BUKIT LANJAN: There’s no room for racial and religious bigotry in festivities


BUKIT LANJAN: There’s no room for racial and religious bigotry in festivities

Putting up banners, buntings or posters for festive greetings has become a norm in Malaysia.

Be it individuals or companies wishing to extend such greetings, the contents of the greetings have come under closer scrutiny today.

“When we live in multi-racial multi-religious communities and country, national harmony and unity become the top priority for Malaysia,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said.

“Malaysia can never prosper socially and economically if there is no harmony and unity in its communities,” he added.

“We have seen how, in the past, Malaysians celebrate together the various festivities. We enjoy the holidays together, share the joy and goodies together in open houses.

“We must uphold this tradition of celebration at all cost. It is the foundation to a sustainable and progressive national or community unity to ensure a happy and prosperous Malaysia,” Syed Razak said.

Syed Razak, who is Gerakan’s nominee to contest N.37 Bukit Lanjan in the coming 14th General Election (GE14), said: “That is why my banners read wishing to all Malaysians.

“We all enjoy the goodies, holidays and celebrations together. There is absolutely no room for racial and religious bigotry. We are all Malaysians First.”

Syed Razak urged Malaysians to reject those who resort to hooliganism and fear tactics to divide the people and country.

“They are only threatening and jeopardising national unity. They cannot be allowed to succeed with their agenda, for the sake of Malaysians and Malaysia,” he said after putting up Christmas and New Year greeting banners in Bukit Lanjan.

The banners read: “Wishing all Malaysians a joyous Christmas & A Happy New Year 2017 - Peace & goodwill to all mankind”

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 potentially la

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
