It's It Too Late?

The government claimed that this move will help the government to save RM2 bil and it will be channel to subsidies for low-income groups as Pak Lah claimed that the government is sensitive toward the hardship of this group of people after the fuel price hike.
It is funny that only now the government realize that there are alot of area that the government can cut cost and save on the money.
Cost-cutting to save RM2bil
PUTRAJAYA: The entertainment allowances of ministers and deputy ministers will be slashed and their paid holidays will now be limited to local and Asean destinations.
These as well as several other steps, including a freeze on new government posts and assets purchase, would save the Government RM2bil.
The slashing of allowances and limitation on paid holidays take effect on July 1. Even the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister will not be spared this new ruling.
The Prime Minister currently enjoys a monthly entertainment allowance of RM18,865 while his deputy gets RM15,015. Other ministers and deputy ministers are given RM12,320 and RM6,000 respectively.
For the paid holidays, Cabinet members will not be allowed to claim for more than a week’s holiday.
Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said these measures “will not be the first or the last; many other announcements will be made by the Government”.
“The savings will be channelled to subsidies for low-income groups,” he said after chairing the first National Inflation Council meeting at his office here yesterday.
“We are sensitive to the hardship faced by the people as a result of the recent increase in fuel prices.
Everybody will have to be thrifty in these difficult times, including the Government.”
Besides the freeze on new government posts and the purchase of assets like cars, furniture and computers, other measures to be taken are limiting the number of workshops, seminars and conferences held at hotels and postponing all renovation works for government offices.
The Government will also cut down on the number of functions like the opening of offices, prize-presentations as well as disallow attire specifically made for an event.
“There is no point for a special outfit because it’s wasteful.
“In line with this, a 10% cut will be imposed on expenses within departments.
Much of the cut will involve promotional and campaign activities.”
The measures became effective yesterday in a circular issued by the Treasury to all agencies and departments.
The freeze on new posts, however, does not cover critical sectors like education, health and enforcement, and those dealing with the delivery of public services and capable of increasing the country’s revenue.
Restructuring of agencies and departments will also be put on hold, except if this is to reduce the number of workers or which does not involve the creation of new posts.
Official overseas trips will be limited to important international or inter-governmental meetings, with not more than three officers sent, and even then only those directly involved.
My 2 cents worth: In view of the recent fuel price hike, our government has announced that they will cut down spending from elsewhere, example their Minister and Deputy Minister monthly entertainment allowance, the free traveling for Minister and Deputy Minister, purchase of others assets, and blah blah blah ...The government claimed that this move will help the government to save RM2 bil and it will be channel to subsidies for low-income groups as Pak Lah claimed that the government is sensitive toward the hardship of this group of people after the fuel price hike.
It is funny that only now the government realize that there are alot of area that the government can cut cost and save on the money.

(吉隆坡5日訊）油價及電費猛漲掀起骨牌效應，交通領域業者紛紛高喊調高車資，與此同時，馬股今日開市后也全線暴跌，盤中跌幅超過3%或38.75點！
受影響的各行各業對昨天的燃油價格漲幅大表震驚，一些長途巴士公司更在即日起調整車資達40%。
一些州屬的羅厘公會也宣佈，即日所有的運輸費會調高35至60%不等，學巴公會也允許會員增收10至50令吉的車資。
綜指全線暴跌
這股漲風掀起的千重浪也延伸至馬股，導致今日投資意願大受打擊，導致綜指今日全線暴跌。
市場擔憂，汽油及電費調高后將拖累消費意願，影響國內經濟成長，繼而大量拋售持有股項，導致綜指跌跌不休，狂瀉近40點。
在特定藍籌股領跌下，綜指今早急挫19.08點，以1234.04點報開，爾后跌勢凶猛，大演滑鐵盧。
其中，種植股吉隆坡甲洞（KLK）和峇都加灣（BKAWAN）淪為馬股下跌股榜成員。
在中午12時14分時，綜指狂挫38.75點，報1214.37點；並在休市時以1215.31點掛休，跌37.81點，半日成交量達3億1733萬股。閉市時，綜指報1223.56點，重挫29.56點，成交量6.3億股。
My 2 cents worth: With the announcement of the fuel price hike, have a look at what are the things that is going up.
1) Electric tarrif - 18% increase
2)Transportation cost - 35% to 60% increase
3) Travel busses prices - 40% increase
4) School bus fees - RM10 to Rm50 increase in monthly fee
5) Inflation - 5% increase
The best part is, there are more to come in this few days.

TNB: Power rates to be linked to fuel prices
Source: http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/83982
National power supplier Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) said electricity tariffs will be linked to fuel prices and it will be reviewed whenever the government does the same for gas prices.
My 2 cents worth: See what I mean by fuel price is the root of all commodities prices. TNB is the first to announce their price increase right immediately after the government announced the hike in fuel price. This will be follow by many. Let's open our eyes wide wide and see.

KUALA LUMPUR: Petrol stations nationwide never had it so good.
Source: http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Thursday/Frontpage/20080605080949/Article/index_html
There was a mad rush at almost all kiosks as motorists tried to beat the midnight deadline when the new petrol and diesel prices came into effect.
No untoward incidents were reported but voices were raised at several petrol stations in the Klang Valley which suffered temporary power outage due to the heavy thunderstorm yesterday evening.
There were complaints that several petrol station operators had closed for the day after the new prices were announced.
Retired teacher Kaniappan Kaniah was one of the irate motorists who complained that a “rosak” sign was placed on all 10 pumps at a petrol station in Shah Alam last night.
Kaniappan, 62, was on the way to teach a self-defence class in the city and had to fill petrol as his tank was nearly empty.
The retiree from Shah Alam claimed that the petrol station had, during the previous petrol price revision, put the “rosak” sign a few hours before the new petrol price took effect.
“I am quite sure that after midnight, the ‘rosak’ sign will be gone,” he said yesterday.
He left this particular petrol station and went to other kiosks nearby only to find them packed with vehicles.
Fed up, Kaniappan went back home and phoned his student to pick him up.
In Johor Baru, it was no different from anywhere else in Malaysia as motorists made a beeline for petrol stations to fill up yesterday before the fuel price increase.
But if people thought the vehicles would include Singapore-registered ones, they were proven wrong.
Checks showed most of the cars at petrol stations bore Malaysian registration plates.
The rush was such that some petrol station owners went to the extent of rationing the amount of petrol for each vehicle to ensure that everybody got their fair share.
Mohd Khairul Mohd Duan, who operates a Petronas station in Bandar Baru Uda, said Singaporeans would not be too affected by the hike.
“Singaporeans won’t mind paying the higher price. I’ve spoken to them and they tell me that even if fuel prices reach market level, they don’t mind paying because it’s still cheap for them.
“But how are Malaysians going to survive?”
Khairul said station operators like him “gain nothing” from the price increase.
“The result of this is that I now have to spend more than before to buy fuel, which I do at least 25 times a month.”
My 2 cents worth: Firstly, by announcing the fuel hike was bad enough, but announcing it at the late afternoon and with effect on 12am that night was an idiot thing for our government to do.
The announcement by the government in late evening has lead to a massive mad rush to all petrol station in the country during off office rush hour. In Kuala Lumpur, with the late evening heavy rain, flash flood appear everywhere and all cars rushing to petrol station and this has cause massive jams in town.
This is, again, a bad move by our government which lead to unnecessary jams and mad rush of all motorist to petrol station. I dont understand why cant the government either announce it earlier or to give few days notice for all the people so that they do not have to rush to petrol station to fill up the tank to beat the 12am time line?
Government commented that our fuel price is the lowest in the region and with the price of the fuel in the world market going up, the government is unable to pay the increasing subsidy of fuel for our people. With the removal of fuel subsidy, the government can now use the saving for other subsidies as follow:
Where the RM13.7b savings will go
- RM7.5 billion goes back as subsidies for petrol, diesel and gas
- RM4 billion for food security
- RM1.5 billion for cooking oil subsidies
- RM400 million for standardising price of rice in Sabah and Sarawak
- RM200 million for flour subsidy
- RM100 million for bread subsidy
The government even dare to ask the people to understand their decision and do not take the anger to the street. The government, too, advice the people to change their lifestyle to reduce on their expenses and wastage.
I am just wondering who is the genius person who advice the government that this is a good move. Didnt they study economics? Didnt they realise that the fuel price is the root of the increasing of other commodities?
When fuel price up, transportation fee goes up. When transportation fee goes up, it will lead to other products, such as food to goes up as well. If our government is saying by removing the fuel subsidy away and they can now use the money to subsidies for food, what's the logic behind it? You save money on removing fuel subsidy, feul goes up and lead to food price up, you use the money you save to subsidies food, wont that be LPPL (Lan Pah Pak Lan)?
To change our lifestyle by reducing unnecessary expenses and wastage? How else can we change Mr Pak Lah? An average wage earner has a fix amount of money to use a month, after minusing the necessary expenses likes the house installment, car installment, bills and etc., whatever left may be use for some little entertainment, for example, going to movie, having a cup of coffee with friends and so on. This will help us to relax in this madness environment.
So now with this fuel hike, monthly expenses will now go up, what other way can we cut down. I would love Mr. Pak Lah to tell us. Is the government asking us to cut down on our personal entertainments and cutting down our family days by bringing our kids for fast food on weekend?
I read somewhere this morning about some comments on the fuel hike and I agreed with this person. He commented that people in other countries, such as Singapore and Thailand can survive with high fuel price because their government provide them with good public transportation. For example, Singapore's MRT is so well connected that one do not need to drive on his or her day-to-day activities.
Look at our country, LRT is only limited to those who stay near the routes, Wangsa Maju and Ampang for LRT, Kelana Jaya and Wangsa Maju for Putra. Town center by the Monorial.
Then what about those people stay in Subang, Damansara, Shah Alam, Kajang, Puchong and so on. These people have no choice but to drive to work. So these people will be the most affected by the fuel hike.
Lastly, I have great respect to the current central government, especially Pak Lah. Hold on, the reason I respect him is because after the March 8 Political Tsunami, the government already knows that the public is unhappy and yet he dare to announce the fuel hike just 3 months after the election. For that, he has my salute.

Fuel up again

Malaysian pump prices at market rates by August: minister
Malaysia will abandon fuel price controls by August and raise pump prices to market levels under a revamped subsidy system to be unveiled on Wednesday, a minister said.
The government always said that our fuel is the lowest in the region, for example when comparing to Singapore. Thus the people should not complaint. However, they fail to note that Singaporeans are earning far more than us in Malaysia. For example, a sales executive in Singapore earn more than a sales executive in Malaysia, thus, when face with higher living expenses, to them is not a problem. Therefore, how can you compare a apple to orange?
No matter what we all say, the fuel price is definitely going up.
Malaysian pump prices at market rates by August: minister
Malaysia will abandon fuel price controls by August and raise pump prices to market levels under a revamped subsidy system to be unveiled on Wednesday, a minister said.
"The prime minister will announce on Wednesday an indication of where we are going in terms of a fuel subsidy system," Domestic Trade Minister Shahrir Samad told AFP.
"We have worked out the details of the subsidy plan and after the inflation committee meets today (Tuesday), it will have to be approved by cabinet," he said.
Malaysia is moving to cut the spiralling bill for its extensive petrol, diesel and gas subsidies, which is expected to cost 56 billion ringgit (17.4 billion dollars) this year.
Currently petrol sells for about 1.92 ringgit (60 cents) a litre, among the cheapest in the region.
Shahrir said the details and implementation method of the new subsidy scheme would be thrashed out by August, when the full plan is scheduled to be in place.
"What we are targeting for when the full plans are announced is that the price at the pumps throughout the country will be at market prices, so until the full plan is delivered, we will not be able to do this," he said.
Shahrir said the new subsidies would be a needs-based system, rather than the current arrangement which lowers the cost of petrol for all users no matter what their income.
He told state news agency Bernama that the government was considering mechanisms including offering cash payments or setting quotas.
The government is initially targeting Singaporeans and Thais who make day-trips across the border to fill their tanks with fuel that is substantially cheaper here.
On Monday, it shut off petrol sales to Thais on its northern border and will also ban sales of petrol to visiting Singaporeans in the southern state of Johor from June 9 as an interim measure ahead of the new subsidy mechanism.
The government is braced for a public backlash over any further fuel price hikes, in a country where public transport is poor and many people are dependent on their cars.
The ruling coalition suffered its worst ever results in March 8 elections, losing five states and a third of parliamentary seats in a setback partly credited to anger over high prices of food and fuel.
My 2 cents worth: Sigh!!! petrol price raise again? Price for everything also will follow, up and up. Who will suffer? The people. We pay tax to the government and they use the money to subsidies for the petrol, which mean we indirectly already paying for the petrol money. Now that they are announcing that the petrol price will follow the market rate, which means the people will have to pay more.
The government always said that our fuel is the lowest in the region, for example when comparing to Singapore. Thus the people should not complaint. However, they fail to note that Singaporeans are earning far more than us in Malaysia. For example, a sales executive in Singapore earn more than a sales executive in Malaysia, thus, when face with higher living expenses, to them is not a problem. Therefore, how can you compare a apple to orange?
No matter what we all say, the fuel price is definitely going up.

郭素沁：克連沙嘉出示信函 - 大道局暗示可設路障
（巴生2日訊）雪州高級行政議員郭素沁揭露，承建蕉賴加影大道的克連沙嘉公司，向雪州政府出示一封大馬大道局的信函，並指信函內容暗示該公司可在皇冠城大道設路障。
她指出，在最近州行政議會中，當局邀請克連沙嘉大道公司代表出席開會，以瞭解皇冠城封路的詳情。
雪政府堅持開路
她昨晚出席巴生健身社6週年紀念暨籌募四川賑災基金晚宴上，如是指出。出席者包括雪州行政議員歐陽捍華及劉天球等。
“雪州大臣丹斯里卡立在會上不斷詢問大道公司代表，是誰批准大道公司設路墩，對方才取出大道局的信函，並表示信中暗示大道公司可設路墩。”
她說，民聯政府每週州行政議會上都有討論皇冠城封路事件，她嘲諷前州政府，在兩年時間都無法處理的問題，但民聯政府在執政不足100天就已解決。
“大臣以雪州柏朗桑集團在大道公司中有20%的股份，要求召開股東大會，要股東決定是否開路，而雪州政府強硬的態度，使中央政府的態度放軟，贊成開路。”

（吉隆坡2日訊）克連沙嘉執行董事再那阿比丁否認，曾向雪州政府出示大馬大道局信函，暗示該公司可在蕉賴皇冠城主要大道設路障。
《中國報》針對雪州高級行政議員郭素沁于昨晚的揭露，電訪再那阿比丁。
再那阿比丁堅稱自己對以上事件毫不知情，也不了解有關信函的詳情。
他也聲稱自己對大馬大道局是否曾發出信函，表示不知情。
另外，大馬大道局職員說負責人不在，本報無法求證。
記者聯絡大馬大道局中馬區分局，惟職員指負責人兼主任不在，隨后轉聯絡給該分局主任蘇萊雅，惟對方指此事交由總部監督及協調組主任蘇海米負責。
但當記者多次撥電欲聯絡蘇海米時，其下屬均指他在開會，不方便回電。
本報惟有轉聯絡大馬大道局總監拿督莫哈末拉查利，聯絡多次，其秘書都指對方在開會。
后來本報再度聯絡他秘書時，對方指他已外出並將到外國2星期，無法回應記者的提問。
她也指出，公司另一名副總監今日恰好休假，要求記者明日再撥電詢問。
My 2 cents worth: I am lazy to do the full translation but the content of both article are something like this:
First article - Teressa Kok said that in the Selangor Exco meeting, they invited a representative from Grand Saga to attend. The Selangor Mentari Besar, Tan Sri Khalid asked the representative from Grand Saga who had approved the barricade to be placed up. the representative mentioned that there's a letter from Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia (LLM) hinting that Grand Saga is allowed to re-build the barricade.
Teressa Kok then went on to tease the previous Selangor Government was unable to resolve this issue after two years but the PR Lead Selangor government just solved it withing 100 days of administration.
Second article - Grand Saga Executive Director, Zainal Abidin did not admit that they have presented the PR Lead Selangor government a letter from LLM, hinting Grand Saga is allowed to re-build the barricade.
Chinapress also tried to contact various officer at LLM to comment on this but were unable to reach any of them, either they are in meeting or they went oversea or they are on leave.

My Translation: MCA national youth secretary Wee Ka Siong request the Ministry of Home Affair to further investigate the BMC issue, to put justice to those who take law into their own hand, whether it's the thugs, residents or the police, to prevent the people further upset.
He said, there are alot of witnesses on the BMC issue, therefore it should be solve according to the proper matter, should not only listen to one sided story. The only way to do this is to have Ministry of Home Affair to interfear, and the head of police to take action.
He further claimed that if proven that member of police was involved in beating the residents, they should receive proper punishment, let the people see this to reduce the upset among the people.
He further said that since the cabinet has announced that the access road to be remained open untill the court comes out with a decision, this is a good news to everyone. However, behind the happiness, there are 4 people that might be sue for attempt murder. He feel that this cant be accepted by those residents who were present at that night of the incidents and it does not make sense to them.
Wee Ka Siong said that he has officially contacted the Deputy Home Affair Minister, Datuk Chor. MCA National Youth feel regret on the beating of residents and feel that those who involved should get receive proper justice. He further said that while pending the court case among the highway concession and the developer, the government should look into the whole matter.
He stated that no matter what, the people should not bear the consiquences .
He said that, before this, the residents have to go a longer route, which will incur additional usage of petrol, and therefore indirectly incur additional subsidy from the government.
On the other hand, Wee Ka Siong felt very supprise to heard certain police officer claimed that " dont expect the police to jump down from the flyover" He said, police is always in the front line, and they are professional, if there's any incident, not only have have to jump down from flyover, if needed, they have to even climb the mountain of knife.
（馬六甲31日訊）馬青總秘書魏家祥要求內政部徹查皇冠城封路事件，以將那些把法律操縱在自己手中的人士，不管是暴徒、居民或是執法者繩之于法，不能讓民怨繼續沸騰。
他說，皇冠城事件的發生有很多目擊證人，整件事應該依法處理，不能聽取片面之詞，所以唯一的方法就是內政部介入徹查，及全國總警長採取有效行動對付。
“如果證實警務人員涉及毆打，那是罪加一等，應當被繩之于法，讓大家看到立竿見影的效果，平息民怨。 ”
挽回公信力
魏家祥今早在馬六甲革成華小禮堂，為《中國報》聯合馬六甲年少情主辦，豐隆保險贊助的“第7屆撒種─全甲小學生寫作康樂營”主持開幕后，于記者會上如是指出。
他說，內閣已對皇冠城事件做出決定，不再封路至法庭裁判為止，目前皆大歡喜，但在歡喜的背后，那幾名被毆的年輕人還要被控，他認為這對在場的民眾是不能接受的，也令人費解。
他說，警方要挽回公信力，就一定要徹查。
他也正式聯絡內政部副部長拿督曹智雄作出反映，馬青譴責傷人者，並認為傷人者應被繩之于法。
他認為，在等待法庭判決時，政府應從法、理、情的觀點著手處理上述事件，以務實角度做估算，包括大道公司本身的法律根據、當年批准大道公司合約情況如何、發展商申請道路有哪些承諾、不收大道收費，是否由政府承擔等等。
他說，無論如何，今天不該是居民來承擔。
他指出，目前居民每天繞道走，增加用油量，這無形中也加重政府的負擔。
此外，魏家祥對有些警官說“難道要從天橋跳下來”的言論感到震驚。他說，警方是站在最前線，也是專業的，如果有騷亂，不要說是從天橋跳下來，即使是刀山，也都要爬上去。
My 2 cents worth: See what I mean by "it's time to get famous", after so many hu ha, water cannon, tear gas, beating by thugs, now only the people from our famous chinese community representative stand out to make comment on everything. Before this, none of them even make a whisper about this matter.

Sipadan Island
Photo source:www.touchdownluxuryyachts.com/SIPADAN ... HERE I COME IN 24 DAYS AND COUNTING!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!
Where are you thugs?
My 2 cents worth: Since 27 May 2008 after the incidents where the thugs went crazy beating the residents of BMC at the barricade area, I have been reading the newspaper daily to see any arrest of those thugs who were involved in the beating.However, to my surprise non of the newspaper mention anything on any arrest. there are so many pictures captured on that day by the press photographer, by independent bloggers, by residents and even captured on video, identifying those who were involved but till date, no arrest was made.
If my memory did not fail me, I remember reading that the police mentioned that they are investigating this matter and will definitely arrest those who are involved. But after 6 days, still no news of anyone getting arrest.
It is either our police is incapable of doing their job or they dare not make any arrest, worrying that the thugs will disclose who are their boss who paid them money for the attack.
Police or Gangster
Are the the police that suppose to protect the people, maintain law and order or are they gangster? you judge it yourself.
Mr. Sam talking rubbish
After watching this, how i am glad Mr. Sam is no longer in the cabinet. Listen to what c*ck he has to say on the BMC access road issue when previously he was still the minister.
Najib - Gov did not bow to pressure on BMC Access Road
Source: http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Sunday/National/2255522/Article/index_html
PETALING JAYA: The Barisan Nasional government supports the move to open the access road connecting Bandar Mahkota Cheras to the Cheras-Kajang Highway for the benefit of the people.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said the decision was not to bow to pressure or to please the Pakatan Rakyat-led state government in Selangor.
"We want what's good for the people," he said at a parade held in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of the Royal Malaysian Air Force in Subang yesterday.
However, he said, the government will not back the people if they break the law.
On Friday, the cabinet had decided to allow the access road to be opened, pending a court decision.
Controversy arose when the highway toll concession holder, Grand Saga Sdn Bhd, sealed off the access road.
Grand Saga had built a wall in January 2006 to prevent toll-free traffic from Bandar Mahkota Cheras accessing the Bandar Tun Hussein Onn junction that connects the Cheras-Kajang Highway.
This resulted in a spate of confrontations between the residents and a group believed to be employed by Grand Saga to prevent the removal of the wall. ........
My 2 cents worth: our Deputy Prime Minister once again stress that the announcement of the BMC access road was not due to pressure from the PR government but the BN government did it for the good of the people. Hurray .... the BN wants what's good for the peole ... what a BULL. I am so sick of listening all this idiot, no brainier comments from these so-called leader of Malaysia. Again, they always thought we are 5th grade student, blindly believe what they say.

Leopard behind the Horse
Again, found this article on Chinapress dated 31 May, 2008. It says that Datuk Liow welcome the interference from the Work ministry to resolve the BMC access road issue.Datuk Liow also said that the BMC access road should remain open untill the court comes out with any decision for the case between BMC developer, Narajaya and the highway concession, Grand Saga.
He further stated that since the central government has interfere by requesting Grand Saga to allow the BMC access road to be remain open untill the court comes out with a decision, Grand Saga has also agreed to the request.
Datuk Liow said "Grand Saga has written a letter saying they have agreed to the request"Datuk Liow claim that no matter what problem between the developer and the highway concession, it should not affect the people.
Datuk Liow said " the most important this is, people safety is be priority. The barricading of the access road which leads to the bloody incidents should not repeat itself in the future. No body should take law into their own hand."
He further said that no matter what is the outcome, it should not affect the people rights. People's rights should be protected.
My 2 cents worth: Now is the time to get famous. More and more BN leader step forward to make comments on the BMC issue. This time, it's the MCA National Youth chairman, Datuk Liow Tiong Lai turn.
Anyone who play chinese chess should know this phase "Leopard behind hourse" direct translated of "Ma Hou Pao". I am curious why only now Datuk Liow come forward to say something like this? Why this type of comment was not voice out at the very beginning? Isn't it's too late now that BN people come forward to say things like this?
Datuk Liow also mentioned that "Whatever the outcome, it should not affect the people rights. People's rights should be protected" May i just ask how can the people rights be protected when the central government keep it's silence and allow Grand Saga does what it did to bully the residence of BMC?
Instead Grand Saga get's the help of police and FRU to disperse the residents so that they can rebuild the barricade. Grand Saga gets the help of thugs to protect it's 3rd barricade but police did not appear to protect the residents when thugs went crazy beating the residents.
So how's the right of the people be protected?
Unbelievable and Genius Comment from Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing on BMC Issue
Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club chairman Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing is in the lime light again. This article was found on Chinepress dated 31 May 2008.According to the article, With the announcement of by the cabinet to remain open of the access road at BMC, Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing said that it shows that the BN government did not fold their sleeves and watch the issue at BMC.
He hope that all relevant parties can solve the problem in the shortest time frame.
He further said that all this while, the BN government is doing their part in helping to solve this problem. However, the BN government did not act like the opposition parties to make this issue into a big bang.
He also welcome the announcement by the cabinet to instruct the access road to be remain open untill the court comes out with a decision.
When he was asked whether the BN government make such decision was due to the pressuring from the PR government. Tiong King Sing replied that there's no such thing. The Work Ministry has been doing its part all this while to solve this issue and it is almost reaching a solution to it. Thus, it is not because of the pressure they announce to open the road.
But he said he is disappointed to those relevant parties for not solving the issue in time. According to him, those relevant parties should set a time frame to resolve this issue.
Tiong further stated that the previous Hulu Langat MB, Datuk Markiman Kobiran, had also debate this issue with the ex Work Minister, Datuk Seri Samy Vellu.
Tiong also stated that Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club also has been discussing with the Work Minister on this issue and try to resolve it in the shortest time frame. According to him, if the current Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Seri Khalid Ibrahim is so confident the PR can resolve this issue, then he will have not ask for 2 weeks of time. He should have solve it immediately.
Tiong said that the people should judge for themselves whether the PR is using this opportunity to gain more political advantage.
My 2 cents worth: This is not the first or second time Datuk Seri Tiong is making ingenious comments. I thought after all this issue and problem, he will keep his mouth shut but yet again he is making such unbelievable comment again.
If the BN government is really working behind the scene to help the residents of BMC to resolve this problem, then when the committee of BMC first request for help, how come all relevant parties refused to help at the first place.
If the BN government is really working behind the scene to stop all this issue, then it should have ordered the Grand Saga not to rebuild the barricade at the very beginning after the residents remove it in April and let the court to decide. Instead, Grand saga came with hundreds of FRU and Police and rebuild the barricade, blasting water cannon and tear gas.
If the BN government is really working behind the scene to stop all this issue, then after the high profile FRU blasting water cannon and tear gas, the BN government should have step forward and ask the Grand Saga not to rebuild the barricade for the 3rd time.
If the Work ministry is really reaching solution to this issue, how come when the residents went to the parliment to present their memorandum on 28 May but the Minister did not come out to meet and announce their solution to them?
Instead of all this, Since April till now, the is non of the BN leader came forward to voice out and ask Grand Saga to stop what they did. We heard one or two genius leader mentioned in the news paper about this issue, all of them saying the residents should not take matter into their own hand, saying the opposition party is trying to steer up the emotion of the residents but non of these people said they will take up the responsibility to help or to condemn the action by Grand Saga.
Even Datuk Seri Tiong also mentioned previously that since the court has announced the area is belong to the highway concession, Grand Saga, thus, there nothing wrong for Grand saga to block off the access road. So is that how the Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club trying to help by making such comment, as claimed by Datuk Seri Tiong himself.
Datuk Seri Tiong, you are right to ask the Rakyat to see for themselves, whether the opposition party is using this opportunity to gain political advantages. We will definately judge this ourselves.
Good leader
I found this blog from Dr. Chua Soi Lek ... I really think my England is not powderful ... cos after 5 times reading it, I still dont really understand what he is trying to say:
Source: http://drchua9.blogspot.com/2008/05/bandar-mahkota-cheras-turmoil-is.html
Bandar Mahkota Cheras Turmoil is finally solved?
Finally, the selangor PR government is putting its act together in behaving like a government in power, using its agency to solve the rakyat's problem. You can be with the rakyat in opposing the project but leaders are suppose to lead and not to be involved untill violance erupts. As in this case, situation can get out of hand.
Finally the state government realized that it has a stake in the whole project, flexes it muscle to government agency to solve the problem. After 2 weeks of high tension excitement, fear and frustration, finally it's putting the act together. to oppose is easy, but to govern and solve is an entirely different matter.
Posted by Datuk Seri Dr. Chua Soi Lek at 3:37:00om
My 2 cents worth: With all due respect, may I just ask what is the actually meaning of these 2 para? I really dont understand what is Datuk Seri Dr Chua is trying to say. For example, Quote" You can be with the rakyat in opposing the project but leaders are suppose to lead and not to be involve untill violance erupts." unquote. So is Datuk Seri Dr. Chua saying a good leader will not join the rakyat to oppose any project, they should concentrate their attention is leading, but leading what? Then only to get involve with violance erupt? so are you saying the leader should sit in their nice air-condition office and wait, wait for violance activities, such as beating by the thugs, beating by the FRU, then only they should stand up and say something?
No wonder all the MCA leader act like that. They are the so-called good leader among the chinese community. After the blasting of water cannon and tear gas and beating by thugs and FRU, then now the MCA youth committee member, Loh Chew June and MCA vice president Datuk Ong Tee Keat come forward to say something about it.
Congratulate to MCA, according to Datuk Seri Dr. Chua, you bunch people are good leader. But to the eyes of the Rakyat, you guys are just useless.

BMC Access Road - Open - Sweet Victory to the People!!!
The announcement from the Works Minister Mohd Zin Mohamed that the access road will be open. Also the speech from the hero, Tan Boon Wah on the announcement of the good news.
Cops Condemned for Excessive Force
Source: http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/83688
The Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) today did not mince its words in condemning the “excessive force” being used by the police against residents during the fracas at the Bandar Mahkota Cheras on Tuesday night.
The commission demanded the police to explain the alleged beating of a 21-year-old man during the incident where about 200 BMC residents were ordered to disperse by the police.
“In doing their duties, they have to be more human-rights friendly and the degree of brutality used did not justify it (their action),” said Suhakam commissioner S Subramaniam at a press conference.
Subramaniam said while the police have the authority to take action against the residents, it had to be in accordance with human rights.
Chang Jiun Haur (left), who was with his sister and two other men in a car, was allegedly dragged out of his Proton Wira and repeated kicked and beaten by 20 Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) personnel armed with shields and batons.
He was subsequently hospitalised in for injuries to his face and other parts of his body.FRU must show proofAccording to Subramaniam, it was “absurd” for a team of well-trained FRU men to “feel threatened” by four unarmed youths.

“If they (FRU) have proof that they were hit by the car (as claimed), then they have to provide the names of the officers who were injured,” he said.
Deputy Home Minister Chor Chee Heung told Parliament yesterday that according to a report given to him from the police, two police officers were hurt - one on the hand and another on the thigh - from falling down after being knocked by the said car.
Subramaniam added that the affected officers should also state which hospital they had gone to for treatment and the doctors who had attended to their injuries.
Meanwhile commissioner Denison Jayasooria, who was also at the Suhakam press conference, stressed that the police should be held responsible for their alleged beating of Chang.
Both the commissioners visited Chang at the Teluk Kemang hospital in Port Dickson, where he lives.
My 2 cents worth: This incident remind me of Rodney King, an African-American taxi driver who, in 1991, was stopped and then beaten by Los Angeles Police Department officers after being chased for speeding. A bystander, George Holiday, videotaped much of the event from a distance. Part of the video was broadcast around the world and shows four LA police officers restraining and repeatedly striking a black man, while four to six other officers stand by. There is no part of the tape that shows Mr. King attacking the officers, as some have claimed.
The resulting public outrage raised tensions between the black community and the LAPD, and increased anger over police brutality and issues such as unemployment, racial tension, and poverty in the black community of South Central Los Angeles. The four officers were tried in a state court for using excessive force, but were acquitted. The announcement of the acquittals sparked the 1992 Los Angeles Riots.
After the riots, the United States Justice Department reinstated its investigation and subsequently obtained an indictment of federal civil rights violations against the four officers involved in King's beating. The federal trial, as compared to the state trial, focused more on the medical and officer training evidence in the case instead of just relying on the videotape of the incident which the state had done so previously. As a result, Officer Laurence Powell and Sergeant Stacey Koon, were found guilty by a jury and sentenced to 30 months of prison, while Timothy Wind and Theodore Briseno were acquitted of all charges against them.
I hope those who witnessed the incident can come forward to proof that Chang Jiun Haur did not intentionally try to ran his car over the FRU. I also hope that Suhakam can take action against those 20 FRUs who beat the shit out of Chang Junn Haur, we do not need this kind of gangster in our so-call elite squad which are suppose to protect the citizens and to maintain law and order. Not forgetting the senior officer who make that idiot comment saying "He asked for it. He ran over a policeman and he got what he deserved", he is the one who dont deserve to be a high rank officer in the squad.
True Malaysian
I am a chinese educated and thus, naturally my England is not very powderful. So you may find alot of grammatical mistake in my article and I would like to apologize. But being a chinese educated I have my advantages, I can read the chines press and get more interesting news, which you may not be able to get it in the English dailies.
Before this, I dont really understand the meaning of "True Malaysian". Before this, I always thought it can use to describe those malaysian who make the country and it's people proud. For example, the the famous Mr. Astronaut where the government spent billion citizen tax money to send him to the space or the badminton player who won a prestigious competition.
It is, however, now that I realized that the real meaning of "True Malaysian". A real True Malaysian is those people who will scarify themself and their time for the sake of others. A True Malaysian will do what it takes to make sure that their mission is achieved and will not back down from any hindrance.
Look at these pictures taken at the junction of the BMC access road on 30th May, you can see volunteers are busying directing traffic to ensure that there is no accident during the rush hour, some busying directing the tractor to clear off the remaining rock bolder so that car can safely enter the access road. Even the tractor driver also volunteer to help out when he pass through the area.
Bear in mind that these people are not paid to do this. They could have chosen to stay at their house to watch TV or to go to a mamak to have a nice cup of teh tarik. Instead of that, they choose to go help out at the BMC access road. For that I salute to them. You all are the "True Malaysian"
Again, I am disappointed at the police because according the them, during the evening of 27 of May, traffic police were busying directing traffic thus they are unable to do anything. However, where are they today? They are no where to be seen, leaving the traffic problem to the citizens and residents of BMC.

Cabinet orders Cheras barriers removed

There is finally some good news for Bandar Mahkota Cheras (BMC) residents - the federal government has ordered that a toll-free access road in their neighbourhood not be barricaded.
BMC Open Road Committee chairperson Tan Boon Hwa said that he was informed of this by Transport Minister Ong Tee Keat this afternoon....Works Minister Mohd Zin Mohamed, who visited the site this afternoon, confirmed the cabinet decision to the gathered residents, numbering some 300.
He told the jubilant residents that the access would be allowed immediately and that Grand Saga would be tasked to repair the road.
The minister however was unsure if the free access would be a temporary or a permanent feature, adding that it depended on the outcome of a court case between BMC developer Narajaya Snd Bhd and Grand Saga.
My 2 cents worth: Hurray ... hope this is a permanent one, but still if the court rule in favor or Grand Saga, then all this effort of the people will be gone ... let's cross our fingers ...
議長指不需即時處理
For the benefits of those who cant read chinese, below is the article found on Chinapress titling "Speaker stated there's no need for immediately resolution"
The articles stated that the Parliment Deputy Speaker Datuk Wan Junaidi Tuanku claimed that since the case between Grand Saga & Narajaya has been brought up to court, and there's no need for immediately attention, as the 2 reasons to reject a special motion raised by the Serdang MP Teo Nie Chin to discuss on the BMC barricade issue.
The decision by the Deputy speaker has cause several unrest among the opposition parties and there's was a 15 min debate on the decision by the Deputy Speaker.
Datuk Wan Junaidi Tuanku further stated that firstly, the deputy speaker feels that there no need for immediate resolution, secondly, since the case has been brought up to the court, according to the parliment regulation, it cannot be discuss anymore.
DAP's Tony Pua Kiam Wee then stated that if the incident incolved beating, then the issue can be discuss at parliment. However, the Deputy Speaker asked him not to interfear as there are still many other important topic to be discussed.
The Deputy Speaker further stated that he knows the importance of the issue but as a Legislative committee, he has to abite to the law of this country.
Serdang MP Teo Nie Chin however disagree as she stated that this involved Grand Saga and the developer, Narajaya. Furthermore, it also involved Police beating citizens, thus this is very important.
M.Kura Segaran, who is a lawyer by profession, raised that the parliamentary practices No. 18（3）stated if there are more than 15 parliment members support, the parliment must agreed for the special motion.
Datuk Wan Junaidi Tuanku also claimed he is a lawyer by profession said that if accept this special motion, it will be discuss in the afternoon at 4:30pm, not now. Then he further stated that since he, the Deputy Speaker, stated that since he feel that is no need for immerdiate resolution, then the move to raise parlimentary practices no. 18(3) is void.
At last, Datuk Wan Junaidi Tuanku using parlimentary practice no 43, which claim that the decision of the Speaker is the last to reject the special motion raised.

（吉隆坡29日訊）國會下議院今日基于案件，已帶上法庭，以及不需即時處理的兩大理由，駁回沙登區國會議員張念群，針對雪州皇冠城封路引發流血事件的緊急動議。
副議長拿督旺朱乃迪的決定，惹來反對黨議員的不滿，當場引發一場超過15分鐘的舌戰。
面對新丁“小辣椒”張念群據理力爭，還有民主行動黨3大巨頭，即怡保西區議員古拉、大山腳區議員章瑛、靈北區議員潘儉偉的聲援圍攻，副議長一度大叫“多窿”（Tolong），一邊關掉擴音器“消音”，一邊請眾議員坐下，避免繼續喧鬧不休。
旺朱乃迪說，第一，議長認為就此事，不需要即時處理；第二，此事已帶上法庭，根據議會常規，不可在議會討論。
場面混亂
潘儉偉打岔說，如果涉及被毆打事件，國會仍可討論；副議長則要求他別干預，因仍有很多重要課題要討論。
他指出，知道此事十分重要，但身為立法委員，本身需贊同國家條規。
張念群不認同此說法，因為這是克連沙嘉大道公司，與發展商之間的事，且警方被指毆打人民，此事態嚴重。
律師出身的古拉，援引議會常規第18（3）條文，指當獲得超過15名議員支持，國會必須同意此緊急動議。
自稱也是律師的旺朱乃迪回應說，如果接受這項動議，可以帶到下午4時30分辯論，但不是現在；但議長之前已駁回，對方認為不需要即時處理，因此不可援引議會常規第18（3）條文。
最后，旺朱乃迪援引議會第43條文，即議長權力為最后決定，駁回這項緊急動議，也制止有點混亂的場面。

MCA condemns attack on Bandar Mahkota Cheras residents
Source: http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Thursday/NewsBreak/20080529182540/Article
PUTRAJAYA, thurs:
MCA vice president Datuk Ong Tee Keat said he had already met members of the Bandar Mahkota Cheras Action Committee and received complaints that violence had been used in order to stop the residents from dismantling the barrier. "I am dismayed that several residents from the housing estate were hurt by irresponsible people under the full glare of the police. "I’m going to follow up the case with the Selangor Chief Police Officer and the Inspector-General of Police over the incident. Any attempt by any quarters to bring in thugs or mobs to threaten the public must never be condoned,” he told Bernama here today. "As residents and property owners, they deserve the right to make their voices heard. Whether they are members of any political parties or not, that is secondary but the point here is that the use of violence must never be allowed,” said Ong, who is also Selangor MCA chairman.
On Tuesday, about a dozen residents, including a photographer from a local Malay daily were injured after they were beaten by a group of people who tried to prevent the residents from dismantling the barrier, which was erected by a contractor engaged by the toll operator, Grand Saga Sdn Bhd.
The residents have accused the toll operator of hiring thugs armed with sticks to stop them from tearing down the barrier.
The toll operator has since denied that they hired thugs. Police have launched an investigation to identify those responsible.
My 2 cents worth: Finally, after so long, someone from MCA make some sense talking here. But dont just talk, show us the action, extend your help to those needed, especially the 4 people who were arrested on the night of 27 May (Chang Jiun Haur and gang). Since the Police is going to sue they for attempt of murder, help them by providing legal advice and consultation. Dont just sit in your nice air-con office and just saying "we condemn this, we condemn that". Words without action is meaningless.

Another Idiot
With the access road reopen again, i reach home a happy man. I look at all those involved in the process of open the access road, you guys are our hero. While having my dinner, I read this small article on Sin Chew:
Based on the article, it says that:
"MCA youth committee member, Loh Chew June stated that he is giving a stern warning to those thugs who use brutal force against the residents of Bandar Mahkota Cheras.
He further sated that all this while, MCA does not agreed to barricade the access road at Bandar Mahkota Cheras. Since the access road is open now, the highway concession company should just leave it be. Since the developer and highway concession company has bring the matter to court, then just let the law to decide whether the road should be open or not."
My 2 cents worth: Reading this article is a joke where I nearly choke myself with rice, especially the part "MCA does not agreed to barricade the access road ....". He must be mad or something to dare to claim such comment. MCA does not agreed to barricade the access road? Since when a MCA member stand out to make any statement since the incidence started. I recalled since this issue was brought up back few years ago, the committee has actually went to MCA for help but they had refused to get involve.
Since April 2008 when the residents forcefully remove the first barricade untill now, the 3rd time they removing it in May 2008, I did not recall seeing any of the MCA members come forward to make any statement regarding this issue. Read my words - NON!!!.
Oh now our Mr. Loh Chew June from the MCA youth claimed that MCA does not agreed to barricade the access road of Bandar Mahkota Cheras. I would like to post this question to you, do you think we, the citizens of Malaysia, are all idiot like you? Do you think by saying now that MCA does not agreed to barricade the access road make us feel thankful to you and this is considered as helping us the residents at Bandar Mahkota Cheras?
By just making this one statement does not make you and your party the hero of the residents in BMC and neither it will make you and your party the hero of the chinese community. Where were you all, the so-called chinese community representative, when the residents were blasted with water canon, tear gas and beaten up by the thugs? Did any of you all went to visit the poor guy, Chang Jiun Haur, who got beaten by 20 FRU? There are thousand of question in me that I cant finish asking it here. So don't bull us my friend, by just making a small statement there. The majority of the Chinese community has lost faith in your party.

皇冠城封路兇徒打人30傷‧警方否認袖手旁觀
Again for the benefits of those who cant read Chinese, the following article was found in SinChew. Chor Chee Heung of MCA commented that the police was not just watching the whole beating drama at Bandar Mahkota Cheras access road, as cited by various people. He claimed that during the beating incident, police was not in the vicinity. When police arrived to the area, the beating was over and those thugs ran away.
He further said that since police was not at the vicinity when the beating was going on, the claimed that police did not interfear was not right.
However, he stated that if any one saw police on the area and did not act on it, please go lodge a report and pass the report to him and he will ask his department to do an investigation.
On the other hand, Simaiaoma claimed that police had never interfeared in the Bandar Mahkota Cheras.
When Simaiaoma was asked whether the police will make a quick arrest on the suspected gangster, he did not answer. just answered that police never interfered in the issue. He said police advice both side to have a discussion to solve this issue and he maintained that police is always the neutral party.

（吉隆坡）針對蕉賴皇冠城封路現場發生持械兇徒攻擊居民事件，內政部副部長拿督曹智雄強調，警方並沒有袖手旁觀；而全國副總警長拿督依斯邁奧馬則表示，警方立場中立，不會偏幫任何一方。
曹智雄在國會走廊受詢時指出，據他瞭解，週二（5月27日）晚上發生的衝突和流血事件，警方並沒有如一些人所指般，袖手旁觀。
他說，根據證人指出，在衝突事件發生時，警方並不在場，當警方接到投報趕到現場時，衝突事件已經結束，打人者已經溜走。
他表示，事發時警方並不在場，因此所謂的袖手旁觀並不正確。
不過，他指出，如果有人看到當時警方在場而又沒有採取任何行動的話，他們應該去報警，並把報案書交給他，以便他進行內部調查。
警方：中立不干預
另一方面，依斯邁奧馬表示，警方沒有介入蕉賴皇冠城封路事件，並希望兩方面好好坐下來洽商問題。
當記者問及警方是否會逮捕使用暴力的兇徒時，他並沒有回答這個問題，只是一再強調警方從來沒有介入雙方的紛爭，警方希望雙方好好坐下來商談，警方由始至終都保持中立。
當記者詢問有公眾受傷包括一名攝影記者也被打傷，警方是否會對付兇徒時，依斯邁表示警方保持中立不干預的立場，這樣的答案令在場的記者感到錯愕。
“警察是中立的，我希望大家都遵守法律。”
警方不確定兇徒身份
警方刻調查打人兇徒的身份，暫不確定他們的背景。
雪州總警長拿督卡立阿布巴卡說，警方不確定這些人是否與私會黨有關，如果查出他們的身分，警方肯定會採取對付行動。
另一方面，加影警區主任沙卡魯丁助理總監表示，在週二晚上發生的暴方事件中，有7人受傷。警方尚未逮捕任何兇徒。
他說，一旦接到聯邦後備隊員毆人的投報，警方將會調查。
My 2 cents worth: Firstly, with all due respect, Mr Chor Chee Heung, next time when you wanna give comment, you should do some research or else, those comment you make will be like a slap in your own face.
There are hundred of people around the barricaded access road and these people saw the police there. I personally saw one police car came in to the area, then he reverse out to way far behind and came down the car and just stand there to look see look see. Police was also saw at the fly over directly opposite the barricade. Photos captured by reporters and other bloggers shows the police was infact around the vicinity. So what do you mean by the police was not around thus are unable to stop the fighting?
En. Simaiaoma, when you were asked whether the police will make a quick arrest on those gangster, Why didnt you answer? Is it because those gangster are related to someone behind the scene that you dare not make those arrest?
He further said that since police was not at the vicinity when the beating was going on, the claimed that police did not interfear was not right.
However, he stated that if any one saw police on the area and did not act on it, please go lodge a report and pass the report to him and he will ask his department to do an investigation.

張慶信：變流血事件, 反對黨誤導居民造成
For the benefits of those who cant read chinese, the reports below is from China Press citing that the Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club chairman Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing the Bandar Mahkota Cheras access road turn into ugly brawn was cause by the opposition party. He further cited that the opposition should bear the responsibility and beg the opposition dont further making the issue a huge problem and let others to solve it.
He further cited that since the court has announced the area is belong to the highway concession, Grand Saga, thus, there nothing wrong for Grand saga to block off the access road. He then said that opposition party is not responsible because they started all this issue and styred up the emotion of the residents and at the end did not provide any solution to the residents.
（吉隆坡28日訊）國陣后座議員俱樂部主席拿督斯里張慶信今日指出，皇冠城通道被封演變成毆鬥流血事件，是反對黨誤導當地居民所導致。
他說，反對黨應該對皇冠城流血事件負起一定程度的責任，不要將反對黨誤導居民而留下的爛攤子，讓別人收拾殘局。
他強調，週二晚發生的毆斗事件，是大家都不想看到的局面，這是反對黨當初誤導居民，令居民以為還有望開路導致的不堪局面。
張慶信今日接受《中國報》詢問時，重申他對皇冠城事件的看法，即反對黨不應誤導居民撈取政治資本。
“法庭已宣判有關路段屬大道公司所有，大道公司重新封路並沒錯。”
他說，反對黨在此事件上明顯不負責任，因為反對黨挑起當地居民的情緒后，卻沒協助解決問題。
“反對黨要好好反省，不要玩弄居民的情緒，撈取政治利益。”
My 2 cents worth: " I am very very very supprise to hear finally some one form the BN to voice out but when I read it, to my supprise, he is now blamming the opposition party for causing all this . My dear friend, if your party is unwilling to help the residents, then keep you mouth shut. Don't blame on others when ugly incident happen. Furthermore, the thugs beating the residents was believed to be hired by Grand Saga. Why dont you say something about Grand saga and instead of blaming the opposition party. The least the opposition was there to help to solve and calm the resident down."

Kajang OCPD comment on the incident at Bandar Mahkota Cheras on 27 May Night
Listen to what the Kajang OCPD has to say on the incident at Bandar Mahkota Cheras on 27 May 2008:
S'gor MB: State firm owns 20% of Grand Saga
My 2 cents worth:"Now we know why Grand Saga Executive Director Zaibal Abidin has the guts to do all this thing to the residents of Bandar Mahkota Cheras. Read Below for more info"

May 28, 08 3:03pm (Report and photos from MalaysiaKini)http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/83563
Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim revealed today that a state-owned company holds a 20 percent share in toll concessionaire Grand Saga, which is embroiled in a dispute with Bandar Mahkota Cheras (BMC) residents.
“We are holding an executive council meeting this evening and we will come up with our position. I have to listen to all the facts and study the reason why the situation has to come to this stage,” he told reporters at the Parliament lobby.
BMC-Grand Saga Update - MalaysiaKini (2)
My 2 cents worth: "Sad story to hear that Police abused their power again by beating a innocent by-stander and also joke of the day from Kajang police chief saying that the traffic police were too busy controlling traffic and could not do anything. So is he saying traffic problem is more important than human life? Read the following full report from Malaysiakini"
BMC fracas: Police beat up youth (Report and photos from MalaysiaKini) May 28, 08 2:46pm http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/83561
By his account, he was only a curiosity-seeker who wanted to know what was going on at the site of a disputed barricade near Bandar Mahkota Cheras (BMC) last night.
In no time at all, however, Chang Jiun Haur was soaked in his own blood after being repeatedly beaten by 20 riot squad (FRU) personnel armed with batons and boots with steel toes.
Chang, 21, his sister and two friends were driving away from the site of the barricade about 11.30pm, when their car was surrounded by police personnel who had earlier dealt with a fracas involving BMC residents.
He was lying on a bed, with a bloodied mouth. His shirt had been torn off by the police, and his shorts were drenched in blood. He was crying from the shock and trauma, and was unable to say much more.
DAP Selangor executive councillor Ronnie Liu, who visited Chang later, said the police had over-reacted and that the excessive use of force could not be justified.“The police should maintain law and order and not assault people. I am disappointed. My party will provide Chang and the others with lawyers,” Liu said.
‘Journalists attacked’
However, the company has disassociated itself from the incident, also saying it does not condone violence.About 7pm yesterday, defiant residents attempted to tear down the barricade that had just been rebuilt, but were confronted by unidentified men armed with iron rods, helmets and sticks.
“They attacked the residents immediately. About 10 people were assaulted and three of them were reporters. Their cameras were confiscated as well,” claimed Tan.Star reported that Utusan Malaysia photographer Roy Azis Abdul Aziz had been beaten up when he tried to take photos of the fracas.
BMC resident Chin Kee Chong’s right arm was broken (right) and he suffered injuries to his head, while another resident - Lee Ah Seng - sustained severe injuries to his head.Some residents claimed that several policemen present during the incident had failed to intervene.

A high-ranking police officer at the scene claimed that Chang had run over a FRU personnel with his car, and that the police reacted to this.“He asked for it. He ran over a policeman and he got what he deserved,” the officer told Malaysiakini a few minutes after the incident.
Asked to identify the personnel, the officer had initial difficulty in persuading the individual to come forward. When he did so, the man claimed: “He tried to run me over...look at my baton, it is broken. What more evidence do you want?”
However, a police officer who took Chang to the Kajang Hospital said none of the personnel had been hit by the latter’s car.Chang denied this as well: “We had just come back (to Kuala Lumpur) from Port Dickson and wanted to see what was going on.”
He was lying on a bed, with a bloodied mouth. His shirt had been torn off by the police, and his shorts were drenched in blood. He was crying from the shock and trauma, and was unable to say much more.
It is learnt that Chang was placed in the intensive care unit. The other occupants of his car were arrested last night, but were released today according to BMC Open Road Committee chairperson Tan Boon Hwa who has been keeping tabs on last night’s dramatic events.
DAP Selangor executive councillor Ronnie Liu, who visited Chang later, said the police had over-reacted and that the excessive use of force could not be justified.“The police should maintain law and order and not assault people. I am disappointed. My party will provide Chang and the others with lawyers,” Liu said.
‘Journalists attacked’
Chinese-language dailies reported today that more than 10 people were seriously injured in yesterday’s incident, which saw BMC residents assaulted by ‘thugs’ allegedly hired by toll concessionaire Grand Saga.
However, the company has disassociated itself from the incident, also saying it does not condone violence.About 7pm yesterday, defiant residents attempted to tear down the barricade that had just been rebuilt, but were confronted by unidentified men armed with iron rods, helmets and sticks.
“They attacked the residents immediately. About 10 people were assaulted and three of them were reporters. Their cameras were confiscated as well,” claimed Tan.Star reported that Utusan Malaysia photographer Roy Azis Abdul Aziz had been beaten up when he tried to take photos of the fracas. BMC resident Chin Kee Chong’s right arm was broken (right) and he suffered injuries to his head, while another resident - Lee Ah Seng - sustained severe injuries to his head.Some residents claimed that several policemen present during the incident had failed to intervene.
Kajang police chief Shakaruddin Che Mood, however, said they were only traffic policemen whom he had sent to the area for traffic control.“They were too busy controlling traffic and could not do anything,” he told reporters, adding that five police reports have been lodged on the assault.
Grand Saga has been involved in a long-running dispute over its bid to block a toll-free access road from BMC to the Cheras-Kajang Highway. The barricade has been rebuilt on three occasions, after being torn down by residents.
The Selangor menteri besar's political secretary, Nik Nazmi Nik Ali, has said that a response will be issued today over last night’s incident.
Letter to MCA
Dear Sir,
I am not a big fans of MCA since I was young, but I somehow still had a little faith left in your group. However, lately, I have totally lost all my faith in MCA.
It is still fresh in my mind that after the total lost of MCA in the March 8th General Election, MCA has vow to change their direction, to be closer to the people, to be the real chinese community representative by listening to their opinion, fight for their rights and so on. All those leaders' comments on the importance of changes in MCA can be found in local dailies.
However, I am wondering where is MCA in the incidence involving Bandar Mahkota Cheras residence. Just for your benefit, Bandar Mahkota Cheras is a newly developed housing area. It is now reached around 30,000 residence living in that housing estate, of which 80% of them are Chinese residence. Where are you all, the so-called chinese community representative when there's problem and we needed your help?
When will only MCA leaders willingly stand out and speak on behalf of the chinese community in Bandar Mahkota Cheras? Everyday when we read the local dailies, there's no representative from MCA saying anything or extend their help the Bandar Mahkota Cheras Residence. The residence have been blasted with water cannon, fired by tear gas and even now beaten by the low class gangster, leaving 2 seriously injured.
Dear MCA leaders, please let us know why are you all keeping quiet in this matter. Do you all have to wait till people dying only you all are willing to voice out or it is your plan to remain silance forever, hoping that this incidence will cool off by itself?

BMC-Grand Saga Update - MalaysiaKini
My 2 cents worth: "I am curious, will anyone admit that they are the theft if caught stealing? Or a Rapiest will say "Yes i raped this gal". The answer is of course NO one will ever admit it. Read below report from Malaysiakini on Grand Saga denial of any involvement in the latest "Thugs" beating the shit out of the residence of Bandar Mahkota Cheras"

Toll operator Grand Saga today distanced itself from the fracas which occurred last night at the barricaded toll-free access road to the Cheras-Kajang Highway in Bandar Mahkota Cheras (BMC).
The fracas involved residents and several unidentified men and caused injuries to more than 10 residents, some of whom who were seriously hurt and had to be admitted to the Kajang hospital.
"Grand Saga wishes to state that it disassociates itself from the altercations between several parties yesterday and that it does not condone violence in any form," said the company's executive director Zainal Abidin Ali (left) in statement today.
"Grand Saga further wishes to extend its sympathy to the several persons who sustained injuries in the unfortunate incident," said Zainal, who is former Dang Wangi police chief.
He also said that some of its contractors were also injured while carrying out their duties yesterday, adding that a police report has been lodged on the matter.Zainal said the incident could have been instigated by certain parties and that the company would be filing a police report on that fracas.
Yesterday a violent stand-off erupted when the residents decided to tear down the concrete boulders which Grand Saga had placed to block the alternate toll-free road.
Tensions rose when the residents clashed with a group of men purportedly hired by Grand Saga to protect the barricade.According to residents, about a dozen people were injured after they were assaulted by 30 'thugs'.
Armed with rods and sticks BMC Open the Road Committee Tan Boon Hwa when contacted had said that he had received information that the men were armed with iron rods, helmets and sticks.
"At about 7pm, the thugs came and assaulted the residents who tried to bring down the barricades. There was even a female resident who was beaten up by eight thugs," Tan told Malaysiakini.Residents too had lodged several police reports against the attacks on them.
Residents too had lodged several police reports against the attacks on them. It was also learnt that two residents were admitted at Kajang hospital after suffering injuries caused by the thugs. One of them was said to have suffered facial injuries and a broken hand.
Residents only dispersed from the site after 11pm after repeated requests by the police to do so. In the meantime, the residents managed to dismantle three of four of the huge boulders.
On Monday Zainal Abidin gave notice that Grand Saga would be rebuilding the barricade after having a court ruling in its favour.Its contractors then started work at 1am yesterday to build the five-foot high wall across the double-lane access road and finished their work by 3.30pm yesterday, after which the residents had gathered in big numbers and attempted to tear it down.
The Selangor state government had previously shown its support for the residents and is expected to make an announcement on the matter today.
