BUKIT LANJAN: Malaysians! Reject extremism, don’t let racial and religious bigots win the day

Malaysians, irrespective of race and religion, must continue to treasure national unity and harmony.

They must defend and uphold national unity and harmony to ensure their country’s continuous positive socio-economic progress.

“The political and social stability foundation must not only be solid, it must be further strengthened to enable Malaysia to drive forward progressively,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said.

Speaking at a Phor Tor Taoist devotees bimonthly community dinner held in conjunction with Wesak Day on May 10 in Desa Jaya, Syed Razak said all peace-loving Malaysians must continue to deny bigots out to create disunity via racial and religious slurs and activities.

“If the bigots win the day, it’s the day Malaysia has failed socially and economically. We must, therefore, not allow such bigots to get the better of the majority.

“We must remain united as One Malaysians and help drive Malaysia forward by realising its full potential.This is still the single most important challenge to multi-racial, multi-ethnic and multi-religious Malaysia after 60 years of Merdeka (Independence),” he added.

Syed Razak, who is Gerakan’s nominee to contest N.37 Bukit Lanjan in the coming 14th General Election (GE14), said religious tolerance and mutual understanding and respect thus remain the key to national unity and stability.

In short, Syed Razak said, Malaysians must reject extremism, and not let extremists destroy national unity, peace and harmony.

The devotees community dinner was organised by the Selangor and Kuala Lumpur Zhong Yuan Desa Jaya Association (2009).

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 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...
