KAK WAN TAK LAYAK JADI MB SEBAB " UZUR SYARIE"

Datuk Seri Wan Azizah Islam tidak sesuai untuk menjadi menteri besar Selangor kerana wanita lazimnya mengalami uzur syarie dan ini bermaksud beliau tidak dapat selalu mengiringi sultan. 

Memetik peguam Umnno Datuk Mohd Hafarizam Harun sebagai pakar perlembagaan, New Straits Times (NST) melaporkan walaupun tiada halangan gender bawah undang-undang tubuh Selangor, terdapat kebimbangan praktikal dalam memilih wanita sebagai menteri besar. 

“Ini kerana seorang menteri besar wanita mengalami uzur syarie (haid), terdapat banyak halangan untuknya untuk mengiringi sultan dalam acara keagamaan. 

“Walaupun perkara bawah perlembagaan Selangor sebagai contoh tidak menghalang wanita daripada menjadi menteri besar, tetapi berdasarkan konvensyen, terdapat masalah ekoran keadaan itu,” Mohd Hafarizam dipetik sebagai berkata. 

Menggunakan tajuk “Azizah may not be MB”, NST melaporkan Azizah mungkin tidak mampu menunaikan tanggungjawab melibatkan keagamaan, walaupun layak bawah undang-undang tubuh, yang menyebut keperluan berbangsa Melayu dan beragama Islam. 

NST melaporkan, menteri besar dilantik daripada kalangan lelaki sejak merdeka, dan menyebut bahawa Perkara 51(2) Undang-undang Tubuh Selangor 1959 merujuk menteri besar dalam bahasa Inggeris sebagai “he” (ganti nama lelaki).

TAYANG PUNGGUNG TRADISI PELIK DI CALIFORNIA

Walaupun dunia hari ini dikatakan makin bertambah tahap ketamadunan namun ternyata masih ada lagi sikap tidak bertamadun dalam masyarakat hari ini. Salah satu contohnya adalah tradisi yang digelar Moon Amtrak atau Mooning of the Train.

Tradisi ini akan diadakan pada hari Sabtu kedua bulan Julai di mana orang ramai akan berkumpul di luar Mugs Away Saloon di Laguna Niguel, Carlifornia. Menurut mereka, sejarah bermulanya tradisi ini pada tahun 1979 apabila seorang yang kaya raya yang menuju ke bar dan berjanji memberi minum percuma kepada sesiapa sahaja yang berani menyahut cabarannya. Cabarannya adalah menayangkan punggung ke arah kereta api Amtrak(kereta api penumpang).

Sehingga kini, perkaran tersebut menjadi tradisi kepada masyarakat tempatan malah Moon Amtrak mendapat sambutan sehingga ribuan orang menyambutnya setiap tahun.

MUKTAMAD HAMAS TOLAK GENJATAN SENJATA

GAZA REJECTS EGYPT’S TRUCE, ISRAEL PROMISES HARDER STRIKES GAZA CITY – Hamas rejected an Egyptian proposal for a cease-fire with Israel that was to take effect Tuesday, saying Cairo did not consult the group over the deal. Israel accepted the truce plan, but warned it would strike Gaza hard if Hamas didn't abide by it. However, Hamas didn't close the door to negotiations on ending a week of fighting that killed at least 192 Palestinians and exposed millions of Israelis to rocket fire. The militant group appeared to be holding out for better cease-fire conditions, with senior officials saying the current proposal offers no tangible achievements, particularly on easing a border blockade of Gaza enforced by Israel and Egypt. Hamas also wants to be recognized by Egypt as a partner in any truce efforts. Sami Abu Zuhri, a senior Hamas official in Gaza, said the movement was not consulted by Egypt. "We did not receive any official draft of this Egyptian proposal," he said, adding that the plan, as is, was "not acceptable." Hamas officials are weary of promises by Egypt and Israel to ease the border blockade. Such promises were also part of a truce that ended more than a week of fighting in 2012, but were quickly broken as violence flared again. An easing of the blockade of the coastal strip is key to the survival of Hamas. Before the outbreak of the latest round of fighting, Hamas found itself in a serious financial crisis because a particularly tight closure by Egypt had prevented cash and goods from coming into the strip through hundreds of smuggling tunnels under the Gaza-Egypt border. Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev warned that Israel would strike Gaza even harder if Hamas does not accept the truce. "If Hamas rejects the Egyptian proposal, if Hamas continues to shoot rockets at Israeli cities, we are prepared to continue our military operation and intensify it as needed to protect our people," he said. Over the past week, Israel has carried out hundreds of air strikes against targets in Gaza to try to diminish Hamas' ability to fire rockets at Israel.
