| Posted: 07 Sep 2012 02:43 AM PDT As I have explained the sale by open tender of the 1.1 acre Taman Manggis Land Sales, BN Chairman Teng Chang Yeow should explain the cheap sale of over 2,000 acres of state land but also why 1,600 acres of reclaimed land off Butterworth were given free to Rayston Consortium(Butterworth) Sdn Bhd or Rayston when he was part of the previous BN government. BN has clearly run out of political capital when it resorted to not only attacking members of my family but also even my landlady. BN had lodged reports with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission claiming that I had actually owned the house I was renting. Now they turn around and admit my landlady owned the house but she has a share in the Taman Manggis land. First, my landlady did not bid for the land. She is also not part of any company bidding from the land. As the Taman Manggis land is by open tender, anyone can bid. Even my landlady or Tan Sri Syed Moktar can also bid and will be awarded if they pay the highest price. BN has no shame in harrassing my landlady when she did not even bid for the 1.1 acre piece of land? Instead of talking of 1.1 acre piece of land, BN should answer for the nearly 4,000 acres of state land sold without open competitive tender as follows:- a) In the Tanjong Tokong Reclamation, under Agreements dated 1990 & 1999, the developer was given the right to reclaim and develop 980 acres of land off Tanjong Tokong at the price of RM 1 per square foot! b) 750 acres of land in Batu Kawan was sold in 2004 at between RM3.05 to RM 4 per square feet. c) As for the Jelutong Expressway, under Agreements dated 1997, 2002 & 2003, the developer was given the right to reclaim 325 acres of land in exchange for constructing the Jelutong Expressway at an estimated cost of RM300 million and cash payment of RM25.4 million. In other words, the total cost is RM325.4 million for 325 acres or the cost of reclaimed land at Jelutong Expressway is RM 1 million per acre or over RM 20 per square feet. What's more the developer can pay RM 25.4 million over 10 years from 2005 up to 2015 – surely a record for length of payment period. d) 1,600 acres of reclaimed land off Butterworth was given to Rayston free. Rayston only had to pay RM50 million reclamation cost and build a highway which they are paying through toll collections. Teng should also explain why 18.7 acres land in Midlands Court and the site of Prangin Mall was sold by tender but not to the highest bidder. Instead for both sites, the 2nd highest bidder was selected. Finally if BN is sincere about building low-cost housing, why is it that BN did not fulfill its promise and plans to build two 17-storey block of low-cost flats on the present 1st Avenue and Traders Hotel sites? This caused financial losses to the people of Penang and were amongst the many reasons Gerakan lost all its seats and BN was rejected in the 2008 general elections. Clearly, BN is using the Taman Manggis issue to try to save BN Penang Chair Teng Chang Yeow for failing to show proof that myself, Chow Kon Yeow, Phee Boon Poh, Wong Hon Wai and Ng Wei Aik has a personal interest in the hospital project. BN is desperately clutching at straws by even attacking my landlady even though she did not bid for the land. Teng knows he is lying because the sale of the Taman Manggis land was conducted by open competitive tender where anyone bidding the highest price will be awarded to build a private hospital. Unless Teng answer, the state government would no longer respond to BN's lies and attacks. —-Mandarin Version —– 槟州首长林冠英于2012年9月7日在乔治市光大发表声明： 我已经解释山竹园1.1英亩地段是公开招标出售，邓章耀也应该解释为什么贱卖超过2千英亩州土地，还有免费赠送Rayston北海 1600英亩的填海范围？ 我已经解释山竹园1.1英亩地段是公开招标出售，邓章耀也应该解释为什么前朝政府贱卖超过2千英亩州土地，还有免费赠送Rayston Consortium（北海）有限公司1600英亩的北海填海范围？邓章耀当时是前朝州政府的一分子。国阵明显已耗尽政治资本，所以不只攻击我家人，也包括我的女屋主。 国阵已向反贪会报案，指我现租的屋子是我的产业，现在他们转过来承认屋子是女屋主的，但她有参与山竹园地段交易。 与其针对1.1依格的土地小题大作，国阵应该就没有公开招标出售近4千平方尺的土地一事作出解释： a) 丹绒道光填海地在1990及1999年的合约中，前朝政府让发展商以每平方尺1令吉的价格，在丹绒道光进行填海发展980英亩的土地。 b) 在2004年，峇都加湾750英亩以每平方尺3.05至4令吉的价格出售。 c) 日落洞高速公路在1997年、2002年及2003年的合同中，前朝政府让发展商以2540万令吉及一条价值3亿令吉的日落洞高速公路，进行填海发展325.4英亩的土地。换句话说，日落洞高速公路的325英亩地段总值3亿2540万令吉，或 1英亩100万令吉，或每平方尺20令吉。更何况，发展商可以用10年（2005年至2015年）偿还2540万令吉，这么长的偿还期，肯定破了偿还期限记录。 d)免费赠送Rayston Consortium（北海）有限公司1600英亩的北海填海范围。Rayston 只需要缴付5千万令吉的填海费，以及承建一条大道的费用而已，而这些费用，也可以靠收过路费赚回的。 邓章耀也应该解释为什么在Midlands Counrt 及柏兰宜广场地段的18.7英亩经过招标却不是最高价者得。而是把土地出售给第二高价的竞标者。最后，如果国阵是真心诚意要兴建廉价屋，为什么国阵没有履行诺言和计划，在之前的1st Avenue 及Traders Hotel 的原址兴建两座17层楼的廉价组屋？这让槟州人民造成巨大的损失，这也是为什么民政党失去所有议席及国阵在2008年全国大选被选民拒绝的原因。 很明显地，国阵只是利用山竹园的课题，来拯救国阵槟州主席邓章耀，他们根本没有办法证明曹观友、彭文宝、黄汉伟及黄污益在医院工程涉及私人利益。国阵真的 是黔驴技穷，连我的屋主也要攻击，而她根本没有参与竞标。邓章耀知道自己撒了谎，因为山竹园的土地是在公开招标的情况下出售的，任何人都可以用最高的价格 来购买土地、兴建私人医院。 除非邓章耀回答我们的问题，否则州政府将不会再回应国阵的任何谎言及攻击性言论。 林冠英 |
| Posted: 07 Sep 2012 02:59 AM PDT Press Statement by DAP Secretary-General and MP for Bagan Lim Guan Eng in Kuala Lumpur on 7.9.2012. The Home Minister Must Apologise For the Police Harsh And Heavy-handed Treatment Of 19-Year old Kids With Handcuffs Merely For Stamping On The Pictures Of The Prime Minster Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak When Even BN Leaders Charged For Corruption Were Not Handcuffed. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak should show he has got a big heart by not just forgiving the teenagers who have apologised for stamping on his picture but also stop the high-handed and severe punishment of them as if they had committed some heinous crime of murder, armed robbery and rape. Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Hussein Onn must apologise for the police's harsh and heavy-handed treatment including a 19-year old girl with handcuffs merely for stamping on the pictures of the Prime Minster Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak when even BN leaders charged for corruption were not handcuffed. Malaysians are outraged by the handcuffs placed on the kids which included 19 year-old girl who voluntarily surrendered. Handcuffs are not usually required unless the accused is violent, or has committed a crime of violence, or may attempt to escape. In this case, handcuffing a young girl who had voluntarily surrendered is nothing but an abuse of power and an act of humiliation. Kuala Lumpur police chief Mohmad Salleh has defended his men for handcuffing a 19-year-old girl who surrendered herself yesterday saying that the matter was very “light” and mild as she was handcuffed in front and not behind her back as proper procedures required. Such statements not only show that the police is insensitive, irresponsible and not making any sense as why BN leaders were given special treatment and not handcuffed in the back when they were charged for corruption or cheating the public? Hishammuddinhad said stern action against those involved had to be taken as the incident is extreme and aimed at sowing hatred for the country leaders. This is a clear abuse of power when the teenagers are investigated not for any serious criminal offences like murder or rape or armed robbery but under sections 290 and 504 of the Penal Code for being public nuisances and intentionally causing insult with an intent to provoke break the public peace, respectively. Those convicted under Section 290 may be fined up to RM400 while those found guilty under Section 504 are liable to be jailed up to two years or fined, or both. By allowing such stern action, Hishamuddin practices double standards as no action was taken against those who behaved in a similar manner against Bersih co-Chair Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan when her picture was burnt and her dignity assaulted by a "butt-dance" performance as well as a "burger protest" in which beef burgers were grilled outside her private residence despite the fact that she is known to be a Hindu and a vegetarian. Neither was any action taken when my own picture was stepped on, burnt and funeral rites performed with my image by Perkasa. Why is it Perkasa members are not charged for such offensive action against non-Malay leaders from the opposition PR? Why is it no action was taken against those who beat up reporters during a violent demonstration on Penang Bridge? Is Hishamuddin and the police trying to tell Malaysians that stepping on a picture is a more serious crime compared to corruption? By victimising young, powerless and defenceless kids, they are merely revealing themselves to be bullies and cowards. The treatment suffered by the young girl and teenagers shows the abuse of power, double-standards, bullying and cowardly tactics of Hishamuddin that question his fitness as Home Minister. —Mandarin Version —- 民主行动党兼峇眼区国会议员林冠英那个于2012年9月7日在吉隆坡发表声明： 内政部长必须为警方用手铐对付一个19岁青少年的刻薄和严厉做法作出道歉，只因为她仅踩踏首相拿督斯里纳吉的肖像，然而即使被控告贪污的国阵领袖都没被拷上手铐。 首相纳吉应该展示他的宽容，不只是接受踩踏他肖像青少年的道歉，也必须停止他高高上在，以权威来惩罚他们，他们不是犯了令人发指的罪行，如谋杀、武装抢劫和强奸。内政部长拿督斯里希山慕丁必须为警方的苛刻和严厉手法道歉，包括以手铐铐住一名19岁女生，只因为她踩踏了首相的肖像，然而即使贪污的国阵领袖都没被拷上手铐。 国人对用手铐对付一个自首而且年仅19岁的女孩感到愤怒，手铐多只是用来对付暴力、涉及暴力罪案行，或可能企图逃跑的人，对一个自首年轻女孩扣上手铐，只不过是滥用权力和羞辱的行为。 吉隆坡总警长末玛沙列辩称为少女上手铐"温柔符合程序"，因为她的手被拷在前面而不是背后，这样的说法不仅证明警方不敏感、不负责任，也没有意义。为什么国阵领袖获得特殊的待遇，他们被控告贪污和欺骗公众时，双手没被拷在背后？ 希山慕丁说，必须严厉对付那些参与极端和传播憎恨国家领袖的分子，这是明显的滥权，一个没有涉及任何严重刑事罪行，如谋杀、强奸或武装抢劫的青少年，在刑事法典第290条文（公共骚扰之处罚））和第504条文下（蓄意侮辱）下被调查。在第290条文下被定罪者可能被罚款高达400令吉，而第504条被判有罪，可能监禁长达两年或罚款，或两者兼施。 希山慕丁允许警方严厉的行为，证明他双重标准，因为那些以类似方式对净选盟联合主席拿督安美嘉的人，如在其家门前摆汉堡摊及跳臀舞羞辱她的人士，却没有被采取任何行动。安美嘉的照片也被焚烧，她也以素食及兴都徒自居，这些人公然在其私邸烧烤汉堡。 同样的，当我的肖像被土权踩踏、焚烧，甚至进行葬礼仪式时，也不见当局展开了任何行动。为什么土权以此方式攻击民联反对党的非马来人领袖时，却没有遭到提控？那些在去年由巫统及土权在槟城大桥展开的暴力示威行动中，殴打打记者的人士，怎么又没有被对付？ 难道希山慕丁及警方要试图告诉国人：踩踏一张照片的罪行比贪污更严重？让年轻及手无寸铁的孩子受害，他们只是在揭示自己是恶霸和懦夫。让年轻的女孩子及青少年面对这等的对待，证明了希山慕丁滥用权力、双重标准、善于欺负人的懦弱战术，也考验他是否适合出任内政部长这个职位。 林冠英 |
| Posted: 07 Sep 2012 03:11 AM PDT Malaysia's drop in the Global Competitiveness Index 2012-2013 to 25th spot from 21st last year is not only simply a failure of the Prime Minister Dato Seri Najib Tun Razak's Economic Transformation Programme(ETP) but also a failure in technological readiness, fighting crime and building human capital formation. In Jakarta, the City Mayor has just announced free wifi would be available on main roads and highways. As digital intelligence is of critical importance in the internet connected world, providing free wifi in public places would provide a much needed boost. There is no reason why free wifi in public places can not be done throughout Malaysia, if it can be implemented in Penang Or is Malaysia going to be behind not just Jakarta but also Indonesia eventually? Regarding Malaysia's technological readiness, the report notes three areas that require improvement, namely: international internet bandwidth in kilobits per second per user (ranked 83rd), broadband internet subscriptions per 100 population (68th) and mobile broadband subscriptions per 100 population (64th). This contributes to the low The common perception of an increase in crime negatively impacted Malaysia’s ranking with a drop in the rankings related to crime such as the business cost of crime and violence; organised crime; and reliability of police services. Clearly the drop in crime index poses many questions about the reliability in the compilation of statistics The Global Competitiveness Report shows not only the general public but even investors and international community do not feel as safe as they would like in Malaysia. The time has come for both the Home Ministry and the police to stop being in denial but focus solely on fighting crime instead of allowing the police to be used as a tool to serve the political interests of BN against the legitimate opposition PR in Malaysia. The Report also identified inefficient government bureaucracy, corruption, an inadequately educated workforce, poor work ethics in the labour force and restrictive labour regulations as the top five problems faced when doing business in Malaysia. Unless Malaysia succeeds in stopping the ruinous exchange of human talent with unskilled foreign workers, Malaysia's hopes to escape the middle-income trap and join the ranks of high-income economies will remain a pipe dream. Perhaps Malaysia should not just learn from Jakarta, but also China which attracts back its human talent from USA by paying them comparable salary rates, provide housing accomodation and most important of all opportunities of career advancement. With 2 million Malaysian leaving the country since 1957, Talent Corp would not only fail to attract them back but would see more Malaysians leaving unless more incentives can be given. —Mandarin Version —- 民主行动党秘书长兼峇眼区国会议员林冠英于2012年9月6日 在吉隆坡发表声明： 马来西亚的全球竞争力下滑，不只是因为首相经济转型计划的失败，也是科技就绪度、打击罪案及打造人力资源的失败。 马来西亚的全球竞争力下滑，不只是因为首相经济转型计划的失败，也是科技准备、打击罪案及人力资源栽培政策的失败。 雅加达市长最近宣布他们将在主要公路及高速公路提供免费无线上网。数码智慧的网络通讯时代是非常重要的，在公共场所提供免费无线上网非常受落。如果槟州做得到，我们不明白为何政府不能全马各地公共场所提供免费无线上网？还是马来西亚不只会落后雅加达，甚至是印尼？ 有关马来西亚的科技就绪度，报告中指出三个需要改善之处：国际宽频每个用户、每秒千位元排名第83；每百名人口的固定宽频订户率排名第68，以及流通宽频网络订户排名第64名。尽管我们一直在极力推广科技资讯工艺，这些都是科技就绪率低的原因。 我国的罪案率一直被公认为有增无减，在报告中，与商业、暴力、组织性及警方可靠性有关的罪案排位下降。很明显地，罪案指数下滑不禁让人怀疑，有关数据统计是否可靠？毕竟公众安全问题不是由数据决定，最终是人民是否觉得有安全感。 全球竞争力报告显示的是公众的意见。但是就连投资者及国际社群也觉得在马来西亚不安全。内政部长及警方应该集中精力打击罪案，而不是把警方当成对付我国合法在野党的政治工具。 报告也指出在马来西亚经商面对的五大问题，包括：政府官僚低效率、贪污、不恰当的劳动力、工人恶劣的工作态度及有限的劳工条例。除非马来西亚停止"输出人才、输入无技能外劳"的做法，否则要我国逃脱中等收入陷阱、成为高收入经济体将永远成为遥不可及的梦想。 或许马来西亚不只应该向雅加达学习，也应该向中国学习，他们把美国的中国人才召回国后，支付他们与美国同等的薪水、提供住房以及良好的职业前景。而我们自1957年200万人口移民后，除非人才机构愿意提供更多奖掖，否则我们不仅无法吸引人才回流，还会看到更多人才离开。 林冠英 |
