 BUKIT LANJAN: United we stand, divided we fall!


Although Islam is the official religion of Malaysia, the Federal Constitution also guarantees freedom of religion and practice.

As a multi-racial multi-religious nation, racial and religious harmony is of utmost importance for Malaysia to remain peaceful and united.

“This is why I am making an effort to attend this (Chinese) Phor Thor (Hungry Ghost Festival) annual dinner in Taman Desa to help forge community and national harmony,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said.

Speaking on the sidelines at the Perayaan Zhong Yuan Desa Jaya Kuala Lumpur & Selangor 126-table dinner in SJK(C) Desa Jaya, Kepong on Sept 19, 2017, Syed Razak said the sluggish global economy had made it even that much more challenging for Malaysians and Malaysia.

“We can only overcome the obstacles and challenges by working together as 1Malaysians, not race or religion. Let’s not mix race, religion and culture with politics or economic interests,” he added.

Syed Razak, who is Gerakan’s nominee to contest N.37 Bukit Lanjan in the coming 14th General Election (GE14), said “we must all subscribe to the idiom that “united we stand, divided we fall”.

“And the only way forward for Malaysia is for Malaysians to help contribute to nation-building by remaining united. This means we must help forge and strengthen national unity and harmony,”he added.

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...
