Pak Long- Selagi Ada Rindu~

A mockery of Judge...hehehe

A prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman, to the stand. He approached her and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?"

She responded, "Why, yes, I do know you Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a young boy. And frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a rising big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you."

The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Williams, do you know the defense attorney?"

She again replied, "Why, yes I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. I used to baby-sit him for his parents. And he, too, has been a real disappointment to me. He's lazy, bigoted, he has a drinking problem. The man can't build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the shoddiest in the entire state. Yes, I know him."

At this point, the judge rapped the courtroom to silence and called both counselors to the bench. In a very quiet voice, he said with menace, "If either of you asks her if she knows me, you'll be jailed for contempt!"

Can a Muslim lawyer defend a "guilty" client?

-by hijaupadi-

Listed below are few situations which might raise the question as stated above:-

a) A client who has been charged for robbery

b) Three Non-Muslims who has been charged for gang-rape where the victim was a female Muslim.

c) A client who has been charged for murder and more important, he confesses that he committed the murder before you!!!

In accordance to the abovesaid situations, can a Muslim lawyer defend such clients?

It is a non arguable and had become an agreed fact that as soon as you graduated from the Garden of Knowledge and Virtue or other universities as well and holding a degree in Law, like it or not you will be facing or being asked by the society or even your parent this crucial question over and over again. Or to make it worse, you yourself will ask this question. Therefore, it is important for us to understand the whole concept of Justice particularly from the eyes of Islamic Law. Having said so, I have no doubt and believe that from a feminist law-student or Muslim-counsel point of views, they might refuse to defend the abovesaid clients particularly to the second gang-rape situation since the alleged criminals are Non-Muslims and the victim is a female and most important she is a Muslim. However, I am pretty sure that the situation will be different after they (including us) understood the whole concept of Justice.

Thus, let us focus and understand this issue from the Islamic Shariah of Law point of view. In Islamic Law, the principle in dealing with the issue of allegation is that “He who alleges has to prove it. This principle had been derived from one of the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad SAW which he says that “ Al-Bayyinah a’la al-Mudda’I, wal yamin a’la man Ankara”. For easier understanding, a person who alleges another person of committing a crime or an offence, that person must prove and brings his witnesses and evidences so as to support and corroborate his allegation against the alleged person. In current civil litigation system, the principle that had been laid down by the Shariah is now had been statutorily embodied. It is now the main duty and responsibility on the prosecution side to establish a prima facie case and beyond reasonable doubt whereas a defense counsel’s responsibility is to appear on behalf of the accused to prove otherwise and to demolish prosecution’s case. (Please be noted that it is UNFAIR for the accused to defend himself since he does not possess sufficient legal knowledge regarding both substantial and procedural part of law. Thus,it is a shame on legal profession if anyone appears on court unrepresented)


”How can you defend such a client since you know he is guilty?” asked by Mak Minah to Zaiton (IIUM LLB and LLB(S) Degree holder.

In answering this kind of tricky question, one must be composed and answer it with wisdom, not emotion. Your answer will definitely reflect your personality. Thus, tell them that we never know that he is guilty or not. We will be only convinced that a person is guilty or not ONLY if we were at the crime scene and saw every second, every part of the commission of such act. Therefore if we are not there to witness and see clearly what had happened and how the crime is committed, then it is not safe for us to say that a person is guilty eventhough that person had confessed before us that he actually had committed the crime. In fact, it might be that person is just unluckily caught in a situation which might make him seems like a guilty person.

As far as a reasonable human-creature is concerned, we might form our own opinion on a particular alleged offence that had said to be committed by an alleged person. Our opinion might be wrong and totally irrelevant since we might only heard what had happened from one side only without hearing to the other side. Our perception and opinion on his liability arise from our own opinion only. One must be noted that there is an enormous and huge different between opinion and knowledge. A lawyer is needed for advocacy, not for judgment. It must be emphasized that it is not the lawyer’s duty to make judgment. And that is why, a judge is needed to hear from both side and give his best to uphold justice.

The abovesaid explanation is totally in-line with what Rasulullah SAW had teaches us when the Prophet sent Saidina Ali R.A to be a judge in Yaman. It has been narrated that Rasulullah SAW in his noble reminders to Saidina Ali R.A which he said:

“When any litigant comes before you, listen to the second as you listen to the first one”.

This Hadith postulates and teaches us on how a proper conduct of a trial should be and procedure in dealing with cases in Court. It must be remembered that everybody who involve in the process of justice especially the judge or the magistrate must keep their free-mind throughout the trial and avoid from making any presumption or opinion until both sides had been heard. After the completion of the trial, it is the duty of the judge to make a fair decision without fear and favor guided with witnesses’ evidences particularly to the strength of prosecution’s evidences. A lawyer must keep in their minds to the basic legal maxim that ‘A Person is innocent until proven guilty’. Moving from that premise, it must be noted that a person is to be proved his guilty in the court, NOT in the lawyer’s room.

It is now safe to conclude that if you are defending someone who is innocent and not yet being proved to be guilty in the Court, so you will not be accountable before Allah S.W.T, InsyaAllah. After all, Allah is there and we have done our best in doing a proper trial and to achieve justice. In the Prophet Yusuf’s case, what we can infer from the situation faced by Prophet Yusuf is that Allah knows better on what had happened. Allah had sent him into the prison even though he was not guilty which later proved to be beneficial to him since Allah knows best. Allah looks at how the process is done, whether it is done with integrity or vice versa notwithstanding of its outcome. After all, Allah knows best =)).

*Lesson of the day “ It is better to allow 10 guilty person to be released other than rendering one innocent person to be convicted”-Biar tersalah ampun, Jangan tersalah hukum!”

Perjalanan Terakhir As-Syahid Mahmoud al-Mabhouh , Komander Hamas

GAMBAR rakaman kamera litar tertutup menunjukkan Mahmoud (dalam bulatan) diekori oleh dua pembunuhnya di Hotel Al Bustan Rotana, Dubai pada Januari lalu.

NEW YORK – Seperti filem di Hollywood mengenai kisah pembunuhan.Akhbar New York Post kelmarin menyenaraikan cara satu skuad pembunuhan membunuh seorang komander Hamas, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh di sebuah hotel mewah di Dubai, Emiriyah Arab Bersatu (UAE) pada Januari lalu.

Skuad pembunuhan itu sebelum ini dikaitkan dengan agensi perisikan Mossad milik Israel. Menurut akhbar itu, Mahmoud yang dilahirkan di Kem Jabalia di Genting Gaza pada 1960 pernah menculik dan membunuh dua askar Israel pada 1989 di Palestin. Selepas pembunuhan itu diketahui oleh umum, Israel berikrar akan membalas dendam manakala Mahmoud melarikan diri tetapi dia tidak keluar daripada pergerakan Hamas. Mahmoud kemudiannya dilaporkan menyeludup senjata api dan bahan letupan kembali ke Gaza dari Syria yang merupakan tempat tinggalnya yang baru.

Lebih 20 tahun lalu, dia membantu Hamas mendapatkan peluru peluru berpandu buatan Iran yang mampu terbang ke negara-negara jirannya. Komander Hamas itu hampir dapat ditangkap Israel tetapi dia berjaya menyeludup masuk ke Syria. Namun, pihak perisikan Israel kemudiannya mendapat maklumat bahawa Mahmoud akan berada di Dubai pada bulan lalu untuk membeli senjata api dari penjual senjata Iran. Komander Hamas itu kemudian menempah penerbangan menerusi Internet. Apabila Mahmoud tiba di Dubai, dia menghubungi isterinya dan memberitahu lokasi tempat tinggalnya. Beberapa pegawai Hamas mengaku tindakan Mahmoud menghubungi isteri itu mendedahkan dia pada bahaya. Ia merupakan waktu terbaik untuk melakukan serangan.

Berdasarkan bukti yang ditemui menerusi rakaman kamera litar tertutup (CCTV) dan pasport yang dipalsukan, pihak berkuasa Dubai memutuskan bahawa terdapat satu skuad elit membunuh Mahmoud. Skuad pembunuh yang didakwa pihak berkuasa Dubai seramai 17 orang termasuk seorang wanita menggunakan muslihat dan taktik yang biasanya dapat dilihat dalam novel-novel tulisan bekas diplomat Amerika Syarikat (AS), Jason Bourne. Ketua Polis Dubai, Dahi Khalfan Tamim percaya 99 peratus bahawa Mossad merupakan dalang pembunuhan Mahmoud. Walaupun mendapat kritikan antarabangsa, Israel tidak mengesahkan atau menafikan melakukan operasi membunuh Mahmoud.

Apa yang diketahui ialah satu pasukan yang mendapat latihan tinggi memasuki Dubai untuk melakukan operasi itu yang berlanjutan selama 10 jam. Operasi itu bermula lewat malam pada 19 Januari lalu. Menjejaki komander Hamas itu bermula apabila dua ejen lelaki berlepas ke Dubai dengan membawa pasport yang mengisytiharkan namanya sebagai Michael Bodenheimer dan James Leonard Clarke iaitu masing-masing dari Jerman dan Britain. Tidak lama kemudian, sebuah lagi pesawat yang membawa seorang wanita kurus lampai berumur dalam lingkungan 30-an, memakai cermin mata dan mendakwa dari Ireland dengan menggunakan nama Gail Folliard tiba. Wanita itu terbang dari Paris dengan seorang lelaki Ireland, Kevin Daveron berdasarkan nama pada pasport palsu. Kamera pemantauan Dubai merakamkan imej empat orang berkumpul di sebuah lapangan terbang di bandar raya itu.
Mereka kemudian berpecah.



Suspek: (Ata-Dari kiri)Evan Dennings (Irish), Gail Folliard (Irish), James Leonard Clarke (British), Jonathan Louis Graham (British); (Tengah dari kiri)) Michael Bodenheimer of (German), Paul John Keeley (British), Michael Lawrence Barney (British); (Bawah Dari kiri) Peter Elvinger (French), Kevin Daveron (Irish), Melvyn Adam Mildiner (British), Stephen Daniel Hodes (British).

Wanita kurus lampai itu mendaftar masuk ke hotel Al Bustan Rotana yang didiami komander Hamas tersebut. Tidak lama kemudian, seorang lelaki yang menggelarkan dirinya, Peter Elvinger mendakwa dari Perancis melakukan perbuatan sama dengan wanita berkenaan. Dia mendaftar di bilik 237 tidak jauh dari bilik Mahmoud. Dua lagi ejen yang dapat dilihat pada kamera CCTV itu menuju ke sebuah hotel lain.Pada keesokan harinya, terdapat 17 orang dari pasukan pembunuh berada di Dubai dengan menggunakan pasport palsu. Mangsa mereka ialah Mahmoud. Kamera litar tertutup menunjukkan komander Hamas itu mengembara seorang diri yang dianggap sebagai pilihan yang mencetuskan tanda tanya bagi seorang lelaki sepertinya yang mempunyai beberapa pengawal peribadi dan mengetahui dia berada dalam senarai orang dikehendaki Israel.

Menurut akhbar Daily Mail, Mahmoud yang tiba di Dubai diekori oleh satu pasukan peninjau itu yang dibantu dengan alat pengesan diletakkan di kereta sewanya. Dia antara anggota pasukan itu ialah Daveron yang menggunakan rambut palsu untuk menyembunyikan kepalanya yang botak. Di hotel tersebut, wanita yang kurus lampai itu menunggu di lobi. Dia menghabiskan masa pada waktu pagi dengan membeli-belah di kedai mewah, bermain cinta dengan kerani hotel dan melihat pintu depan hotel. Pembunuh itu tidak bercakap antara satu sama lain secara terus. Menurut akhbar-akhbar Israel, mereka berkomunikasi dengan menggunakan telefon bimbit yang perbualannya tidak dapat dikesan. Apabila Mahmoud mendaftar masuk ke hotel al Bustan, Daveron dan wanita kurus lampai itu berundur dan dua lagi ejen muncul. Kamera CCTV menunjukkan dua lelaki berambut hitam mengekori komander Hamas itu semasa dia berjalan ke lif. Dengan membawa raket tenis, seluar pendek, baju T dan kasut sukan dengan stoking putih, lelaki-lelaki tersebut tidak mencetuskan syak wasangka Mahmoud.

Pada pukul 8 malam, semasa Mahmoud berada di dalam bilik hotel, skuad pembunuh itu bersedia untuk bertindak. Wanita kurus lampai itu dilihat tersenyum menerusi kamera CCTV dengan memakai rambut palsu membuat tinjauan terakhir di depan bilik Mahmoud. Dia kemudian menghilangkan diri. Empat orang lelaki muda yang mengembara dalam dua kumpulan pergi ke bilik komander Hamas itu. Namun yang mencetuskan misteri ialah bagaimana ejen-ejen itu memasuki bilik Mahmoud dan apakah yang terjadi pada pintu bilik komander Hamas tersebut.Itu yang menyebabkan pihak berkuasa Dubai kehairanan. Adakah lelaki itu mengetuk dan berpura-pura seperti kakitangan hotel? Atau adakah sebagai suspek mereka memasuki bilik itu dengan menggunakan gajet perisikan yang canggih? Beberapa minit selepas pukul lapan malam, mereka sudah memasuki bilik Mahmoud. Empat puluh minit kemudian, komander Hamas itu ditemui mati. Ejen-ejen itu meletakkan lampu meja tidur berjauhan dan menggantungkan wayar itu pada satu gajet yang membunuh Mahmoud dengan kejutan elektrik.

Beberapa penyiasat percaya anggota-anggota skuad pembunuh itu cuba untuk mewujudkan seperti serangan jantung sebelum melemaskannya dengan menggunakan bantal. Terdapat kesan terbakar pada dadanya. Pada pukul 8.46 malam empat pembunuhnya dengan tenang keluar dari biliknya dan skuad pembunuh itu berkumpul semula di sebuah lif selain meletakkan tanda jangan ganggu di depan bilik Mahmoud. Empat orang daripada skuad itu meninggalkan hotel tersebut selang beberapa minit dengan memakai pakaian seperti mereka mahu pergi bermain golf. Wanita tinggi lampai itu dan baki pasukan pembunuh itu keluar dari Dubai dalam tempoh dua jam dengan menuju ke distinasi berlainan serta menaiki penerbangan berbeza.

Kakitangan hotel kemudian menemui mayat Mahmoud pada waktu pagi. Apa yang anehnya ialah, bilik dikunci dari dalam. Pihak berkuasa Dubai masih memikirkan bagaimana pembunuh tersebut mendapat kad kredit berpangkalan di AS untuk membiayai operasi pembunuhan tersebut. Namun, terdapat spekulasi bahawa wujud seorang lagi pembunuh yang memanjat bilik Mahmoud dan keluar dari biliknya. Bekas penganalisis Asia Barat untuk Jabatan Pertahanan AS, Graeme Bannerman menyatakan terdapat kemungkinan pembunuh itu tidak mengetahui bahawa di Dubai, terdapat kamera litar tertutup yang merakamkan setiap geri mereka.

Secara faktanya, pembunuh itu dianggap amatur kerana gambar mereka dirakamkan oleh kamera litar tertutup sehingga menyebabkan ada tanggapan bahawa Israel dianiayai oleh sebuah saingan perisikan yang mahu pembunuhan Mahmoud dipersalahkan ke atas Mossad. “Orang ramai boleh berkata bahawa ia bukannya profesional seperti dikendalikan Mossad kerana pada kebiasaannya tidak ada kesan ditinggalkan oleh agensi perisikan itu. “Namun, apa yang pasti keberkesanan (operasi bunuh itu) telah diperkatakan,” kata Bannerman. “Pada masa ini, dengan terdapat kamera pemantauan, suasana tidak seperti pada 30 tahun lalu.
“Ia sukar untuk melakukan (pembunuhan) pada zaman kini.
“Namun, di Israel, tidak ada sesiapa pun yang mempersoalkan ia (pembunuhan) itu telah dilakukan oleh Mossad,” tambahnya.

Pada perkembangan terbaru, Menteri Luar Israel, Avigdor Lieberman kini sedang berunding dengan beberapa pegawai di Eropah bagi meyakinkan bahawa negaranya tidak mempunyai kaitan dengan penggunaan pasport palsu oleh pembunuh Mahmoud. Pembunuh komander Hamas itu memasuki Dubai dengan menggunakan pasport Britain, Ireland, Perancis dan Jerman. –

mai kita belajaq undang-undang (1)-lesen&insurans

-by hijaupadi-

Situasi:

“Seorang lelaki telah dihadapkan di Mahkamah Majistret dibawah dua tuduhan iaitu (i) pada 6 Februari 1995 lebih kurang 5.30 petang di Jalan Bukit Zimbabwe sebagai pemandu kereta XYZ1234 telah "tiada lesen memandu" dan (ii) "telah tiada Policy Insurans". Kesalahan pertama adalah di bawah s. 26(1) Akta Pengangkutan Jalan (Road Transport Act) 1987 dan yang kedua di bawah s. 90(1) .

Hukuman terhad dibawah (i) s. 26(2) "to a fine not exceeding RM1,000 or to imprisonment ... not exceeding three months or to both ..." dan (ii) s. 90(2) "to a fine not exceeding RM1,000 or to both" dan untuk kesalahan kedua juga "disqualified from holding or obtaining a driving licence under Part II for a period of 12 months from date of conviction."

Pada 8 Mac 1995, lelaki itu telah mengaku salah terhadap kes saman trafik yang tersebut di atas.

Tuan Majistret telah menjatuhkan hukuman denda RM200 jika tidak bayar 3 hari penjara bagi kesalahan pertama di bawah s. 26(1) Akta Pengangkutan Jalan dan denda RM200 jika tidak bayar 3 hari penjara bagi kesalahan kedua di bawah s. 90(2) Akta yang sama . Mahkamah juga telah menggantung lesen Kelas 'D' lelaki itu selama setahun. ”

Mai kita tengok sapa yg kena;

Kebiasaannya, apabila seorang pemandu ditanya mengenai lesennya, sungguh pun dia telah dilesenkan, jawapannya ialah "saya tak ada lesen." Ini sering terjadi apabila dia terlupa membawa lesennya bersama. Dari segi fizikal, jawapan itu memang benar kerana lesen tidak bersamanya pada waktu itu. Tetapi dari segi undang-undang keadaan mungkin bukan serupa iaitu pemandu itu dilesenkan cuma dia lupa bawa lesen ketika itu.

Yang sepatutnya pegawai saman itu lebih elok jika bertanya "Adakah tuan/puan telah dilesenkan untuk memandu ... ?" Jika ya, "di mana lesen tersebut?" Dan dari itu penyelidikan dapat dijalankan untuk menentukan sama ada lesen itu masih hidup atau sudah luput.

Majistret juga mesti bertanya kepada orang kena saman (OKS) di di dalam Mahkamah soalan seperti ini: "Adakah anda telah dilesenkan untuk memandu ..." (Have you been licensed to drive?). Jika pegawai polis/JPJ atau Majistret telah menjalankan siasatan atau pertanyaan yang disebut di atas maka kekeliruan tidak akan timbul dan OKS akan mendapat keadilan yang sepatutnya.

Jika pada awalnya didapati bahawa OKS telah "dilesenkan" (licensed to drive) maka pertuduhan sesuai dipinda ke s. 58(2) :

Any person in charge of a motor vehicle on a road shall, on being so required by any police officer, any traffic warden or any road transport officer having reason to believe that he has committed any offence under this Act , produce his driving license for inspection by such officer.

If any person fails to comply with this section, he shall be guilty of an offence.

dan boleh dihukum bawah s. 119(1)/119(2) APJ:

Any person who is guilty of an offence under this Act shall, where no special penalty is provided, be liable in the case of a first conviction, to a fine not exceeding one thousand ringgit or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months and, in the case of a second or subsequent conviction, to a fine not exceeding two thousand ringgit or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to both.

Jika seseorang itu telah atau masih dilesen untuk memandu kenderaan, ini dengan serta merta bermakna bahawa kesalahan di bawah s. 90(1) tidak berlaku.

Kesalahan di bawah s. 90(1) adalah serius oleh kerana:

... if an innocent road user is knocked down and injured or killed, he and/or his dependants may have no means of recovering from the uninsured driver any loss or damage he and/ or they may have suffered or sustained

per Chong Siew Fai J (as he then was) in Public Prosecutor v. Hiew Chin Fong [1988] 1 MLJ 467.

Untuk renungan kita bersama adakah insurans kereta dengan tiba-tiba dimentaksahkan (immediately becomes invalidated) jika kereta itu dipandu oleh seorang yang lesennya telah tamat tempohnya? Kes Josephine Yii Chui Leng v. Public Prosecutor [1973] 1 LNS 58 telah memutuskan bahawa:

... taking into account the evidence of the insurance company's representative, ... she (the appellant there) ... was in fact still covered by the insurance policy

sungguhpun pada waktu dia memandu kereta tersebut dia cuma miliki "expired driving license". Sila lihat juga Public Prosecutor v. Albert See [1970] 1 LNS 109 dan Edwards v. Griffiths [1953] 1 WLR 1199. Ini lagi satu alasan yang seorang pemandu dengan lesen yang luput tidak semestinya kehilangan perlindungan insurans.

Pregnant man gives birth to baby girl

Thomas Beatie had the baby in a natural birth at a hospital.

The pregnant man who conceived a child after a gender-reassignment operation has apparently given birth to a healthy baby girl.

“She’s really cute, really pretty,” a source told ABC News.

Thomas Beatie, 34, told People magazine that he had given birth at a hospital in Bend, Oregon on Sunday. “The only thing different about me is that I can’t breastfeed my baby. But a lot of mothers don’t,” he said, adding that he planned to publish a book about the experience this autumn.

The bearded Mr Beatie was born a girl and named Tracy Lagondino, but had gender-reassignment surgery and is now legally male and married to Nancy. The couple, together for ten years, run a custom screenprinting business in Bend.

He decided to get pregnant because his wife had had a hysterectomy. He was able to conceive because he kept his female organs when he switched genders.

To conceive, Mr Beatie stopped the bimonthly testosterone injections he was receiving as part of his sex change.

The couple bought anonymous donor vials from a sperm bank and, struggling to find a doctor willing to help them, resorted to home insemination with a syringe bought from a vet that is typically used to feed birds.

“I actually opted not to do anything to my reproductive organs because I wanted to have a child one day. I see pregnancy as a process and it doesn’t define who I am,” Mr Beatie told the TV talk-show host Oprah Winfrey in April. “I feel it’s not a male or female desire to have a child. It’s a human need. I’m a person and I have the right to have a biological child,” he said.

Mr Beatie caused a sensation when he went public with his pregnancy in Advocate, a gay magazine. He posed holding his bulging naked stomach for a photograph reminiscent of Demi Moore’s headline-grabbing 1991 cover photo for Vanity Fair. “How does it feel to be a pregnant man? Incredible,” he wrote. “I will be my daughter’s father, and Nancy will be her mother. We will be a family,” he said.

A cameraman for the TMZ website filmed him leaving the hospital in a hooded sweatshirt, without a bulging stomach. In his Advocate article, Mr Beatie recounted the struggles he faced to have a child.

“Doctors have discriminated against us, turning us away due to their religious beliefs. Health care professionals have refused to call me by a male pronoun or recognise Nancy as my wife. Receptionists have laughed at us. Friends and family have been unsupportive; most of Nancy’s family doesn’t even know I’m transgender,” he said. His first successful insemination ended in a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy with triplets, resulting in the loss of all his embryos and his right Fallopian tube. “When my brother found out about my loss, he said, ‘It’s a good thing that happened. Who knows what kind of monster it would have been?,” he wrote.

Mr Beatie has said he may have more children, once he has experienced fatherhood.

Pesawah alami kerugian sebab kena bom

PENDANG 2 Feb. - Hati mana yang tidak sedih apabila melihat hasil padi yang dituai langsung tidak setimpal dengan keringat yang telah diperah setiap hari.

Jika musim lalu, kira-kira 600 hektar sawah padi di kawasan Kampung Bukit Raya Dalam di sini tenggelam akibat banjir, kini pesawah di kawasan tersebut menghadapi cabaran lain pula.

Hampir seribu pesawah di kawasan itu bimbang apabila sawah padi milik mereka diserang 'bom' yang boleh membuatkan mereka kerugian sehingga ratusan ribu ringgit pada musim penuaian kali ini.

'Bom' atau bena perang adalah sejenis makhluk perosak tanaman padi yang amat ditakuti oleh pesawah.

Ini kerana hasil padi boleh berkurangan secara mendadak kerana makhluk perosak ini mampu memusnahkan padi dalam tempoh yang singkat.

Bena perang dewasa merosakkan pokok padi dengan menghisap cecair di dalam pokok padi dan menyebabkan pembesarannya terbantut.

Seorang pesawah, Mohd.Rodzi Ishak, 46, berkata, para pesawah di kawasan ini amat berharap pihak Lembaga Kemajuan Pertanian Muda (MADA) dapat membantu petani dengan memberi racun untuk menghapuskan serangga perosak tersebut.

"Racun untuk menghapuskan 'bom' ini mahal iaitu kira-kira RM200 untuk satu liter.

"Satu liter racun hanya boleh digunakan untuk 20 relung (kira-kira enam hektar) dan kami para pesawah tidak mampu untuk menanggung kos tersebut," ujarnya ketika ditemui di sini baru-baru ini.

Jelasnya, berikutan masalah itu, hasil tuaian padi para pesawah di kawasan ini berkurangan sehingga 70 peratus.

"Selalunya dalam satu relung (kira-kira 0.3 hektar) hasil tuaian padi boleh mencapai sehingga tiga tan namun apabila pokok padi diserang bena perang ini hasilnya hanya satu tan sahaja.

"Sudahlah musim lalu padi kami musnah akibat banjir, kini pokok padi diserang bena perang pula," katanya.

Seorang lagi pesawah, Saad Said, 33, berkata, dia baru sahaja menuai padi namun hasil tuaiannya amat mengecewakan.

"Dalam 20 relung (kira-kira enam hektar) kalau musim baik saya boleh dapat sehingga 40 tan namun kali ini akibat diserang bena perang hasil padi saya hanya sebanyak 20 tan.

"Sukar bagi kami jika masalah bena perang ini berterusan dan kami berharap pihak MADA boleh membantu kami," ujarnya.
