Pahang Voters Must Punish BN For Breaking Its Promises of Building An Independent Chinese School In Kuantan, Protecting The People’s Health In The Lynas Rare Earth Plant In Kuantan and The Use of Cyanide By The Raub Australian Gold Mining Sdn Bhd (RAGM) In Bukit Koman Before The General Elections.

Speech By Penang Chief Minister and DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng At The DAP Pahang State Annual Convention In Raub On 9.9.2012.

Pahang must punish BN for breakin gits promises of building an independent Chinese school in Kuantan, protecting the people's health in the Lynas Rare Earth Plant in Kuantan and the use of cyanide by the Raub Australian Gold Mining Sdn Bhd(RAGM) in Bukit Koman before the general elections.

In Johor the Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC) project is causing grave problems to the villagers, including eight old Chinese cemeteries. In Pahang, the problem is even more acute as a result of a powerful BN that has become arrogant and forgot to listen to the people.

How arrogant BN is that BN can promise to permit an independent Chinese school to be built and then issue a permit for a national secondary school that does not mention using Mandarin as a medium of instruction. Clearly BN is so confident of winning Pahang again that it can openly lie and mislead Pahang voters.

The voters have given their support in vain for their MCA elected representatives who are Cabinet Ministers in their areas. Being a Cabinet Minister does not give one the right to betray their voters interests and break their promises for the benefit of the few at the expense of ordinary people of Pahang.

What is the use of having a Minister that spends more time travelling overseas than resolving the problems in her constituency? What is the point of having a Health Minister that supports the establishment of Lynas rare earth plant abnd RAGM that harms our health.

BN has failed to protect the people's health by allowing RAGM to continue in Raub despite the toxic harm caused by cyanide and also issued a 2 year temporary operating license(TOL) for the Lynas rare earth plant. The Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB) said Lynas’ commitment to ship out all of its Water Leach Purification (WLP) wastes from its rare earths processing plant in Gebeng, Kuantan, is non-binding on its temporary operating licence (TOL).

If it was non-binding and not even a condition of the license what guarantees are there that it would comply with shipping out the radioactive wastes. In other words the AELB can not withdraw the TOL if the wastes are not shipped out of Malaysia as it is not even a condition of the license. There are genuine fears that one of the 2 nuclear reactors proposed by BN may even be built in Pahang.

The time has come to elect a people-centric government that listens to the people, do the people's work and gives hope to the people. DAP would listen to the people by ensuring that PR close down both the Lynas rare earth plant in Kuantan and the RAGM in Raub as well as approve a Chinese independent school in Kuantan and give yearly allocation to all schools as in Penang and Selangor.

DAP would do the people's work by adopting a people-centric land policy that gives automatic renewal of land leases that expire with a 90% discount of land premium. Landowners would be able to renew their lease by only paying 10%.

DAP would ensure that PR gives hope to the people by adopting CAT governance of competency, accountability and transparency to end the decade long Budget deficits in Pahang and reduce its debts. In Penang, our anti-corruption policies have allowed Penang to record not only budget surpluses but also reduced our debt by 95% from RM630 million at 3.8.2008 to RM30 million at 31.12.2011

槟州首席部长兼民主行动党秘书长林冠英于2012年9月9日在彭亨州民主行动党州劳勿举办州常年代表大会上发表演讲：

彭亨州选民必须惩罚国阵，他们违背各种承诺，没有在关丹兴建独中、 批准莱纳斯稀土厂设立、批准澳洲金矿公司在劳勿使用山埃采金，危害人民健康。

彭亨州选民必须惩罚国阵，他们违背各种承诺，没有在关丹兴建独中、 批准莱纳斯稀土厂设立、批准澳洲金矿公司在劳勿使用山埃采金，危害人民健康。

在柔佛，边佳兰石化工业综合发展计划严重影响当地村民，包括八个华人义山。彭亨州的问题更加严重，这是因为国阵权力太大，变得越来越自大、不愿听人民的话。

国阵甚至自大到他们可以先答应发出准证兴建独中，可以有关准证是用来兴建国中，而且没有提到中文为教学媒介语。很明显地，国阵非常有信心可以再一次赢得彭亨州，所以他们敢敢讲骗话，误导彭亨州选民。

选民支持当地马华议员、内阁部长也没有用了。身为内阁部长，他们没有权利背叛选民的利益，为了几个人的利益，违背诺言，牺牲彭亨州人民的利益。

支持一个花更多时间在国外旅游而不解决选区议题的部长有什么用？我们为什么还有一个支持稀土厂和山埃采金的卫生部长？这些工业危害人民健康。

国阵不顾人民死活，继续让澳洲金矿公司在劳勿进行山埃采金、也发出2年的临时执照给莱纳斯稀土厂。原子能执照局到今天都还没有获得莱纳斯说明，他们将把格宾稀土提炼厂的水沥滤净化固体废料运到哪一个国家。如果没有任何国家愿意接受他们的废料，莱纳斯的保证是空谈、没有意义的。由于彭亨已经批准了那么多危害环境的有毒工业，我们有理由担心国阵政府所建议的两座核能发电厂可能会建在彭亨州。

是时候选民一个民本政府，这个政府将是听人民的话、做人民的事、给人民希望。行动党将会听人民的话，确保民联执政后关闭莱纳斯稀土厂及劳勿山埃采金、阻止核能发电厂、批准关丹独中，像槟州、雪州那样，每年制度化拨款给全部学校。

行动党会采纳以民为本的土地政策，让地契自动更新，地价折扣90%。园丘、甘榜及新村的地主只需要缴付10%地税就可以更新地契，像槟城那样。

行动党会保证民联给人民希望，打造肃贪的廉洁政府，秉持能干、公信及透明的良好施政。良好施政可以终结彭亨州几十年的赤字预算、减少债务。在槟城，我们的反贪政策让槟城不只有预算盈余，还将我们的债务减少95%，从2008年3月8日的6亿3000万令吉减少至2011年12月31日3000万令吉。

Chow Kon Yeow Will Head A Special EXCO Comittee To Probe In Cheap Land Sales Of At Least 4,000 Acres Of State Land By The Previous BN State Government.(en/cn)

Posted: 08 Sep 2012 09:01 PM PDT

The Penang State EXCO at is meeting on 7.9.2012 has decided a Special EXCO Committee on Cheap Land Sales of at least 4,000 acres of State Land by the previous state government. Penang State EXCO member for Local Government and Traffic Management will head this special EXCO committee and all government departments especially Land Office, the two local governments and Penang Development Corporation are directed to give full co-operation to Chow.

Cheap land sales or even land given for free by BN government came into focus when BN highlighted the PR state government's sale by open competitive tender of the 1.1 acre piece of land in Taman Manggis for a private hospital project to promote medical tourism in Penang. Not just BN but Gerakan has lost all honour and credibility when BN Penang Chairman Teng Chang Yeow can not prove his claims that four of my EXCO members, my political secretary and myself had personal interest in the hospital project. And why did BN never announced to the press until now that the 1.1 acre piece was reserved for public housing in 2003 nor build from 2003-8, especially when the so-called public housing project was also not marked in the layout plans?

BN has clearly run out of political capital when it resorted to not only attacking members of my family but also my landlady. As the Taman Manggis land is by open tender, anyone can bid. Even my landlady or BN cronies can also bid and will be awarded if they pay the highest price. Why drag my landlady when she or her company did not even bid for the 1.1 acre piece of land?

For Koh Tsu Koon or Teng to say that he does not have government documents is dishonest when BN can produce alleged documents of Taman Manggis in 1993. Chow Kon Yeow would look into the more than 4,000 acres of state land or identify even more land that were sold cheaply or without open competitive tender such as:-

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) 80 acres of prime land in Pulau Jerejak was sold to Urban Development Authority(UDA) without open tender on 15 January 2001 for a lease period of 60 years at only RM 3.72 per square feet.
e) 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.
f) 18.7 acres land in Midlands Court and over 4 acres in Prangin Mall was sold by tender but not to the highest bidder. Instead for both sites, the 2nd highest bidder was selected.
g) 500 acres of reclaimed land awarded without open tender for the Penang Outer Ring Road(PORR) project

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? Selling state land cheaply 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.

槟州首席部长林冠英于2012年9月9日在光大乔治市发表声明：

曹观友将率领一支特别行政议员委员会，调查前朝国阵政府廉价出售4000英亩的州政府土地。

槟州行政议员于2012年9月7日的行政议会上决定，成立一支特别行政议员委员会，以调查前国阵政府廉价出售4000英亩的州政府土地。这个委员
会以槟州地方政府及交通管理委员会主席为首，所有政府部门特别是土地局、两个地方政府及槟州发展机构受指示，全面配合曹观友。

国阵政府廉价售地、甚至免费赠地最近成为焦点，他们突出了民联州政府通过公开招标，出售山竹园1.1英亩地段来发展槟州的医疗旅游。当国阵主席邓章耀无法证明槟州四名行政议员、我的政治秘书以及我本身，在有关私人医院计划涉及私人利益，不只是国阵，就连民政党已经名誉扫地。为何国阵没有在2003 年公布上述1.1英亩地段已经保留为组屋兴建计划？为何国阵在2003年至2008年没有启动工程完成计划，也没有记录在槟岛市政局的发展蓝图内？

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。我的女屋主或她的公司根本没有参与上述1.1英亩地段的竞标，为什么要把她拖下水？

国阵既然可以拿出1993年山竹园的文件，那么许子根或邓章耀说他们没有政府文件，这是不诚实的。曹观友会调查上述廉价出售或未经公开招价售出的4000英亩甚至更多的州政府土地，例如：

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) 木蔻山80英亩的土地于2001年1月15日在没有公开招标的情况下以每平方尺3令吉72仙，出售给城市区发展机构（UDA），租凭期为60年。
e) 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。
f) 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。
g) 在没有公开招标的情况下，将500英亩填海地合约颁给槟州外环公路计划。

最后，如果国阵有诚意兴建廉价屋，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。

The 2 Year Temporary Operating License(TOL) To Lynas Rare Earth Plant Leaves Malaysians No Choice But To Choose Health And Public Safety Over Profits And 2 Nuclear Reactors By Replacing The BN With A PR Government. (en/cn)

Posted: 08 Sep 2012 08:51 PM PDT

The Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB) announcement of a temporary operating licence (TOL) by Lynas (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, effective for a two-year period from Sept 3 this year, shows that the only alternative left to close down the Lynas plant is to replace BN. The AELB's assurances that Lynas had made a commitment to remove from Malaysia the Water Leach Purification residue arising from the Lynas Advanced Materials Plant (Lamp) project, is an empty meaningless one when Lynas has refused to state where or which country the residue would be going to.

Further such removal of toxic or radioactive residue contravenes international covenants of its removal from one country to another, such as the Basel Convention, unless it is returned to its source. Returning to its source is impossible when Australia has declared that it would not accept back the rare earth residue mined from Western Australia. Where then would Lynas to find a country willing to accept millions of tonnes of its waste unless of course it is the the backyard of the homes of BN Ministers?

Clearly DAP took the correct decision in asking PR to boycott the Parliamentary Select Committee set up by BN in March 20 this year on Lynas as it would merely whitewash and reinforce the claim by the BN government that a TOL should be issued as all safety concerns and standards has been satisfied with. MCA and Gerakan has once again shown they are mere puppets and lackeys of UMNO by only parroting blindly what UMNO said.

By failing to listen to the concerns of the people, BN highlights the contrasting environmental approaches between PR that wants the Lynas closed down. BN has still not explained why Lynas enjoys a 12-year tax holiday for building a plant that threatens our health when Lynas should be paying a penalty tax instead?

That the BN Government has no hesitation to issue the TOL to Lynas even before the general elections showing its committment towards Lynas and profits over the people's health. Clearly should BN win, Lynas would operate fully without any restrictions followed by the building of 2 nuclear reactors in BN-controlled states. The 2 year Temporary Operating License(TOL) to Lynas Rare Earth Plant leaves Malaysians no choice but to choose health and public safety over profits and 2 nuclear reactors by replacing the BN with a PR government.

民主行动党秘书长兼峇眼区国会议员林冠英于2012年9月8日在吉隆坡发表声明：

莱纳斯最终获得为期两年的临时运作执照，让马来西亚人别无选择，通过改朝换代，以争取本身的健康及公共安全，而不是利润及两座核电厂。

原子能执照局宣布发出为期两年的临时运作执照予莱纳斯（马）有限公司，今年9月3日起生效。这显示关闭莱纳斯工厂的唯一办法就是改朝换代。原子能执照局保证说，莱纳斯已经保证把稀土提炼厂所产生的水沥滤净化固体废料输出大马，这是毫无意义的，因为莱纳斯拒绝说明他们会把有关废料运到哪里？哪一个国家？

再说，输出这种有毒或辐射性废料有违国际公约如巴塞尔公约，那就是不能跨国界输送有毒废料，除非是输回到来源地。至于把有毒废料输回澳洲更是不可能，因为澳洲已经宣布他们绝不会把从西澳开采的稀土废料接回国。那么，莱纳斯要去找什么国家接受上千万吨的废料？除非他们准备把废料埋在国阵部长们的家后院。

很明显地，民主行动党在今年3月20日号召民联抵制国阵成立的莱纳斯国会遴选委员会，做了正确的确定， 当时我们认为上述遴委会只是漂白及补充国阵政府的机制，即当局应该在莱纳斯满足所有的安全考量及标准后，发出临时执照。马华及民政再一次证明他们只是巫统的傀儡及应声虫。

国阵不愿意听取民意，显露了国阵与民联的不同，民联要的是关闭莱纳斯。国阵还没有解释为何莱纳斯要兴建的是一座威胁人民健康的工厂，他们不但不需缴付任何惩罚性税务，反而可以享有12年的免税？

国阵政府在全国大选前，不顾反对发出临时执照给莱纳斯，证明他们把莱纳斯及利益摆第一，妄顾人民健康。如果国阵胜利，莱纳斯将可以通畅无阻地运作，国阵也会在国阵州属兴建两座核电厂。莱纳斯最终获得为期两年的临时运作执照，让马来西亚人别无选择，通过改朝换代，以争取本身的健康及公共安全，而不是莱纳斯的利益及两座核电厂。
