GOMBAK, 1 SEP: Kerajaan Negeri akan merampas tanah yang digunakan pihak tertentu bagi menjalankan aktiviti pembuangan sampah haram di Kampung Sungai Pusu, di sini, selepas tempoh prosiding berakhir, 5 September ini.

Dato’ Menteri Besar, Mohamed Azmin Ali, berkata tindakan bakal diambil Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan (PBT) jika operasi itu tidak dihentikan dan kawasan enggan dibersihkan daripada aktiviti berkenaan.

“Proses merampas sudah bermula dengan Majlis Perbandaran Selayang (MPS) mengeluarkan Notis 7(B) dan mereka diberi tempoh 21 hari untuk menjalani prosiding terbabit.

“Jika mereka tidak memulih dan membersihkan kawasan tanah ini sehingga tempoh itu, maka pihak berkuasa akan merampasnya,” katanya kepada media selepas operasi terjah khas, di sini, hari ini.

Mohamed Azmin berkata, ia adalah usaha bagi menjamin Selangor menjadi negeri bersih iaitu aduan diterima berkenaan sampah domestik, pukal, kebun dan industri terlalu besar.

Katanya, program terjah dijalankan di beberapa kawasan PBT hari ini bermula di Subang hingga Selayang mendapati terdapat masalah perlu diselesaikan segera.

“Peruntukan undang-undang sahaja tidak mencukupi kerana apa yang ada masih longgar dan tidak dapat memastikan perkara ini ditangani dengan baik.

“Saya berharap PBT dan pejabat daerah dapat memainkan peranan bersama Adun supaya menggunakan ketegasan mengikut undang-undang kecil yang ada serta penguatkuasaan untuk memastikan perkara ini tidak berulang,” katanya.

Beliau berkata, program terjah akan terus dijalankan bagi menangani masalah seperti itu dan pendekatan terbabit dilihat mampu mengurangkannya dari semasa ke semasa.

“Bagi pembuangan sampah domestik di kawasan dibenarkan, kita ada di Bukit Tagar, Jeram dan beberapa lokasi ditetapkan.

“Kita juga sedang mengenalpasti tapak pembuangan sampah industri di setiap PBT supaya tiada pergerakan terlalu jauh membabitkan kontraktor.

“Langkah ini sedang dan akan terus diambil. Apa yang pasti kita perlukan kerjasama daripada kontraktor,” katanya.

Dalam operasi hari ini, dua buah lori dipercayai membawa sampah haram dirampas dan beberapa kawasan bermasalah dikenalpasti untuk tindakan susulan.

Dato’ Menteri Besar, Mohamed Azmin Ali, berkata projek Rumah Selangorku terbaru itu adalah komitmen berterusan Kerajaan Negeri bagi memenehuni permintaan tinggi rakyat.

“Berdasarkan keadaan nilai ringgit merosot dengan suasana ekonomi gawat hari ini, maka permintaan Rumah Selangorku bukan sahaja mendesak kepada mereka berpendapatan rendah tetapi juga meningkat dalam kalangan mereka berpendapatan sederhana.

“Sekali lagi, Kerajaan Negeri menyambut cabaran ini untuk membina lebih banyak Rumah Selangorku dan sudah tentu peranan PKNS amat besar selaras dengan matlamat asal penubuhannya menjana pertumbuhan baru serta mengagihkan kekayaan negeri kepada rakyat,” katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian ketika berucap pada majlis pelancaran berkenaan di Dewan Beringin, Taman Sri Gombak, di sini.

Hadir sama, Exco Perumahan, Pengurusan Bangunan dan Kehidupan Bandar, Datuk Iskandar Abdul Samad; Pengurus Besar PKNS, Azlan Md Alifiah dan Pengarah Eksekutif LPHS, Norzaton Aini Mohd Kassim.

Projek terbaru PKNS itu membabitkan Pangsapuri 12 tingkat dengan 418 unit yang bakal dijual bermula pada harga Rm165,000 seunit mengikut keluasan tapak.

Sementara 29 unit diperuntukkan khas kepada 29 peneroka asal Kampung Seri Temenggung pada harga RM65,000 seunit dan 10 unit lagi dikhaskan kepada Orang Kelainan Upaya (OKU).

Setiap unit bakal menampilkan reka bentuk moden dengan keluasan lantai 850 kaki persegi (kps) serta dilengkapi tiga bilik tidur dan dua bilik air.

“Kalau teliti harga pasaran, rumah seumpama ini bernilai lebih RM300,000 seunit. Maka, mereka yang memiliki Rumah Selangorku ditetapkan untuk tidak menjual hartanah itu sekurang-kurangnya dalam tempoh 10 tahun kerana kita tidak mahu sebarang spekulasi hartanah sehingga menyebabkan harga tidak dapat dikawal,” katanya.

Sebelum ini, PKNS melancarkan 1,977 unit rumah mampu milik di lima kawasan berbeza seperti di Bukit Botak, Seksyen 3, Bandar Baru Bangi, Antara Gapi, Seksyen U12 di Shah Alam serta Seksyen 5, Kota Puteri.

Only a major change in the country’s leadership can stop the ringgit’s slide and prevent Malaysia from political and economic disaster, Selangor Menteri Besar Mohamed Azmin Ali said today.

The PKR deputy president also said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak was “fooling” the public by blaming the ringgit’s loss in value to the US dollar on “political play”, instead of taking responsibility.

“The prime minister’s statement yesterday that ‘the existence of political play and intense speculation has resulted in an uncertain sentiment towards the administration’ is clearly aimed at pointing the blame on our ringgit fiasco on others but himself.

“Nothing short of major changes in leadership and the political equation can halt the slide as well as save us from the brink of national disaster,” Azmin said in a statement today.

The ringgit hit a low of 4.0725 to the US dollar this morning after crude oil prices fell below US$42 (RM171) a barrel, The Edge Markets had reported.

But it has also been Asia’s worst-performing currency, hitting a 17-year low of 4.1180 last Friday, made worse by ongoing political turmoil over investigations into state government firm 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) that investors say is affecting confidence.

Azmin today said people were not fooled by Najib’s “grandstanding” and public relations “sound bites”.

The ringgit is likely to remain weak so long as political uncertainties continue.

“The prime minister must therefore stop this charade of pretending that it is business as usual and that he can continue to lead the nation out of the mess by merely dismissing his deputy and appointing new ministers to shore up support for him,” he said, referring to Najib’s recent move to reshuffle his Cabinet by dropping those critical of his handling of 1MDB.

Najib is also finance minister and chairman of 1MDB’s advisory board.

Azmin said Najib has failed to come clean on 1MDB’s financial scandals involving debts of RM42 billion, and especially the RM2.6 billion in his accounts from a political donor, and their impact on the nation.

He said there were indeed external factors causing the ringgit’s fall, such as drop in oil prices, a likely increase in US interest rates, and China’s depreciation of its yuan.

“But these factors are affecting other currencies in the region as well. The question is why is our ringgit the hardest hit among all the major regional currencies?” Azmin said.

He added that recent moves such as the disbanding of Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) as a result of the Cabinet reshuffle, and the apparent obstruction of anti-graft investigators probing into a 1MDB-linked company, had also given the appearance of collusion and conspiracy in the government, which worsened negative perceptions on the country’s leadership. – August 14, 2015.

Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali has slammed Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak for blaming others but not himself for the ringgit’s plunge in value against the US dollar.

Commenting on Najib’s statement yesterday that ‘… the existence of political play and intense speculation has resulted in an uncertain sentiment towards the administration’ Azmin said this was clearly aimed at pointing the blame on the ringgit fiasco on others but not on the premier.

“The prime minister must stop pulling wool over the people’s eyes concerning the causes for the ringgit’s plunge which has made it Asia’s worst-performing currency this year,” the Selangor menteri besar said in a statement today.

Azmin, who is also PKR deputy president, pointed out Najib had failed to mention that the ‘uncertain sentiment’ was very much linked to the financial scandal, in relation to the RM2.6 billion purportedly transferred into the prime minister’s personal accounts.

Apart from this, the appearance of ‘collusion and conspiracy’ at high places to interfere with the independent investigations of the task force, the disbanding of the PAC and the obstruction of the MACC in its investigations are the major factors compounding the negative perceptions on the country’s leadership, said Azmin.

Admitting that adverse external circumstances are partly responsible such as the decline in commodity prices including oil, the anticipated increase in the US interest rates, and the ongoing depreciation of the Chinese yuan, Azmin however pointed out that these factors were affecting other currencies in the region as well.

“The question is why is our ringgit the hardest hit among all the major regional currencies?

“The prime minister must therefore stop this charade of pretending that it is business as usual and that he can continue to lead the nation out of this mess by merely dismissing his deputy and appointing new ministers to shore up support for him.

‘Don’t interfere in Bank Negara’

“No one is fooled by his grandstanding and press relations soundbites. The ringgit is likely to remain weak so long as political uncertainties continue.

“The perception is that nothing short of major changes in leadership and the political equation can halt the slide as well as save us from the brink of national disaster,” said Azmin

Despite Najib’s assurance last night that efforts would be made to address the country’s sliding currency, the ringgit today has seen a sharp plunge.

As of 11.10am, the ringgit stood at RM4.1223 to a US dollar, a decline of 2.3 percent from the opening index.

This is down from a high of RM3.1415 to a US dollar in the last year.

On Bank Negara governor Zeti Akhtar Aziz’s (photo) ’emergence’ from her ‘sudden disappearance’, Azmin told the government to stop interfering with her duties.

“Regardless of the supposed approval given by the governor to question her officers, we condemn the unwarranted exercise of such powers which under the circumstances was tantamount to interfering in the then ongoing Bank Negara investigation,” he said.

Zeti yesterday confirmed that seven Bank Negara officers had been probed by the police so far for purportedly leaking information from its investigations on the 1MDB issue.

This followed police investigation and raids against seven MACC officers over the same issue. The investigation has since been suspended.

Rumah setingkat sepenuhnya daripada teknologi Sistem Binaan Berindustri (IBS) itu dibina atas tanah seluas 6.99 ekar di Daerah Olak Jeram, Jajahan Kuala Krai dan dijangka siap sepenuhnya menjelang Ogos ini.

“Kita ingin menyiapkan projek ini lebih awal tetapi ada beberapa keperluan perlu diselesaikan sebelum pemaju dapat memulakan kerja tapak.

“Setiap unit bernilai RM62,000 tidak termasuk prasarana seperti jalan raya dan kolam takungan banjir bagi menjamin kesejahteraan serta keselamatan penduduk di perkampungan ini,” katanya.

Mohamed Azmin berkata, Selangor komited menyatakan solidaritinya membantu Kelantan membangunkan negeri itu walaupun sumbangannya tidak seberapa.

“Selangor berasa gembira dapat bekerjasama dengan kerajaan yang mengamalkan pentadbiran bersih, adil dan sentiasa menjadikan prinsip kepedulian rakyat sebagai teras.”

“Hubungan terjalin ini bukan sesuatu yang baru, tetapi ia amat utuh dan penuh komitmen untuk bersama menjamin keadilan sosial rakyat,” katanya.

PETALING JAYA, May 18 — Selangor Mentri Besar Azmin Ali called on Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak today to take more proactive action as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) chair and to table a parliamentary motion to resolve the Rohingya refugee crisis.

“I ask the PM as Asean host to make a more effective statement and take a stern stand in Parliament this round on the matter,” Azmin told reporters after launching the Invest Selangor Berhad here today.

“We cannot just leave them on the boats just like that as many problems will arise in the long term. As Asean chair, we should be more focus on resolving this matter immediately,” the Gombak MP added.

National news agency Bernama reported Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak as saying Saturday that Malaysia must not be burdened with the “problem” of Rohingya refugees as it is an issue which needs to be addressed collectively by all Asean countries.

International newswire AFP reported that Myanmar, however, has rejected Thailand’s call for a regional summit on the migrant crisis on May 29, saying it was not their problem.

Migrant activists estimate that some 8,000 Bangladeshi and Rohingya remain stranded at sea after people smugglers abandoned ship following a Thai crackdown on human trafficking.

International newswire AFP reported yesterday diplomats and analysts as saying that Asean’s pledge of non-interference and its failure to curb Myanmar’s systematic abuse of the Rohingya — who suffer state-sanctioned discrimination and are denied citizenship despite having lived in Myanmar for generations — have contributed to the migrant crisis in the region.

Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia have been turning away boats of migrants back out to sea as the International Organisation of Migration reportedly criticised the Southeast Asian nations for playing “maritime ping-pong” with people’s lives.
