Sultan Johor Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar hari ini menyatakan rasa murka terhadap tindakan seorang ahli politik DAP yang dianggap mencabul kesucian Islam apabila berpolitik dalam masjid.
Dalam satu kenyataan Sultan Ibrahim berkata sebagai ketua agama Islam di Johor baginda tidak apologetik untuk mengambil pendirian bahawa semua aktiviti ahli politik di masjid dan surau di negeri itu dihentikan.
Kata baginda langkah itu dibuat demi menjamin kesucian, ketertinggian Islam dan maruah Islam terpelihara, selain menjaga keharmonian dan perpaduan masyarakat pelbagai kaum dan agama dapat terus dinikmati oleh Bangsa Johor.
"Semua aktiviti ahli politik di masjid dan surau di Johor hendaklah segera dihentikan dan pencabulan yang telah berlaku tidak boleh berulang lagi," tidak baginda.
Kata Sultan Ibrahim, baginda yakin ahli parlimen dan parti-parti yang diberi kuasa akan menafikan mereka membuat apa-apa ucapan politik dalam majlis itu.
"Bagaimanapun, saya konsisten menekankan bahawa masjid dan surau dihalang daripada melakukan apa-apa aktiviti politik.
"Ini kerana sebahagian besar kegiatan yang dianjurkan oleh politik boleh mewujudkan konflik, penghinaan dan fitnah demi meraih populariti mereka,” katanya.
Pang dikhabarkan hadir ke masjid untuk menyampaikan sumbangan. Gambar Pang berucap kemudian menjadi tular dan dia didakwa memberi ucapan politik di situ.
Sementara itu Pang ketika dihubungi Malaysiakini memberitahu dia tidak membangkitkan sebarang isu politik semasa berucap di majlis berkenaan.
Katanya dia datang ke situ hanya untuk menyerahkan bantuan kepada masjid dan surau dalam kawasan berkenaan sempena Ramadan.
Pang juga mendakwa dia tidak tahu mengenai pekeliling dikeluarkan Maij yang melarang seseorang ahli politik berucap di masjid Johor.
"Saya tidak menyentuh apa-apa mengenai politik. Ucapan saya pendek saya dan mengenai pengumuman bantuan serta mengucapkan selamat menyambu Ramadan. Itu saja," katanya.
Tambah Pang, pada awalnya dia menjalankan aktiviti tersebut di luar masjid, namun kemudian diajak masuk untuk berucap.
Pang juga berkata dia tidak perlu diingatkan bahawa masjid harus bebas daripada politik.
"Pada masa yang lalu, ketika saya berada di pembangkang, kami telah memperjuangkan bahawa semua tempat ibadah tidak boleh digunakan untuk politik dan saya kekal dengan sikap begitu," katanya.
Menurutnya lagi jika umat Islam mahu orang bukan Islam menghormati Islam, mereka harus lebih ramah dan sopan.
"Ketika saya berada di masjid, persekitarannya adalah baik, saya berasa aman, damai dan harmoni," katanya.

In trading, it is quite common for the terms options and futures to be used interchangeably. Although these two contracts have a lot of similarities when it comes to principles, they are actually two very different things and therefore interchanging them when conducting trades in the market can be a very lethal mistake for anyone.
Let us learn the differences between these two contracts in order to prevent making the wrong decisions in buying and selling rights for stocks or commodities. Through this, we may just be able to prevent risks and maximize chances for profit.
However, it is very important to take note that a holder is obligated to exercise the conditions of the contract unlike in options where the holder can have the liberty of deciding.
In a futures contract, an investor has the liberty to sign into the contract without paying upfront. However, an investor cannot take hold of an options position without paying a premium to the contract holder. The option premium therefore serves as payment for the privilege to not become obligated to purchase the underlying commodities in cases wherein there are unfavorable shifts in prices.
Another major difference between options and futures is also the size of the underlying positions that can be traded. Usually, futures contracts would include much larger sizes for the underlying positions as compared to that included in options contracts. Because of this, the obligations included in futures make it riskier for a contract holder to trade due to the possibility of losing so much.
Lastly, the two contracts differ with how gains are received by parties involved. For options contracts, gains can be attained in three methods. Either the holder exercises the option, purchases an opposite option, or waits until the expiration date arrives to be able to collect the difference between the price for asset and the strike price, so he or she could get profits. However, profits for futures contracts can only be realized by either taking an opposition position or through the instant change in the value of positions at the end of each trading day.
Knowing about the differences between an options contract and a futures contract can help broaden your knowledge in stock trading, and this can surely prevent you from making the wrong decisions if ever you decide in joining this particular arena.
Remember to never trade without doing your research and fully understanding what contracts you are dealing with. If you just take the extra step to acquaint yourself, then you just might be able to spare losing so much money.

Cuma berucap pendek
Walaupun tidak menyebut sebarang nama kenyataan tersebut diyakini merujuk kepada kehadiran Anggota Parlimen Labis, Pang Hok Liong di Masjid Tenang Stesen pada 10 Mei lalu.Pang dikhabarkan hadir ke masjid untuk menyampaikan sumbangan. Gambar Pang berucap kemudian menjadi tular dan dia didakwa memberi ucapan politik di situ.

Let us learn the differences between these two contracts in order to prevent making the wrong decisions in buying and selling rights for stocks or commodities. Through this, we may just be able to prevent risks and maximize chances for profit.
What Is An Options Contract?
An option is basically the right to buy or sell a specific amount of stock, currency, or whatever commodity offered in the market. This contract basically allows an individual to enjoy, but to necessarily become obligated, to exercise these rights. This contract can only be valid for a specific period of time, and commodities traded can only be bought and sold at a certain fixed price.What Is A Futures Contract?
On the other hand, a future is a transferable contract that requires the delivery of a certain stock, currency or whatever commodity traded. Like an option, the delivery of the trade is done through a fixed price stated in the contract and within a time frame, so one should not go beyond the expiry date.However, it is very important to take note that a holder is obligated to exercise the conditions of the contract unlike in options where the holder can have the liberty of deciding.
The Differences Between Options And Futures
Aside from the fundamental difference between the two contracts on rights and obligations, there are also other differences that include commissions, the size of underlying stocks or commodities traded and how gains are realized.In a futures contract, an investor has the liberty to sign into the contract without paying upfront. However, an investor cannot take hold of an options position without paying a premium to the contract holder. The option premium therefore serves as payment for the privilege to not become obligated to purchase the underlying commodities in cases wherein there are unfavorable shifts in prices.
