<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I refer to the incident yesterday
where a group of NGO offered RM1200 to any person who would slap DAP’s MP YB
Teresa Kok and record it in a video.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN;">This is after the controversial
video produced by YB Teresa Kok over the Chinese New Year, which had angered
many Malaysians.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Gerakan Youth hereby urged the
police to take action against the group of NGO who had offered the slap reward.
This is clearly an offer to assault a person which is against the law.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Even if any person is angered by the
controversial video, no one should take the law into their own hands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN;">The controversial video is not the
culture of Malaysian Chinese community during the Chinese New Year festivities.
No person should try to make it a race or religious issue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN;">We urge all Malaysians to remain
calm over the controversial video and let the police take the appropriate
action. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">I refer to the
resignation of PKR’s Kajang state assemblyman yesterday which had caused the
need for a by-election. In July, 2008, the President of PKR Dato Seri Wan
Azizah Wan Ismail also resign her parliamentary seat at Permatang Pauh to allow
her husband to contest there. In April 2009, another PKR </span><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">former Penang deputy chief minister Mohammad Fairus Khairuddin also
resign his state seat at Penanti citing the reason to further his studies.</span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Under the current
law, such as the Federal Constitution (Article 48(6)) and the provision of the
state constitution (such as Selangor Constitution – Article 64(5)), a person
who resigns his membership of the House of Representatives or Legislative
Assembly of the State shall, for a period of 5 years beginning with the date on
which his resignation takes effect, be disqualified from being a member of the
House of Representatives or Legislative Assembly of the State.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The existing

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">I refer to the death of N Dharmendran after being
remanded at Kuala Lumpur
police head quarters.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">The deceased, </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">32-year
old was remanded after suspected to have been involved in the shooting of two
men in Bandar Tun Razak two weeks ago. The deceased had complained of chest
pains at about 9pm on Tuesday while being detained at the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters lock-up. He
was immediately sent to the Kuala
Lumpur hospital for treatment but died upon arrival
there.</span></div>

police chief Deputy Commissior <span class="knx-annotation"><a href="http://archives.thestar.com.my/search/?q=Datuk%20Mohmad%20Salleh" target="_blank">Datuk Mohmad Salleh</a></span> said yesterday that post-mortem
results revealed the victim might have been murdered while in police custody at
the Kuala Lumpur
police headquarters. He also said that the Bukit Aman CID investigators are now
investigating the matter. </span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Notwithstanding the police quick response to
investigate the matter, Kedah Gerakan Youth urged that an “inquest” be
conducted to investigate the sudden death of the late N
Dharmendran. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The
proposed “inquest” is of public importance and must be held at the soonest
possible to determine the cause of the sudden death of the late N Dharmendran.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Such death after under police custody would
certainly </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">tarnished public confidence in
the police force.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It
is utmost importance that this matter being investigated by an independent body
such an “inquest”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The
cause of the sudden death must be known. Any delay would affect public
perception towards the Barisan Nasional government.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">I refer to the recently concluded 13<sup>th</sup>
General Election in our country.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Since the results being announced, leaders from the
opposition Pakatan had been making allegation that the 13<sup>th</sup> General
Election had involved fraud. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">This includes allegation more than 40,000
foreigners had been flew into our country to vote. However, to date, none had
been discovered except for a case where a Malaysian Indian man with a Chinese
name was mistaken as Bangladeshi. The DAP leader who made the false allegation
was reported to have apologized on the matter but only after the polls.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Legally in the event of any dispute or fraud, the
opposition could file a petition in court to challenge the results of the polls
within 21 days after the results being gazetted (expected in this month).
Instead of just doing that, the opposition still continues to organize several
rallies to oppose the result of the 13<sup>th</sup> General Election. Their
leaders had been reported to continue making allegation via public speeches as
if there’s fraud in the 13<sup>th</sup> General Election.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Such allegation had caused a false public
perception over the 13<sup>th</sup> General Election and tarnished the image of
the Election Commission. To make matters worse, these false allegations
continue to be on record in blogs, facebook, twitter and other social media
that can be easily accessed over the internet. It may be a source of reference
in history.</span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">No doubt, Barisan Nasional may have lost the
support of majority of Malaysian Chinese in the 13<sup>th</sup> general

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">As a current member of the MACC complaints
committee, Mohd Noor Abdullah should refrain from making any statement that
would cause uneasiness among Malaysians after the 13<sup>th</sup> general
election.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Kedah

<span style="font-family: Arial;">There are currently 2 major universities under the

students in UNISEL & KUIN. Both these universities relied on students using
PTPTN loans to pay their fees. In 2011, Kedah Pakatan government had even
increased the fees for KUIN despite protest from its students.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Anggaran hutang kini<span style="mso-tab-count: 2;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">RM2.933 billion</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Sebelum 2008, baki hutang awam Kerajaan Negeri Kedah
adalah RM2 billion (menurut laporan Audit Negara 2011 yang dilampirkan di
sini). </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Maka hutang kerajaan negeri Kedah bakal mencecah RM3
billion <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">(kenaikan hampir RM1 billion
atau hampir 50% selepas PAS/Pakatan ambilalih pentadbiran negeri Kedah).</b> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tetapi baki wang tunai hanya tinggal RM193.22
juta.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Kami
juga telah mendapati bahawa anak syarikat Bina Darulaman Berhad iaitu Kedah
Sato Sdn Bhd telah mengambil pinjaman bank sebanyak RM330 juta untuk membiayai
pembinaan kampus utama KUIN. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Bayaran
ansuran hampir RM50 juta setahun bagi pinjaman tersebut bakal bermula tahun ini</b>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Kerajaan
Negeri Kedah juga telah mengumumkan belanjawan 2013 defisit berjumlah RM1.1
billion berbanding anggaran hasil RM640 juta. Jumlah peningkatan sebanyak RM105.6
juta tersebut dikatakan akan disumbangkan oleh hasil premium tanah serta
bayaran jualan air mentah kepada SADA dan Kerajaan Pulau Pinang.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> Tetapi selepas dibentangkan belanjawan
tersebut, kerajaan Pulau Pinang telah menolak jualan air mentah dari Kerajaan
Kedah.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Oleh
yang demikian, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Pemuda Gerakan Kedah amat
bimbang dengan keadaan kewangan kerajaan negeri Kedah dengan beban hutang yang
hampir mencecah RM3 billion pada masa ini tetapi baki wang tunai hanya tinggal
RM193.22 juta</b>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Kami
memohon agar Kerajaan Negeri Kedah akan mengambil langkah sewajarnya untuk
mengurangkan beban hutang yang telah meningkat hampir RM1 billion, iaitu hampir
50% sejak pentadbiran di bawah kerajaan PAS/Pakatan.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Beban
hutang kerajaan negeri Kedah dapat dikurangkan sekiranya:-</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Press Release by Kedah Gerakan Youth (17th February)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">We refer to the deportation of Nick Xenophon, an Independent
Senator for South Australia
yesterday.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Mr Xenophon has previously supported the movement
of BERSIH which held a street demostration last year. The event ended up as a
violent street demo and caused severe injuries to Malaysians and destruction of
public property.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">We would like to stress that the deportation of Mr
Xenophon was in conformity with the laws of Malaysia. We believe Australia and
other countries also have such similar immigration laws in the interest of
their country.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">As a mutual respect between both our countries, Mr
Xenophon, who is also an Australian Senator should not attempt to interfere
with Malaysia’s
internal matter whether in the past, present or future.</span></div>
<h1 style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">On this basis, Malaysia should only deal with the current Australian
government under the leadership of Prime Minister </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Julia Gillard, who has in the past confirm Australia will not interfere
with Malaysia’s internal matter.</span></h1>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Thus, if Mr Xenophon has any suggestion which he
wishes to bring forward to the attention of the Malaysian government, then he
should proposed it using the right channel, being through the Australian government.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">At this
juncture, Malaysians are uncertain who Mr Xenophon is representing in Malaysia.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Malaysia</span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;"> is a democratic country
with a free and fair election. We do not claim to have the perfect system but
recommendations from our Parliament are accepted from time to time to improve
our system. This includes recommendations from the opposition party.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Kedah Gerakan Youth, as part of Malaysians hopes Mr
Xenophon would respect our country and would not blindly interfere with the
internal matters of Malaysia
in favour of any political party which he may favours.</span></div>

<br />
Hope he realize that the restrictions against Public Performance by Non-Muslim should be cancelled & not just granting of exemptions during festivities at their sole discretion.<br />
<br />
PAS government should respect non-Muslim Kedahans rights & freedom 365 days a year & not just on festivities.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.5in;">
(iii)<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Pada 15 Januari, 2013, Menteri Besar

tertakluk kepada:-</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 1.0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.5in;">
(a)<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>membatalkan semua Garis

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Saya merujuk kepada isu pembelian saham Felda Global
Ventures Holdings Berhad (“FGVH”) oleh Kerajaan Negeri Kedah.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Kedah (PKNK) telah memohon
untuk 1 juta saham FGVH dan berjaya membeli 500 ribu saham tersebut pada harga
RM4.55 sesaham.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Saham FGVH kini telah naik hampir RM5.40 sesaham
iaitu kenaikan hampir 20%.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Sebelum ini, Pakatan Rakyat telah mengkritik
penyenaraian Felda di dalam Bursa Malaysia.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Dalam hal ini, Pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat juga telah
mengkritik pembelian saham FGVH oleh Kerajaan Negeri Kedah.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Pada hari ini, Menteri Besar Kedah Dato Seri Azizan
Abdul Razak berkata PKNK akan diarahkan untuk menjual saham FGVH yang
dimilikinya. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Pemuda Gerakan Kedah berpendapat bahawa <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">pembelian saham FGVH oleh Kerajaan Negeri
Kedah adalah tidak salah. </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Dalam
semangat 1Malaysia, Kerajaan Negeri Kedah juga berhak untuk kongsi pencapaian
Felda dan menikmati kejayaannya di bawah kerajaan Barisan Nasional.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Pembelian saham FGVH oleh PKNK (yang dipengerusikan
oleh Menteri Besar Kedah Dato Seri Azizan Abdul Razak) telah berjaya meraih
keuntungan hampir 20% sejak penyenaraiannya di Bursa
Malaysia
pada 28 Jun lepas.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Kerajaan Negeri Kedah tidak perlu terikut-ikut dengan
hasutan Pakatan Rakyat terhadap Felda.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Keputusan Kerajaan Negeri Kedah harus berdasarkan
kepentingan rakyat dan bukannya tunduk kepada desakan politik yang tidak logik
dari Pakatan Rakyat.</span></div>Tan Keng Lianghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12274849997440987829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644082298450479866.post-13591131103460074792012-05-13T16:49:00.001+08:002012-05-13T16:49:24.479+08:00DAP Harus Beri Kerjasama Penuh Kepada Panel Bebas Untuk Ketahui Kebenaran<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Saya merujuk kepada kenyataan Setiausaha Agong DAP
YB Lim Guan Eng pada 12 Mei, 2012 di mana beliau telah m</span><span style="font-family: Arial;">engisytiharkan pemboikotan DAP terhadap Panel Bebas
untuk menyiasat keganasan semasa demo jalan Bersih 3.0.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Sila
rujuk kenyataan penuhnya di:- </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://limguaneng.com/index.php/2012/05/12/dap-declares-a-full-boycott-of-the-independent-panel-encn/"><span style="color: blue;">http://limguaneng.com/index.php/2012/05/12/dap-declares-a-full-boycott-of-the-independent-panel-encn/</span></a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Pada
28 April yang lalu, kita telah lihat demo jalan Bersih 3.0 yang mengakibatkan
huru-hara di bandaraya Kuala Lumpur di sekitar Dataran Merdeka. Pihak penganjur
Bersih 3.0 pada sebelum itu telah berjanji akan mengadakan perhimpunan aman.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Bersih
3.0 telah disokong oleh Pakatan Rakyat termasuk parti DAP, sungguhpun bekas
Senator DAP Tunku Abdul Aziz telah menasihati risiko dan bahaya demo jalan
sedemikian.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Dalam
hal ini, DAP tidak harus memboikot Panel Bebas untuk menyiasat keganasan semasa
demo jalan Bersih 3.0 atas tanggapan peribadi mereka bahawa panel siasatan
tersebut tidak bebas.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Kita
dapat lihat Panel Bebas tersebut disertai orang dari pelbagai sektor, termasuk dua
(2) orang wakil bebas dari sektor media iaitu Ketua Eksekutif Kumpulan Media
Karangkraf (Sinar Harian), Datuk Husammuddin Yaacob dan Penasihat Undang-Undang
Media Chinese International, Liew Peng Chuan.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Sebaliknya,
DAP merupakan salah suatu pihak yang telah menyokong Bersih 3.0 dan pemimpinnya
juga turut terlibat dalam demo jalan tersebut. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">DAP sebenarnya mempunyai kepentingan dalam hal ini dan pandangan mereka
bukannya sebagai pihak bebas (non-independent).</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Pemuda Gerakan Kedah menyeru agar DAP
memberi kerjasama penuh kepada Panel Bebas tersebut agar kebenaran dapat
diketahui oleh rakyat punca sebenar keganasan semasa demo jalan Bersih 3.0.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Kami
berharap DAP tidak akan menghalang mana-mana pihak dari membantu siasatan Panel
Bebas tersebut.</span></div>Tan Keng Lianghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12274849997440987829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644082298450479866.post-59949066050552480762012-05-08T15:13:00.002+08:002012-05-08T15:13:54.478+08:00Malaysian Bar Should Assist All Malaysians Affected By Bersih 3.0 Street Demo<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">I refer to the Malaysian Bar
upcoming Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on 11 May,
2012.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">The EGM will discuss 12
motions proposed by the Bar Council in relation to the street demostration of
Bersih 3.0, including:-</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">1. The Malaysian Bar calls
on the Government to pay just and proper compensation to members of the public,
media professionals and lawyers who were assaulted; and</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial;"></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">2. The Bar
Council will look into how it can assist those denied their constitutional
rights and those who were assaulted to pursue claims against the relevant
parties for just and proper compensation.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">I welcome the proposal by Malaysian
Bar to assist those that may have been assaulted during the street demonstration
of Bersih 3.0.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">However, in doing so, <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">the Malaysian Bar should also provide legal assistance
to all Malaysians affected by the street demonstration, whether they are
participants of Bersih 3.0 or otherwise.</span></b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">As such, the legal assistance by the
Malaysian Bar should include assistance to pursue compensation against the
relevant parties by:-</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">1. local traders, business
premises, taxi drivers and others who suffered financial losses as a result of
the street demonstration by Bersih 3.0;</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">2. policemen who were
assaulted by the participants of Bersih 3.0;</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">3. those whose property,
including vehicles that were damages by the participants of Bersih 3.0;
and</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">4. any other person who may
be affected by the street demonstration of Bersih
3.0.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">I believe that the Malaysian Bar
should uphold the principles of Justice For All and not limit its assistance to
a selected group of people.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">As such, I hope that the Bar Council
would revise their motion before being tabled at the
EGM.</span></span></div>Tan Keng Lianghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12274849997440987829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644082298450479866.post-59710048356291639902012-05-05T15:00:00.002+08:002012-05-05T15:14:11.556+08:00RM500 million Kedah Pakatan State Project Without Open Tender<br />

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial;">In July 2011, Kedah Pakatan
government initiated a government acquisition for a few parcels of land in Alor
Star surrounding a previously abandoned project known as Plaza Tunku Yaacob.</span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial;">The acquisition of the said land
costing almost RM40 million is for a project known as Aman Central.</span></div>

<br />
Pihak kami telah mendapati terdapat anak-anak kecil yang telah dibawa untuk mengikuti demostrasi jalan tersebut.
Ada di antara anak-anak kecil tersebut yang dianggarkan berumur kurang dari 3 tahun.<br />
<br />

<br />
Pemuda Gerakan Kedah mengecam tindakan pihak penganjur Bersih yang tidak mengambil langkah proaktif untuk memastikan orang-orang mereka tidak membawa anak-anak kecil ke demostrasi jalan tersebut.
<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Demostrasi jalan tersebut tidak sesuai untuk disertai oleh anak-anak kecil.</b><br />
<br />
Kita telah lihat keadaaan huru-hara yang telah diakibatkan oleh demostrasi Bersih.
<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Dalam memperjuangkan apa-apa agenda, Bersih harus berprihatin terhadap keselamatan anak-anak kecil dan anak-anak muda.</b><br />
<br />
Saya berharap penganjur Bersih akan memastikan perkara sebegini tidak berulang lagi.Tan Keng Lianghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12274849997440987829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644082298450479866.post-34900939752017953612012-04-18T13:21:00.000+08:002012-04-18T13:22:57.192+08:00Section 22A of Mufti & Fatwa (Kedah) Enactment - Another Law Similar To Those in States Under TalibanI refer to amendments of the Mufti and Fatwa (Kedah Darul Aman) Enactment 2008 passed by the Kedah State Assembly yesterday.<br /><br />A new section - Section 22A had been inserted in the enactment, which states that a fatwa decided by the mufti or Fatwa Committee, whether gazetted or not, cannot be challenged, appealed, reviewed, denied or questioned in any Civil court or Syariah court.<br /><br />Kedah Gerakan Youth condemns the latest move by Kedah Pakatan government to enact such a law which undermines democracy and rule of natural justice in the state.<br /><br />Under the rule of natural justice, any person deserves a right to be heard and appeal against any decision made affecting him or her. <br /><br />It is also absurd that a fatwa that may affect Kedahans need not be gazetted. So, how would the public know exactly what “fatwa” has been made in Kedah under Pakatan government?<br /><br />Democracy and rule of natural justice should be accorded to all Kedahans, whether they are Muslim or non-Muslims.<br /><br />On “fatwa” that may indirectly affects non-Muslim, it is unfair that the matter cannot be challenged in a Civil Court, eventhough it affects them.<br /><br />For example, if the Pakatan state issues a fatwa to ban Muslim from issuing license for the sale of alcohol based drinks and the local Muslim district officer forced to comply with the fatwa, a non-Muslim, who is affected may not be able to challenge the decision in a Civil Court.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">This latest move by Kedah Pakatan government is yet another law similar to those seen in states under Talibans.</span><br /><br />As such, Kedah Gerakan Youth demands Pakatan Rakyat national leaders to:-<br /><br />(1) immediately stop Kedah Pakatan government from implementing the said Section 22A; and<br /><br />(2) to review the said Section 22A without any further delay.Tan Keng Lianghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12274849997440987829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644082298450479866.post-14032987109512527942012-04-16T14:51:00.001+08:002012-04-16T14:52:51.103+08:00Program Bicara Rakyat RTM Bukan Debat ---- Kalau YB Fuziah Salleh ingin debat, saya tetap sahutSaya merujuk kepada kenyataan Ahli Parlimen PKR YB Fuziah Salleh yang disiarkan dalam Malaysiakini kelmarin berhubung forum Bicara Rakyat (pada 16 Mac) bagi isu kilang Lynas di Gebeng, Pahang.<br /><br />Sumber: Malaysiakini, 15 April, 2012<br />Pautan: http://malaysiakini.com/news/195084<br /><br />1. Saya merupakan salah satu ahli panel bagi program Bicara Rakyat tersebut bersama YB Fuziah Salleh dengan Ketua Pengarah AELB Raja Abdul Aziz.<br /><br />2. P<span style="font-weight:bold;">rogram Bicara Rakyat tersebut merupakan suatu Forum bagi membincangkan isu kilang Lynas. Ia bukannya suatu “debat” seperti yang didakwa oleh YB Fuziah Salleh</span>. <br /><br />3. Sebaliknya, debat antara saya dengan YB Fuziah Salleh tidak pernah diadakan berhubung isu Lynas, walaupun ia pernah dipersetujui oleh beliau dalam bulan Mac, 2012 atas anjuran Anas Zubedy.<br /> <br />Sumber: Blog Penganjur, Anas Zubedy<br />http://letusaddvalue.blogspot.com/2012/03/yb-fuziah-salleh-tan-keng-liang-debate.html<br /><br />4. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Debat tersebut sebenarnya telah dibatalkan setelah YB Fuziah Salleh tarik diri.</span> Ini adalah selepas pihak penganjur menetapkan kedua-dua pihak perlu membawa seorang pakar sains untuk menyokong pandangan pihak pendebat.<br /><br />5. Dalam isu RTM masih tidak menyiarkan forum Bicara Rakyat tersebut, saya berpendapat ini adalah keputusan atas budi bicara penganjur.<br /><br />6. Saya berharap YB Fuziah Salleh tidak lagi mengeluarkan kenyataan prejudis dan tidak berasas terhadap mana-mana pihak dalam forum Bicara Rakyat tersebut untuk kepentingan politik.<br /><br />7. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Namun, sekiranya YB Fuziah Salleh masih ingin berdebat dalam isu Lynas, maka saya tetap menyahut cabaran beliau untuk memberi fakta tepat kepada rakyat. </span>Tan Keng Lianghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12274849997440987829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644082298450479866.post-41852589775512221662012-04-10T14:11:00.000+08:002012-04-10T14:12:43.789+08:00BERSIH 3 DISERU HIMPUN SECARA AMAN DALAM STADIUMSaya merujuk kepada demostrasi yang akan dianjurkan oleh Gabungan Pilihanraya Adil dan Bersih (“Bersih”) pada 28 April, 2012 di Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur. Perhimpunan tersebut juga dikenali sebagai Bersih 3.<br /><br />Hari ini, Menteri Dalam Negeri, Dato Seri Hishammuddin Hussein telah mengumumkan perhimpunan Bersih 3 tersebut akan dibenarkan tertakluk kepada pematuhan Akta Perhimpunan Aman 2011.<br /><br /><strong>Pemuda Gerakan Kedah mengalu-alukan keputusan kerajaan untuk membenarkan perhimpunan Bersih 3 atas semangat Akta Perhimpunan Aman 2011.</strong><br /><br />Di dalam sistem demokratik negara kita, Bersih berhak untuk menyuarakan pandangannya dalam apa-apa isu yang ingin diperjuangkan mereka. <br /><br />Tetapi untuk mengelakkan ketenteraman awam dan kehidupan rakyat terjejas, adalah lebih baik sekiranya Bersih mengadakan perhimpunan Bersih 3 di tempat yang lebih sesuai.<br /><br />Seperti yang telah dilihat pada tahun sebelumnya, demostrasi sebegini akan mengakibatkan kesesakan lalu lintas yang teruk di sekitar ibu kota, jika diadakan di Dataran Merdeka.<br /><br />Ini secara tidak langsung akan menyusahkan rakyat di persekitaran dan menjejaskan sumber pendapatan golongan tertentu di kawasan yang terlibat, termasuk industri pelancongan.<br /><br />Oleh yang demikian, Pemuda Gerakan Kedah mencadangkan agar <strong>pihak penganjur perhimpunan Bersih 3 mengubah tempat perhimpunan tersebut ke dalam sebuah “Stadium”.</strong><br /><br /><strong>Saya berharap penganjur Bersih 3 akan menimbang cadangan untuk adakan perhimpunan tersebut di dalam Stadium SEKIRANYA objektif mereka hanya untuk berhimpun secara aman untuk menyuarakan isu yang diperjuangkan mereka.</strong>Tan Keng Lianghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12274849997440987829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644082298450479866.post-30874505491154886442012-03-24T18:23:00.005+08:002012-03-24T18:30:40.443+08:00Form Panel of Experts to Review Batu Kawan Solar Panel (photovoltaic) plant to avoid China pollution crisisAbout 2 weeks ago, I have raised concern over Penang proposed Solar Panel (photovoltaic) factory at Batu Kawan. This is in view of the environmental pollution crisis in Zhejiang village in China last year (September) as a result of such plant.<br /><br />However, Penang government had brushed aside the matter as non-issue. No details were revealed as to how the state will avoid similar environmental pollution as in Zhejiang village.<br /><br />Last Saturday, I have revealed that the proposed Solar Panel factory would also require Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB) approval as the plant involves radioactivity substance.<br /><br />It has now been revealed that the Solar Panel factory has yet to obtain or even applied for AELB approval.<br /><br />So, what will Penang government say now about this?<br /><br />I would suggest Penang government form a panel of experts to review the proposed Solar Panel (photovoltaic) factory & ensure similar environmental pollutions in China won't happen at Batu Kawan.<br /><br />We should not take risk on matters that can be averted.<br />Let's #savePenangTan Keng Lianghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12274849997440987829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644082298450479866.post-74834552029160441702012-03-14T12:35:00.001+08:002012-03-14T12:52:42.319+08:00PENANG CHIEF MINISTER SHOULD BE MORE CONCERN ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESI refer to the recent issue surrounding the setting up of a solar panel (photovoltaic) manufacturing plant at Batu Kawan.<br /><br />In my statement 2 days ago, I have called for Penang Chief Minister YAB Lim Guan Eng to reveal the environmental impact of the solar panel (photovoltaic) manufacturing plant in view of the pollution crisis at Zhejiang village in China as a result of a similar factory. As such, I have also requested for the disclosure of the steps to be taken by Penang to avert such pollution like have seen in China.<br /><br />Some 500 villagers at Zhejiang village staged a three-day protest following the death of large numbers of fish in a local river. Tests on water samples showed high levels of fluoride, which can be toxic in high doses<br /><br />The solar panel (photovoltaic) manufacturing plant at Zhejiang had been closed down by authorities in China after the pollution incident in September, 2011. <br /><br />[ Source: BBC News – 19th September, 2011<br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-14968605 ] <br /><br />However, yesterday, Penang Chief Minister YAB Lim Guan Eng brush aside this issue and claim that the solar panel (photovoltaic) manufacturing plant was approved by federal government agencies, including the Department of Environment (DOE) and the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (Mida).<br /><br />With due respect to the Penang Chief Minister, the land for the manufacturing plant had been sold by Penang Development Corporation (PDC), where the Sale & Purchase Agreement was signed on 29th February, 2012. The manufacturing plant would also be subjected to planning approvals by the local authorities in Penang.<br /><br />It’s also within the authority of Penang state government to ensure proper safety regulations be made and adhered to avoid similar pollution crisis in Batu Kawan like what we have seen as a result of a solar panel (photovoltaic) manufacturing plant at Zhejiang.<br /><br /><strong>I hope that YAB Lim Guan Eng would take this environmental issue seriously and review the approvals for the solar panel (photovoltaic) manufacturing plant. </strong>Appropriate regulations should be made to ensure there will not be any environmental crisis in Batu Kawan as a result of the solar panel (photovoltaic) manufacturing plant.<br /><br />This is not the time to point fingers as to who approve the project but rather all parties should work together to ensure the well being of our people and their environment.Tan Keng Lianghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12274849997440987829noreply@blogger.com
