Kuala Lumpur (ANTARA News) - Polisi menyatakan sedang menyelidiki ketua koalisi partai oposisi Pakatan Harapan (Harapan) Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, yang dituduh menyebarkan berita palsu berkenaan dengan kejadian pada saat dia berangkat ke daerah pemilihan di Langkawi, Negara Bagian Kedah, menurut siaran media setempat pada Kamis, mengutip keterangan dari Ketua Polisi Kuala Lumpur Datuk Seri Mazlan Lazim.
Pada 27 April 2018 Mahathir Mohamad tidak bisa berangkat dari Lapangan Terbang Subang setelah ban pesawat sewa yang semestinya dia naiki bocor. Politikus Partai Melayu Pribumi Bersatu (PMBM) itu kemudian berangkat menggunakan pesawat lain dengan bantuan seorang kawan.
Setibanya di Langkawi, dia menyatakan pesawat yang dia sewa disabotase untuk menghalangi dia menghadiri penamaan calon atau pendaftaran anggota parlemen esok harinya. Dalam pendaftaran parlemen Mahathir terdaftar di P4 Langkawi, Negara Bagian Kedah.
Mazlan mengatakan masalah tersebut merupakan salah satu dari delapan laporan polisi yang dibuat sepanjang tempo kampanye Pemilu (PRU) ke-14 sejauh ini.
"Bagi kasus yang diselidiki di bawah Akta Antiberita Tidak Benar melibatkan kasus mengenai dakwaan Tun Mahathir berkenaan isu sabotase jet yang sepatutnya menerbangkan dia ke Langkawi pada Jumat lalu," katanya.
Mahathir diselidiki menurut Akta Antiberita Tidak benar (Anti Fake News Act 2018), yang mengancam pelanggarnya dengan hukuman penjara hingga enam tahun atau denda RM500.000 atau kedua-duanya sekaligus.

Khairisa Ferida 04 Mei 2018, 19:40 WIB
Liputan6.com, Singapura - Penerbangan yang menghubungkan Singapura dan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, merupakan rute internasional tersibuk di dunia.
Seperti dilansir BBC, Jumat (4/5/2018), perusahaan analisis penerbangan OAG menyebutkan, terjadi 30.537 perjalanan antara dua bandara selama periode Maret 2017-Februari 2018. Itu berarti rata-rata per hari terdapat 84 penerbangan di rute ini.
Kesibukan rute Singapura dan Kuala Lumpur melampau rute Hong Kong-Taipei dalam daftar yang didominasi oleh destinasi Asia. Sementara itu, dikutip dari situs resmi OAG, rute Jakarta-Singapura berada pada urutan ketiga dengan jumlah penerbangan 27.304.
Waktu tempuh penerbangan antara Singapura dan Kuala Lumpur sekitar satu jam, dan ada rencana untuk membangun rel kereta api berkecepatan tinggi yang menghubungkan kedua negara.
Rute penerbangan Singapura-Kuala Lumpur dioperasikan oleh sejumlah operator berbujet rendah seperti Scoot, Jetstar, Air Asia, dan Malindo Air serta tentu saja dua maskapai utama masing-masing negara, Singapore Airlines dan Malaysia Airlines.

Warga Malaysia di Singapura bersiap sedia pulang ke tanah air untuk mengundi

MESKIPUN hari mengundi bagi Pilihan Raya Umum ke-14 (PRU14) Malaysia jatuh pada hari Rabu (9 Mei), beberapa warga Malaysia yang bekerja di Singapura tetap akan pulang ke tanah air mereka kerana merasa ia tanggungjawab mereka untuk mengundi.
Misalnya, Encik Tee Yi Cong, 26 tahun, akan pulang ke Muar – sekitar tiga jam perjalanan dari Singapura – Selasa ini untuk mengundi pada keesokan harinya.
Ini merupakan kali pertama beliau akan mengundi kerana Encik Tee menyambut ulang tahunnya yang ke-21 selepas Pilihan Raya Umum Malaysia yang lalu pada 2013.
Akhbar The Sunday Times melaporkan bahawa Encik Tee, seorang jurutera, percaya ini merupakan pilihan raya yang penting dan beliau berharap Malaysia akan mempunyai masa depan yang lebih baik.
Oleh itu, beliau berkata ia adalah tanggungjawab rakyat untuk memilih parti politik yang mereka yakin boleh membantu mencapai masa depan lebih baik itu.
Bagi Cik Stephant Song, 42 tahun, yang merupakan pengurus operasi dalam industri makanan dan minuman (F&B) pula, beliau akan mengambil cuti sehari untuk pulang mengundi di Melaka.
Encik Tee dan Cik Song adalah antara lebih 400,000 warga Malaysia yang tinggal dan bekerja di Singapura.
Warga Malaysia yang tinggal di Singapura, selatan Thailand dan Kalimantan di Indonesia tidak dibenarkan mengundi menerusi pos.
Mereka harus pulang ke Malaysia untuk mengundi pada hari mengundi.
Sebelum ini, ketua pembangkang Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad telah mengkritik Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) kerana memilih untuk menetapkan hari mengundi pada hari Rabu kerana ini akan menyebabkan warga Malaysia yang bekerja di Singapura sukar untuk mengundi.
Malaysia telah mengisytiharkan hari Rabu sebagai cuti umum tetapi mereka yang bekerja di luar negara tetap harus mengambil cuti jika mereka ingin pulang ke negara itu untuk mengundi.
Sementara beberapa syarikat di Singapura seperti Ikea dan firma perhubungan awam Gloo PR telah memberi cuti kepada pekerja Malaysia mereka untuk pulang mengundi, sesetengah syarikat di sini pula memerlukan pekerja mereka mengambil cuti sendiri.
Sebagai contoh, National Healthcare Group (NHG) berkata kelulusan cuti akan diberi bergantung pada keperluan operasi.
Firma keselamatan Aetos pula berkata mereka telah membenarkan kesemua 400 pekerja Malaysia syarikat itu untuk pulang mengundi dan telah membuat aturan perjadualan bagi mengurangkan kesan pada khidmat yang ditawarkannya.
Namun, sesetengah warga Malaysia di sini tidak dapat pulang.
Kapten bas, Encik Liew Chin Hong, 27 tahun, berkata beliau tidak dapat mengambil cuti kerana ramai rakan kerjanya yang juga merupakan warga Malaysia akan pulang ke tanah air mereka untuk mengundi.
Encik Liew memerlukan sekurang-kurangnya tiga hari cuti kerana perjalanan pulang ke kampung halamannya di Kampung Kerling, Selangor, memakan masa satu hari.
Dalam pada itu, Jabatan Imigresen Malaysia berkata mereka akan mengerahkan 350 pegawai untuk bekerja semasa pilihan raya bagi memastikan semua kaunter dibuka di kedua-dua pusat pemeriksaan di Johor.
Bagaimanapun, kesesakan lalu lintas tetap boleh dijangkakan.

Malaysia's Anwar joins with former persecutor for election
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) -- Malaysian opposition icon Anwar Ibrahim can't vote in what he believes will be a "defining election" for his country on Wednesday but even from his prison cell has remained a political force to be reckoned with.
The firebrand politician's conviction in 2015 for what he and his supporters said were false allegations of sodomy fractured the alliance of opposition parties that under Anwar's leadership was threatening the ruling National Front's decades-long hold on power.
It was Anwar's second spell in prison and it seemed he'd finally been done in by dirty political tactics. Once a high flyer in the ruling party, in 1998 he was convicted of homosexual sodomy — a criminal offense in Muslim-majority Malaysia inherited from the British colonial era — and corruption following a power struggle with Mahathir Mohammad, Malaysia's authoritarian prime minister for more than two decades.
Anwar, however, played an unexpected card. From prison he helped forge a new opposition alliance by ending the two-decade feud with his former persecutor-in-chief, Mahathir, who'd once called Anwar "morally unfit" to govern the country.
It was a hard but pragmatic decision, Anwar's eldest daughter, lawmaker Nurul Izzah Anwar, told The Associated Press.
Anwar, 70, is an "incorrigible optimist" who believes there must be sacrifices to bring about a change of government and badly needed reforms, she said.
"He was instrumental in galvanizing an eventual approval to get Mahathir to be part of our coalition," said Nurul Izzah. "He was the first to state that it's time for us to be actively playing our part to design the Malaysia that we want."
Mahathir, 92, now leads an opposition alliance that includes Anwar's party. They're campaigning to oust Prime Minister Najib Razak, who is mired in scandal, and end the National Front's unbroken 60-year rule.
Even with Mahathir, who is popular with Malaysia's Malay majority, the odds are stacked against the opposition. It won the popular vote in 2013 but the ruling party clung to a majority in Parliament because of an electoral system that gives more weight to Malay-dominated rural seats that traditionally support the government.
A popular Islamic student leader, Anwar joined the ruling Malay party in 1982, a year after Mahathir became prime minister. He quickly rose up the ranks, becoming finance minister in 1991 and deputy premier two years later. Anwar became the heir apparent to Mahathir but they fell out during the 1998 Asian financial crisis and Anwar was sacked.
He refused to go quietly, leading tens of thousands of demonstrators in street rallies in Kuala Lumpur demanding reforms before he was arrested. He was later produced in court with a black eye from a beating by the police chief. That black eye has become the logo of the People's Justice Party led by his wife and is now the symbol of the opposition challenge against Najib.
Anwar was freed in 2004 after Mahathir retired and cleared of the sodomy charges.
In 2008 elections, his opposition pact known as the People's Alliance made major inroads by depriving the National Front of a two-thirds majority in Parliament for the first time. In 2013, the National Front lost the popular vote, its worst result since independence from Britain in 1957. It currently holds 132 of 222 seats.
But in 2015, Anwar was imprisoned again after new allegations of sodomizing an aide that he and his supporters said was a government plot to crush the opposition.
"Authoritarian leaders always believe the best way to deal with dissidents is to jail them, but throughout history, it has always backfired," Anwar said at the time.
His opposition alliance broke up after its Islamist ally left. It regrouped as the Alliance of Hope but the pact was shaky due to infighting and the lack of a charismatic figure to hold it together day to day.
Mahathir's political comeback in 2016 provided the missing glue. Despite his advanced age, Mahathir was seen as the best chance for the opposition to win support from rural Malays.
The former prime minister was spurred out of retirement by the corruption scandal at 1MDB, a state fund that is being investigated by the U.S. and several other countries after associates of Najib allegedly stole and laundered $4.5 billion from it. The fund was set up by Najib in 2009 to promote economic but accumulated billions in debts.

Rosmah : I did not interfere with government matters
PEKAN: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor has rubbished claims that she interfered in government matters.
Rosmah said there were certain quarters that “attacked” her by throwing various allegations in an attempt to bring down Najib.
“I am aware of many allegations thrown by the other side (the opposition) that is causing the people to feel intimidated by me.
(But) I have never interfered with my husband’s affairs, especially in matters related to government administration,” Rosmah said here today at the Women Walk the World programme organised by Pekan Women’s Insitute.
Rosmah added as a wife it was her duty to take care of Najib and their household and she has never influenced Najib in making any decisions on government policies and affairs.
"Najib is the kind of person which always put the people's interests ahead of his interest. He always think about what he should do for the people, especially in Pekan.

Because of his busy schedule, sometimes he did not get to see me. My job is to take care of my husband, but he is busy thinking and caring for the people.
Sometimes, he even forgot about the children's matters but he is aware of people’s problems in Pekan and will do his best to solve it,” she said.
Present at the programme was Pekan Women’s Insitute chairman Datuk Melati Ali.
Meanwhile, Rosmah said women were the backbone of their families and the country's development, hence this year was declared as Women Empowerment Year.
“In the recently launched Barisan Nasional (BN) manifesto, it has pledged to simplify the microcredit credit requirements for women entrepreneurs as well as to set up a transformation center to help them widen their business network.
“In fact, a Women's Cooperative will also be established to offer savings and loan financing facilities. It shows that the BN-led government appreciates the contribution given by women,” she said. © New Straits Times Press (M) Bhd
