50 parking lots in TTDI vanish overnight

Posted: 04 May 2011 11:35 PM PDT

TTDI residents and visitors want City Hall to explain why 50 public parking lots in Jalan Tun Mohd Fuad 4 have been converted into a no-parking zone. — Picture by Hasriyasyah Sabudin

Residents of and visitors to Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI) are puzzled by the disappearance of 50 public parking bays in Jalan Tun Mohd Fuad 4. They say the bays on the road opposite the high-rise Sinaran TTDI condominium vanished last week.
To solve the mystery of the missing bays, Streets went on a check last Friday. It was revealed that the lines marking the individual bays had been tarred over and a yellow line, stretching the length of the road, had been painted on to indicate no-parking. However, a City Hall parking ticket dispenser was still standing, as was the signboard indicating the site as public parking space. The change was apparently unknown to some drivers, including foreigners, who parked there and even dutifully placed parking coupons on their dashboards.
C.Y. Sia, is among those unaware of the change. During a visit to TTDI last week, he parked there, thinking it was a legal parking spot -- and was issued with a summons. Sia, a retiree who lives inBandar Utama, said: "There are limited parking bays in the area. Private parking lots here are expensive, costing RM2 an hour, while City Hall lot rates are only 50 sen an hour."
TTDI resident Ng Ah Hooi wants to know how the parking bays were removed without the residents' knowledge. "Neither the residents nor the public were informed, it is as though it happened overnight," he said. The businessman in his 50s lives in Jalan Rahim Kajai and drives to Jalan Tun Mohd Fuad 4 daily to run errands. He said the parking bays were needed in the traffic-congested area. "If legal parking space is not available, motorists will have no choice but to park their vehicles indiscriminately or illegally, which will worsen the congestion here. "This area is high-density, with many high-rise condominiums, offices and a market. "People will start parking on double lines and dividers, and we could end up like our 'neighbours' in Uptown, Damansara Utama, who are facing serious parking problems," he said.
Another TTDI resident J.K.T. Hin, 64, said City Hall should focus instead on Jalan Aminuddin Baki, which is plagued by indiscriminate parking. "Why hasn't City Hall done anything about the haphazard parking problem in Jalan Aminuddin Baki and Lorong Rahim Kajai 14? "It should consider putting up no-parking and towing-zone signboards, especially inJalan Aminuddin Baki, which is a double-parking hot spot," said the retiree.
Meanwhile, Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng has called for an explanation from City Hall. He said he had sent an official letter to KL Mayor Datuk Seri Ahmad Fuad Ismail on April 27. His service centre has been flooded by complaints on the matter in the the past week. He said he received an average of 20 complaints daily from visitors to the commercial district who had been issued with summonses for parking in Jalan Tun Mohd Fuad 4. "It is possible that the developer of Sinaran TTDI could have removed the bays without City Hall's consent," Lim said. "If it has received City Hall's consent, however, the road, which is a public road, has to be re-gazetted. "The re-gazettement process takes a minimum of six months. The authorities would have to table the proposal in Parliament, get feedback from the public, go back to Parliament to get a vote, and get the King's consent. After all that is done, they would have to officially inform the public of the change in the newpapers," he said.
UDA Holdings Bhd, the developer of Sinaran TTDI, was unavailable for comment at press time.

MCA Trying To Hide Its Ineffectiveness In Improving The Livelihood Of The People(en/cn)

MCA Trying To Hide Its Ineffectiveness In Improving The Livelihood Of The People And Complete Failure To Prevent Rising Costs As Shown By The 20 Cents Increase In RON 97 Petrol To RM2.90 Per Liter

Former Wanita chief Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz's rejection of Utusan Malaysia and Perkasa's 1 Melayu, 1 Bumi movement because it will threaten Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's 1 Malaysia is not echoed by other top UMNO leaders. In fact, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin has refused to disagree with the 1Melayu,1 bumi movement or even repeat Najib's evasive answer of it being a only personal opinion of Utusan Malaysia's editors.

DAP regrets that instead of mounting a campaign against Utusan Malaysia provocative, extremist and dangerous ideology, MCA Deputy President Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai has chosen instead to label DAP as real racists. What happened to MCA's previous loud calls to boycott Utusan?

Has this latest MCA boycott campaign quietly fizzled out because of fear of Muhyiddin warnings that boycotting Utusan Malaysia could risk muzzling the voice of the Malay community as Utusan represented the voice of the Malays? It is inconceivable that a newspaper that endorses hatred, violence, racial dominance or supremacy and wants to celebrate the bloody May 13 tragedy that killed innocent Malaysians as a holy day, can represent the voice of the Malays.

No one is surprised that MCA has once again shown that it would do UMNO's bidding by abandoning its proposed boycott Utusan campaign and obediently heed the "advice" given by Muhyiddin. However, it is surprising that MCA has instead decided to launch into a ferocious and rabid attack on DAP as the real racists. Clearly MCA feels that DAP is easier to bully than Utusan Malaysia a classic case of fearing the wicked and bullying the good.

MCA has no right to label DAP as racists when DAP is a multi-racial party fighting for all Malaysians regardless of race, religion, gender or even political affiliation. This is proven by PR's good governance and record of treating all equally. Instead it is MCA and UMNO that are the real racists for fighting only for the Chinese or only for the Malays respectively.

There is no need for MCA to use the "empty fortress" strategm by threatening and frightening the Chinese voters to vote for MCA or else there will be no Chinese representation in government. MCA hopes to claw back popular support by using this "empty fortress" strategy to force the Chinese community to turn and run away from DAP.

MCA can easily regain lost popular support if MCA dares to fight the injustices, abuses of power and corruption perpetrated by UMNO. Sadly MCA has chosen to submit to UMNO's dominance and play UMNO's racial game of divide and rule. How can Liow Tiong Lai claim that this historic decision is a democratic one when it strikes against the basic democratic right of the voters to choose freely without fear of favour?

MCA is trying to distract attention from its ineffectiveness to improve the livelihood of the people and complete failure to prevent rising costs as shown by the 20 cents increase in RON 97 petrol to RM2.90 per liter.

民主行动党秘书长兼巴眼区国会议员林冠英于2011年5月5日在吉隆坡发表声明：

RON97汽油价格又上调20仙至每公升2令吉90仙，马华还想掩饰自己没有能力改善人民生活水平、也完全没有能力阻止物价上涨的事实。

前巫统妇女组主席丹斯里拉菲达阿兹拒绝《马来西亚前锋报》和土著权威组织倡导的"一个马来人，一个土著"运动，因为这将威胁首相拿督斯里纳吉的"一个马来西亚"，证明其他巫统领袖并不响应。事实上，副首相丹斯里慕尤丁不愿反对"一个马来人，一个土著"，甚至像纳吉那样逃避问题，指说这只是《马来西亚前锋报》编辑的个人意见。

马华没有针对《前锋报》这种煽动性、极端和危险的意识形态发起反对运动，其署理主席拿督廖中莱反而将行动党标签为真正的种族主义者，行动党对此感到遗憾。马华之前大声说要抵制《前锋报》有何下文？

马华最近抵制《前锋报》的运动已经不了了之？因为他们害怕慕尤丁所发出的警告，后者曾说《前锋报》代表马来人的声音，因此抵制这份报纸可能会因压抑马来社群的声音而有风险。这是不可思议的，《前锋报》宣导仇恨、暴力、种族至上和霸权，它甚至要庆祝许多无辜马来西亚人被杀害的"血腥513"，将之列为神圣的日子，这种报纸竟然可以代表马来人的声音。

对于马华再次服从巫统的命令和慕尤丁的劝告，放弃抵制《前锋报》，没有人会感到惊讶。不过，马华反而指行动党是真正的种族主义，决定对行动党发动穷凶极恶的攻击，却是出乎意料的。很明显地，马华欺善怕恶，觉得行动党比《前锋报》好欺负。

马华没有资格将行动党标签为种族主义者，行动党是多元种族政党，不分种族、宗教、性别或政治背景为全国人民而斗争。这已经从民联的良好施政和公平对待各族的记录可以证明。相反地，马华和巫统才是种族主义者，因为马华只为华人而斗争、巫统只为马来人而斗争。

马华也没有必要摆"空城计"，用这种"不投马华就没有华裔代表"的策略来吓唬及威胁华裔选民。马华希望通过"空城计"逼使华社远离行动党，让马华赢回一点支持率。

如果马华敢敢地反对巫统所做着的不公义、贪污滥权之事，马华可以轻易地挽回支持率。可惜，马华选择屈服于巫统至上的淫威，并玩弄巫统"分而治之"的种族游戏。廖中莱怎么可以说这项历史性的决定是民主的决定？它完全违背"选民无畏无惧地投票"的民主原则。

RON97汽油价格又上调20仙至每公升2令吉90仙，马华还想转移视线，企图掩饰自己没有能力改善人民生活水平、也完全没有能力阻止物价上涨的事实。

MCA’s “Empty Fortress” An Empty Threat As MCA Has Never Resisted The Temptations Of Privilege And Perks Associated With Posts And Positions To Fight For Principles Of Right And Wrong.(en/cn)

Posted: 04 May 2011 01:33 AM PDT

The swearing-in of Datuk Lee Kim Shin as Sarawak assistant infrastructure development and communications minister yesterday has exposed the BN's "empty fortress" strategy to frighten the Chinese voters to vote for BN or else there will be no Chinese representation in government as an empty threat. This empty nest strategy is hoped to force the Chinese community to turn and run away from DAP.

Clearly such threats are made before elections but when posts and positons are offered after elections, as happened to SUPP Datuk Wong Soon Koh and Datuk Lee Kim Shin, BN leaders will never be able to resist the temptation of the perks and privileges available to fight for principles of right and wrong. What is sad is that MCA President Datuk Seri Chua Soi Lek had allowed both Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin to racialise the Sarawak elections results instead of a democratic call for change..

No one believes MCA would carry out its threat to reject positions or posts should the voters reject MCA again at the next general elections. After all if voters have rejected BN, why is it that MCA dare not withdraw from BN? Whether MCA wins big or loses big in general elections, MCA would continue to be given 4 minor Ministerial posts.

Just like Gerakan President Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon who promised during the 2008 general elections that he would reject any back-door appointment as Senator to become a Minister or SUPP's Datuk Wong Soon Koh and DAtuk Lee who secretly accepted their appointments in defiance of their party, no MCA leader would reject the opportunity for such high posts that they have been fighting for all their political career.

Chua Soi Lek has been exposed as an unprincipled leader by ex-MCA President Datuk Ong Tee Keat for Chua not practicing what he preaches by directing its sole Assemblyman and EXCO in Perak or Negeri Sembilan to resign. Neither has Chua the courage to direct its 4 Ministers in Cabinet to resign as MCA lost badly in the 2008 general elections. This agains confirms MCA's struggle is not about principles but for positions, not fighting for the people but for posts.

After all, it has proven time and time again that whether or not MCA is represented in Cabinet makes no difference as MCA as merely puppets of UMNO. Issues affecting Malaysians are ignored and corruption allowed to run rampant until RM888 billion of illicit or "black" money was secretly and illegally taken out from 2000-2008.

When UMNO made a unilateral decision to invite PAS to join BN, MCA dare not protest UMNO's dictatorial decision as undemocratic. And yet MCA dares to threaten Malaysians for exercising their democratic rights not to vote for MCA.

马华的"空城计"只是在吓唬人，因为马华从来不会为了捍卫什么大是大非的原则，抗拒过官职、官位带来的特权和好处的诱惑。

拿督李景胜昨天宣誓就任砂州助理基建和通讯部长，这证明国阵的"空城计"策略是用来恐吓华裔选民，要他们投国阵否则政府内就没有华裔代表。这个策略是为了逼使华裔社会远离行动党。

很明显地这是大选前的威胁，但是，大选后他们还是会得到一官半职，正如人联党的拿督黄顺舸和拿督李景胜那样，国阵领袖从来不会为了捍卫什么大是大非的原则，抗拒官职、官位带来的特权和好处的诱惑。令人伤心的是，马华总会长拿督斯里蔡细历竟允许首相拿督斯里纳吉和副首相丹斯里慕尤丁将砂州选举成绩种族化，而不是把它当成人民求变的民主呼唤。

没有人会相信马华会如他们所威胁的那样，当选民在来届大选拒绝马华时，他们会真的拒绝任何官职或官位。再说，如果选民拒绝国阵，为什么马华不敢退出国阵？不论马华在大选里赢多赢少，他们还是可以保有四个次要的部长职。

正如民政党主席丹斯里许子根博士在2008年大选承诺，他绝不会"走后门"成为上议员及部长，或像人联党拿督黄顺舸，违背党的意愿，秘密地接受被委任为砂州内阁成员，没有任何马华领袖会拒绝及放弃他们一直在政治事业所争取的高官机会。

前马华总会长拿督翁诗杰已经揭穿蔡细历是一个没有原则的领袖，他不能"讲到做到"，指示他的霹雳州和森美兰州行政议员辞职。蔡细历也没有勇气叫马华四名内阁部长辞职，因为马华在2008年大选中惨败。这再次证明，马华的斗争不是为了原则，而是为了官职，不是为了人民，而是为了官位。

说到底，各种事情一次又一次地证明，马华有没有在内阁里并不重要，因为马华只是巫统的傀儡。很多影响马来西亚人的课题都没有受到关注，贪污还是那么猖獗，以致在2000-2008年期间，我国共流失了8880亿令吉的非法资金或"黑钱"。

当巫统单方面地决定邀请回教党加入国阵时，马华也不敢反对巫统这种不民主的独裁决定。反过来，还敢威胁马来西亚人行使不投给马华的民主权利。
