  • Perumahan – Part 2 (2015)
    Artikel Berita Mengenai Industri Pembangunan di Malaysia Innovacia Sdn Bhd Perumahan – Part 2 (2015): Berita Harian (cont.): PR1MA sasar 250,000 rumah diluluskan menjelang akhir tahun SABTU, 11 JULAI 2015 @ 4:24 PM KUALA LUMPUR: Perbadanan PR1MA Malaysia (PR1MA) menyasar 250,000 unit rumah mampu milik diluluskan oleh lembaga pengarahnya menjelang akhir tahun ini. Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif, Datuk Abdul Mutalib Alias, berkata lembaga pengarah sudah meluluskan 153,000 unit di 10 lokasi di seluruh negara, kecuali Labuan. "Kami sudah pun menerima 1,016,000 permohonan untuk rumah PR1MA setakat ini, dan permintaan sangat menggalakkan," katanya pada sesi pengundian bagi projek PR1MA@Cyberjaya 1 di sini, hari ini. Sesi pengundian itu dirasmikan oleh Ketua Setiausaha Kementerian Kewangan Tan Sri Dr Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah yang juga anggota lembaga pengarah PR1MA. Perumahan PR1MA disasarkan untuk rakyat Malaysia berpendapatan sederhana dengan purata pendapatan isi rumah antara RM2,500 dan RM10,000, berusia lebih 21 tahun dan belum memiliki lebih daripada satu hartanah individu atau keluarga. Unit terbabit dijual antara RM100,000 dan RM400,000. Mengulas dakwaan bahawa perumahan PR1MA semakin mahal hingga RM400,000, yang tidak mampu dibeli, Abdul Mutalib berkata dakwaan itu tidak benar. "Setakat ini perumahan kami tidak melebihi RM400,000, dan kebanyakan projek menawarkan harga antara RM250,000 dan RM300,000 seunit dan hanya ada beberapa unit berharga lebih RM350,000," katanya. Beliau berkata dasar membenarkan pembeli kali kedua membeli kediaman PR1MA bersama pembeli kali pertama, namun kelebihan diberikan kepada pembeli kali pertama. Ini bertujuan memberi peluang kepada mereka yang sudah memiliki rumah sebelum PR1MA ditubuhkan, yang jauh dari tempat kerja, untuk memiliki kediaman di lokasi yang ideal, katanya.

  • Trio Who Quit Still Umno Reps, Insists New MB Malaysiakini.Com May 14, 2014
    Trio who quit still Umno reps, insists new MB MalaysiaKini.com May 14, 2014 Newly-minted Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman has insisted the three BN state assemblypersons who quit to become independents are still Umno members. "The speaker has not received anything (resignations from Umno) therefore I take it that (their resignations) are not verified yet. "All of them including (former Terengganu MB) Ahmad Said are still (Umno assemblypersons)," he told a press conference after clocking in for the first day of work at Wisma Darul Iman. As such, Razif (right) ruled out using his powers to dissolve the state assembly, stating: "It does not arise". He also brushed aside PAS' call to dissolve the state assembly, adding: "They are doing what they always do.” The BN Terengganu government was on the verge of collapse after Ahmad Said led a series of resignations shortly after he was replaced by Razif as menteri besar. Ahmad Said, who is Kijal state assemblyperson as well as Ajil state assemblyperson Ghazali Taib and Bukit Besi state assemblyperson Roslee Daud had yesterday quit Umno to become independents. This prompted a mad scramble to bring the disgruntled representatives back as it left BN with only 14 representatives to Pakatan Rakyat's 15 on top of three independents. Roslee had since returned to BN's fold. MB downplays Najib meeting Razif, who appeared upbeat at work today, said he would temporarily use his office on the sixth floor of the state administrative building where he previously served as state exco for science, technology and innovation; energy, green technology and water.

  • The Hudud Controversy in Contemporary Malaysia: a Study of Its Proposed Implementation in Kelantan and Terengganu
    International Journal of Latest Research in Humanities and Social Science (IJLRHSS) Volume 02 - Issue 01, www.ijlrhss.com || PP. 54-60 The Hudud Controversy in Contemporary Malaysia: A Study of Its Proposed Implementation in Kelantan and Terengganu R. Sivaperegasam P.Rajanthiran (Dr)1 Abstract: This paper explores and examines Hudud punishments in Islamic penal system, and is specifically purposed to analyse the proposed actualisation of the Hudud law in the two Malay-Muslim dominated states of Kelantan and Terengganu in the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. This paper is legal normative with descriptive-qualitative approach on both primary and secondary resources in order to obtain a judicial view of the subject matter by employing legal-theoretical and comparative analysis. In Malaysia, the Syariah Criminal Enactment (II) 1993 of Kelantan and the Syariah Criminal Enactment 2003 of Terengganu (as proposed by PAS) allow the application of Hudud laws into the above mentioned states. However, the enforcement of the above in both these states have been suspended indefinitely as UMNO claims these laws are inconsistent with the Federal Constitution - the supreme law of the Federation. This is because the enactment of penal laws are within the jurisdiction of the federal authority and not the state. Furthermore, the criminal jurisdiction of the Syariah Court has been restricted by the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965, a federal law. The arguments in relation to the implementation of Hudud laws in Malaysia is an ongoing political-dispute between PAS and UMNO even to the present moment. Upon examining the facts related, this paper arrives at a point where it confirms the unsuitability on the actualization of the Hudud law presently not only in Kelantan and Terengganu but in contemporary Malaysia as a whole.

  • Green Technology Part 1 (2015)
    Malaysian Construction Industry News Articles Innovacia Sdn Bhd Green Technology Part 1 (2015): New Straits Times: To go green, make lifestyle changes 21 DECEMBER 2015 @ 11:02 AM IT is heartening to note that “going green” is gaining popularity especially among the urbanites and environmental-conscious. As I see it, is a process of changing one’s lifestyle with due consideration given to protecting and safeguarding the environment. The term “going green” is now often used in relation to “green building”, “green technology” and so forth. In a nutshell, it means reducing carbon emissions to not only help the environment, but also ourselves. Even though many Malaysians believe environmental consideration should be given priority, their lifestyles, unfortunately, indicate otherwise. If we “go green”, we can reduce our monthly electricity consumption. We should also use public transport more instead of private vehicles. When purchasing electrical goods or appliances, we should look for those that are energy efficient. In construction, property developers should design energy efficient buildings and we should use improved insulation and cooling systems as well as promote awareness to encourage more Malaysians to be energy efficient and conserve energy. Let’s walk the talk to a cleaner and healthier environment. n BULBIR SINGH,Seremban, Negri Sembilan Read More : http://www.nst.com.my/news/2015/12/118329/go-green-make-lifestyle-changes Big things ahead for Terengganu's 'Silicon Valley' project BY ADRIAN DAVID - 14 DECEMBER 2015 @ 2:58 PM SETIU: Terengganu’s 1,800ha 'silicon valley' project is moving ahead smoothly and is destined to create a positive impact by spurring new industries and towns in the state.

  • The Political
    Terengganu Political Crisis Almost Resolved – Tengku Putera Bernama May 14, 2014 PUTRAJAYA, May 14 (Bernama) -- The political crisis in Terengganu following the reported announcement by former menteri besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Said that he had quit Umno, is almost resolved, according to Terengganu Umno Liaison secretary, Datuk Tengku Putera Tengku Awang. He said from a phone conversation between Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and Ahmad, what happened in the last two or three days was almost settled. He said the prime minister had confirmed receiving a calm and the phone conversation with Ahmad, who expressed regret over what happened. Tengku Putera was speaking to reporters after accompanying new Terengganu Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman for a meeting with the prime minister together with 13 Terengganu assemblymen at the Perdana Putra building, here, on the latest political developments in the East Coast state. Tengku Putera said Ahmad was expected to "retract whatever had transpired in the last two or three days". Ahmad was also to hold a press conference any time soon, he added. Amid much speculation about Ahmad's position as menteri besar lately, the political situation reached crisis level when Ahmad, who is also Kijal assemblyman, was reported to have quit Umno immediately after Ahmad Razif took his oath of office as the new menteri besar on Monday. Following this, Ajil assemblyman Ghazali Taib and Bukit Besi assemblyman Roslee Daud were also reported to have quit Umno and become independents. However, Roslee was reported to have returned to the party on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Ahmad Razif is optimistic that the two (Ghazali and Ahmad) would return to Barisan Nasional (BN).
