YB Sim Tze Tzin's Press Release 31/10/2008

Dear Editors,

I would like to release a press statement on the Assemblyman State Allocation Spending. This is an effort to incorporate the spirit of Transparency and Accountability.The whole press release is as below. An Excel file and pie chart are also attached for the detail analysis of the spending.Thank you.

Press Release from The Office of YB Sim Tze Tzin, State Assemblyman of Pantai Jerejak.

For Immediate release

31th October 2008 : Pantai Jerejak ; Penang

YB Sim Tze Tzin, State Assemblyman of Pantai Jerejak has allocated all the Constituency budget to the constituents. The allocation is divided to four categories, Infrastructure (61 %), community activity (9%), Educational / Books (9 %), Supplies (20%). The ultimate objective of this allocation is to create a holistic improvement of the living quality in Pantai Jerejak.

Allocation to Infrastructure ranks the highest at 61 %, total amount RM 61200, this allocation are mainly spent on drainage system, that amounting to RM 20,000 where by drains will be built at Kg. Sg. Nibong Tengah & Kg. Sg. Nibong Kecil because the two areas in DUN Pantai Jerejak are the most flood prone areas, due to imbalance development of the surrounding especially at Bukit Jambul, where rain water fails to be absorbed into the ground but flows directly into the low lying village of Kg. Sg. Nibong Tengah & Kecil.


Another RM9400 is spent on installing lights around Jalan Tengah Flats and Sri Nibong Housing area, due to the rising number of robbery and snatch thief cases.The spotlight will light up the whole area and make it safer for the residents. According to the Chairman of Taman Sri Nibong Me Michael Yong, more than six robbery cases has occurred in June alone, he said "People are terrified, and dare not come out even in the evening" .


YB Sim believes that prevention is better than cure, and he is using the concept of "Fighting Crime through Environmental Design". Thus, he has come out with this idea to deter criminals. When the areas are well lit, it will deter criminal.Another RM 20000 is spent on constructing walkways of Jalan Pantai Jerejak 13 opposite the padang. YB Sim wants to fufill his election pledge for the residents there who complained to him about the bad walkway pavement conditions when he was campaining during the 12th General Election. He also would like to thank the voters there by doing something meaningful to them. The second highest spending is on "Community Supplies" at 20%, RM 20100, the money is allocated to purchase necessities and utensils for Resident Associations, Sport Clubs, Suraus, Churches and Temples.


Pantai Jerejak being one of the most well developed area of Penang in the aspect of, commerce and technology, the spiritual and community aspect of society need the same amount of attention as well. The supplies to these organizations will help them to organize basic community activities and further improve community development.It is noted that YB Sim has spent substantial amount of money on "Educational and Knowledge Development" . A total of RM 9400 equaivalent of 9% were spent on buying books for the Bayan Baru Market MPPP Library. This is considering a major agenda of YB Sim to create a "reading and knowledge community". Education can help uplift society from poverty. Pantai Jerejak, despite being known as an affluent area city, is also home to one of the biggest urban pioneers colony, where by they live in very poor and deprived condition.


Thus YB Sim hopes that with new books given to the library which is only walking distance from their homes, the education of these children will not be deprived. He also hope that, by providing books and creating a reading environment, the community will improve and become a knowledge community and eventually become an intellectual and educated community.A comprehensive selections of text books, magazines, book of general knowledge and literature will be supplied to the libraries. YB Sim plans to allocate more and more books to the entire constituent for years to come.

Khairy wants debate, Mukhriz says no

THE scathing criticisms on Khairy Jamaluddin and Mukhriz Mahathir by supporters from opposing camps in the past weeks were just the appetisers.
Now that these two have garnered the required votes to challenge for the Umno Youth Chief leadership, the real battle has begun.

The Son in Law-look more indipendent

Though a third candidate has qualified - former Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo - he doesn't seem to be in the firing line of the other two.


The first salvo came from Mr Khairy, otherwise known as PM Abdullah Badawi's son-in-law.
Predictably, he took aim at his arch rival, Mr Mukhriz, a Jerlun MP and Dr Mahathir Mohamad's son.
On Monday, he poured scorn on Mr Mukhriz, 44, who turned him down for a public debate.
Mr Khairy, the current Umno Youth deputy chief, told Bernama the debate was not for quarrelling.
He insisted it was to provide an avenue for those who qualified for the post to explain their vision.
Said the Rembau MP: 'I am disappointed that Mukhriz is not interested in having an open debate.
'He has made up his mind and there is no point talking about him now,' he told New Straits Times.
'The candidates will only be debating, not tearing each other down. We will debate like gentlemen on issues, facts and opinions. There will be no personal attacks.'
Only Dr Khir has agreed to participate.
It is understandable to see why this debate is important to Mr Khairy.
The one-time 'most powerful 28-year-old' became the underdog because by Sunday, Dr Khir who had been languishing in third place, had not only closed the gap between the top two, but had caught up with Mr Khairy, said The Star.

Daddy Son

Mr Mukhriz has surged ahead with 67 nominations, with Dr Khir and Mr Khairy bagging 47 nominations each.
And Mr Mukhriz's seemingly unstoppable surge in the nominations race for the Umno Youth leadership prompted The Star to describe him as 'some sort of Michael Phelps - unbeatable - as they said of the swimming star during the Beijing Olympics'.
Spurning Mr Khairy's invitation, he told NST it was not suitable for candidates to raise party matters out in the open via a public debate.

Said Mr Mukhriz: 'Contesting posts in a party is an internal matter. This is like a family contest. It is not necessary to draw external attention.
'A public debate will only undermine efforts to strengthen the party, especially if the issues brought up are sensationalised by the opposition.'
Well, he has reason to be confident. Umno delegates reportedly cheered when his name was mentioned for candidacy while Mr Khairy's name was met with 'boos'.
Still, if well executed, such a debate could be Mr Khairy's ace card of charming the masses and trouncing his arch rival. It would be, as he said, a chance for him and others to 'know what their leaders' stands, ideas and abilities are'.

Like boxing match

Already, Malaysian newspapers have likened this battle to a verbal boxing match.
The Malay Mail referred to it as 'games' with set 'rules' and 'players' who have passed the 'preliminary rounds'.
It said Mr Mukhriz goes in with a clear-cut 'brave enough to change' tagline, while Khairy is standing behing the tag of a leader for all Malaysian youths. Dr Khir's stand is a bit unclear but going by what he has been doing, he seems to be going on a broader platform of 'anything and everything goes'.

So aggressive is Mr Khairy in getting a debate going, you might be forgiven to think a real punch-up was about to take place.

For example, responding to a question of whether this debate would be taped or televised, he said: 'I am open to anything. I just want to know the time, date and venue and I'll come.'
He rated his chances as 'okay.', adding that he 'look(s) forward to campaigning hard'.
The debate idea drew mixed reactions from Umno supreme council members.
Supporting it, Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar, even suggested it be implemented for those eyeing senior positions like the Umno deputy presidency, Wanita, Youth and Puteri chief posts.
Throwing caution, Datuk Shahidan Kassim stressed that it should be done behind closed doors 'for Umno members in a family spirit'.

Whatever the case, Mr Mukhriz should not be smiling yet. Some delegates fear the long campaign period to the March elections could be marred by money politics and dirty tactics - the end result could be vastly different.

What about Mr Khairy?

As far as PAS-owned Harakah newspaper is concerned, the end of PM Abdullah's reign will weaken Mr Khairy's influence.
In its commentary, it said: '..those who reign should not forget, that however powerful one may be now, however slick one's politics are, it is best to remember the saying, sepandai-pandai tupai melompat, akhirnya jatuh ke tanah juga (even the squirrel who is an expert jumper can fall to the ground).'

Malaysia's Anwar demands investigation into Eurocopter dealBy Channel NewsAsia's

Msia's Anwar demands investigation into govt's plans to buy helicopters

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's opposition, led by Anwar Ibrahim, is demanding an investigation into the defence ministry's plans to buy several helicopters. He is asking for a royal commission to be set up. Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi announced on Tuesday that the purchase of 12 helicopters from Eurocopter would be deferred to 2011.

His government is reprioritising its spending amid the global financial crisis. Speaking in parliament on Wednesday, the opposition said there were irregularities in the defence procurement. They also pressed for an emergency motion to discuss the US$470 million purchase, which they claimed was way above the market average. Lim Kit Siang, Opposition, Democratic Action Party (DAP), said: "It must be a shotgun deal because the letter of intent must have been issued early this month after the announcement by Pak Lah of approval and maybe in less than two weeks, you have this cancellation. Something seems to be very extraordinary."

The opposition is holding Deputy Prime Minster Najib Razak responsible. The letter of intent to purchase the 12 cougar helicopters was issued to Eurocopter two days before he switched defence portfolio with the prime minister last month. But the public accounts committee, which began its investigation into alleged impropriety, said everything had been done in an orderly fashion. Azmi Khalid, chairman, Public Accounts Committee, said: "Up to now, the technicalities from what we saw were not professionally done, but I'm not going to comment."

Mr Najib who is now the Finance Minister maintains that the purchase was necessary to replace the ageing fleet of Nuri helicopters. He has proposed extending the repayment period with Eurocopter instead of deferring the purchase. Meanwhile the supplier Eurocopter, which is a wholly-owned division of European Aeronautic Defence and Space, is optimistic about the deal. It maintained that negotiation is still ongoing, despite the latest controversy plaguing the sale. - CNA/vm

DIALOGUE SESSION ON WOMEN AND RELIGION
_______________________________________________________________________________________
We refer to the above matter.
2. In a multicultural and multi religious country like Malaysia, it is paramount that general issues like the women issues which traverse across boundaries of religions, ethnicity and culture be understood in order to prevent further misunderstanding and chaos. These issues such as violence against women, sexual crimes, honor killing and marital conflicts have been discussed time and time again from various perspectives. The women’s committee from Pertubuhan Jamaah Islah Malaysia (JIM), an Islamic NGO, is organizing a dialogue session on women and religion to further explore these issues from the perspectives of the major religions in this country.
3. This invitation is also extended to the members of your association as participants in that dialogue (a minimum 20 person would be most welcome). We would also appreciate your prompt reply.
Thank you for your cooperation. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any queries. Herewith we enclosed tentative programme.
