Federal Government should not be keeping KIDEX alive as Selangor has given a definitive rejection in February 2015.

Media Statement by Rajiv Rishyakaran, Yeo Bee Yin, Lau Weng San and Ng Sze Han, ADUN for Bukit Gasing, Damansara Utama, Kampung Tunku and Kinrara on Sunday, 29th May 2016

The recent admission1 by Works Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof that Putrajaya is not only considering the Petaling Jaya Dispersal Link (PJD Link) but has also extended the Kinrara Damansara Expressway (Kidex) is unprofessional and unfair on the residents in Petaling Jaya.

After much deliberation, and to much anxiety to the residents in Petaling Jaya, the Selangor government set a definitive dateline of 14th February 2015 for Kidex to meet all the requirements, of which they have failed to do so.


Rightfully so, Menteri Besar Azmin Ali subsequently announced2 that Kidex is cancelled, and that put the rest one and a half year of anxiety by residents of Petaling Jaya. In line with this, Kidex was also not included in the recent amendment exercises to the Petaling Jaya Local Plan.

Putrajaya should not have extended the concession agreement of Kidex in light of the clear no from Selangor. In doing so Putrajaya has shown great disrespect to the Selangor Government and the people of Petaling Jaya.

承認統考文憑只剩下“一里路”還是“億里路”?

雪蘭莪州民主行動黨甘榜東姑區州議員劉永山於2016528日在八打靈再也所發表的文告

  
我促請馬華總會長拿督斯里廖中萊及教育部副部長張盛聞,針對教育部長拿督斯里馬哈基爾在國會的宣布,統考不符國家教育政策的立場給華社和華教界人士做出明確的立場表態。

教育部長馬哈基爾表明,所有在大馬落實的教育制度,必須符合《1996年教育法令所列下的教育政策,即以國語作為主要教學媒介語和采用國家課程綱要与考試,因此統考文憑被視為不符合國家教育政策的需求。

隨着教育部長在國會的正式聲明,是否意味着國陣政府已經正式拒絕承認統考文憑?早在去年11月,高教部副部長拿督葉娟呈也曾表明,聯邦政府的立場不變,不會承認獨中統考資格

身為副教育部長的張盛聞既然早已經掌握該部与部長在國會所要表達明確的政策立場,為何還要說聯邦政府承認統考文憑僅僅剩下最後“一里路”呢?到底這“一里路”是不是變成“億里路”?

“吉隆坡”國際機場應該正名為雪邦國際機場


雪蘭莪州民主行動黨甘榜東姑區州議員劉永山於2016526日在八打靈再也所發表的文告:

我對馬來西亞機場控股有限公司日前計劃推出吉隆坡國際機場航空城(KLIA Aeropolis)的計劃表示關注。據稱這項計劃在未來15年為國內生產總值帶來300億令吉的貢獻,以及製造超過56000個就業機會。






聯邦政府不應該以“吉隆坡”這個字眼來混淆外國人,因為所謂的“吉隆坡國際機場”根本不是位處吉隆坡市內,而是離開吉隆坡超過60公里的雪蘭莪州的雪邦縣。

No more “Kuala Lumpur” International Airport but Sepang International Airport


Media statement by DAP ADUN for Kampung Tunku Lau Weng San on 26th 2016 in Petaling Jaya:

I read with concern the news that Malaysia Airport Holding Berhad (MAHB) is planning to launch Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Aeropolis, which is expected to contribute RM30 billion to the gross domestic product (GDP) and more than 56,000 jobs over the next 15 years.





The authority must not again confuse foreigners with the word “Kuala Lumpur” when the airport and the proposed location of the aeropolis is indeed located in Sepang, some 60km away from Kuala Lumpur.
