,
Tiada noktah dalam perjuangan
Selagi nyawa dikandung badan

Mungkin dulu…
Ada yang alpa,
Ada yang leka,
Ada yang tidak jujur dalam perjuangan,
Mungkin juga kita tidak bertekad waja,

Tetapi…
Ini bukanlah satu pengakhiran,
Ini hanyalah satu cabaran

Bangkitlah wahai bangsaku,
Ayuh, jadikan ini titik permulaan!

1MDB: Bawa Bukti Kukuh ke Mahkamah, Bukan Buat Sidang Akhbar – Tan Seng Giaw

[UTUSAN Online}- KUALA LUMPUR 25 Mei – Kerajaan Pakatan Harapan seharusnya menjalankan siasatan terhadap kes 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) secara telus tanpa sebarang agenda untuk mempolitikkan isu berkenaan.

Bekas Ahli Parlimen Kepong, Dr. Tan Seng Giaw berkata, siasatan kes berkenaan perlu dibuat berlandaskan undang-undang, namun apa yang berlaku pada masa ini agak berlainan yang mana sidang akhbar berkaitan kes itu dilakukan dengan meluas walaupun bukti kes belum dibawa ke mahkamah.

“Siasatan 1MDB perlu telus, kita kena bezakan antara siasatan dan siaran berita, kalau jemput untuk buat sidang akhbar itu bukan siasatan.

“Kalau kita ingin mendaulatkan undang-undang apabila kita siasat dan jumpa bukti yang kukuh bawa ke mahkamah bukan sekadar buat siaran berita,” katanya kepada Utusan Malaysia di sini hari ini.

Ketua Pesuruhjaya Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM), Datuk Seri Mohd. Shukri Abdull mendedahkan mengenai pengalamannya sepanjang mengetuai siasatan skandal SRC International Sdn. Bhd. dalam satu sidang akhbar di Putrajaya baru-baru ini.

Bagaimanapun, tindakan ­Mo­hd. Shukri itu ditegur Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Siasatan 1MDB, Tan Sri Abu Talib Othman yang menasihatkannya untuk tidak mengeluarkan sebarang ke­nya­taan awam sepanjang tempoh siasatan dijalankan.

Menurut Seng Giaw, isu berkaitan 1MDB mendapat perhatian yang meluas daripada rakyat, malah isu tersebut juga telah berjaya membuatkan kerajaan Pakatan Harapan me­numbangkan kerajaan Barisan Nasional (BN).

“Saya sendiri beri perhatian kepada isu 1MDB, kerajaan perlu elak daripada siarkan berita-berita tidak benar yang boleh pesongkan rakyat.

“Kerajaan perlu tunjukkan pentadbiran yang cekap de­ngan mendaulatkan undang-undang,” katanya.
