Yang di-Pertua Dewan Undangan Negeri: Ahli-ahli Yang Berhorma. Dewan bersidang semula. YB. Air Itam, sila sambungkan. Ahli Kawasan Air Itam (YB. Wong Hon Wai): Terima kasih YB. Dato' Speaker. Semalam saya telah menyertai perdebatan dan telah menyentuh beberapa isu tentang Penang Port, isu Tanjung City Marina, dredging of North Channel, tentang cadangan Dewan Undangan Negeri dan status laporan bencana Menara UMNO dan juga kes Rohingya yang saya sebut semalam. Pagi ini saya teruskan ucapan saya tentang beberapa isu lagi yang penting untuk Negeri kita. YB. Dato' Speaker, bekalan air merupakan satu aspek yang sangat penting bukan sahaja untuk minuman tetapi juga aktiviti pertanian, aktiviti komersial, aktiviti perkilangan dan segala aspek dan kita lihat negeri-negeri lain yang menghadapi isu bekalan air mendapat impak yang amat besar. Mana-mana tempat di Selangor saya nampak, di Melaka, di Johor, di Negeri Sembilan, itu saya rasa isu bekalan kita perlu disusuli di setiap kali perdebatan. Pada waktu dahulu juga saya telah bangkitkan isu-isu tentang bekalan air kerana ia penting. Kita perlu memastikan bekalan air di Pulau Pinang mendapat bekalan yang mencukupi dan berterusan bukan sampai 2020 sahaja tapi juga menjangkaui tahun 2020 kena ada proaktif long term planning sehingga 2050. Oleh itu, projek-projek seperti Sungai Perak Raw Water Transfer Project, iaitu perancangan untuk mendapatkan bekalan air dari selatan kita dan Negeri Perak. Ini perlu disusuli dengan lebih gigih lagi kerana sebelum ini kita bergantung kepada dam empangan kita dan juga Seberang Perai kita bergantung juga kepada bekalan air di Sungai Muda, di bahagian Utara. Kita perlu menyusuli bahagian selatan supaya memastikan projek ini can take off dengan memastikan bekalan air kita dapat stable untuk memenuhi keperluan pertumbuhan penduduk dan juga pertumbuhan aktiviti ekonomi. Dan baru-baru ini juga saya baca tentang cadangan atau pun idea Menteri Besar Kedah, YB. Dato' Seri Mukhriz bin Mahathir, dia ada banyak idea baru tentang bekalan air. Dulu dia kata Sungai Muda punya bekalan air kena caj. Pulau Pinang kena bayar bayaran kepada menggunakan Sungai Muda. Kita telah menjawab itu adalah sempadan antara Pulau Pinang dan Kedah. Oleh itu, kita enjoy juga, boleh guna tanpa mengenakan apa-apa bayaran. Lepas itu dia cakap sekali dan bertanding di pertandingan Vice President UMNO, lepas itu senyap isu ini tidak timbul untuk setahun lebih, sekarang dia timbul isu baru pulak. Dia timbul isu baru bahawa minta Pulau Pinang pula untuk bayar sebahagian kos untuk protection of the Ulu Muda catchments. 3 Ulu Muda catchments terletak di Utara Kedah. Amat betul Ulu Muda catchments ini adalah penting untuk memastikan bahawa water catchments ini untuk memberi manfaat kepada Negeri Kedah, Negeri Perlis dan juga Negeri Pulau Pinang. Kita setuju bahawa Ulu Muda, Kedah, the forest line ini perlu di preserve sebagai water catchments tapi beliau meminta Pulau Pinang bayar pula untuk protection of water catchments. Saya rasa ini logik, tidak memasuk akal. Saya menyatakan bahawa Ulu Muda catchments bukan sahaja menyokong aktiviti-aktiviti pertanian di bahagian Utara Kedah, Perlis dan Pulau Pinang. Ia juga membekalkan air kepada ketiga-tiga negeri. Catchments ini penting. Tapi harus kita ingat bahawa sawah padi, bendang- bendang di Negeri Kedah membekalkan nasi bukan sahaja kepada Negeri Kedah, bukan sahaja kepada Negeri Pulau Pinang, bukan sahaja kepada Negeri Perlis. Sawah padi di Negeri Kedah membekalkan beras kepada rakyat seluruh Persekutuan sama ada dari Kelantan, Terengganu, Sabah, Sarawak, seluruh Persekutuan. Dan kita juga memang mengakui sumbangan bendang, sawah padi di Negeri Kedah kerana memberikan kita sumber nasi, sumber yang penting kepada seluruh Malaysia. Oleh itu, apabila sumbangan sawah padi ini diberikan ke seluruh Malaysia, maka protection of the water catchments juga yang membekalkan air kepada bendang, sawah padi di Negeri Kedah, di Seberang Perai dan aktiviti pertanian di sebahagian Perlis juga saya rasa perlu kerana ia sumbang kepada keseluruhan Persekutuan. Dia perlu juga mendapat sumbangan Persekutuan untuk perlindungan Ulu Muda catchments ini. Saya percaya bukan sahaja Negeri Pulau Pinang, Negeri Perlis, Negeri Kedah, kita boleh menyokong bahawa sumbangan atau pun peruntukan dari Kerajaan Persekutuan perlu diberikan untuk perlindungan water Ulu Muda catchments ini dan bukan setiap kali buka mulut kepada Negeri Pulau Pinang, nak caj ini, caj itu. Kita mengakui bahawa sumbangan sawah padi kepada seluruh Persekutuan. Maka, Kerajaan Persekutuan perlu selepas mengutip semua cukai-cukai, cukai pendapatan, semua levi, GST ini semua disalurkan kepada Perbendaharaan Kerajaan Persekutuan. Maka perlu Kerajaan Persekutuan mengeluarkan peruntukan untuk memastikan catchments ini dijaga dengan baik dan wang yang disalurkan daripada Kerajaan Persekutuan kepada Negeri Kedah. Dan argument saya jangan selalu buka meminta Kerajaan Pulau Pinang untuk, kita menyokong supaya Kedah pergi minta dari Kerajaan Persekutuan. Kita menyokong atas dasar bahawa sumbangan kepada federal dari segi periuk nasi di seluruh Negeri Kedah, begitu juga Seberang Perai sawah padi kita menyumbang kepada seluruh Persekutuan bukan kepada negeri-negeri tertentu saja. Itu argument saya, silakan. Ahli Kawasan Pulau Betong (YB. Sr. Haji Muhamad Farid Bin Haji Saad): Terima kasih YB. Air Itam. YB. Dato' Speaker. Sedarkah Yang Berhorma ada satu ketika dulu Pulau Pinang pernah membayar kepada Kedah untuk membolehkan Negeri Kedah melepaskan air kepada Pulau Pinang. Ini berlaku sekitar 80-an. Kita pernah sikit air state mereka. Kita pernah minta Kedah lepaskan air dan kita bayar. Ada precedent kes di situ. Ini bermakna jika kita hendak menjaga hubungan baik kita dengan Kedah, kita harus berhati-hati kerana punca air itu berada di sana. Dan tentunya seperti Yang Berhorma kata air itu digunakan untuk sawah padi dan juga untuk bekalan. So, kalau Kerajaan Negeri Kedah memerlu kos untuk menyelenggara dam itu, empangan itu mereka meminta kepada kita untuk turut menyumbang. Tak salah saya rasa untuk kita menyumbang bagi memastikan kita ada kelangsungan bekalan air kepada Pulau Pinang 4 ini. Itu cadangan mereka dan ini boleh dibincangkan di antara Y.A.B. Ketua Menteri dan juga Menteri Besar Kedah. Saya rasa itu boleh dibawa kepada meja perundingan. Satu lagi Yang Berhorma, yang saya nak tekankan adalah kita mengharapkan kepada bekalan Sungai Perak dan Kedah. Tapi di Negeri Pulau Pinang sendiri kita mengabaikan tugas kita untuk menjaga air. Bukit-bukit adalah kawasan tadahan air. Kita rosakkan mereka. Cuba YB. Air Itam pergi ke sungai-sungai kita hari ini yang mengalir di seluruh Pulau Pinang ini. Semakin hari air semakin kurang, semakin cetek dan ada sungai mati di mana tidak ada lagi aliran air. Mengapa jadi begini. Ini kerana kita punya rakus, kita tidak menjaga alam sekitar, tidak menjaga bukit kita sehingga menyebabkan air semakin berkurangan. So, satu pihak kita harap orang lain bagi air kepada kita dan kita sendiri, tempat kita tak jaga air kita. Ini macam mana Yang Berhorma. So, kita kena ada sikap keprihatinan ini selain daripada kita mengharap bekalan air daripada negeri-negeri lain.

  • WTW Property Market 2004
    WTW Property Market 2004 CONTENTS CHAIRMAN’S FOREWORD 2004 MARKET DIRECTION KUALA LUMPUR & SELANGOR PENANG PERAK KEDAH & PERLIS JOHOR MALACCA NEGERI SEMBILAN PAHANG KELANTAN TERENGGANU SABAH & LABUAN SARAWAK PROFESSIONAL SERVICES WTW NETWORK PROFESSIONAL STAFF WTW Property Market 2004 CHAIRMAN’S FOREWORD We are happy to present our Property Market Report for 2004- a year of promise and expectation. The measure commonly applied in describing the state of the property market is the volume of transactions, in terms of numbers of sale and purchase, and in terms of the consideration realised. In that context, except for the residential sector, all other sectors continue to languish; a description that can be confidently said to prevail everywhere in the country except in the Klang Valley. Any forecast or statement of the property market outlook over the coming year/s based on Mohd Talhar Abdul Rahman this measure would rely almost totally on the consideration of the “tradeability” of the transacted units. Price movements and the number of transactions by themselves belie other critical elements which require deeper probing if the prevailing state of the market is regarded as unacceptable, and therefore requires correction. The market cannot correct itself, particularly when the so-called market-driven property market had during the last decade been afflicted with a fatal dose of supply-demand mismatch. It was not by being market-driven that the malaise developed. The root of it all was the overwhelming focus on “tradeability” of property, rather than on the “occupation” of property and its utility. Other factors merely compound the problem. What we have seen through the seven years post 1997 is the strength of the residential market.

Box 789, 0980 Manila, Philippines For more information on ADB, visit http:\\www.adb.org FOREWORD This report is one of a series of five commissioned by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to identify and recommend best practices to be followed and specific steps to be taken, by ADB’s developing member countries in order to encourage both private sector investment and competition in infrastructure development. The study was financed through a $600,000 regional technical assistance grant - RETA 5753: Developing Best Practices for Promoting Private Sector Investment in Infrastructure. This report focuses on the road sector; the other reports cover the power, water supply, airport and air traffic control, and port sectors. Transport is central to achieving prosperity and the quality of life, to which all countries aspire. Transport policy has pervasive impacts: on economic performance; on the shape and structure of human settlements through its impact upon physical development and economic structures; on the distribution of income; and on the environment. This report develops best practices for promoting private sector investment in the road sector. It defines the objectives of private sector participation, reviews experiences of private sector participation in Asia and elsewhere, examines the degree of success that has been achieved to date, and identifies the key issues that provide the basis for determining best practices.

A careful analysis of the 1999 elec- tion results provides evidence of this New Politics. However, it is possible that the results of the up- coming election might not carry evidence of this New Politics. To comprehend this apparent contra- diction in my argument, I distin- guish between two realms of poli- tics: formal electoral politics in- volving the political parties and non-formal participatory politics often involving NGOs and other community groups who do not necessarily focus on winning elec- tions. Even if the Barisan Nasional (BN) wins the forthcom- ing election, the New Politics will prevail. The BN’s hegemony over Malaysian society will not be as comprehensive as it used to be, again. The Meaning Of New Politics Ethnicity remains a very salient aspect of Malaysian politics. However, whereas ethnicity pre- viously dominated the discourse and practice of Malaysian politics and posed limits on democracy, it no longer does so to the same pre- dictable extent.

  • George Town Or Georgetown , Is the Capital of the State of Penang In
    George Town[1] or Georgetown[2], is the capital of the state of Penang in Malaysia. Named after Britain's King George III, George Town is located on the north-east corner of Penang Island and has about 220,000 inhabitants, or about 400,000 including the suburbs. Formerly a municipality and then a city in its own right, since 1976 George Town has been part of the municipality of Penang Island, though the area formerly governed by the city council is still commonly referred to as a city, and is also known as Tanjung ("The Cape") in Malay and 喬治市 (Qiáozhì Shì) in Chinese. [edit]History George Town was founded in 1786 by Captain Francis Light, a trader for the British East India Company, as base for the company in the Malay States. He obtained the island of Penang from the Sultan of Kedah and built Fort Cornwallis on the north-eastern corner of the island. The fort became the nexus of a growing trading post and the island's population reached 12,000 by 1804. The town was built on swampy land that had to be cleared of vegetation, levelled and filled. The original commercial town was laid out between Light Street, Beach Street (then running close to the seashore), Malabar Street (subsequently called Chulia Street) and Pitt Street (now called Masjid Kapitan Keling Street). The warehouses and godowns extended from Beach Street to the sea. By the 1880s, there were ghauts leading from Beach Street to the wharf and jetties as Beach Street receded inland due to land reclamation.

    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 26, Issue 5 2002 Article 1 Unjust Order: Malaysia’s Internal Security Act Nicole Fritz∗ Martin Flahertyy ∗ y Copyright c 2002 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj Unjust Order: Malaysia’s Internal Security Act Nicole Fritz and Martin Flaherty Abstract This Report represents the culmination of a year-long project undertaken by the Crowley Pro- gram to update the study of the use and impact of the Internal Security Act (ISA) in Malaysia in light of international law obligations. We reference first those international commitments that Malaysia has expressly adopted. However, these are very few–reflecting the antipathy felt by the Malaysian government for international obligations of this sort. Additionally, we have made ref- erence to the generally-accepted international law provisions applicable in this context–intended both to demonstrate the extent to which the ISA deviates from widely-upheld international norms, even if those norms are not ones expressly accepted by Malaysia. We have also referenced the extent to which other States, contemplating reviving or enacting similar laws, will fall afoul of their more readily undertaken international obligations in doing so. SPECIAL REPORT UNJUST ORDER: MALAYSIA'S INTERNAL SECURITY ACT Nicole Fritz* & Martin Flaherty** INTRODUCTION The Petronas Towers - two soaring office blocks in the heart of Kuala Lumpur - rise cleanly from their base. Few neighboring skyscrapers hem their space and it is this contrast to their surrounding landscape that makes them, arguably, even more arresting than the Twin Towers they so obviously recall.

  • Over Black 505 Rally Malaysiakini.Com June 20, 2013 by Susan Loone
    Pakatan reps ready to 'take the risk' over Black 505 rally MalaysiaKini.com June 20, 2013 By Susan Loone Penang Pakatan Rakyat representatives said they would face the risk of losing their posts as MPs and assemblypersons for taking part in the Black 505 rally this Saturday to protest alleged electoral fraud in the May 5 general election. Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Tzin said the people and public opinion were with Pakatan in fighting for this cause and therefore, they must proceed regardless of the dangers of being incarcerated for it. NONE"Everyone knows BN won by cheating, there are so many incidences of the indelible ink which are not delible, there is gerrymandering, especially in rural areas, and the list goes on," Sim (right) said, in a press conference to urge Penangites to attend the rally. "There is also an overwhelming number of petitions filed against 40 seats, an unprecedented number in history, it shows a serious flaw in the election process," he added. Accompanying Sim are state executive councillor Dr Afif Bahardin, MP Kasthurirani Pattoo (Batu Kawan), assemblypersons accompanying Ong Chin Wen (Bukit Tengah), Lee Khai Loon (Machang Bubok), Law Choo Kiang (Bukit Tambun),Teh Lai Hing (Komtar), T Jayabalan (Batu Uban), Cheah Kah Peng (Kebun Bunga), Dr Afif Bahardin and state PAS election director Roshidi Hussin. The group wants Penangites to attend the rally as they have been the "agents of change" for Penang since 2008, where the BN coalition - which ruled the state since 1971 - was ousted by Pakatan then. Roshidi - a former candidate for Penaga - also urged all PAS members to go down to Padang Merbok where the rally would be held, although Pakatan has yet to get permission to use the venue from the Kuala Lumpur mayor.
