| Khalid playing hard ball because BN ain't got no ball...!! Posted: 18 Aug 2010 05:49 PM PDT Ini semua Khir Toyo punya honar.....rakyat yang kena tanggung!! Politics hampering Selangor water firms' consolidation By Neville SpykermanAugust 19, 2010SHAH ALAM, Aug 19 — Selangor has apparently reached a tentative agreement to buy all three state water treatment concessionaires for more than RM8 billion but Putrajaya is holding up the deal for fear it will keep the state in Pakatan Rakyat's (PR) grip in the next general election. It is understood that the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) is putting pressure on Puncak Niaga Holdings Bhd executive chairman Tan Sri Rozali Ismail to delay the deal but the tycoon is under pressure from investors to move on as they want to exit the industry. Putrajaya has also been talking of a state water crisis as early as 2012 unless Selangor agrees to an inter-state water pipeline deal with Pahang, which the PR government has balked until a federal-mandated water concessionaire restructuring exercise is carried out. "More than RM8 billion has been offered for Selangor to take over the business from the concessionaires under the consolidation exercise," a state source told The Malaysian Insider. State sources said the deal was hammered out at a meeting between Rozali, Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim and state economic adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim last May 11, which is ironically Umno's birthdate. Rozali's Puncak Niaga has a 70 per cent controlling state in Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Syabas) which holds the rights to distribute water to Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya. The other two concessionaires are Syarikat Pengeluar Air Sungai Selangor Holdings Bhd (Splash) and Konsortium Abass Sdn Bhd. The consolidation of these companies, under the Water Services Industry Act 2006, has been delayed ever since PR took over the state in 2008. Control over Selangor's water will enable Khalid's administration, in one stroke, to reduce tariffs and continue its free water policy. Both could potentially embarrass states under BN and boost PR's popularity ahead of the next general election. Khalid is playing hardball with Rozali and Putrajaya by delaying the massive inter-state water transfer project that will channel water from the proposed Kelau dam in Pahang to Selangor. Although a federal initiative, Selangor government approval is required for land acquisition for the project. DAP's Charles Santiago points out that the Japan Bank of International Cooperation is partly financing the project with a RM3.8 billion loan. But the Klang MP said payments have stop because there has been no progress in the project and that the federal government is under pressure from contractors to seek a deal with Selangor. Santiago said federal claims of a water shortage were being "manufactured" to compel the state to act. However, Khalid's administration maintains the country's wealthiest state had adequate supply till 2019. He has pointed out that the water transfer project was not urgent because the state had other untapped fresh water supplies including lakes and underground water. The state is also commissioning a new independent study on who much water is used and required. State officials said the Mexican stand-off between Selangor and Putrajaya and the continued wrangling will only further talk of water shortages for consumers in the Klang Valley as both sides harden their positions for a deal.  |
| Sapa kata sekarang lebih baik dari dulu. Posted: 17 Aug 2010 10:09 PM PDT  Ketika aku berusia lebih kurang 11-12 tahun, aku dah ada driver.Dandot (Zaihan), kawan aku yang tinggal tak jauh dari rumah aku...akan tercacak depan rumah... Pagi2 buta. Dia anak orang susah sementara aku ada basikal sendiri. Jadi disebabkan dia nak guna facility yang aku ada, dia kena kayuh basikal tu...dan aku duduk di belakang. Tiap2 hari begitu. Namun masa balik dari sekolah...aku bertukar jadi driver... Banyak kenangan semasa zaman kecil aku di Kg. Parit Semo itu... Aku biasa berlumba basikal dari Sekolah Keb. Kota Dalam sampai ke rumah (kira-kira 2 kilometer jaraknya) dalam keadaan jalan banjir. Bayangkan betapa penatnya kami semua. Aku tak fikir juara Le Tour De France seperti Lance Armstrong, Fabian Cancellera ataupun Miguel Indurain pernah melalui apa yang aku lalui. Tetapi saat itu amatlah menyeronokkan. Bermain gasing atau layang2 buatan sendiri adalah perkara biasa. Malah repair basikal atau menampal tiub basikal yang bocor adalah kerja rutin aku. Halaman rumah aku penuh dengan aktiviti riadah anak-anak seusia aku. Seolah2 stadium multi-purpose dengan berbagai jenis sukan diadakan serentak. Ting ting, bola rounders, galah panjang... you name it. Aku kecik2 tak pernah pergi tuisyen...tak ada kelas tambahan...tak ada tadika. Aku rasa kerja rumahpun tak ada. Kalau adapun agaknya tak pernah buat. Aku masih ingat, masa masuk sekolah darjah 1 satu hurufpun aku tak kenal. Satu nomborpun aku tak tau...Bila cekgu tanya siapa nak jadi ketua darjah, aku cepat2 angkat tangan. Kawan aku Fozi (orang Sabak Bernam) lagi teruk. Bila masuk darjah satu dia menghadapi masalah komunikasi. Apa idaknya, di rumah dia cuma cakap jawa. Masuk sekolah semua orang cakap melayu. Panik dia. Rupanya ada makhluk lain lebih teruk dari aku. La ni dia seorang kontraktor yang berjaya. Heran betullah....dengan tak tau apa benda tu....aku boleh kuasai semua tu dalam masa yang singkat betul. Apa sebabnya ya??? Aku ingat sebab masa tu tvpun tak ada. Entertaiment adalah hak cipta sendiri. Rezeki mak bapak berkat. Badan sihat tak ada chemical itu dan ini. Makan ayampun...ayam kampong. Tak ada injek sana sini. Kalau demampun paling kuat makan kortal. Aku ingat immunisasipun setakat injek bcg dengan ubat cacar saja. Abang2 aku rasanya tak ada tu semua. Kesian betul budak zaman sekarang. Sebelum 1972 (darjah 2) aku biasa pikul air dari telaga (jarak lebih kurang 50 meter) dari rumah. Air tu tu lah buat mandi...air tu lah buat minum. OK jer...Sekarang ni nak minum air direct dari paip pun tak berani. Apa punya turrr lah.?? Aku setakat luka-luka di lutut, siku, bibir dan mana2 fizikal badan tu biasalah. Tak heran langsung. Mak bapak akupun tak kisah sangat. Main sapu minyak urat multi-usage tu ajelah. Mana ada antibiotik ke amende. Paling canggih masa tu pun...kalau tak ubat warna biru...warna kuning. Kalau kudis...tabur pil (yang ditumbuk)....Namanya apapun aku tak ingat. Pergi sekolah bawak 5 sen. Kalau musim buah cempedak atau durian adalah tambah sikit. Tapi tu lah...mak aku memang betul2 misali...pagi2 dah bangun masak itu masak ini. Bukan ada dapur gas, oven ke amende...dapur kayu yang penuh abu tu. Hmmm... bukanlah main sedap masakan arwah mak. Di sekolah aku biasa kongsi makan dengan rakan2. Ada group masing2. Aku selalu dengan group budak Parit Kangkar. Di kampung itu ada sawah dan ramai orang banjar. Uhhhh teringat wadik dan ikan haruan masak lemak...Meleleh ayor lior puasa2 ni yob... Tak pernah pulak aku ponteng sekolah masa tu ya....Apa hal budak2 sekarang dok melepak tak tentu hala? Those were the days lah bro...saja bila jengok facebook kawan2...terjumpa kawan2 masa sekolah rendah dulu....Bilalah boleh jumpa dia orang ni semula ya??? Baru2 ini ada seorang rakan lama menghantar message dalm fb aku...katanya ada kawan aku yang bakal menimang cucu tak lama lagi....Alamak...dah tua rasanya pula..he he!!  |

Posted: 17 Aug 2010 09:00 PM PDT   Seronok sungguh teman semalam kerana dapat berbuka puasa di MBI bersama rakan-rakan AJK dari semua surau di bawah kariah MBI. Di meriahkan lagi dengan kehadiran ADUN Lembah Jaya, YB Khasim yang sudi, bukan sahaja menyampaikan sumbangan tetapi turut serta dalam kesemua program Ehya Ramadhan semalam sehingga ke morey. YB juga sempat mengimami solat Maghrib. Segala kekurangan harap dimaafkan. Yang penting ialah silaturrahim dan semangat ukhuwah yang wajib kita pupuk dan perkukuhkan. Wassalam.  |
