Defect buildings in Terengganu

-

First a stadium in Terengganu named after the present Yang Dipertuan Agong collapsed and luckily no one was in that particular area on that day. What if a sports event or a function were to be held on that very day? Many people may have lost their lives then.

Then recently another case, this time the Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) building collapsed killing one construction worker. The UMT building is still under construction and the completion is about 75% when the tragedy happened the day before.

We would not know which building in Terengganu will be the next to collapse, but we wish to remind our Terengganu friends to better get ready for another collapse if they want to visit any of the government departments or agencies offices.

What are the causes to all these? One thing is certain! Corruption, corruption and corruption, and no other excuses.

Umno has been ruling Terengganu for decades and these are the results today. The corruption not only tainted the state administration but it also cost the life of its workers in the state.

These collapse of structures (both the stadium and the current UMT building) are the results of irregularities in building specifications and safety features and these are the results of corrupt practices involving the distribution of wang ehsan (compassionate fund) to Umno-Barisan Nasional (BN) cronies.

The facts are very clear.

Among the buildings which have collapsed were Masjid Kampung Puteh, Wakaf Tapai school hall, and Kuala Berang public transport terminal.

EC should ask ROS to register Pakatan quickly

The Election Commission (EC) had recently advised the current opposition pact, Pakatan Rakyat comprising PAS, PKR and DAP, to register their coalition so that they could use their logo in the coming general election. EC deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said the coalition should be registered because the opposition parties were always seen violating regulations of the election campaign, especially on the use of their logo. Datuk Wan Ahmad seems to be overly ignorant and too forgetful on this issue. The EC deputy chairman should ask the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to quickly register the Pakatan instead of calling on Pakatan to register itself. Pakatan Rakyat had earlier send in their formal application to register itself as a coalition of political parties since November 2009 and ROS has yet to register the said entity till today after delaying and creating so many hassles for more than a year. It is not Pakatan who is delaying on its application but it was the ROS who is just...

USM fiasco a shame

-
I read and heard with irritation and felt disgusted with the fiasco committed by the apex status university called Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) which caused untold anguish to the affected students and their parents. If this happened in Japan, the Vice-Chancellor would have done the honourable thing - take full responsibilty and leave, but here in Malaysia, as expected, the blame is shifted here and there, trying to make someone a scapegoat. By the way, would there be any racist or sabotage elements involved? Those who are responsible for this fiasco should be sacked or expelled immediately.

Federal Constitution that Safeguards the Legitimate Rights and Interest of All Malaysians

The provisions of the Federal Constitution are very clear. It confirmed the position of the Malay Rulers, Islam as an official religion of the federation and special position of the Malays and the natives in Sabah and Sarawak whilst recalling that those provisions balance those special positions with safeguards to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the other communities in Malaysia which also includes their right to profess and practice their religions freely without being fear of any threats or being harmed by anybody. The legitimate interests of the non-Malays and non-Muslims would include, amongst others: a) Article 153 (9) says that business or trade cannot be solely reserved only for the Malays, b) Article 3 (1) says that the official religion of the federation is Islam BUT other religions are also allowed to be practiced in peace and harmony in any part of the federation. This means, the other communities too have their fundamental legitimate rights and interest here ...
