BUKIT LANJAN: 1Malaysia harmony still very much alive but antics of racial, religious bigots must be checked

The 1Malaysia spirit of multi-racial multi-religious Malaysians living harmoniously and respecting each other’s religion and culture is still very much alive.

The antics of racial and religious bigots, who are wreaking havoc and threatening national unity, are still a minority but they are surely a growing threat to peace-loving Malaysians.

“The bigots must be checked to ensure that they do not succeed in destroying peace and harmony in Malaysia,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said.

“I was most touched and relieved to see the Malay community eagerly and enthusiastically watching and recording the twin-lion dance at my Chinese New Year afternoon tea reception.

“This shows peace loving Malaysians are not easily influenced by the negative and insensitive utterances of racial and religious bigots.

“They reject any attempts by any quarter to drive a wedge to disunite Malaysians with sensitive racial and religious issues,” he added.

Syed Razak, who is Gerakan’s nominee to contest N.37 Bukit Lanjan in the coming 14th General Election (GE14), said the Malay community in Bukit Lanjan had shown they have no problems living harmoniously in a multi-racial society.

“Likewise, the majority of other Malaysians are also equally positively receptive to social community activities and programmes like this.

“This is really a powerful incentive for me to work hard and earn your trust to serve Bukit Lanjan with honesty and commitment,” he added.

Syed Razak said: “I will continuously raise issues of public concerns in cyberspace because this is one way to get the attention of the authorities concerned to react and rectify accordingly.

“Of course I would be more effective in serving the needs and interest of Bukit Lanjan constituents if I succeed in getting elected as your assemblyman in GE14,” he added.

Here’s a selection of pictures at Syed Razak’s CNY afternoon tea reception:

CreditKristian Helgesen/Bloomberg, via Getty Images Norway’s Wealth Fund Considers Divesting From Oil Shares By  CLIFFORD KRAUSS NOV. 16, 2017 Norway’s $1 trillion sovereign wealth fund is considering a divestment of holdings in international petroleum companies, a sign that even Europe’s dominant producer does not have full confidence in oil’s future. The recommendation on Thursday by the Norwegian Central Bank, which manages the fund, is potentially the biggest advance yet for a global fossil-fuel divestment campaign that has been promoted on college campuses and by environmental activists. It could also be a setback for the proposed initial public offering of the Saudi national oil company, known as Aramco, since the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund, the world’s largest, would be a potentiall...

BUKIT LANJAN: DOSH and all related construction authorities must buck up

BUKIT LANJAN: DOSH and all related construction authorities must buck up It is quite obvious that something is not very right with the way the Department of Occupational Health and Safety (DOSH) and all related construction authorities are monitoring work safety at construction sites. There have been quite a number of tragic and non-tragic incidents at construction sites recently and yet accidents continue to recur despite DOSH’s claims that it has set up safety committees to tighten inspections. Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said: “There was the woman who was crushed to death by a crane hook that fell on her Perodua Kelisa from 20 storeys up. “This was followed by the collapse of the KL Eco City pedestrian bridge that claimed a life. And now a crane has collapsed at the Bandar Damansara Perdana (BDP) construction site.” Syed Razak said such tragic and non-tragic mishaps at construction would not occur or could have been avoided if high and competent constr...
