SHAH ALAM – Naib Presiden PKR, Tian Chua mendakwa kenyataannya yang mengaitkan insiden di Lahad Datu, Sabah sebagai sandiwara Umno telah disalah faham.

Menurutnya, kenyataan beliau yang disiarkan portal rasmi PKR itu langsung tidak merujuk kepada peristiwa penembakan yang mengorbankan dua anggota keselamatan negara.

Sebaliknya, beliau berkata, kenyataan tersebut dibuat sebelum berlakunya kejadian yang membabitkan pertempuran antara pihak keselamatan negara dengan penceroboh dari selatan Filipina.

“Saya mengatakan ia sandiwara Umno kerana mereka sering mengaitkan pembangkang di sebalik insiden di Lahad Datu. Sedangkan, kerajaan sendiri asyik berdolak-dalik mengenai situasi sebenar di sana.

“Secara kebetulan kenyataan saya itu disiarkan pada hari sama dengan kejadian penembakan tersebut. Lalu menyebabkan ramai yang tersalah tafsir kenyataan saya dan mengaitkannya dengan insiden yang meragut nyawa itu,” katanya kepada Sinar Harian, semalam.

Tian Chua yang juga Ahli Parlimen Batu berkata, beliau tidak sesekali mempersoalkan pengorbanan anggota keselamatan yang terlibat dalam pertempuran di Lahad Datu, kelmarin.

“Saya berasa simpati dan mengucapkan takziah kepada ahli keluarga anggota keselamatan yang terkorban,” katanya.

Pacific Rim

Today Ridley Scott's much anticipated Alien prequel Prometheus hits theaters, and already Guillermo del Toro's upcoming Pacific Rim is stealing a little of the sci-fi epic's thunder, unveiling a first look at the features' shared star, Idris Elba, in PR battle gear. Check it out below thanks to Total Film Magazine (via Moviehole).

In Prometheus, Elba lends a loads of swagger to ensemble, portraying a cocky spacecraft captain with a charming penchant for playing the accordion. But in Pacific Rim the Luther star is an earth-bound pilot of some massive fighting robots called Jaegers, built to wage war against hordes of Kaiju, monstrous creatures crawling out of the oceans, wreaking havoc on the world.

With the movie not due out until next 2013, Warner Brothers won't likely begin teasing the images of the Jaegers or Kaiju for some time. Instead, they offer us an enticing glance of Elba. Beyond being s shrewd way to capitalize on Prometheus' buzz, this image above also gives a human face to the mysterious monster-stuffed adventure, and a ruggedly handsome one at that.

As an added bonus, del Toro revealed a little about the film's production, telling the magazine:

QUOTE

When we’re talking about the physicality of the fight, we ended up building several blocks of Hong Kong. And literally demolished them. We built a building and then we took down the buildings. We built command centers of the robots that were the size of the house. We started them on hydraulic rigs that shoot and elevated them and moved them round so you could really get a sense of the physical nature driving a robot like this.

While del Toro has an incredible gift with CGI—which will definitely be displayed within Pacific Rim—I'm thrilled to hear he's also using practical effects to urge stronger performances from his cast. Already, I've seen and heard enough to make Pacific Rim one of my most-anticipated movies of 2013. But all the same, I'm aching to see more. Show me robots, show me monsters, or at least show me Rinko Kikuchi in her battle attire!

Pacific Rim opens July 12th, 2013.
