| Batu Estate residents call off hunger strike Posted: 01 Mar 2011 08:02 PM PST  Photo taken from http://malaysiakini.com/ Source: http://thestar.com.my/metro (By PRIYA MENON, 2/3/2011) Together with them were PKR vice-president N. Surendran, Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng, Batu MP Tian Chua and Port Dickson assemblyman M. Ravi. The residents said they would resort to a hunger strike if mayor Datuk Seri Ahmad Fuad Ismail or After several minutes, DBKL enforcement officers came down to meet the residents but were sent upstairs again with a request from the residents for a meeting. Finally Director-General Datuk Salleh Yusup agreed to a discussion without members of the press. "He (Salleh) met with all the residents who attended the protests today and agreed to their requests. "They will allow the residents to discuss the matter with the developer without interference from DBKL," Surendran informed the press. He said it was unfortunate the residents had to overcome so many obstacles before their grievances were heard. Tian Chua said this was a partial victory for the residents and the developer needed to come up with an amicable settlement. Lim highlighted that Salleh declined to provide minutes of the meeting or a written agreement on the issue. "He said that he could only do this much at his level and if orders came from 'above' he would have to change it," added Lim. Later, during a press conference with members of the media, Salleh confirmed DBKL's decision to cancel the demolition orders that were to take place tomorrow. He said the local authority would wait for a court order once both parties had settled their differences. "I feel that their requests are valid; they have requested that we allow them to continue discussions with the developer and we have agreed," he said. When asked about the use of the Emergency Ordinance, Salleh said it was stated in the ordinance that developers could request the local council's assistance for a fee.  |
| Fathers of murdered youths send memo Posted: 01 Mar 2011 07:30 PM PST   Source: http://www.sun2surf.com/article.cfm?id=58148 (By Charles Ramendran, 28/2/2011) The fathers of three youths who were murdered in Masjid Tanah, Malacca on Jan 25 turned up at the Bukit Aman federal police headquarters today to hand over a memorandum citing their dissatisfaction over investigations into the case. Businessman Chong Kim Siak, 52, painter Lan Soon Hing, 49 and former livestock farmer Tai Keng Teng, 56 questioned how police could consider the case solved when they had only nabbed one suspect – a 16-year-old teenager who is expected to be charged on March 2. Accompanied by Kota Melaka MP Sim Tong Him, Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng and Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar, the men, who arrived Bukit Aman at 11am, said they are baffled as to how a 16-year-old boy could singlehandedly commit triple murder. "They want Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar to intervene and re-open the case. Malacca police have told them that the case will not be pursued further unless there are new leads. "The fathers of the victims want to know why police released the other nine suspects who were apparently at the crime scene on the day, and who were later arrested. The police have not given a reasonable explanation to the victims' families," said Sim.  |
