英文星报在10。3。2011，在其地方版首页大副度报导雪州苏丹拒绝民联提呈名单以便委任吉隆坡市政局咨询委员的新闻。这篇报导刊登以后对我及家人照成莫大的伤害，而我是行动党提呈的唯一人选。还好，我有良好的情绪智商管理，让我及家人渡过了一次又一次的挑战。我和家人要衷诚感谢这几天来致电，传短讯和写电邮给予我和家人精神上支持和对这件事情表达关注的全体人士/居协和党同志。小弟对于迩来一直有谣言指我会辞掉全部党职是无中生有的事（行动党社青团总秘书，行动党联邦直辖区州财政和蕉赖区国会议员政治秘书〕也让造谣者失望。对于雪州苏丹的决定，本人深表遗憾。我从不计较个人的得与失；但是行动党的立场，价值观和原则是不容妥协和受到任何的挑衅！这是我最后一次回应雪州民联政府就委任吉隆坡市政局咨询委员一事做出的最后回应和澄清。以后决口不提。
谢谢。

A DOCTOR, who is a well respected figure in the community, is expected to represent Selangor in the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) Advisory Board.
His name has been submitted by the Selangor government for the Sultan of Selangor’s approval.The rules and regulations that state the board must have 15 members, with the Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Ministry, the Finance Ministry and the Economic Planning Unit of the Prime Minister’s Depart-ment having one representative each and the Selangor government having two.
The term of the previous two Selangor members on the board expired last May 31.
A source said many were also disappointed with Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim for not standing firm on his decision to maintain the original names.
Cheras MP Tan Kok Wai said the Federal Territory DAP state committee had a right to nominate their own people on the board and that they were adamant that his political secretary Loh Chee Heng was picked.
Tan said Loh, who was the former Federal Territory DAP state secretary, had the support of the Selangor DAP state committee as well.
“They believe they need someone like Loh who has worked with DBKL and is familiar with the issues in Kuala Lumpur.
“If the mentri besar thinks a replacement should be found then he should discuss this with our state committee.
“He can choose to replace the PKR candidate if he wants too, that is his prerogative.
“But when it comes to the DAP, let us decide for our slot,” Tan said.
Tan was commenting on the Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah’s decree that a professional with no political leanings represent Selangor on the DBKL advisory board.
He said choosing someone with no political background might not be the best option because he or she would not have the people’s interest at heart.
Palace rejects Pakatan candidates shortlisted for advisory boardBy BAVANI M bavanim@thestar.com.my Metro (Star npps)10.3.2011

ATEMPTS by Pakatan Rakyat to finally have representation in the Kuala Lumpur City Hall’s Advisory Board hit a snag when the two candidates shortlisted by the Selangor government were rejected by the Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.
According to a reliable source close to Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, the Sultan did not want political appointees to represent Selangor, but instead wanted qualified professionals with the interest of the people at heart.
The source said this was the reason why there had been a delay in the appointment of Selangor appointees on the City Hall Advisory board.
The previous two Selangor appointees’ term on the board had expired last May 31.
Apparently the two candidates who were selected are affiliated to the DAP and PKR.
“The Sultan was firm on this matter and wanted only qualified individuals to sit on the board. He had requested the Mentri Besar to submit new names,’’ said the source, adding that heeding the Sultan’s request, Khalid had since withdrawn the original candidates and have submitted a new name to the Sultan.
When contacted, the Sultan’s private sec¬retary Datuk Mohamad Munir Bani confirmed that the Mentri Besar’s office had submitted the name of a new candidate in accordance with the Sultan’s wishes of having only qualified professional candidates to represent Selangor.
According to the Rules and Regulations of the Advisory Board of the City of Kuala Lumpur 1989: the board must have 15 members, with the Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Ministry, the Finance Ministry, and the Economic Planning Unit of the Prime Minister’s Department having one representative each, and the Selangor state government having two representatives.
The remaining members must be individuals with knowledge on local government issues, professionals with expertise on commerce or industry to represent the needs and interest of the local community.
Meanwhile, it is learnt that DAP is standing firm on its decision to have Loh Chee Heng, who is Cheras MP Tan Kok Wai’s political secretary to sit on the board.
Loh, who was the former Federal Territory DAP state secretary was picked for his strong grassroots support.
“Loh is an excellent candidate for the board; he has vast experience in community service with local government knowledge.
“He is a resident of Selangor and can speak several languages,’’ said Tan.
“His political background is irrelevant as the current members of the DBKL board are political appointees from Umno, MCA, MIC and Gerakan anyway. I think what is important here is performance and Loh has proven that he is more than capable,’’ added Tan.He also said the matter had been delayed too long as the appointment of Selangor reps should have been done last June.
“Even though Pakatan government took over Selangor in March 2008, we allowed the Selangor reps from the previous BN government to stay on despite having the right to replace them, “ he added.
When asked to comment on the delay of appointments recently, Khalid confirmed there was a delay, but added a suitable candidate had been selected and an announcement will be made soon.
“As to the other candidate, we have to look at it very seriously because there must be a consensus in regards to representation.
“The person must be politically affiliated to the PR government and professionally respected too,’’ said Khalid.
The said candidate will be recommended to the Selangor Sultan for his endorsement at the end of the month.
DBKL advisory board members are appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on the recommendation of the prime minister as stipulated in the Federal Capital Act 1960.
It is no secret that Selangor has been wanting to get on the board as it would enable the Pakatan-led government of Selangor to be represented on the board the first time in 30 years.
The current advisory board members
Chairman - Datuk Seri Ahmad Fuad Ismail
1) Datuk Bakaruddin Othman - Federal Territories Ministry
2 Datuk Mustapa Kamal Mohd Yusof - Seputeh Umno
3) Datuk Yahaya Mat Ghani@Abbas - Batu Umno
4) Datuk Sharifah Aminah Syed Ahmad - Lembah Pantai Umno
5) Ramanathan Chinnu - Batu MIC
6) Lim Si Pin - Batu Gerakan
7) Datuk Ir Abdul Latif Mohd Som
8) Datuk Himmat Singh - EPU of Prime Minister’s Department

Selangor may replace reps on DBKL board
By BAVANI M Thursday February 12, 2009 Star Metro
ALTHOUGH the remaining six members of the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) advisory board are expected to be political appointees from Umno, MCA, Gerakan and MIC, there is still the possibility of the opposition getting representation on the board.
According to the Rules and Regulations of the Advisory Board of the City of Kuala Lumpur 1989, the board must have 15 members, with the Federal Territories Ministry, the Finance Ministry, and the Economic Planning Unit of the Prime Minister’s Department having one representative each, and the Selangor state government having two representatives.
The two current Selangor representatives – Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) chairman Datuk Setia Mohamad Adzib Mohd Isa and lawyer Mah Hang Yew – were appointed by the previous Barisan Nasional state government and their terms will only expire next year.
If the Pakatan Rakyat-controlled state government were to replace the two incumbent Selangor representatives with its own nominated members, then the opposition alliance will get to be represented on the board.
According to local government expert Derek Fernandez, if Mentri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim wants to replace the current representatives from Selangor although they have not completed their term, he has the legal right to do so.
“He has the power to do that. But the mentri besar would most probably allow the current representatives to serve out their term,’’ Derek said.
When contacted, Khalid confirmed that the state was reviewing the situation and will be getting feedback from the current Selangor appointees.
“If they are able to provide value-added representation to the state then we will retain them,’’ he said.
Khalid, who is also the Bandar Tun Razak MP, said that the best people to represent the residents of Kuala Lumpur were the 11 MPs elected by the people and it would be wise for the mayor to recognise that fact.
Khalid also acknowledged the fact that the advisory board had not been as effective as it should be as members only met six times a year and the mayor could override decisions made by the advisors.
During the first meeting with the Pakatan Rakyat MPs last month, mayor Datuk Ahmad Fuad Ismail rejected their request to be represented on the advisory board.
The current line-up has been criticised for being pro-development.
The recent appointment of Real Estate and Housing Developers Association (Rehda) chairman Datuk Michael Yam and architect Datuk Ruslan Khalid as members has drawn mixed reactions from city residents who feel that they were are pro-development and may have vested interests.
The current advisory board members are:
1) Datuk Bakaruddin Othman - Federal Territories Ministry
2) Datuk Abdul Rashid Maidin - Engineer
3) Datuk Setia Mohamad Adzib Mohd Isa - Selangor Appointee
4) Tan Sri Mohamad Noor Abdul Rahim
5) Himmat Singh - Prime Minister’s Department (EPU)
6) Datuk Esa Mohamed - Town Planner
7) Mah Hang Yew - Lawyer (Selangor appointee)
8) Datuk Ruslan Khalid - Architect
9) Datuk Michael K.C Yam - Rehda

雪蘇丹旨意普通人民擔任 吉隆坡市局諮委員2空缺
行动党全国副主席兼蕉赖区国会议员陳國偉說，雪州蘇丹並未接受民聯雪州政府所推薦的兩名吉隆坡市政局諮詢委員會成員人選，所以有關名額依然懸空。
他說，根據當年吉隆坡從雪州分割出來，成為中央政府管轄地區后，規定雪州政府可以委任兩名子民擔任市政局諮詢委員會成員。 他說，之前吉隆坡市政局諮詢委員會成員一向由國陣委任，惟民聯于308掌握雪州政權后，理應由民聯委任兩名固打成員。 “可是，當時國陣成員拒絕辭職，因此我們便等待3年任期屆滿，即去年5月31日，照理6月1日由民聯代表接任。”
陳國偉說，民聯稍后向雪州蘇丹推薦兩名人選，即行動黨社青团总秘书兼聯邦直轄區州財政羅志興及前市長丹斯里耶谷的兒子依布拉欣耶谷。 “惟蘇丹拒絕了兩名人選，原因是兩人擁有政治背景，蘇丹旨意要普通人民擔任諮詢委員。”
