Chow Kon Yeow: 曹观友

Last Thursday, the parliamentary secretary to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment Dato Sazmi bin Miah gave an assurance at Parliament that the government would be proposing amendments to redress the injustices in the Adnorna Properties land case. Meanwhile he said a Joint Technical Committee from the Land Administrator and Police will be formed to tackle the problems of cheating and forgery in land titles. We hope the grave injustices would be addressed.Read the exchanges in Parliament:

The principal electoral roll of year 2006 have been re-certified, according to the Government Gazette dated 12 March 2007 that is tabled in Parliament this morning.

The notice pursuant to regulation 24 of the Elections (Regulation of Electors) Regulations 2002 says the supplementary electoral rolls for the year 2006 have been duly merged with the principal electoral roll of year 2005 and have been re-certified as the principal roll of year 2006.

This means this latest electoral roll would be used should snap general election is held over the next few months.

I think there is still time for Malaysians above 21 years of age to register as a voter.Go to the nearest post office and it takes just a few minutes.

In another gaovernment gazatte, the Election Commission have also published the polling districts, polling stations and polling hours of the verious Parliamentary and State constituencies.

Looks like SPR is gearing up for the next general elections.

It is indeed heartening to read in The Star the promise made by the Seberang Prai Tengah OCPD Assistant Commission Mohd Anil Shah Abdullah of his pledge to tackle the annoying Mat Rempit problem in the state.

Here is what he had said: “I will make sure that the Mat Rempit menace is eradicated from my district.”
He followed up by reassuring that the police would continue with operations to keep these Mat Rempit in check.
Mohd Anil made the pledge following the arrest of an unemployed 20-year-old youth who had on April 1 allegedly hurled a brick at a traffic cop, causing the latter to suffer face and ear injuries and fractured his left collar bone and left palm.
Hats off to Mohd Anil for taking the initiative to personally look into the Mat Rempit problem which has been going on for some time.
Now, what about the other four OCPDs in the State? Are they going to follow suit to clamp down on these unruly motorcyclists who have even gone a step ahead from indulging in illegal motor racing to intimidating and robbing motorists?
As MP of Tanjong, I do received lots of complaints of these Mat Rempit racing all over George Town in the wee hours of the morning with their deafening modified motorcycles.
Surprisingly, there is a deafening silence from the siren of the patrol cars whom we expect to chase after them.
I am sure the police would have gathered enough information from their intelligence as to where the Mat Rempit congregate and when do they rendezvous and if so why aren’t the patrol cars despatched there to do curb?
If Mohd Anil can openly promise to eradicate the Mat Rempit in his district, it is only proper that the other four OCPDs do likewise in their respective district.
