BUKIT LANJAN: Let the lights continue to shine for Malaysia! Happy Deepavali!

https://youtu.be/kg8BDJm9fCc (VIDEO: Happy Deepavali 2017)

Deepavali, a global festival celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs and Jains, is known as the festival of lights that bring goodness and replaces all the darkness.

Like all other festivals in this world, Deepavali is also a celebration of friendship, family and fellowship.

I wish to remind all Malaysians, irrespective of race, creed or religion, that we are all Malaysian First in our beloved multi-racial multi-religious nation.

Our loyalty to Malaysia is undivided and unreserved.

And national harmony and unity hinges on two factors – mutual respect and tolerance – that must be upheld and defended by all Malaysians.

This nation that we love is built by Malaysians and that includes the minorities.

That the minorities contribute some 90% of income tax for the federal government to develop Malaysia speaks volumes of their contributions to nation-building.

Happy Deepavali Malaysians!


Here are a few shots of Happy Deepavali banners put up in Bukit Lanjan

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...
