大道还是大盗?

From 光华言论:

2007-3-28 11:58:59

作者:石君

公共工程部在国会公布我国19条收费大道的建造,维修和已收取费用的详细资料,国人一目了然就能清楚判定,这些大道都是会下金蛋的鹅,个个都替有关经营者赚大钱。

以南北大道为例,其建造费是59.4亿令吉,而所收取的过路费则超过159亿令吉,所赚的“毛利”有100亿令吉,再加上政府未公布的“赔偿金”,南北大道其实没有任何理由不断要求政府按照合约内容调高过路费,加重人民的负担。况且南北大道的特许合约期限是漫长的50年,有关公司怎能贪得无厌的企图赚取更巨额的天文数字利润?有关公司难道不须负起社会责任,只会唯利是图?

而更令全国人民莫明与悲叹的是,为什么国阵政府竟然“笨”(前首相敦马哈迪所说)到没有详细了解有关合约内容就贸贸然签字,而且不是一张,是19张?看来政府将来也似乎准备继续“笨”下去,仍然照旧代表人民签下这些不公平的特许经营合约,把人民的福祉与权益置于脑后。

数据明显的证实这些大道特许经营公司每一间都赚钱,同时拥有美好的“包赚钱”前景,极小部份的特殊份子成了大赢家,广大人民则是大输家,而且祸延下一代,替我们的子孙制造一条又一条合法抢钱的大“盗”,比如说到了2030年,从南到北到走一回南北大道究竟得费多少钱?人民是否应立刻促请国阵政府采取“补救”行动,以便阻止这种不公平的特许经营合约为我们的后代带来沉重及痛苦的负担?

前首相敦马哈迪领导的国阵政府因“笨”而犯下错误,令人民面对现在的苦果。现任首相拿督斯里阿都拉是否应任由这种错误延续下去?所谓解铃还须系铃人啊,现任国阵政府难道不须重视人民的埋怨与不满,一味袖手旁观,以“尊重合约内容”为挡箭牌,放任“大道”公司成为“大盗”公司,50年不变的从人民口袋中合法抢钱?

人民应痛定思痛,检讨自己在特许经营大道合约这部剧情“一面倒”的“惨剧”里究竟犯了什么错,而造成目前这种令人民怨恨与不满的情况?人民手中神圣的一票是否有能力扭转不利人民的局势?诸君实在应深思呀!

槟州反收费站联盟

Ah ha, this is what we waiting for......

反对双溪育收费站的民间团体重申,他们坚决反对到底,要求拆除收费站,而非只是接延后收费的安排而已。

And this is my concern too if the successfully build PORR in Penang Island.

首先,整个槟州正处于面对收费站林立的关键历史十字街头。如果这个来自民间的斗争失败,似乎会释放一种讯息,即意味着槟城人接受像巴生谷人那样的使用道路需要付费的安排。牵一发动全身,收费站将如野草般丛生,而且永远烧不尽。

其次,站在目前巴生人也开始反对收费站的时刻,这一次地方上的反收费站运动,涉及的不只是槟城人的利害关系,其实可以向中央政策制定者发出更大、更强烈的声音,即影响人们日常生活开销的收费站是不合理的,这个政策需要全面检讨。

And this is my last option, anyway, i got only one option for the past elections.....

如果这种反对无法奏效,收费站或将全面进攻槟城,那时,看来应该好好在来届大选时善用手中神圣的一票,以便很清楚地告诉这类政策制定集团,人民的利益应该优先,而非个别私人财团的利益。这种把几个人的快乐建立在更多人的痛苦上的政策,不符合时代的需要。现代的政治,原本就是要追求更多人的更多的幸福。收费站抹煞了这种信仰。

槟民政5年后收档?

槟民政5年后收档? I am not the one who said that, it was Kayves.

人民进步党主席拿督卡维斯表示,民政党已时日无多,他并预言领导槟州政府的民政党,将在该党主席拿督斯里林敬益医生于4月8日正式退位后的5年内关门大吉。

卡维斯说:“1969年,当林敬益遭马华开除后,他前来会见当时的人民进步党主席拿督西尼华沙甘,申请加盟该党,但却遭到拒绝。于是他索回申请表格,自此以后不再回头。”


Another news,
许子根形容国内反对党的关系犹如 “三节棍”,舞棍者若不高明,无法驾驭三节棍,随时都会打伤自己。

操舞十四节棍的巫统是不会不小心打伤他自己的,会被打伤的是巫统以外的政党,或是,除了巫统之外,其他的十三节棍会彼此叫嚣、打斗,彼此伤害对方。因此,我们看到民政和马华的明争暗斗,看到人民进步党只差没有和民政党打擂台,看到巫统的唯我独尊。


Speechless ......

KJ Rock!!!

Look at our coursemate KJ how he fought back on blogging issue raised by Tengku Adnan. Tengku Adnan claimed that 80% of the blogger are jobless woman!!!!

He even claimed that: "Bloggers like to spread rumours, they don’t like national unity. Today our country has achievements because we are tolerant and compromising. Otherwise we will have civil war. "

"部落客都是騙子,以種種方法欺騙別人。根據我的瞭解,一萬名沒有工作的部落客當中,有8000名是女人。”

What say you Ally as lady blogger??

By the way, this KJ is not that KJ staying in Putrajaya one...

We are the Champion!

Bravo to Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong. It is another 25 years for us to claim champion again after Thomas Cup in 1992. It was a great game!!!

Umno Youth slams Fong over neglect of Bumi grads

01 Mar 2007

SHAH ALAM: Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri Dr Fong Chan Onn was lambasted yesterday for neglecting unemployed Bumiputera graduates.

Umno Youth Public Complaints Bureau chairman Datuk Subahan Kamal said many graduates had resorted to driving taxis as they could not find employment in the private sector.

He said the ministry had to assume responsibility for their plight.

"We have highlighted the matter to the ministry before but officials have chosen to sweep the problem under the carpet," he told reporters after highlighting allegations of discrimination against Bumiputera employees by Giant Hypermarket in Shah Alam.

He said the ministry should enforce a 30 per cent quota for Bumiputeras at all levels in the private sector and ensure that locals were given preference over foreigners.

Workers at the hypermarket complained that foreigners were being favoured over locals and that locals received lower wages.

They had also claimed that there were few opportunities for career advancement in the company.

The letter, sent to the Prime Minister’s Department, also alleged there were no Bumiputeras in top management positions in the company.

Giant Retail (M) Sdn Bhd chief operating officer Datuk John Coyle, who had earlier met Subahan over the matter, told reporters that 80 per cent of staff in the company were Bumiputeras.

He said there were 123 Bumiputeras in lower and middle management with three in top management positions.

Coyle said the company had to resort to foreigners for menial jobs.

However, the company was committed to increasing the number of Bumiputeras at managerial level.

Coyle added that 80 per cent of Giant’s customers were Bumiputeras and there was no discrimination against them.

"We have always preferred Bumiputeras over foreigners."

Subahan said his meeting with Coyle was fruitful and that some of the complaints raised by staff were unfounded.

Another Case - National Service

So many trainees pass away during they training for National Service programme. What the hell is happening out there? Seem like everything is not going right!!! Then how the heck the parent dare to let their children go for the training? This is human live, please take care of it!!!

The latest case happened at the Kisana Beach Resort camp in Pasir Puteh, Kelantan, died early yesterday morning barely an hour after she was found unconscious in a public toilet.

Quote:
Prema Elenchelian, 18, from Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, was participating in the NS wirajaya programme at a public picnic area in Jeram Linang some 25km away from camp when she went to the toilet at 2.30am, said NS Training Department director-general Abdul Hadi Awang Kechil.

Prema is the eighth trainee to have died since the inception of the programme in 2004.

In TheSun:
Prema was the 10th NS trainee to have died during while undergoing the NS training programme. Of the other nine, one death resulted from a fight and the rest from health problems.

Why the figure quoted by these 2 newspaper different? And according to my understanding, the number is higher if including the trainers who pass away!!!!

1 Year Anniversary

One year now since our BN government announced fuel hike of 30 cent per litre and the country will save RM 4.4b and the saving keep on accumulating. As promised, the money saved will be used to upgrading public transport system.

From The Star dated 2 March 2006:
“The fund will be used to develop new public transport facilities and to improve the existing systems,” he said, adding that current systems needed to have greater connectivity and to be better integrated.

Besides the coming-soon Rapid Penang and upgrading of Rapid KL, i don't really see any improvement of public transport system. LRT & KTM Komuter getting more congested as government asking Rakyat to change LifeStyle, but the LRT always got problems.

Now the Question: Where is the money???
