Village Idiot
If there is one advise I can offer him, it will be this - Disassociate yourself from this BIG IDIOT and spend more time with your constituents this part of town.
YB, you are still hardly seen and felt.
nugget: noun (1) a small lump of gold or other precious metal found ready-formed in the earth. (2) a small but valuable fact.
Unless you want to carry the whole load yourself, you need to be developing leaders.Somewhere in the world there is a country with a population of two hundred twenty million. Eighty-four million are over sixty years of age, which leaves 136 million to do the work. People under twenty years of age total ninety-five million, which leaves forty-one million to do the work.
There are twenty-two million employed by the government, which leaves nineteen million to do the work. Four million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves fifteen million to do the work. Deduct 14,800,000, the number in state and city offices, and that leaves 200,000 to do the work. There are 188,000 in hospitals and insane asylums, so that leaves 12,000 to do the work.
It is of interest to note that in this country 11,998 people are in jail, so that leaves just two people to carry the load. That's you and me - and brother, I'm getting tired of doing everything myself!
"Troubled by greedy daughter - A GET-RICH-QUICK scheme that lured a 20-year-old girl to invest an initial RM2,000 has got her mother worried, China Press reported.
Known only as Tan, the woman told the daily that her daughter, a college student in Kuala Lumpur, paid the money to join a direct sales company as a member.
She said her daughter was then told by company agents that if she invested another RM30,000, she could easily get RM60,000 in six months.
“My daughter asked me for RM15,000 and said her boyfriend would help raise the other RM15,000,” she told the daily.
She refused to give the money and her nightmare began when her daughter vowed to borrow it from friends.
Her daughter, added Tan, had slackened in her studies after listening to “success stories” of direct sales agents earning large sums."
Yes, you read it right. No. 1 from the BOTTOM!
Care to guess how the spin will be like the next couple of days?
No one is talking. Not the USJRA. Not the Action Committee. Not even the residents themselves.Sometime ago, residents of USJ had protested against the proposed flyover link which was supposed to connect Subang Hi-Tech Industrial Park in Batu Tiga to USJ, Subang. After more than six months of waiting, its fate is finally known.
Despite all the concrete concerns raised by residents directly affected by the link, neither the local authorities nor the state government were bothered to listen to us. It appears that the proposed link is more important than the lives of thousands of residents.
Can I ask why the flyover should be built? Often, in such a case, no concrete reasons are offered to citizens by the local authorities. Despite all the trouble taken by the various community groups to brainstorm on its issues, their efforts are put to waste.
Had this development already been decided from the very beginning? If so, what is the point of having public hearings? Is it merely a show to satisfy Local Agenda 21?
One cannot deny that the proposed development will bring more harm than good.
More traffic will enter the already congested Jalan Tujuan, concerns over school children’s safety as a school directly fronts the main road leading to this flyover, and noise and dust pollution. And there are gas pipelines intersecting the road leading to this flyover.
Perhaps the most feasible solution would be to install I-beam gantries to prevent heavy vehicles accessing the flyover. But then again, such structures can easily be removed at the stroke of a pen. Hardly anyone from our Government bothers to take note of the rakyat’s concerns despite our many attempts to inform them.
Wouldn’t the construction of this flyover defeat the purpose of upgrading road works in Jalan Tujuan, which was primarily done to ease traffic congestion within USJ/Subang? Why waste taxpayers money?
USJ/Subang is already blessed with many access roads. Why build a flyover access which will end in a bottleneck – a tunnel at Batu Tiga? How will it help reduce traffic woes within USJ, Subang?
I strongly urge the local authorities to work together with residents. We are not against development or change, as long as it brings real benefit to all.
