Roselan - The Low Class Leader

There are many classes of Leader, some aspire to be the best while some chose to stray. Haji Roselan Johar Mohamad is one who strays.

Roselan queried on RM10m project
29 April, 2004
Kota Kinabalu: Umno Putatan protem vice chief Haji Ibrahim OKK Mohd Laiman Diki urged KK protem division chief Haji Roselan Johar Mohamed to clarify on the RM10 million development plan for Tanjung Aru.

He said Roselan, the former Umno Tanjung Aru acting chief, should not have bypassed the elected representatives in Tanjung Aru, as well as Umno Putatan, since the area was no longer under him following the redelineation exercise.

He said Roselan should have checked first with Umno Putatan protem chief Datuk Yahya Hussin since the area is now under its jurisdiction.

Ibrahim recalled that the development of Tanjung Aru and Sembulan received attention in a meeting between Umno Gaya and Umno Tanjung Aru which was still headed by Datuk Yahya Lampong with former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad several years ago.

Dr Mahathir had agreed that Umno take the initiative to develop the areas but suggested that these projects be implemented by the State Government or agencies and not by any individual development company, said Ibrahim who is also the Tanjung Aru K3P Chairman.



KK Umno Head Apologises Over Rape Remark
May 24, 2004 11:33 AM

KOTA KINABALU, May 24 (Bernama) -- A Sabah Umno division pro tem head, who sparked an uproar following his "off-the-cuff" remark about rape at a seminar here on Saturday has apologised to all, especially women who were offended by his statement.

Kota Kinabalu Umno division pro tem head Roselan Johar Mohamed said his remark was either misconstrued or misinterpreted.

"I did apologise for the remark. It could be in bad taste but I did not mean for it to sound like that," he was reported as saying in a local daily Monday.

Sabah Muslim Lawyers Association (Salwa) President Fatmah Wattie Abu Bakar claimed she and the other guest speakers at the Legal Literacy Seminar for Women were stunned to hear Roselan stating, among others, that "if you cannot fight rape, better lay down and enjoy it".

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman said he was saddened by the remark and would advise Roselan to be more careful.

Roselan claimed the particular phrase was a proverb he took from Confucius.

"Please accept my humblest apology," he said as women organisations in Sabah expressed outrage over the remark.

Roselan said sexual crimes were heinous acts and he shared the belief that the offences warranted stiff punishment.


Roselan misquoted Confucius, says Chau
25 May, 2004
Kota Kinabalu: Confucius had never said that “if you cannot fight rape, better lay down and enjoy it” as claimed by Umno Kota Kinabalu pro tem chairman Haji Roselan Johar Mohamed, said Sabah Chinese Culture Association Chairman Datuk Chau Tet On.

“Confucius had never said so, if that was what Haji Roselan was referring to,” he said.

He said if Roselan’s remark was taken from other sources, we would like him to point out the source,” Chau said Monday.

According to him, Confucius seldom touched on sex and even if he did say something that sounded unfair to women, it would have totally been rejected by the Chinese society.

On Roselan’s apology, Chau said apology is one thing but one should be serious about matters like this, especially when rape cases in the country are on the rise.


Roselan continues to come under fire
26 May, 2004
Kota Kinabalu: The Umno division leader here who made a callous remark about rape victims has continued to come under scathing attack for his insensitivity.

Wanita MCA Chairman, Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen, said she was shocked by Roselan Johar Mohamed’s mindset, adding that it was preposterous to link his comment to Confucius.

She said Roselan was “confused” because the Chinese philosopher did not have such a saying attributed to him, adding that Roselan should apologise to rape victims and women.

Dr Ng said Roselan had insulted Confucius who preached compassion, love and respect.

Women’s Aid Organisation said the statement by Roselan was “misogynistic, insensitive and trivialises the very suffering, degradation and horror experienced by rape survivors”.

Its Executive Director, Ivy Josiah, said public officials should be made more aware of the nature and effects of rape before expressing their views.

Meanwhile, President of the Sabah Thalassaemia Society, Abdul Rahim Hj Kahar, called for Roselan to be replaced.

Abdul Rahim, who is also Vice-President l of the Federation of Thalassaemia Associations Malaysia, said Roselan’s utterances were bound to reflect on Umno as a whole.

“As far as our Society is concerned, his statement is certainly not well-received and does not help in any manner to give moral support to rape survivors, in the light of a rape case involving one of our patients.

“His remarks have cheapened the status of women and girls in Sabah. I am speaking on behalf of the hundreds of thalassaemia patients in Sabah under the care of hospitals’ Thalassaemia Treatment Centres,” he said.

He said sometime in the middle of last year, a 16-year-old patient was raped in some bushes near Tanjung Aru by an unknown person who, earlier, offered a lift while the girl was waiting for transport at a bus stop, together with another patient.

The duo had just received blood transfusion at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital’s Thalassaemia Treatment Centre and wanted to go home. The other patient, however, managed to escape.

“Given the circumstances when the victim is chronically unwell, would she enjoy such an experience? On the contrary, it would only add to her physical and mental trauma,” Kahar contended.

Joining the chorus, Social activist Datin Sue Jayasuriya said she believed that many men are also furious over the remarks.

“Roselan’s action has tarnished the image of men. Our men are respectable people who have high moral principles and respect their mothers, sisters, wives and daughters,” she said.

She called on the men to express their displeasure to show that they do not fit into the likes of Roselan.


Roselan trivialised seriousness of rape, says Sawo
27, May 2004
Kota Kinabalu: Sabah Women Action Resource Group (Sawo) on Wednesday affirmed the views of the Sabah Muslim Women Lawyers Association (Salwa) and called on the Chief Minister to introduce measures such as awareness training to ensure that the political leadership is sensitive to the sentiments of their electorate.

Sawo President, Mary Lee, said the recent remarks on rape victims made by Umno Kota Kinabalu pro tem chairman, Roselan Johar Mohamed, trivialised the seriousness of the crime.

“His action is a setback in efforts made by the Government, women’s organisations and concerned individuals to combat violence against women.

“This shows that the issue of violence against women is still not taken seriously by some our leaders,” she said in a statement Wednesday.

Noting the intense reactions and outcry from various groups and individuals over the past three days, Lee said it showed Malaysians, in general, and Sabahans, in particular, will not tolerate any form of violence against women, be it physical, sexual or verbal.

“It is heartening to know that this is no more a ‘women’s problem’ but has become a social concern.

“Sawo reiterates that it is the collective responsibility of both women and men to end violence against women.”

She said rape is a heinous crime and its alarming incidence in the country had warranted the Government’s action to amend the Penal Code recently to provide for heavier deterrent sentences.

Quoting the latest statistics from the Royal Malaysian Police, Bukit Aman (earlier quoted by the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development), she said 7,456 rape cases were reported in Malaysia between 1998 and 2003.

“Of the figure, 661 cases occurred in Sabah and these do not include unreported rapes.”

Lee countered that instead of the psychological assessment, as suggested regarding the management of rape victims, facilities in the form of psychological support services need to be provided.

“This is to enable women to express what they endured, to receive acknowledgement of their suffering and personal violation and also to get re-assurance, practical advice and trauma counselling.

“Such services are to be included as a vital component when setting up shelters for distressed women and girls. These (shelters) are urgently needed in Sabah but unfortunately still unavailable.”


Need we say more about Roselan? (Opps .. Haji Roselan). When a leader mades such a statement he is automatically disqualified as a leader. No one, men or women alike, would ever trust him and respect him anymore, despite whatever excuses he gives and how many times he apologises.

Roselan has been given a chance to lead. He screwed it up. So he should go. If no action is taken against Roselan, it only shows those with authorities either equally insensitive or they too, have similar mentality.

Taking Joy Too Far?

Daily Express reported that A 23-year-old woman had her right leg severed following a collision involving a navy combat boat on the coastal highway waterfront, on the night when Sandakan was declared "Nature City".

The victim, Hartinie Abdul Malik, was sitting on the waterfront with her younger sister watching a demonstration by the Royal Malaysian Navy when the mishap took place at 10.45pm during the festivity to mark the launching of Sandakan as Nature City and Sandakan Festival 2004.

One of the three participating CB90H RMN combat boats went out of control and rammed into the seawall where the victims were seated, crushing the woman’s leg below the knee and severing it before turning turtle and capsizing.

The five navy personnel on board also sustained minor injuries. One of them, Shahrul Nizam, in his 30s, was warded for observation after he sustained a neck injury, while skipper Lt Azraf Faizuddin Che Cob had cuts on his right hand.

Police and Rela members rendered assistance to the unconscious victim by rushing her to the Duchess of Kent Hospital where her condition was said to be stable.

Doctors were said to have tried to re-attach the severed leg in an operation.

The victim’s sister, identified as Hartina, 18, was slight injured while a male companion was unharmed. Most of the crowd were shocked by the incident.

Commanding officer Shahruzaman Ahmad, describing the incident as unfortunate, assured that an investigation would be carried out.

He said Region II Commander First Admiral Datuk Abdul Aziz Jaafar was due here Wednesday to visit the victims.

In an unrelated incident, a 43-year-old man was also rushed to the hospital after being hit on the left shoulder by splinters from the fireworks launcher in an adjacent area.

Meanwhile, Sandakan Municipal Council (MPS) President, Datuk Adeline Leong said the Council expressed regret over the unforeseen incident. “We offer our sympathies to the families of the victims,” she said.

She was informed of the mishap 20 minutes after the ‘Nature City’ declaration ceremony had ended.

Leong, who visited Hartinie at the hospital Wednesday morning, described her as a brave lady who accepted her personal tragedy as fate.

“Given the circumstances, she could still offer a smile. She will be fitted with a prosthetic limb, according to the doctor,” she said.

Meanwhile, a navy spokesman told Leong that in the interest of public safety and to avert a recurrence of such accident, they would not hold a speedboat manoeuvring show again in future.

While it is good to celebrate the occasion with the people of Sandakan, security and safety measures must never be forgotten or compromised. Should the organisers, namely Sandakan Municipal Council, were more careful with its planning, not taking things for granted, the above ugly episode would not have happened. Words of comfort or sorry after the incident meant nothing even if it came from the MPS President herself.

Down-Grading Tawau

The previous Tawau Municipal Council (Majlis Perbandaran Tawau - MPT) president, Datuk Hamzah Hj Amir, announced before his transfer that Tawau would be made a city in year 2005. No one believed him then as he could only talk without any actions.

The present President, Datuk Hj Harith M Yahya, also talked about it. He has done a little more then the previous president. However, no one believes him too.

Datuk Harith seemed promising when he first took over as the council president in 2002. He fired his staff for poor working attitudes and complained about other government departments for not doing their jobs. He got the people wake up for a while waiting for more good news. Alas, it was not for long.

Now, like the other previous presidents, Datuk Harith too shows his true colour. First, he acts like real VIP by arriving late for function even when he is not the guest of honour (I do not meant guest of honour could arrive late). He insisted he knows about protocol since he was once in the state palace. But he got it all wrong.

MPT under his leadership now approved the fixing of street lights for the 30KM road from Tawau to Airport. Lamp posts were closely erected, probably advised by his wise engineers. While lighting up the strecth of road which is always deserted after 8.30pm, the housing areas are left in darkness. Burnt bulbs took years to be replaced.

Not enough for that, MPT now fixed up ancient street lights at areas where there are no activities at night. The front part of MPT especially is decorated with these ancient street lights but no one use thise area at night. The street lights are dim and serve no purpose.

Traffic congestion in Tawau is getting from bad to worse. The already narrow roads in town areas are made even narrower. According the wise engineers of MPT, it is to avoid traffic congestion since they said when the road is narrow, no vehicle could stop. Now, Tawau town is flooded with machine turtles due to the road-narrowing process. One just wonders where did these engineers of MPT graduate from.

Sabindo which was once the proud spot of Tawau is now the breeding ground for diseases, rats and flies. Clogged drains are left to unsolved after repeated complaints. The president claims to visit every corner of the town but he misses just too many places. The town councillors too are sleeping lots.

The list could go on and on. Instead of looking forward for a better life (not dare thinking of the city status), MPT is down-grading Tawau. The council must have lost their forward gear that's why they keep going backward.

Help Tawau, somebody! We need fresh blood in MPT!

Some Leaders Don't See When They Look

Read the following news reports and judge for yourself what our leaders are talking about.

1. 9 May 2004
Nazri: Lift night stay ban on island of Sipadan
SEMPORNA: Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Abdul Aziz will propose to the Cabinet to lift the night-stay ban on the diving resort island of Sipadan here, following improved security.

It is not practical and a burden to operators who have to bring the tourists out of the island before nightfall,” he told reporters here.

The Government had imposed the night-stay ban after armed men abducted nine Malaysians and 12 foreigners from the island in April 2000.

Nazri, who visited the island yesterday, said he would also propose to the Cabinet to set up a body to supervise the development of islands in the country.

He said such a proposal was also made under former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Earlier when addressing members of the Tawau natural disaster committee, he said the National Security Division should be notified of any disaster to enable speedy assistance to be given to those affected.

He said such committees should also identify potential disasters in areas marked for development. –Bernama

DPM Visits Sipadan, Happy with Security (Daily Express, 1st July 2003)

Pulau Sipadan: Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi Monday visited Pulau Sipadan and expressed satisfaction with the level of security on the island, a diving haven in Semporna water off East Coast of Sabah.

“I am happy with the situation in this area which is good and safe.. there has not been a criminal case since the one which happened previously (a kidnapping on April 23 2000). After that there has been no more incident and those visiting this island are all safe,” the Deputy Prime Minister told reporters covering his visit.

Abdullah who is also Home Minister flew in a helicopter from Tawau to the resort island of Mabul before taking a 20-minute boat ride to Pulau Sipadan where he spent about two hours.

Abdullah is the most senior government leader to visit Pulau Sipadan after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, in a decision on Dec 17, 2002 declared that the island and Pulau Ligitan belong to Malaysia.

Pulau Sipadan, the size of almost two football fields and located 21.8 nautical miles off Semporna town is listed as one of the top five scuba-diving destinations in the world. On April 23, 2000 a group of Abu Sayyaf gunman kidnapped 21 people, comprising nine Malaysians, two Filipinos and 10 foreign tourists on the island and took them in a boat to Jolo Island in Southern Philippines.

The victims were released in stages within six months except for the last hostage, Filipino Roland Ullah who escaped from the kidnappers early this month. When asked on the travel advisory issued by the United States on Malaysia, especially Sabah which is said to be exposed to Southern Philippines, Abdullah said the fact was that Malaysia was a safe country.

My advice is whoever wants to visit Sipadan should come. It is a beautiful island and they will have the advantage of seeing the (marine) treasure here,” he said.

Asked whether the Government would give special allocations to develop Pulau Sipadan, Abdullah said the matter had yet to be discussed. Abdullah said the discussion held in conjunction with his visit only touched on the question of the presence security forces in waters around the island.

During the visit, he was accompanied by Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Musa Aman and 1st Division Commander Lt. Jen Datuk Pahlawan Mohamad Azumi Mohamed – Bernama

Order to vacate Sipadan
Kota Kinabalu: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman confirmed Thursday that the five dive companies operating on the popular destination of Sipadan have been told to remove all man-made structures on the island by the end of this year.

This is in compliance to notices issued by the National Security Division. Musa said the directive was based on the recommendation by a special Federal-State committee co-chaired by the Chief Secretary and State Secretary. It was aimed at safeguarding Sipadan’s pristine environment.

We have asked the operators to vacate and build their chalets or resorts at nearby islands and leave Sipadan as it is. People can only visit the island for day trips,” he said. “I think this is more towards protecting the environment in Sipadan.”

Musa, who is also State Security Committee Chairman, believed the firms concerned had been given ample time to look for alternatives.

“(But) I’ll leave it to the committee, which is a joint Federal-State committee,” he said when asked on appeals by the operators, some of whom reportedly described it as unexpected and harsh.

Sipadan shot to world fame when it was recognised by world renowned oceanographer, late Jaques Costeau, as one of the top 10 diving spots in the world.

It was also the scene of an infamous transborder kidnap involving the Philippine-based Abu Sayyaf guerillas where more than 20 foreigners and locals were taken hostage.

Currently the Government has limited the number of people coming into the island daily to just 80 or 16 per firm.

When contacted, State Secretary Datuk K.Y Mustafa said all the dive operators had been made aware of the decision since last year. “We are not asking them to cease operations but only to dismantle their chalets from the island.

“The island cannot afford to have too many people staying overnight as we don’t want solid waste harming the surroundings.

“They can operate from Semporna or nearby islands as long as they don’t let the tourists stay overnight on Sipadan,” he said.

Mustafa said the decision was based on the need to protect the surroundings of the island, including its environmental feature. He added the Federal Government had also consented to the decision.

The move would ensure that the island, a popular spot for turtles to lay eggs and a transit point for migratory birds, is totally protected.

“As a matter of fact, the physical shape of the island is unique as it stands only on one trunk and looks fragile. It is comparatively small in comparison to other Islands.

“If we don’t protect this heritage, then we would lose Sipadan as the best spot for diving in the world.”

Asked about any restrictions on operating hours, Mustafa replied that the time limit for diving had yet to be determined. However, it was advisable for the tour operators to do only daytime diving. Night diving would need special permission and a special guide.

It was learnt that all Sipadan dive operators will meet to discuss the Government’s directive. According to a source, the operators are now in a fix on how to continue their diving business on the island.

“The operators feel the operating from outside the island is not viable because it would take them to ferry the tourists about three to four hours to reach Sipadan during bad weather. Normally on fine weather, it only takes between 30 minutes and an hour to reach there.

“They could not accept the decision if the Government’s reason in imposing the move is to preserve the environment as illegal fishing and fish bombing will take place when the island is unoccupied,” the source said.

Giving an example, he said it is an open secret that fish bombing and illegal fishing in places like Pulau Tiga or Pulau Mantanani is rampant because nobody visits or even stays on the two islands and enforcement is lackadaisacal.

Unlike in Mabul, he said Sipadan faced a serious problem of fish bombing but when some resorts were built, these illegal activity ceased.


Do you see what I saw? Datuk Musa, do you?

Was Salleh Cornered?

Something really interesting reported in Daily Express:

Five Umno branches in Kota Belud said Kota Belud Member of Parliament Datuk Salleh Said should keep to his word about not defending his Umno divisional head post next month.

The five branch heads Lamsil Hamidsor (Peninting), Jelun Sungit (Kampung Siasai), Raiman Taib (Lebak Moyoh), Besari Saudin and Masdor Haji Diman (Kedatuan Wakap) together with three members Nandra Hitong, Magit Julan and Karim Lunoh said this in a statement.

“We fully support Salleh’s decision not to defend his divisional head post which he announced on April 2 and as reported in the media,” they said.

They said Salleh’s decision does not come as a shock to them as he had written to the division’s committee members about his decision to give way.

“Salleh has been the divisional head for a long time and it is time we have a new leader,” said Lamsil.

“When a leader decided to give way, be it he or she has had enough or failed, it is only appropriate that he or she give up graciously,” said Lamsil.

Jelun said he respected Salleh’s smart decision not to defend his post and give the chance to others.

Raiman said a leader must keep to his or her words and once they decided “must stick to the decision” and not made a U-turn.

Meanwhile, Nasdra said Salleh had been the divisional head for more than a decade and his decision is, therefore, “very much appreciated.”


If one overstays his welcome like what Salleh did then this is what he has to face. He has no choice but to write in with honour to tell the committee members that he is not defending his post.

There might be three sides of the stories. One, Salleh knows his political days are numbered. Before he is booted out it is more honourable for him not to contest. If one could accept the facts that leader comes leader goes, then it is totally alright for him to do so.

But it could also due to the facts that Salleh has fallen out of favour with those powerfuls and was forced to indicate his intention in writing. Or else he would have to face the consequences.

Salleh could also play a game DAP Chairman, Lim Kit Siang, always played, resign and waits for members to pursuade him to stay. Thus it would show those above him that his services is still needed. But will he receive calls to ask him to stay?

Judging from the news report, the second assumption is more accurate. If Salleh had sinerely wanted to leave, no one would need to remind (humiliate) him in such a way, calling him to keep his words.

Another political reality. Leave before you overstay your welcome.

The Right Bahasa Malaysia

Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said on Monday that Leaders must speak in correct Bahasa Melayu at official functions to promote the usage of the national language.

He said the language culture of present leaders was akin to “Touch N Go”, which would eventually be followed by the people.

“We must speak the national language correctly. The correct use of Bahasa Melayu should begin with those in authority. If the leaders do not converse in proper Bahasa Melayu, our younger generation will also not speak the language correctly,” he told reporters after visiting the National Arts Academy.

This trend, if left unchecked, would lead to the birth of a generation speaking “Bahasa Rojak” or mixed language, he said.

As such, leaders should set an example by speaking the language correctly, he said.

“For instance, when you speak in English, speak in proper English.

Likewise, when speaking in Bahasa Melayu, speak the language correctly.

“If our spoken language is not right, people will say it’s not right,” he said.

Dr Rais questioned the attitude of certain quarters who disputed the Government’s action in the “Bahasa Rojak” or mixed language issue as not honouring the national language as enshrined under Article 160 of the Federal Constitution.

“If such an honour is not accorded to the national language, why should we enact the National Language Act? Since we’ve the Act, we should implement it,” he added

We do agree with what Dr Rais Yatim was talking about. Howvever, language especially Bahasa Malaysia is just too hard to control. Besides having different dialects from various states in Malaysia, we also have the natives languages besides the influence of major Chinese, Indian and English languages.

Just recently a reader of Utusan Malaysia complained about the type of language used on signboards in Putrajaya, supposedly the most important 'example'for all Malaysians. Words like 'parcel, presinct, boulevard and souq" which were definitely not Bahasa Malaysia were used.

In response, Director of Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka, Dr. Awang Sariyan said they had questioned Perbadanan Putrajaya about the choice of words but he was ignored.

Let see if Dr Rais Yatim could make any changes to the choice of words used in Putrajaya before he correct the YBs on using proper BM.

Kalau selalu cakap tak betui macam mana nak betul? Bila semuanya sudah betui baru ngam. Teda guna cakap teda serupa bikin.

YB (Yang Bergambar) Chua Soon Bui

Chua Soon Bui, the Wanita Chief of Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) is always moving in front of cameramen. She likes to be photograhed and more so if those photographs taken are published in newspapers. She even brings along her aids to take photographs for her whenever she goes. Sometimes she pays to get her petty news into front page of local dailies.

It is understandable for Chua to post for press if she is still the Member of Parliament or someone important. She was once an MP for Tawau during 1995 to 1999, but her place has long been replaced by Shim Paw Fatt, her party mate. Shim is into his second term as MP for Tawau after winning the seat uncontested during the last election.

So Chua Soon Bui is no longer the MP but she still acts like one, or at certain time she is more YB than the real YB. She wants people to address her as YB Chua instead of Puan Chua or Madam Chua. She wanted newsmen to name her as the former MP for Tawau. YB just mean so much to her.

She has been trying hard to lobby for a place either in the parliament or state assembly. However her over-exposure and over stepping on other people's rights and jurisdiction has angered and offended many, including her own party members. Therefore she was never proposed by the Tawau SAPP CLC. Subsequently, her name was never in SAPP's list of proposed candidates for the last general election.

In her quest for fame, title, power and popularity, she joined many non-governmental organisations. Not only that she also arranged for her followers to be in those organisations. She demanded for positions in those organisations. Instead of contributing to the organisations she joined, she dragged them into politics. She politicised the organisations and created misunderstanding among members. She made all kinds of promises as though she was more powerful than the ministers. When none of her promises materialise, she left quietly looking for new organisations to continues her hidden agenda.

She also visits the sicks and unfortunates, not to offer console or help but to be photographed and pretend to be someone who cares. She was building publicity on the sorrow of others. Her tricks failed to convince the public.

Has Chua Soon Bui contributed anything to the society? NONE. Not when she was the MP and not after that. She is only a woman hungry for popularity. That's why she is nicked YB (Yang Bergambar) Chua.

Wake up Chua Soon Bui.
