BUKIT LANJAN: Uphold spirit of caring and sharing for Malaysia’s progress and prosperity

Malaysians must continue to uphold the spirit of caring and sharing irrespective of race and religion to ensure Malaysia’s progressive and prosperous future.

And this spirit is the foundation for promoting and forging national unity to help stimulate nation-building activities and contributions.

“It is with these in mind that Gerakan, as a multi-racial political party, celebrates festivals with community charity programmes for all Malaysians,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said.

He said “there is absolutely no room for racial and religious bigots who only serve to fulfill their selfish agendas at the expense of national unity”.

Speaking on the sidelines of Gerakan’s annual Wong Seong Charity Chinese New Year goodies presentation to the poor and needy, Syed Razak said “Malaysians are suffering from fatigue, having to endure and tolerate the daily racial and religious slurs of extremists”.

“They are the ones who are damaging Malaysia’s international reputation and stature as a choice destination for investments. So much so, Malaysia is now even labelled as a haven for IS (Islamic State) terrorists.

“The problem is today compounded by domestic acts of bullying, threats and hooliganism,” he added.

Syed Razak, who is Gerakan’s nominee to contest N.37 Bukit Lanjan in the coming 14th General Election (GE14), said “Malaysians, particularly Bukit Lanjan residents, are urged to reject the extremists and their propaganda, defend all efforts to promote national unity”.

He said socio-economic progress would naturally follow “as long as rakyat dan negara (people and country) are solidly united as a force to strive continuously for positive development in all sectors”.

“Let’s all stop wasting time and energy on non-productive racial and religious bickering. Malaysians need to unite and contribute to positive nation-building via both direct and indirect activities, programmes and projects,” he added.

Syed Razak said: “Today it is a challenge to elected representatives, both assemblymen and MPs, to help check or stop racial and religious bickering.

“The rakyat (people) expect assemblymen to make it their top task to promote or forge national unity or good and positive neighbourliness.

“That’s because assemblymen are elected to serve their electorates to help resolve local community issues, organise and promote community programmes and projects for the general good of their neighbourhoods,” he added.

“Gong Xi Fa Cai” to all Malaysians!

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...
