Lack Of Monitoring Showed ! Everytime ..and fucking everytime the fucking same ..

Hillslopes Development and Bukit Antarabangsa Tragedy
Posted by Datuk Seri Dr. Chua Soi Lek (Thursday, December 11, 2008) at 4:05pm

In the last 15 years, there were 13 major landslides in Hulu Kelang area, of which 5 were in Bukit Antarabangsa area.
malaysiakini to post this ==>
There are clear guidelines of highlands development by the Ministry of Environment. These guidelines are not only set out clearly according to the gradient of hillslopes, it also laid out steps to be taken to ensure safety on hillslopes development. They should be strictly adhered to, regulated, monitored and enforced.

Highland developments are classified into:

a) Class I - Gradient Less than 15 degrees

b) Class II - Gradient more than 15 to less than 25 degrees

c) Class I & Class II - For Development with Conditions

d) Class III - Gradient more than 25 to less than 35 degrees-little development allowed

e) Class IV - Gradient more than 35 degrees-No development allowed

There are even details about the qualifications and experience of consultants involved in the projects. However, it looks good on paper only.

When such tragedy occurs, many questions remain unanswered, especially who is to be held liable:

1. The approving authority is the local authority and often it lacks the technical know how and have to be dependent on other bodies. We are given to understand that the Ampang council does not even have a senior engineer to supervise Highland development.

2. There should be close supervising during the project implementation. If there are EIA requirements, who is to ensure that mitigating measures are followed and enforced? Supervision we are told is lacking.

3. Who is the Monitoring Authority? Often coordinated approaches involving many technical departments are required. It cannot be left to the local authority, which is lack of the expertise. If these consultants both private and government are involved, then they should be held accountable. It is they who are the experts, who certified the projects safe.

4. When the projects are completed, who is responsible for monitoring the projects and for how long it should be monitored? Leaving it to the developer to do the job of maintenance without being monitored is NOT the best method to ensure compliance.

5. Often if developments are by different contractors and developers – there is no coordination among them of who undertakes the coordination. There are accusations that some landowners / developers cut down their lands if the gradient is too steep to less steep (<35)degrees.>Every landslide and tragedy provides an opportunity to the authority to investigate the actual cause of the landslides – what went wrong and who is responsible. Often nobody seems to be accountable. The usual finger pointing and blame game starts.
a) Was it a design fault?

b) Did the construction go according to plan?

c) It is a maintenance problem that causes the landslides?

The victims and rakyat have the right to know who is responsible or accountable when tragedy strikes.

It cannot be an “Act of God” always. We are given to understand that while some consultants have paid the price of being negligent, no private developers have ever been brought to court for failing to comply with conditions laid down by the local authority.

The State Government and Federal Government must show that they are committed to ensure safety on hillslopes development. We may have to learn from Hong Kong how they overcome their problems on hillslopes development, otherwise landslides will continue and more tragedies will occur.

Buyers should NOT be faulted for buying houses on the hillslopes. We take it that the buildings are safe after the authority have approved it and certified it fit for occupation. However buyers have to be more careful in purchasing hillslopes houses. It can be time bomb.

Meanwhile the authority may want to review all hillslopes development that have been approved but not implemented. As for ongoing projects, it should be strictly monitored and regulated.

[土崩] 不能总归咎天意

12月19日 专题报导
(转摘自蔡细历医生部络格) :
http://drchua9.blogspot.com/2008/12/hillslopes-development-and-bukit.html

土崩不能总归咎天意

翻看资料,淡江在过去15年里共发生了13宗土崩事件,其中5宗位于国际山庄地区。

事实上,环境部已订有明确和详细的高原发展指南,有关指南不仅根据不同斜度的山坡设定发展准则,也阐明确保山坡发展安全所应采取的措施,所有高原发展计划的相关单位应该严格遵守,监督和执行。

根据这项指南,高原发展分为:
1.第1级 - 山坡斜度少于15度
2.第2级 - 斜度超过15度但少于25度
注:第1和2级的高原地带可进行发展但具附带条规
3.第3级 - 斜度超过25度但少于35度。
注:被允许的发展非常有限
4.第4级 - 斜度超过35度
注:禁止发展

此外,高原发展指南也阐明参与发展计划的咨询顾问机构,所应具备的资格和经验。 不过,看起来只是纸上谈兵

当悲剧发生后,我们有会一箩箩的问题,惟都没有得到答案,尤其是没人告诉我们谁应该负责

以下几点值得进一步探讨:
malaysiakini to post this ==>
1.地方政府是批准发展计划的单位,但却严缺技术专才而必须依赖其他机构。据解,在安邦再也县议会并没有高级工程师负责监督高原发展

2.有关当局必须严谨监督发展计划的进行过程。如果该计划需要环境评估报告,谁来确保他们遵守报告提出的步骤?由谁执行?我们了解这方面的确缺乏监督工作。

3.谁是整个计划的监督单位?一般上,监督的协调工作牵涉许多技术单位,不能只由缺乏技术专才的地方政府来独当。不管是来自政府或私人界,所有参与发展计划的咨询顾问都要被问责,一项计划是否安全可行,是由他们鉴定和证明,他们才是这方面的专家

4.发展计划完工后,又由谁执行持续监督工作?监督多久?放手让发展商进行维修工作而没有监督整个过程肯定不是最好的做法

5.如果不同的发展商和承包商参与一项计划,往往没有人会协调这些工作。更有些消息指,一些发展上把斜度超出既定指标的山地,夷平至35度以下,使该地段的发展获得批准。

每一场土崩事件都给有关当局机会深入调查土崩的真正肇因,包括查出问题的症结,以及谁该负责?可是,通常都没有一个单位会负起责任,只有不停地互相指责


那到底哪里出问题?
· 是设计和策划失误?
· 建筑工程有没有按照计划进行?
· 是维修问题导致土崩吗?

所有灾民和人民都有权了解和知道,谁应该惟这起灾难负责任。我们总不能每次归咎于天灾。据了解,有不少咨询顾问因为疏忽被对付,但却不曾听闻违反地方政府条例的发展商被提控上庭

联邦和中央政府都要证明给人民知道,政府决意确保山坡发展计划的安全。我们可以向香港取经,学习该国如何管理高地发展计划,如何应对问题。否则,土崩山崩等悲剧将持续重演。

土崩不能怪罪予山坡屋业的购屋者购屋者购买山坡地区房屋,是因为有关当局已鉴定安全入住。不过,购屋者日后必须加倍小心选购山坡的屋业,因为它形同一个计时炸弹。

与此同时,有关当局或需重新检视所有已批准但还未进行的山坡发展计划。而已进行当中的计划,必须确保它遵从一切条例,严格监督。

Bukit Antarabangsa Tragedy - Hillslope Development
Posted by Datuk Seri Dr. Chua Soi Lek (Monday, December 8, 2008) at 3:58pm

The latest Bukit Antarabangsa Tragedy in Kuala Lumpur once again demonstrates the Malaysian boleh for the wrong reason.

Landslide in the vicinity of Bukit Antarabangsa is not alien to us. It is a tragedy that occurs with such frequency that we have to ask ourselves whether we are wiser after each disaster. We may be sad, but are we any wiser?

The usual blame game will start and new directives have been issued by the PM to state government and local council. This will be repeated when the next tragedy strikes again.
malaysiakini to post this ==>
Hillslope development and landslide tragedy is a classic example of greed, inefficiency in implementation and poor monitoring or to be exact no monitoring.

There are clear guidelines for hillslope developments. There is also a cabinet committee on hillslope development with very clear guidelines according to the gradients of the hillslopes and measures to be undertaken. Often this remains good only on paper.

There are some issues that need to be taken in consideration for hillslope development.

1. Are projects approved according to guidelines in high-risk hillslope Development?

2. Are there any measures to stabilize the hillslope implemented?

3. Who is the monitoring authority? A coordinated approach involving JKR, DOE, JPS, local council and geotechnical experts are required.

4 When the project is completed, who is responsible for monitoring the hillslope stability?

5. What about the professional consultants (from engineers to architects) – are they also not liable, can they be sued so that there are more professionalism and commitment in their work?

I have written many times in this blog that EIA Report and other mitigating measures remain good on papers only since there is hardly any effective monitoring and enforcement.

Political will is required. Meanwhile, there should not be any cutting of trees and vegetations on hillslopes that are earmarked for development. Buyers should be more demanding and discerning about purchasing houses on hillslopes. Panoramic view and fresh air is good if there is soil and slope stability.

http://drchua9.blogspot.com/2008/12/bukit-antarabangsa-tragedy-hillslope.html

最近发生在淡江的严重土崩事件再次凸显出“马来西亚能”是一项讽刺。

我们不会对国际山庄发生土崩感到陌生;对于如此频密发生的灾难,我们是否应该扪心自问,每一次发生灾难后,我们会难过,但是可有醒悟?

一如过去,灾难发生后出现谴责声浪,首相也已经向州政府及地方议会发出新指示。

然而,当日后再发生同样的灾难时,会重复同样的情节。

malaysiakini to post this ==>
山坡地区发展及土崩灾难凸显贪婪执法无效率及拙劣监管,甚至是完全没有监管的经典实例。

事实上,山坡地区发展是有明确的指南,而且内阁也成立一个委员会,并根据山坡的斜度拟定指南,同时也阐明所需采取所有措施,但这一切只沦为纸上谈兵

山坡发展需要进行以下考量:
1. 是否根据高风险山坡发展指南去审核有关发展计划?
2.是否有进行任何稳定坡面的措施?
3.谁是监管机构?工程局、环境局、水利灌溉局、地方政府及地质专家应该互相协调。
4.当发展计划竣工,谁负责监管山坡环境稳定?
5.专业人士(工程师至建筑师)又如何?他们是否需要负责法律责任?从而确保这些专业人士的工作更专业及负责精神


我曾在这里多次提及,环境评估报告及其他调和的措施只是纸上谈兵,因为这期间几乎没有进行严厉的监管及执法

政治意愿是必要的。但不应该为了要发展而砍伐山坡树木及植物。购屋者方面,有意购买山坡房屋的人士要更谨慎及苛刻选择。当然,如果土壤及坡面稳定,绿意盎然的景色及新鲜空气是大家都喜爱的。

Pak Lah Willing to Step Down or NOT ?

15th December Malaysiaparty 's [NOW] News of Week
(picked from themalaysianinsider.com) :
http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/13890-so-is-he-going-or-staying

So, is he going... or staying?
DEC 8 — Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang says that Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi should only step down as Prime Minister once he has fulfilled his slew of promises to Malaysians.

Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah says that Abdullah can stay on as Prime Minister even if he is no longer the Umno president.

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad says that there is every possibility that Abdullah will go back on his word and remain in the top job after party elections in March.

What's happening? What is driving this sudden examination and speculation of Abdullah's options? Is Abdullah reconsidering his retirement plans?


The short answer to the last question appears to be NO. Sources told The Malaysian Insider that Abdullah has already made plans for his post-Prime Minister days. He will shift out of Seri Perdana and move into a kampung-style house in Sungai Penchala, on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. As for filling up his retirement days, he has told his friends that he would like to spend time strengthening ties between Malaysia and the Middle East.

His staff members are also looking ahead and counting the days. Some of them are scouting for employment while members of the security detail will return to the general pool. The consensus is that Abdullah is at peace with the decision to hand over power to Datuk Seri Najib Razak at the party annual assembly in March 2009.

"He seems much happier than he was in the last few months. The mess after the March elections really weighed him down, with calls for him to step down and the back-biting and political back-stabbing. Now he looks relaxed and healthier… I think he accepts that his time is up, '' said a senior Umno official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Will he change his mind? No, says his supporters and friends. They say that it is important for Abdullah to be remembered as a man of his word. Also, he does not have a clinical streak in him or the temperament to go against convention, all very necessary tools if he wants to hold onto to the premiership beyond March.

After he has ushered in the legislation for the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Bill, the Judicial Appointments Commission and the special tribunal for enforcement agencies and widened the social security net to cover more than 100,000 households, he will step down. But this will not stop speculation by the cheerleaders from the sidelines or the doubters.

Malaysiakini for this =>
Pas president Abdul Hadi said that the Islamic party would like Abdullah to stay on as Prime Minister until his main tasks were fulfilled. He noted that the MCAC had not been tabled in Parliament while the other reforms which the Prime Minister promised Malaysians were only in infancy stage.

He also felt that Abdullah should overhaul the Election Commission which still was not credible in the eyes of many Malaysians. "He should only go after overcoming the weaknesses and shortcomings of this body which oversees elections, '' said the MP for Marang.

Not difficult to see why Hadi has suddenly become a fan of Abdullah's. He and other Opposition politicians know that there will be chaos in Umno and Barisan Nasional if Abdullah does not vacate his office in Putrajaya as planned. Pakatan Rakyat politicians sense that with the transition issue settled, Umno seems to have become a more settled political animal, a more dangerous foe. Nurturing the idea of Abdullah staying on as Prime Minister will certainly help knock the party off its stride and keep it unbalanced for some time to come.

Last week, Tengku Razaleigh said that there was nothing to stop Abdullah from staying on a PM, noting that he had received the mandate in March to stay on for five years more. "He commands the confidence of the majority of the MPs. And the Prime Minister is appointed by the King and not the Umno General Assembly,'' said the Kelantan prince and former Finance Minister.

As tempting as this idea is, it may not move Abdullah. The reason: he needs to be embraced and loved by his party. He never wants to be viewed as a usurper of the party's collective will. He did not contest the party elections and therefore will no longer have its mandate to rule. He may have the mandate from Malaysians but not the mandate from his party. That distinction is all important to him.

In a recent interview with The Sun, he was asked why he did not use the 90 per cent approval rating in 2004 to push through reforms. He said that having the support of Malaysians was one thing but precious to him was the endorsement of his party.

In the eyes of many party men including Abdullah, Najib, who was elected party president by the Umno divisions, has the mandate to lead the party and the country.

为华社尊严,马华绝不能道歉
忠诚待人 12月3日 下午4点59分

日前,一群披着印有爪夷文丝巾,自称是“马来青年大专毕业生联盟”(GGMM)的6名乌合之众,闯进马华总部来个兴师问罪,并提呈一封律师信给署理总会长,要求收回言论并做出道歉,更狮子开大口地索取高达200万令吉的赔偿金!

这个非法组织的代表表示,索取200万的赔偿金将全数捐给马来人及回教的基金。至于受提问为何提出索偿200的数额时,非法组织的代表莫哈末凯鲁解释说:“这是因为在独立时,200万名非马来人获得了马来西亚的公民权。”

一个从未听所说过的组织,大胆地挑起公民权课题,挑战非马来人在宪法上的公民权地位,并向200万名在独立时期得到公民权的非马来人进行罚款。用意到底是什么?

公民权并不是一方对于非马来人的施舍或怜悯,而是一种认同。非马来人对国家建设的努力与贡献大家是有目共睹的,并得到独立时政府的认同,所以取得了公民权。

在宪法上,非马来人的公民权地位是受到保障的,这是毋庸置疑的。

那只是一个非法小组织,并没有代表全民的资格。这个小组织竟然开出这种要求,试图挑起各族的不满与纷争,实在是居心叵测。

另一方面,这个小组织闯到马华总部来,还开出无理的要求,无疑是在向马华、华社作出挑衅,对华社的尊严和地位加以鄙视,对马华的党威加以践踏。肩负整个华社的尊严,马华应该绝不道歉。

我们忠于王室,我们都爱国。

支持马华署理总会长拿督斯里蔡细历不道歉的原则,因为他没有错。错的是歪曲言论的有心人,该道歉的是偏激,无事生非的“马来青年大专毕业生联盟”!

Anyone can be leader -Anyone can be Prime Minister

Did not God... ..... create all human persons equal?

So, I do not at all feel good with all this talk about "Ketuanan Melayu" and "Malay Supremacy" - it sounds as though we advocate the notion that there are some races that are superior to others...and that I believe, is against the notion that all persons are equal...

In Germany there was a belief of Aryan supremacy - then the rice of the Nazi's - then...the extermination of the Jews..

In the US, of course there was the supremacy of the 'white races' for a very long time - the African Americans were even thought to be 'soul-less'.

We definitely do not want to cultivate the notion that there are superior and inferior races in Malaysia - do we now?

Therefore, those who propagate the usage of such terms that depicts that one race (or group of persons) are superior to another must stop doing so now.

Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal called on MPs not to twist the ketuanan Melayu (Malay supremacy) issue for the sake of gaining political mileage.

Shafie, who also called for open debates on such matters to cease, said ketuanan Melayu didn’t mean that the culture of master and underling existed in the country because the country practised democratic principles based on constitutional monarchy. - Star, 3/12/2008 - Rafidah: Don’t discuss race, religion openly


Yes, many a time the persons who use such terms that derograte other races and religions do so so for the sake of getting political mileage...and other warped reasons.

Rafidah seem to want us not to discuss race and religious issues - and that is just the wrong solution. We must discuss it...and discuss it with openness. There must an effort also of educating peoples in Malaysia about the different religions and cultures - so that there will be a better understanding. There must a highlighting of the so many common elements that unite...

Edward Dagul seem to see things more clearly - and I too, like him, believe that the day has come when race-based political parties must become a thing of the past.

"We urge Mukhriz to be honest to himself and admit that the real problem lies with the politicians in the current communal-based political party system found within the Barisan Nasional coalition," Sapp Youth chief Edward Dagul said in a statement to Malaysiakini today.

These BN policy-makers' racial ideologies have meant that Umno champions only Malay causes, MCA for the Chinese community and MIC for Indians, he said, adding that when society sees this as the ruling coalition's formula for national integration, the concept of compartmentalisation is accepted.

"That's why no one will speak up for another Malaysian if not of the same race. The idea of ‘better left to someone of their own kind' will seep in. This results in further polarisation," Dagul said.

He said Sapp is disappointed that Mukhriz has decided to adopt this stand.

"It is nothing more than an exercise to garner more support in his bid for the Umno Youth chief's post," the Sapp Youth chief said, adding that the Jerlun MP should focus on Bangsa Malaysia and Wawasan 2020 as advocated by his father, former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad, instead of harping on racially sensitive issues.

"The country's success lies in its diverse cultures and the mutual respect shown for one another," Dagul said. -
Malaysiakini, 3/12/2008 - Sapp: Race-based parties the problem, not vernacular schools
Chua Soi Lek of MCA also expressed on the matter...

MCA deputy president Chua Soi Lek today said that it was time to change the concept of power sharing within Barisan Nasional.

He said that the oft-used slogan of ‘Ketuanan Melayu', or Malay supremacy, that indicated a master and servant relationship was unacceptable. - Malaysiakini,27/11/2008 - 'We accept Malay leadership, not Malay supremacy'
However, I cannot agree the MCA's blind acceptance to Malay leadership. Leadership is an issue that will be decided by the people - by the majority, and race, religion, cultural background, caste, class, gender and all such factors are irrelevant - and the best person/s must be chosen to be the leaders of communities and even the government. I, Charles Hector, also hope that I can and maybe I would be the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

Let us move away from this discussion on terms and definitions - and get down to discussing what we can do to make Malaysia a better and a more just place to live.

Tuesday, December 02, 2008 (Posted by Ivanpal at 3:11 PM)
(My letter to Malaysiakini)

One year from Nov 25, nothing much has changed
Ivanpal S Grewal Dec 1, 08 3:15pm

I refer to the Malaysiakini report Hindraf supporters throng temples for Nov 25 anniversary.
Nov 25 was the first anniversary of the Hindraf demonstration that brought together disparate groups of Indians to protest the infringement of their rights as well as the systematic injustice perpetrated against them.
First of all, let me apologise. One year ago, I was of the opinion that the Hindraf rally was subversive and unfit for purpose. I contended that while the grievances were legitimate, the methodology employed to communicate those grievances were questionable at best.
My personal renaissance with this issue stems from a visit I made last week to certain areas in the Klang Valley. I came across not only abject poverty but also across some harrowing stories on the failure of all parties concerned to seriously address this most transcendent problem. malaysiakini to post this ==>
I met a family living on RM3 a day and two children of the family aged 15 and 18 had no identification whatsoever and had never been to school. They only speak Tamil and they cannot count, read or write.
I met another elderly couple, the wife was 74 and the husband was something 80 odd years old. Their children almost never visit them and are only able to settle the monthly utility bills. They live on biscuits and bread. Rice, curry and vegetables - staples of the Indian diet - are a luxury.
I also met a family that is lives with no electricity and water because they simply cannot afford to pay the bills. One daughter is mentally disabled, the mother suffers from cancer and the other daughter just left her abusive husband with four young children. The son of the family works but his meagre income cannot support the family at all.
Now, these stories sounds like those that would emanate from a Third World country or a war- torn country. What is shocking is that this is happening in Selangor, the so-called most developed state with no squatters. How could we have allowed this to happen? malaysiakini to post this ==>
The MIC has obviously failed the Indians; but what about the other BN partners? They, too, have a moral obligation to ensure that no Malaysian lives below the poverty line and on less than US$ 1 a day which is the global measurement for abject poverty.
While we fight over race, religion, ketuanan and fundamental freedoms; a whole demographic has been left in the lurch
. Ignored and disrespected, they formed the strength of Hindraf.
So when our leaders belittled their motivation as simply pecuniary (driven by the promise of a million pounds from the British Government) they forgot the legitimate and serious grievances. These Indians’ anger was pure and their frustration was real.
Now let me pose these questions:


Why are the Indians via Hindraf disallowed from questioning their dismal economic status?

Why are they branded ‘racists’ when they lament the fact that since the introduction of the NEP, the Indian share of national wealth has diminished?

Why are the branded theocratic lunatics when they express their displeasure over the desecration of their temples?

This is not a problem of race but is it a problem of survival. The Indians have long been sidelined and their docile leaders have been complicit in this injustice. Many Indians are denied a Malaysian identity card but illegals in Sabah find getting one like a walk in the park.
The Indians are deprived of welfare help by a bureaucratic and inefficient delivery system. They are denied access to tertiary education by a system that positively discriminates. So what were they to do? What are the three families I met to do?
Who could they complain to? Who listened to them? Hindraf gave them a voice and gave them a platform to air their grouses. The movement galvanised and the BN was humbled on March 8.
And now, some one year later, nothing much has changed. Hindraf is in disarray and infighting has consumed all the passion. Politicking and power-plays now form the plot - not legitimate activism.
The failure of Hindraf to remain true to its ideals is a great disservice to the Indian community but the direct effects are more serious. As the Indians continue to be demoralised, hopelessness will engulf a whole community which will turn more to intoxicants and crime to neutralise their dejection.
As the community burns, leaders on all sides of the aisle fight for power and influence. So Hindraf, like all other Indian movements, fails the Indians once again. And the Indian community is once again bereft of direction and purpose.
With tears in my eyes and prayers on my lips, I can only protest this injustice and on a micro- level help those in need. Until and unless the Indians unite, no one is going to solve our problems or take us seriously.

t murugiah不过,人民进步党青年团长兼首相署副部长慕鲁基亚受询时,却对首相的言论感到惊讶。

“我不知道该怎么说,我很惊讶,感到哑口无言。”

“但是我不认为首相意思是要我们离开,因为他是一个好人,不过有时候,能够做什么?”

没讨论慕克里兹的言论

bn supreme council meeting 091208 01另一方面,阿都拉表示,今日的国阵最高理事会议,并没讨论太多的敏感课题,包括巫青团长候选人慕克里兹所提出的废除华小及淡小,划一小学教育的争议性建议。

他透露,会议上虽然有讨论一些敏感课题,但不需要向记者详细列出相关课题。

他强调,国阵向来都秉持开放的态度,同时也是一个共享权力的政党联盟,因此没有所谓的敏感课题,不能够拿出来讨论。

不忧补选出现钟摆效应

询及坊间在近2天流传,指巫统3月的权力转移计划不能落实的疑虑,阿都拉指出,这没什么关系,反正类似的流言也尽是一派胡言。

针对即将在明年1月举行的瓜拉登嘉楼补选,阿都拉表示,国阵非常有信心能够保住这个国会议席,并三度重申,“我们要赢(We want to win)”来回应记者的询问,展现国阵捍卫这个国会议席的决心。

他说,国阵的胜利因素包括了拥有很好的支持,但仍需更努力地工作。

提到他是否担忧会出现“钟摆效应”,选民把票投给在野党时,阿都拉说:“不是现在。你不晓得选民会怎么‘摆’,选民拥有最后一分钟‘摆动’的习惯,可能摆向我们,又或者别人”。

国阵大会敲定明年2月


阿都拉也宣布建议已久的国阵大会,已敲定明年2月举行。不过究竟是举行1天或2天,就必须进行更进一步的讨论。

他说,国阵各大成员党,也必须在近期内召开本身的工作营,以获取基层和党员的看法。

政府探讨如何救济灾黎

另一方面,阿都拉说,国阵最高理事会对雪州淡江发生的夺命土崩,表示伤心和哀悼。

他表示,国阵最高理事会已同意执行,政府之前所做出的相关宣布,特别是不允许再在高地建屋。

至于政府将会对土崩灾黎做出何种救济,阿都拉说,这将交由政府去考虑。

细历笑称怕到不敢说话


bn supreme council meeting 091208 02今日的国阵最高理事会会议从下午3点开始,至傍晚6点半结束。值得一提的是,由于马华总会长翁诗杰身在国外,其副手蔡细历也暂代翁氏的位子,并坐在副首相纳吉的左侧。

近期因发表“否决马来主权论”的蔡细历,在阿都拉的记者会后,准备搭乘电梯离开时,受记者询及会议上有否提出任何意见时,只以开玩笑口吻说:“我都怕到不敢说话了”。

Who is the NO.2 (DPM ?) choice preference of Najib ?

Dr M spooking Najib to go his way
COMMENTARY
DEC 6 — Here we go again.

That must be the sentiment being felt by Prime-Minister-in-waiting Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his band of supporters in recent days after Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad ratcheted up pressure on him to become his “own man” and support certain aspirants to senior positions in Umno.
Malaysiakini to post on this ==>

The Deputy Prime Minister knows that the caustic comments and biting statements will not stop until the party elections are over in March or until he gives his full backing to candidates endorsed by Dr Mahathir.

On the flip side, he also has to accept that showing favour to one set of candidates or becoming a proxy for the former prime minister could provoke other candidates to go for broke and destroy any sense of stability in a ruling party already knee deep in controversy and facing an important by-election on Jan 17.

Running through Dr Mahathir’s recent statements and postings on his blog, he appears peeved that Najib has become too comfortable with the transition plan and not assertive enough in supporting Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin as his choice for the number two position in Umno.

Muhyiddin, who played a significant role in building up momentum for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s ouster, has been Dr Mahathir’s only choice for the number two position.

He is up against Malacca Chief Minister Datuk Mohd Ali Rustam and Rural Development Minister Tan Sri Muhammad Muhammad Taib for the deputy president’s position.

Dr Mahathir is also partial to his son Datuk Muhkriz Mahathir being elected Umno Youth chief over Khairy Jamaluddin and Datuk Seri Dr Khir Toyo.

In a posting on his blog, he accused Abdullah of busy campaigning for his chosen candidates for the posts of deputy president, Wanita chief and Youth chief, noting that winners will be rewarded with appointments as ministers.

Najib is going to be surrounded by Abdullah's people and through these people Abdullah will control the government of Najib. Najib has already abandoned Muhyiddin, the fierce critic of Abdullah. He does not want to incur the displeasure of his boss. Would he refuse to appoint Abdullah's nominees? Would he dare go against them?” he provoked.

Several days ago, he suggested that Najib may end up as the president of Umno but Abdullah will hold the ultimate prize — the prime ministership.

In an interview with Riz Khan on Al Jazeera, he followed up with another observation, noting that Najib is “more a follower than a leader and must change that.”

These statements are designed to spook Najib and his supporters and provoke them into action, namely showing clear support for candidates with antipathy towards Abdullah.

These statements must also be read together with the warning by Dr Mahathir to expose election candidates who he believes are guilty of buying support.

In his opinion, Muhyiddin should be a shoo-in for the number two job.

Instead, he appears to be in a dog fight with Ali and Muhammad Taib, two candidates said to be close to Abdullah.

Sources told The Malaysian Insider that Najib may prefer Muhyiddin over the other two candidates but will not publicly endorse anyone contesting the party elections.

The reason: he believes that it could complicate efforts to restore unity to the party after March.

Also, it is too early in the game to be showing his hand.

The party polls are a good four months away and no candidate in any category is an overwhelming favourite.

Finally, if Najib endorses any candidate or a slate of candidates, he runs the risk of exposing himself to fire from those left out of the equation.

Given the poisonous mood in the party, the return fire could be damaging.

So for the time being at least, staying on the sidelines makes sense for Najib.

Only problem is that Dr Mahathir is not going to be silent.

老鸟也如此, 有何指望的社青团 ?

组织薄弱,理念模糊,缺乏焦点
社青团的新格局新希望究竟在哪?

郭史光庆 12月6日 傍晚5点19分
新闻分析

dapsy agm 061208 banner吉隆坡联邦酒店15楼的会议厅,挂满写着“领航新格局,创造新希望”的红白色布条,布条上方印着一支升空的火箭,散发着朝气与活力;然而午餐后的会议厅却寒意逼人,主因不是酒店冷气特别冻,而是现场冷清的出席率与辩论气氛

在今日举行的民主行动党社青团2008年全国代表大会中,虽然是竞争激烈的改选年,除了总团长职外全面开打,但出席率却只有35%或171人。投票后留下来参与辩论的社青团代表更是惨不忍睹,全场不及70人

虽然卸任总团长倪可敏在“临别秋波”的政策演词中,称拥有9名国会议员与29名州议员的社青团为全国第5大政党组织,但是诚如怡保西区团长蔡伟坤在辩论时所言,该团今日的出席率,根本不能反映一个5州执政党的规模。

数代表发问“什么是社青团?”

比起在308大选蒙受重挫的马青与民青团大会,创下有史以来最大选举胜利的社青团,大会气氛与积极性却反而远远不如两者。

马青大会上参与辩论的代表都是有备而来,而且经常埋怨时间不够,反观社青团代表在辩论总团长政策演词,在开始时甚至出现没人上台辩论的窘境,代表的发言也仅数分钟,来来回回都是几张熟悉的脸孔,全程大约只有两句钟。

dapsy agm 061208 delegates 02不过在几名“敢死队”当面抨击党内弊端之后,辩论气氛就逐渐升温,对自己人的批评也逐渐浮出台面。

巴生团长林立选就质问“新希望在哪里?”,并炮打司令台,批评倪可敏在政策演词中重申的党理念--“马来西亚人的马来西亚”早已过时,是源自新加坡人民行动党的口号,况且新加坡早已把口号改为“全球的新加坡”。

虽然社青团代表在大会开始时,按照惯例高唱左派标志歌曲“国际歌”,但令人大跌眼镜的是,竟然有超过两名代表发问,“什么是社青团?”、“我们是左派还是右派?”。他们所提出的问题在在显示,这个自称奉行民主社会主义路线的中间偏左青年团的基层,对本党的意识形态趋向感到模糊不清。

不过行动党的“第三条道路”并未完全褪色。一名八打灵再也的代表提出,行动党是以捍卫劳动阶级为己任,包括提升劳动阶级的经济地位至中产阶级,以及维护中小型企业的利益。他强调,这正是区分该党与人民公正党和回教党的最大分别,必须加以凸显和宣传。

(Exclusively view from [JP-the 3rd PARTY]: It had been an experience by my close buddy who was under employed in a private sector in seeking help and advice from MP Kepong (the Rocketfella-Dr. Tan):-


The MP showing lack of interest and enthusiam in helping my close buddy that had been delayed on his hard-earn commission salary by his employer; but given such unnecessary suggestions to my buddy in conclusion "better not to go and meet him for he is too too busy with his "Longgang"-translated as drainage business somewhere in Jinjang" told by my close buddy !!!

So, we had seen clearly that most of the MP (expecially after elected), they are more concern onto those issues which will gain more publicity ! That's why we read a lot of this MP inspected "Longgang" in local chinese newspaper, and this showed that they are doing their job !

So how they help the under-employed working force ? Don't talk about "protect"ing the interest of working force, they're not even helping ! Even their "old bird" was in that kind of attitude ? ? ? )



团员种族比例难以反映多元


dapsy agm 061208 leadership另外,多元种族路线一直是行动党挂在嘴边的口号,但是如何开拓多元路线却是知易行难。

该党一名智囊曾在308大选前分析,行动党必须多派青年候选人上阵308大选,因为这是有史以来中选机会最浓的大选。不过选后就必须趁势着手吸纳非华裔党员,将行动党转型为名副其实的多元政党,否则华裔选民与选区越来越少,也意味着行动党的政治生涯距离尽头越来越近。

然而,参与今日辩论环节的代表却清一色是华裔党员,留下来聆听的非华裔党员也屈指可数,党员也将这个现象看在眼里。怡保东区团长张志坚就一针见血指出,社青团的团员结构无法反映该党“马来西亚人的马来西亚”理念。礼让区团的李富豪也炮轰,社青团竟然没有派遣任何一名代表出席民联的青年团大会

轰领袖不要霸着茅坑不拉屎

dapsy agm 061208 outgoing leaders问题浮出台面后当然少不了寻觅根源,卸任的领导层也逃不过成为问责的对象。

林立选认为领导层一味打“个人主义牌”,导致缺乏团结精神。李富豪则毫不客气批评领袖,“不要霸着茅坑不拉屎”。来自桂和区的丘浚良则意有所指地要求领导层,“请谦虚地对待我们”。

据悉,上届社青团领导层从2005年至2008年的三年任期之间,只开过三次的会议。最后一次,更只是为了要讨论筹办本届的全国大会,因此组织与党务的停滞不前,可想而知。

卸任署理团长张健仁为总团长政策演词总结时坦承,该团组织“比较散漫”,“政治教育在过去也没有积极推动”,才导致一些新团员所有疑惑。他重申该团奉行民主社会主义路线,不过却没有进一步建议,究竟要如何在活动中贯彻有关的路线。

没谈民联州政府与盟党关系

dapsy agm 061208 kit siang speech让人感到意外的是,虽然该党资深领袖林吉祥(左图)在开幕时已经点出一条未来斗争方向的主轴,即社青团必须协助民联在来届大选执政中央,使行动党转型成为执政党之一,但是代表们的辩论内容却鲜少触及究竟如何能够赢取大选。

不仅如此,国家与民声课题、如何强化民联州属、以及与民联盟党的合作关系,皆没有成为代表们的辩论焦点,显示社青团似乎与人民及舆论所关注的课题出现脱节

陆兆福:新选民乃胜选关键

dapsy agm 061208 nga kor ming anthony loke voting新任总团长陆兆福(右图右)在总结时就指出,代表们忽略了如何赢得下届大选的重要课题。

他主张社青团必须积极登记年轻选民,并确保他们支持民联。他预计全国还有600至700万名未登记的选民。

“年轻选民是下届大选的关键性因素,如果能够争取到他们的支持,民联就有机会组成联邦政府。”

然而陆兆福同样没触及民联州属或民联盟党关系的课题,使到大会空有“领航新格局,创造新希望”的主题,却缺乏清晰的斗争焦点与未来方向。

从今年8月的回教党全国大会、上个月的人民公正党代表大会,到今日的社青团大会,民联三党不管是要发展成为一个坚固的政治联盟,抑或要展现强大有效的执政能力及政治成熟度,仍然不是短期内能够一蹴而就的事情。

纳吉接棒, 谁即将领导大马政商业?

纳吉不愿重蹈“第四楼”覆辙?
未来政商新贵属谁备受瞩目
12月8日 下午2点10分
新闻分析

najib finance ministry pc 220908 02一朝天子一朝臣,随着副首相纳吉在明年3月接棒,我国预料也会涌现一批被视为与其关系密切的新贵,在政坛和商场上叱咤风云。

外界已经开始揣测谁将在纳吉时代获得委以重任。除了在当前如火如荼举行的巫统党选,纳吉属意的未来政党班子已经浮现外,政府官联公司和党营企业的管理层也酝酿换人

英文报章《星报》在上周六出版的商业周刊(Bizweek)就拟定了一份“点将录”,罗列出被视为“纳吉圈子”内的兄弟、政治人物、商人、专业经理人和智囊顾问。

华裔企业家陈启福是球友

Johan控股有限公司主席主席陈启福(Tan Kay Hock,译音)、沙布拉集团(Sapura)主席沙里尔三苏丁(Shahril Shamsuddin),以及控制多元资源重工业(DRB Hicom)的著名土著企业家赛莫达(Syed Mokhtar Albukhary),是其中一些被指与纳吉有亲密关系的殷商。

纳吉与陈启福被指是长时间相识的朋友,而且也是高尔夫球的球友。后者所经营的Johan控股涉足多个领域,包括旅游业、产业、健康食品和建筑材料,其中以大莱卡(Diners Club)信用卡最为人熟知。

至于三苏丁和其家族,则被指是纳吉的密友。除此之外,他们还有商业的联系,涉足通讯和资讯工业的沙布拉集团,其属下公司曾经为纳吉此前掌管的国防部制造无线电设备。

syed mokhtar al bukhary赛莫达(左图)的多元资源重工业,也在纳吉的选区北根拥有一间大型汽车工厂,是当地最大的雇主。此外,多元资源重工业属下的国防工业私人由县共岁(Defence Technologies)也是我国其中一家主要的国防交通工具的供应商。

但是一名观察家却指出,虽然赛莫达和纳吉拥有一些联系,但是前者和贸工部长慕尤丁的关系更加密切。这是因为赛莫达是在慕尤丁掌管柔州期间,开始在州内扩张其企业王国。

亲信指无明显商业伙伴

不过,一名与纳吉亲近的消息来源驳斥说,不像两名前财政部长达因和安华,这名从政逾30年的“太子党”没有明显的生意伙伴。因此,每个人都将会有公平的竞争机会。

“除了一些家族朋友外,企业界内没有人真正和纳吉拥有非常密切的关系。他没有所谓达因的‘Peremba子弟’和安华的‘马资源(MRCB)子弟’。”

“Peremba子弟”是在达因时代崛起的土著企业家,包括控制玲珑集团的哈林沙辖(Halim Saad)和控制置地通用的旺阿兹米(Wan Azmi Wan Hamzah)。至于“马资源子弟”则是指在1993年收购新海峡时报集团的4名安华亲信。

与前巫青领袖关系亲密

除此之外,随着308大选显示加强政府透明度的呼声越来越高,纳吉也必须在执政时显得更加公平和进步。

《星报》指出,纳吉最近宣布的70亿令吉经济振兴配套已经为其未来之争方针设下基调,即实行公开招标和设立一个委员会监督政府工程的进度。

一名观察员形容,“如果他没有表现,我也无须形容4年以后的选举会是怎么样的成绩。现在的政治改革的呼声比任何时候还强”。

此外,这家英文报章也指出,这些殷商与准首相的关系,实际上比不上与一班前巫青领袖来得亲密,这些领袖都是纳吉早期担任巫青团长时曾经一起共事。

他们包括在北根出生的云冰国会议员贾马鲁丁惹吉斯、文化部长沙菲益阿达、首相署部长查希哈米迪和纳兹里。

弟弟不曾获得国防部合约

nazir razak此外,作为前首相拉萨长子的纳吉,也拥有4名在各领域活跃的弟弟。他们分别是,担任律师的二弟佐哈里(Johari Razak)、从事投资银行业的三弟莫哈末尼詹(Mohamed Nizam Razak)、担任绘测师的四弟莫哈莫纳金(Mohamed Nazim Razak),以及最广为人知的五弟,也担任联昌国际银行集团首席执行员的纳兹尔(Nazir Razak,右图)。

不过,《星报》指出,纳吉在这个问题上却是小心翼翼,确保不会发生任何家族成员获益的事件。就算是纳兹尔,也是在集团内部按部就班擢升,并已在银行领域证明其能力。

“近几年纳吉掌管国防部长时,并没有发生其弟弟涉及国防合约的丑闻。其家族为拉萨的名字感到光荣,因此不愿遭到沾污。”

担心流言要求前助理离开

纳吉的两名亲信罗哈娜玛目(Rohana Mahmood)和奥玛慕斯达法王(Omar Mustapha Ong)也备受瞩目,两人都是政府咨询顾问公司Ethos & Co的创办人。

其中,罗哈娜也曾和纳吉另一名卷入蒙古女郎炸尸案的智囊阿都拉萨(Abdul Razak Baginda),创办大马策略研究中心(Malaysian Strategic Research Centre)。纳吉曾经担任这家智囊机构的主席,但是它目前已经解散。

不过纳吉据了解不愿重蹈阿都拉,过于依赖其女婿兼巫青副团长凯里为首的智囊团,而备受抨击的覆辙。

《星报》指出,曾经担任纳吉特别助理的奥玛,在不久前曾经出现在财政部长办公室,“纯粹是在某些方面协助一名友人”,不料却引发纳吉准备在其周围建立“智囊团”的传言,导致他被要求重返Ethos。

一项消息来源称,纳吉不希望看到他和公务员之间出现“过滤层”,而且他也希望能够直接面对商界人士。

官联公司领导或重新洗牌

另一个备受瞩目的领域就是官联公司。《星报》指出,现任第二财政部长莫哈末诺耶谷是否获得留任,将会是官联公司管理层洗牌的关键,因为现有管理层都是由他一手遴选和引进的。

他们包括包括国库控股公司董事经理阿兹曼莫达(Azman Mokhtar)、马银行首席执行员瓦希德奥玛(Wahid Omar)、国能首席执行员仄卡立(Che Khalib)、马资源董事经理沙里尔利祖安(Shahril Ridzuan)和首要媒体董事经理阿都拉曼(Abdul Rahman Ahmad)

一名观察家指出,“纳吉可能会有他自己能够信任,并被视为更适合出任这些职位,带领公司前进的人选”。

不过,纳吉在出任财长后所召开的一场企业圆桌论坛可能能提供一些讯息,因为6名出席者都是由纳吉本人遴选的。

这6人分别是阿兹曼莫达、国库控股董事末诺尤索夫(Md Nor Yusof)和莫哈末阿兹曼(Mohamed Azman Yahya)、Konsortium Transnational公司主席莫哈末纳兹米(Mohd Nadzmi Mohd Salleh)、沙布拉集团主席沙里尔、联昌国际银行集团董事颜威明(Gan Wee Beng,译音)。

这家英文报章也点名两名在公共机构服务的专业经理人,可能会获得委派更重要的职务。他们分别是联邦土地发展局控股有限公司(Felda)首席执行员巴克沙列(Bakke Salleh)和武装部队基金(Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera)主席罗丁沃(Lodin Wok Kamarudin)。

又有土崩灾黎作血泪大控诉
“我们成了政商勾结受害者”

12月12日 傍晚6点42分

bukit antarabangsa landslide victim unglu farid ungku abdul rahman interview 121208 01继华裔女会计师黄仪频的家属后,再1名淡江土崩灾黎做出血泪大控诉,直指国际山庄的居民具成为我国贪腐弊案的受害者

现年54岁的恩姑法立(Ungku Farid Ungku Abdul,左图)说,尽管政府声称淡江土崩纯属天灾,但这起灾难的肇因,其实是政商勾结,乱批不符规格的房地发展计划所致

恩姑法立原本一家五口,联同一名印尼女佣苏雅娜住在国际山庄。该起土崩灾难导致其家园全毁,女佣也魂归天国。

雪兰莪淡江国际山庄上周六凌晨爆发的土崩惨剧,夺走4条人命,1人仍宣告失踪,14栋洋房被毁,数千人被令疏散。

“政商勾结只会带来灾难”


“发展商出售该段土地,肯定获得州政府的批准,而如果州政府批准这些山坡的发展计划,也肯定了解批准这种计划的后果。”

他愤怒地说:“那为何他们没有告诉我们这些风险?你不能指望购物者聘请工程专家来确保屋子的安全!我们需要他们来告诉我们!”

准备在瓜登补选对着巫统干

经过了这起灾难后,法立表示,本身如今已变得较为理智与政治敏感。他说,虽然他不会如其他灾黎般起诉政府,但却会尽其能力,把所有疑问对大众公开。

“我的第一步就是要确保,在选民遴选政治人物时,绝对不会考虑那些批准国际山庄发展计划的类似者。”

要确保其他大马人不再受害


kuala terengganu parliament seat by election 2008 051208询及这代表什么意思,他进一步说,本身将会在即将开始的瓜拉登嘉楼补选期间,对着巫统干,告诉选民若再给巫统权力,会带来什么危险

“对我们来说,这件事故无比忧伤。不管我做些什么,都无法让我们的生活恢复原状。”

“我们成了政治人物与商人‘乱伦关系’下的受害者。这不是他们所声称的天灾,这是人为所致的土崩。我只能做的是,确保其他马来西亚人,不会遭受如同我们的遭遇。”

质疑为何住宅区只有1出路

法立是在16年前购入国际山庄地段的居屋。他声称,当他发现国际山庄发展计划的犯规问题时,已经太迟。

他表示,本身是在数天前才获森林局官员告知,其屋子其实坐落于宪报的森林保护区中。更甚的是,国际山庄原本就是一个集水区。

bukit antarabangsa landslide victim unglu farid ungku abdul rahman interview 121208 03他也指出,国际山庄的居民在土崩发生后,根本就不能撤离灾区,因为唯一的出路已被土石所封堵。

“为何国际山庄只有一条出路?到底地方政府凭什么批准,这种只有一条出路的发展计划?”

“为何他们现在才说要建出口通路和桥梁?是否因为这些出路将增加发展商的成本,所以才没有建设?”

土崩灾难总结:无限的贪婪

法立也质疑国际山庄是否曾经过环境冲击评估的研究,因为当地尚有一些计划仍在进行中。

“为何他们一小块一小块地进行这些计划?他们难道没有一个完整的发展计划吗?”

法立最后做出结论,“在这起事故中,我们都发现一个疑点,即无限的贪婪。不管是政治人物或商家,都完全没有道德可言。执法人员到底在哪里?”

民联五州联手对抗经济危机
优先注重创造就业以及培训

刘嘉铭 12月5日 傍晚5点09分
penang pakatan leaders mb conference 051208 02有鉴于全球经济衰退的来临,民联执政的5个州属将联手应对明年可能掀起的一股裁员潮

民联5州将密切合作,吸引更多投资创造更多就业机会,并把推动职业再培训计划,列为应对全球经济危机的优先议程。


民联五州携手更具竞争力


丹州经济策划、财政和福利委员会主席胡桑慕沙表示,只要民联5州携手合作,肯定会比国阵州属更加具有竞争力。

4州民联州务大臣及首席部长今日在槟州商贸酒店出席“槟城及大马经济新愿景”国际研讨会后,联合召开记者会时提出对振兴经济的看法。

penang pakatan leaders mb conference 051208 01出席者包括槟州行政议员阿都玛烈、槟州发展机构总经理罗斯里(Rosli Jaafar)及投资槟城机构执行委员会主席李家全。

除了身为东道主的林冠英,雪州州务大臣卡立、霹雳州务大臣莫哈末尼查及代表吉兰丹州务大臣聂阿兹的胡桑慕沙,都受邀担任其中一个环节的主讲嘉宾。

唯独吉打州政府代表缺席


不过,吉打州务大臣阿兹然却未克出席。询及是否与槟州政府存有隔阂,林冠英在记者会上避而不谈,并要求胡桑慕沙代为解释。

胡桑解释,阿兹然是因最后一分钟患病而缺席,但是投资吉打机构仍参与此研讨会。

槟州第二任首席部长兼民政党创党元老林苍佑也出席聆听。国会在野党领袖安华则将受邀发表演说。

霹雳商讨吸纳被裁退员工


莫哈末尼查表示,明年预料将出现大型裁员的浪潮,比如大约50万名在新加坡工作的外籍员工将被裁退

“问题是,我们是否关注此课题,并将此纳入发展策略的一部分?”

他表示,霹雳州已将此列为首要议程并进行商讨,但是全国整体上将如何吸收被辞退的员工更为关键。

“我们不希望他们归来后,却没有工作。”

促中央政府与民联合作


卡立依布拉欣也表示,目前中央政府是时候与民联州政府合作。

(exclusively view by JP - [the 3rd PARTY] :
Why this Khalid always throwing back the "ball" to federal government ? ! !
Can't he himself think of substitute plan instead of asking for impossible to help out the folks of Selangor people ? He should knew that to ask contribution from federal is an rarely impossible task and he is always keep on doing that everytime when people asking him for solution !!

"maybe he is really can not think"
"he is just a toy by anwar and while anwar busy on other issue, how can a toy to think?" told by one of my buddy

This was NOT the first; the Rawang 's cable case is still unsettled and he had throw the "ball" back to Barisan 's linked company - TNB and federal government to resolve the unsettled !!

What the nonsense he think we are all fooled !!)

“现今是行动的时刻,不是停留在政策搜寻的阶段。中央要专注於民联执政的州属,因为这5州贡献过半的全国生产总值。”

“单单是雪州就贡献了25%的生产总值,所以他们有必要召见相关州属的州务大臣及首席部长,商讨附加价值的领域和方向,以改善成长及舒缓经济衰退的冲击。”

“第二,在受影响后才来振兴经济的经费,远高于现今预防所需的成本。此次经济风暴的后果显而易见,从美国、欧盟及日本等国可见一斑。高度依赖国际贸易的大马经济也不能置身之外。”

“副首相日前声明,要超越政治以确定大马继续成长。我希望那不是一项政治性声明。身为民联的领袖,我们接受挑战并准备与中央合作。”
- (see all nonsence political speech he'd given) - by JP-[the 3rd PARTY]

民联5州不愿先自我孤立


他表示,民联执政的5州州务大臣及首长将在明年举行联席会议,继续针对经济问题分享观点及执行方案,以加速行动。

“此概念早已存在,随着各州领袖掌握州政府的运作后,我们可拟定一些共同的计划及分享经验。”

林冠英也解释,联席会议迟迟未召开,是因为不愿看到5个民联州属过早自我孤立。

“我们希望首相会公平对待这5个州属,当我们出席统治者会议,他们似乎只和国阵的领袖开会,希望他们改变态度。”

“所以,我们不要让自己看起来不一样,是他们要让我们看起来不一样。”

不过,林冠英表示,虽然州政府不会自欺欺人,无视全球经济放缓将影响我国的经济,但也促请民众不必感到过度恐慌,因为州政府正采取必要的预防措施。

“我不要让大家以为必然有大规模的裁员,骇人听闻及届时倾向于自我实现。我们将为最恶劣情况做准备,但事实却未必如大家恐惧般的糟糕。”

槟州要转变成“精明工厂”


林冠英也提醒,我们必须放眼长远的经济发展,不能够只从目前的经济衰退的角度来应对挑战。这包括:

第一、需要强稳的扩展预算和经济振兴方案,继续消费以维持成长;第二、改善基础和教育基本建设;第三、提供职业培训,以在经济复苏时占据优势。

他认为,若可以将槟州的经济从世界“血汗工厂”(sweat-shop)转变成“精明工厂”(smart shop),将成功靠近价值链。

林冠英应撤换莫哈末法鲁斯
钟圣培 12月6日 傍晚6点56分

第一副首长莫哈末法鲁斯上任以来,服务表现屡屡遭外界质疑。公正党本身也质疑其当任副首长的能力。他也被公正党列入表现不合格的国州议员名单内。除此之外,莫哈末法鲁斯也多次被部落客批评,甚至要求其下台。

既然莫哈末法鲁斯无法获得选民以及党内人士的认同,槟州政府领导层确实有必要关注此问题。首长林冠英多次拒绝评论法鲁斯任内的表现,也不愿出面力挺其副手。林首长也以还未接到公正党的任何看法,而且第一副首长职位是由公正党决定,因此他不能发表任何评论来回应有关事件。

委任第一副首长是槟州首席部长林冠英的权力,林首长不需要公正党的看法,也不需要由公正党来决定。为了槟州的未来发展着想,林冠英跟本不需要获得公正党的许可,本身有权做决定。

为了达到槟州政府CAT(有能力、问责及具透明度)的施政理念,也为了槟州的未来,我们吁请首长林冠英不需要等待他人的指示,如果莫哈末法鲁斯确实无法胜任,就应该行驶首长特权撤换第一副首长。

林冠英没有实权?
胡栋强 12月8日 晚上8点30分

槟州民青团团长胡栋强指出,如果林冠英是一名拥实权的有首席部长,他就应该马上撤换表现欠佳的第一副首席部长莫哈末法鲁兹,而不是要等到公正党来做出决定

他说,众所周知,委任副首席部长和行政议员是首席部长的权力,因此,任何表现欠佳的行政议员或副首长,都应该被撤换。以符合州政府建立一个“能干、公信和透明”州政府的原则

他指出,莫哈末法鲁兹的欠佳表现是“有目共睹”,连公正党实权领袖拿督斯瑞安华也曾经告戒这名来自公正党的副首长,原因是他的服务欠佳。

民青团认为,官职应该是能者居之,如果过去9个月来已经证明这名副首长能力欠佳,那么,州政府为了人民的利益着想,应该马上改由其它更适合的人选来担任此职。相信,公正党方面,还有其它领袖有能力胜任这个职位,他们包括双溪峇甲州议员马达沙比以及行政议员阿都玛烈等。

也是民青团全国署理总团长的胡栋强,是针对槟州首席部长林冠英日前声称,州政府是否撤换第一副首席部长莫哈末法鲁兹,将交由人民公正党去做决定的一事上,发表文告时这么表示。

胡栋强说,身为一名首席部长,连要委任任何人担任官职,也要问过公正党,这是否告诉全世界,林冠英并非一名拥有实权的首席部长,连一个表现频频遭到批评的副首席部长也不敢撤换。日后,无论任何大小决策,林首长是否也要等待公正党实权领袖安华点头他才敢进行?

他不明白,为何林冠英身为首长却处处都要看公正党的脸色做人,而不能自行做决定。

他认为,林首长口口声声说要把槟城建立成一个国际都市,可是,连委任一个官职也做不好,又如何让人民对他的治理槟州产生信心?

“308大选后新大马已崛起”
纳吉保证不重返马哈迪主义
12月2日 上午11点48分
najib tun razak photos 211008 02副首相纳吉保证接棒后,绝对不会重返“马哈迪主义”,因为在经过308大选海啸的冲击后,新的马来西亚已经崛起。

即将在明年3月上台,成为我国第六任首相的纳吉,接受半岛电视台的访问时表示,国阵已经毫无选择,必须对308大选后崛起的新马来西亚,做出呼应。

“我发现我国已经转型与蜕变成为一个新马来西亚。当今大马的社会变得更加成熟,要求更加开放。”


极力撇清马哈迪主义关系


mahathir hulu langat 120408 press conference虽然纳吉遭在野党批评为马哈迪主义拥趸,但是这名候任首相却显然企图极力与马哈迪的施政方式撇清关系。

人民公正党主席旺阿兹莎就曾炮轰巫统权力转移计划无助国家改革,讽刺纳吉接棒后将与马哈迪政权一样腐败,政府将充斥着贪腐风气与滥用内安法令。

致力延续阿都拉改革议程


虽然饱受在野党批评与质疑,但是纳吉却强调,本身掌权后将致力于延续现任首相阿都拉的改革议程,尤其是司法改革与肃贪。

“我当然会致力于推动改革。首相(阿都拉)要强化司法与肃贪。这样将向选民传达清楚的讯息,即我们正在聆听民意。”

他说,国阵必须从308大选吸取教训,如果不适时作出改变的话,“民众将会改变我们”。

国阵不忽略非马来人问题


在为时约20分钟的直播访问,纳吉也收到许多公众电话与电邮发出的问题,包括引起争议的马来霸权课题。

纳吉表示,巫统一方面必须顾及马来人的需要,但是国阵与巫统在另一边厢也必须解决非马来人社会的需求与抱怨。

“我相信在一个多元种族政府的概念下,如果真的出现不满的话,我们必须去解决。”

循序渐进开发新经济政策


针对新经济政策的课题,纳吉也重申,在土著社会更加有自信后,他将循序渐进的开放有关政策。

内安令避免我国遭到恐袭

纳吉也为内安法令做出辩护,声称由于拥有这个允许未经审讯扣留的法令,因此我国才免受重大的恐怖袭击。

不过,他表示,政府知道有不少人担心内安法令遭到滥用,而要求废除或检讨有关法令的呼声也日益升高。

针对国会反对党领袖安华变天计划是否被视为一项威胁,纳吉表示,国阵认真看待上届大选的成绩。

“如果我们没有改变或改革,那么选民将有可能决定要终结国阵的执政。

阿都拉无意下台 . 传 1

声称纳吉有可能当不成首相
马哈迪:传阿都拉无意下台
12月2日 下午4点46分

mahathir perdana forum bangsa malaysia 121108 02尽管大家都认定副首相纳吉将在明年3月接棒成为第六任首相,但是前首相马哈迪今日却突然表示,坊间传闻阿都拉恋栈首相的宝座,因此就算纳吉出任巫统主席,但也不一定当得成首相

马哈迪表示,虽然通常只要国阵继续成功执政,巫统主席将自动成为我国首相;但这只是一种惯例,只要获得大部分下议院议员信任,其他不是巫统主席的领袖也能够出任首相

举例民联党魁未当州务大臣


他甚至以在野党为例子,一些出任州务大臣或首席部长的领袖都不是一党之首,例如吉兰丹州务大臣是聂阿兹而不是回教党主席哈迪阿旺,行动党领袖林吉祥也没有担任槟城首席部长。

他说,就连人民联盟领袖安华也没有领导任何民联执政的州属。

根据上述逻辑推敲,马哈迪表示,目前有炽热传言,就算纳吉接任巫统主席一职,但是也不一定能够当得成首相。

“听到的消息是,阿都拉仍然有兴趣继续出任首相。”

纳吉保证不重返马哈迪主义


abdullah ahmad badawi najib razak pc change portfolio 170908 05已经广泛被视为候任首相的纳吉,昨日接受半岛电视台访问时,保证在他执政后不会重返马哈迪主义;结果,马哈迪今日突然通过部落格放话,声称纳吉可能无法如愿接任首相的宝座。

马哈迪表示,从许多巫统领袖与党员的态度来看,这种可能性并不出奇,因为他们已经习惯阿都拉的领导,并且从中得到益处

阿都拉续任将激发政局动荡


不过,马哈迪表示,如果阿都拉继续出任首相,可能会激发人民对巫统及国阵的憎恨,导致政局持续动荡直到大选为止。

“当大选来临,大部分人民将会推翻巫统与国阵。”

他继称,尽管人们无意支持在野党,但是他们却别无他选,因为巫统已经成为一个由许多贪污领袖领导的政党。

警告若贪污者中选将被推翻


为了避免贪污的领袖领导国家,马哈迪表示,国人必须趁早告诉巫统与领导层,即一旦那些众所周知涉及贪污的领袖在明年3月巫统党选中胜出,届时国人将会推翻巫统。

“同样的,如果阿都拉在2009年3月后想要继续出任首相,人民必须明确的讯息,即巫统与国阵将被推翻。”

“巫统内的贪污领袖与破坏者,不应该获得权力来领导这个挚爱的国家。”

马哈迪继称,阿都拉过去5年领导国家期间已经造成巨大的破坏,一旦未来政府领袖全部都是贪污者,这对巫统与国家的伤害将是无法想象的

新加坡马来人成他族“奴役”


他说,目前在巫统有人这么想:本届党选将是他们最后一次受贿的机会,因此他们不能错过这个机会,因为日后可能再也没有这种机会了。

“对他们来说,巫统、民族与国家的命运都不是他们的问题,他们只要有机会就不能够放过,哪怕是区区的100令吉。”

他说,如果日后马来西亚的马来人落得好像新加坡马来人的地位,成为其他种族的“奴役”,上述人士将受到后代的批评。

“如果马来人情愿接受贿赂而不捍卫民族权力,那么这就是马来人未来的命运.

安华 “ 第一第二第三优先皆经济 ”

“第一第二第三优先皆经济”
安华:抗经济衰退更胜变天

刘嘉铭 12月6日 晚上9点12分
anwar ibrahim speech in penang 061208 01


随着全球经济危机不断的蔓延扩大,国会在野党领袖安华(右图)今日直言,民联目前已将经济课题列为最优先处理事项,更胜于夺权变天

他今日受邀为“槟城及大马经济新愿景”国际研讨会发表演说后,被询及将何者列为优先事项时,幽默地表示,“我们的第一优先事项是经济、第二是经济、第三也是经济。

曾担任8年财政部长的他认为,政策的改变固然重要,但没必要空谈政权转移而毫无行动,而且变天纯粹是时间上,而非假设性的问题。

他承认,民联5州政府在推动各项改革上确实遭受诸多限制,尤其是在资源方面,唯很多人却对此视而不见。但他表示,5州将通过经验分享、向贪污宣战及制定更好的州级法律来提升放缓的经济。

重申和平转移政权重要性

他之前在致辞时指出,政权转移是当今政治景象的核心焦点,但处理权力转换的能力,却是国家民主体制强弱的评估标准,“这(变天)可以,且应该以和平及有秩序的方式去进行。无论追求改变的欲望有多强烈,稳定不能因自由的神圣而被典当。”

针对民联一旦执政中央,会否采取自由化贸易和分散中央政府权力的措施,他未正面地响应说,“核心的课题应该是建立一个问责和透明的施政,当然我们支持分权,印度尼西亚的经验更值得参考。”

anwar ibrahim speech in penang 061208 mohd fairus,anwar,guan eng and abdul malik他认为,优先建立透明施政,其实也是将贪污分散在各阶层去对抗,而民联更持有增加产油州属石油税分享额的立场。

今天陪同安华出席者包括槟州首席部长林冠英、近期为不利消息缠身的第一副首长莫哈末法鲁斯及阿都马列行政议员。

促全球金融展结构性改革

安华在致辞时以政治人物亲属及朋党通常在沉船前,优先登上救生船,而平民却成受害者为例指出,社会公义在此情况下,仍必须是政府的其中一项目的。而自由市场拥护者拒绝承认,因为他们的真言(mantra)是,要像回避瘟疫般避免政府的干预。

“但再一次很明显的,任由市场放任及紊乱无章,其迈向狂乱的后果将不纯粹是收入分配的失衡,而是整个制度上的失灵。我们必须正视根基上的弱点。除了显而易见的危机管理课题,我相信,全球金融架构和机构须有结构上的改革。”

他补充,假设我国的市场稳固及自由,法律透明及由无党派的法官却审判,“我们不需要特别的发展走廊或特区来吸引外资。”

“一个稳定和廉洁的经商环境,远重要过由一个贪污及不透明的政府所赋予的特别所得税宽减额或固打制。在采取具有怜悯之心的政策下,不公平发展所导致的裂痕,将开始获得修补。”

“同时,贫穷的土著最终将可以获得徐徐下放的经济援助,而不是在接收到前,就早已消失无踪。每一名大马子民必须获得机会的权利,以学习、正直地赚取生计和实现他们的梦想。”

愿和他州及中央政府合作


他在媒体发问环节时则表示,中央及州政府应更密切及有效地合作,但即使在野党国会议员不断提出要求,联邦政府在拨款方面似乎未给予充分支持。

他也否认,民联5州政府加紧合作是在自我孤立,因为他本身也一直鼓励各州大臣和首长与中央合作,“我们获得人民的委托,然后就一起合作吧!难道还要生活在黑暗世纪,惩罚人民吗?不可以!”

否认民联一味揭前朝疮疤

anwar ibrahim speech in penang 061208 lim  guan eng询及槟州民联政府似乎热衷于揭前朝疮疤,安华为林冠英(左图)辩护说,新政府确实应推行新计划,但槟州也成为了吸引外资的地点,“首长必须针对威省市政局的赤字亏损指出解释,否则敌对党会藉媒体作出攻击,所以玩弄归咎游戏的说法不存在。”

他认同,人民欲目睹实质的改变,“但你也了解我们的媒体,那天报道我们在国会毫无原因地全体退席,什么?毫无原因?”

他不满地说,政府提呈的70亿令吉扩张性经济振兴配套未在国会获得辩论,各项案件如欧洲直升机军购案仍未遭到严惩(impunity),“何以说明在野党是毫无缘故地怪罪政府一番?”

林冠英过后再记者会上表示,必须找出错误的根源,新政府才能对症下药。

Sepuluh tahun selepas reformasi...
Jimadie Shah Othman Nov 14, 08 2:58pm

Selepas 10 tahun, gerakan reformasi pada tahun 1998 yang tercetus ekoran pemecatan timbalan perdana menteri ketika itu Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, disifatkan "mendapat kemenangan kecil di sebalik kekalahan besar".

10 years reformasi forum 141108 1 hishamuddin raisAktivis reformasi Hishamuddin Rais berkata, gerakan reformasi yang menggerakkan puluhan ribu rakyat Malaysia turun ke jalanraya itu, gagal menuntut "perubahan struktural" melibatkan perubahan dalam sistem dan dasar-dasar ekonomi.

"Kini Pakatan Rakyat memerintah lima negeri. Apa yang perlu dilakukan kalau reformasi ingin terus dikembangkan - daripada kemenangan-kemenangan kecil kepada kemenangan besar pada 8 Mac - adalah membincangkan perubahan struktural.

Beliau berkata demikian dalam forum bertajuk 'Reformasilah: Membincangkan (lagi) 10 Tahun Reformasi Malaysia dan Indonesia' anjuran Pusat Penyelidikan dan Maklumat Strategik (SIRD) di ibunegara malam tadi.

Bagaimanapun, Hishamuddin berkata, gerakan reformasi berjaya membuatkan orang Melayu buat pertama kali bangun menentang penggunaan Akta Keselamatan dalam Negeri (ISA).

Tindakan itu katanya, berbeza dengan tindakan mereka daripada zaman 1971 hingga 1974, yang hanya membiarkan orang Cina sahaja menuntut penghapusan akta kontroversi itu.

Perubahan struktur


Beliau turut mengkritik Anwar yang didakwanya "tidak pernah mengajukan reformasi" sebelum dipecat oleh perdana menteri ketika itu Tun Mahathir Mohamad.

reformasi 1998 270808 04Hishamuddin mentafsirkan reformasi pada 1998 sebagai pertembungan 'borjois kecil dan borjois besar'.

"Ia hanya pertembungan kelas, tidak ada kena mengena dengan perubahan struktur," katanya.

Pada masa itu, katanya, ramai yang berharap Anwar menjadi perdana menteri dalam masa terdekat dan mengalihkan tauke-tauke besar itu supaya tempat itu dapat diganti mereka.
