Press Statement From the Office of the Opposition Leader

PETALING JAYA, MALAYSIA, 18 SEPTEMBER 2008

Today Pakatan Rakyat leaders have submitted a letter to the Prime Minister requesting him to call an emergency session of Parliament to deliberate a motion of censure against the leadership of YAB Dato’ Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi no later than Tuesday 23 September 2008.

This is in accordance with Order 11(3) of the Standing Orders of Parliament and warrants an immediate response given the gravity of today’s political impasse. A delay in his response would be interpreted as nothing short of a further sabotage of the democratic process and abuse of Executive Power.

The Prime Minister’s haggling on the syntax of our first letter is puerile at best. The intent of our meeting as described in that letter was clearly to discuss the future course of the nation’s leadership – though in deference to his position and in accordance with acceptable norms we remain considerate and polite in our approach.

I find the Prime Minister’s comment about me in his press conference yesterday to be reckless and irresponsible in light of the disastrous outcome of last Friday’s ISA raids.

He has conflated what is essentially an issue of democracy, freedom and the rule of law with national security. The use of the ISA to harass and detain duly elected political opponents is a grave transgression of the law and its continued use would further erode confidence in the current government and exacerbate political instability.

As the incumbent Prime Minister actively holding office and exercising all Executive powers, and as the outgoing Finance Minister, we hold him fully accountable for the current political turmoil and mismanagement of the nation’s economy. His accusation that I have had an adverse impact on the nation’s economy is entirely without basis.

I have met with the key fund managers in the region, representing over USD 1 trillion in assets, and on multiple occasions they were unanimously in support of comprehensive reforms in Malaysia including judicial independence, a free media, a more professional police force and anti-corruption agency, investor friendly laws and assurances on the non-interference of politicians in the governance of Bank Negara. These are policies Pakatan Rakyat has promised to implement– and initiatives that the current administration has done virtually nothing to advance since March 8th.

Press Statement From the Office of the Opposition Leader

--- PRESS STATEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE---

PETALING JAYA, MALAYSIA, 13 SEPTEMBER 2008

The UMNO led BN government is again using the brute force of the ISA to assault those brave and courageous Malaysians who speak out in the name of truth and integrity about the abuses of power, corruption and racism perpetuated by the ruling clique.

I reiterate my unequivocal opposition to the ISA and condemn the unjustified and illegal detention of blogger and social activist Raja Petra Kamaruddin, Seputeh MP and Selangor State Executive Committee Member YB Teresa Kok and Sin Chew Daily reporter Tan Hoon Cheng.

On March 8th and again on August 26th, the Malaysian people expressed their support at the polls for a government that is more accountable and that fulfills its mandate as representative of the people. The UMNO-led BN government has ignored this call. Instead of pursuing a reform agenda it has chosen to burn the country to save itself and to maintain its odious grip on power.

We ask the government how far it is willing to go to usurp justice and destroy the institutions of good governance in its attempt to drive the Malaysian people against each other?

We vehemently reject the racial politics used by politicians in the UMNO-led BN government as an attempt to deflect from internal strife within UMNO, and promise that leaders in the Pakatan Rakyat are committed to and capable of building a peaceful, democratic, multiracial society.

We allude to the statement issued by Pakatan Rakyat on 8 September reiterating our full commitment to constitutional guarantees including the position of Islam as the religion of the federation, the freedom to practice other religions, Bahasa Melayu as the national language and the freedom to practice mother tongue languages, and the status of the Malay kings and the special position of the Malays and bumiputera.

I urge the government to assure the Malaysian people that this politically motivated operation is over. As citizens of a nation that professes to adhere to the spirit of its Constitution, we refuse to live another night in fear.

Those who have been detained under the ISA should be released immediately. We will offer every conceivable support to our friends and their families as they face this ordeal.

Selamat Menyambut Hari Malaysia!!!

Generally, all of us Malaysian know that on August 31, 1957 Persekutuan Tanah Melayu got its indipendence from the British. But, Malaysia was not formed until the 16th of September 1963 when Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore joined the Federation. (Singapore then expelled from the Federation on August 9, 1965). So, Malaysia Day should be considered as equally important to all Malaysians as August 31, 1957 was not the independence day for those in Sabah and Sarawak. Here's a little bit of history for you... Happy Malaysia Day!!!

p.s: Starting from next year, September 16 will be named National Day and given a status of a public holiday while August 31 will be called Independence Day.

BUKIT MERTAJAM 16 Ogos — Calon Barisan Nasional (BN), Datuk Arif Shah
Omar Shah berkata beliau begitu bersemangat untuk berjuang memenangi pilihan

Rakyat (PKR) Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Arif Shah, 51, juga menyifatkan pemilihannya sebagai calon nombor tiga
dalam kertas pencalonan pada pilihan raya kecil pada 26 Ogos ini sebagai petanda
baik untuk beliau memulakan kempennya.

Beliau, yang fasih bertutur bahasa Mandarin dan Hokkien, berkata nombor
tiga atau “san” dalam Mandarin membawa maksud “bukit” atau tempat yang tinggi
dan ini memberi semangat kepadanya untuk berjuang memenangi pilihan raya
itu.

Ketika ditemui pemberita selepas proses penamaan calon, Arif Shah gembira
proses penamaan calon di Dewan Aminuddin Baki, Institut Perguruan Tuanku Bainun
di sini berjalan lancar.

turun memberikan sokongan,” kata Arif Shah, yang juga Anggota Dewan Undangan
Negeri Seberang Jaya. - Bernama

That' what he has said. We all know that Muslims are forbidden to believe moreover to rely on fortune telling as it is against the basis if the Islamic Faith. Now lets hear what the Islamic Scholars have to say.

As you can see, that guy doesn't even respect and follow the teachings of Islam, how are you, the Muslim residents of Permatang Pauh supposed to elect him as your leader? If he can betray Islam just like that, imagine what can he do to you?

The Case of Selangor Pg Farming: An Explanation

Background

The Selangor Modern Pig Farming is a pending issue that has been approved by the State Government of Selangor led by the former Mentri Besar Dato' Seri Dr. Khir Toyo on 30th January 2008.

It is done to gather all pig farming activities that are scattered throughout the state and place them in one compound.

Currently, there are 132 pig farms in this state covering the area of 475 acres. the farms have a total of 257,521 pigs and suplies 3000 pigs or equivalent to 300 tonnes per day to consumers around Selangor and Kuala Lumpur.

The pigs are raised in traditional way and this has caused a lot of problems such as water pollution, odour, and loss of aesthetic values in areas surrounding the farms.

The previous government led by Barisan Nasional was not able to handle these problems especially in the aspects of monitoring and law enforcement.

Reasons to carry out the project

This project is expected to ease the government in monitoring the pig farming activity against:

• The spread of deadly viruses such as Japanese Encaphalitis (JE) and the Nipah Virus.
• Water, river, sea and air pollution.
• seepage of sewage into the ground water.
• illegal farms that are built without lisence.
  

Location

The location at Ladang Tumbuk, Mukim Batu, Kuala Langat, Selangor is selected because:

• The plot of land is private owned.
• It is currently the largest farm in Selangor.
• Situated in the downstream area and is not a source of drinking water.
• The area has the largest majority of the ethnic chinese.
  

The Technology

Wastes produced by the farm is processed in an anaerobic digester to produce biofuel gas that contain Methane, Hydrogen Sulphide, Nitrogen Oxide, Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide. The Biofuel gas will be used to generate the electricity to power the pig farm and provide air-conditioning to the farm itself.

The treated waste water from the farm will not be released into the river but instead used to clean the pig pen and to water the crops to feed the pigs.

Funds

The funds for the project that costs RM100 million will not come from the state government. It will be sourced from:-

• The pig farmers.
• Local investors
• investors from Germany

Conclusion

Overall, this air-conditioned pig farming will reduce:-

• costs of operations
• emmisions of green house gasses
• odour
• water and irrigation pollution.

This project will be a private funded project which means that the state government does not spend a singe cent on this project.

industries such as pig slughtering and cold room could also be implimented and the system monitoring that records the in and out flow would be much easier.

Remarks

This issue has been deliberately used by UMNO by twisting the facts for their political survival. it is a planned CONSPIRACY towards Pakatan Rakyat that has been elected by the people to lead the state government.Seen here in the picture is Dato' Dr Karim Mansor the Tanjung Sepat State Assemblyman together with a village head of Kampung Ladang Tumbuk in a pig pen in Germany in 2007. He were there to discuss the possibility of bringing the German technology back here in Malaysia. This confirms that the project was owned by the previous Barisan Nasional government.
