BUKIT LANJAN: Don’t give up hope to be rakyat Malaysia!

Malaysian citizenship applicants are urged not to give up hope in their quest to be rakyat Malaysia.

Even a 106-year-old was so thrilled, emotional and happy to be granted citizenship with the help of a Gerakan Special Task Force For Citizenship.

“Never give up. Always have faith because there are many who were granted citizenship after 50 to 60 years,” Gerakan president Mah Siew Keong said.

Mah, who is also Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister, said Gerakan pledged to continue to strive to help every single eligible applicant to become Malaysian.

He said: “This is the fifth such successful presentation of letters of approval for Malaysian citizenship by our task force which was set up about two years ago after a discussion with the prime minister and his deputy.

“The task force’s priority is to help Chinese senior ‘citizens’ (aged 70 and above) to secure citizenship. We have been criticised by certain quarters for doing so.

“Why not? They have contributed to nation-building in one way or another for so long. We should thank and care more for the elderly, not abandon them.”

However, Mah said the task force would also do it’s level best to help stateless children and others to secure citizenship as fast as possible.

“For now, the process of investigations and granting of citizenship has been reduced from two years to two months for those aged 70 and above,” he added.

At the presentation of letters of approval for citizenship to 11 new Malaysians at the party headquarters in Pudu Ulu on July 13, 2017, Mah also launched a Facebook page (Panduan Permohonan Kewarganegaraan Malaysia) to help guide applicants on the proper procedures to secure citizenship.

Task Force member Ben Liew, who is Gerakan’s nominee to contest N.22 Teratai in the coming 14th General Election (GE14), said 423 new Malaysians had been approved thus far.

“We have received 1,600 applicants to date. This task force meets monthly and has officials from Gerakan, Home Ministry, police and National Registration Department,” he said.

Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory Gerakan chairman Lau Hoi Keong, who is the party’s nominee to contest Ketari (Pahang) in the the coming GE14, is leading the party in the task force.

Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff, who is Gerakan’s nominee to contest N.37 Bukit Lanjan in the coming GE14, urged Chinese “citizens” who still carry a red MyKad to visit the Facebook page and contact the task force for help.

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...
