World Environment Day Celebration 2013 in Penang (en/cn)

Press Statement by Chief Minister of Penang and Penang Green Council Chairman, LimGuan Eng at KOMTAR on 12 June 2013:

In conjunction with the World Environment Day every 5 Jun, Penang Green Council (PGC) is organizing the World Environment Day Celebration 2013 on 16th June 2013 (Sunday), at Lebuh Pantai from 8.00 am to 12.00 noon.

The theme for this year's World Environment Day celebrations is Think.Eat.Save. Think.Eat.Save is an anti-food waste and food loss campaign that encourages you to reduce your FOODprint. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), every year 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted. This is equivalent to the same amount produced in the whole of sub-Saharan Africa.

Malaysians are either overeating or wasting food, throwing away up to 930 tonnes of unconsumed food daily. This is equivalent to throwing away 93,000 10kg bags of rice each day.

Wastage of unconsumed food in Malaysia doubled over the past three years. This does not include leftover food. Unconsumed waste mostly consisted of expired bread, eggs and old or rotten fruit.
Peninsular Malaysia alone generated an estimated 25,000 metric tonnes of municipal solid waste daily of which 48% were food waste.

Some 355,000kg of food was thrown away daily in Penang last year. According to the Penang Municipal Council, on the island alone last year, food waste made up about 45% of the 288,377 tonnes of solid waste collected from domestic and commercial areas.

If food is wasted, it means that all the resources and inputs used in the production of all the food are also lost. For example, it takes about 16,000 litres of water goes into a cow's food to make a hamburger. The resulting greenhouse gas emissions from the cows themselves, and throughout the food supply chain, all end up in vain when we waste food. This year's theme – Think.Eat.Save – encourages you to become more aware of the environmental impact of the food choices you make and empowers you to make informed decisions.

On that day, Penang Green Citizens Cardholder can buy a limited edition WED T-shirt at member price RM20 (non-member RM25), we will be distributing special bookmark to advocate the cause. Other highlighted activities during the WED 2013 Celebration includes: School Marching Band performance, Low Carbon Transport (Electric Scooter/Car and Bicycle), Stage Performances, WED Theme Exhibition.

The Penang State Government has also taken the lead by requiring all government purchases be given priority to green products. Hopefully this new policy, such as using recycled paper for name cards, will help the green industry.

槟州首席部长兼槟州绿色机构主席林冠英于2013年6月12日在光大发表声明:

2013年世界环境日庆典

配合每年6月5日的世界环境日,槟州绿色机构将于2013年6月16日(星期日)早上8时至12时在土库街举行世界环境日庆典。

今年世界环境日的主题是"思前.食后.厉行节约"。这是一项反对食物浪费的世界性运动以减少耗粮足迹。根据联合国粮食及农业组织,每一年人类共浪费13亿吨粮食,相等于非洲地区所生产的粮食总量。

马来西亚人经常吃太多或浪费太多未食用过的食物,每天丢弃高达930吨的食物。这相等于每天丢弃9万3000包10公斤的米。

马来西亚人过去三年浪费的食物已经超过一倍,这还不包括食物残渣。未食用的食物包括过期面色、鸡蛋或腐烂的水果。

西马地区每天制造2万5000公吨的家庭垃圾,其中48%是食物废料。

去年槟城每天丢弃35万5000公斤的食物。单单是槟岛市政局,住宅区和商业区丢弃了28万8377吨的固体垃圾,其中45%为食物残渣。

浪费食物意味着所有用于生产食物的资源也一并被浪费。例如:我们耗费1万6000公升的水来养牛以生产汉堡包。这也导致牛只排放温室气体,在我们浪费食物的同时, 我们的食物供应链也全都浪费。今年的世界环境日主题鼓励大家进一步了解在选择食物的同时,对环境有什么影响,并让你做出决定。

在庆典当天,槟州绿色公民可以会员价20令吉购买我们印制的限量版T-恤 (非会员25令吉),我们也将派发特别制做的书签。其它活动包括学校乐队表演、低碳交通、舞台表演、手绘艺术、主题资料展等等。

槟州政府也已经以身作则,要求所有的政府采购都必须优先考虑绿色产品,例如使用再循环材料的名片。我们希望这项措施能带动绿色工业。

To Be An Effective Minister With Integrity, Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor Must Come Clean On His Role In The V.K. Lingam Judicial Appointments Scandal (en/cn)

Posted: 12 Jun 2013 12:58 AM PDT

Press Statement by the DAP Secretary-General and MP for Bagan Lim Guan Eng in Kuala Lumpur on 12 June 2013:

To Be An Effective Minister With Integrity, Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor Must Come Clean On His Role In The V.K. Lingam Judicial Appointments Scandal Where He Was Found By The Royal Commission of Inquiry to Have Conspired with Datuk VK Lingam and Tan Sri Vincent Tan to Subvert the Federal Constitution by Fixing the Appointment of Judges

Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor, having been found by a Royal Commission of Inquiry to have conspired with Datuk VK Lingam and Tan Sri Vincent Tan to subvert the Federal Constitution by fixing the appointment of judges must come clean of his role in conspiring with Lingam.

In September 2007, Malaysians were stunned by the release of an eight-minute recording of Datuk VK Lingam engaging in a telephone conversation with a senior judge, detailing a dishonest conspiracy to fix the appointment of senior judges in the Malaysian judiciary. In that eight-minute recording, the name of Tengku Adnan was mentioned no fewer than eleven times.

After lengthy hearings, the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into the scandal, headed by former Chief Judge of Malaya Tan Sri Haidar Mohd Noor, handed down its findings in May 2008. It held that VK Lingam, Tan Sri Vincent Tan and Tengku Adnan were all accomplices in a "nefarious exercise" to thwart the proper appointment of judges in accordance with the Federal Constitution.

The RCI found that the conspirators (including others such as Tun Eusoff Chin) had also schemed to ensure their "friends" were appointed to the judiciary. The RCI also found that Tengku Adnan, as Deputy Minister and later Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, appeared to be the "fixer" within the Prime Minister's Department who passed secret information relating to the appointment of judges to VK Lingam, in apparent breach of the Official Secrets Act 1972.

In response to Tengku Adnan's denial of involvement, the RCI found that Tengku Adnan had in his sworn testimony been "too economical with the truth to be believed". It held that Tengku Adnan had "not in the least degree" succeeded in disassociating himself from the video clip in which his name was mentioned eleven times.

The RCI also drew attention to the fact that Tengku Adnan had, as a Deputy Minister and Minister, sworn a solemn oath to "protect, preserve and defend" the Constitution of Malaysia, but had instead involved himself in a conspiracy to destroy the credibility of the institution of justice in Malaysia.

The RCI recommended that the VK Lingam and his conspirators be investigated by the Attorney General under the Penal Code, the Sedition Act 1948, the Legal Profession Act 1976 and the Official Secrets Act 1972, but until no action has been taken against those responsible.

It is clear that despite all that the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak may claim, Malaysia cannot move on from the corruption and abuses of power of the Mahathir era while men such as Tengku Adnan who are implicated in some of the worst abuses of that time are appointed to high ministerial positions by Datuk Seri Najib. Tengku Adnan fully account for his role in the V.K. Lingam as a Malaysian Cabinet Minister must not only be clean but must also be seen to be clean.

民主行动党秘书长及峇眼国会议员林冠英于2013年6月12日在吉隆坡发表的文告

要成为一位廉洁兼有效率的部长,拿督斯里东姑安南必须出来说明有关于他在林甘司法委任丑闻一案中被皇委会发现与拿督林甘及丹斯里陈志远共谋,违宪操纵委任法官。

拿督斯里东姑安南必须出来说明有关于他在林甘司法委任丑闻一案中被皇委会发现与拿督林甘及丹斯里陈志远共谋,违宪操纵委任法官。

在2007年9月,马来西亚人为那长达八分钟的林甘案录影感到震惊,录影中林甘透过电话与资深法官通话,详细的道出如何以肮脏阴谋操纵资深法官,干预大马司法。在这八分钟短片中,

东姑安南的名字被提及了不下11次。

在听证会后,以马来亚前首席大法官丹斯里海达为首的皇委会在2008年5月有了结果。皇委会显示林甘、陈志远及东姑安南共谋着"邪恶的行为",阻扰根据宪法的法官委任程序。

皇委会发现这群阴谋策划者(包括敦尤索夫晋)也策划让他们的朋友获得委任成为法官。皇委会也发现东姑安南作为副部长及尔后的首相署部长,竟然是首相署当中将委任法官的机密,通风报信给林甘的人,违反了1972年的机密法令。

对于东姑安南否认牵涉其中,皇委会发现东姑安南宣誓后的供词"简单得太过让人难以相信",皇委会也认为东姑安南"连最小程度"也不可能置身事外,因为短片中他的名字被提了11次。

皇委会也提醒东姑安南作为副部长及部长,是曾经宣誓"保护、维护及捍卫"马来西亚宪法,但是他却反过来以阴谋摧毁了马来西亚司法制度的公信。

皇委会建议林甘及其同谋应在刑事法典、1948年煽动法令、1976年法律专业法令及1972年官方机密法令下,由总检察长展开调查。但是截至目前为止,并未见当局展开任何行动对付有关的负责任单位。

很明显的,尽管首相拿督斯里纳吉称:马来西亚不能够再以敦马哈迪年代的贪污及滥权方向向前迈进,但是同一个时候,像东姑安南这种在那个时代牵涉到最严重侵权事件的人,却也被纳吉委任为高职位的内阁部长。作为需为VK 林甘事件负起全责的内阁部长东姑安南,他不只需要廉洁,也必需看起来是廉洁的。
