PUTRAJAYA: Ten Kajang Municipal Council (MPKj) councillors were charged at a magistrate's court in Putrajaya yesterday for wearing Bersih 2.0 T–shirts within the vicinity of Menara MPKj. They were charged under the Societies Act 1966 Section 47 (1) for wearing the T–shirts during the council's full board meeting on June 29.
Eleven municipal councillors were called to face charges at a magistrate's court on Wednesday but were informed that their case had been postponed to yesterday.

The councillors pleaded not guilty and were released on a RM2,000 bail each. Magistrate A. Akhiruddin @ Boy Acho fixed Aug 8 for mention.
In relation to the wearing of the T-shirts, 23 MPKj councillors had been called in for questioning at the Kajang district police headquarters on June 30. Of the 23, six were from PKR, six from DAP, five from PAS, and six from non-governmental organisations.

国阵滥用警方来打压净选盟709和平示威!

全国社青团副宣传秘书黄文标对于国阵领袖滥用警方来打压净选盟709和平示威,是为了保住政权和破坏民主精神的铁手腕政治手段。

也是行动党德彬丁宜区州议员的他,今天是为行动党金宝路支部主持会议后,表示这次净选盟的活动是要传达将来的大选能够在8个要点获得改变。如果国阵政府能够接纳对自己也是一件好事。但现在的局势很明显国阵已经产生杯弓蛇影的反应,采取各种如警方,法庭,土权,不租球场,甚至把充公的净选盟衣服画蛇添足般加汽油弹和巴冷刀来恐吓民众。

他指全世界的和平示威都没有在球场里进行,但是净选盟为了尊重最高元首所以也妥协了。但是现在首相和他的成员们明显失信。而且还设立路障导致堵车,而且在官方媒体把中东的暴力示威画为等号试图把罪行放在净选盟身上。

PRESS CONFERENCE ON PDC AQUACULTURE SDN BHD

Posted: 07 Jul 2011 11:38 PM PDT

PRESS CONFERENCE BY PENANG CHIEF MINISTER YAB LIM GUAN ENG ON 8TH JULY 2011 IN KOMTAR, GEORGE TOWN, PENANG ON PDC AQUACULTURE SDN BHD
1. The purpose of this Press Conference is to inform that PDC, through its wholly owned subsidiary, PDC Premier Holdings Sdn Bhd (Premier) has disposed off its entire 60% equity in PDC Aquaculture Sdn Bhd (PDCA) to its joint venture partner, GST Seafood Suppliers Sdn Bhd (GST) on 20 May 2010 at the sale price of RM1.3 million. The Share Sale Agreement was signed between both parties on 20 May 2010. Currently, the land is being leased to GST for a period of 15 years.

2. The rental rate is RM11,385.20 per month for the 1st 3 years but from Years 4 to 15, the rental will be RM22,770.50 per month. This rate is based on the valuation rate of RM330 per acre per month by Jabatan Perkhidmatan Penilaian Hartanah (JPPH). PDC has decided to give a 50% discount for the first 3 years to GST for agreeing to buy PDCA at JPPH's valuation price of RM1.3 million.

3. PDCA was established on 17 October 2005 with a paid-up capital of RM1.725 million. Premier’s cost of investment in PDCA amounted to RM1.035 million based on its 60% equity. PDCA commenced operation on 1 February 2006 and its main activity was to undertake aquaculture activity on a 69-acre site in Batu Kawan owned by PDC. The land was rented to PDCA at a monthly rental amounting to RM3,307.79 for a period of three (3) years commencing on 1 January 2007. This compares to RM11,385.20 per month for the first 3 years and RM22,770.50 per month for the subsequent 12 years under the new agreement.

4. The decision by PDC to divest from PDCA is because aquaculture is not the core activity of PDC and PDC does not have the relevant expertise to manage and operate the business efficiently. Moreover, the company has been incurring losses since its incorporation and based on its audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2008, its accumulated losses amounted to RM761,333 with a net tangible asset of RM0.56 per share. By selling the company at RM1.3 million, PDC has not only recouped its investment of RM1.035 million but even made a profit of RM 265,000.

5. As compared to the earlier monthly rental rate of RM3,307.79 charged by PDC to PDCA, the gain in rental to PDC for the 15-year period will amount to RM3.09 million. This is based on the new rental sum of RM3.69 million over 15 years as compared to RM0.60 million for the same period.

6. In other words, not only has PDC made a RM265,000 profit of its investment in a loss making company but has also increased rental revenue by 6 times of RM3.1 million from RM595,402 to RM 3,688,819.20. The total gain to PDC from this exercise will be RM 3,358,417. This demonstrates the benefits of CAT Governance by the new Pakatan Rakyat state government based on open market valuation.

As compared to the earlier monthly rental rate of RM3,307.79 charged by PDC to PDCA, the gain in rental to PDC for the 15-year period will amount to RM3.09 million. The breakdown is as follows:-

With the sale of PDCA, PDC has completely divested from the aquaculture business and is currently acting only as a landlord through the rental of the land to GST.

KENYATAAN AKHBAR OLEH KETUA MENTERI PULAU PINANG,
YAB LIM GUAN ENG PADA 8 JULAI 2011 DI KOMTAR, GEORGE TOWN
BERKENAAN ISU PDC AQUACULTURE SDN BHD
1. Tujuan sidang akhbar ini adalah untuk memaklumkan bahawa PDC melalui anak syarikat penuhnya, PDC Premier Holdings Sdn Bhd (Premier) telah melupuskan ekuiti 60 % dalam PDC Aquaculture Sdn Bhd (PDCA) untuk membolehkannya bekerjasama dengan GST Seafood Suppliers Sdn Bhd (GST) pada 20 Mei 2010 pada harga jualan sebanyak RM1.3 juta. Perjanjian Jualan Saham telah ditandatangani antara kedua- dua pihak pada 20 Mei 2010. Pada masa ini, tanah tersebut dipajak kepada GST bagi tempoh 15 tahun.

2. Kadar sewaan ialah RM11, 385.20 sebulan untuk tiga tahun pertama tetapi dari tahun 4 hingga 15, sewa yang dikenakan ialah RM22,770.50 sebulan. Kadar ini adalah berdasarkan kadar penilaian RM330 seekar sebulan oleh Jabatan Perkhidmatan Penilaian Hartanah (JPPH). PDC telah membuat keputusan untuk memberi diskaun 50% untuk 3 tahun pertama kepada GST untuk bersetuju membeli PDCA pada harga penilaian JPPH sebanyak RM1.3 juta.

3. PDCA telah ditubuhkan pada 17 Oktober 2005 dengan modal berbayar sebanyak RM1.725 juta. Kos premier untuk pelaburan dalam PDCA berjumlah RM1.035 juta berdasarkan ekuiti 60%. PDCA memulakan operasinya pada 1 Februari 2006 dan aktiviti utamanya adalah untuk menjalankan aktiviti akuakultur di tapak seluas 69 ekar di Batu Kawan yang dimiliki oleh PDC. Tanah itu disewakan kepada PDCA dengan sewa bulanan sebanyak RM3,307.79 untuk tempoh tiga (3) tahun bermula 1 Januari 2007. Berbanding dengan RM11,385.20 sebulan untuk tiga tahun pertama dan RM22,770.50 sebulan untuk 12 tahun berikutnya di bawah perjanjian baru.

4. Keputusan PDC untuk keluar dari PDCA adalah kerana akuakultur bukanlah aktiviti teras PDC dan PDC tidak mempunyai kepakaran yang relevan untuk mengurus dan mengendalikan perniagaan dengan cekap. Selain itu, syarikat juga telah menanggung kerugian sejak ditubuhkan dan berdasarkan akaun tahunan yang diaudit berakhir 31 Disember 2008, kerugian terkumpul berjumlah RM761, 333 dengan aset ketara bersih RM0.56 per saham. Dengan menjual syarikat pada harga RM1.3 juta, PDC bukan sahaja mendapat ganti rugi pelaburan sebanyak RM1.035 juta tetapi mengalami keuntungan sebanyak RM265, 000.

5. Berbanding dengan kadar sewaan bulanan sebelum ini iaitu RM3,307.79 yang dikenakan oleh PDC kepada PDCA, keuntungan sewa kepada PDC untuk tempoh 15 tahun berjumlah RM3.09 juta. Ini adalah berdasarkan kepada jumlah sewa baru sebanyak RM3.69 juta dalam tempoh 15 tahun berbanding RM0.60 juta untuk tempoh yang sama.

6. Dalam erti kata lain, bukan sahaja PDC memperolehi keuntungan pelaburan sebanyak RM265, 000 ketika kehilangan syarikat tetapi telah juga telah meningkatkan pendapatan sewa 6 kali ganda iaitu sebanyak RM3.1 juta daripada RM595, 402 kepada RM3,688, 819. Jumlah keuntungan oleh PDC daripada latihan tersebut ialah RM 3,358, 417. Ini menunjukkan manfaat daripada urustadbir CAT oleh Kerajaan Negeri Pakatan Rakyat yang berasaskan kepada penilaian pasaran terbuka.

Berbanding dengan kadar sewaan bulanan yang awal iaitu RM3, 307.79 yang dikenakan oleh PDC kepada PDCA, keuntungan sewa PDC untuk tempoh 15 tahun akan berjumlah RM3.09 juta. Butiran lanjut adalah seperti berikut :-

Dengan penjualan PDCA, PDC telah melepaskan perniagaan akuakultur dan kini hanya berperanan sebagai tuan tanah melalui sewa tanah kepada GST.

槟州首席部长林冠英于2011年7月8日在光大乔治市针对槟州发展机构水产养殖有限公司发表声明:

槟州发展机构已经通过其独资拥有的子公司PDC Premier Holdings Sdn Bhd (Premier) 在2010年5月10日,以130万令吉脱售了该公司在槟州发展机构水产养殖有限公司的60%股份给联营伙伴GST 海鲜供应商有限公司。上述二造已于2010年5月20日签署股份买卖合同。 目前,上述地段出租给GST有限公司15年。

有关地段的首三年租金为每个月1万1385令吉20仙,第四年开始至第15年,每个月租金为2万2770令吉50仙。这个租率是基于资产评估服务局的估价即每英亩每个月330令吉。GST答应以评估局的估价130万令吉收购槟发展机构水产养殖公司,槟发展机构已经决定在首三年为他们提供 50%折扣。

上述公司于2005年10月17日成立,缴足资本为172万5000令吉。槟发展机构在上述公司的60%股权缴足资本为100万3500令吉。槟发展机构水产养殖公司于2006年2月1日开始运作,它的主要业务是负责槟发展机构所在峇都加湾所拥有的一块69英亩的土地进行水产养殖。这块土地从2007年1月1日起,以每月3307令吉79仙出租给水产养殖公司,为期三年。

在新的协议下,首三年的月租为1万1385令吉20仙,接下来12年的月租为2万2770令吉50仙。

由于水产业不是槟发展机构的核心业务,加上槟发展机构没有相关专业来有效地管理及营运,因此槟发展机构将该公司脱售。根据其2008年12月31日的稽查报告,水产养殖公司一直面临亏损,它的累积亏损达76万1333令吉,净有形资产价值为每股56仙。槟发展机构以130万令吉脱售水产养殖公司后,不只拿回103万5000令吉的投资成本,还多赚26万5000令吉。

比起之前槟发展机构向槟水产养殖公司征收的租金3307令吉79仙,槟发展机构将从未来15年的租金赚取309万令吉。这是基于接下来15年369万令吉的总租金收入,原本同时期的租金收入为60万令吉。

换句话说,槟发展机构不只在面对亏损的公司的投资中赚了26万5000令吉,其租金收入也从59万5402令吉增加6倍,即310万令吉,达368万8819令吉20仙。槟发展机构从中获得的利润为335万8417令吉。这展示了新民联政府的能干、公信及透明施政在公开市场评估中带来的好处。

相比起之前槟发展机构向槟水产养殖公司征收的租金3307令吉79仙,槟发展机构未来15年的租金收入为309万令吉,细分如下:

随着脱售水产养殖公司,槟发展机构完全将其在水产业的生意转成纯粹向GST收租的地主。

SUHAKAM – THE RIGHT TO A PEACEFUL ASSEMBLY

Posted: 07 Jul 2011 06:49 PM PDT

The Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (SUHAKAM) welcomes the ongoing consultations between the authorities and BERSIH relating to the proposed assembly, which will now be held in a stadium, following the advice given by His Majesty Yang Di Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin on 4 July and the subsequent audience by BERSIH with His Majesty on 5 July 2011.

While welcoming this positive development, under the circumstances, the Commission wishes to reiterate that freedom of peaceful assembly is provided under Article 10(1)(b) of the Federal Constitution and Article 20(1) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), and that freedom of expression and opinion is provided under Article 19 of the UDHR.

The Commission looks forward to the early resolution of the matter between the authorities and BERSIH in the spirit of conciliation, as enjoined by His Majesty the Yang Di Pertuan Agong, and shall duly monitor the event.

The Commission also wishes to express its concern over the recent arrests and detentions of several Members of Parliament and activists under Section 3(1) of the Emergency (Public Order and Prevention of Crime) Ordinance 1969 and calls on the authorities to immediately release all those who are still being detained. They should be accorded their rights to an open trial with legal representation as enshrined in Articles 9, 10 and 11 of the UDHR which state that no one shall be subjected to arbitrary detention; everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair public hearing; and everyone has the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty.
As a member of the UN Human Rights Council, it is incumbent upon the Government to uphold the highest standards in the promotion and protection of the rights of the people. In this regard, the Commission has consistently called for repeal of all preventive detention laws and reiterates that detention without trial is a violation of human rights principle

Running Scared in Malaysia

Posted: 07 Jul 2011 06:26 PM PDT

By John R. Malott


The Malaysian government has pulled out all the stops to prevent an opposition rally this weekend. This week, army units conducted crowd control exercises with banners that said, “Disperse or we will shoot!” The police set up roadblocks and arrested Malaysians simply for wearing yellow T-shirts, the signature color of Bersih, a coalition of 62 nongovernmental organizations that demands changes in Malaysia’s electoral system. To date, the police have arrested over 250 supporters of Bersih, claiming that they are “waging war against the king.”

Then something unprecedented happened. Malaysia’s King Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin, allegedly the target of Bersih’s campaign, intervened. He called on both Prime Minister Najib Razak and Bersih to resolve their differences in a spirit of harmony and cooperation, for the good of the nation.

There was a collective sigh of relief in Malaysia. The leader of Bersih, Ambiga Sreenevasan, an attorney and former president of the Malaysian Bar Council, met with the king and announced that the “Walk for Democracy,” as it was called, was cancelled. She said that she was ready to meet with the government to discuss Bersih’s concerns about electoral fairness. Prime Minister Najib then offered an olive branch, saying, “We are willing to provide a stadium for them to rally in … from morning until night,” an offer that Ms. Ambiga and Bersih immediately accepted.

Then Mr. Najib backed off. His government says that because Bersih is still illegal, it cannot apply for a permit. It also has banned Bersih’s leadership from entering Kuala Lumpur on the day of the rally. On Thursday, he joined a gathering of martial artists who said that their 50,000 members will “wage war” against Bersih. Donning their militant uniform, Mr. Najib said, “If there are evil enemies who want to attack the country from within, you, my brothers, will rise to fight them.”

Mr. Najib has undermined the authority of the king, who gave Bersih and its concerns credence by meeting with its leadership and calling for a negotiated solution. The political situation in Malaysia is a fast-moving target, and each day brings new developments. Ms. Ambiga and Bersih now say that because of Mr. Najib’s actions, they will go ahead with their assembly, no matter what.

Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. Bersih’s main issue is not freedom of assembly but the fairness of Malaysia’s democratic process. Bersih’s backers ask how anyone can be opposed to free and fair elections.

It’s an easy question to answer. The United Malays National Organization, of which Mr. Najib is president, is the longest continuing ruling party in the world, and it is running scared.

In the last general election in 2008, Malaysia’s opposition took 47% of the popular vote. That year Parti Keadilan Rakyat, the party of Mr. Najib’s nemesis Anwar Ibrahim, went from one seat to 31. The establishment parties in Malaysia’s neighboring states are also in retreat. The opposition scored a major victory in Thailand last weekend, and in Singapore opposition candidates made surprising gains. No wonder Mr. Najib and company are worried.

Many observers of Malaysian politics believe that electoral reform will lead to the ruling party’s defeat, and that is why UMNO is afraid of Bersih. In the last election in 2008, the party received only one-third of the nation’s votes. UMNO rules only because of its coalition with other political parties, which it increasingly marginalizes, that represent the Chinese and Indian minorities.

Mr. Najib and his allies say that the opposition’s gains in 2008 prove that Malaysia’s elections are free and fair. Impartial observers disagree. Academic studies have enumerated how the Election Commission gerrymanders electoral districts to benefit the ruling party. The U.S. Department of State’s human rights report bluntly states that opposition parties are unable to compete on equal terms with the governing coalition because of restrictions on campaigning and freedom of assembly and association. “News of the opposition,” the U.S. says, is “tightly restricted and reported in a biased fashion.”

In the recent state elections in Sarawak, the government announced $390 million in local projects during the run-up to the polls. Prime Minister Najib was caught on video tape telling one village gathering that the government would give them 5 million ringgit ($1.5 million) for a local project on Monday, but only if they elected his candidate on Sunday.

Who would win elections in Malaysia that truly are free and fair? The U.S. State Department reports that despite the many election irregularities during the 2008 elections, “most observers concluded they did not substantially alter the results.” But unless the electoral reforms that Bersih is calling for are made, we will never know.

Despite the government’s intimidation, thousands of Malaysian citizens of all races and religions are expected to exercise their constitutional right to assemble and call for free and fair elections. Tomorrow’s protest represents a brave step in what not just Malaysians but also the international community should hope will begin the country’s transition to full democracy. Mr. Najib should display his own courage and ensure that a peaceful rally that seeks the fundamental rights of democratic peoples everywhere does not turn into a bloody confrontation.

Najib should postpone his overseas trip?

Posted: 07 Jul 2011 01:16 AM PDT

The censorship of memory is a clear mark of a dictator. Malaysia’s Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak is no exception.

Not only did he flip flop on his decision to meet with Bersih 2.0 representatives, the premier also cleverly denied them access to hold a peaceful rally in Stadium Merdeka this Saturday.

If this is not embarrassing enough, Najib is set to leave the country tomorrow.

His official engagements in the UK and meeting with the Pope in Vatican City cannot be put on hold.

Any leader would stay in his country during the time of a political turmoil. Our Prime Minister is abandoning the nation at its most crucial time.

Every Malaysian is aware of the tension in the country over the last two weeks.

The nation has been besieged by arbitrary arrests, detentions and harassment against activists.

Najib’s cowardly act is of no surprise. We have seen the same during the time of former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

He was nowhere to be seen when the Operasi Lalang was carried out by the police on October 27, 1987.

A total of 106 opposition leaders and social activists were arrested under the Internal Security Act (ISA), which allows for detention without trial. The publishing licenses of two dailies, The Star and Sin Chew Jit Poh, were revoked.

When Dr Mahathir returned to the country, he blamed the former police chief Hanif Omar for the arrests.

Are we going to see a repeat of government crackdown on Friday?

Will Najib leave, only to pave the way for more arbitrary arrests under ISA? Will his absence be used to declare a state of emergency in Kuala Lumpur?

Nothing that the government does would surprise Malaysians anymore. The ruling UMNO/BN leaders have proven over and over that they would not hesitate to abuse their power to keep their positions intact.

This is shameless behavior.If Najib cares two hoots about the country and people, he will stay put.

Otherwise, he will only be too happy to get on the flight with his packed bags, leaving his cabinet ministers and police to do the dirty work for him.

Tomorrow, we would know the true calibre of this man
