Hotline for FT MPs to contact the Minister, Datuk Bandar and Director-General of DBKL.

In a 20 minute speech on 17.4.2008, Dr Tan Seng Giaw, MP for Kepong, presented his views on the need to improve the access of MPs to the FT Minister, the Mayor (Datuk Bandar) and the Director-General of City Hall Kuala Lumpur (DBKL), the part played by DBKL to reduce the effects of inflation on city folks, assessment, public trransport and road projects, flood mitigation, solid and liquid waste disposal, abandoned or delayed project, small and medium enterprise (SME) and foreign workers, the use and misuse of land, zero squatter and people's housing programme (PPR), facilities such as sports and clinics, environment, youth, senior citizens and drug trafficking and addiction.

The ministry has to consider carefully the allocation of an office for the Pakatan Rakyat secretariat. Meanwhile, there must be some sorts of hotline to facilitate the access of MPs to the minister, datuk bandar and the director-general of DBKL on major issues or emergencies.

The increase in the price of commodies such as flour and soya and petrol touching US$ 112 per barrel puts pressure on inflation domestically. DBKL would have to work out the ways to reduce the effects of inflation on city folks, especially in its enforcement. While there is a need to ensure that SME and traders conform with the regulations, it is also necessary to have a human face.

Legal and illegal immigrant workers are fould in various industries and trades. While there should not be abused of human rights on all workers including immigrants, DBKL should also assist city folks in getting a fair deal.

This is applicable to assessment in which DBKL is very keen. Because of the current economic situation, assessment must not be an undue burden on city dwellers.

The number of people entering KL is increasing. Each day, there are over 2.5 million people. But, road projects are limited. Traffic jam occurs. One solution is improving public transport. Now, only 19% of city folks use public transport. Some cities such as Singapore may be as high as 70%. We have to improve the use of buses, commuters, light rail transit and monorail. More and affordable parking spaces must be created in outlying areas. We do not want to see empty buses; Rapid KL should not be Slow KL.

Flood mitigation must be efficient. Package I, the smart tunnel, (costing RM 2.1 billion) has been completed for use as tolled road before the mitigation of flood. It is more like smart toll. As there is rain almost everyday partly because of the climate change, floods appear. Package II is the channeling of excess water from Gombak, Batu and Jinjang to the three large ponds in Jinjang North, costing RM 804 million. It is delayed for a year. At one time, the conractor did not pay the subcontractor.

DBKL spends RM 180 million a year on solid waste in KL. For over 30 years, most of KL's rubbish has been dumped in Jinjang North. Even today, the only transfer station that runs on RM 50 million a year is in Jinjang North. The rubbish is processed at the station. Then, it is transported to Bukit Tagar in Selangor. As the Federal Government has taken over the management of rubbish in the country, its disposal presents problems especially illegal dumpings. Truly, we need a more efficient management of solid waste in KL.

DBKL should announce the number, cost and solution to abandoned or delayed projects in the city. For example, People's Square in Pudu and the Kuala Lumpur International Radio Control Circuit at Metropolitan Park in Kepong. The circuit project started at the beginning of 2007 in the biggest public park managed by DBKL. The fencing is spoilt and clear water collecting in tins and pails, breeding Aedes mosquitoes. KL is short of land.

There must be genuine efforts to ensure that vacant land and green lung are used properly. Now, trespassers misuse some of these spaces. DBKL appears hlepless.

Drug continues to be a serious threat. Its trafficking and addiction remain major problems. DBKL must double its efforts to help contain the menace.

Re: Re : Originating Petition No. D2-26-41 OF 2001 ;
Lim Choi Yin v. McLaren Saksama (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd


Yang Mulia,

I read your address to the conference of judges at the Marriot Hotel, Putra Jaya, and I have to say that if your wish for an independent judiciary is progressed along the path that you had enunciated in your speech, then Malaysia will indeed REGAIN the respect & trust in the Malaysian Judiciary that was the admiration of all of South East Asia.

The present state of the Malaysian Judiciary is the laughing stock of the world and if I might add, the state of the Malaysian Judiciary today can only be rivalled by the standard of Administration of the LAW & JUSTICE THAT EXIST IN INDONESIA. Forgive me for saying so, but there is a state of utter lawlessness prevailing in Malaysia. Judge Dato Zainon binti Mohd. Ali, who now sits on the bench of the Malaysian Court of Appeal, and who as the judge of 1st instance UNLAWFULLY AND ILLEGALLY STRUCK OFF MY WIFE’S ABOVE PETITION, the details of her criminal behaviour is fully documented in my blogg. At http://yapchongyee.blogspot.com. The details are too lengthy to discuss here; however, I can state that I graduated from the University of Singapore in Law in 1967 and I practised at the Malaysian bar from 1967 until I migrated to Australia in 1978.

Either through ignorance of the law relevant to issues raised in my wife’s petition, Judge Dato Zainon binti Mohd. Ali or that she intentionally DISREGARDED the provisions of the law relevant to my wife’s case or even more heinously she acted CORRUPTLY, Judge zainon binti Mohd. Ali committed several criminal offences while adjudicating my wife’s case on the bench. This ridiculous turn of events must be unprecedented in all of history of the British Commonwealth (since we all share the same legal history).

I have written to the Chief Justice of Malaysia and I enclose a copy to this letter. I had written to the Chief Justice several times but I have never ever received ny replies. This is an official compliant so I do not see under what circumstances can the Chief Justice or the Attorney General can refuse to reply.

If Yang Mulia, is serious about what you said at the conference of Judges, then allow me to reiterate that even a JUDGE OF THE HIGHEST COURT OF MALAYSIA MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR COMMITTING CRIMES. Judge Zainon binti Mohd. Ali committed several criminal offences and must be held accountable for them.

As a demonstration of my good faith, IF UPON INVESTIGATION OF THE FACTS THAT I CHARGED JUDGE ZAINON BINTI MOHD. ALI WITH HAVING COMMITTED IS FOUND TO BE TRUE THEN IS IT NOT THE DUTY OF THE A.-G TO PROSECUTE JUDGE ZAINON BINTI MOHD. ALI ? In this event I will be available to defend myself in court. TO PROVE THAT MALYSIA WANTS AN INDEPENDENT JUDICIARY THAT IS ETHICAL, HONEST AND ADMINISTER THE LAW IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW, The Malaysian Attorney General can do the following, upon police investigation of the facts that I have charged her with :

(1) IF POLICE INVESTIGATION INTO MY CHARGES AGAINST JUDGE ZAINON ARE VALID AND THERE IS/ARE REASONABLE CAUSE TO CHARGE JUDGE ZAINON BINTI MOHD. ALI WITH COMMITTING CRIMINAL OFFENCES, THEN I WILL COME TO KL TO BEAR WITNESS,
OR

(2)If upon police investigation there is no basis for charging judge Zainon binti Mohd. Ali with criminal offences then obviously I have both libelled or more seriously for committing the more serious crime of SEDITION in with case the Malaysian Attorney General is under a duty to apply for my extradition to be charged in a Malaysian Court.

If Yang Mulia is serious about bringing change to the Malaysian Judiciary then this case is the most open demonstration of that resolve.



Yours Sincerely,


Yapchongyee

Although the elecction is over the reasons that I had advanced in the letter published below is even more relevant. I had advocated that Chinese & Indians should form themselves into a block of SWING VOTERS and with a solid base of 32% combined we minority willout vote the Malays anytime. We want equality among all races and that is what Anwar wants too.

I advocate the total & absolute destruction of MCA, GERAKAN & MIC; they are the sell outs and their are the problems for us Chinese because they are the co-conspirators for the marginalisation of the Chinese people.



CAMPAIGN FOR CHINESE & INDIANS NOT TO VOTE FOR
MCA , MIC AND GERAKAN

I call on my Chinese and Indian brothers NOT TO VOTE FOR MCA MIC AND GERAKAN, because a vote to any of these bloodsuckers is a vote for UMNO. We have lived under the UMNO government for more than 50 years and in that time we Chinese & Indians were led by those MCA, MIC & Gerakan traitors to our people. Malaysia today is the same Malaysia of 50 years ago; Malaysia is still RACE BASED and Chinese & Indians are at the rock bottom of the pile; we do not want to be the “sidekick” of UMNO. Chinese & Indians have been sold out to UMNO just so that a few political charlatan in MCA can become MINISTER and in MIC, this fucking Samy Velloo arsehole has been “MENTRI” for 30 years and he has become rich, while other Indians can hardly make ends meed.

There is a myth that our Chinese can do well in Bussiness, but that is only possible if Chinese are allowed to function in an environment of the level playing field, but Chinese people must admit to themselves that we Chinese are no miracle worker. We cannot do well if we are prohibited from operating fairly; AND UNDER THE DOMINATION AND OPPRESSION OF UMNO, we Chinese & Indians are fucking deprived of the simple opportunity to operate. WHATEVER GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS ARE AWARDED GOES TO MALAYS AND THE MALAY CONTRATOR KNOWS FUCK ALL ABOUT COMPLETING THE CONTRACT AND HE GOES TO FIND A CHINESE TO DO THE CONTRACT; this makes the Malay who knows fuck all TAKE THE LIONS SHARE OF THE PROFITS. What is worst is the fact the Chinese contractor seldom gets paid or if at all after a very long delay.

UMNO has become a Malay Masonic lodge of a small group of very privileged Malays who think nothing of corrupting the system to enrich themselves. I say to our Chinese & Indian comrades NOT VOTE MCA, MIC & GERAKAN because a vote to them is a vote for UMNO. The curse of UMNO has to be broken. UMNO is the DAM WALL that holds up progress of all Malaysians to wards a UNITED MALAYSIA of one people NOT THE DOMINATION OF MALAYS OVER THE MARGINALISED CHINESE & INDINS. This is the year when UMNO is led by a Prime Minister who sleeps at Parliamentary Sessions and this is the year that UMNO can be broken. I say to all our Chinese & Indian comrades to UNITE, and I say to those who would lead Chinese & Indians not to fight over “SEATS and for them not to seek “PANKAT” ( high social status ).

I read in this morning’s STAR.COM.MY a very powerful article written by a Malay (forget his name) and he argues along the same lines as I have argued in my blog at http://yapchongyee.blogspot.com, that our entire focus ought to be directed towards defeating UMNO in all ways that we can think of because it is UMNO that seeks to dominate and hold dictatorship over the Chinese & Indians. We need to concentrate all our efforts towards support of PAS, DAP and Keadilan. I have even gone to propose that dato Seri be the “OPPOSITION” SUPREMOE so that any overly ambitious persons who only wants “pankat” will be eliminated. Dato Seri must be trusted to DICTATE who is the most likely to win election for the constituency. Do not fight for “seats”. We are most interested to gain a FREE & JUST MALAYSIA FOR ALL MALAYSIANS AS ONE PEOPLE. To achieve this noble objective we need to OBLITERATE UMNO; a party that has for too long brought nothing but hardship to all Chinese & Indians. This fact is also known among Malays who do not have strong connection to powerful members of UMNO. Ordinary Malays do not get privileges; only those who have connection enjoy opportunities.

The first task for any new government that comes in on the ouster of the UMNO government IS TO REFORM THE JUDICIARY, so that Judges will enforce and faithfully apply the existing laws and not pervert the course of justice, as has been done today. Malaysia has a broken down 3rd rate and 3rd class, 3rd world judiciary; this is a pity because in the old days we could reply on our judiciary to deliver a just outcome, but not any more in todays Malaysia. There are several cases when Judges are found not to apply the law as they are obliged to do; but instead to act so obviously out side the law to achieve an agenda that is purely selfish and personal either for corrupt personal gain or to achieve what the government wants. I have written so many comments about the but it has gone unheard. It is indeed regrettable that those who destroy the judiciary, do not ven stop to think that when one has CONNECTION ONE GETS ONE’S WAY by perverting the law; but then they who do these perversion of the law do not bother to think that why they are out of office, the injustice and hardship may fall on them who subvert the professionalism and ethical conduct of the judges. A good example is that of Tun Mahatir, He has retired but a god will have it Tun Mahatir is working “over-drive” to GAIN JUSTICE AND THE RULE OF LAW, the sanctity of the rule of law, that he had subverted himself when he was PM.

The English Common Law that is the law of Malaysia does not need any drastic changes and there are adequate provision in our Malaysian Law to achieve justice according to law. There exist adequate provisions in English Criminal law to punish and remove judges for abuse of their powers; as for example my campaign to expose Judge Zainon binti Mohd. Ali for perverting the course of justice. She was the presiding judge in my wife’s petition and judge Zainon binti Mohd. Ali acted to aid & abet the respondents, Wong Kem Chen, Stephen Lim Cheng Ban and Kwong Sea Yoon to PERJURE & FORGE MY WIFE’S SIGNATURE AND JUDGE ZAINON BINTI MOHD. ALI knew that my wife’s and my charges are correct and true; and in spite of this knowledge she went on to act in a most ridiculous, shameful and ignorant manner, so much so that her actions became criminal and she in fact face criminal charges of the most serious kind. The most obvious charge arise from her awarding tow conflicting orders (1) ORDER for security for costs, which my wife paid (2) Order for striking out petition. These two orders oppose each other and they cancel each other out so that her actions restored the life of my wife’s petition. Judge Zainon binti Mohd. Ali in her ignorance of her own actions is GUILTY OF RETAINING MY WIFE/S RM,60,000 UNSANCTIONED BY LAW. Judge Zainon binti Mohd. Ali acting in conspiracy with Wong Kem Chen, Stephen Lim Cheng ban & Kwong Sea Yoon having to commit perjury and forgery to obtain the RM. 60,000 had jointly committed conspiracy to obtain money under false pretences because at the time that the 4 parties took the said RM.60,000, they all conspired to cause the striking out of said petition. In addition, by the action of Judge Zainon binti Mohd. Ali approving respondents’ application to STRIKE OUT PETITION, she had intentionally and deliberately refused to ENFORCE HER ORDER FOR SECURITY FOR COSTS, even after Petitioner had paid her RM.60,000 pursuant to her order to provide security for costs. Her two opposing orders was meaningless nonsense; and illogical. In short she had committed the offence of MALFEASANCE and upon conviction face expulsion from her judicial appointment.
