Rakyat Malaysia, Siti Aishah jadi hamba di London, keluarga dedah kisah sebenar

Sebuah keluarga dari Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan telah mengesahkan bahawa wanita yang didakwa menjadi hamba selama 30 tahun di London adalah ahli keluarga mereka yang hilang sejak 30 tahun lalu selepas menyertai kumpulan Maoist di sana.

Guru pencen Kamar Mautum Abdul Wahab (gambar) berkata, beliau yakin kakaknya yang berumur 69 tahun, Siti Aishah Abdul Wahab adalah wanita Malaysia yang yang ditahan oleh pemimpin kumpulan Komunis Mao sejak 30 tahun lalu.

Katanya, kehilangan Aishah telah menyebabkan kesedihan kepada keluarganya.

Kamar berkata, ibunya memberikan wasiat agar menjejaki apa yang berlaku kepada anak perempuannya yang tidak pernah pulang itu, lapor The Daily Telegraph.

“Saya sangat sedih tanpa dia di sini tahun demi tahun. Dia sangat berbakat, dia juga menjadi buah hati pada emak saya. Emak menyebut namanya sebelum menutup matanya.

“Bila emak saya meninggal, dia (Aishah) tidak mahu bercakap dengan kami dan saya tidak boleh berbuat apa-apa,” katanya kepada akhbar British itu.

Aishah belajar di sekolah yang paling elit di Malaysia dan mendapat anugerah biasiswa Komanwell untuk belajar dalam bidang Juruukur Bahan di London.

Dia berlepas ke Britain pada tahun 1968 bersama tunangnya dan berhasrat untuk mencapai cita-cita untuk keluarga tetapi kemudiannya terlibat dengan kegiatan politik melampau yang menyebabkan dia melupakan segala-galanya untuk mengikut ajaran Maoist.

Dia terpengaruh dengan Aravindan Balakrishnan dan rakannya, Chanda, yang telah ditangkap minggu lalu atas dakwaan menahan tiga wanita tanpa kerelaannya melebihi tiga dekad di London. – 26 November, 2013.

Misteri siapa wanita Malaysia jadi hamba 30 tahun di London didedahkan

Hishamuddin Rais, mendedahkankan wanita misteri warga Malaysia berumur 69 tahun dijadikan hamba selama 30 tahun di London berkemungkinan bernama Siti Aishah Abdul Wahab.

Dia adalah salah seorang daripada tiga wanita yang dibebaskan pada 25 Oktober di London selepas salah seorang daripada mereka menghubungi pertubuhan kebajikan.

Polis Britain belum mendedahkan identiti mereka tetapi memaklumkan sepasang suami isteri ditahan berkait dengan kes itu.

Ketika itu Siti Aishah aktif dengan kumpulan mahasiswa Malaysia “New Malayan Youth” berhaluan kiri di London. Abang kepada Siti Aishah pernah meminta Hishamuddin mencarinya pada 1991, jelas Hishamuddin yang pernah hidup dalam buangan selama 15 tahun di Brixton, London pada lewat 1970-an.

Siti Aishah merupakan pengikut kepada fahaman Marxist-Leninist dan pemikiran bekas pemimpin besar China Mao Tse Tung. “New Malayan Youth” adalah pertubuhan mahasiswa yang menggabungkan pelajar berhaluan kiri dari Malaysia dan Singapura pada 1970-an.

Hishamuddin pulang ke Malaysia pada 1994 berkata, Siti Aishah merupakan bekas penuntut Kolej Tunku Kursiah (TKC), Seremban dan kemudiannya melanjutkan pelajaran dalam bidang Juruukur Bahan (QS) di London di bawah biasiswa “Colombo Plan”.

Akhbar Britain mendedahkan, pasangan yang ditahan ialah Aravindan Balakrishnan, juga dikenali sebagai “Comrade Bala” dan isterinya Chanda dari Tanzania, tetapi menurut Hishamuddin, lelaki itu turut dikenali sebagai “Chairman Ara” dan berasal dari Singapura.

Polis enggan mendedahkan tetapi mengesahkan pasangan itu pernah ditahan pada 1970-an tetapi tidak menyatakan sebabnya, kedua-dua suspek bukan warganegara Britain.

Polis berkata ketiga-tiga wanita itu tidak kelihatan seperti didera secara seksual dan tidak menolak dakwaan wanita itu dipukul, lapor The Malaysian Insider.

Indonesia recalls its ambassador to Australia as tensions rise over spying revelations

INDONESIA recalled its ambassador to Australia over claims that Australian spy agencies tried to listen to the phone calls of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa said.

Natalegawa said the envoy was being called back to Jakarta for "consultations" after secret documents leaked by US intelligence fugitive Edward Snowden named the president as well as his wife and senior ministers as targets of the surveillance.

Earlier tonight, Indonesia's Coordinating Minister for Legal, Political and Security Affairs Djoko Suyanto said he would demand Australia make a public explanation about the claims and make a commitment that it would not monitor the phones again.

Top secret documents from Australia's Defence Signals Directorate, leaked by fugitive US intelligence whistleblower Edward Snowden and published by the ABC and The Guardian, list 10 officials and their phone details - beginning with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and wife Ani.

The document, dated November 2009, has an Australian Department of Defence letterhead. The headline is "IA Leadership Targets + Handsets".

Indonesia's Foreign Affairs Ministry would "summon Indonesian ambassador in Canberra for consultation", Air Marshal Suyanto said in a text sent to this evening.

He also said Indonesia would review the exchange of information with Australia and "all other cooperation".

Australia's Foreign Minister Julie Bishop will be told the issue will have a negative impact on the countries' bilateral relationship.

Earlier today Prime Minister Tony Abbott declined to comment on reports Australian spies tried to listen to the phone calls of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, his wife and senior ministers.

"I am aware of media reports," Mr Abbott told parliament.

"All governments gather information.

"The Australian government never comments on specific intelligence matters.

"This has been the long tradition of governments of both political persuasions and I don't intend to change that today."

Mr Abbott was responding in question time to a query from Australian Greens MP Adam Bandt.

Mr Bandt had asked if the reports were true, if Australia was still doing it and if the prime minister supported it.

The revelations come amid continuing tensions between Australia and Indonesia over spying after an earlier Snowden leak suggested Australia used its Jakarta embassy to spy.

Mr Abbott also told parliament the Australia government used all the resources at its disposal, including information, "to help our friends and our allies, not to harm them".

"My first duty is to protect Australia and too advance our national interest," he said.

"I will never ever depart from that.

"Consistent with that duty I will never say or do anything that might damage the strong relationship and the close cooperation that we have with Indonesia."

The prime minister said the relationship with Indonesia was most important and he was determined to foster it.

"A relationship that I am determined will grow stronger in the months and years ahead," he added.

Earlier, former coalition government foreign minister Alexander Downer said the revelations would be damaging to Australia.

"It's a shocking situation in which Australia will pay a big price," Sky News cited Mr Downer as saying.

Australian Greens senator Scott Ludlam said there needed for full disclosure on what Australian spy agencies were up to.

"It's kind of insulting to tell someone like the president of Indonesia that he's a security threat," he told Sky News.

Richard Woolcott, a former Australian ambassador to Indonesia, agreed the latest revelations about spying might ratchet up the reaction from Indonesia.

He played down speculation of a possible recall of the Indonesian ambassador.

"When you have problems, the best thing to do is keep your ambassador there," he said.

Former intelligence analyst and now Independent MP Andrew Wilkie said it was important that "we all know how our intelligence services operate".

"Some capabilities must be kept secret ... but it is in the public interest that a light be shone on the way these agencies do business and how they spend billions of dollars of our money," he told reporters in Canberra.

The initial tension between Australia and Indonesia arose a few weeks ago after leaked documents showed Australia had engaged in a US-led intelligence-gathering operation from its embassy in Jakarta.

Pulangkan balik duit

Kuala Lumpur: “Sudah besar panjang, jadi pandai-pandailah fikir. Pesan saya pulangkanlah balik apa yang sudah diambil,” kata pelakon Intan Ladyana kepada bekas pembantu peribadi (PA) yang dipercayai sudah melarikan sejumlah wang untuk transaksi satu urusan, beberapa bulan lalu.

Intan, 31, berkata, penyelewengan wang mencecah ribuan ringgit itu bertitik-tolak daripada salah satu urusan antara bekas pembantu peribadinya dengan pihak ketiga yang enggan didedahkan identiti pada sekitar Jun lalu.

Katanya, walaupun urusan itu tidak membabitkan dirinya tetapi tindakan PA berkenaan yang pernah bekerja dengannya secara tidak langsung membuatkan namanya terkena tempias.

“Sebenarnya kes ini tak ada kaitan dengan saya pun. Beberapa bulan lalu, kami dan pihak ketiga terbabit dalam urusan perniagaan. Malangnya, selepas urusan itu selesai bekas PA saya tidak memulangkan sejumlah wang kepada pihak ketiga itu.

“Saya baru tahu mengenai hal ini pun bulan lalu tapi minta maaf saya tak boleh bercerita lanjut mengenai kes ini. Sebab ia akan mengaibkan bekas PA dan membesarkan lagi hal walaupun tindakannya itu memang salah.

“Cuma menurut pihak ketiga, bekas PA saya masih tidak pulangkan wang itu. Dia pun sudah tak bekerja dengan saya. Bagi saya biarlah mereka uruskan hal itu,” katanya ketika dihubungi, semalam.

Bekas PA pelakon jelita itu dipercayai memindahkan sejumlah baki bayaran urusan perniagaan mencecah ribuan ringgit milik pihak ketiga ke dalam akaun peribadinya. Dipercayai, bekas PA itu masih tidak memulangkan wang itu selepas beberapa bulan urusan berkenaan selesai.

Intan berkata, bagaimanapun dia bersyukur kerana pihak ketiga terbabit mengetahui cerita sebenar dan tidak menyalahkan dirinya dalam kes itu.

Missing boy in 'haunted' Villa Nabila misadventure found

Mum: I am relieved because I truly believed that some unearthly being had taken him.

JOHOR BARU: The 16-year-old boy who reportedly went missing after entering Villa Nabila, an abandoned bungalow here listed as one of the top five spookiest places in the country, has been found.

Police said he was found in a friend's house in Taman Mutiara here around early Tuesday.

Johor police chief Senior Deputy Comm Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff said Mohammad Izzat Izzuddin was found with his girlfriend of the same age.

He said that after receiving a missing person's report from the boy's mother on Saturday, police engaged in a manhunt under Ops Kesan to search for Mohammad Izzat.

"He is still under our custody and we have recorded his and his girlfriend's statements.

"They will be handed over to their respective families soon," he said in a press conference at the state police headquarters here Tuesday.

He said police have contacted the families and the duo would return home later Tuesday.

"The Villa Nabila mystery has been solved. No spirits held him, we found him healthy and well," he added.

Meanwhile, Mohammad Izzat's mother Norhayati Mohamad, 39, expressed her relief that he had been found.

"I am relieved because I truly believed that some unearthly being had taken him," she said when contacted.

Norhayati said she managed to speak to her son briefly and he told her he had forgotten to inform her of his whereabouts.

"He has never gone missing like this before but right now, I am just relieved."

It was reported on social media networks earlier that a teenage boy was missing after he was seen entering the derelict building in Danga Bay here Saturday, and that a group of 23 children were also missing.

Police, however, denied the latter report.

US-based travel portal Expedia recently listed Danga Bay as among the five most haunted places in Malaysia due to the location of Villa Nabila.

The bungalow is perched on a hill that overlooks the Straits of Johor.

There are several versions of how the 40-year-old building earned its reputation, including one about murder in a wealthy Caucasian family that once lived there.

Another version tells of how the maid killed the family, including a daughter named Nabila, and buried their bodies in the compound.

Yet another tale is that the family was killed by two hit men, hired by a relative due to greed.

Villa Nabila: Creepy tales from netizens

PETALING JAYA: Tales of the abandoned structure that is Villa Nabila have been trending on social media, with netizens giving their take on the spooky Johorian site.

Rumours surfaced online that a group of 23 children went missing at Villa Nabila, an abandoned bungalow in Danga Bay here, reputed to be among the five most-haunted places in the country.

The rumours were reportedly false, but police said that they had received one report of a 16-year-old boy who went missing on Saturday, purportedly after he was seen entering the villa.

Many netizens shared their stories and urban legends about the haunted house on Twitter.

"According to Urban Legend, if anyone enters the bungalow in even numbers, they will leave the house in an odd number," said Twitter user @Nisah_Keiko.

@tashasaid2 shared; "Nabila was a little kid, she was killed by her stepmother (some said the maid) who was greedy to possess her former husband’s heirloom."

Even photographers are hesitant to enter the haunted house.

"Based on experience, many photographers don’t dare to visit Villa Nabila because the pictures they’ve snapped would include an uninvited guest," said @trulyas_meen.

@dameenised admits getting the creeps from the stories and pictures of Villa Nabila.

"By looking through the tweets and pictures of the villa are more than enough to frighten me," said @dameenised.

Some sceptics also immerged on social media.

@QillaZnl said that there were so many versions about Villa Nabila, people will not know what to believe.

"The #VillaNabila horror story is totally fiction. It used to be a story for grandmoms to tell their grandchildren. But yes, the villa exist," said @senkaff.

"I reckon #VillaNabila was just an old bungalow behind a highway which is full of dried leaves," said @Officialfesya.

Many Twitter users wished for the safe return of the missing teenager.
