| Happy New Year 2015 Posted: 29 Dec 2014 11:09 PM PST Never has any nation lost 3 planes in a disaster in one year. Floods of the worst kind and religions racial sentiments so openly and publicly expressed. It's been a tough year, the coming year is no better, with oil prices at the level they are does not augur well for a smooth 2015.
Our main worry is the changes that are taking place now, the inter-religion, inter-ethnics conflicts which we see now, have not been played out so publicly which is threatening peace and harmony in the country.
Rather than paying attention to the needs of the people, groups seem to be more interested in religious and racial issues.
Our educational system needs a revamp but we don't seem to want to make a change for the better. Again we fight over religion and race, rather than a system which we move the nation forward.
The country does not need Hudud now, what it needs is social and economic changes which will see us through these challenging times.
Selangor has had a turbulent year, with a change in leadership. We had to do it to save guard Selangor and to move forward. After all the controversy, Y.B. Azmin Ali has been given the mandate for the next 3 years. We congratulate him in the first 100 days (the honeymoon is over), now we have to prove to the public that we made the right choice. The MB must be prepared to make some brave changes, some of which may not go down well with our PR members. But these choices need to be made to proof that changes will bring about rewards in the long term.
Some of the area which Selangor should concentrate on are:
1. To improve infrastructure in the rural area, to provide growth, with the opening up of these areas, eg., Sabak Bernam, Sg Besar.
2. To rejuvenate Bukit Beruntung and Lembah Beringin. These two should be given extra attention e.g. Bukit Beruntung should have a railway stop; we should work with KTM to expedite this process. It needs re-planning, with the state taking the lead and inviting the private sector in this program.
3. Affordable housing is a must. We must use all our means to make this a success.
4. Improve the quality of the local councils. Action must be taken against council that do not follow instructions and seem to delay the work. People want to see these changes!
5. Federal agencies e.g., JKR, JPS must work with the government of the day to make sure taxpayers money is used properly.
We must not forget that Selangor contributes about 25% towards national GDP. The Selangor people demand that an appropriate sum be spent in Selangor. We need more hospitals, health care facilities, dialysis centres, public transport infrastructure and more schools!
With the implementation of GST, again Selangor will pay the most to the Federal Welfares, we need to see more changes.
Yes, the coming Year is going to be tough, but if we move as a nation everyone will benefit. The future is bright, let's respect one another and enjoy the fruits of our nation.
HAPPY NEW YEAR

| Kita Perlu Bertindak Sebagai Satu Pasukan Posted: 29 Dec 2014 05:29 AM PST Kejadian bencana banjir besar kali ini merupakan antara yang paling buruk dalam sejarah Malaysia dan telah memberi kesan kepada lebih 220,000 orang di 5 buah negeri dan mengakibatkan kerosakan kepada terlalu banyak harta benda awam dan peribadi. Pada masa yang sama, begitu ramai rakyat Malaysia – tanpa mengenal usia, jantina, kaum, mahupun beda politik – telah tampil menghulurkan bantuan dalam bentuk dana, barangan keperluan, dan tenaga. Saya telah berhubung dengan Dato’ Menteri Besar Selangor, YAB Mohamed Azmin Ali dan meminta beliau memberikan bantuan sebanyak yang mampu. Saya juga telah mengarah seluruh jentera parti di semua negeri agar turut membantu dalam usaha pengagihan barangan keperluan serta kerja-kerja pembersihan di kawasan-kawasan di mana air bah telah surut. Saya menggesa agar semua pihak bertindak sebagai satu pasukan, dan menyokong langkah Kerajaan Persekutuan dalam usaha menangani bencana ini, serta menggesa agar diluluskan peruntukan segera untuk makanan dan ubat-ubatan, terutama untuk kawasan-kawasan kritikal. Saya juga mengusulkan supaya Kerajaan Pusat menyediakan satu rancangan yang menyeluruh untuk memperbaiki atau membangunkan semula rumah-rumah yang telah musnah akibat banjir besar ini. Saya, Azizah dan seluruh keluarga KEADILAN terus memanjangkan doa kepada Allah SWT agar bencana ini akan reda, dan diringankan beban yang dialami semua yang terkesan. ANWAR IBRAHIM
