Life is daily being torn down by sordid images of sex video and graphic descriptions of a certain sodomy court

Posted: 27 Apr 2011 06:27 PM PDT

Dear YB,
As a parent, I work hard to ensure, at least in my own home, that my children are protected from the assaults of sex upon their tender senses. I am angered that what I work so hard at is daily being torn down by sordid images of sex video and graphic descriptions of a certain sodomy court case taking place right now. This is a violation of my personal space as well as that of my family and is completely unacceptable. Please raise this issue to the public and pressure BN to stop such violations through our media. Media practitioners themselves also must be pressured into being prudent what is being published or broadcasted. Otherwise, how can our children be kept safe from such depraved assaults?
Please speak up for us.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Doh Mee Yuen

Only Pakatan Rakyat(PR) Will Place More Importance On The People’s Health And Public Safety Than The Blind Pursuit Of Profits By Ensuring ThatThere Are No Nuclear Facility Or Rare Earths Mines In Penang.(en/bm/cn)

Posted: 27 Apr 2011 09:27 PM PDT

Only PR will place more importance on the people's health and public safety than the blind pursuit of corporate profits by ensuring that there are no nuclear facilities or rare earths mines in Penang. Shocking online revelations that the Perak state government had secretly agreed to allow a Hong Kong company to explore and mine for rare earths in the state, even as controversy is raging over the Lynas refinery in Gebeng, Pahang.

In a filing to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange dated April 18, CVM Minerals Limited announced it had entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Perak State Development Corporation (PSDC) to carry out the project in Bukit Merah, Ipoh.

The Hong Kong company, through its local subsidiary CVM Metal Recycle Sdn Bhd, has applied to the state's land and mineral office for a licence to explore the area, covering 250 hectares, for rare earths.

Bukit Merah is the site of Malaysia's last rare earths plant 20 years ago, which is still undergoing a massive RM300 million clean-up. Once the licence is granted, CVM Minerals and PKNP would enter into an agreement setting out the terms and conditions of their participation in the project. According to the proposed joint-venture, CVM Minerals would be the major shareholder while PKNP would control 135,300,000 shares of CVM Minerals, approximately 4.73 percent of the entire issued share capital.

Environmentalists have raised questions over radioactive waste being produced and stored at Lynas's Gebeng plant, fearing a repeat of the Japanese-owned Mitsubishi Chemical's Asian Rare Earth (ARE) plant, which has been linked to eight cases of leukaemia, seven resulting in death. Recently the Federal government had announced a one-month review of the nearly completed Australian-owned Lynas rare-earth refinery in Pahang following health and safety concerns.

Not just the people of Perak but many Malaysians oppose this short-sighted decision.
Clearly BN in its pursuit for blind profits is willing to put aside environmental concerns and place the health and safety of the people at risk. The people of Perak must quickly restore the PR government of Dato Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin to prevent this rare earth mines from operating in Perak.

First it is Pahang and now Perak, rare earths plants spring up unhindered without proper and full consultation with the people of its possible high risk impact.

Only PR-ruled states have taken a firm and uncompromising stand against rare-earth refineries and mines. PR states like Penang have even gone a step further by writing to the Federal Government opposing any proposed nuclear energy facility to be located in the state.

The Penang state government had written to Dato Sri Peter Chin Minister of Energy, Green Technology and Water, on 21 March 2011 opposing the building of a nuclear plant in Malaysia. The Penang state government had also affirmed the ban on any such facility in Penang.

In the light of the nuclear disaster in a highly-advanced country like Japan, the BN government should not proceed. How can BN be trusted to ensure the safety and health standards of such a dangerous and high risk project like nuclear plant, when the BN government can not build a stadium without its roof collapsing or the roof of Parliament leaking?

In his reply to me on 20 April 2011 Dato Sri Peter Chin said that it was unlikely that any such nuclear facility would be built in Penang due to the high population density. However he stated the BN government's determination to proceed with the building of the nuclear plants by 2020 elsewhere in Malaysia.

The people of Penang can sleep safely and be assured of their children's health as long as PR is in power. Unfortunately for those living in BN states, they will likely have a nuclear plant by 2020. Clearly BN is willing to gamble with the people's health and safety.

Only a PR ruled state like Penang is not willing to take such risks. For this reason the people of Perak and Pahang as well as other BN states should learn an important lesson that only a PR ruled state can ensure that there is no rare earths refinery or mines or nuclear facilities to threaten their health and safety of their families.

Kenyataan Akhbar oleh Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang, YAB Lim Guan Eng pada 28 April 2011 di Komtar, George Town.

Hanya Pakatan Rakyat (PR) yang akan menjamin kepentingan kesihatan dan keselamatan rakyat dengan memastikan tiada kemudahan loji nuklear atau perlombongan nadir bumi (rare earth) di Pulau Pinang

Hanya Pakatan Rakyat (PR) adalah satu- satunya yang akan mengutamakan kesihatan rakyat dan kepentingan umum dari mengejar keuntungan syarikat dengan memastikan tiada kemudahan nuklear mahupun projek pemprosesan nadir bumi (rare earths) di Pulau Pinang. Sangat mengejutkan apabila kerajaan negeri Perak secara senyap telah bersetuju dengan sebuah syarikat di Hong Kong untuk membenarkan projek pelombongan nadir bumi dibina di negeri itu sedangkan kemarahan orang ramai masih timbul ke atas kontroversi pembinaan Kilang Lynas di Gebeng, Pahang.

Dalam laporannya kepada Bursa Saham Hong Kong bertarik 18 Mei, CVM Minerals Limited telah mengumumkan bahawa satu memorandum persefahaman (MoU) telah ditandatangi bersama dengan Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Perak (PKNP) bagi melaksanakan projek tersebut di Bukit Merah, Ipoh.

Syarikat Hong Kong tersebut melalui anak syarikat tempatan, CVM Metal Recycle Sdn Bhd telah memohon lesen kepada Pejabat Tanah dan Galian Negeri bagi membolehkan mereka meneroka kawasan yang dijangka meliputi 250 hektar bagi melombong nadir bumi.

Bukit Merah juga merupakan kawasan bagi loji nadir bumi di Malaysia 20 tahun lalu, yang masih berhadapan dengan kerja-kerja pelupusan sisa radioaktif yang berjumlah RM300 juta. Sebaik memperolehi lesen, CVM Mineral dan PKNP akan menandatangani perjanjian bagi menetapkan terma dan syarikat dalam melaksanakan projek tersebut. Menurut sumber, CVM Mineral akan menjadi pemegang saham utama sementara PKNP akan menguruskan 135, 300, 000 saham CVM iaitu kira- kira 4.73 peratus dari keseluruhan saham syarikat itu.

Aktivis alam sekitar telah menimbulkan kebimbangan akan sisa radioaktif yang bakal dikeluarkan dan disimpan di kompleks loji pemprosesan Lynas di Gebeng dengan merujuk kepada nasib yang menimpa Asian Rare Earth Milk yang dikaitkan dengan lapan kes leukimia termasuk tujuh kematian. Baru- baru ini kerajaan Persekutuan telah mengumumkan bahawa laporan lengkap sebulan dari Lynas hampir siap dan diikuti dengan peraturan dan langkah- langkah keselamatan.

Bukan hanya rakyat Perak malah seluruh rakyat Malaysia menentang keputusan yang pendek fikiran ini.

Jelas Barisan Nasional (BN) terlalu mengejar keuntungan sehingga buta dalam mengutamakan masalah lingkungan hidup, keselamatan dan kesihatan yang terpaksa ditanggung oleh rakyat. Rakyat Perak harus bangkit semula bagi mengembalikan kerajaan PR di bawah pimpinan Dato Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin bagi mengelakkan projek pelombongan nadir bumi terus beroperasi di Perak.

Pada mulanya Pahang dan sekarang Perak. Pelombongan nadir bumi ini sememangnya tidak boleh dipandang ringan tanpa mengadakan rundingan yang sewajajarnya kerana risiko yang bakal ditanggung amat tinggi.

Hanya negeri diperintah Pakatan Rakyat (PR) yang mengambil sikap tegas dan tanpa berkrompomi menentang pemprosesan dan pelombongan nadir bumi ini. Pakatan Rakyat seperti Pulau Pinang telah berlengah telah bertindak lebih maju dengan terlebih dahulu menulis surat kepada Kerajaan Persekutuan umtuk menentang setiap kemudahan loji nuklear untuk ditempatkan di negeri ini.

Kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang telah menulis surat kepada Menteri Tenaga, Teknologi Hijau dan Air,Dato’ Sri Peter Chin pada 21 Mac 2011 sebagai bantahan terhadap pembangunan kilang nuklear di Malaysia. Kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang juga turut menyatakan pendirian kerajaan negeri untuk tidak membenarkan sebarang kemudahan seperti itu di Pulau Pinang.

Selepas berlakunya bencana nuklear di negara secanggih Jepun, kerajaan BN seharusnya menghentikan projek tersebut. Bagaimana BN boleh memastikan tiada risiko berbahaya sejurus pembinaan loji nuklear kepada kesihatan dan keselamatan awam ketika kerajaan BN tidak boleh membina bumbung stadium tanpa runtuh dan memastikan atap Parlimen tidak bocor?

Melalui surat yang dibalas kepasa saya pada 20 April 2011, Dato Peter Chin mengatakan bahawa adalah mustahil untuk membina loji nuklear di Pulau Pinang kerana kepadatan penduduknya yang tinggi. Namun tekad kerajaan BN adalah untuk meneruskan pembangunan loji nuklear menjelang 2020 di kawasan lain di Malaysia.

Rakyat Pulau Pinang boleh tidur dengan aman dan yakin tentang keselamatan anak- anak mereka selagi PR memerintah. Malangnya kepada mereka yang tinggal di negeri- negeri di bawah pemerintahan BN kerana negeri tersebut berkemungkinan mempunyai loji nuklear menjelang tahun 2020. Jelas BN telah memperjudikan kesihatan dan keselamatan rakyat.

Hanya negeri Pakatan Rakyat (PR) seperti Pulau Pinang tidak sanggup menanggung risiko tersebut. Atas alasan ini jugalah rakyat Perak, Pahang serta negeri- negeri BN lain harus belajar bahawa hanya kerajaan pemerintahan PR dapat memastikan bahawa projek pemprosesan nadir bumi serta sebarang pembinaan loji nuklear dibina yang boleh mengancam kesihatan dan keselamatan keluarga mereka.

槟州首席部长林冠英于2011年4月28日,在乔治市光大发表声明:

唯有民联才会注重人民的健康及公共安全,确保槟城不会兴建核电厂或稀土厂,而不是盲目地追求利益。

唯有民联才会注重人民的健康及公共安全,确保槟城不会兴建核电厂或稀土厂,而不是盲目地追求利益。网络媒体揭发,正当彭亨州在关丹格宾兴建莱纳稀土提炼厂引起公忿时,霹雳州政府还秘密地允许香港公司在州内进行稀土采矿。

香港南亚矿业有限公司(CVM Minerals Limited)在4月18日向香港股票交易所呈报,它与霹州政府旗下的霹雳州发展机构(PKNP)已签署一项备忘录,一起在该州怡保红泥山展开"勘探及开采稀土及其他潜在矿产"的计划。

这家香港公司通过的子公司南亚金属循坏有限公司(CVM Metal Recycle Sdn Bhd)在2011年4月18日已针对该计划,向霹州土地及矿物局呈交稀土勘探执照申请,涉及的土地面积约250公顷。

红坭山是马来西亚20年前另一个稀土厂的地点,目前还在进行着价值3亿令吉的清理工作。一旦执照获批准,南亚矿业有限公司及霹雳州发展机构将会签署协定, 列明合作形式等课题。 根据建议的合资形式,南亚矿业将是主要股东,而霹雳州发展机构将掌控南亚矿业的1亿3530万个股,大约占了股份资本的 4.73%。

环保分子已经针对彭亨州格宾的莱纳稀土厂所辐射性废料的产生及储存问题提出疑问,他们都担心日本亚洲稀土厂事件重演,当时共发生8宗血癌病案,七人死亡。最近联邦政府也宣布,重新用一个月的时间检讨澳洲莱纳稀土提炼厂,这项计划引发公众对健康及安全的忧虑。

不只是霹雳州人民,很多国人也反对这项短视的计划。很明显地,国阵盲目地追求利益,甚至愿意把环境问题放一旁,让人民陷入健康及安全危机。霹雳州人民必须赶快让拿督斯里尼查领导的民联政府回朝,以阻止霹雳州稀土采矿的营运。

首先是彭亨,现在是霹雳,稀土厂在没有进行针对其高风险影响,适当及全面的公众咨询下, 一座又一座地冒出来。

唯有民联州属采取了坚定的、不妥协的立场,反对稀土提炼及采矿。民联州属如槟州甚至已经写信给联邦政府,表明我们反对任何在州内兴建核电厂设施的计划。

槟州政府已经在2011年3月21日致函能源、绿色工艺及水源部长拿督斯里陈华贵, 反对在大马兴建核电厂。槟州政府也表明我们禁止州内兴建有关设施。

有鉴于像日本这样先进的国家也发生核灾,国阵政府就不应该进行。当国阵所兴建的体育馆顶盖也会倒塌、国会大厦屋顶也会漏水,我们还能相信国阵会确保像核电厂这样危险及高风险的计划,能达到安全及健康水平吗?

拿督斯里陈华贵在2011年4月20日的回函中提到,由于槟州人口密度高,核电厂不可能建在槟州。无论如何,他表明了国阵政府立志在2020年在马来西亚其它地方建好核电厂。

只要民联还执政,槟州人民可以安心地睡觉, 孩子的健康也会受保障。不幸的是那些住在国阵州属的人民,2020年核电厂可能会在这些州属兴建起来。很显然地,国阵竟然拿人民的健康和安全当赌注。

唯有民联执政的州属如槟城不愿意承担这种风险。因此,霹雳州、彭亨州以及其它国阵州属的人民都应该要吸取这个重要的教训,那就是只有民联执政的州属才能保障人民的健康与安全,不兴建稀土提炼厂或矿场或核电设施。

மே தினக் கொண்டாட்டத்தோடு சம்பள உயர்வும் தேவை, சார்ல்ஸ் சந்தியாகோ

Posted: 27 Apr 2011 12:30 AM PDT

மூலம் :- மலேசியா இன்று 27 Apr

"மே தினம் கொண்டாடும் அனைவருக்கும் எனது மனமார்ந்த மே தின வாழ்த்துகள்" என வாழ்த்துகள் கூறினார் டிஎபி கிள்ளான் நாடாளுமன்ற உறுப்பினர் சார்ல்ஸ் சந்தியாகோ.
 
ஒவ்வொரு வருடமும் மலேசியர்கள் அனைவரும் மே 1 ஆம் தேதியயை தொழிலாளர் தினமாக கொண்டாடி வருகின்றனர். ஒவ்வொரு நாளும் அயராது உழைக்கும் தொழிலாளர்கள் அனைவருக்கும் மே 1 இல் பொது விடுமுறை அளிக்க வேண்டும். அப்படி விடுமுறை அளிக்காத முதலாளிகள் தொழிலாளர்களுக்கு மும்மடங்கு சம்பளம் தர வேண்டும் என தொழிலாளர் சட்டம் கூறுகிறது என்றாரவர்.
 
மேலும், தற்போது நிலவி வரும் சம்பளப் பிரச்சனையைத் தீர்க்காமல் இருப்பதுதான் மனதுக்கு வேதனையாக இருக்கிறது என சார்ல்ஸ் சந்தியாகோ வருத்தம் தெரிவித்தார்.

தொழிலாளர்களின் சம்பள உயர்வு மிக வேதனைக்குரிய நிலையில் உள்ளது எனக் கூறிய சார்ல்ஸ், கடந்த பத்தாண்டுகளில் தொழிலாளர்களின் சம்பளம் 2.6 விழுக்காடுதான் உயர்ந்துள்ளது. ஆனால் அதே காலகட்டத்தில் விலைவாசியோ 34 விழுக்காடு அதிகரித்துள்ளது என்பதை அவர் சுட்டிக் காட்டினார்.
 
தொழிலாளர்களின் அடிப்படை சம்பளத்தை அரசாங்கம் நிர்ணயம் செய்ய வேண்டும் என்று பல ஆண்டுகளாக கோரப்பட்டு வருகிறது. ஆனால் இன்னமும் அது உயர்த்தப்படாமல்தான் இருக்கிறது என்பதை அவர் மேலும் சுட்டிக் காட்டினார்.
 
தொழிலாளர்களின் அடிப்படை சம்பளம் வறுமைக் கோட்டிற்கு மேல் இருத்தல் வேண்டும். தற்போதைய விலைவாசிகளையும் வாழ்க்கை செலவுகளையும் சமாளிக்கும் வகையில் அவர்களுக்குச் சம்பளம் வழங்கப்படுவதை அரசாங்கம் உறுதி செய்ய வேண்டும். குறைந்தப‌ட்ச‌ ச‌ம்ப‌ளமாக‌ ரிம‌1500க்கும் மேல் இருத்த‌ல் வேண்டும் என‌வும் சார்ல்ஸ் கேட்டுக் கொண்டார்.
 
"இவ்வாறான‌ ச‌ம்ப‌ள‌த்தை அர‌சாங்க‌ம் நிர்ணயம் செய்தாலே போதும். தொழிலாள‌ர்க‌ளுக்கு ம‌ற்ற‌ற்ற‌ ம‌கிழ்ச்சி ஏற்ப‌டும். இப்ப‌டி அர‌சாங்க‌ம் அறிவிக்காதா என்றுதான் ஏழை ம‌க்க‌ளும் எதிர்ப்பார்க்கின்ற‌ன‌ர். இந்நாள் என்று வ‌ருகிற‌தோ அதுவே தொழிலாள‌ர் கொண்டாடும் உண்மையான‌ மே தினமாக இருக்கும்", என்றார் சார்ல்ஸ்.
 
அதும‌ட்டுமில்லாது உண‌வுப் பொருள்க‌ளின் விலை உய‌ர்வு ஏழை ம‌க்க‌ளை வெகுவாக‌ பாதிக்கின்றது. அதனாலும் தொழிலாள‌ர் இனத்தினர் அதிக‌ அளவில் பாதிக்க‌ப் ப‌டுகின்ற‌ன‌ர். ஏனெனில் அவ‌ர்க‌ள‌து வ‌ருமான‌ம் வ‌றுமைக் கோட்டிற்கும் கீழ் உள்ள‌து என‌ அவர் மேலும் விள‌க்கினார்.

ஆதலால், இந்த‌க் குறைந்த‌ப‌ட்ச‌ அடிப்ப‌டை ச‌ம்ப‌ளத்தை காலம் தாழ்த்தாமல் மிக‌ விரைவில்  நிர்ணையித்து மக்களின் சுமையைக் குறைக்க அரசாங்கம்  தீவிரமாக ஆலோசிக்க வேண்டும் என்று சார்ல்ஸ் சந்தியாகோ வலியுறுத்தினார்.

EC Showing Biased Colours

Posted: 27 Apr 2011 02:45 AM PDT

EC is demonstrating utter contempt for free and fair elections by parroting lies by Barisan Nasional leaders to denigrate the DAP, without an iota of evidence.

In the Utusan Malaysia column by Zulkifli Jalil "Kekang sentiment cauvinis" today, he quoted Deputy Commissioner of Election Commission (EC), Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar as having accused DAP of running a racist campaign in the recently concluded Sarawak elections.

"TIDAK salah saya katakan terdapat kempen-kempen berunsur perkauman di seluruh bandar besar di Sarawak khususnya yang dimainkan oleh DAP."

He had argued that most of DAP's banners in Chinese contained racial elements which were incendiary in nature, during his inspection round on the 14 April and were in breach of the Section 4 of the Election Offences Act. However, because there were "too many" of such posters and banners, the SPR and police were unable to take any action.

He even quoted the Minister of Information, Communication and Culture, Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim who accused that DAP Pending candidate, Violet Yong had argued that "we have had enough of a Melanau being the Chief Minister" ("dah cukup masa orang Melanau jadi CM") in a "closed door ceramah".

The EC Deputy Commissioner even argued that there were too many "closed door ceramahs" conducted during the election!

The above accusations unfortunately are all desperate lies by the Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar who has not only failed to ensure free and fair elections in Sarawak but are now trying to justify to its political masters why EC failed to curb the people's will to vote for Pakatan Rakyat in the urban centres.

I challenge the EC to come up with prove that the DAP has put up banners which were racial in nature which incites racial hatred and anger. Throughout the entire campaign, we have ensure that practically all our campaign materials contains at least 2 languages, whether in Bahasa Malaysia, English, Chinese or Iban. Our campaign theme has been thoroughly focused on fighting corruption, cronyism and abuse of power and never on a particular race.

Even if the EC is indeed shorthanded to the extent that they were unable to "take down" all the so-called "racist" banners by DAP, I am certain that its officials have ready cameras to keep proof and maintain records of such serious transgressions. Datuk Wan Ahmad should show such evidence instead of spreading malicious lies.

In fact, if there was any party which was inciting racial sentiments during the election, it was from Barisan Nasional, and SUPP in particular. Nearly all SUPP banners were only in the Chinese language, and they threatened the Chinese community that if the latter failed to support SUPP, the Government will ignore their needs in the future. Why didn't EC reprimand or take action against the SUPP?

In addition, the DAP has never held any "closed door" ceramahs in Sarawak. All our events whether in public places or function rooms, were always open to public, including to the media and special branch officers, who had diligently video-recorded every word uttered by our leaders. Both Datuk Wan Ahmad and Datuk Seri Rais Yatim should publicly apologise for making the baseless accusation that our candidate Violet Yong has uttered "dah cukup masa orang Melanau jadi CM", failing which our legal bureau will contemplate further actions against them.

Barisan Nasional, having lost the confidence of the public, particularly in the urban centres are now using government agencies such as the Election Commission to incite racial hatred against the DAP in order to protect their own selfish political interest. Datuk Wan Ahmad should resign for not only failing to ensure a level playing field for elections in Sarawak, but also now becoming the cat's paw for BN to defame and denigrate Pakatan Rakyat component parties.
