吁请董教总暂缓华团大集会与政府接头对话

华文及淡米尔文小学爪夷文课题已触动民族间的敏感神经，并已近乎进入对峙的阶段，只差还没进入剑拔弩张的状况，因此各方都应该保持谨慎，为免爆发实质的冲突，或避免有心人趁机利用这局势捞取政治资本，将社会和国家推向更困难的局面。

身为一位关心社会和谐的人士，我在此吁请董教总暂缓他们的集会，寻求与政府接头对话，寻求更理性的解决方案。

我相信，政府不会高傲的态度把董教总拒于门外，如果需要的话，我也希望能够出一份绵力，尽力协助撮合这次的对话，以达到双赢的局面，维持社会的和谐。

如果我们冷静观察事态的发展，也不难发现有许多组织，包括政治利益团体正蠢蠢欲动，伺机借助这个大集会捞取政治利益，一旦政治利益团体得势，发动任何反种族行动或反教育政策活动，都不会给任何族群带来好处，反而会让整个国家陷入囧境。

目前国家迫切需要的是搞好经济，因此政府需要把精神集中于搞好经济增长，解决民生的问题。

我认为，教育问题宜用温和的对话方式解决。我们固然有反对的权力，但并不是不顾一切的搞群众对抗，使到整个局面无法挽回。

我要强调的是，暂缓并不是退缩，而是经过审时度势，掌握时势与状况的变化，采取了适当的策略。#

IN RESPONSE TO AG TAN SRI TOMMY THOMAS, YOU, YB TAN SRI ANNUAR MUSA APPEARS TO BE KURANG AJAR

Following the write up of yours concerning Chin Peng’s ashes, may I suggest that since you have so many questions on this issue and for you to learn more of the history of Chin Peng, I boldly suggest that you should do your utmost best to collect the information, positively and negatively so that you can have a proper account of what Chin Peng deed and who were his true enemies.

To the best of my knowledge of everything Chin Peng’s greatest credit was to form the Communist Party of Malaysia (CPM), who launched guerilla warfare against the Japanese Army during the Japanese occupation of Malaysia.  Is that not a credit to Malaysia? I may be wrong but you are a politician, this time air it out based on facts, no guessing facts – no tembak, tembak.

Our Paramount Statesmen, none other than our beloved YAB PM Tun Mahathir has already said that this episode of Chin Peng, ever since he died, everything should be put to rest at that.  YAB PM Tun Mahathir is a great statesman of Malaysian history.  Thank You, YAB PM Tun Mahathir for cemented such a historic statement.  Definitely, this will go down in the history books of Malaysia.

YB Tan Sri Annuar Musa, my suggestion is for you to get engaged with AG Tan Sri Tommy Thomas.  My word of advice, please base your allegations on actual facts or you are liable to be sued by AG’s office.  Speak the truth based on facts or otherwise SHUT UP.  In the meanwhile, if there is the slightest offence such as Defamation of Character, I strongly suggest AG to take up and charge YB Tan Sri Annuar Musa under Defamation Act so as to teach people of this caliber to speak the truth. The Rakyat is behind you, AG Tan Sri Tommy Thomas. 

Meanwhile, YBhg Tan Sri Annuar Musa, please have the guts to apologize to AG Tan Sri Tommy Thomas, who is a good and capable AG, the Rakyat like him.  Do not ruin the Government under our beloved YAB PM Tun Mahathir.

REF: YB RONNIE LIU – YB TUAN ANTHONY LOKE, MINISTER OF TRANSPORT, YOU HAVE OVERKILLED THE ISSUE.

24^th OCTOBER 2019

PRESS STATEMENT BY:-

TAN SRI DATUK ROBERT PHANG MIOW SIN.

JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.

CHAIRMAN – SOCIAL CARE FOUNDATION

It is really strange to note a practical statement made by YB Ronnie Liu, his opinion and comments on the leader of the country has been construed as discourteous and damaging.

Following the principles and wisdom of our Divine Rules of Democracy, that no man is an island, when you are a Public Servant, you will be bound to criticisms on the performance.

I hold my humble view that YB Ronnie Liu has shown his true commitments to practice and reflect his divine performance as a truly elected representative of the Rakyat. 

Why punish him? Do you want all people to be “YES-MEN” within the Pakatan Harapan?  Surely DAPs have their set of rules as they are also elected by the Rakyat. 

YB Tuan Anthony Loke, you have overkilled this issue.  In the first place, it is not necessary for YB to issue such a statement that YB Ronnie will be referred to DAP’s Disciplinary Committee. 

If YB has to do it, do it by all means as this is a “family squabble’.  Always remember, an elected Member of Parliament, the fundamental principle of the natural justice, the right to speak and to reflect the people’s plight etc. should always be welcome. 

Do not overkill the Divine Fundamental Principle.  By doing so it will reflect as if DAP is practising that there is no democracy in the DAP constitution.  

The Rakyat will feel that YB Ronnie Liu  being referred to the party’s disciplinary committee is a means of trying to threaten all Members of Parliament and other duly elected leader to become mere “PUPPETS” – ONLY SHOUT WHEN YOU ARE TOLD TO DO SO.

This is not the way we want to live in.  Directly and Indirectly YB Anthony, you are making YB Ronnie a “HERO”.  I think the majority of the Rakyat will stand behind YB Ronnie, to speak out.  A lot of us are monitoring the situation closely.

YB Ronnie Liu, I will continue to pray and support you.

“HUMBLENESS IS A GOOD VIRTUE, ARROGANCE SHALL FALL AND THE MEEK WILL RULE THE WORLD”.

Penang to start building RM851m island highway project on Oct 31

GEORGE TOWN, Oct 11 — Construction of the much talked about RM851 million highway linking Thean Teik Expressway to the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway here will begin on October 31 with a groundbreaking ceremony, Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow announced today.

He said the project will take three years to complete.

“Once they start work on the highway, which is package two of the whole project, we can now work on the processes to implement package one, three and four,” he told a press conference at his office.

The highway is part of the RM6.3 billion project which consists of an undersea tunnel and three paired road packages.

Package one is a paired road between Tanjung Bungah and Teluk Bahang, package two is a highway linking Gurney Drive to the Central Business District in George Town to the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway while the final package is the undersea tunnel linking Gurney Drive to Butterworth on the mainland.

The Penang government signed a preliminary agreement with Consortium Zenith Construction Sdn Bhd (CZC) in 2013 after calling for an open tender for the project.

Today, the state government signed a sub-agreement with CZC for the construction of package two.

Chow said package two, covering 5.7km, will connect the Ayer Itam portion of Thean Teik Expressway to the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway near the Marine Department.

He said 70 per cent of the highway will be elevated.

“The total cost of the project is RM851,040,000 and will be implemented on a lump sum contract basis,” he said.

He also said two plots of land had already been transferred to CZC for feasibility studies to be conducted and detailed design works of the undersea tunnel and highways.

“With this agreement, the state will wait for a claim by the consortium before the land from Gurney Drive reclamation will be ready to be transferred to the consortium,” he said.

Chow added that the first part of the claim is in relation to the land acquisition costs for the project.

CZC is still in the process of negotiating land acquisitions and could not reveal the total costs involved just yet.

Chow said a portion of Gurney Wharf has been identified for consideration as payment for the highway construction.

The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the highways was approved on November 7 in 2017.

Chow said the highway project has to commence first before the EIA expires which was why the state decided that package two must commence by the end of this month.

The Penang state exco approved the signing of the sub-agreement for package two on October 2.

Works on package two will start at the Thean Teik Expressway first and it will by-pass housing areas and go across the hill to connect to Bukit Gambir Road, Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah and ending at the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway.

The highway is expected to resolve the daily traffic gridlock along the busy Air Itam Road and cut traveling time for those coming from the Penang Bridge towards Air Itam.

Daim very influential? Well, he’s a consultant, says Dr M

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 17 ― Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today acknowledged his long-time friend and ally Tun Daim Zainuddin as a highly influential person, amid cronyism concerns within Putrajaya.

However, the prime minister said Daim’s role as a government advisor and consultant is astute in both business and politics.

“He does have [influence], well he is a consultant. People need advisers. People with certain knowledge. And he is a man knowledgeable about businesses and politics with lots of experience and when we pay our RM1 trillion government debt, his expertise is useful.

“On the other hand, he has moved around and met people in and out of the country. He would be a good judge of the quality of people we should employ,” said Dr Mahathir said on BFM's the Breakfast Grille show this morning.

Dr Mahathir continued to defend the Daim even when it was pointed out in the interview that many people have observed that any decision concerning government-linked companies will not happen unless it receives the 81-year-old's stamp of approval.

The PM said that Daim's recommendation comes with good reason.

Dr Mahathir also dismissed questions concerning his close relations with certain corporate figures, including Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary, saying he meets “a lot” of people and that not all of them were apple polishers.

“It's not just Al-Bukhary. A lot of others meet me. They talk to me and criticise me. It's not just the Malays but the Chinese and Indians too,” he said.

吁请华总选举参选方停止利用他名誉进行选举活动

呼吁朝野政党别一直仇视华裔的诉求

呼吁朝野政党别一直仇视华裔的诉求

再过十天，就是我国庆祝独立62周年的时刻。在国家庆祝独立62周年之际，不禁令人反思，为何我国民族大团结之路如此艰辛。

华裔已经在这个国家生活数代，甚至有者在此间生活的时间还比一些土著久远，并且为这个国家发展作出巨大贡献，但他们却被视为政治标靶，成为被针对的对象。华裔的诉求就一直被一些政治人物当着是一把叛逆刺耳的声音，也被视为专找政府麻烦的始作俑者。

华裔深耕几代人，相当清楚当前的状况，他们所发出的诉求，只是对自己权益的一种捍卫，从未逾越界限侵犯友族的利益及破坏民族大团结，但很遗憾华裔的诉求却一直被政治人物视为挑衅行为，被别有用心之人作为了政治攻击对象和牺牲品。

华裔从不是一个好勇斗狠的民族，我们和全世界的人都同样重视珍惜和平。华人追求的是安居乐业，渴望传承自己的习俗，发扬自己的文化，我们在遵纪守法的前提下，同时包容及尊重各民族风俗及文化，如此和平友爱的希望，从未损害友族的丝毫利益，反而可以助益国家的多元发展。

我希望在国家迎接第62个独立日之际，大家能够在国家宪法之下，充分尊重及包容各民族的特点和民族的差异。当然也不能忽视各民族，各阶层的经济差距及矛盾，并切实保障所有人的平等权益。

政府也应正视实质的经济差距，即经济差距或贫穷都存在于各族之间，而且也不仅限于某些种族，厚德载物，方为上上策，只要政府以这样的胸襟看问题，我国将可以减少许多不必要的纠纷，并一定会在实质的教育、经济和文化发展取得重大成就。

我希望政府和在野政治集团也应该正视国家的问题症结，并把更多精力投入教育和经济发展，而不一直在种族和宗教课题上打转，否则，最终大家将迷失方向和意志。

Introduce integrity subject in public sector training: Lee Lam Thye

KUALA LUMPUR: A new subject on integrity needs to be included in the training programmes or education modules for civil servants as part of efforts to fight corruption, according to Malaysia Crime Prevention Foundation senior vice-chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.

He said it should also be part of courses conducted by the National Institute of Public Administration (Intan).

At the same time, he said, the government should introduce a new curriculum in schools to enable students to learn about the negative effects of corruption and why it is unacceptable.

“The timing is right because pure values and integrity should be instilled among the younger generation when they are in school.

This can help develop a culture of honesty and trust in future leaders,” he said in a statement today.

Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Latheefaa Koya was reported to have said that 46.3% of the 4,860 people detained by the MACC from 2014 to June this year were civil servants.

Anwar does not agree with Zakir Naik's approach to preaching

The actions of independent preacher Dr Zakir Naik, who stirred a hornet's nest about Hindus and Chinese in Malaysia in a lecture, are uncalled for despite his intention to preach, said PKR president Anwar Ibrahim.

"I do not agree with Zakir on this matter. I know he is preaching and there is a lot of good in it, but he should not have touched on racial issues in this country,” he said at a PKR Presidential Tour series yesterday.

Anwar said this when asked about his stand on the controversy involving the preacher.

The Port Dickson MP said Zakir should thank the government for providing protection for him to stay in the country.

Malaysia still far from being out of the woods, says Daim

KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 5): Malaysia is still far from reaching the status of a developed country with unified citizens that is ready to face the industrial challenges of the future, says Council of Eminent Persons (CEP) chairman Tun Daim Zainuddin.

Daim said Malaysia is still playing catch up with the fourth industrial revolution when other countries are already gearing for the supposed fifth industrial revolution.

"Let us not be under any illusions. We are still far from being out of the woods. We are far from being ready for the changes happening around us.

"We are far from being a united people. We are far from being able to compete at the global level. We are far from being able to embrace differences and changes.

"And underpinning all of this unpreparedness is education," he said at the launch of the International Conference on Emerging Issues in Public Policy at Universiti Malaya's Institute of Public Policy and Management.

The former finance minister pointed out that education is the key to prepare the youth for the future. However, he said the education ministry has failed to prioritise the right issues to tackle, which has hindered the progress of reforms within the national education policy.

"We are still arguing over whether we should teach Maths and Science in English, when the rest of the world has embarked on advanced curriculums that focus on Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR4) so as to make their youth more competitive and relevant in a world that is going to be dominated by artificial intelligence and robotics," he said.

"To participate in IR4, we must go through a knowledge-based economy and here Malaysia has failed because the government, through the Ministry of Education, has not got its priorities right. The Education Ministry must not fail our nation.

"While we are still mired in the political rhetoric of languages, others around us have moved beyond English or Mandarin or Bahasa Malaysia into the language of programming and coding. When will we realise just how far behind we are and lacking?" Daim added.

In facing the rise of technology in industrialisation, Daim said the government should implement policies that create an environment where people are allowed to maximise their potential and pursue creative pursuits that are complemented by technology, not replaced by it.

The reality is, he said, technology will have the most impact on future employment as robots replace humans in menial tasks. But where one window closes, another opens, he added.

"Fields such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Robotics, Supply Chain Logistics, and Smart Manufacturing need skilled workers and indeed, the World Economic Forum has estimated that 133 million jobs will emerge as technology advances," he said.

At the same time, Daim stressed that education is not just for skills development, but it is also for the soul. He said the values that are instilled in the youth at home and at the school level will greatly impact the type of adults they evolve into.

"We must empower them with the ability to think critically, logically, wisely and to make their own informed decisions, no matter the situation. We must raise a new generation of leaders and great thinkers, not of sheep and cowards," he said.

呼吁教育部长要用大脑推行教育政策

呼吁教育部长要用大脑推行教育政策

最近华社闹得沸沸扬扬的华小爪夷文艺术课，目前还一直在延烧，这现实华社对政府的承诺极度不信任，原因无他，其中的主因是希盟政府对于承认统考竞选宣言出尔反尔，加上教育部长马智礼不断讲出“无厘头”政策，令华社对政府的信任度大打折扣！

当内阁成员说承认统考必须顾及友族的感受，那么，政府在推行爪夷文艺术课之时，却罔顾华社的强烈感受和反对，更推说是前朝所决定，这事件很明显的突出了希盟政府的无心和无能。

如果说前朝所决定的不能推翻，那么之前又可以停止前朝所推行的多项工程？所以，归咎前朝，纯粹是推搪藉口。也因为如此，行动党选举时所说的“希盟大不同”，如今，不攻也自己崩溃！

今天我们看到的一个问题是，当初人们寄以厚望的教育部长马智礼，不但无法推行说好的教育改革，更一直在着眼于枝节末微，诸如白鞋换黑鞋就是经典的一例。

我国独立以来，已经走过六十多个年头了，教育部也不断的要加强华小的马来文课，但效果是否很显著，大家都是有目共睹的，华小学生已经承受了巨大的压力，如今再加上另一个语文，他们是否还受得了？我希望教育部长在推行任何政策时，应该以教育为目的，根据需要和逻辑来制定，而不是拼命把东西塞进小小的脑袋瓜。

随着时代不断地推进，我国需要认真的考虑，到底我们的学校和学生需要掌握什么技能和知识，才能造就我们的这些国家栋梁。教育部长马智礼应该多动动脑筋，脚踏实地去推行教育改革。

华小与淡小爪夷文课，无疑是沾染了浓厚的政治味道，这很明显就是一种民粹政策，旨在讨好某个族群和宗教信仰者，完全没有考虑到学生的实际需要。

我建议，把华小和淡小的爪夷文艺术改为学生的自由选择，教育部长也不妨选修这一课的学生，获得一些学术奖励，激发学生的学习，而不是硬性规定，避免让人感觉强人所难。

我希望希盟政府能够多聆听民意，征召独立贤士，广纳各界的专业意见，淡化政治色彩，让政策更接地气，也避免将敦马哈迪医生团队辛苦打下的天下拱手让人。

吁请希盟政府 “放低政治姿态，专心搞好国策！”

吁请希盟政府 “放低政治姿态，专心搞好国策！”

在内外环境充满不稳定的因素之下，希盟政府应该抓好国策，抓出国家经济的新方向，寻找成长的重点，带领人民走出迷茫。

我理解希盟政府接受国家政权时，面对前朝留下的一箩筐问题，我衷心希望希盟政府面对问题时直接处理掉就好了，不要一直埋怨前朝，人民都知道已经够烂了，大家更希望能够看到新政府开创新的格局。

我认为，希盟政府不要一直围绕着政治课题打转，一会争论首相接班人，一会提倡某某族群大团结，一会宣布某某教徒B40群体才可获得免费升大学等，这些都在走前朝的老路，也和我们心目中的“新马来西亚”概念越走越远。

今天的人民，意识形态相当的混乱，对前景感到极度迷茫，正是急需政府建立正确的道路，抓出新方向，带领全体百姓战胜恐惧，走出迷茫。

每天担忧生活费，担心不确定的就业，忧虑颓靡的经济，都已经成了百姓的生活常态，大家都似乎出现了生存危机，令大家对前途感到极度迷茫。

这种迷茫的感觉并不只限于某个族群，它是全民的真实感受，我希望希盟政府的阁员都能感同身受，加上目前政府所做的，大部份百姓都感受不到，这也都是官爷们所无法体会的。

我也感激首相敦马哈迪医生以94岁高龄仍然为国家运筹帷幄，同时，也赞赏内阁少数表现优异的成员，当中包括交通部长陆兆福，希望他们再接再厉。我衷心希望各位内阁部长能更有条理铺陈政策，面对反对党要一针见血，达致立竿见影的效果，别让自己陷入被动的窘境。##

No select committee so I appoint who I want, says Dr M

PUTRAJAYA: Dr Mahathir Mohamad has again defended his recent unilateral appointment of Latheefa Koya to head the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), saying it was because the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) on Major Public Appointments tasked with approving such appointments is unable to function legally.

He said as such, the ultimate decision rests with him.

“Others can give views, but the prime minister decides,” he told reporters here today.

Mahathir said the select committee can only function once the constitution is amended.

“We don’t have a PSC. We intend to have a PSC, but to do that, we need to change some provisions in the Federal Constitution,” he said, adding that the government needs two-thirds support in the Dewan Rakyat to make the changes.

He was responding to a question on whether the top position in the Malaysian Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) will go through the select committee.

Mahathir today reiterated that he does not need to consult the Cabinet in making major appointments.

“I am not required to consult the Cabinet. I can ask for the opinions of various people, and then I decide on the merits of the case,” he added.

The move to appoint Latheefa drew mixed reactions from political leaders and activists, with many questioning the process bypassing the bi-partisan select committee.

The committee’s mandate is to scrutinise the appointment of public officials. It comprises six other MPs – Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh, Ngeh Koo Ham, Fong Kui Lun, Dr Hasan Bahrom, Ismail Sabri Yaakob and Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man.

It is set to meet this Thursday over the appointment of Latheefa as the MACC chief commissioner.

严厉谴责缺口德者消遣已逝者

最近网上流传一则 “听说有个家翁被扫把星媳妇克死” 这样的贴文，我要大力谴责贴文者！这位贴文的仁兄不但不积口德，为老不尊，已经为社会做了不良示范，所有有良知的社会大众都应给予严厉谴责！

这则贴文出现的时机，加上网友查悉贴文者背景，即贴文者与李家刚入门媳妇杨美盈部长持有不同政治立场，因此，这不禁让人联想到贴文与IOI集团创办人丹斯里李深静离世以及刚娶媳妇有关。

虽然贴文不指名道姓，但对于任何逝者，无论任何社会地位和政治背景，贴文者都不应采取如此轻蔑，存有不良意识，下流卑鄙和陷入神经病态，才会如此亵渎逝者。这类充满歪论和迷信的贴文，对逝者不仅极为不敬，而对于处于哀痛之中的逝者家属则是二度伤害。

我在此呼吁网民们，人人都应该自重和自律，不应该滥用网络和社交媒体的便利，滥用言论自由空间来中伤他人，那是无耻之徒所为，贴文者应该向社会大众道歉。

此外，我本人对丹斯里李深静仙逝致以深切的哀悼，愿他一路走好，并祈请李氏家属节哀保重。

HRC World takes stake in Yong Tai's Encore Melaka company

KUALA LUMPUR: HRC World Plc will take a strategic stake in Yong Tai Bhd 's unit PTS Impression Sdn Bhd which is involved in the development of the tourism stage performance Encore Melaka.

Yong Tai, which is a tourism and cultural related property developer, said on Tuesday PTSI had inked an MoU with HRC Music Plc – a subsidiary of HRC World – to formalise their intention and understanding in relation to the proposed investment by HRC World in PTSI.

Under the MoU, HRC Music will subscribe up to 70% stake in PTSI at a subscription price to be determined later.

HRC World is listed on Nasdaq First North in Copenhagen where it has served as an important growth platform, enabling Nordic and international entrepreneurs to access growth capital to develop and expand their businesses.

HRC World's core activities are providing strategic restaurant management services for restaurant chains across China and other parts of Asia as well as audio-visual content development, management and consultancy services.

Both parties have mutually agreed to negotiate in good faith the details terms and conditions of the proposal with intention to finalise and enter into the relevant definitive agreements within 60 days from the date of the MoU or such other longer period as the parties may mutually agree upon.

Yong Tai CEO Datuk Wira Boo Kuang Loon said HRC World's stake in PTSI demonstrated the latter’s commitment and confidence in Encore Melaka theatre.

“Yong Tai sees the synergistic value from HRC World to jointly operate Encore Melaka theatre as HRC World manages well-known music-centric, themed food and beverage cafes across China and other parts of Asia that strategically promotes live music and bands.

“Their participation would definitely boost Encore Melaka theatre prole across China and other parts of Asia,” he added.

Boo also said the subscription price would not be less than book value of Encore Melaka theatre.

The corporate exercise would enable it to unlock the value of its investment in this iconic theatre.

Encore Melaka is the first international standard indoor theatre in Malaysia with a 360-degree rotating auditorium with a total capacity of approximately 2,000 seats. It is a franchise and the 10thImpression Series and first outside of China, which is a hit among tourists.

The show is the story of Melaka brought to life by approximately 200 local talented performers in colourful period costumes, exuberant stage settings and spectacular lighting and audio effects.

The theatre is within the Impression City development, a RM7bil gross development value cultural tourism properties development in Melaka which will be developed in stages on a 138-acre parcel of land.

Over a longer term, Yong Tai being the master developer of Impression City development will benet from the value created by Encore Melaka theatre collaboration with HRC World.

AN OPEN LETTER TO YB TUAN ANTHONY LOKE ON THE PROPOSAL FOR TINTED CAR WINDOWS.

To the best of my knowledge, this is a spontaneous plan it needs special planning if not further research before implementing as this will inevitably bring the following problems:-

1.    PDRM simply and strongly oppose to this introduction as it will definitely increase crime rate to rise.

2.    Such, we must understand and respect what PDRM has to say.

3.    No only PDRM but anti-crime NGOs must also be included to give their view points on this issue namely Malaysian Crime Prevention Foundation (MCPF) needs to give their opinion on this matter, which will directly or indirectly bring many unnecessary problems to surface.

4.    This is nothing new – why do we need to introduce it? – is there a need to introduce it?

5.    The Ministry of Transport must do a careful precise investigation and study with the Rakyat, which has raised many objections

Well, I know that YB Tuan Anthony Loke is diligent in carrying out his work, sometimes think salient factors may be overlooked.

Over to you, YB Tuan Anthony Loke.
