Hee should stop making silly statements

            I find it hard to believe that Selangor State exco for tourism, environment, green technology and Orang Asli affairs, Hee Loy Sian could make such a statement that "Bukit Lagong quarrying won't affect Orang Asli."

            I quote:

“These approvals were made taking into consideration not just the demand for stones in the effort to develop Selangor, but also sustainability, reducing environmental impact, controlling the production rate of stone materials, and reducing congestion on production road."

            If I were not wrong, this  is the impact of only two operating quarries in the area, but now, under Amirudin and his predessor, 28 quarry mini-licenses have been issued. 

What a great eco-tourism spot this is!

           Not only did former FRIM director-general Salleh Mohd Nor say that "quarries that will come up in the Bukit Lagong Forest Reserve will undermine the Forest Research Institute’s (FRIM’s) efforts to apply for the zone to be a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) World Heritage Site," but the Orang Asli themselves have expressed their concerns.




             Hee must have heard the proverbial Malay saying, `Harapkan Pegar, Pegar Makan Padi.' We voted you and your party hoping that you will protect the interest of the people; instead, you have disappointed us. 
            You will pay heftily in the coming election.  Your turn will come; meanwhile, your colleagues in PH are also being criticised for not doing much to put a stop to what is happening to the forest reserve -- to the point that I am even wondering whether I should even vote for Pakatan Harapan, when you and your colleagues cannot even solve problems on the ground. 
            This makes me wonder whether the portfolios he is carrying --in fact, such a mouthful list of portfolios -- was coincidental or premeditated since he is in charge of both environment and Orang Asli affairs.

           Hee had made an earlier comment which I thought was simply bizarre. 

           

         Apparently, Hee does not understand his role as state exco in charge of the environment. When the trees are felled in a forest reserve to give way to the quarries, it is no longer `forest reserve.' The entire habitat would be wiped off and it will take many years before the land can be rehabilitated into forest reserve again.

        Therefore, I wonder if Hee even understood his role as state exco. I know people are trying to promote eco-tourism, but what kind of tourism can a quarry provide to the tourists except for the frequent explosions? 

        I rest my case. In fact, we are waiting for the Menteri Besar of Selangor Amirudin Shari to respond to the press himself, seeing that as Menteri Besar, land matter is his responsibility -- something which he cannot anyhow delegate to his goons.

Sdr. Gobind, Kalau dah tak nak dengar bisikan, maka laungan kuat perlu dibuat juga

Pada hari ini, 20 hari selepas saya mula menulis blog pos ini, saya hanya kongsikannya kepada beberapa orang. Hanya 30 views. Tapi sehingga ini, kerana tidak ada sebarang jawapan yang diberi oleh YB Gobind, barulah aku kongsikan dengan lebih ramai orang. Memang betul jika pelbagai alasan diberi seperti perlu masa untuk menyelesaikan masalah, kita boleh terima, tapi jika membisu saja, memang sukar kita nak terima.  Yang penting untuk kami adalah YB Gobind lebih peka dengan pelbagai masalah yang dihadapi oleh penduduk tidak kira siapa yang mengadu. Sepatutnya tugas ahli parlimen, ahli dewan undangan negeri, ahli majlis, YDP majlis, Ahli Exco kerajaan negeri Selangor dan Menteri Besar bekerjasama menyelesaikan masalah dengan baik. Sama-sama kita membangunkan negeri Selangor Darul Ehsan.  --------------------------------------------- KAWASAN PARLIMEN Kepong di bawah mantan ahli parlimen YB Dr Tan Seng Giaw memberi sebab saya telah menyokong DAP sejak 1988 lagi, tapi kebelakangan i...

The Need for Intervention

Writing at 2am, don’t expect me to edit the work. It is shared truly from the heart…. Just for illustration purposes A friendly Pakatan Harapan leader has given his feedback to my post about the state of Selangor now.           "I wish I could see who you'll vote," he wrote.           Although we have not met in person, I could sense from our "discussions" in the past, that he is friendly. And he is more inclined to listen if it is rational. Therefore, time spent in 'chatting' with him, I hope has not gone to waste.          My response to him was simple, coming from my own heart: "I want to see improvement in Selangor before next GE especially at the local government level."          To be honest, who else do we want to vote in Selangor in the coming general election? Azmin Ali? In fact, the rot in Selangor had begun since the later part of his first term.     ...

UPDATED 13 DECEMBER 2024: ACID TEST FOR NEXT GE: Can PH State Government in Selangor deliver?

Image
Original report : May 14, 2024 The relevant people below have been informed.  Updated Report for MPS: 27 October 2024 after one week informing the YDP of Majlis Perbandaran Selayang in early October to make sure there is sufficient time to do anything. Updated Report for MBPJ:  13 December 2024. There is more than sufficient time for MBPJ to do something to solve the problems on the ground but see if they are doing anything. By now the Datuk Bandar should have informed the respective directors in charge. We will visit the Sri Damansara PJKita next to see how much of the problems highlighted are solved. Leftover materials from road construction remain abandoned at Jalan Tembaga SD 5/2, Bandar Sri Damansara. NEGERI:                     SELANGOR  MENTERI BESAR:     DATUK SERI AMIRUDIN SHAARI  EXCO:                         YB NG SU...
