Anwar Returns The Prosecution and Release of Anwar Ibrahim
No full text"Going to jail I consider a sacrifice I make for the people of this country. My struggle will continue, wherever I am sent and whatever is done to me. I pledge, and I will not be silenced, I will fight on for freedom and justice and I will never surrender." - Anwar, 10 February 2015. 16 May 2018: Anwar Ibrahim is released from prison and receives a full royal pardon from the King of Malaysia. This was an astonishing turn of events for the former Deputy Prime Minister who was serving a second prison term for sodomy, a charge that Anwar has always refuted. For Mark Trowell QC, who observed the criminal trials of Anwar Ibrahim, the release was "as historic as the release of Nelson Mandela in South Africa." Read about the dramatic twists and turns in the prosecution of Anwar Ibrahim, from when he was first charged with sodomy in September 1998 to his vindication 20 years later. This book covers not only the trials and prosecution Anwar was subjected to, and which led to the guilty verdict and sentence of five years' imprisonment in February 2015, it also recounts the changing political tide sweeping through Malaysia that culminated in his historic release in 2018. Mark Trowell also presents an exclusive interview with Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. In a wide-ranging discussion, held in May 2018, Anwar reveals much about his time in prison, his new relationship with Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and his vision for Malaysia.Cover -- Title -- Copyright -- Contents -- Foreword -- Introduction -- The Release (2015-2018) -- 01 In conversation with Anwar Ibrahim (31 May 2018) -- 02 The final twist -- The Prosecution (2008-2015) -- The Trials: September 2008-January 2012 -- 03 Sodomy I: The first episode -- 04 Sodomy II: Anwar charged again -- 05 The international reaction -- 06 Pre-trial skirmishes and start of trial -- 07 Continuing fight for disclosure during trial -- 08 The affair -- 09 Was it Anwar's DNA? -- 10 Judge says case to answer -- 11 Defence case begins -- prosecution applies to reopen case -- 12 Final submissions -- 13 The acquittal: 9 January 2012 -- 14 The saga continues -- The Final Play: March 2014-February 2015 -- 15 Government wins 13th general election -- 16 Attempts to disqualify prosecutor -- 17 A week of action -- 18 Anwar convicted and sentenced to five years in prison -- 19 Karpal convicted of sedition -- 20 Failure to expunge "homosexual" remark from record -- 21 "A good lawyer dies in the saddle" -- 22 Sedition crackdown to silence dissent -- 23 The final appeal: Federal Court of Malaysia -- 24 The final verdict: 10 February 2015 -- 25 Interview with Anwar Ibrahim (9 July 2014) -- Timeline of events (1998-2018) -- Key players in the prosecution of Anwar Ibrahim -- Acknowledgements -- About the author"Going to jail I consider a sacrifice I make for the people of this country.

A fiscal needs approach to equalization transfers in a decentralized federation
No full textThe author reviews the conceptual basis for fiscal equalization transfers, analyzes the theoretical implications for optimal design of equalization transfers, and suggests quantitative approaches for assessing the fiscal needs of subnational governments and determining their entitlement to transfers. The author illustrates proposed methods using data for local and provincial Canadian governments. The proposed methods could be useful tools, he says, for undertaking systematic objective reviews of aggregate and sectoral public spending in developing countries. The author argues that in a decentralized federation, fiscal inefficiencies and inequities arise because of subnational governments'differing levels of ability to provide comparable public services at comparable tax rates. Fiscal equalization transfers that reduce or eliminate differentials in net fiscal benefits create a rare instance in economics when considerations of equity and efficiency coincide. These transfers must allow for differences in the spending needs and revenues-raising abilities of the various subnational governments. The author argues for a two-tiered approach to equalization. The first tier would be a federal responsibility to equalize the burden of federal taxes. The second tier would be an interprovincial equalization fund to be administered by the Council of Provincial Finance Ministers. It would entail a comprehensive equalization system that takes into account provincial spending needs. The standard of equalization would be negotiated.Public Sector Economics&Finance,Banks&Banking Reform,Municipal Financial Management,National Governance,Environmental Economics&Policies
Fiscal decentralization in developing and transition economies: progress, problems, and the promise
No full textThe author discusses the revolution in public sector thinking that is transforming the public sectors of developing and transition countries. Countries are reconsidering their fiscal systems and searching for the right balance between central government control and decentralized governance. Political decentralization has advanced in most countries. Subnational expenditures in developing countries as a percentage of total public expenditures have also increased over the past two decades. However, the process is far from complete. In many countries, the central government is still involved in the delivery of local services, local governments have few sources of own-revenues, local governments have limited access to borrowing for capital projects, and the design of intergovernmental transfers does neither address regional fiscal equity nor convey appropriate incentives for fiscal discipline, improved service delivery performance, and accountability to citizens. Decentralized public governance can help realign public sector incentives through greater accountability to citizens, and attenuate the"democracy deficit"caused by globalization and the role of supranational institutions and regimes. However, this requires careful examination of the entire fiscal system. Elements of a comprehensive package of fiscal system reforms would include: (a) Clarifying roles of various levels of government in public service delivery; (b) Reassigning taxing responsibilities to ensure local revenue autonomy, accountability, and efficiency without endangering an internal common market; (c) Designing fiscal transfers to ensure regional fiscal equity and to create an enabling environment for innovative and competitive service delivery; (d) Facilitating responsible credit market access to subnational governments; (e) Designing institutional arrangements for intergovernmental fiscal relations to better coordinate policies; and (f) Aligning operational capacity with the authorizing environment through the"accountability for results"framework of public management.National Governance,Banks&Banking Reform,Environmental Economics&Policies,Public Sector Economics&Finance,Municipal Financial Management,National Governance,Banks&Banking Reform,Public Sector Economics&Finance,Municipal Financial Management,Environmental Economics&Policies

EPISTEMOLOGI ISLAM: STUDI KOMPARATIF ISLAMISASI ILMU ISMAIL RAJI AL-FARUQI DAN INTEGRASI-INTERKONEKSI M. AMIN ABDULLAH
No full textDikotomi keilmuan modern dan keilmuan Islam merupakan pembahasan yang
belum usai diperbincangkan di kalangan intelektual muslim. Beberapa pemikir
muslim seperti Ismail Raji al-Faruqi dan M. Amin Abdullah merespons dan
berupaya menyelesaikan problem keilmuan yang dikotomis ini. Paradigma
integrasi-interkoneksi yang ditawarkan Amin Abdullah mengandaikan terbukanya
dialog antara ilmu-ilmu modern dan ilmu-ilmu Islam sehingga peluang dikotomi
keilmuan tertutup rapat. Begitu juga Ismail Raji al-Faruqi yang mengupayakan
penyatuan ilmu-ilmu modern dan ilmu-ilmu keislaman. Lalu, bagaimana struktur
pemikiran Ismail Raji al-Faruqi tentang Islamisasi ilmu? Bagaimana struktur
pemikiran Amin Abdullah tentang Integrasi-Interkoneksi? Dan bagaimana
persamaan dan perbedaan antara pemikiran Amin Abdullah dan Ismail Raji alFaruqi?
Penelitian ini adalah jenis penelitian pustaka. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah
pendekatan epistemologi. Ada dua sumber dalam penelitian ini; sumber primer
diperoleh dari karya-karya Ismail Raji al-Faruqi dan M. Amin Abdullah.
Sedangkan sumber sekunder diambil dari data pustaka yang berkaitan dengan
objek material maupun formal dalam kajian ini. Adapun metode yang digunakan
dalam analisis data ini adalah deskriptif, analitik, komparatif.
Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan ada persamaan dan perbedaan antara spirit
pemikiran Ismail Raji al-Faruqi dan Amin Abdullah. Keduanya sama-sama
memiliki spirit pemikiran dalam menjawab dikotomi keilmuan. Namun keduanya
berbeda dalam penekanan yang harus dilakukan. Ismail Raji al-Faruqi dengan
gagasan islamisasi ilmunya menekankan penguasaan terhadap keilmuan modern
untuk kemudian diislamisasikan. Sedangkan Amin Abdullah dengan gagasan
integrasi-interkoneksi menekankan penguasaan terhadap keilmuan umum
(modern) dan keilmuan Islam. Sehingga masing-masing rumpun keilmuan sadar
akan keterbatasan dan kekurangan yang dimiliki, untuk kemudian saling mengisi
dan melengkapi satu sama lain
