Rosberg outshines home favourite Hamilton and wins British GP Posted: 30 Jun 2013 07:54 AM PDT June 30, 2013 Taste of victory. Third place finisher, Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, gets bubbly punishment from Mercedes ace Nico Rosberg who won the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in England today. - Reuters pic, June 30, 2013.Friends they may be, Mercedes team mates too, but Nico Rosberg continues to be a thorn in the side of Englishman Lewis Hamilton. What's more, this time the German did it in front of Hamilton's home crowd by winning the British Formula One Grand Prix today at Silverstone. Australian Mark Webber finished second for Red Bull, while Spaniard Fernando Alonso was third in his Ferrari. Perhaps the one consolation for Hamilton, who finished fourth, was the retirement of world champion and 2013 championship leader Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull. Vettel's Red Bull broke down while he was leading, and the rival who benefitted the most was Alonso. Vettel has 132 points to the Spaniard's 111 after eight of 19 races, with the German's home race at the Nuerburgring next up in a week's time. Australian Mark Webber, who had started on the second row but plunged to 14th at the end of the first lap after a nightmare start, finished second to continue a run of Silverstone podium finishes dating back to 2009. "It's a very, very special day," said Rosberg of his second win of the season. "With Lewis, I feel sorry for all the British fans. It would have been a great race for Lewis here in front of his home crowd. That's racing sometimes," said Rosberg in a podium interview with 1996 champion Damon Hill. "When Sebastian stopped, I won't lie. I wasn't disappointed by that one. And it was just a great race from then," added the German, who beat Webber by 0.7 seconds after a thrilling last seven laps following the second safety car. Hamilton had started on pole, chasing his first win for Mercedes since his move from McLaren, and led for the first eight laps until the 2008 world champion's rear left tyre exploded in a flash of flailing rubber. He nursed his bucking car around the circuit, pitted in 18th place and returned to the track 21st with his hopes of victory wrecked. It was the start of a mighty drive by the Briton, who ended the race in fourth place. "Wonderful drive, Lewis," said team principal Ross Brawn over the team radio at the finish. "Sorry it didn't quite work out but well done." Hamilton's blowout was the first of five rear left failures in a race with two safety car stints - one of them caused by Vettel whose car ground to a halt on the pit straight while he was leading. "Lost the drive, lost the gearbox," the German shouted over the radio. Ferrari's Brazilian Felipe Massa, Frenchman Jean-Eric Vergne in the Toro Rosso and Mexicans Esteban Gutierrez and Sergio Perez for Sauber and McLaren respectively also suffered tyre failures. Red Bull said they found cuts in Vettel's tyre after he had pitted while Mercedes detected the start of delamination in Rosberg's rear left. "We have seen something new, a different type of problem. We're currently performing our analysis, we've got to go away and understand what has happened today," said Pirelli motorsport director Paul Hembery. "It was one tyre at the back, left rear, so we need to understand that. It's pointless me adding anything else until we have all the facts," he told reporters. Massa went to the back of the field after he pitted on three tyres and a rim but also fought back to finish sixth, behind Lotus's Kimi Raikkonen. Raikkonen set a Formula One record for his 25th successive points finish. Germany's Adrian Sutil was seventh for Force India with Ausralian Daniel Ricciardo eighth for Toro Rosso. Britain's Paul Di Resta was ninth for Force India, after qualifying fifth on Saturday and then being demoted to the back row of the grid when his car was found to be underweight. Germany's Nico Hulkenberg took the final point for Sauber, with former champions Williams finishing empty-handed for the ninth race in a row. Their Venezuelan driver Pastor Maldonado was 11th. – Reuters, June 30, 2013.

Serena turns on style to beat golden oldie Posted: 29 Jun 2013 08:24 PM PDT June 30, 2013 After all the shocks and spills of the opening week, top seed Serena Williams remained impregnable as she unleashed her full arsenal to move almost effortlessly into the last 16 at Wimbledon yesterday. A crushing 6-2 6-0 win over Japanese veteran Kimiko Date-Krumm offered a reminder that, while her closest rivals in the women's game are often vulnerable to upsets, she is an immovable object at the top of the tree. With main rivals Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka departing in the second round, Williams spoke optimistically of a new generation coming through. The fact the she was playing a 42-year-old, perhaps told a different story. "I feel like this might be the beginning of maybe the future," she said. "Eventually there's going to have to be a shift of players." Williams, considered an old-stager herself despite being 11 years younger than her opponent, never allowed Date-Krumm to gain a foothold in the match, crunching winners and firing down eight aces with her usual high levels of aggression. The fact that the Japanese had got this far was a testament to her wiles, but without the weapons to threaten arguably the greatest athlete the women's game has ever seen, she came up well short of turning the match into a contest. The 84th-ranked Date-Krumm originally retired two years before Williams set foot on the Wimbledon grass for the first time, but is currently enjoying a late bloom in her career having returned to the court in 2008 after a 12-year break. The spirit that helped her reach a Wimbledon semi-final in 1996 is there but the raw power now required to make an impression against the likes of Williams is missing. The pedestrian Date-Krumm serve seemed to belong to a different era and was ruthlessly dispatched as Williams took the first set in 35 minutes, breaking three times. The second set was an exercise in brutality as Williams wrapped up the match without dropping another game to extend her winning streak 34. The top seed had been made to wait before getting under way. She was scheduled third on Court One, but when the two men's matches that came before dragged on she was switched to Centre for a maiden appearance under the roof lights. She complained that maybe Wimbledon's tradition of having two men's matches on the showpiece arenas was unfair. "Well, it's their policy," she said. "I'm always fighting for the ladies. Maybe one day we'll get two matches and the men will get one match, and maybe they'll be able to switch back and forth hopefully." The fans may disagree. The two men's matches on Court One yesterday produced more than six hours of entertainment, while Williams's brief appearance lasted 61 minutes. Williams, chasing a sixth Wimbledon title and 17th grand slam overall, will face Germany's 23rd seed Sabine Lisicki in the fourth round. "I feel like she's serving massive," she said. "I feel like she plays some of her best tennis on grass. She always pulls an upset. It will be a really tough match for me. I have to get serious to play it." - Reuters, June 30, 2013.

The untold story of gun violence - Life-altering injuries Posted: 29 Jun 2013 05:52 PM PDT June 30, 2013  Miles Turner V, 18, was shot at least five times on a Chicago sidewalk last October. Doctors believed he might die, but he survived. The high school football player, who had never been in any trouble, is now undergoing physical therapy, in hopes of being able to walk again. "His life has changed dramatically from what it was," said his father, Miles Turner IV.  "It's not easy." Young Miles represents a largely untold side of the gun violence story.  It's about the survivors who must live with costly and often permanently debilitating injuries. The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project, a group of national hospital databases, in 2009 showed 76,100 emergency room visits for gunshot wounds, about half of which involved assault.  That same year, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control logged 11,493 firearm homicides - less than a third of the number of assault injuries. One notable example of a gunshot survivor whose life was permanently changed is former Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head during a public appearance in 2011.  She retired from Congress to focus on a lengthy recovery. "Just looking at the number of deaths misses the enormity of the problem of street shootings," said David Hemenway, director of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center, who would like to see more research done on non-fatal gunshot injuries.  "Until you can quantify the enormity of the problem, you can't figure out what interventions work and don't work." Miles Turner's Recovery Miles Turner V was around the corner from his home on Chicago's South Side, talking with a girl on her porch, when his cousin came by.  Unlike Miles, who took no interest in street life, Modell McCambry, 17, was a gang "wannabe," according to Miles' father. A gunman stepped out of the gangway and shot Modell.  As Miles bent over to embrace his mortally wounded cousin, he was shot in the back, his parents said.  The assailant has not been caught. Miles was so gravely wounded that after one surgery, doctors told his father the youth's intestines fell through their hands when they picked them up.  He remained in a medically induced coma for weeks. Around Christmas, Miles was moved to a specialty wound center, and then to the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago before going home in May.  Teachers from Leo Catholic High School tutored him so he could keep up with his education, and he graduated June 2. Adjustment to the physical changes in his life has been difficult for Miles.  The former athlete has a catheter and needs a wheelchair to move around.  His parents rise early to help him wash and get dressed, before they go to work. Normally sociable and with a good sense of humor, during his treatments Miles was sometimes withdrawn, said his mother, Angela Turner. She recalled sitting at his bedside and telling him: "It's unfortunate that this happened to you but He spared your life, so it's not the end. It's just something we have to deal with right now." Costly Injuries A shooting - fatal or not - is a nest of different costs, including the price of criminal justice and the destruction of a community by fear, Hemenway said. "The medical care costs can be very hard - the victim's quality of life goes way down, and the costs to society can be enormous," he said. It is difficult to say if advances in medical care have decreased deaths or improved injury outcomes, said Hemenway, since firearms, like medicine, have become more potent. Injuries from firearms cost close to $21 billion in 2010, according to a study published in 2012 by the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation, a non-profit independent research group.  Factored into the costs are lost work time, medical care, emergency transport services and police work, the study said. In Cook County, which includes Chicago, every gunshot victim that enters the public hospital system costs taxpayers an average of $52,000. There were 846 reported victims in 2012, putting the costs at about $44 million. "The terrible truth is the people who die cost us less than the people who live," said County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, speaking on the issue last fall. This is a plague that affects mostly young males. Assault-related gunshot injuries are nine times higher among men, and three times more likely for victims aged 18-29 than any other age group, according to the healthcare project. Nationally, 44 percent of injuries related to assault in 2009 involved victims without insurance, while 25 percent were billed to Medicaid, the project found. Miles Turner's medical bills have been covered largely by insurance from his parents' jobs. But incidental costs have hit hard. Parking, for example, cost $24, twice a day, at one facility.  The shootings drove away tenants from the buildings the Turners own, which has forced them to dig into retirement savings to pay bills. Consequence of Survival Sometimes a non-fatal shooting can be a turning point that brings someone out of a dangerous lifestyle, according to Dr. Marie Crandall, a surgeon at Chicago's Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Northwestern refers injured people to CeaseFire Illinois, an anti-violence group that works to stem gang shootings and offers resources such as job skill training. "People have definitely told me, in post-op follow ups, that this injury has set them straight," Crandall said.  "It's sad, and it's an opportunity." But she sometimes sees the same people in the trauma center more than once. Even for those whose lives are not ruled by violence, a gunshot wound can change priorities.  Chicago native Andrew Holmes was shot in the leg during an attempted robbery when he was in his 20s. It took him six painful months to learn to walk again. Now 53, he said care shown by medical staff inspired him to become a community activist against violence.  "A person's life is turned all the way around," Holmes said. Miles Turner V hopes to attend the University of Miami, and learn how to make video games. His parents say he will likely enroll at a community college first.  And Illinois Governor Pat Quinn, upon learning that Miles was good with computers, has offered him a job. Miles Turner IV said he never asked God why this happened to his youngest child.  "The only thing I asked the Lord was to let my son live." But he does get angry at the young people on the streets who seem to care little about the damage bullets can do. "It destroys everything," said Turner. - Reuters, June 30, 2013.

PRK Kuala Besut bangkitkan kembali isu UG? Posted: 29 Jun 2013 04:51 PM PDT June 30, 2013 Zulkifli Sulong is a veteran journalist and the editor of HarakahDaily.net and the Bahasa Malaysia weekly Siasah. Belum cukup 60 hari berehat, Malaysia terpaksa bersedia untuk menghadapi pilihan raya lagi. Dalam masa 60 hari dari sekarang, pilihan raya kecil Kuala Besut, Terengganu akan diadakan.  Ia terpaksa diadakan ekoran kematian Adunnya, Dr. A. Rahman Mokhtar pada 26 Jun lalu. Ini adalah siri pilihan raya kecil (PRK) yang pertama selepas pilihan raya umum ke 13, 5 Mei lalu. Selepas pru ke 12 lalu, rakyat Malaysia terpaksa menghadapi 16 pilihan raya kecil. Enam peringkat Parlimen dan 10 lagi peringkat DUN.  Ia sangat memenatkan bagi mereka yang terlibat. Kerusi-kerusi yang terlibat dalam PRK selepas PRU 12 adalah Parlimen Kuala Terengganu (PAS menang), Permatang Pauh (PKR), Bukit Gantang (PAS), Hulu Selangor (BN), Sibu (DAP) dan Batu Sapi (BN). Kerusi DUN adalah Galas (PAS), Bukit Selambau (PKR), Batang Air (BN), Penanti (PKR),  Manek Urai (PAS), Permatang Pasir (PAS), Bagan Pinang (BN), Tenang (BN), Merlimau (BN), Kerdau (BN). KRITIKAL Pilihan raya kecil ini amat kritikal untuk kerajaan negeri Terengganu kerana kini BN mempunyai 17 kerusi manakala Pakatan Rakyat 15 kerusi.  Dengan kematian Dr Rahman, jumlah kerusi adalah BN 16 dan Pakatan 15. Jika Pakatan menang dalam  pilihan raya kecil ini nanti bermakna DUN Terengganu akan mempunyai bilangan ahli yang sama antara BN dan Pakatan. Jika itu berlaku, apa akan berlaku kepada kerajaan negeri Terengganu tidak dapat diramalkan. Ia adalah DUN yang tergantung. Ekoran itulah, banyaklah suara-suara nakal yang meramalkan akan berlaku UG (Unity Government) antara PAS dan Pakatan Rakyat dengan BN di Terengganu. Istilah UG sangat sensitif kepada PAS. Ini kerana di dalam PAS ada satu puak yang digelar geng-geng UG.  Ia tuduhan dilemparkan kepada kumpulan yang mahu diadakan kerjasama antara PAS dengan  Umno dalam membentuk kerajaan selepas pru 12 lalu. Pelopor golongan ini sudah tidak ada lagi dalam PAS atau tidak aktif lagi.   UG atau kerajaan perpaduan asalnya satu  gagasan baik dari Presiden PAS, Datuk Seri Tuan Guru Abdul Hadi Awang untuk meredakan kepanasan suasana politik tanah air, namun ia dijadikan isu politik dan tidak boleh dipertahankan kerana salah faham yang berlaku mengenainya. Pesuruhjaya PAS Terengganu, Mohamad Abdul Wahid Endut dalam sidang medianya selepas mesyuarat Badan Perhubungan PAS Terengganu semalam berkata, tidak mustahil PAS boleh menang dalam PRK Kuala Besut ini. Ini kerana, PAS pernah menang dua kali di kerusi itu iaitu 1969 dan 1999. Ini bermakna, PAS menunggu 30 tahun untuk menang semula kerusi itu.  Jika aturan itu sekata, PAS perlu tunggu pilihan raya 1929 untuk menang sekali lagi. Pada pilihan raya tahun 1999, PAS berjaya memenangi 26 dari 32 kerusi DUN Terengganu termasuk kerusi Kuala Besut.  Hasilnya Presiden PAS, Abdul Hadi dilantik sebagai MB Terengganu. Namun kerajaan Terengganu bertahan hanya satu penggal sahaja. Dalam pilihan raya umum 2004, PAS kalah apabila memenangi hanya enam kerusi sahaja.  Ekoran itulah, Datuk Idris Jusoh (kini Menteri Pelajaran 2) menjadi MB Terengganu. Idris adalah anggota Parlimen yang juga Ketua Umno Bahagian Besut. Selepas PRU 2008, Idris tidak lagi menjadi MB Terengganu.  Ini ekoran istana Terengganu tidak berkenan dengan beliau. Ekoran itu terpilihlah Datuk Seri Ahmad Said sebagai MB hingga sekarang. CALON Dalam PRU 1999, calon PAS Ustaz Nik Zawawi Salleh menang di DUN Kuala Besut. Selepas itu kerier politik Nik Zawawi meningkat.  Beliau kini adalah Setiausaha Majlis Syura Ulamak PAS, badan yang tertinggi dalam PAS. Namun begitu dalam PRU Mei lalu, Nik Zawawi tidak terpilih sebagai calon PAS.  Difahamkan kerana bantahan pemimpin PAS tempatan yang tidak bersetuju dengan beliau. Politik PAS sejak dahulu sentiasa panas di Besut. Ada pemimpin PAS yang dilaporkan  pernah ditumbuk kerana berusaha untuk menyelesaikan masalah politik tempatan. Sebab itulah, dalam pemilihan PAS dua tahun lalu, nama baru naik menjadi Yang Dipertua PAS kawasan.  Ustaz Wan Azhar, yang baru pulang dari Sabah dipilih menjadi YDP PAS Kawasan.   Mungkin atas faktor itulah juga calon wanita dipilih dalam pilihan raya umum lalu.  Pada Pilihan Raya Umum ke-13 (PRU13) 5 Mei lalu, calon PAS, Napisah Ismail kalah kepada Allahyarham Dr A Rahman dengan majoriti 2,434 undi. Allahyarham mendapat 8,809 manakala Napisah mendapat 6,375 undi. Kuala Besut mempunyai jumlah pengundi berdaftar seramai 17,713 orang dengan peratusan 97.9 peratus adalah Melayu, 1.6 peratus Cina dan 0.1 peratus India. Sekarang, fokus utama untuk menentukan kemenangan mana-mana parti di sini adalah calonnya. Jadi siapakah calon PAS dan Umno dalam pilihan raya umum kali ini? Bagi PAS sekurang-kurangnya senam nama disebut-sebut bakal dinamakan sebagai calon. Ini kerana, kata putus akhir terletak kepada Majlis Syura Ulama. Yang pertama adalah Setiausaha Majlis Syura sendiri yang pernah menang PRU 1999 lalu iaitu Datuk Nik zawawi Salleh.  Ini berdasarkan rekod beliau pernah menang di situ dan anak tempatan. Yang kedua adalah Napisah Ismail sendiri, bekas calon PAS di situ.  Namun kekalahan dengan majoriti 2,400 undi agak menyusahkan bagi PAS untuk memilih beliau semula.  Yang ketiga adalah Ridhuan Mohd Nor, calon PAS Parlimen Besut dalam PRU 13 lalu.  Beliau juga  Ketua Penerangan Dewan pemuda PAS Pusat.  Manakala yang keempat adalah YDP PAS Kawasan Besut, Ustaz Wan Azhar.  Walau beliau juga kalah di DUN Jertih dalam pilihan raya baru-baru ini namun nama beliau tetap popular sebagai pemimpin PAS tempatan. Turut disebut adalah Ahmad Sabki Yusof, Penolong Setiausaha Agung PAS dan juga Dr Ahmad Samsury Mokhtar, Setiausaha Politik Presiden PAS yang kedua-duanya berasal dari Besut. Difahamkan, nama Wan Azhar yang paling popular sekarang kerana rumah beliau dan keluarga adalah dalam DUN Kuala Besut walaupun bertanding di Jertih dalam PRU baru-baru ini. Beliau juga mendapat sokongan padu pelbagai golongan di Terengganu termasuk ulama. Siapa pula calon BN untuk Kuala Besut? Ia satu yang sukar untuk diteka.  Ini kerana, semua tokoh-tokohnya sudah menang dalam PRU 13 lalu. Cuma isu yang menariknya adalah samada dia orang pilihan  Ahmad Said MB Terengganu atau orang Datuk Idris Ketua Umno Kawasan Besut. PENGUNDI Kuala Besut pada asasnya adalah kampung nelayan. Di sini juga terletak jeti bot untuk ke pulau-pulau peranginan iaitu Pulau Perhentian dan Pulau Redang. Oleh itu, faktor nelayan dan industri pelancongan mewarnai pengundi di kawasan ini. Satu lagi faktor adalah kakitangan awam. Walaupun Kuala Besut bukan pusat bandar utama untuk daerah Besut kerana pusatnya terletak di Jertih tetapi hampir kesemua pejabat kerajaan negeri dan pusat untuk daerah Besut terletak di Kampung Raja iaitu pekan utama dalam DUN Kuala Besut. Ini bermakna, pengundi utama yang ada di Kuala Besut adalah nelayan, pegawai kerajaan dan mereka yang terlibat dengan industri pelancongan. Faktor sempadan dengan Kelantan juga bakal menentukan corak kempen dan isu sepanjang pilihan raya ini.  Ini kerana Kuala Besut bersempadan dengan Pasir Puteh yang terletak di Kelantan yang ditadbir oleh PAS. Perlabuhan Tok Bali kini menjadi perlabuhan nelayan yang penting di sebelah pantai timur. banyak bot-bot nelayan laut dalam yang mendaratkan tangkapan mereka di sini.   Dengan tidak langsung ia akan menjadi faktor juga dalam pilihan raya kali ini. Pendek kata, pilihan raya kecil kali ini amat penting bagi kedua-dua pihak, Umno dipihak BN dan PAS di Pakatan Rakyat.  Menang PAS bermakna DUN akan menjadi 16:16. Namun ramai beranggapan, amat sukar untuk PAS menang.  Tetapi sebagaimana kata Wahid, peluang PAS untuk menang tetap ada jika kena dengan  calon dan strateginya serta usaha kuat dari petugasnya. - 30 Jun, 2013. * Ini adalah pendapat peribadi penulis dan tidak semestinya mewakili pandangan The Malaysian Insider.

Jalan utama Sibu ke Miri akan menjadi lebuh raya sepenuhnya menjelang 2015 Posted: 30 Jun 2013 02:47 AM PDT June 30, 2013 Jalan dua hala Pan-Borneo sepanjang 400 kilometer yang merupakan jalan utama antara Sibu, Bintulu dan Miri di Sarawak akan dinaik taraf menjadi lebuh raya sepenuhnya menjelang 2015. Menteri Kerja Raya Datuk Fadillah Yusof berkata keutamaan diberi kepada jalan itu berikutan pelaksanaan Koridor Tenaga Diperbahru Sarawak (Score) yang dijangka membawa kesan positif terhadap ekonomi di kawasan itu. "Memandangkan beberapa bahagian jalan itu telah dinaiktaraf, Insya-Allah ia (kerja menaik taraf) boleh disiapkan dalam tempoh dua hingga tiga tahun," katanya kepada pemberita selepas merasmikan mesyuarat agung tahunan Persatuan Kontraktor Malayu Malaysia (PKMM) cawangan Sarawak di sini hari ini. Beliau berkata tumpuan selepas ini ialah menaiktaraf jalan antara Serian dan Betong melibatkan laluan kira-kira 186 kilometer. "Sudah pasti, berdasarkan manifesto (pilihan raya umum ke-13 Barisan Nasional) kami akan melaksanakannya dalam tampoh lima tahun akan datang, dan pelaksanaannya dibuat secara berperingkat," katanya. Beliau berkata permohonan peruntukan daripada kerajaan negeri Sarawak untuk projek lebuh raya itu kini berada di Unit Perancang Ekonomi Jabatan Perdana Menteri untuk kelulusan. -Bernama, 30 Jun, 2013.

RCI untuk siasatan insiden Lahad Datu boleh ditubuhkan - Hishammuddin Posted: 30 Jun 2013 02:14 AM PDT June 30, 2013 Suruhanjaya Siasatan Diraja (RCI) untuk menyiasat dakwaan ada pihak yang menjadi dalang di sebalik insiden pencerobohan di Lahad Datu, Sabah boleh ditubuhkan, kata Menteri Pertahanan Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein. Namun, katanya siasatan yang dijalankan suruhanjaya itu tidak harus mengganggu atau menjejaskan siasatan insiden itu oleh pihak berkuasa. "Saya sokong cadangan menubuhkan RCI sekiranya orang ramai ingin tahu apa yang sebenarnya terjadi di Lahad Datu. "Saya tidak mahu ada orang yang tidak berdosa dituduh dan tidak mahu dalang yang terlibat ke luar negara," katanya kepada pemberita selepas merasmikan Mesyuarat Agung Koperasi Tentera yang ke-48 di Kem Sungai Buloh di sini, hari ini. Sebelum ini, banyak pihak termasuk bekas Perdana Menteri Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad meminta kerajaan menubuhkan RCI bagi membongkar dalang insiden pencerobohan di Lahad Datu. Berhubung tiga dalang yang didakwa terbabit dalam insiden Lahad Datu, Hishammuddin berkata pihaknya masih menjalankan siasatan. Beliau berkata Naib Presiden PKR Tian Chua tidak berhak menggesa kerajaan mendedahkan tiga dalang insiden itu setelah memperlekehkan anggota pasukan keselamatan negara yang terkorban dalam kejadian itu. Hishammuddin menegaskan kejadian itu amat serius sehingga kerajaan menubuhkan Zon Selamat Sabah Timur (Esszone) dan Kawasan Keselamatan Khas Pantai Timur Sabah (Esscom). "Oleh itu, dia (Tian Chua) tidak berhak menggesa kerajaan kerana dia telah buat kenyataan yang tidak bertanggungjawab yang telah menyinggung anggota keluarga tentera dan Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) yang terkorban kerana insiden itu," katanya. Pada 27 Jun lepas, Tian Chua yang juga Anggota Parlimen PKR bagi kawasan Batu berkata kerajaan perlu mengambil tindakan tegas dan cepat untuk mendedahkan dalang insiden pencerobohan itu bagi membolehkan pendakwaan segera dilakukan ke atas individu terbabit.  Insiden penceroboh pengganas selatan Filipina itu menggemparkan negara setelah mereka menduduki kawasan perkampungan di Lahad Datu pada 12 Feb lepas dan kerajaan melancarkan Operasi Daulat pada 5 Mac dalam mempertahankan kedaulatan negara. Lapan anggota polis dan dua tentera terkorban dalam Operasi Daulat manakala 68 pengganas ditembak mati. -Bernama, 30 Jun, 2013.
