West Ham call on Fifa to ban former player Diamanti Posted: 08 Jul 2011 08:43 AM PDT LONDON, July 8 — West Ham United want Fifa and the Italian football federation (FIGC) to suspend the registration of their former midfielder Alessandro Diamanti as his current club Brescia have failed to pay the latest instalment on his transfer fee. The Italian international left West Ham to join Brescia last August for €2.2 million (RM9.56 million) but the English Club, relegated from the Premier League last season, want him banned until the matter is settled. "Due to the failure of Brescia to pay the latest instalment fee, West Ham have asked the FIGC to suspend the player's registration and requested that the national association and Fifa impose sporting sanctions until the matter is resolved," the club said in a statement on their website (http://www.whufc.com). No-one from Brescia was immediately available to comment. Diamanti, 28, spent just a season at West Ham after signing on a five-year contract from Livorno in August 2009, scoring seven league goals in 28 appearances. He scored six goals in 31 appearances for Brescia last season and won his first Italy cap. Like West Ham, Brescia ended the season relegated from the top flight. — Reuters Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price.

New arrests in match-fixing scandal rock South Korea Posted: 08 Jul 2011 07:30 AM PDT SEOUL, July 8 — South Korean prosecutors have arrested almost 50 more players in connection with a match-fixing scandal that has rocked professional football in the country and threatens to leave several teams short-handed this weekend. Changwon District Prosecutors' Office revealed 46 players, including nine from South Korea's military side Sangmu Phoenix, were charged yesterday in relation to the attempted fixing of 15 matches from June to October last year. Prosecutors also charged 11 brokers, including several former players, with match-fixing. A K-League crackdown has already resulted in 10 players —eight from the Daejon Citizen club alone — being booted out of the sport for accepting cash in return for helping to throw matches, while another has been banned for five years. "We've confirmed so far that a wide range of players, not just reserve players but players who are on the national team and highly paid players, have been involved," Changwon's lead prosecutor said in a televised statement. The league is expected to convene a meeting to discuss the latest arrests, which have thrown the 28-year-old league into chaos. Local media reported that several teams could struggle to field teams for the weekend's matches due to the arrests. One of the highest profile players to be detained in the ongoing investigation is South Korea international Choi Sung-kuk, who came forward under a K-League amnesty that offered reduced penalties and ended on July 7. A player was also found dead in a hotel room with media reporting a suicide note was found at the scene linked to the match-fixing saga. South Korea's government has also threatened to "shut down" the country's professional soccer league after losing patience with the embarrassing scandal. The state-run sports bookmaker, Sports Toyo, has been prevented from taking bets on games since the corruption scandal broke. — Reuters Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price.

Jakarta rocks as stop on global concert circuit Posted: 07 Jul 2011 08:38 PM PDT JAKARTA, July 8 — Kylie Minogue cavorted amid indigo lights as thousands clapped and cheered. An ordinary concert scene — except that this was Indonesia, the world's most populous Islamic nations, and tickets cost more than an average month's pay for many.     Yet Minogue is far from alone in playing Jakarta, capital of Southeast Asia's top economy. Artists including Justin Bieber, Janet Jackson and Bruno Mars have all held concerts here in recent months, with the Cranberries, Linkin Park, and Lady Gaga set to come.     File photo of Minogue performing during her 'Aphrodite: Les Folies Tour 2011' in Riga, Latvia on February 25, 2011. — Reuters pic All are aiming at Indonesia's young population, the world's fourth-largest, with its rapidly-growing middle class that is able and eager to splash out for tickets.    "Indonesia is on the radar of artists in Asia because the market potential is huge and people don't mind spending more on tickets," said Jakarta-based music expert Bens Leo.     Farid Dermawan and 14 friends shelled out 1.5 million rupiah (RM528) each for their tickets, about 15 per cent higher than the capital's monthly minimum wage peg. Tickets ranged from 1 million to 4.5 million rupiah.     "The amount I paid is fine because I am a Kylie fan since I was born. I'm excited," said the 34-year-old Dermawan, a video clip director, as the silvery wings attached to the back of a black vest he made for the occasion flapped up.     About 90 per cent of the tickets for Minogue's concert sold, said promoter EC Entertainment, which added that the ticket price range was "affordable."     Yet even steeper concerts do well. A recent concert by David Foster sold out, despite tickets ranging from 1 million rupiah up to 25 times that price. Leo said the big name rush is sparked partly by slower demand in countries such as the United States after the economic crisis. Merchandising possibilities are also appealing, allowing artists to rake in still more money. With slowing global demand for CDs and cassettes worsened by the digital age, artists are looking to gain more from a much broader range of products, music expert Leo said. "You don't see CDs on sale in concerts anymore, they offer merchandise now because that's what's selling," he added. At the Minogue concert, fans lined up to buy T-shirts, jugs and books featuring Minogue's costumes and make-up.         Jakarta's success on the concert circuit is all the more surprising because the mammoth city of 10 million faces a number of hurdles, including a traffic situation Minogue herself described as "traffic drama" and caused the concert to start 30 minutes late. It took some fans three hours to arrive. Until a few years ago there was also the threat of attacks by Islamic militants against "Western" symbols, which in the past resulted in the sudden cancellation of concerts, much to the disappointment of concert-goers.     But successful crackdowns on in recent years have helped brought reassurance to the far-flung archipelago. "In the last one or two years concerts take place at least once a month, and the key draw is improved security," said Wiradi, the production general manager at EC Entertainment.     Despite Indonesia's Islamic majority, it remains a secular country and more welcoming to artists than neighbour Malaysia, where criticism of a planned Beyonce concert for its possible "inciting of moral issues" led to the event's cancellation.    Still, some doubts linger.     Intan Hafsanida, who came in a Greek-goddess style white dress and garland of golden leaves in line with the theme of the concert, said she first thought of seeing the concert in Singapore due to concerns it might be tamed for moral reasons. But in the end, Minogue's revealing dresses and the gyrating crew of buff men cavorted on stage as planned.     "I know it's so expensive, but it's still Kylie," said Hafsanida."She has never been here before so this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience." — Reuters Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price.

‘Horrible Bosses’ eyes joblessness, aims for laughs Posted: 07 Jul 2011 04:25 PM PDT (Left to right) Bateman, Aniston and Foxx pose at the premiere of "Horrible Bosses" in Hollywood, California June 30, 2011. — Reuters pic NEW YORK, July 8 — In Hollywood's new film comedy "Horrible Bosses," an ex-Lehman Brothers executive who is jobless and desperate for money offers sexual favours to some old buddies in return for cash. While that may seem odd or out-of-place for a Wall Streeter in a Hollywood movie (Gordon Gekko would never stoop so low), the director of "Hollywood Bosses" sees many more such jokes and plots in films, given the currently weak economy. Director Seth Gordon said his movie, about three old friends who feel stuck in their jobs so they plot to kill their mean bosses, reflected real people's struggles to change jobs. "You are going to see a bunch of movies that are themed in this way about people that are stuck in some way and want to restart and possibly can't. I think that premise is something that is really relatable right now," Gordon said. "Horrible Bosses," stars Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis as three average Americans being bullied by their bosses — one played by Jennifer Aniston in her raunchiest role yet as an oversexed dentist — who want to move up the ladder but can't. Its big-name supporting cast includes Jamie Foxx, Kevin Spacey and Colin Farrell. Gordon said the scene where the friends encounter their old acquaintance from Lehman Brothers, who was still out of work, played on people's worries about what might happen if they lost or quit their jobs. "We needed to put a fine point on the fact that these guys didn't have other options," said Gordon, adding that without plotting to go as far as kill their bosses, many real Americans could relate to feeling stuck in their current job. "One thing has led to another, they (the main characters) are in their thirties, they have taken a job or a series of jobs and they have ended up in a place that in the current economy is relatively fragile," said the director, whose career has included directing episodes of TV series, "The Office," as well as the documentary movie, "Freakonomics." "It's not like you can move easily from company to company anymore," he added, noting that his film is set against a backdrop of how the "American Dream" is no longer as attainable as it once was. A few years ago dramatic films including "Up in the Air" about people being fired and serious documentaries such as "Inside Job" followed the initial global economic slump in 2008, but there have been far fewer comedies so it's difficult to forecast how "Horrible Bosses" will play for audiences. Early reviews have noted that "Horrible Bosses" is hardly risky in its content, with website Indiewire noting it is "the lightest and fluffiest of stuff" and "an intermittently funny, instantly forgettable romp." Apart from a wacky turn by Farrell playing a sleazy, cocaine addicted womanizer, Aniston is likely to capture the most attention as a sexually aggressive dentist who hits on her subordinate, played by Day, because it plays against her all-American, good girl image. "I thought it would be fun for me to step out of that, what people usually like to see me play," Aniston told reporters. "I don't think I really care if there would be a bad reaction to it, I actually didn't think there would be, I thought it would be fun for everybody." — Reuters Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price.

KDN: Tiada keperluan guna tentera, Internet tidak dihalang Posted: 08 Jul 2011 03:13 AM PDT KUALA LUMPUR, 8 Julai — Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein berkata Putrajaya tidak akan menggunakan khidmat tentera bagi mengawal keadaan jika Himpunan Bersih 2.0 diadakan esok sambil menambah penggunaan Internet tidak akan mengalami gangguan. "Kita tidak tahu apa yang akan berlaku esok atau sehari selepas itu. Tetapi di bawah undang-undang ada peruntukan. "Buat masa sekarang, kami merasakan polis sudah cukup dan tidak ada keperluan untuk gunakan khidmat tentera," katanya. Menteri Dalam Negeri (gambar) itu berkata kepada pemberita di Bukit Aman bahawa Putrajaya perlu bertindak terhadap perhimpunan esok yang dijangka akan turut disertai Pemuda Umno sementara Perkasa telah membatalkan niat untuk berhimpun. Bersih, gabungan 62 pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO), memutuskan untuk mengadakan perhimpunan di Stadium Merdeka esok dengan menegaskan sudah terlalu lewat untuk mengubah rancangan mereka. Gerakan itu juga menuntut Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak, yang mencadangkan kepada Bersih 2.0 mengadakan perhimpunan di stadium dengan menegaskan Stadium Merdeka perlu diberikan kepada gabungan itu.

Ambiga derhaka titah Agong, dakwa Perkasa Posted: 08 Jul 2011 03:06 AM PDT KUALA LUMPUR, 8 Julai — Presiden Perkasa Datuk Ibrahim Ali hari ini mendakwa Pengerusi Bersih 2.0 Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasen "menderhaka" kepada titah Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tunku Mizan Zainal Abidin kerana berkeras mahu mengadakan Himpunan Bersih 2.0 di Stadium Merdeka esok. "Saya kesal dan dukacita Ambiga selaku Pengerusi Bersih 2.0 yang menghadap Yang di-Pertuan Agong dan sampai peringkat Agong bertitah, namun masih mahu buat di stadium. "Bersih 2.0 boleh buat di Stadium Melawati, boleh buat perarakan di Jambatan Pulau Pinang... kenapa tak buat di sana? Apa tujuan dia (nak buat di Stadium Merdeka)? Nak tunjuk kepada dunia? Kenapa nak buat di Stadium Merdeka, ini jelas Ambiga tidak hormat dan taat kepada Agong, beliau penderhaka," katanya pada sidang media di sini. Kata Ibrahim (gambar), Ambiga tidak menggunakan peluang menemui Yang di-Pertuan Agong sebaliknya membelakangkan titah baginda. "Semalam kita menghadap Yang di-Pertuan Agong yang mana kita tahu selama ini Perkasa yang mempertahankan institusi diraja, Ambiga diberi peluang tapi tidak menghormati Agong, beliau perempuan paling biadap. "Beliau tidak erti budaya orang Asia dan orang Melayu," katanya. Himpunan Bersih 2.0 yang turut disokong Pakatan Rakyat dijangka akan meneruskan perhimpunan di Stadium Merdeka esok walaupun polis telah mengeluarkan arahan larangan semalam. Malah polis juga telah menyenaraikan nama 91 individu yang tidak dibenarkan memasuki Kuala Lumpur esok termasuk Ibrahim, Ambiga dan Ketua Pemuda Umno Khary Jamaluddin. Mereka dilarang memasuki Kuala Lumpur antara pukul 8 pagi dan 6 petang Sabtu ini sama ada berjalan kaki atau menaiki mana-mana kenderaaan termasuk bas dan kereta api.  Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price.

Negeri serba satu dan badut-badut Posted: 07 Jul 2011 09:32 PM PDT 8 JULAI — Agak kepelikan sesuatu yang "Bersih" dianggap "Haram"? Situasi nampaknya semacam cerita filem suspens. Pada 5 July pemimpin Bersih mengadap TYDP Agong di Istana untuk membincang dan mendapat pandangan Tuanku tentang himpunan Bersih yang dikotorkan oleh pihak-pihak tertentu. TYDP Agong berkenan untuk menasihati bahawa eloklah diadakan di stadium bagi mengelak kejadian yang tidak diingini berlaku. Pemimpin Bersih di bawah wanita besi Ambiga bersetuju dan dimasyhurkanlah keputusan TYDP Agong itu kepada rakyat Malaysia. Ikutilah catatan saya di bawah dalam kisah negara Serba Satu Merebut Gelaran Bapa Badut. Begini ceritanya… Tamparan titah Tuanku itu kepada Mamak Bendahara Najib amatlah sakit kerana sebelumnya mamak bendahara telah mengecop Bersih sebagai haram. Mana boleh pertubuhan haram mengadap Tuanku? Kedua Mamak Bendahara Najib tergamam kerana cadangan Tuanku yang mahukan hak berhimpun dipelihara dengan mencadangkan diadakan di stadium. Ketiga Mamak Bendahara Najib malu betapa badutnya Ketua Keselamatannya kerana sepatutnya dia yang menasihati Bersih dan memelihara hak berhimpun itu, tak perlulah Tuanku. Keempat, badut-badut lain yang menjilat-jilat di bawah Mamak Bendahara terjelir lidah mereka kerana Mamak Bendahara bersetuju dengan berat hati diadakan juga di stadium walaupun sebelumnya menganggap Haram. Laksamana-laksamana Bersih mencanangkan kepada rakyat-rakyat sekelian bahawa Tuanku perkenan diadakan juga perhimpunan ini dalam stadium, gegak gempitalah suara sorak rakyat-rakyat sekelian dengan laungan "Daulat Tuanku!" dan Mamak Bendahara Najib pun tersenyum tersipu-sipu bukan malu tetapi "bengang" kerana kebodohannya terselah sudah bagai bibirnya yang merah itu. Askar-askar upahan Perkasa dan Patriot yang sebelumnya beriya-iya menentang Laksamana-laksamana Bersih turut tersipu-sipu menumpang kebodohan Mamak Bendahara kerana mereka tidak diperkenankan berjumpa dengan TYDP Agong walaupun beriya-iya menjilat-jilat hingga ke saat ini. Ariakan bersoraklah rakyat marhaein menjunjung tinggi TYDP Agong kerana kebijaksanaan dan ketajaman Tuanku memelihara hak rakyat. Ketua Keselamatan menyalak-nyalak pada laksamana-laksamana Bersih seraya tangannya menunjuk-nunjuk beri amaran. "Tiada izin akan dikeluarkan untuk berhimpunan kerana Bersih haram!" Tercenganglah rakyat bukan kerana kagum dengan kehebatan Ketua Keselamtan ini tetapi terkejut melihat tahap akal yang ada padanya. Lagaknya lebih hebat dari Mamak Bendahara yang dibodohkan, mungkin Ketua Keselamtan ini berlumba-lumba untuk meningkatkan tahap kebodohan masing-masing supaya digelar "Bapa Badut" di bumi yang semuanya satu. Maka dicanangkanlah nama-nama sekian pejuang negara yang pada tanggapan calon Bapa Badut ini akan menjejaskan ketenteraman rakyat jelata. Senarainya panjang seramai 91 orang. Tercenganglah lagi rakyat kerana selalunya nama yang dicanang oeh Ketua Keselamatan adalah penjenayah-penjenayah yang membuat onar tetapi senarai yang dicanangkan adalah orang-orang terhormat yang almaklum namanya yang harum. Ulamak Besar dan pemerintah negeri bawah naungan Tuanku turut disenaraikan, Ketua kumpulan pejuang yang taat setia kepada Tuanku disenaraikan juga malah ketua-ketua daerah bawah naungan Tuanku turut dipangkah oleh Ketua Keselamatan ini. Rakyat sekelian melihat betapa sungguhnya Ketua Keselamtan ini mahu merampas tahta Badut yang selama ini dipegang oleh Mamak Bendahara. Ada rakyat yang berbisik sesama mereka, elok juga Tuanku ada badut yang hebat, boleh juga menghibur Tuanku diistananya nanti bila hari tuanya. Demikianlah rakyat terus mengadu betapa sekatan-sekatan di tengah jalan menyusahkan harian mereka, ada yang mahu ke kota besar kerana menghadiri kenduri sanak-saudara dan keponakannya tergendala, ada yang mahu mellihat bangunan tinggi di kota besar Tuanku terencat perjalanannya, malah kenderaan-kenderaan pendati pun disekat masuk maka hilanglah pelanggannya untuk mencari sesuap nasi buat anak isterinya. Calon Bapa Badut memohon maaf kerana katanya mahu menjaga keselamatan awam oleh laksamana-laksamana Bersih yang datang mengganggu, tercengang lagilah rakyat-rakyat sekelian kerana Laksamana-laksamana Bersih ini mendapat perkenan Tuanku untuk berhimpun. Rakyat sekelian tertanya-tanya, walaupun marhaein adanya apakah calon Bapa Badut ini lebih besar dari TYDP Agong? Kerana gilakan gelaran Bapa Badut Ketua Keselamatan ini lupa bahawa pasukannya bernama Polis Di Raja, bukankah Tuanku ketuanya? Tetapi rakyat-rakyat sekelian tidak ambil peduli kerana kagum semangat badut yang ada pada Ketua Keselamatan ini. Esok 9 July adalah pesta rakyat merayakan bebas dari Badut-badut ini termasuklah yang cuba-cuba menjadi Badut. Esok rakyat sekelian akan menghormati titah Tuanku untuk berhimpun menjunjung kebijaksanaan kepimpinan Tuanku. Maka pencacai-pencacai Badut pun akan melepaskan nafsu amarah dengan menyembur-nyembur sana sini dan memukul-memukul dengan kayu kerana menjilat Ketuanya. Rakyat sekelian akan diterajang sehendak mereka dan penjara-penjara pun jadi sesaklah sehingga terpaksa dipenjara di kawasan yang luas. Demikianlah kisah sebuah negara yang semuanya satu tetapi mereka lupa ada sesuatu yang lebih besar namanya dari bumi ini, iaitu AHAD yang difahami oleh sekelian rakyat-rakyat sebagai TUHAN YANG SATU! Pastinya rakyat marhaein akan berserah kepada TUHAN YANG SATU yang turut tertawa melihat gelagat Badut Badut di bumi serba satu ini. Sekian adanya catitan hamba yang hina lagi dhaif ini untuk pejuang-pejuang rakyat menjunjung titah Tuanku. DAULAT TUANKU! * The views expressed here are the personal opinion of the columnist.

How low can you go Posted: 07 Jul 2011 05:12 PM PDT JULY 8 — The whole political drama surrounding Bersih 2.0's planned rally on Saturday has reached historical proportions — but at which end, whether incredibly ridiculous or incredibly ingenious, still begs decision. On one hand, we have Bersih 2.0, with a committee made up of respected citizens with a deep understanding of electoral issues, bent on rallying for one cause: free and fair elections in a country that has been ruled by one multi-party coalition for over 50 years. On the other hand, I know I am not the only who feels that there is a tactical game plan being rolled out to disable Bersih 2.0 and build anxiety among the general population. Recently, as my dad, his German friend and I talked about Malaysia's politics, my father pointed out that governments should realise that the people today have something that they might not have had 50 years ago: education. When the country's politicians were in their 20s, things were a lot different. Yet, the answer is not in trying to woo young people over Twitter and Facebook, not when their generation knows you mess around with PSD scholarships. Plus, there are "Ignore", "Block" and "Unfollow" options. Those in their late 20s and above are a lot more educated than some of the country's politicians will ever be. With this level of education comes better-paying jobs, and with that, comes exposure, evolving viewpoints, information exchange — all the traits of a developed country. But we cannot be a developed country and try and suppress people for having an opinion. And what IS being a "developed country"? Bigger buildings? GST? Sky-high property prices? More FDI? Less FDI? We must remember that there is no "developed country" without a developed people. Our people (and yes, this means non-Bumiputeras too) are our biggest asset. The government must realise this in some way or why keep screaming about brain drain? Trying to woo people back to "serve their country" and yet call them "pendatang" is not going to win any votes, for goodness sake. Which is one of the many reasons why the brain-drain "problem" will never be solved. In the meantime, organising a big bunch of motorcyclists to circle the opposition's headquarters while waving Umno flags was too obvious an attempt at intimidation. Furthermore, we have been struggling with Mat Rempit hooligans for years and it was almost sad to see the obvious irony lost on the organiser(s). And now, here we are. The claws are out. The law is being bastardised and used as a whip. "Waging war against the Yang di-Pertuan Agong"? Seriously? The police have been amazing. Their swift action in detaining hundreds under emergency laws in a few weeks has been impressive. Meanwhile, the acid splasher who injured over 20 women is still at large although months have passed and police have a photo-fit of the man. Cue: Shamini throws her hands up in the air. As the government and its allies clutch at straws, desperately wielding every "weapon" in their arsenal — from silat to rationing bus permits — we watch part in anger, part in amusement, and all in irritation. Through all the politicking over the past few weeks, one message has prevailed: people power. When a group of ordinary folk band together for a cause, the grace with which it faces its adversaries yet remains steadfast, is something political parties (BN or PR) can gain pointers from. Let's get one thing right — Bersih 2.0 has already won. * The views expressed here are the personal opinion of the columnist. Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price.
