Prayers, seminar for Beng Hock’s first death anniversary
By Neville Spykerman July 07, 2010

SHAH ALAM, July 7 — Special prayers and a seminar will be held by DAP to mark the one year anniversary of political aide Teoh Beng Hock’s mysterious death on July 16.

DAP National Socialist Youth secretary Loh Chee Heng said the prayers will be held at 10am outside Plaza Masalam, where Teoh was questioned overnight by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) last July 15 and later found dead a day later.

The Selangor MACC was based on the 14th floor of the building but shifted out months after the death of the 30-year-old political aide, ostensibly to serve the public better.

Loh said Teoh’s parents, former superior Selangor executive councillor Ean Yong Hian Wah, and Serdang MP Teo Nie Ching will be attending the prayers.

Later the same night, a seminar will be held at the Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall to explain developments in Teoh’s case, which is the subject of an on-going inquest.

Top DAP leaders including Ipoh Timur MP Lim Kit Siang, Cheras MP Tan Kok Wai, and Puchong MP Gobing Singh Deo, who is also the Teoh family’s lawyer, are scheduled to speak at the seminar that starts at 8pm.

The death of the former journalist, who was questioned as a witness in MACC’s investigations into the alleged misused of state allocations, is still shrouded in mystery.

Police initially classified the case as sudden death, indicating that Teoh had jump to his death.

But the government was forced to hold an inquest to determine if there was foul play, following widespread public disbelief and anger.

His family is also disputing official accounts and have pointed out that Teoh was due to marry his pregnant girlfriend the day he was found dead.

A Royal Commission is also supposed to investigate if Teoh’s human rights were violated while he was questioned.

But the Commission will only begin their probe at the conclusion of the inquest.

On July 17, more prayers are planned at Teoh’s final resting place at the Nirvana Memorial Park in Semenyih between 8am and 10am.

“Invitations have been sent out to associations and non-government organisations to send representatives,” Loh said.

20万，多么吸引人的数字！洗黑钱！！！

20万，多么吸引人的数字！单靠6个个人储蓄户头横行雪隆一带便能够拥有它！一个芳年29岁的男生，来自中马，今早在爸爸的陪同下现身在吉隆坡商业调查组；口口声声在我面前喊冤枉。不知道自己的户头分别过账了马币20万！说的眼眶带泪，我问他将银行簿子和提款卡交了给谁，他说朋友。心想朋友好歹也有个名字吧！从复问题，答案也是一样朋友，但是不知道名字！心中暗骂TMD，29岁人可以任由朋友领了6本自己的银行户头和提款卡，不过问！好了现在出事了，涉及利用户头洗黑钱达20万，报案书来自吉隆坡，雪兰莪，柔佛和彭亨。他说他什么都不知道！“你有做过吗？（洗黑钱），你完全没有过问朋友为何户头有那么多钱？答案：没有。朋友又没有给你好处？答案：没有。我的语气加重了，昨晚UNCLE LEONG 告诉我朋友给你100块，你现在告诉我没有？低头，不敢直视我。这个孩子玩蛋了！讲给鬼听都不会相信他没有涉案；何况他要面对的是商业调查组情报科马打，他们盘问技巧更是专业。陪同他们两父子进入后，他独自录口供，马打礼貌上应酬了我一下跟他了解案情，所有银行闭路电视和领款的ATM卡对他不利。从早上10点到下午1点录取口供，他被延长扣留，协助调查20万洗黑钱案件。他爸爸还是相信孩子是无辜的。而我做了半天傻子，浪费时间陪一个嫌犯。如果他说的话是事实，我不懂要称赞他还是笑他蠢！

披着羊毛的野狼！！

13岁的青春岁月。她应该是呆在学校内追求学问，过着无忧无虑的校园生活吧！瘦小的身躯，第一次见面，在办事处，我无法想象的到那只披着羊毛的色狼怎么可以这样下手。她心目中的情郎，转变了身躯成为了一只禽兽不如的野狼！她的贞洁，就这样在时代广场后面的廉价酒店给了它。
我望着她，感触良多，才13岁，她懂得发生什么事吗？我问她，她说不是志愿的！她选择了沉默，我只能告诉她最基本的人权和前往医院做详细检查应该注意的事项。
她的爸爸（继父）和妈妈在昨晚（23.3.2011）严刑叩问下，她承认了跟前度31岁的男友（狼友）发生了性关系。时间是晚上7点多，我在行动党武吉免登区的千人晚宴上接到了她的爸妈的来电，语气凸现焦急和气愤，因为女儿的贞操给只狼欺骗了。较后她的爸妈气急败坏的赶来宴会地点，我也现场写妥了警方的报案书，让他们马上前往半山巴警局投报。原本兴高采烈的参与宴会，被这突如其来的“奇难杂症”破坏了胃口，提早离开了宴席。接这份工作尽10年，这个案件才让我深深感触身为父母的那份责任和痛。
刚刚在傍晚5点多（24.3.2011）女孩的妈妈来电，差点在吉隆坡中央医院昏倒；原来女儿还被那只狼半威迫下口交和肛交。我联络了吉隆坡警察总部1楼家庭防范暴力组警长，他们已经在同一时间扣押了那只31岁的狼。
没有想过将事件上报，没有想过宣传，没有想过会接到这样的案件，至少我的同理心还在。
神，用您的大爱宽恕有罪的人们吧！请她快点脱离罪恶的深坑。。。。愿神赐福她和家人平安喜乐。

Malaysian Said NO to Nuclear P!

拿督斯里陈华贵
能源的、绿色工艺和水源部部长

尊敬的拿督斯里,

要求取消兴建核能发电厂的计划

我们谨此表达槟州政府的立场，即我们不同意联邦政府在我国兴建核能发电厂。
2. 槟州行政议会也已经决定，绝不会允许有关当局在槟州任何地方兴建核能发电厂。
3. 拥有专家及先进科技的日本也面对世界历史上仅次于25年彻诺比核危机的问题，这项计划必须取消。必须注意的是，与日本相比，我国的核反应堆技术是非常有限的。再说，其它科技先进国如德国及世界第二大经济国都已经在他们的国内停止兴建核电厂计划。马来西亚人民的安危应该优先，而不是拿如此大的风险来下赌注。
4. 此外，我们对于大部份联邦政府进行的不良工程记录感到没有信心，例如发生过的不只是天花板漏水甚至倒塌的问题。如果体育馆、学校甚至巴士总站的天花板都可以倒塌，要我们如何对高风险的核能发电厂有安全及稳固有信心？
5. 我们请求联邦政府拒绝在马来西亚兴建核能发电厂做为替代能源的建议。还有很多替代能源有待开发。
谢谢.

Yang Berhomat Dato' Sri,

MERAYU RANCANGAN PEMBINAAN LOJI NUKLEAR UNTUK PENJANAAN TENAGA ELEKTRIK DIBATALKAN
Dengan segala hormatnya Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang ingin merakamkan pendirian tidak bersetuju kami terhadap rancangan Kerajaan Persekutuan untuk membina loji nuklear di negara kita.
2. Adalah juga dimaklumkan bahawa Mesyuarat Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang sudahpun memutuskan untuk tidak membenarkan sama sekali pembinaan loji nuklear di mana-mana kawasan dalam negeri Pulau Pinang.
3. Memandangkan negara Jepun yang memiliki kepakaran dan tahap teknologi yang sangat maju dan progresif kini dihadapi dengan krisis nuklear yang paling serius dalam sejarah dunia sejak bencana Chernobyl 25 tahun lalu, adalah perlu rancangan ini dibatalkan. Perlu diambil perhatian, tahap kawalan teknologi fusion nuklear di negara kita adalah terhad berbanding dengan kepakaran Negara Jepun. Lagipun negara-negara maju dan berteknologi tinggi seperti Jerman dan ekonomi kedua besar dunia negara China telahpun membatalkan rancangan membina loji nuclear dalam negara mereka masing-masing. Keselamatan rakyat Malaysia harus diutamakan dan risiko tinggi ini tidak harus diperjudikan.
4. Sehubungan dengan itu, kami juga tidak yakin dengan rekod prestasi yang kurang memuaskan oleh sesetengah projek Kerajaan Persekutuan yang dijalankan seperti ada bumbung yang bukan sahaja bocor tetapi juga runtuh. Sekiranya bumbung stadium, sekolah dan terminal bas pun boleh runtuh bagaimana kita boleh yakin tentang keselamatan dan kekukuhan sesuatu loji nuklear yang berisiko tinggi dan bahaya?
5. Kami merayu kepada Kerajaan Persekutuan agar menolak cadangan membina loji nuklear sebagai sumber tenaga alternatif di Malaysia. Terdapat pelbagai sumber tenaga alternatif yang lain yang boleh diterokai.
Sekian,

“CEKAP, AKAUNTABILITI DAN TELUS”
“BERKHIDMAT UNTUK NEGARA”

MRT: RICH SAY NO; The Poor Welcome

Rich say don’t need MRT, but poor welcome it
Malaysia Insider 17.2.2011
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 17 — Wealthy residents have dismissed the need for the Klang Valley mass rapid transit (MRT) system, unlike low-income earners who hailed it for its convenience.
Damansara Heights residents’ association president Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Abd Rahaman said his neighbours would likely not use the MRT as they preferred to drive their luxury cars.
“They’ll still go on their Jaguars,” Abdul Aziz told The Malaysian Insider recently.
“People in our area will not use this (the MRT). People from other areas... pass through our area to go to town. That makes the whole place jammed (already),” he added.
Abdul Aziz also pointed out that land was scarce in the affluent neighbourhood, which counts ministers, tycoons and top civil servants as among its residents.
“[There is] no more land in our area. The whole place will be congested,” said Abdul Aziz, a one-time managing director of flag carrier Malaysia Airlines.
“So we want to know exactly where is it and how are they going to plan to do it,” he added.
Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI) residents’ association president Mohd Hatim Abdullah also said his neighbours were unlikely to use the TTDI station, which will be located near the TTDI market.
“People who live there already own four or five cars,” said Hatim.
He added that TTDI residents in Kuala Lumpur also objected to the 1Utama MRT station as it would likely worsen traffic congestion on the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP).
“The LDP now is very congested. During construction period, what will happen to the traffic?” he asked.
“They (the MRT stations) are both at our entry and exit points,” he added.
Hatim pointed out that the proposed location of the 1Utama station was on TTDI land next to the LDP headed towards Kuala Lumpur.
He said TTDI residents wanted the 1Utama station to be moved to a more suitable location nearby, such as the Bandar Utama golf driving range.
The driving range is located behind the 1Utama shopping mall in Petaling Jaya.
“The driving range is perfect,” said Hatim, pointing out that it was larger than the current proposed location.
The RM36.6 billion Klang Valley MRT project will have 35 stations along its first line that stretches 51km from Sungai Buloh to Kajang with four rail interchanges, according to documents released in the project website.
Eight stations between KL Sentral and Maluri will be underground as 9.5km of the Sungai Buloh-Kajang (SBK) line will be built under the capital city.
Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) CEO Mohd Nur Ismal Kamal has reportedly said that the cost of underground works would be five to 10 times higher on a per km basis if the line were to go underground, depending on geological conditions.
Groundworks for the SBK line is due to start this July 16 and will be completed in 2016.
There are two other proposed lines under the MRT.
Hatim also suggested that the TTDI station be relocated to Damansara Uptown, a commercial area.
“It can serve Taman Tun, Tropicana shopping centre, Uptown, DJ (Damansara Jaya), DU (Damansara Utama), (and) Damansara Kim. That area’s perfect,” said Hatim.
Sunway Damansara residents said The Curve MRT station would mar the aesthetic image of their neighbourhood in Petaling Jaya.
“If you look at it, Sunway Damansara and the surrounding areas, Mutiara Damansara, are basically hot market areas,” said Sunway Damansara residents’ association president Winslow Wong.
“With the massive columns to support the MRT line, it’s not going to contribute to the aesthetic value,” he added.
Wong pointed out that the MRT station would cause massive traffic jams on Persiaran Surian, which is already congested during peak hours.
“Persiaran Surian is already very narrow with condominiums on both sides, especially nearer to The Curve,” said Wong.
An environmental impact assessment (EIA) report by the project’s environmental consultant ERE Consulting Group warned that significant traffic congestion would affect Persiaran Surian, the LDP and Jalan Semantan in Damansara Heights.
Bandar Utama residents similarly expressed concerns about traffic congestion that may potentially be caused by the 1 Utama and The Curve MRT stations.
“We are worried about the traffic,” said Bandar Utama residents’ association chairman Lim See Meng.
“The jam will be... backed up all the way to DU,” he said.
Low income-owners like the residents of Kampung Sungai Balak in Kajang, however, welcomed Malaysia’s largest infrastructure project.
“If the project does not affect our houses, we have no problem,” said village head Mohd Tahir Salleh.
The EIA report released on Monday said Kampung Sungai Balak residents may be forced out of their homes, which will be the third time they are affected by land acquisition.
But Tahir said the public display of the alignment showed that the proposed Taman Mesra MRT station avoided the village.
“It involves empty landlots... and goes through old roads,” said Tahir.
Batu 11 Cheras residents also supported the MRT project.
“It is very convenient for our area. So far, no complaints,” said Batu 11 Cheras village head Alex Neo.
Affluent neighbourhoods in other countries have similarly opposed big-ticket development projects that are proposed near them, using initiatives which are termed “Not In My Backyard” (NIMBY).
NIMBY protests reportedly stopped the construction of a railway line from Glasgow Central to East Kilbride in Scotland in 1989. The proposal had involved tunnelling under residents’ back gardens.
The MRT is an entry-point project identified for the Greater Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley National Key Economic Area under the Economic Transformation Programme.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said last December that the implementation of the project is expected to generate a gross national income (GNI) of between RM3 billion and RM4 billion beginning in 2011 until 2020.
He had said that between RM8 billion and RM12 billion was expected to be generated in terms of spin-offs from the construction of the MRT project.
The proposed alignment map for the SBK line is up for public viewing until May 14 at seven locations across the city.
They are Kuala Lumpur City Hall, Petaling Jaya City Council, Shah Alam City Council, Selayang Municipal Council, Kajang Municipal Council as well as the Bangsar LRT station and the SPAD office in Menara Dayabumi.
The public can provide their feedback on the project via email to feedback@kvmrt.com.my or through the SPAD toll free line at 1-800-82-6868.
The detailed environmental assessment impact report has been uploaded for public viewing at the Department of Environment’s website.
