IGP quit rumour: Cracks beginning to appear - Malaysiakini

COMMENT Are cracks beginning to appear in the politico-civil service complex that holds up the edifice of the Umno-dominated BN government?

The politico-civil service complex (corresponding to the military-industrial complex of President Eisenhower's description that referred to the web of business interests that impact governance in the United States) is the interface of interests that connect Umno's top brass with the top tier of the civil service that's supposed to run the country's administrative machinery.

Nobody pretends anymore that the latter is a professional entity, independent of ministerial-executives and loyal, in the crunch, to the state as distinct to the government of the day.

The distinction between the two estates – the elected ministerial executive branch and the professional civil service – was blurred during the Mahathir era to the debilitating detriment of both.

The rumour that circulated late last week that inspector-general of police Musa Hassan had resigned his post, which he denied in comments that were not only ambiguous but ominous in its references to the “underground”, suggest that cracks are beginning to appear in the web of interests that connects Umno's upper crust and the civil service's luminaries.

Musa was quoted as wanting to know from where the word of his resignation had originated – whether from official channels or from the “underground”.

He said he felt sorry for the country if the story of his quitting, which he denied, had emanated from the underground.

Statements of such convolution cannot be reassuring, coming from this important a figure in the country's criminal justice system.

They reflect, nay they reinforce, a widespread perception that a patina of suspicion and mistrust clings to this politico-civil service complex, blurring the lines of responsibility and accountability that should demarcate the two estates and which justify their separate existence.

Dissension and rivalry

Elsewhere in the civil service, in the Attorney-General's Chambers, word has leaked of dissension and rivalry cleaving the top tier of command, making Musa's rumoured 'resignation' another distressing strand in the miasma of suspicion that envelops the politico-civil service complex.

Citizens don't believe the mainstream media's spin on the stories of dissonance coming out of this complex so that the assumption of rumours being taken to be fact, unless expressly proven otherwise, only serve to emphasise the baseness of it all.

Don't be surprised if one of these days, the entire complex will be rent by a mutiny launched by people whose nausea at what is going on prompts them to the kind of surgical action that led Fidel Ramos and Juan Ponce Enrile, army chief and defense secretary respectively in the last days of the Marcos administration, to engineer a putsch in 1986 after what was regarded as an election that was stolen by the dictator.

The episode led to the downfall of Marcos, catalyzed by the action of personnel from within the edifice of government. Corrupt orders cannot be brought down by resistance from oppositionists alone.

This is not to say that something of a military nature will happen here in Malaysia, but an 'insurgency' by the still-decent remnant of the politico-civil service complex may well expedite the day of its downfall.

Ramli Yusuff: Still ready to serve

PETALING JAYA, March 15 — Once a cop, always a cop. And Datuk Ramli Yusuff (picture), who was acquitted of not disclosing his assets last week, intends to report for duty at Bukit Aman although he reached retirement age of 58 on March 1.

In the event he is told to retire, Ramli wants his pension, gratuity and all retirement benefits befitting his rank of Police Commissioner.

“I hope to meet the Home Minister before reporting in, to see what advice he gives me,” the Former Commercial Crimes Investigation Department Director told The Malaysian Insider last night after holding a doa selamat or thanksgiving prayers at his Petaling Jaya home.

Ramli explained that he was informed he would be suspended until his case was over after he was charged on Nov 2, 2007 for not disclosing information about his assets.

“So I am still a police officer and I have to report. It is up to government to decide if I should continue (on contract) or retire.

“I want a proper send off, because I know I was fixed,” Ramli said, citing legal constraints when declining to elaborate on his case.

He pointed out that the judgment for his case was supposed to have been delivered on Feb 24 but was somehow delayed till last Friday.

“Had I been acquitted on Feb 24, I would have reported in the very next day.”

The veteran police officer was charged with failing to declare ownership of 20,000 Telekom Malaysia Berhad shares, 154,000 Permaju Industries Berhad shares and interest in two office properties worth RM1,032,840.

He was also charged separately in the Kota Kinabalu Sessions court for allegedly using police aircraft to view two pieces of property in which he was alleged to have had an interest in.

That case also ended in an acquittal for Ramli last July 27 after Sessions Court Judge Supang Lian ruled that, “The prosecution failed to prove a prima facie case and the accused deserves to be acquitted and discharged.’’

The prosecution is appealing both cases.

“What are they trying to prove? Haven’t I been through enough? Why do they need to appeal?” he asked.

Having served the force with distinction, the police veteran pointed out that both cases could have been handled internally by the police disciplinary board.

“Instead they choose to play with my life after 38-year-of service. They should not have treated me like this,” Ramli said.

He lamented that as senior police officer, former Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi could have just called him but that courtesy was not extended to him.

“Pak Lah was the Home Minister, I was third most senior police officer in the force, he could have at least called me and I could have explained,” he said, using the popular dimunitive for the former premier.

Ramli, who has a law degree, pointed out he was the longest serving Investigating Officer that has served both the Criminal and Commercial Crime Investigation Departments.

Among his top cases was the Jean Pereira murder, where the court allowed a conviction based on circumstantial evidence for the first time.

He added his investigation diary for the case is now a manual for police officers in training.

He pointed out that even Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan had once served directly under him for six years.

Ramli was deputy director of the CID at the time while Musa was head of prosecution.

“At one time, I treated him like my own brother. I never expected this sort of treatment.”

As for the future, Ramli said he has to rebuild his life and reputation from scratch.

“I hope they let me live in peace to do it,” he added.

Dozens of serving and retired police officers, among them former Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Datuk Dell Akbar Khan attended the doa selamat prayers last night.

By Clara Chooi - The Malaysian Insider

KUALA LUMPUR, March 15 — Melanau Christian Jill Ireland Lawrence Bill’s challenge against the Home Ministry’s decision to confiscate eight compact discs containing the word ‘Allah’ will now be heard on June 3 for case management, the High Court ruled today.

High Court Deputy Registrar Halilah Suboh set the date today after meeting the 29-year-old clerk’s lawyer Annou Xavier and Senior Federal Counsel Andi Razalijaya A. Dadi, who is representing the respondents.

Annou told reporters later that it was his hope for the matter to be settled together with the government’s appeal on the controversial High Court ruling allowing Catholic weekly Herald to use the word “Allah” in its publication.

“They are both connected matters and I am afraid of the implications that would affect the Herald matter, should this case be unsuccessful,” he told The Malaysian Insider.

He noted that the appeal on the Herald decision was still pending at the Court of Appeal.

Jill Ireland’s case is expected to yet another to be closely scrutinised by all quarters, especially in view of the furore that the Herald’s case had sparked off.

The case had not only resulted in the spate of violent attacks on churches and other religious praying grounds nationwide, it had also widened the rift between supporters of both ends of the nation’s political spectrum and caused much uproar among Muslims and non-Muslims.

Another dispute over the “Allah” word is also pending in court between the Home Ministry and Sidang Injil Borneo who is suing the ministry for seizing six boxes of Christian educational publications containing the word “Allah” in 2007.

The case has been fixed on April 30 to allow all parties to reach an out-of-court settlement.

In Jill’s case, the Sarawakian is seeking for an order of certiorari to quash the ministry’s decision to seize the CDs, and a mandamus order directing the minister to return the CDs. She filed her application on Aug 20, 2008 and was granted leave to seek judicial review of the Home Ministry’s decision on May 4 last year.

She is also seeking a declaration that she has the legitimate expectation to exercise the right to use the word “Allah” and to continue to own and import such materials.

The disputed materials were confiscated from Jill’s possession after she disembarked at the Low Cost Carrier Terminal in Sepang on May 11 upon returning from a flight from Indonesia.

In a letter on July 7 the same year, the Home Ministry explained its move, which was exercised under Section 9(1) of the Printing Presses and Publications Act, saying that the religious materials were a threat to national security and had also breached the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) guidelines as it used prohibited words.

The CD titles include ‘Cara Hidup Dalam Kerajaan Allah’, ‘9ara Menggunakan Kunci Kerajaan Allah’, ‘Ibadah Yang Benar Dalam Kerajaan Allah’ and ‘Hidup Benar Dalam Kerajaan Allah’.
Jill had contended that she uses the word “Allah” in her prayers, worship and religious education, and that the CDs were for personal consumption.

KUALA LUMPUR, March 15 — The Yang Di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin said today that freedom of speech should not be exploited to distort the truth at the expense of “flaming conflict and inciting racial sentiments.”

The King, in his royal address to Parliament, pointed out that while freedom of speech is a feature of a democratic and mature society, it should not be used to demean others.

“We are very much disappointed that there are parties within and outside the country who take advantage to exploit the situation at the expense of public order and national dignity.”

“We call upon all parties to learn a lesson from the dark episode in our history and avoid from stirring sensitive issues that may risk public order and harmony,” said the King.

Tuanku Mizan also pointed out that distortion of facts in some newspaper reports were still evident, and urged the authorities to take action.

“We are also disappointed that slander, lies and distortion of facts still prevail, especially in the new media. All parties involved must realise that no religion condones such actions. We urge them to cease committing these irresponsible acts. At the same time, the authorities must take stern actions against those involved.”

In addition, the Agong also maintained that unity between the many races and religious groups in Malaysia must be preserved, and that only through mutual respect and cooperation will there be a peaceful society.

“The position of Islam as the religion of the federation, while other religions are free to be practiced must be respected. We call upon all religious leaders to instil a sense of responsibility to maintain religious harmony among the followers of the respective religions,” said the King.

Tuanku Mizan also congratulated Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his administration for successfully implementing various programmes for the well-being of Malaysians for the past 11 months, since he took over the helm of the government.

“We welcome the 1Malaysia concept, People First, Performance Now, premised on the Federal Constitution. Our Government has identified 6 National Key Result Areas or NKRAs to be achieved, which are, widening the access to quality and affordable education, improving the poublic transport, combating corruption, reducing the crime rate, expanding rural infrastructure and raising the standard of living of the low income group...The people, therefore should work together with Our Government to ensure the success of this programme,” said Tuanku Mizan, giving his stamp of approval on the Najib administration.

Some of the other key issues which were touched on during the speech were on the economy, and how Malaysia was slowly moving out of the global economic crisis.

Noting that subsidies in 2009 alone cost RM24.5 billion, the Agong stressed that the amount last year had benefited not only the low-income group, but also the rich and foreigners.

“These subsidies will be restructured and gradually reduced. However, target groups like the vulnerable groups will continue to be assisted in order to lessen their burden. In this regard, We call upon the people to be far-sighted and ready to accept the change.”

KLANG, March 15 — Malaysians must give Datuk Seri Najib Razak a chance as his administration’s recent policy U-turns proved he is an open-minded leader focused on the people’s welfare, former Selangor Umno chief Datuk Seri Mohd Khir Toyo (picture) said.

The Selangor opposition chief asserted last night that the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) has been using lies and untruths to attack Najib’s leadership.

“Let’s give a chance for Datuk Seri Najib to make a change. He is very open-minded. For example, a lot of the issues that I have raised in my blog, Najib has taken note and attended to,” Khir told a Kota Raja Umno division ceramah here.

Among the issues that the former Selangor mentri besar claimed to have raised in his blog is the implementation the Goods and Services Tax (GST) as well as the two-tier petrol pricing system.

“On the GST, I have said for a long time now don’t at once implement the four per cent tax, it is not cheap, the poor will suffer. Also, I have commented on the two-tier petrol system using MyKad, where it is going to be more troublesome than good.”

“Alhamdulillah, the GST implementation has been delayed. You see, Najib listens. He does this for the rakyat, he won’t make any hasty or rash decisions. This is the kind of leader that we want. Give Najib a chance,” he added applause from some 300-odd people, mostly Umno loyalists who had attended the ceramah.

Khir’s remarks come amid Najib’s recent appeal last Friday to party members and grassroots leaders to support his reforms, amid signs that some of his administration’s moves to free up the economy and reverse the budget deficit have been bogged down by a lack of public support.

In an address to the party’s information chiefs in Janda Baik, Pahang, the Umno president urged members to give him “solid” support to implement his administration’s policies.

The Najib Administration has been hit by a number of apparent policy U-turns, the latest being pulling out the unpopular GST Bill from a second reading in the current Parliament sitting.

The government was also forced to call off a complicated two-tier fuel subsidy system and last December it retracted an unpopular five per cent real property gains tax (RPGT), proposed in Budget 2010, for properties sold after five years.

Najib, whose popularity ratings remains above 60 per cent among Malaysian voters, has seen some of his push for reforms, in particular his proposed New Economic Model (NEM), hit by criticisms from even among party faithful that are concerned that freeing up the economy will not be in the interests of Malays.

Najib, who was formally elected party president on March 26, 2009, will celebrate his first year as prime minister next April 3.

Khir, who lost Selangor to PR in Election 2008, also took the opportunity for a quick jab at PR, emphasising how the welfare of the people, especially Malays in the state, was not being cared for.

“Look at what’s happening in Selangor. You have elected representatives like Ng Sue Lim who is alleged to have been drunk when he knocked a university student .. .what has happened to the student’s welfare? No one knows.

“At the same time, when Teoh Beng Hock dies, his family gets RM50,000 ... this is what they mean by equality, their so-called struggle,” said Khir.

PR lawmakers have claimed Khir, a dentist by profession, had abused state firms and facilities for personal gain with family trips to Disneyland in the United States and building a palatial mansion despite being mentri besar for just a few years.

He has denied the allegations and has been questioned by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

My definition: Rempitism (noun; also concept and ideology borrow from the neo-Malay word rempit) - a Malaysian phenomenon in which youth uses the public road system to break the speed limit with customised motorbikes in illegal, past-midnight drag-races that rob the restful sleep of peaceful citizens; a phenomena akin to a capitalist economy of a struggling showcasing Third Word nation such a Malaysia that hypermodernises beyond the ability of its people to cope with its sensationalised designs of ‘economic miracles’.

A REPUBLIC OF VIRTUE

Azly Rahman

on blog: http://azlyrahman-illuminations.blogspot.com/

Both phenomena rest upon idiotic pride and arrogance that endanger a peaceful, ethical and sustainable future. Both present clear and present danger on the equally dangerous highway of globalisation. See also rempitise (adjective) and Mat Rempit (special noun).

A ‘rempitised’ economic and education system ‘rams’ human beings into different ‘pits’ (hence the term ‘rempit’) of the conveyer belt of the capitalist production system; creating what looks like a natural progression of meritocracy in education and social evolution. The foundation of this system is neo-colonialism, structural violence and the alienation of labour.

(Note: Like participants in the global rat race, Mat Rempit always want to finish first in the deadly race and be the first to do a wheelie for the world to see.)

Is our public education system failing? Is it producing more and more Mat Rempit, Anak Abu (anak-anak angkatan bawah usia), bohsia (bawah usia or the under-aged girls), bohjan (jantan bawah usia or under-aged males), gangsta rappers, hip-hoppers and youth alienated and put at-risk by our education system?

Are we creating class systems in education the way we have created varying types of classrooms that correspond to different classes in society? Why are we seeing the tuition industry becoming a billion-ringgit business, helping our children memorising more and more but understanding less and less of what they learn?

Do we have people in the education ministry well versed enough in analysing the phenomenon of our rempitised economy (speeding it up illegally) and how this is directly related to how we are ‘schooling’ our society?

Do we now have an entire system of higher education inheriting the children of our rempitised economy and contributing to the low quality of graduates - who cannot think critically and are always subjected to the whims and fancies of a totalitarian regime only interested in tightening the stranglehold on our universities?

British and American scholars like Paul Willis, Henry Levin, Peter McLaren and Martin Carnoy who studied the phenomena of schooling in capitalist societies observed the nature of the learning process in countries in which the rapid and unreflective industrialisation and post-industrialisation process have created one-dimensional citizens out of youth.

Schooling teaches these children to become good and obedient workers in a economic system that reduce the larger population into labour, while enriching the upper class into people and property-owners in a rempitised economy.

What’s lacking in teachers

Is our education ministry training teachers well in urban education and in the schooling of our at-risk youth? Do we actually know the root cause of rempitism and gangsterism in schools, and are we able to design better learning systems for those who are already marginalised and left behind by our rempitised economy?

I have a sense that the cases of gangsterism and bullying of teachers will continue to increase. More private schools will be built and Malaysians will lose confidence in their public schools. More private schools mean more divisions in society. The rich will produce better schools and the poor will be left behind in this rempitised system we have all created in the name of the New Economic Policy.

Teachers do not have the necessary concepts and skills to deal not only with the Millennial children (high-tech, high gadgetry, low attention span, low school-tolerance) but also the rempitised children who have low skills of reading, writing and computing.

Children left behind will be those who become Mat and Minah Rempit. They will be destructive to the classroom process and will translate their social anger into counter-productive and destructive activities. These are the ones who will be made criminals as a result of an uncaring education system that criminalises the human mind by placing unmotivated, uncreative and unprepared teachers to develop the untapped geniuses in our classrooms.

Should we rename the Mat and Minah Rempit as Mat Cemerlang (Excellent/Glorious Ones) as suggested by an Umno leader? Should we build a racing circuit for them to continue drag racing?

I do not think we should. I think those who propose such names and measures of glorification need radical counseling and education on the meaning of education. I think it shows a clear lack of understanding of the root of the problem. Wrong diagnosis of social ill.

Rehabilitation programme

I think we should beef up the highway police force and stop illegal drag racing, round up the Mat Rempit and send them for six-month rehabilitation in rempit camps near Perlis, guarded by graduates of the National Service. We should build a somewhat safe motor-cross clearings/zones and let them drag-race happily in these areas until they are exhausted.

In between these sessions we ought to give them a good and safe motorcycle education so that they will understand what it means to ride safely and not endanger the life of others. We can have the Biro Tata Negara write the module so that good indoctrination programmes will be used more on these rempitised and rempitising youth instead of those who do not need to be indoctrinated into any form of totalitarianism.

Peace-loving, rest-needing, night-sleeping citizens affected by the activities of rempitism will appreciate this radical programme of reconfiguring the mind of the rempitised youth.

How to de-rempitise our schools

In the meantime, how do we deal with the leadership of the public education system? We need to start by selecting only those who are well-versed in the entire spectrum of education.

We have ministers, educational experts, specialists and educational representatives who either have minimal classroom experience or none at all - let alone have much-needed knowledge in the history, theory, post-structurality and possibilities of education.

We place them in this ministry based on political considerations. They mess things up and show their inability to understand where our youth are heading, or how to design an education system good enough to reflect the dream we have - a dream of a just, equitable, environmentally sustainable, intellectual and ethical society.

We are more concerned with having our students and teachers pledge blind loyalty to the signs and symbols of power; one-dimensional thinking; and politically correct behaviour instead of developing, celebrating and further grooming good teachers who can radicalise the minds of the youth of tomorrow.

We force our university students to ceremoniously recite the Pledge of Loyalty, and round on those who protest against corruption and social injustice.

We do this against the backdrop of our speeded-up, hypermodernised economy - one we rempitised in the name of the New Economic Policy.

The question for us now is: how do we de-rempitise our society?

This is a true story regarding our Minister of Tourism Dato Sri Ng Yen Yen (NYY).

By Malaysia New Kid On Blog

The Ministry of Tourism Malaysia have a budget for “Media Campaign” to promote Malaysia on tourism. This budget is called in the Ministry as Media Global Fund. The previous Minister of Tourism Dato Azalina which set up a company that was given a contract to handle the Minister of Tourism's advertising for her own benefit. The same tactic is now use by NYY. She joint venture with one company called Sen Media Sdn. Bhd. and instruct other media to join this company to get contract.

The Managing Director of this company is Ruzi bin Ahmad who is also NYY’s son good friend. NYY’s son met media owners like BBC, STARTV, CNBC, ESPN, National Geographic, Phoenix HK, and Discovery Channel to negotiate and asked for 30% commission. The total budget for this campaign is RM 33 Million, and NYY’s son seeks a total commission around RM 10 Million from them.

Dato Mirza can confirm with this dealing, as the Ministry of Tourism Malaysia suppose to meet on 3rd April to start the media campaign and conclude by end of April, but NYY need to push this deal fast. NYY pressured Dato Mirza to carry forward the meeting to 9th March and starts the program by 15th March.

Due to the current situation, especially in MCA’s situation, NYY need to use the money for personal gain during the MCA’s current turmoil. For readers’ pondering, why should NYY need to move forward the campaign to 15th March 2010 and instruct her office to award the contract urgently so hasty? Why not evaluate other companies and follow the process?

Tourism Malaysia wishes to clarify that currently there is no new contract yet been sealed with any party with regard to the global buy advertising campaign 2010, as claimed by the writer - Malaysia New Kid On Blog, Wednesday, March 10, 2010. For the record, the process and procedures in terms of procurement for advertising is carried out in accordance to Financial Procedures.

NEP Destroying Indians and Chinese

It is disgusting to see that the bumiputeras must be given handicaps (NEP/30% equity and what not) so that they can be allowed to trample on us.

By Annamalai a/l Muthupalaniyappan, Penang

I refer to RPK's article "the long and winding road". The government policies and NEP has tarnished the image of the country. It has also encouraged other Malays to destroy the Indians and Chinese minorities. It has encouraged the Malays in high pwered positions to only give oppotunities and approvals to other Malays (and leaving out the Chinese and Indians). It has given the impression of wanting to get rid of the Indians and Chinese.

(My once wealthy family is now broke because of the government policies and its rules and regulations). A land matter (44 acres) which concerned my family, together with these rules and regulations imposed by the Malaysian government, ended up destroying my family over 14 years or since 1973.

We ended up paying taxes and fines and we could not develop our own lands because of an army ammunition depot placed beside our lands. But other lands belonging to bumiputeras in the same vicinity were given approval for development, an area highly populated by 95% Malays (although they were not supposed to be approved). It is disgusting to see that the bumiputeras must be given handicaps (NEP/30% equity and what not) so that they can be allowed to trample on us.

BN/UMNO is doing what Hitler did to the Jews and we are the target today (the Indians and the Chinese).

U/P : YB Dato’ Haji Johari Bin Haji Jamaluddin

Ketua Pengarah Keselamatan Kerajaan Malaysia (KPKK)

Pejabat Ketua Pegawai Keselamatan Kerajaan Malaysia

Jabatan Perdana Menteri,

Putrajaya 62502 Malaysia.

YB Dato’,

DISKRIMINASI DAN Isu Gudang Peluru Kem Tentera Sungai Layar, Sungai Petani Kedah

Saya merujuk kepada surat YB Dato’ bertarikh 22.1.10 (Ruj : KPKK ( R ) 800 Jld.31 (87). Adalah tidak adil bahawa Kerajaan Malaysia mengambil alih tanah datuk saya (92 ekar) pada tahun 1950an dan membina Gudang Peluru dikawasan berdekatan pada tahun 1973 tanpa pengetahuan keluarga saya. Jarak Gudang Peluru tersebut begitu dekat (250 meter) dengan baki tanah keluarga saya yang berukuran 44.03 ekar dan bukan 300 meter seperti yang disebut oleh YB Dato’. Kewujudan Gudang Peluru Kem Tentera bersebelahan tanah keluarga saya adalah kesalahan Kem Tentera/Kerajaan Pusat dan bukan perbuatan keluarga saya.

Pada tahun 1995 hingga Okt 2009 (iaitu selama 14 tahun), MPSPK dan KPKK tidak membenarkan keluarga saya membangunkan tanah kepunyaan sendiri disebabkan Gudang Peluru bersebelahan (dengan syarat syarat KPKK dan MPSPK yang mustahil dipatuhi). Yang peliknya Taman Melor dan 8 taman perumahan diberi kebenaran untuk dibangunkan walaupun taman taman tersebut sama jarak atau dekat dengan gudang peluru kem tentera dan berada didalam zon kemusnahan dan bahaya (ini tidak mengutamakan keselamatan penduduk disana, yang majoritinya 95% adalah orang melayu dan sekian lama KPKK mendiamkan diri sahaja). Pada tahun 2000 dan 2001 untuk keselamatan perlindungan aset Kerajaan KPKK menulis surat rasmi kepada MPSPK menyatakan bahawa tanah keluarga saya adalah “tidak selamat” - dengan arahan bahawa projek pembangunan bapa saya tidak boleh diberi kebenaran kerana risiko kehilangan nyawa dan kemusnahan harta benda yang amat tinggi sekiranya berlaku perkara yang tidak diingini terhadap gudang peluru. pada waktu yang sama KPKK mengabaikan keselamatan penduduk Taman melor dan 8 taman perumahan bersebelahan disekitar kawasan gudang Peluru; gudang peluru tersebut sudah pun wujud disana sejak tahun 1973. Ini merupakan diskriminasi terhadap keluarga saya. Perkara Gudang Peluru ini telah merugikan keluarga saya dengan amat teruk. Keluarga saya telah dihancurkan oleh pihak Kerajaan Malaysia dan KPKK. Selama 14 tahun beberapa orang (yang dikenali, termasuk yang tidak dikenali), pihak ketiga dan kakitangan Kem minta komisyen atau sogokkan untuk mengatasi isu Gudang peluru tersebut (RM 300,000 hingga RM 1 juta).

Tiba tiba YB Dato’ menulis surat bertarikh 22-1-10 kepada saya menyatakan tiada isu berhubung keselamatan yang boleh dihubungkait keatas kedudukan gudang peluru dengan tanah keluarga saya. Dengan tidak menunjukkan simpati, sebaliknya YB Dato’ pula memberitahu saya untuk mengelak menyebut isu Keselamatan Gudang Peluru yang sudah pun menjejaskan keluarga saya sejak tahun 1973. Keluarga saya dianiaya oleh pihak Kerajaan Malaysia dan KPKK. Semua pembeli pembeli tidak minat dengan tanah keluarga saya 44.03 ekar disebabkan gudang peluru bersebelahan, isu keselamatan Gudang Peluru dan arahan keselamatan yang disebarkan oleh KPKK sekian lama. Tambah Gudang perluru tersebut wujud bersebelahan tanah keluarga saya (44.03 ekar) tanpa pengetahuan kami sejak 1973. Adakah ini adil ?.

Jikalau Arahan Keselamatan 1972 & 1985 adalah arahan Kerajaan Malaysia yang sah, dari segi undang undang Taman Melor dan (8) Taman Perumahan disekitar kawasan Gudang Peluru tidak harus diberi kebenaran untuk dibangunkan. Sebaliknya, dengan adanya arahan arahan keselamatan 1972 & 1985 kesemua (8) Taman Perumahan di kawasan Gudang Peluru diberi kelulusan untuk dibangunkan dengan cepat kecuali cadangan pembangunan bapa saya (tapak 44.03 ekar). Nampaknya selama 14 tahun ini arahan arahan keselamatan ini seakan akan diguna pakai untuk menghapuskan keluarga saya, iaitu keluarga kaum india sahaja. Di mana hak kami ?

Saya mahu bantah dengan sekeras - kerasnya tindakan Kerajaan Pusat dan KPKK terhadap keluarga saya sekian lama. KPKK dan Kerajaan Pusat harus memberi ganti rugi kepada keluarga saya kerana kehilangan peluang menjual tanah tanah (9 lot) 44.03 ekar pada harga komersial RM6skp. Keluarga saya juga menghadapi kerugian wang yang besar akibat isu Gudang peluru yang berlanjutan selama 14 tahun dan arahan keselamatan yang disebarkan oleh KPKK kepada jabatan jabatan kerajaan dan MPSPK sehingga pembeli pembeli tidak minat membeli tanah keluarga saya berukuran 44.03 ekar. Pihak kerajaan Malaysia harus mengambil alih kesemua lot lot yang sudah pun dijejaskan oleh Gudang Peluru tersebut.

“1 Malaysia - Jangan Hapuskan Keluarga Saya”

Yang Benar,

It all sums up that the easy way is never the right way. For Mahahtir to think the idea of spreading it out among the Malays is worse than making 100 billionaires says a lot more about this selfish ,cunning & vengeful ultra opportunist. Not the least surprising he had made his children billionaires and millionaires in his life time. The NEP, benefiting men- crafted definition of race, is a gross violation of human decency. It continuously adds new comers: children of new immigrants(including illegal) who qualify for this privileged man crafted race definition while excluding the 3rd ,4th,the descendants of citizens who also fought for independence ,served the Malayan and Malaysian armed forces and in other vital and essential sectors of government are excluded from qualifying for this race- crafted definition. A spade is a spade,therefore if religion is not the major criteria one should be considered lying to his teeth.The revised NEM should reduce the arrogance that is prevalent in the NEP. It s a never ending cry for more when it is offered on a golden platter,at the expense of the more deserving poor.. It got to be NEM that is not race or religion based,but on haves and "have-nots".

You are going about it the wrong way .....

See this KKN person and tell him you want (Malay) justice. Ask him permission to allow you to build an army hostel, hospital or hotel etc on your land and ask the army to buy it from you at a premium. They have a lot of money.

Then go buy a land somewhere else that youa re happy with ..... this is how we used to solve it. Not like this ...... not now !!!! smilies/angry.gif

Great example to bring up.
We wil never know the true reasons for any positive and negative decision on your land until this bad muslim UMNO mob with failed governance, including failed judiciary system are replaced with an open PR government and restored proper judiciary/court system.

Indian, please tell that pioneer Hindraf Uxxxx guy who smoke too dope lately, to fall in line for Annamalai a/l Muthupalaniyappan's sake and all other Indians affected by gross injustice. We need you Uxxxx Indian/Hindraf Man to march at the front again under joint Pakatan/PAS Malay banners, maybe sooner than we think Re RPK article, May 13 Ver2

ISA victims, include many Malay - We'll remember them.
We have stopped listening to you. For malaysia.

Correction, the NEP is not only destroying Indians and Chinese, but Malays also. Only those Malays who are close to UMNO benefits. The kampong folks only get pittance. At the end of the day, the Malays need to depend on subsidies. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for life.
