马来西亚正陷入‘屋漏偏逢连夜雨’的窘境
吁请全民和政客保持清醒与警惕

正当我国深受新冠肺炎困扰之际,政治领袖们竟然无视疫情对国民安全的威胁和国家经济的压制,竟热衷于搞政治运动,将自身的政治前途置于国民和国家利益之上,令我国遭逢‘屋漏偏逢连夜雨’的窘境,不仅延误了恢复国家经济活力,也令国民健康陷于风险之中。

新冠肺炎疫情传播持续在全球延烧,多个国家已经成了重灾区,而我国这两天来的新冠肺炎新病例也增加了21例,使到累计病例增至50例,而且病例还在持续增加之中。由于病毒是不认肤色和宗教的,不是某族群才会感染,因此政府必须集中精神重点推行抗疫措施,进而搞好经济环境,把着眼点放在人民的健康和生计之上。

新冠肺炎已经拖累了国家经济,而政治动荡无疑是给经济状况雪上加霜。我预见,若没有全力抗疫和妥善的刺激经济措施,我国无法赢回投资者的信心,亦将导致我国社会环境失调,失业率会将激增,就会不断衍生社会,因此,所有政治领袖都必须清楚意识到这一点,保持清醒,真心为国为民付出,别让自己的政见热昏了头脑。

但是为国为民不能单靠口号,我们需要实际的行动,因此,我向首相丹斯里慕尤丁建言,希望他能够放下政治分歧,考虑组织一个跨政党、跨政治理念的团结政府,以及吸纳无当派专才加入内阁。

在这个非常时期,各政党应该真正体现他们的爱国之情,放下政治包袱与其他政党包括政敌携手合作,避免我国再度陷入另一轮的政治纠纷,才能共同守护我们所热爱的国家。

我认为,非常时期采取非常手段是必要的,尤其是首相本身强调要组织一个干净、清廉的政府,所以,我认为一个大团结政府将给首相提供一个更大的发挥空间,也可以藉此证明他是一位全民领袖。入阁者必须为政府政策执行负责,而没入阁的议员则可以扮演监督阁员的角色,确保阁员落实到位,政风清廉。

我相信,各政党加入政府,配上无当派的专业人才,彼此之间可以起了良好的化学作用,有利于打破国家的窘境,把经济拔离深陷的泥泞里。

政府的庞大公务员就如羊群一样,他们是需要有领头者,因此,首相当务之急就是赶快决定组织一个有利于我国抗疫和搞好经济的团队。我国没有本钱再耗下去,一旦等到疫情大爆发,国家经济将回天无力,社会混乱将无可避免。

我认为,当前国家需要的是一个稳定的局势,以便可以安然度过未来的三年时间,让国家有充分的空间恢复社会状况,各政党应暂时放下成见,直到下一届大选彼此才来一较高低。

吁请董教总暂缓华团大集会与政府接头对话


新闻稿 – 请即刻发布

社会爱心基金会主席丹斯里拿督彭茂燊太平局绅

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


29th November 2019.

PRESS STATEMENT BY:-
TAN SRI DATUK ROBERT PHANG MIOW SIN.
JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.
CHAIRMAN – SOCIAL CARE FOUNDATION



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.


24th 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.

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.
