UMNO’s Senator Ezam Mohamad Nor’s Arrest Proves That Penang UMNO Is A Coward For Denying UMNO’s Involvement In A Violent Illegal Demonstration

Posted: 02 Jul 2011 07:34 PM PDT

UMNO's Senator Ezam Mohamad Nor's Arrest Proves That Penang UMNO Is A Coward For Denying UMNO's Involvement In A Violent Illegal Demonstration On 1.7.2011 In Komtar And The Penang Bridge That Disrupted Traffic For 10 Km And Attacked Two Reporters.

The Penang state government is shocked by Penang UMNO State Liaison Chairman Datuk Zainal Abidin Osman's blatant and open lie that UMNO is not involved in a violent demonstration on 1.7.2011 in Komtar and the Penang Bridge that severely disrupted traffic for 10 Km and attacked two reporters from Chinese newspapers.

Instead of trying to deny and cover-up UMNO's involvement, Datuk Zainal should have sought public forgiveness and apologised for UMNO's involvement. Video footage of the illegal assembly and the arrest of UMNO Senator Ezam Mohd Nor by the police for illegal assembly proves that UMNO is a coward for trying to deny its involvement and is a classic reminder of the Malay proverb, "baling batu sembunyi tangan".

Is Datuk Zainal going to deny that Ezam is an UMNO member and appointed by UMNO to be a Senator? Ezam had threatened that there is no need to wait for general elections and wanted to do more protests to force me to step down as Chief Minister earlier. Where is UMNO's respect for democracy and my mandate as the rightful elected Chief Minister of Penang?

What is even more detestable is that mainstream media like the New Straits Times(NST) being complicit in UMNO's cowardice and lies by not publishing news that UMNO Senator Ezam was arrested by the police for participating in that violent illegal assembly. No mention was made by NST of 2 reporters being attacked by UMNO nor that the demonstrators had blocked traffic in the middle of the Penang Bridge causing a 10km traffic jam. Penang UMNO and UMNO Youth state leaders were also present at that violent illegal assembly.

7 others were arrested with Ezam including a Perkasa Penang leader Mohd Rizuad Mohd Azudin. This proves again that UMNO is working closely with the racist and anti-non-Malay Perkasa. Gerakan, MCA or MIC must fully explain why they still support an UMNO that works closely with a racist organisation like Perkasa that regards our Chinese women ancestors as prostitutes and Indians as beggars and dogs.

Penang police must take immediate action against those responsible for the serious offence of attacking the two reporters who were taking photographs. Both reporters have lodged police reports and provided evidence of their assailants and their vehicles. Failure by the police to act would only confirm public perception of double-standards that the police only act against PR supporters but allow UMNO to march and disrupt traffic or even beat up reporters unpunished.

Kenyataan Akhbar oleh Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang, Lim Guan Eng pada 3 Julai 2011 di Komtar, George Town.

Penahanan Senator UMNO, Ezam Mohamad Nor membuktikan bahawa UMNO Pulau Pinang takut untuk menafikan penglibatan UMNO dalam demonstrasi pada 1 Julai 2011 di Komtar dan di Jambatan Pulau Pinang sehingga menyebabkan lalulintas sepanjang 10km dan menyerang dua wartawan.

Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang terkejut dengan pembohongan terang- terangan dan terbuka oleh Pengerusi UMNO Negeri Pulau Pinang, Datuk Zainal Abidin Osman bahawa UMNO tidak terlibat dalam demonstrasi ganas pada 1/7/2011 di Komtar dan di Jambatan Pulau Pinang sehingga menyebabkan kesesakan lalu lintas yang teruk sepanjang 10km dan menyerang dua wartawan dari akhbar Cina.

Daripada cuba untuk menafikan dan menutup penglibatan UMNO, Datuk Zainal sepatutnya memohan maaf kepada rakyat di atas penglibatan UMNO ini. Rakaman video perhimpunan haram dan penahanan Senator UMNO, Ezam Mohd Nor oleh pihak polis ketika perhimpunan haram membuktikan UMNO adalah penakut untuk menafikan penglibatan mereka dan mengingatkan kepada pepatah Melayu, "baling batu sembunyi tangan".

Adakah Datuk Zainal akan menafikan bahawa Ezam merupakan ahli UMNO dan dilantik oleh UMNO untuk menjadi Senator? Ezam telah mengecam bahawa tidak perlu menunggu pilihan raya dan mahu melakukan lebih banyak bantahan untuk memaksa saya meletakkan jawatan sebagai Ketua Menteri lebih awal. Di mana letaknya kehormatan UMNO terhadap demokrasi dan mandat saya sebagai Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang yang sah?

Apa yang lebih keji ialah media arus perdana seperti The News Straits Times (NST) terlibat dengan pembohongan UMNO dan tidak menyiarkan berita bahawa Senator UMNO, Ezam telah ditahan oleh polis kerana terlibat dalam perhimpunan haram tersebut. NST juga tidak menyiarkan berita 2 wartawan diserang oleh ahli UMNO atau penunjuk perasaan yang telah menghalang lalu lintas di tengah- tengah Jambatan Pulau Pinang sehingga menyebabkan kesesakan hampir 10km. UMNO Pulau Pinang dan Ketua Pemuda UMNO Negeri juga turut hadir dalam perhimpunan haram tersebut.

7 orang yang ditahan bersama- sama dengan Ezam termasuklah Ketua Perkasa Pulau Pinang, Mohd Rizuad Mohd Azudin. Ini membuktikan sekali lagi bahawa UMNO bekerjasama rapat dengan perkauman dan anti- bukan Melayu. Gerakan, MCA atau MIC mesti menerangkan mengapa mereka masih menyokong UMNO yang bekerjasama rapat dengan organisasi yang mengamalkan perkauman seperti Perkasa yang melabelkan wanita nenek moyang Cina sebagai pelacur dan nenek moyang India sebagai pengemis dan anjing.

Polis Pulau Pinang mesti mengambil tindakan segera terhadap mereka yang bertanggungjawab melakukan kesalahan serius menyerang dua wartawan yang sedang mengambil gambar. Kedua- dua wartawan tersebut telah membuat laporan polis dan menyediakan bukti orang yang menyerang mereka dan kenderaan masing- masing. Kegagalan pihak polis untuk mengambil tindakan hanya akan mengesahkan lagi persepsi masyarakat terhadap sikap double- standard yang pihak polis hanya akan bertindak terhadap penyokong PR tetapi tidak mengambil tindakan terhadap UMNO yang berarak dan mengganggu lalu lintas atau memukul wartawan.

槟州首席部长林冠英于2011年7月3日在槟城乔治市光大发表声明:

巫统上议员依占莫哈末诺被逮捕证明了槟城巫统是懦夫,他们否认巫统参与2011年7月1日在光大与槟城大桥的暴力非法集会,造成交通阻塞长达10公里,以及两名记者遭攻击。

槟州政府感到惊讶,槟州巫统联委会主席拿督再纳阿比丁竟然睁眼说瞎话,公开声称巫统没有参与2011年7月1日光大与槟城大桥的暴力集会,上述集会造成交通阻塞长达10公里,以及两名华文报记者遭攻击。

欲盖弥彰,与其否认巫统参与集会,拿督再纳应该就巫统参加暴力集会一事向公众道歉。非法集会的录影以及巫统上议员依占因参与非法集会而被警方逮捕,都证明巫统是懦夫,不敢承认曾经参与非法集会, 简直是马来谚语 "baling batu sembunyi tangan"所形容的敢做不敢当。

拿督再纳是不是要说依占不是巫统党员、也不是巫统委任的上议员?依占之前甚至威胁说不必等到全国大选,他要举行更多示威来逼我下台,卸下首席部长一职。巫统是否尊重民主以及我合法受委托成为槟州首席部长?

最令人厌恶的就是像《新海峡时报》这样的主流媒体,竟然与巫统一班懦夫同流合污,这家报章说谎,他们没有刊登巫统上议员依占因参与非法集会而遭警方逮捕的新闻。更不用指望他们会报道两名记者被巫统攻击、以及示威人群在槟城大桥中央阻挡交通,导致交通阻塞10公里。槟城巫统与巫青团州领袖当时都身在这场暴力非法集会当中。

另外七名与依占同时被捕的人士包括土著权威组织槟州领袖莫哈末里祖阿。这再次证明巫统与种族主义、反非马来人的土著权威组织紧密合作。民政、马华或国大党必须解释,为什么他们还支持一个与种族主义组织如:土权组织紧密合作的巫统?他们指华人的女性先辈为妓女、印度人先辈为乞丐和狗。

槟州警方必须马上采取行动,对付犯下攻击摄影记者罪行的人士。上述两名记者已经向警方报案,并提供了与攻击者及交通工具有关的证据。如果警方没有采取行动,只能加深公众对"警方持双重标准"的印象,那就是警方只对付民联支持者,但是却纵容巫统游行、扰乱交通、甚至殴打记者。

Kerajaan Pusat Tidak Bantu Selangor Percepat Selesai Isu Air

Posted: 02 Jul 2011 06:00 PM PDT

Friday, 27 May 2011 | Ruangan: Berita

SHAH ALAM 27 Mei - Tindakan kerajaan pusat menolak cadangan Kerajaan Selangor mengenai idea penstrukturan semula air di negeri ini menyukarkan penyelesaian proses itu dilakukan.

Hal ini kerana, tindakan kerajaan Pusat yang enggan menimbang sebaik mungkin tawaran yang diberikan kerajaan negeri  yang menyebabkan isu ini masih berlarutan sehingga sekarang, kata ahli parlimen Klang, Charles Santiago.

" Apa yang lebih malang ialah, kerajaan Persekutuan pun tidak ada apa-apa cadangan yang baru, pandangan mereka ialah untuk tidak lakukan apa-apa perubahan mengenai cara untuk menguruskan, yang pasti mereka takut untuk cakap dengan terus terang, oleh kerana itu apa-apa cadangan yang dibentangkan kerajaan negeri ditolak dalam mesyuarat," kata Charles.

Media hari ini melaporkan Menteri Tenaga, Teknologi Hijau dan Air, Datuk Peter Chin Fah Kui berkata, kerajaan Selangor gagal menyusun langkah sesuai untuk mengatasi masalah ini sehingga mengakibatkan kerajaan Pusat terpaksa masuk campur.

Bagaimanapun, menurut Charles, kenyataan menteri itu amat tidak bertanggungjawab memandangkan umum mengetahui kerajaan negeri beberapa kali membentangkan tawaran kepada empat syarikat konsesi di negeri ini namun "diganggu" oleh kerajaan Pusat.

"Apa yang dikatakan oleh Datuk Peter itu memang tidak patut dan tidak bertanggungjawab sebab kita telah lakukan banyak cadangan tetapi ditolak dan perkara ini membuatkan ia berlarutan dalam jangka masa yang lama,"katanya.

Charles menyatakan kerajaan Selangor menyedari kebimbangan pemegang- pemegang bon air susulan laporan bahawa bon mungkin menghadapi penurunan rating sekiranya perbincangan penyusunan semula industri air tidak diselesaikan.

Bagaimanapun, Menteri Besar Selangor Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim yakin dapat menyelesaikan isu dengan kerajaan Persekutuan bagi menyusun semula perkhidmatan air seperti yang diperuntukkan bawah Akta Industri Perkhidmatan Air 2006 (WSIA).

Malangnya, kerajaan Pusat pula tekad mengambil alih bon air dari kerajaan Selangor atas alasan menstabilkan industri air Selangor.

Justeru menurut Charles, Selangor perlu diberi hak dan ruang dalam menyelesaikan masalah ini.

"Kalau Peter Chin tidak mampu uruskan biar kerajaan negeri uruskan, dan kini dia bagi pembelaan kepada pemegang bon dan jelas tindakan ini tidak masuk akal, ini menunjukkan keadaan sedia ada iaitu menggunakan pihak swasta menguruskan air (yang terbukti) telah gagal,"katanya lagi.

DAP hari ini mendedahkan, kerajaan membayar 73% lebih tinggi daripada nilai pasaran walaupun sepatutnya baki bon tersebut harus diselesaikan oleh pemegang saham syarikat terbabit.

Untuk rekod, kerajaan Persekutuan telah memberi lampu hijau kepada Kerajaan Selangor pada Januari 2008 untuk menyatukan pemegang konsesi air ini di bawah syarikat milik penuh Kerajaan Selangor, Kumpulan Darul Ehsan Berhad (KDEB).

Selepas Pakatan Rakyat memerintah pada Mac 2008, Menteri Besar memutuskan untuk menstruktur semula industri air dengan menawarkan pampasan kepada pemegang konsesi sebanyak RM5.7 billion.

Pemegang konsesi menolak tawaran ini kerana mendakwa jumlahnya tidak cukup untuk menampung hutang-hutang yang ditanggung syarikat konsesi yang berjumlah RM6.4 billion.

Selepas semakan semula empat bulan kemudian, Kerajaan Selangor menawarkan pampasan sebanyak RM9.3 billion dan tawaran ini diterima konsesi SPLASH dan ABBAS.

Pada Mac 2010, kerajaan persekutuan membuat tawaran kepada pemegang konsesi berjumlah RM10.3 billion tetapi ditolak oleh Puncak Niaga Sdn Bhd (PNSB) dan Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (SYABAS).

Pada Januari 2011, Kerajaan Selangor sekali lagi membuat tawaran pengambilalihan termasuk menawarkan arbitrasi antarabangsa (International Arbitration) dalam memastikan pengambilalihan dilaksanakan dengan integriti dan adil kepada semua pemegang konsesi.

SDB Should Talk, Not Force

DEVOTEES TO SELANGOR DREDGING: DON'T EVICT US, LET'S TALK
by LEVEN WOON on 9 Jun, 2011

The Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) should not approve a private property project at the site of two temples in Section 19, Petaling Jaya until an amicable settlement is reached with the company behind it, said Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua today.

Pua said he would lobby MBPJ about the situation faced by an Indian temple and a neighbouring Chinese temple and ask the authorities to defer its approval of the project.

Pua's statement comes after both temples received legal notice on May 16 from landowner Selangor Dredging Berhad (SDB), requiring them to evict the temples immediately.

Pua said the notice was served in bad faith as the temple committees have been negotiating with the property company since March, which he has been mediating.

"As landowner they are entitled to issue legal notice, but as a government we are also entitled to defer approval of their development," he told reporters and some 50 devotees at Sri Maha Mariamman temple this morning.

The property company put up the notice board required by law to inform the public of the project last week, but the last date for objection was backdated to April 19.

Pua (right) said SDB was well-aware of the existence of the 50-year-old Hindu temple and the 45-year-old Tow Boo Keong temple when it bought over the land in 2006.

"In 2007, MBPJ had deferred a development approval for the land until SDB produced a full-fledged plan and provides the temples with 10,000 sq ft of alternative land each.

"We request the developer to seriously consider this as part of the resolution," he said.

He stressed that the devotees are willing to negotiate with the developer to reach an amicable settlement.

Sri Maha Mariaman temple committee secretary, Raman Muniandy (left), said they prefer the temple to remain where it is. He said SDB once offered to compensate the temple with RM300,000 for its relocation, but it was rejected by the devotees.

"This is the only Hindu temple in Petaling Jaya Utara; we don't want any cent of compensation, we just want it to remain here," he said.

Tow Boo Keong temple committee chairman, Tan Kam Piew, said the temple should ideally remain in the community because its devotees are mainly from the Damansara Bistari flats, next door.

He noted that the entire place around Jalan SS2/72, where SS 2 Mall and Ken Damansara 3 Condominium are situated, were previously the site of Kampung Damansara Dalam.

"The two temples were the places of worship for the villagers, who have since been relocated to Damansara Bistari low-cost flats," he said.

SDB's corporate communication department head, Yeoh Guan Jin, when contacted, clarified that the legal notice was merely to inform the temple committees of the new landowner.

"Nowhere in the letter is stated that the temples will be demolished or the devotees will be evicted," he said.

He added that SDB is prepared to negotiate and agree on a reasonable amount of compensation.

Footnote by Tony Pua:

Please-la SDB, we are not illiterate children - "legal notice was merely to inform the temple committees of the new landowner"? You must be kidding me. Let me quote you your letter sent on 16 May 2011 from your friendly neighbourhood lawyers, Soo Thien Ming & Nashrah:

"3. We hereby give you notice that your actions amount to trespass on our client's Land and our client WILL NOT HESITATE to institute legal proceedings and pursue ALL APPROPRIATE REMEDIES under the law against you WITHOUT ANY FURTHER NOTICE."

Yes, the lawyer's letter to the temple committee sounds so friendly and amicable. Please don't try to mislead the public to save your reputation. It is extremely bad faith that you have issued letters like this to threaten the temples while we were in the midst of negotiations.
