Fanning racial flames

Posted by omong on August 24, 2007

Ini hakikat kerana kita belum mencapai sikap tolak ansur dalam erti kata yang sebenar.

Tatkala orang Melayu banyak berkorban demi memelihara perpaduan dan kesejahteraan masyarakat berbilang kaum di negara ini, tetapi ada satu pihak pula cuba mengambil kesempatan untuk mempertahankan hak-hak kaumnya.

Setelah 50 tahun Malaysia mencapai kemerdekaan, pemilihan pekerja berasaskan bangsa dan bahasa tidak sepatutnya berlaku.

“Ini hakikat, orang Melayu yang mendapat tender kerja daripada kerajaan akhirnya terpaksa mengagihkan tender itu kepada pengusaha Cina yang menguasai jaringan.

Transport Ministry issues statement on Port Klang Free Zone

Posted by omong on August 24, 2007

The Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) management is confident of reaching 80% occupancy by 2012. 

General manager (business development) Chia Kon Leong said this would mean attracting 650 to 700 companies to invest in the 404ha PKFZ. 

“In 2010, PKFZ is expecting a total revenue of RM40mil and it would be a self-sustaining company by then,” he said. 

The Transport Ministry, in a statement, gave an assurance that PKFZ was an important national project and that the Government has agreed to provide a soft loan to PKA. The details are still being discussed.  

“PKFZ has received Government support as it will increase the cargo volume at Port Klang – the national maritime gateway – generate economic growth, create job opportunities and encourage supporting services,” it said. 

The statement added that the Government respected Jafza International’s change of policy and its decision to pull out of the agreement to manage PKFZ. 

“Jafza withdrawal was due to its new policy to hold equity in the free zones it manages,” said the statement.

All charges dropped against Zakaria, partners

Posted by omong on August 24, 2007

  All 37 charges against controversial Port Klang assemblyman Datuk Zakaria Md Deros and five of his business partners instituted by the Companies Commission (CC) have been withdrawn. 

The CC had taken Zakaria and the five to court by virtue of their position as directors of Harvest Court Industries Bhd and Titi Steel Sdn Bhd, which had contravened the Companies Act 1965. 

Each charge could be punished with a fine of up to RM30,000 and five years jail. 

They were charged for failing to notify of change of address, failing to hold annual general meetings, failing to submit financial statements and failing to submit profit-and-loss accounts. 

Mozni Sham Ahmad and Joseph R. Samuel who appeared for Zakaria, his partners and the two companies said the charges were withdrawn because the “outstanding problems had been settled”. 

Companies Commission’s prosecutor Azmil Haron told magistrate Fadzilatul Isma Ahmad Refngah that he had been instructed to withdraw the charges against the two companies and its directors.
