    Ex-MCA leader defects to PKR Malaysiakini.com Aug 3, 2008 Terence Netto Former MCA Wanita deputy chief and Ministry of International Trade and Industry parliamentary secretary Dr Tan Yee Kew today crossed over with 1,700 others to PKR in Klang - the constituency which she once represented for 13 years. MCPX dr tan yew kee former mca klang wanita joins pkr anwar ibrahim event 030808 03To rousing applause from a crowd of about 1,500 people who packed the convention hall of the Klang Executive Club, Tan said that despite the reverses suffered by the BN in the recent elections, "they are oblivious of the people's discontent" and consumed "by power struggles" within component parties. "The BN just doesn't get it," she said. "The March 8 election was a warning to them to act quickly and take steps to tackle issues like rising costs and crime, restoring the judiciary, and bringing equitable development for all," she added. dr tan yew kee former mca klang wanita joins pkr anwar ibrahim event 030808 04"But the BN has not only lost its sense of priorities, it has also lost its direction," said Tan, holder of a doctorate in development studies from Universiti Malaya and the member of parliament for Klang for three terms from 1995. The country needs new leadership," said she added, turning to look in the direction of PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim who was seated on the stage in the hall. "All of us here respect the leadership you can provide," she remarked to applause from the crowd.

  • Hagley Oval Section 71 Proposal - Further Information Available
    SUBMISSION ON S71 CHANGES TO THE DISTRICT PLAN - HAGLEY OVAL. My name iss9(2)(a I was part of a group that took part in the Environment Court EC and attended each day for 5 weeks. I learned during that case and subseq uently, to be wary of anything Canterbury Cricket Trust CCT says and even more so what they don't say. I have put in a submission on behalf of HO H, concentrating on amenity. This is my personal submission dealing with the proposed changes requested by CCT and their impact on Hagley Park and its other users. I believe that the use of S71 in this instance is wrong. The ability to question expert evidence and present opposing expert evidence is essential in this sensitive proposal. The RMA is the vehicle t hat can provide this. The minister is no doubt aware of the section in the letter of expectation that advises her regarding the use of S71, where the RMA could be used instead. Also the amendment to the Regenerate act proposed by the current minister Megan Wood and passed unanimously by Parliament protecting Hagley Park from the Regen Act. https://www.parliament.nz/en/pb/hansard This states: "But what we are saying is that when it comes to Hagley Park and the protections that have been built up over that piece of land, it actually is time to return to business as usual. When it comes to that particular taonga in the centre of our city, we do need to be able to say, it is if the earthquakes never happened and it is as if the bespoke legislation that is put in place to aid our recovery and our regeneration does not exist...."
