How inhumane can the Selangor State Government be?

Similarities between thieves and Kampung Rimba Jaya, Shah Alam squatters demolition;

(a) They come without notice or invitation,
(b) They come with a single objective,
(c) It's an action which has no options or alternatives,
(d) They come when the residents/occupants are still asleep and preparing for school/work i.e.
at 6 am in the context of squatters demolition
(e) They are not concerned about the welfare of the people but merely carrying out a task
instructed by their leaders/bosses who has that pot belly and comes in a Merc,
(f) They do not care about the emotional aspect of the occupants i.e. whether it is festive period,
children with examinations and etc.

Squatters are temporary occupants but such actions is of high handed. The State Government had stole the festive cheer off the "setinggan" where they are still in the Hari Raya mood whilst the fellow Indians are celebrating Deepavali in a fortnight's time.

Have the Ministry of Education arranged some special exam sittings for the students affected from Kampung Rimba Jaya?

View the destruction of Kampung Rimba Jaya here! This is truly a rakyat predicament against the almighty will of the authorities. We wonder if they would do the same had the State Exco (he sounds a real snob in that interview) have relatives living in that area?

It means a lot to an individual when a home had been taken away in such nature. The action is no difference then a thief taking away the happiness of the people from Kampung Rimba Jaya. It is time that rakyat do away with "thieves" who steals the taxpayers money and happiness!!!!

Next Malaysian Flight Participant/Astronaut

October 10, 2007, Malaysians rejoice at Dr Sheikh Muszaphar being the first Malaysian in space. It was truly achievement of sorts and it was a wise choice that Malaysian Government was quick to rectify the purpose of the space mission (captured in Wikipedia here) from this

The Star, November 15, 2006

The astronaut - yet to be selected - will play "batu seremban,'' or "five stones'' and spin traditional
Malay tops in space, Agriculture Ministry parliamentary secretary Rohani Abdul Karim told
parliament on Wednesday.

Rohani, who was replying on behalf of the Science, Technology and Innovations Ministry, said the
astronaut would also do batik painting and making teh tarik.

till a month later as reported in The Star, December 18, 2006

There will be no teh tarik-making or roti canai-tossing experiments in space for our Angkasawan
when he blasts off in October.

Instead, he will carry out at least 10 laboratory tests for serious research designed by 10 universities,
institutes of higher education and government science agencies.

Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jamaluddin Jarjis said the
experiments were important as “they will have an important impact on our local food and medical
industries”.

Rohani said the training programme for the Malaysian astronaut in Russia would not cost the Treasury a single sen BUT the cost is approximately USD26million (RM95 million) which was a project under the government-to-government offset agreement through the purchase of Sukhoi SU-30MKM fighter jets for the Royal Malaysian Air Force worth USD1billion. No free rides lah!

While the rocket was flying into space, veteran astronaut Captain Robert “Hoot” Gibson, who was a guest
at the event, had asked Science, Innovation and Technology Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jamaluddin Jarjis
who would be the next Malaysian cosmonaut.

Jamaluddin, who was in Kazakhstan, in turn asked Abdullah, who answered in jest that it would be
when Malaysia buys its next batch of (Russian) planes.

Jamaluddin then asked Abdullah whether he thought Dr Faiz would get to go to space.

Abdullah then told Jamaluddin: “When you see him next, convey our salam (greetings) to him and we
hope he will be the next angkasawan.”

So who will be the next Angkasawan from Malaysia? With Captain Dr Faiz remained a hopeful, my thoughts would be a 3 corner fight for the next Malaysian "astronaut"!
(a) Captain Dr Faiz Khaleed,
(b) a Malaysian "monkey" with high aspirations and
(c) an most traveled leader in Malaysian Government history.

Piggy Technology & Innovation

Is the piggy issue in Paya Mengkuang, Melaka resolved? The Pig Site have stories from worldwide on pork and pig industry (including the Melaka issue).

The real issue for the pig farm site was actually for industrial development and not about pollution although the pig farming has brought pollution to the area with "paid" protest ters being engaged in reinforcing the Melaka State Government's stand. Can the State Government stand up and ensure that the people within the vicinity won't be subjected to pollution from the industrial development???

Thai pig farmer Ong-Arj Suwunnatee has the answer here! Isn't that technology and innovation? This has been mentioned before in my Swine Bio-Gas.

With due respect to the multi-ethnic and religion, we are talking about moving forward and not seeking a easy solution of culling the pigs or reducing the number of pig rearing!. Moving forward in terms of how we can utilise the waste and translate into by products without discounting the environment and safety of people.

Will the State Government provide subsidies instead to allow the pig farmers to emulate Khun Ong-Arj Suwunnatee in the name of Melaka Maju Jaya?

In solidarity with Nordin bin Ahmad
