UCAPAN BAJET 2010 NEGERI PAHANG

 Today at 12:16pm 

SEBAHAGIAN UCAPAN BAJET 2010 NEGERI PAHANG OLEH YAB MB PAHANG YANG SANGAT-SANGAT PERLU DIAMBIL PERHATIAN SERIOUS OLEH KERAJAAN PERSEKUTUAN !!!!

36.Kerajaan Negeri telah berusaha mengambil tindakan positif bagi mengekal dan memelihara khazanah hutan demi kepentingan negara dan generasi akan datang bagi menjamin sumber bekalan air mentah terus berkekalan. Pewartaan kawasan hutan sebagai kawasan tadahan air dilaksanakan selaras dengan kehendak dan dasar Kerajaan Persekutuan supaya kawasan hutan yang boleh menjamin sumber air mentah negara dikekalkan demi kepentingan semua pihak. Sehingga kini Kerajaan telah mewartakan kawasan hutan seluas 972,839 hektar sebagai kawasan tadahan air. Selaras dengan pewartaan tersebut, semua aktiviti pembalakan tidak dibenarkan. Penguatkuasa terus dipertingkatkan bagi mempastikan kawasan berkenaan tidak dicerobohi.

37. Kawasan hutan yang diwartakan itu mempunyai nilai komersil hasil hutan yang tinggi yang boleh menyumbang hasil kepada Kerajaan Negeri. Sekiranya lesen pembalakan dikeluarkan ke atas kawasan seluas 972,839 hektar itu, Kerajaan Negeri boleh mendapat hasil dari premium dan cukai pasaran melebihi RM28.1 bilion.

38. Saya ingin merayu disini, bahawa kesanggupan Kerajaan Negeri Pahang berkorban demi kepentingan negara dengan mewartakan kawasan begitu luas sebagai kawasan tadahan air, akan diberi perhatian serius oleh Kerajaan Persekutuan. Untuk makluman Dewan, jika semua kawasan hutan di Negeri Pahang dihapuskan, ianya bukan sahaja menjejaskan bekalan air di Negeri Pahang tetapi juga menjejaskan bekalan air ke Negeri Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Terengganu, Kelantan dan Perak kerana paras air sungai utama di negeri-negeri ini berpunca dari kawasan tadahan air di kawasan gunung-ganang dan bukit-bukau di Negeri Pahang.

39. Kerajaan Negeri telah memohon ehsan kepada Kerajaan Persekutuan sebanyak RM280 juta setahun sebagai balasan pengorbanan mewartakan kawasan hutan tadahan air, namun Kerajaan Persekutuan belum bersedia menimbangkan permohonan tersebut. Saya akan terus menyusul perkara ini dengan YAB Perdana Menteri. Marilah bersama-sama kita berdoa agar permohonan kita dipertimbangkan dengan sehabis baik.

Quotable quotes (YAB MB Pahang -part of the Budget Speech)

"Saya ingin meminta semua wakil-wakil rakyat berkhidmat bertungkus lumus untuk pengundi dan rakyat masing-masing. Dengan cara ini pengundi dan rakyat akan sentiasa menghargai sumbangan yang kita berikan. Kita perlu balik kepada asas; mengambil tahu masalah rakyat dan terus membela nasib mereka kerana kita juga adalah seperti mereka sebelum kita terpilih sebagai wakil rakyat dan akan menjadi semula sebahagian daripada mereka apabila kita tidak lagi menjadi wakil rakyat."

MCA crisis setting wrong precedents?

In all instances of associations registered under the Societies Act 1966, the highest authority governing the running of the associations shall be the AGM and the EGM. All decisions or resolutions reached at a properly convened AGM and EGM must be followed by the associations including its members.

In the case of the latest MCA crisis, an EGM had been properly and legally convened, restoring the membership of DS Chua Soi Lek but not his position as the Deputy President. DS Liow Tiong Lai had in the interim been appointed by the CWC to act as the Deputy President. It have to be made clear that such appointment on Liow can only mean an appointment to act as ACTING Deputy President.

The decision of the EGM reinstating Chua Soi Lek as a member of MCA must actually be followed with all the reinstatement of his position prior to the disciplinary actions taken against him. The EGM should have also resolved that Chua be put to status quo and that the decision to appoint Liow to the post of Acting Deputy President by the CWC should never have arisen at all. Unfortunately, during the EGM, none of the legally qualified members of MCA had thought of alternative resolutions in the event that Chua be reinstated as a member and the the disciplinary action against him revoked!

To get the Registrar of Societies to reinstate a person to a post in an association is making a mockery of the powers of the members as conferred by the Constitution of the Association. Such action shall only be taken if the EGM held was in the first placed convened in an illegal manner or in a manner against the constitution of the association.

As an a analogy, if members of an association had voted in either an EGM or AGM, as legally provided for in the Association's Constitution, to do away with the post Deputy President of that Association, the ROS have no right whatsoever to declare that the post be given back to the previous holder. The ROS must merely record such resolution and act in its regulatory duties to record such decision of the EGM or AGM of the Association in its proper register and nothing more!

Chua Soi Lek had by way of a properly convened EGM been given back his membership in MCA. The EGM convened should have proceeded further to vote for the reinstatement of his position to status quo i.e to the Deputy President post. It should have been done in same EGM by way of an alternative resolution either by the CWC itself or from the floor.

It was not done as it should have been, but to get the ROS to interpret the minds of the members present during the EGM, i.e if a vote was taken on putting Chua Soi Lek to status quo, will mean creating a bad precedent! The ROS must not step into the shoes of the members at the EGM!

DS Liow Tiong Lai must also be informed that his position as Deputy President was merely in an acting capacity. If the constitution of MCA states very clearly that the post of Deputy President shall be elected, then, the CWC shall have no authority to appoint safe in the appointment of an acting capacity in the even of a casual vacancy created in the manner it had happened to MCA.

It is not a question of whether the ROS is ready to go to court or not. It's a question of MCA not been given proper legal advice as to how to convene a proper EGM and the fact that they had never considered alternative resolutions as in alternative prayers when lawyers plead their cases in Court.

New landscaping

It definitely looks great but at the expense of parking spaces...

How about converting these into parking spaces?

I think it is much cheaper! Well, I might be wrong? Or was it done on purpose? Thank you and may Allah bless you always!
