Christians: "Enough is Enough"!

Posted: 16 Mar 2011 07:01 PM PDT

When I heard of churches gathering at Kingwood Inn few days ago to protest the seizure of 30,000 bibles, I know that the Christian have enough of being pushed to the walls.


We Christian are a forgiving lot. We are taught to forgive our enemies, pray for them and to live in harmony with one another through respect and love.


So when the Kuching Ministers Fellowship, Miri Pastors Fellowship, Sibu Pastors Fellowship, Bintulu Pastors Fellowship and Gempuru Besai Raban Jaku Iban Malaysia (an alliance of Iban churches) joined together few days ago to protest against the unfair treatment of Christians in this lovely land of Sarawak, it shows that the most tolerant of the lot had surrender and said 'enough is enough'.


Sarawak makes up of over 40% Christians. In this land, we live in harmony with the Buddhist, Hindu and Muslims. We find no fault with one another. We eat together, rejoice together, work together and even in death, we offer each other sympathy.


Today, the Christians are unhappy. It is not because of our Muslim, Hindu or Buddhist friends. It is the system, the government system that gives hardship to the Christians and their churches with their many rules and regulations.


Sarawak is a land of freedom of religion. Why has it become so? Why are the Christians being 'prosecuted' and expected to remain silent. The churches never want to politicize issues connected to the churches. Today, they stood up not because of political reasons but because of the system that is so unfair to them.


The system comes from the Government of the Day. The system must be changed so that the condition in which Sarawak formed part of Malaysia would be respected. That means the Government must be changed so that Christians can worship in peace and without repercussion.


"Article 8 of the Federal Constitution states that "All persons are equal before the law and entitled to the equal protection of the law", and "there shall be no discrimination against citizens on the ground only of religion, race, descent, place of birth or gender in any law".


Article 11 provides for every person to have " the rights to profess and practice his religion," and that every religion group has the right (a) to manage its own religious affairs, (b) to establish and maintain institutions for religious or charitable purposes, and (c) to acquire and own property and build and administer it in accordance with the law.


Under the 18 point Agreement of Sarawak in the formation of Malaysia, it is clearly stated that there is no official religion in Sarawak. "


The seizure of the Bibles at the Kuching Port is not only unconstitutional but it also violates the spirit of the agreement for Sarawak to participate in the formation of the Malaysia. Will more Bibles be seized again in the further? How many rules and regulations do the Christians have to comply? How many obstacles do the Christians have to face so that their church members can get a Bible in their hands, praise the Lord our God without fear. The present system has to go.

Isa's appointment 'not hurting stocks'

Source: http://www.nst.com.my/nst/articles/14pmd/Article (16/3/2011)
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak yesterday described as baseless and irrelevant allegations of jitters in the stock market caused by the appointment of Tan Sri Mohd Isa Abdul Samad as Felda chairman. "It has no bearing on the share price movements," he said in a written reply in the Dewan Rakyat to a question from Lim Lip Eng (DAP-Segambut).
Lim had asked the prime minister to give the rationale for appointing Isa as Felda chairman despite his credibility being allegedly affected when he was found to be involved in money politics by Umno, and whether the good name of Felda would be affected, thus causing jitters in the stock market.

Najib said Isa's appointment was based on his vast experience in administration, management, leadership and people relations. "His experience in administration, politics and community development meets the criteria for the appointment as Felda chairman, a post where he is directly involved in matters pertaining to the development of Felda and its settlers. "At the moment, none of the Felda subsidiaries are listed on the stock market." Nevertheless, he said, Felda's business partners in the country and overseas continue to support its business activities.
"The demand for Felda's primary commodity, for example palm oil, is strong and competitive in the international market." -- Bernama

Telekom land in USJ 6

Posted: 16 Mar 2011 10:07 AM PDT


At the press conference with YB Gobind Singh, YB Khalid Samad and YB Loh Gwo Burne

THE Selangor Appeals Board hearing over the USJ 6 Telekom Malaysia land issue last Friday raised eyebrows when a traffic consultant said a development project can continue even though traffic in some of its surrounding areas was rated 'F'.

Traffic consultant Amir Hamlan Abdullah from AZ Traffic Management Consult, who was engaged by the land vendor and developer, defended his traffic impact assessment (TIA) report done in 2008.

He told the Appeals Board it was still acceptable for the development project to continue even though most of the junctions were rated 'F'.

The F rating is described as 'saturated traffic' at its worst.

"I agree that by 2020, the area will be a mess and most of the junctions will be at levels E and F," he said when asked by lawyer Gobind Singh Deo who represents the residents who are appellants in this case.

When questioned by Gobind, the consultant said the number of cars generated from the project would not be high and hence will not have a big impact on the roads.

Also in attendance current MPSJ councillor for USJ 6, Rajiv Rishyakaran

"As roads in this area will reach saturation point, the additional traffic will be diverted elsewhere. This traffic problem can also be tackled and improved with public transportation when the LRT comes into Subang Jaya, USJ and Puchong," said the consultant.

The TIA and traffic impact on surrounding neighbourhood were topics heavily deliberated and heard by the board comprising president Datuk Abu Bakar Awang and members Ho Khong Ming and Datuk Azmeer Rashid.

The appellant in this case is resident Lee Wan Nam while the respondent is the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) and interverners being TM Facilities Sdn Bhd and Pujangga Budiman Sdn Bhd, who are the land vendor and developer respectively.

Residents are challenging the State Planning Committee and MPSJ's approval for the proposed development of one block of nine-storey commercial block with two floors of sub-basement carpark in November 2008.

The residents also contend the land was designated as a Telekom exchange or utility reserve but land vendor TM Facilities has since sold it to the developer for commercial purposes.

Earlier, USJ 11 resident Dr Leong Choon Heng who is also the head of transportation and logistics programme for the Malaysia University of Science of Technology in Kelana Jaya from 2002 to 2010, was called in as witness.

"Based on the TIA report, I opine the conclusions made do not reflect the data that is being collected.

"There are internal inconsistencies in the report and I am of the opinion the proposed construction can only make the surroundings worse," said Leong.

He contended that USJ 6 was already a mature residential neighbourhood and with the main road jammed up, more cars would be dispersed to neighbourhood streets.

"Small roads and parks will suffer the spillover effect in the form of increased cars that may be speeding."

MPSJ legal department director Anita Abd Jalil then told Leong since he could not be considered a qualified professional, his own counter-report could only be taken as a public opinion.

"Do you know the MPSJ has approved for the main egress and ingress of the project to be at the main road and not the side road as not to affect the residential area?

"Also, the entire project is fenced up. Do you also know we approved the development based on the developer has provided more carpark spaces than what the council has expected?" she asked.

The lawyer representing the land developer and land vendor, Abu Bakar Jais, asked Leong if he agreed the details collected and reflected in the report is quite extensive and if it was a fair report.

Leong reiterated the conclusions made are inconsistent with the data collected, and said he only thinks it is fair in terms of the extensiveness of research and the methodologies used for the data collection.

Abu Bakar Jais said his client is providing 158 parking lots and the building is for use of office only.

Board president Abu Bakar said there will be a minimum 100 cars coming out of the building once ready, although not all at the same time.

"A backflow would be created because cars from inner roads will have to stop to give way to cars on the main road that are at a gridlock. There will be those that will find alternative side roads seeing the congestion on the main road.

"So the question is how do you stop outside drivers from going into the neighbourhood? And by then, will be level of service in this area be F+++?" he asked.

He also admitted the conclusions made are inconsistent with the data collected.

Subang Jaya assemblyman Hannah Yeoh, who sat in the proceedings, said she is disappointed with the State Planning Committee for not calling for an independent traffic study and chose to rely on the developer's traffic study.

"In June 2008 when there was a public hearing on this project, the residents had asked for an independent traffic study to be conducted since they do not have resources on their own. However, they were not given one.

"The developer did its traffic report in September 2008 and in November, the project had been approved. The traffic report was only given to the residents in January 2009," said Yeoh.

She said as the project is a conditional development, the residents were never notified the details of the conditions as they were dealt directly between MPSJ and developer.

The site is still under the title of Telekom although it had sold part of the land on a conditional sale to the developer.

Yeoh said in 2005 and 2006, MPSJ had ruled that the land cannot be subdivided purely because it is a Telekom reserve and questioned how a utility land can be sold.

This case has had a long history following the approval given in late 2008. The aggrieved residents filed an appeal in March 2009 and in October 2009. There was a revocation on the approval but it was not endorsed by the State Planning Committee.

However, the residents' joy was shortlived as several MPSJ councillors and its then president Datuk Adnan Md Ikshan cancelled the revocation in an ad-hoc meeting on April 2010.

The hearing resumes on March 30.

DPM Should Re-think Pro-Nuclear Policy: People’s Safety & Not Corporate Profits.

Posted: 15 Mar 2011 11:19 PM PDT

Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin's statement yesterday that Malaysia aims to proceed with its nuclear ambition is highly irresponsible and down-right ignorant of state responsibility to its citizens.

The events of the last five days involving Fukushima power plant should remind all of the catastrophic risk associated with nuclear power plants. In fact, it is a wake-up call to the reality of nuclear power.

Despite this alarming situation, the Deputy Prime Minister is adamant that the government continues with its plan to build two nuclear power plants in Malaysia.

However, there appears to be an enlightened rethinking on the future of nuclear power plants in countries that have experience in managing them for over 3-4 decades. .

Chancellor Angela Merkel indicated that seven nuclear reactors in Germany built before 1980 will be shut during a three-month review of nuclear-plant safety and ordered a rethinking of the country's nuclear strategy.

This is a significant reversal by Chancellor Merkel whose government just months ago vouched for the plants’ safety.

In fact, the Chancellor indicated that nuclear safety was her highest priority and "everything else must submit to that"

The Swiss government indicated that they are putting on hold all plans for new nuclear energy plants until safety norms can be reviewed.

In fact, the EU energy commissioner Guenther Oettingerts indicated that Europe should be thinking of a "foreseeable future, [where Europe] can secure our energy needs without nuclear energy"

These views are motivated by an emerging notion that no amount of safety planning and protocols can foresee every accident that might befall a nuclear power plant. Put differently,   nuclear plants can never be guaranteed safe

The questions being raised about the safety of nuclear power plants are absolutely justified.

But we might never know the truth given the lies and deception spewed by nuclear corporate interests working together with respective states in managing popular perception of nuclear power plants.

Chernobyl clean-up expert Iouli Andreev accused corporations and the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of will-fully ignoring lessons from the world’s worst nuclear accident 25 years ago to protect the industry’s expansion.

In fact, he suggests that the UN agency and nuclear industries cosy relationship undermined standards.

He notes that greed in the nuclear industry and corporate influence over the UNs IAEA are partially responsible for the Fukushima nuclear disaster.

In July 2000, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) was accused of faking safety data relating to cracks in the Fukushima Daiichi 1. There has been a lingering suspicion that safety issues identified at that time were never adequately addressed given the close relationship between TEPCO and the state.

WikiLeaks, revealed that Japanese politician Taro Kono, a high-profile member of Japan’s lower house, informing US diplomats that the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry – the Japanese government department responsible for nuclear energy – has been “covering up nuclear accidents and obscuring the true costs and problems associated with the nuclear industry”.

Malaysia suffers from the same cosy relationship between private corporations and the state and thus should constitute another reason why it is dangerous to build power plants in the country.

It is important to note that Japan embarked on a nuclear strategy because it lacked domestic fossil fuel alternatives.

 

Malaysia has no such excuse as we have oil, gas, biomass, hydro resources, and abundant sunshine.

Thus, I suggest Muhyiddin  re-thinks his pro-nuclear proposal in the interests of the Malaysian public and not fall prey to corporate lobbying and profits.

Home Minister "Released" Bibles since June 2010

Posted: 16 Mar 2011 08:35 AM PDT

Pua reveals Hisham ordered BM bibles release in 2010
By Clara Chooi March 14, 2011

KUALA LUMPUR, March 14 — DAP MP Tony Pua unveiled documents today showing Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein had issued orders last June for the release of 5,100 Malay-language bibles currently impounded at Port Klang.

The home minister had said over the weekend that the bibles had been impounded due to the ministry's pending court appeal on the Catholic weekly The Herald's use of the word "Allah" in its publications.

But the Petaling Jaya Utara MP revealed that Hishammuddin, in his written reply to Parliament on June 7 last year, had announced that a notice had already been issued to the books' importers urging them retrieve their consignment.

"There are a total of 5,100 Al-Kitab Berita Baik books detained. Notice has already been sent to the importers to retrieve the consignment but until now, they have failed to do so.

"The publications are being stored in good condition in the Home Ministry's Port Klang office although the deadline for the importers to retrieve them has expired," was Hishammuddin's written response to a question from Pua last year.

Pua charged that since the consignment in question is still being impounded in Port Klang, Hishammuddin had misled the House with his answer.

He added that this was further compounded by The Malaysian Insider's publication yesterday of a ministry letter dating June 10, 2010, where a senior official wrote that the appeal by the book's importer, Bible Society of Malaysia (BSM) had been considered and the ministry had agreed to release the consignment.
"So it is a lie on two fronts," Pua told a press conference in Parliament this afternoon.

He also referred to a response from Hishammuddin yesterday where the minister claimed that the Bibles had been impounded due to the ministry's pending court appeal on the Catholic weekly The Herald's use of the word "Allah" in its publications.

In his statement, Hishammuddin had also said that the ministry was presently awaiting advice from the Attorney-General to determine its next move in the controversy.

"So this is what is happening today. A lie on two fronts... the reply from the minister is a lie. And yet there is a letter proving that the notice was indeed sent.

"So you (BSM) can claim it back but until today, you still cannot claim it back? Now you (Hishammuddin) say you have to refer to the A-G but yet in Parliament earlier, you said the books were released.

"Is this because the minister is just misleading the Parliament to discourage any further questions?" said Pua.

He urged the ministry to take responsibility over the issue and clear any confusion by ordering the immediate release of the confiscated Bibles to the BSM.

This, he said, included the additional 30,000 Malay-language Bibles which are also presently held by the Home Ministry at the Kuching port.

"There should be freedom of religion in this country where Christians are allowed to practise in whatever language they please as long as these Bibles are not distributed to the Muslims," said Pua.

DAP's Bandar Kuching MP Chong Chieng Jen agreed and added that as the issue was of public interest, it would likely be highlighted by the opposition during its campaign in the Sarawak polls.

"This is definitely an issue that concerns the people and it is unfair of the Barisan Nasional (BN) so of course we will highlight it.

"The BN government is being oppressive to those of other religions," he said.
