Pakatan vs Pakatan on Lynas issue

MORE ABOUT LYNAS ANYONE?

Non-Dr-non-scientist Fuziah of PKR said:

"I did not only consult the nuclear expert on this project. I had discussed with geologists, environmentalists, public health experts and many more.

"When we talk about Lynas we talk about all angles and not only from radiation or the nuclear aspect of it," she said.

NUCLEAR SCIENTIST DR.CHE ROSLI (of PAS) said,
Dr Che Rosli on the other has been firm in his view that Lynas was safe and that it should be allowed to continue as long as the company adhered to the stringent guidelines set by the authorities.

However, Dr Che Rosli played down the possibilities of having a debate with Fuziah, fearing that the issue will be politicised.

“Let her debate with the Atomic Energy Licensing Board instead. I don’t want to prolong the issue nor do I want it to be politicised,” the former head of Nuclear Science Department for Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia said.

In August last year Dr Che Rosli had criticised PKR and Pas’ news letter Harakah for misleading reports on Lynas.


In Islam, as the saying goes:

ADA KAH SAMA ORANG YANG BERILMU DENGAN ORANG YANG TIDAK BERILMU?

In another blog, THEUNSPINNERS posted this:

"Menurut Pensyarah Program Sains Nuklear Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia , Profesor Dr. Ismail Bahari, radiasi hanya membahayakan manusia apabila ia melebihi paras tertentu dengan 100 mSv boleh menyebabkan meningkatnya risiko mendapat kanser.

Menurut Profesor Dr. Ismail lagi operasi Lynas hanya akan menyebabkan pendedahan radiasi kepada orang awam sebanyak 0.002mSv setahun dan ia 10 kali lebih rendah berbanding pendedahan radiasi menonton televisyen selama empat jam sehari untuk tempoh setahun.

Ada faham ke Prufesok Fuziah Salleh dan cicak-cicak mengkarung PKR ? 10 kali lebih rendah dari menonton televisyen..

"Profesor Dr. Ismail juga berkata, pendedahan radiasi kepada paru-paru apabila merokok sekotak sehari setiap hari selama setahun adalah 150 mSv atau 75,000 kali ganda lebih tinggi berbanding pendedahan radiasi daripada operasi Lynas.

Penang Government and Its so-called Transparancy

Salam and greetings.
I made a little research by reading around the topic on the "rakyat-centred" development in DAP-held Penang:

So, what's with Penang BAYAN MUTIARA DEAL, you might ask.

Let us look at some comments and analyses:
(1)http://bigdogdotcom.wordpress.com/2012/02/13/bayan-mutiara-guanomics/

The Penang state government under Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng prides itself for its CAT (Competence Accountable and Transparent) principle that forms the cornerstone of its administration.

"Unfortunately in practice the application of this principles has been rather selective and only when it is convenient.

"In many instances the administration’s decisions and policies have been made in a very opaque and exclusive manner with little or no public consultation or information dissemination.

"Latest of such example is the controversial Bayan Mutiara deal that is currently being hotly debated in Penang.

"So what is with the discounted sale?

"Ivory Properties and DiJaya stand to gain the most from this. Even their share prices rose comfortably. It is reflective of the huge profitably potential these companies would realise from acquiring premium land parcel at BELOW market price."

" (A local bank-backed analysts) added that the choice of office towers in the development mix was surprising as the demand for office space in Penang was tepid.
"It makes no economic sense when PDC as a state GLC has been denied to develop the said property but instead the project was hastily sold off without realising its full economics gain, based on the recent transacted deal in the neighborhood. No clear minded decision maker would pass an opportunity to sell the asset knowingly it could make better gains. Especially if the 41.5 acres be subdivided into smaller parcels. This is Lim Guang Eng’s ‘Guanomics’.

"Development components will include luxury condominiums, medium rise condominiums, business suites, serviced residences, iconic office block, waterfront
entertainment city, commercial and retail spaces, waterfront villas, medical facilities and so on.

SO, WHERE do the ordinary middle-income and lower-income folks stand to gain as residents? Can they afford?


(2) More about the Bayan Mutiara Deal from 'STOP THE LIES" blogsite:

http://stopthelies.my/?p=989

"Several Penang-based analysts and local community leaders have questioned the Penang government for selling a 41.5ha plot of prime state land to a private developer, Ivory Properties Group Berhad, for RM1.07bil."

"Most private property projects on the island are focused primarily on premium and luxury property which have driven up prices beyond the reach of most Penangites."

"We do not want a repeat of high premium-reclaimed lands being sold to private developers who in turn inflate property prices in Penang and raked in billions in profit at the expense of the people."


So, DAP, which rakyat do you really take care of; the rich or the poor? the Chinese or the Malays? The capitalists or the 'others'?

Now It's Johore and the Malay Balachis

Here's an EDITED format from an interesting article from BIGCAT:

http://bigcatrambleon.blogspot.com/2012/02/cooking-lynas-style-nonsense-for.html

1."The latest report that I got was that the Pakatan people are now laying the groundwork to do so in Pengerang, Kota Tinggi.

2. "so, they just push their Malay balachis to do most of the dirty work. See. who said manipulation of racial sentiments is not a consideration among the Pakatan people?

3. "I am not yet sure how they are going to angle their attack. It could be on environment or land matters. Either way, they will try to cook it up to be another national issue like Lynas.

4. "Of course, just like Lynas, they can't stop the project but this is simply to stir up something.

5. "Johor has no real big issue, so this probably will do, so that they can have something to say during their ceramah or an excuse to initiate another publicity-attracting demo like the Lynas one.

6. "They know there is really nothing wrong with the project, but it's creating the negative perception that matter to them.

7. "They would never care that the RM200 billion investment of the project will generate economic growth of more than trillions of ringgit within 15 years.

8. "They would never tell the villagers in Pengerang that by that time, their children will have lots of employment opportunities from the economic growth, and that their children would not have to go far from their hometown to get a good job..."
