Giant Hypermarket USJ, Subang will be Demolished ??

The below is the latest photo taken at Giant USJ, Subang. You will surprise why suddenly the concrete structural for Proton Showroom been demolished, partially tenant in from Pos Office have gone & partial Pos Office space going realign activities.







According to the source, the incident happened on thursday when customers of giant hypermarket was caught in surprise as heavy machine caterpillar was entering the parking bay and started to demolish the car washing area.

After stop by the management, the caterpillar was found hired by the landlord as negotiation with Giant Management & landlord have reach deadlock. Giant Hypermarket have been using the place for almost 15-20 years and why suddenly such incident happened?

Understand taht The Original landlord who sign agreement with Giant Management for the past 15-20 years have recently transfer the land title to his relatives. This prompt the new landlord owner want to renegotiate the new term & condition with Giant Management. After 2 years of nego and nothing in progress (money matters i think?) the landlord act on his own.

However it is believe that prior incident happen, MPSJ have issued vacant order to all the effected tenant ordering them clear the place in 30 days. But in a U-turn event the new landlord have obtain a "approval" from MPSJ to demolish the structural immediately.

Now I doubt the Hypermarket can still doing business as usual as if the new landlord taking back his land (which almost same size as its hypermarket), where customer can park their car?? Is MPSJ will keep quiet if no suffcient car park available for opening a hypermarket?

Genius Ong Tee Keat interview with NST

"... yet for those know him well, we will be surprise not how good is he but how good is the interviewer / journalist was"

Tee Keat faces long road ahead

Datuk Ong Tee Keat has been on a vast learning curve since he took office as the new transport minister. The MCA vice-president tells EILEEN NG and DAVID YEOW about his first week in office, plans for the ministry and MCA’s future.

Q: How has your first week as transport minister been?

A: It has been a busy week with a series of meetings and briefings. It is a huge ministry to familiarise myself with. I need to learn as much as I can within the shortest time possible, not just in dealing with policy matters, terminologies, modus operandi and issues at hand within the different sectors but to meet public expectations as well.

I need to move speedily on the learning curve. I see this as not just an acid test on my learning capacity but as an opportunity to acquire as much knowledge as I can.

My meetings are not just a monologue. I interrupt my officers with questions. I will ask them questions similar to those bloggers ask. Some of them are shocked by my questions. Sometimes, I have to play the devil's advocate (to get the satisfactory answers).

Q: How has your family reacted to your appointment?

A: My family has been very supportive. This was particularly true when my political career almost came to an end many years ago. It has not been easy but my wife and three daughters understand what I am doing.

Q: What do you do to relax?

A: I love creative writing, listening to oldies and classical music and watching movies. But with my new portfolio, I don't see myself indulging in them much any more.

Q: How busy have you been since taking office?

A: In terms of working hours, it contravenes existing labour laws (laughs). On average, I work more than 12 hours a day, excluding meal times. I'm referring to solid work. I usually start after 8am and work through the night.

Q: Public expectations for the ministry are high, especially as it is considered one of the "hottest" ministries around. How are you coping with that?

A: I believe in active engagement and reaching out to the people by providing an efficient and practical way for them to voice their grouses and concerns.

I believe in taking a consultative approach, meaning there must be avenues for stakeholders of the transport industry, the public and non-governmental organisations to voice their concerns on policy matters as well as provide feedback on their implementation.

We must understand their views and only then can we talk about initiatives to improve the transportation system.

Q: How can the public contribute their views?

A: I am mindful of the necessity for the public to speak up. However, not everyone is IT-savvy. Therefore, I am exploring the possibility of having call centres and using radio stations as a platform to gather public's views.

Q: Do you think your training as an engineer will help in improving the ministry?

A: Yes. I was previously a mechanical engineer with six years' experience in the transport sector. This will help me speed up my understanding of the ministry and help me get the job done. For example, I will be keeping a checklist on current issues. I would be very much hands on, just like during my days as an engineer.

Q: What are your priorities?

A: There are three aspects, I will look into. Firstly, improving the ministry services by taking into account public views and comments.

Secondly, I will focus on our regional and international reputation. We are in the midst of developing Malaysia into a regional hub for transportation and increasing our competitiveness in the global arena is very important.

Finally, it would be about implementing new initiatives. I will adopt user-friendly and people-oriented approaches when it comes to implementation.

New initiatives must serve their purpose well.

Q: Of the previous transport ministers, Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik focused on the shipping sector while Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy was into aviation. What about you?

A: When I spelled out my three major concerns, you'd realise I did not go by sectors. I'm not trying to be overly ambitious but I will have a balanced approach. We cannot afford to have any sector trail behind the others.

Q: The cabinet gave the go-ahead for the mandatory use of seatbelts for backseat passengers in February. Have you touched on this issue since taking office?

A: We did talk about this during our recent post-cabinet meeting. We decided that before implementing anything, we need to first educate the public and keep them informed.

We need to convince them of the necessity for backseat passengers to use seatbelts. We need a certain level of public participation before we can expect a good level of compliance.

We will definitely implement the law, but like any legislation introduced, what I am more concerned about is that it ultimately serves its purpose.

This law is necessary and hopefully, we can implement it this year. But I don't want to mention anything about a grace period because we all know people's mentality when it comes to grace periods.

Q: How long would you give yourself to get the ministry rolling?

A: I don't want to impose a rigid time frame. Suffice to say, it will be done as fast as possible. I need to bear in mind that I am paid by the people to do my job.

I need to remain faithful and dutiful to the taxpayers, who are my paymasters.

Q: Any plans for higher summonses for road users who flout traffic rules?

A: This is not on my agenda. Summonses are just a punitive measure. Would raising summonses serve as a good deterrent for the offences? At the same time, we need to be mindful of the spiralling cost of living.

It is better to reinforce preventive measures like educating people on safe and responsible driving.

Q: What is the status of the Automated Enforcement System, which involves the use of cameras along highways and roads to track down errant drivers?

A: This is a major initiative to combat traffic offences, particularly speeding and beating the red lights. Currently, this proposal is under further evaluation.

We are not going to implement this unilaterally. For such an initiative to work, we must synergise efforts with various agencies, including the police and the Works Ministry.

Q: The new Selangor government has expressed its intentions to investigate alleged improprieties in the Port Klang Free Trade Zone.

A: The ministry welcomes all proposals, irrespective of the proposers' affiliations. We are open to it. This should be handled in the interests of the people and the nation. Not on partisan interest.

But I would advise the Selangor government to check their jurisdiction first.

However, we will not shut our doors to them because they are elected into office by the people.

Q: There is talk that you are challenging Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy for the MCA deputy president's post.

A: I will only go for the post if Chan quits or decides not to seek re-election. I will never seek to challenge or try to unseat anyone.

More important now is for the party to conduct a comprehensive post- mortem at both federal and local levels on MCA's poor performance at the recent general election.

Q: Do you think the party's rejuvenation strategy has backfired?

A: Rejuvenation is unavoidable but it is a matter of scale and timing. Our poor showing is not attributed to one cause but to various factors.

Q: There have been calls by veterans for president Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting to take responsibility for the party's dismal showing and resign. What do you think of such moves?

A: Everyone has his own views, but what is important is that unlike the politics in Japan, Taiwan and South Korea, we do not have a culture where political leaders take responsibility by bowing out.

What is important now is to study how we should reposition ourselves after this setback. This has to be done by assessing the true scenario that contributed to our poor showing and then reinvent.

This is indeed a very outstanding Q & A from Datuk Ong Tee Keat. Most of the question been answer clear & not over confident. He still a very outstanding politician... yet for those know him well, we will be surprise not how good is he but how good is the interviewer / journalist was. The journalist have done a most brilliant & outstanding job as he/she able to caught so many point from the process. If you know the politician very well you will know how good he can bring you walk around the garden before arrived back to your main question and by that time yourself will also blur what you want to ask!

Dr Mahathir Again...

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad

The below article was on the front page of the Sun yesterday;

DrM speaks up on Rulers and politicians
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad

PETALING JAYA (March 27, 2008): A Concerned Malaysian has expressed his worry over the role being played by Sultans in the appointment of the Mentri Besar.

His Royal Highnesses have clearly refused to take the advice of the Chief Minister i.e. the Prime Minister. Instead, they have chosen on their own a member of the state legislature to head the Government.

We hear a lot of opinions on the propriety of the action by the Sultan. Some say he has the right to do this while others point out that as a constitutional ruler, he could not do this.

The Constitution says that the Ruler or Head of State must choose the elected member who enjoys the support of the majority of members in the legislative body to be the Prime Minister or the Mentri Besar. Subject to this provision, the Ruler it is who chooses and appoints the Prime Minister or Mentri Besar.



The Prime Minister, as Prime Minister, has no role in the choice of the State Mentri Besar or Ketua Menteri. His naming of candidate who should be the Mentri Besar is purely a party matter. Obviously, if the State is captured by the Opposition Party, he cannot name the candidate.

However, if the Ruler chooses someone who does not enjoy majority support, he could be deposed at a sitting of the legislative body through a vote of "no confidence".



After that, another member can be appointed by the Ruler to take his place. But if for some reason, there is no other candidate or the candidate with majority support is considered unsuitable by the Ruler, a new Government cannot be formed. The Ruler may then dissolve the legislative body and a new election may be held.

This new election may lead to the same impasse. The Ruler may not like the member with majority support.

However, it should be noted that this kind of thing had never happened during the premiership of the four previous Prime Ministers. Concerned Malaysians should wonder why.

Is it just that the particular Ruler is being difficult, unwilling to accept the principles of democracy, wanting to return to feudalism and the absolute authority of the monarch?

I do not think so. There must be a reason why the Ruler refuses to accept the candidate named by the party. But the Ruler chooses not to reveal the reasons and indulge in public debates. He merely expresses his displeasure by refusing to do what normally the Rulers would do.

Concerned Malaysians must ask what has the particular candidate done which is so wrong that it incurs the displeasure of the Ruler.

There are lots of talks in the town. Terengganu is blessed with petroleum deposits. It should get 5% of the total earning from oil production. The Federal Government; fearing the previous PAS government might use this money wrongly had withheld payment.

But when the Barisan Nasional (BN) regained Terengganu the money, now called "Wang Ehsan", was lavishly spent by the Federal Government on Terengganu. It is not a small sum. Over these years "Wang Ehsan" totalled several billion.






We know that since the BN regained Terengganu in 2004, all kinds of projects have been developed in Terengganu. This includes The Monsoon Cup, luxury housing for sale to foreigners, Crystal Mosque and theme park, university, etc. Some of these projects are very good but many are totally unnecessary and wasteful.

But what the Terengganu people are saying is that all these mega projects costing billions of Ringgit have been contracted out to people outside Terengganu. Terengganu contractors got practically nothing.



But additionally, they say the contracts all went to one person and they are suspicious that behind this person are members of the first family.The rumours also say that the previous Mentri Besar was responsible for these things happening and of course, they think that he might have benefited financially.

The rumours went on to say that the Prime Minister might have influenced the Mentri Besar into doing wrong things. These are all rumours. It will be quite impossible to prove anything as the perpetrators are skilled in hiding themselves.

This is not good for a Government keen to abolish corruption and be transparent. To clear its name, an investigation should be made.



But the public is leery of investigations by Government agencies and departments. Even Royal Commissions are not highly regarded. The people believe, not true of course, that the Government has been interfering with the work of the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA), the Police and the Attorney General (A-G)'s Chambers. The say this is borne out by the results of investigations by these agencies.



When a Deputy Minister was accused of accepting money for the release of a detainee, the A-G said there was no case because the detainee said he did not give any money to the Deputy Minister. It is so easy. If you have a case involving someone, all the enforcement agencies need to do is to ask him whether he was involved. If he says "no", then there is no case.

For some reason, judges are finding that people accused of murder are not guilty because of insufficient evidence by the police. Yet people who are totally not involved in a case, who were not accused of any misdeeds and who did not appear in court at all and been given a hearing are found guilty and publicly condemned.

The public cannot be blamed for not having faith in Government agencies doing investigations. The public cannot be blamed for suspecting cover-ups by the Government or worse still the Government may be using these enforcement agencies to threaten people.

To clear its good name, the Government should get credible foreign agencies to do the investigation. Of course, they must be given full access to the documents etc.

Now my detractors are going to say I did worse things when I was Prime Minister. Well, if that is so, let us have the foreign agencies investigate me also. I am aware that people are looking into possible misdeeds by me during my 22 years so as to threaten me and ask me to shut up. So far they have not found anything.

Not only have I not taken anything that was not due to me while I was Prime Minister but I have given back to the Government and the people everything that I had received as gifts during my tenure of office.

The Government had offered me land in Kedah and Langkawi and I had refused to accept. I have a 5-acre plot in Putrajaya which I paid for even though the Government was offering it to me free.

Unless there is a frame-up, I think there should be nothing to pin on me. Even other accusations against me, including the dismissal of judges, were not my doing and I do not feel obliged to apologise. Ask the Tribunal to apologise.




The person asking that the Government should apologise for what happened to Tun Salleh Abbas may have forgotten that as President of the Muslim Lawyers Association, he fully supported the action that was taken. He castigated the Bar Council for condemning Tun Hamid Omar over the dismissal of judges. Now he wants to be more correct than correct. I wonder why.
