Makkal Osai loses licence
Thursday April 17, 2008
KUALA LUMPUR: The Home Ministry has rejected an application for renewal of the publishing licence of Tamil daily, Makkal Osai.
Yesterday, a letter signed by a ministry official by the name of Abdul Razak Abdul Latiff, on behalf of the ministry’s secretary general, said: “We regret to inform you that the licence will not be renewed.”
Following the rejection, Makkal Osai will soon file an appeal against the decision by the Home Ministry.
The newspaper’s general manager S.M. Periasamy said that they were informed of the decision by a telephone call from the Home Ministry yesterday.
“When I went to the ministry in the afternoon to check if the phone call was true, they handed me the letter rejecting renewal of our licence.” The letter did not state any reasons for the rejection.
“I pleaded with the Home Ministry officials, including Abdul Razak, and they told me to submit an appeal against the decision,” he said.
“It was a sad day for the newspaper because more than 100 people will become unemployed at the stroke of a pen.”
Periasamy said his staff was shocked at the decision, adding that the office received many calls from the paper’s readers, some of whom expressed anger over the paper’s closure.
“I’ve told my workers to calm down and continue to come to the office as usual pending further instructions,” he added.
Periasamy denied that the rejection was due to publication of opposition news reports.
“We published news covering both the Barisan Government and the Opposition, as was seen during the general election. We are in the dark over the reasons,” he added.
The newspaper started operations as Tamil Osai in 1981, and later changed its name to Makkal Osai in 2005. It has a daily circulation of 52,000 copies and 95,000 on weekends.
Periasamy, who joined the newspaper in 1989, said former MIC deputy president Datuk S. Subramaniam met with Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar yesterday.
Makkal Osai submitted an application for renewal on July 16, 2007, three months before its permit expired on Oct 15 last year.
The day its permit expired, the daily continued publication with the understanding that the Government was in the process of considering its application for renewal.
Besides Makkal Osai, the other two Tamil dailies are Tamil Nesan and Malaysia Nanban.

Black 14 Dinner Turns Into Illegal Gathering, Say Police
April 15, 2008 02:42 AM
KUALA LUMPUR, April 15 (Bernama) -- A so-called Black 14 dinner organised by Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) at the Sultan Suleiman Club in Kampung Baru Monday night turned into an illegal gathering of what police estimated to be 7,000 people.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Muhammad Sabtu Osman said the people began to gather at 8.30pm and dispersed at 10.30pm on the orders of Dang Wangi police chief ACP Zulkarnain Abdul Rahman.
"The application made to the police on April 8 stated that a dinner was to be held and that only three top leaders of the party would give speeches but there was no dinner for the people, only for the party leaders," he told reporters at the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters here Monday night.
He said the three top party leaders who were to have spoken were PKR deputy president Azmin Ali, Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim and Sultan Suleiman Club deputy chairman Datuk Mokhtar Ahmad and not PKR adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The gathering was held to celebrate the end of the five-year ban on Anwar holding public office following his conviction on corruption charges. Anwar was convicted of corruption after he was sacked as the deputy prime minister and finance minister in September 1998 and sentenced to six years in jail.
Asked why a permit was required for a gathering at a private club, Muhammad Sabtu said it was not a function held indoors.
"The ceramah (talk) contributed to traffic congestion and the presence of the large number of party supporters posed a hazard for the public and night market traders in the vicinity of the club.
"It is an offence to hold a gathering or meeting without a permit and Section 27 (3) of the Police Act allows the police to stop any gathering or meeting held without a licence," he said.
Kuala Lumpur Police, comprising 1,350 personnel including Federal Reserve Union (FRU) and General Operations Force personnel, began to control traffic flow from about 4pm, he said.
Muhammad Sabtu said no arrests were made but the police were looking at the legal aspects to determine whether to make arrests later.
"The police did not arrest anyone Monday night but arrests may be made depending on the investigation, and even Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim would not be exempted if it is found that he had violated the law," he said.

DAP declines to reveal counter offer
Tuesday April 1, 2008
By NIK KHUSAIRI IBRAHIM
PENANG: Buntong assemblyman A. Sivasubramaniam retracted his resignation from DAP after a private conversation with party secretary-general Lim Guan Eng.
Lim, who confirmed this Tuesday, however refused to disclose if he had made any counter offer to persuade Sivasubramaniam to stay on in the party.
Sivasubramaniam had tendered his resignation on Monday only to retract it six hours later.
His resignation would have put the DAP-PAS-PKR coalition government in Perak in a precarious position, as it would only have a one-seat majority in the house. Barisan Nasional currently holds 28 out of the 59 state seats.
Asked if Sivasubramaniam’s dissatisfaction was due to the allocation of state exco seats which did not include any Indians from the party, Lim said the matter had been settled.
"We will hold further discussions (behind closed doors) because this is an internal party matter," he told a press conference on Tuesday.
Sivasubramaniam, who is Perak DAP assistant secretary, had faxed a letter to Lim stating his dissatisfaction with the Perak DAP leadership.
He had claimed that Perak DAP chairman Ngeh Koo Ham did not fulfil his promise to appoint two state executive council posts to Indian assemblymen.
Lim said DAP had accepted Sivasubramaniam back into its fold although his action had caused uneasiness within the party

Only 10 SIM cards per person, says MCMC
Tuesday April 1, 2008
PUTRAJAYA: Mobile phone users are not allowed to buy or have more than 10 SIM cards from one telecommunication company effective Tuesday.
Dealers registering details of prepaid card buyers must also transmit the information directly to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) via a GPRS MyKad reader.
Commission chairman Datuk Dr Halim Shafie said these measures were necessary to prevent abuses and enhance the security of data provided by consumers.
"At present, many of the dealers input the details of buyers of prepaid cards manually either via forms or online. This information is then stored with the dealers before it is eventually sent to us.
"This allows more opportunities for the sensitive information of consumers to be compromised. Using the reader, which costs some RM2,000 apiece, the information will be channelled directly to us," he said, adding that guidelines on the matter had already been issued to both telecommunications companies and dealers earlier this year.
Dr Halim was speaking to reporters Tuesday at a conference on the local communications and multimedia market, which was launched by Deputy Energy, Water and Communications Minister Datuk Joseph Salang here.
He said the guidelines would also require service providers to keep better records of their dealers as well as to ensure registration of prepaid card buyers was done properly.
Failure to adhere to the guidelines can result in the telecommunications firms penalising their dealers, including suspending or even terminating their contract.
Asked on the grace period for the dealers to obtain the GPRS MyKad reader, Dr Halim said the MCMC would continue to monitor the progress of the implementation of the guidelines.
"The reader should be regarded as a tool of trade by the dealers for their businesses," he said.
On the restriction for sale of not more than 10 SIM cards to a customer, he said the MCMC had traced one man who had more than 400 SIM cards.
"When we asked him, he said people have been registering as mobile phone users under his name so this was clearly a case of fraud. To prevent such abuse in the future, we will restrict the sale for the purpose of security. Why does a person need 400 SIM cards in the first place?
"In this case, we compounded the service provider," he said.
