APPEAL FOR WITNESSES
Incident: ASSAULT, CIVIL COMMOTION & MALICIOUS DAMAGE
Date: September 21, 2011
Time: from 1250 to 1300 hrs
Location: Outside Jakel & CIMB Bank, Jalan Bunos & at Jalan Masjid India, Kuala Lumpur

Witnesses are kindly requested to contact
Investigating Officer Sergeant-Major Shukur
Criminal Investigation Department (9th Floor)
Dang Wangi Police Station
H/P: 019-324 5442
Tel: 03-2600 2222

Facts of the Case:
At about 1250 hrs on Friday, October 21 2011, the Victim stopped his motorcar, a Perodua Kelisa in heavy, still and unmoving traffic outside Jakel and CIMB Bank in Jalan Bunos, Kuala Lumpur and asked his daughter to take over the wheel while he went an Indian music stall outside Mydin along Jalan Masjid India to return a broken CD that he had bought the previous day and get a good copy as a replacement.

After getting the replacement, the Victim ran back to his car which was still outside Jakel and CIMB Bank in Jalan Bunos. In the meantime, some passers-by that are not known to the Victim saw him running with the CD and thought he had stolen it. Then an Indonesian or Malay man with an Indonesian accent shouted “Pencuri.” This triggered a civil commotion. As the Victim tried to drive off, between 15 to 20 male assailants (Malays, Indonesians and Indian Malaysians) surrounded the car and starting smashing the front and back windscreens, side-mirrors and bodywork of the car. Among them and instigating them was this Indonesian or Malay man with an Indonesian accent.

The Indian lady from the music stall where the Victim had bought the CD also came when she saw the commotion and tried to explain to the crowd that the Victim had exchanged the CD and was entitled to it. There was a momentary break in the violence and so the Victim decided to drive off to Dang Wangi Police Station to make a Police Report. As they were people still standing in front and surrounding the car, the Victim had to reverse his car in order to get out of the situation.

Then, the violence started again in earnest and both the Victim and his daughter were hit by flying glass from the front windscreen. When the Victim turned right at the junction at Maybank from Jalan Bunos to Jalan Masjid India, the violence got worse with the assailants attacking the car with malicious intent using wooden poles, metal rods and poles and wooden crates. They even tried to puncture the car tyres by throwing broken pieces of wooden crates with nails sticking out.

They did their best to impede the Victim from going to Dang Wangi Police Station to make a Police Report. The victim and his daughter were in fear of their lives and safety. The Victim decided that the best option was to remain in the car and not get out. A fat Indian man with a metal pole started to use it as a battering ram by repeatedly smashing the front car windscreen. This same fat Indian man later took videos of the Victim while blocking his face with his iPad. The victim tried to call the Police (121) from his handphone at 1253 hrs but could not get through.

From 1256 hrs, the Victim managed to take some videos and still photos of the people surrounding the car. The people include the assailants, passers-by, a photographer (a Chinese man with spectacle and wearing a long-sleeved grey shirt) and Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) enforcement officers. Initially, they were out-numbered and totally unable to control the crowd who continued damaging the Victim’s car with malicious intent.

Eventually, more DBKL enforcement officers arrived on the scene. By 1302 hrs, they had gained some control and managed to persuade the crowd to disperse and allow the Victim to drive off to Dang Wangi Police Station to make a Police Report. These idiots should have arrested the assailants but had failed to do so. Maybe DBKL enforcement officers are not trained as well as they should.

Upon arrival at the Dang Wangi Police Station, the Victim was accosted by a Malay man who got off a motorcycle, WUQ 8934. He claimed that the Victim had knocked his motorcycle while reversing and wanted to be compensated. The Victim said that the procedure was for him to make a Police Report so that his Insurer can compensate him if his claims can be proven to be true. The Victim was unaware of having knocked the motorcyclist as his back windscreen (at the material time) was shattered and he could not view through it. Furthermore, his side-mirrors were folded back and askew by the assailants.

The motorcyclist refused to make a Police Report and followed the Victim and his daughter into the Dang Wangi Police Station, shouting and screaming swearwords. When he refused to calm down, the Police had to throw him out of the Police Station. He later went to the Tun H.S. Lee Traffic Police Station to make a report (Investigating Officer Sergeant Sagaran). It is believed that the motorcyclist was one of the assailants who hit the Victim’s car with malicious intent and had initiated a civil commotion by instigating others (including the fat Indian man with the iPad) to do the same. The Investigating Officer, Sergeant-Major Shukur, is already in possession of the motorcyclist’s details having obtained it online from Sergeant Sagaran.

Police are also looking for a Chinese man who took photographs of this incident. He can clearly be seen in the video above at 1:14 with spectacles and wearing light grey long-sleeved shirt.

The mob mentality of our society is a sad reflection of our failed criminal justice system that people feel compelled to take the law into their own hands; failure of our national education system and of the Tamil school system for not teaching people basic rights and basic law. The only redeeming factor in this whole episode is that it was a woman ~ a sole lady of courage ~ who faced the mob and acted in our defence. The future of society lies in our mothers, wives and daughters...

The Police already have the details of the owner of WUQ 8934, who I suspect was one of the assailants and had also instigated others to set upon my car.

The fat Indian man with the iPad was the one who used a metal pole as a battering ram to smash my front windscreen. The DBKL enforcement officers where helpless from stopping him. Perhaps, they were inadequately trained. I pray the Polis catch this pundek.

Joan Baez ~ Blowing in the Wind

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you can call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she can sleep in the sand
How many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

How many years must a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea
And how many years must some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
And how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

And how many times can a man look up
Before he can really see the sky

How many years must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
And how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

Winds of Change in Indera Mahkota

YB Azan bin Ismail

The word on the ground in Kuantan is that YB Azan bin Ismail, the current Member of Parliament for the Bandar Indera Mahkota constituency in Pahang, representing the People's Justice Party (PKR) in the Pakatan Rakyat opposition coalition, no longer commands the support of his constituents as he has not made a stand to oppose the Lynas Advanced Materials Plant (LAMP) in Gebeng, which lies within his constituency. In fact, he has been doggedly silent on the issue.

YB Azan was elected to Parliament in the 2008 general election, defeating Salamon Ali Rizal Abdul Rahman of the governing Barisan Nasional coalition by 1,027 votes. He was a member of the PKR's leadership in Pahang before resigning in 2010, citing dissatisfaction with PKR's management.

Lee Chean Chung

In contrast, working hard on the ground to replace YB Azan in Indera Mahkota is PKR's Lee Chean Chung. Born and raised in Kuantan, Pahang, local boy Lee Chean Chung is currently the Research Officer for Kajian Politik untuk Perubahan (KPRU). Fluent in Malay, English and several Chinese dialects, Lee Chean Chung has been very busy building grassroots support in the Bandar Indera Mahkota constituency, not least by campaigning hard for the anti-Lynas campaign.

The Lynas Advanced Materials Plant (LAMP) relies on the Kuantan Port, a key feature of the East Coast Economic Region (ECER), to import Rare Earth Oxide (REO) concentrate from Mount Weld, located 35 kilometres south of Laverton, Western Australia.

Position Statement on Nuclear Power Plants

NGO Position Statement on Nuclear Power Plants
11 October 2011



We, the undersigned organizations, strongly call on the Government of Malaysia to abandon its plan to develop nuclear power plants.

Nuclear power plants have proven themselves time and again to be unsafe, unwanted and unnecessary. The nuclear option should not be considered as a solution to our energy needs.

Over the past two days, we have learnt firsthand of the pain and suffering of our Japanese friends affected by the Fukushima disaster. We do not wish the same for our people.

The Japanese nuclear crisis is far from over and we must not ignore this tragic lesson. This preventable tragedy has reignited the call from peoples all over the world to reject nuclear power generation. Enlightened governments have responded to this call
while others are now reconsidering their decisions to adopt nuclear power.

The ethical response we expect of the Malaysian Government is to adopt a precautionary approach as part of its responsibility to our future generations because nuclear reactors will also leave a permanent legacy of hazardous waste.

Malaysia need not go down the nuclear path. A stronger pursuit of energy efficiency and renewable energy would obviate the need for nuclear reactors.

We demand that the Government of Malaysia be fully transparent and consultative in its decision making process on meeting the country’s future energy demands.

=============

Media release 11 OCTOBER 2011

Civil society organisations from Japan, South Korea, Australia and Malaysia call on the Government of Malaysia to stop its nuclear power development plan.

The groups said they are convinced beyond doubt that nuclear power has no place in Malaysian’s quest to chart a sustainable energy future.

The groups are Friends of the Earth Japan (FOE-­Japan), Citizen Nuclear Information Centre, Fukushima Network for Protecting Children from Radiation, Korea Federation for Environmental Movement (KFEM/FOE-­South Korea), Friends of the Earth Australia (FOE-­Australia), Friends of the Earth Malaysia (Sahabat Alam Malaysia), Consumers Association of Penang and Third World Network.

Following a two-­day public forum (Oct 8 and 9) which provided an insight into the potential of energy efficiency and renewable energy to achieve a healthy energy mix in the near future for Malaysia, they urge the government to increase its support for these sectors instead of spending taxpayers’ money on nuclear technology which has proven time and again to be economically, environmentally and socially harmful.

The forum also heard firsthand of the sufferings of the people of Fukushima from the March 11 tsunami-­‐‑triggered crisis that saw the meltdown of the three reactors in the Fukushima
Daiichi nuclear power plant.

Eri Watanabe (Ms), Nuclear and Energy Campaigner, Friends of the Earth Japan said:
“The accident in Fukushima once again reminded us that once a severe accident happens, environmental and social impacts are irreversible.

So far, the Japanese government cannot sufficiently protect their people from radiation. However, the government still continues its policy to promote exports of nuclear power technology. This is morally wrong because its own people are still suffering so much from the accident.

I strongly recommend that the Malaysian government and people rethink the introduction of nuclear energy for your prosperity and for the next generation."


Hideyuki Ban (Mr) of Citizen Nuclear Information Centre (CNIC) said:
“The Japanese Government and electricity utilities insisted that Japanese nuclear power technology is superior. However, Fukushima showed us that they were so wrong.

The fallout from the nuclear reactors contaminated a vast land area, the air and the sea. I want the Malaysian Government and its people to recognise that the Fukushima tragedy could happen to any country that embraces nuclear power.”

Representative of the Fukushima Network for Protecting Children from Radiation, Seiichi Nakate (Mr) said:
“I would not want Malaysian people to experience the tragedy that people in Fukushima are now facing. I came here only because I wanted to tell you this. In Fukushima, more than 100,000 families have been separated because of the nuclear accident. And even now, one million people still live in contaminated areas with deep sufferings and anxiety.

Human beings must abandon nuclear power plants. We must not allow a single nuclear power plant to be built anymore.”

Kim Hye Jeong (Ms), Executive Coordinator of KFEM said:
“Korea’s nuclear technologies are questionable as shown by its track record of 646 minor and major accidents in a period of 32 years since the installation of its first nuclear power plant in 1978.

“We are appalled that the APR1400 nuclear reactor that has yet to be commercially tested in South Korea might just be the type of reactor that the Malaysian government is considering
buying from us.

We condemn the South Korean Government’s plan to export such sub-­standard technology to a developing country like Malaysia under the pretext of international technical cooperation,” she added.


Dr Jim Green, National Nuclear Campaigner of FoE-­Australia said:
“Australian uranium was used in the Fukushima reactors that were destroyed in March. We Australians do not want to be responsible for similar disasters in Malaysia.”

He also said over a 50-­year lifespan, a single nuclear reactor is responsible for 1,500 tonnes of high level nuclear waste and a staggering 35mil tonnes of low level radioactive tailings waste. The Malaysian government should not bequeath this toxic legacy to future generations.

He further reminded that nuclear power is the only energy source with the capacity to produce weapons of mass destruction.

“It is far better to choose energy efficiency and renewables,” he added.

Following the forum, several Malaysian civil society groups present pledged to work together in a concerted campaign against the proposed nuclear power plants.

ON ENTOMOPHAGY

"Eating grass-hopper is very delicious. Very crispy, crunchy and tasty. I wish I can eat it every day."

AZLAN ADNAN,
FOUNDER OF THE GREEN PARTY OF MALAYSIA,
ON ENTOMOPHAGY

I advocate entomophagy.

What?
Entomophagy is the term used to describe the process of eating insects as a food source. Currently, many universities study this process, including Illinois State University, Purdue University, and the University of Wisconsin, using the term "microlivestock" to categorize the insects that can be eaten.

Why?
Insects are delicious and the cheapest source of natural protein, requiring less land and feed than raising farm animals. By weight, termites, grasshoppers, caterpillars, weevils, houseflies and spiders are better sources of protein than beef, chicken, pork or lamb according to the Entomological Society of America.

Insects are also easy to raise, and to harvest, and they are highly nutritious to eat. For example, a termite contains approximately 14 grams of protein and 36mg of iron. In comparison, lean beef contains 27 grams of protein and only 4mg of iron. Additionally, if you are looking to add calcium to your diet, try eating crickets. One cricket contains 13 grams of protein, 10mg of iron, and 76mg of calcium. Overall, insects provide a good source of nutrients and when prepared properly, can be quite tasty as well.

While insects are high in protein, low in cholesterol and relatively low in fat, they are also a "clean" food source because many feed off fresh plants. For example, grasshoppers and crickets eat fresh, clean, green plants whereas crabs, lobsters and catfish eat any kind of foul, decomposing material as a scavenger (bottom water feeder).

Along with nutrition comes the added benefit of good taste. Taste is also a factor in selecting insects, as many can be eaten either raw or cooked, while others are used as ingredients to produce other food items, such as being used as an additive to flour.

If Malaysians could tolerate more insects in what we eat, farmers could significantly reduce the amount of pesticides applied each year. It is better to eat more insects and less pesticide residue. Besides, the only more eco-friendly alternative to getting our proteins from insects rather than from mammals is to go vegetarian.

Additionally, using insects in recipes has risen as consumers begin to realize the benefits gained by using this alternative protein source. While organizations such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) continue to monitor and limit the amount of insecticides allowed on crops, some US farmers are looking to cultivate insect microlivestock as a food source. These farmers are hoping to enlighten the western countries about the advantages of using insects for food.

Where?
For now, entomophagy has yet to become a day-to-day activity for most people in Malaysia in spite of the superior nutritional content of edible insects compared to other animals. Other cultures around the world, notably in nearby Thailand, have made insects a main ingredient in their diets, providing an excellent source of protein. Insects are an inexpensive substitute for meat in many developing countries.

Although eating insects intentionally is not yet a common practice in the United States and Europe, it is popular among the peoples of many other regions of the world including Africa, Asia, Australia, Mexico and South America. These areas have developed specific recipes for certain regional insects and include the eating of insects as part of their daily diet.

There are 6 million species of insects in the world. Not all insects are edible. Some insects are toxic and may create allergy problems. Because not all insects can be eaten, it is important to know which insects are used for food and how they are being prepared. Over 1,000 insect species are eaten by humans world wide. By region, the following insects are commonly eaten:

Africa. In Africa, popular insects to eat include termites, grasshoppers, caterpillars, beetles, ants, and locusts. Termites are often eaten raw or fried, or are made into a cooking oil. Grasshoppers, caterpillars, and young beetles are fried and ants are eaten either raw or ground-up into a paste. Locusts are typically boiled and salted prior to eating.

Asia. All over Asia, the giant waterbug, which is gathered by farmers at night near water sources, is roasted whole and eaten as a delicacy. Meanwhile, in Korea, fried locusts are popular as a food source and in the Philippines, many insects including ants, beetles, crickets, grasshoppers, katydids, locusts, and larvae from the dragonfly are fried or boiled prior to eating. In Papua New Guinea, chefs typically prepare insect grubs either roasted or boiled to serve as a main meal.

Australia. Home to many large colonies of termites, some of which have termites as long as three inches in length, Australians favour these insects and prefer to fry them prior to eating.

Mexico and South America. In Mexico, grasshoppers are a popular food source especially when fried prior to eating. Fried grasshoppers are also canned commercially and sold in supermarkets and local grocery stores. The agave worm is also a popular insect to eat, whether swallowed whole in a preserved state in a bottle of tequila or eaten cooked inside of a tortilla. In Columbia, South America many insects are eaten including ants, termites and palm grubs. Insects are often cooked prior to eating or are used as ingredients in recipes.

In the United States, certain Native American tribes commonly ate insects. Specifically, in the western United States, pupae of the fly known as the Mono Lake alkali fly (Ephydra hians) was eaten. This food was called "Koo-tsabe." Nowadays, Americans can purchase insects commercially to eat from insect supply firms, bait shops, and from some pet shops. Typically, ants, crickets, mealworms, and grasshoppers are most commonly used for food although certain people enjoy eating insect larvae, especially from moths and yellow jackets. The most popular way to eat insects in the United States, however, is to deep fry pieces of them prior to serving.

Who?
As far as I know, the Iban in Sarawak are the only Malaysians that eat insects ~ sago beetle larvae. In general, insects provide a high source of protein and are relatively inexpensive to purchase in many developing countries as compared to meat products. Typically, the insects that are most popular to eat are those that can be gathered quickly and in large amounts.


I hope to remove the negative stigma associated with eating insects and to show people just how healthy, and good tasting, eating insects can be. As the popularity of eating insects grows, many chic restaurants will open to that cater specifically to those who enjoy eating insects. Already in Singapore, there are restaurants that serve larvae and scorpions and seat sell-out crowds nightly.

14 QUESTIONS

AZLAN ADNAN, FOUNDER OF THE GREEN PARTY OF MALAYSIA ANSWERS THE 14 QUESTIONS POSED IN
The Green Questionnaire by Green Vote Malaysia on August 23 2011.

1. Do you consider rubber plantations to be a kind of forest?
Rubber and oil palm plantations are good examples of monocultures lacking biodiversity. In our tropical Malaysian rainforests, there is an average of 800 different trees species per hectare. They support an even greater number of insect and animal species. When we clear-cut our virgin jungles, we destroy the habitat that supports a rich biodiversity of plant and animal life. In oil palm plantations, you can find only handful of animal species, mostly rats and ayam hutan that eat fallen palm fruits and snakes that eat the rats and ayam hutan and that’s about it. Rubber plantations are possibly even worse. The only thing rubber and oil palm plantations have got going for them is that they act as carbon sinks, sequestering carbon dioxide and storing the carbon as cellulose. So, to answer your question, yes, rubber plantations are a kind of forest. The artificial kind that does not support wildlife and the natural biodiversity found in our natural forests.

2. Do you agree that there should be mandatory public hearings before a forest reserve is excised/degazetted?
Of course, not only should the hearings be made public, but all interested stakeholders must be given an opportunity to be heard and their views considered, incorporated and implemented.

3. What is your stand on the importation of radioactive materials into Malaysia?
What sorts of radioactive materials are we talking about? If you’re talking about radioactive sources for medical diagnostic and industrial imaging purposes, I’m all for it. I’m not a Luddite. We should be progressive and use appropriate technology to benefit not just mankind but the planet as a whole. If you’re taking about rare earth ore that contains radioactive thorium with a half-life of 14 billion years ~ that’s longer than the age of your universe ~ then my answer is a vehement “No! No! A thousand times No!”

4. Do you agree that the Lynas project in Gebeng should go ahead?
Save for employing 350 factory workers, there is financial benefit to Malaysia as Lynas would be given a 12-year tax holiday. After 12 years, Lynas would leave Malaysia, leaving behind a big radioactive mess that going to cost innocent lives, millions of ringgit and years to clean up; like what Mitsubishi Chemicals did with Asian Rare Earth. Will we not learn? When we’re taken for a ride the first time, it was the other person’s fault for being a crook. When we’re taken for a ride a second time, its our own fault for being so stupid in not learning from our mistakes.

5. Do you think Malaysia should have a nuclear power station?
I used to think so. I don’t see our population nor our need for electricity decreasing and I had believed that nuclear fission would buy us time until we get nuclear fusion into fruition. But there is a fundamental issue with nuclear fusion that inherently cannot be solved. It’s called the containment issue. The nuclear fusion reaction is so hot, so intense, that nothing can contain it. Then I realized we already have a nuclear fusion reactor that’s at a sufficiently safe distance away, and what’s more, the energy it creates is already being transported to us for free. We only have what the telco industry calls "the last-mile problem" to solve, to capture this energy and use it.

Yes, I’m talking about the Sun. The Sun is mostly hydrogen gas being squeezed together at enormously huge pressure by its own gravity to form helium. (Chemically, about three quarters of the Sun's mass consists of hydrogen, while the rest is mostly helium. Less than 2% consists of heavier elements, including oxygen, carbon, neon, iron, and others). It is this reaction that is a nuclear fusion reactor giving off huge amounts of energy in the form of sunlight and heat.

Instead of investing money in exploiting fossil fuels, which are finite yet decreasing assets, we should be investing in developing and making cheap solar panels and solar heaters. This is still a young field. In fact, it was only in August 2011 that a 13-year-old boy, Aidan Dwyer, made a major design breakthrough by designing a super-efficient solar array based on the Fibonacci series.

Credit must also be given to a Malaysian architect and inventor, Teoh Siang Teik, who invented, the world’s highest efficiency (40.7%) thermosyphon solar heater microsolar system.

In his book Critical Path, Buckminster Fuller likens fossil fuels to a fixed deposit in the bank that is earning negative interest as we slowly but surely deplete this finite resource. Solar energy, on the other hand, is like free money that is being credited into our current account every day, the only proviso being that if we don’t use it, we lose it and have to wait for tomorrow’s deposit.

Fukushima was a massive wake up call. We should follow the example of Germany and other enlightened nations in investing in solar and other renewable energy technologies such as the Gorlov Helical Turbine which can be placed in gravity-fed water mains pipelines to generate electricity.

6. Should petrol subsidies be continued or abolished?
Petrol subsidies should be abolished. It is about time that consumers feel and therefore understand the true cost of fossil fuels instead of living in a delusionary world of artificially cheap fuel.

I am against subsidies because people should learn that they need to pay for the actual cost of things and get away from the handout, subsidy mentality that is currently so pervasive in Malaysian society.

Once people accept this, we will have less consumerism and materialism in our society because we will learn to live to fulfill our needs, and not our wants. We must all learn to live within our means.

When we have subsidies, money is taken from all tax-payers to subsidize those who consume the goods that are being subsidized. It is grossly unfair that tax-payers who use public transport to be subsidizing all those fat cats, Datuks, Tan Sris, and aristocrats in their Mercedes, BMWs, Brabus, Porsches, Roll-Royces, Bentleys and what not. Those who drive luxury cars should also be able to afford to maintain them and that includes buying petrol at market prices.

Kalau tak mampu, janganlah nak berlagak macam boleh mampu.

So as not to burden the lower income group, a good, integrated and affordable public transport system must first be in place. we should have an infrastructure in place to encourage the use of bicycles.

I drive a 850 c.c. Kelisa. It meets my needs. I may want a Gallardo, an R8, a DB9, a Cayman, an SLK, an XKR and an Elise; one for each day of the week, but they'd be feeding my ego more that fulfilling my needs.

7. Should the government provide subsidies for water supply or should the public be asked to pay more for their water?
The pricing model that is currently being practised in Selangor makes much sense. The first RM6 worth of water consumed is waived. I daresay it costs more to collect this RM6 that its simply not worth the exercise. Then, the rate gets progressively higher the more one consumes a month.

Also, home should be designed with rainwater harvesting systems. A great deal of money and care is spent in ensuring that safe water is pure and safe to drink. And it’s such a waste to use in to flush the toilet and water the plants, to even to wash the car. Its like using bottled mineral water to take a shower. This is where a rainwater harvesting can be used to complement and thereby reduce the volume treated water consumed daily.

8. Do you agree that forests and peatlands can continue to be cleared for oil palm plantations?
No. More efficient use of existing land should be implemented instead. Efforts be done in introduce more species into the monocultures. Methods such as inter-cropping with fruit trees and the planting of bamboos, and various members of the ginger family such as kantan, lengkuas and cardamom along streams and waterways should be made to increase the biodiversity and also to increase food production.


9. Do you eat shark’s fin soup?
Yes, but my children don’t. I don’t smoke, but most Malaysian males do. I eat insects but most Malaysians react with shock and horror when I tell them I advocate entomophagy (see separate article) and ask them to eat a grasshopper. My mother eats turtle eggs which I did as a child but now don’t. Some habits die hard. We recognize that some things may take a generation to change. The important thing is to start the process by creating awareness and educating people of the issues.

10. Can we achieve Prime Minister Najib Razak’s pledge to reduce the country’s carbon emission intensity by 40%?
I don’t see how if we continue to build power plants that run on fossil fuels and continue to subsidize petrol. Making grand declarations of intent at conference may give a warm glow and feel good feelings but where is the substance? What realistic measures have already been implemented have have actually reduced carbon emissions?

11. Do you think Malaysia should retain 50% of its land area under forest cover as previously pledged by Tun Mahathir?
We should more. Declare an immediate and permanent moratorium on deforestation. Have proper enforcement with severe penalties. Hudud even.

12. What do you think is the current forest cover for Malaysia?
Malaysia's land surface was once almost entirely covered with forest. Today, forests still cover about 59.5% of the total land area. However, deforestation is a major concern as the country is still rapidly developing. In the 20 years from 1983 to 2003, there was a reduction of about 4.9 million hectares of forest cover in Malaysia. This is about 4 times the size of Singapore - an average of 250,000 hectares of forest being lost annually! Apart from deforestation, the remaining forests face threats from unsustainable logging, illegal removal of forest products and encroachment. Source: WWF Malaysia

13. Do you think the reintroduction of local elections would improve environmental management in the country?
Yes, if we include Local Agenda 21 as part of the elected representatives' key performance index (KPI).

14. Did you have to consult your party superiors before answering these questions?
No.

RYAN ALBREY & ADNAN YAAKOB

Australian documentary film-maker Ryan Albrey on Lynas issue and Perhimpunan Hijau on Sunday, October 10 2011:

Menteri Besar Pahang beri penjelasan pasal isu Lynas

Adakah masyarakat Cina di Kuantan membantah Lynas kerana mereka hendak tolong-menolong negara Cina?

Walaupun mereka bukan bumiputra, sudah tentu boleh kata hampir semua daripada mereka adalah dilahir di Malaysia. Barangkali boleh kata kebanyakan dari mereka ada mak-bapa yang dilahir Malaysia dan mungkin boleh kata ada sebahagian dari mereka yang ada nenek-datuk pun dilahirkan di Malaysia.

Adakah mereka pengkhianat negara? Adakah mereka penderhaka tanahair? Betulkah masyarakat Cina bukan sebenarnya takut pasal kesihatan dan keselamatan anak cucunya yang akan dilahir di Malaysia juga tapi nak tolong negara Cina pula? Negara itu yang mereka tak pernah lawat, tak kenal dan tak sayang.

Dengan penuh kehormatan kepada Yang Amat Berhormat Menteri Besar Pahang Adnan Yaakob dan dengan sikap berbanyak terima kasih atas kesudian beliau buat temuduga dengan kami, saya mesti cakap saya sangat tidak setuju dengan pendapat beliau tentang kenapa masyarakat Cina membantah kilang Lynas.

Saya percaya orang Cina membantah kilang ini sebab orang Cina adalah kaum yang menderita zaman kelapanpuluhan di Bukit Merah. Orang Cina telah dengar cerita pasal apa yang telah terjadi di negara Cina mananya ada wilayah besar mana apa-apa pun tak boleh hidup akibat industri tanah jarang ini.

Dan saya harap orang Melayu yang masih duduk atas pagar dalam isu ini akan berpendapat sama dengan orang Cina bila mereka belajar apa yang ramai orang Cina sudah belajar.

Sebab radiasi ini tak kisah pasal bangsa. Semua boleh kena.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Is the Chinese community in Kuantan protesting against Lynas because they want to help China?

Even though they are not the original inhabitants of Malaysia, of course, we can say that almost of them are born in Malaysia. Probably we can say that most of them have parents that were born in Malaysia and maybe we can even say that some of them have grandparents born in Malaysia.

Are they really traitors? Are they really betraying the country of their birth? Is it really true that the Chinese community are not in fact concerned about the health and safety of their generations to come that will be born in Malaysia just as they were but rather want to help China? That country that they have never visited, know nothing about and have no love for?

With full respect to The Right Honourable Chief Minister of Pahang, Adnan Yaakob, and with great gratitude for his willingness to grant us this interview, I have to say that I strongly disagree with the opinion of the Chief Minister regarding the reasons why the Chinese Community are protesting against this Lynas factory.

I believe that the Chinese are protesting against this factory because it was the Chinese that suffered in the 1980's in Bukit Merah. The Chinese have already heard the stories about what happened in China where there is a huge territory where nothing can live as a result of this rare earth industry.

I hope the Malay people that are still sitting on the fence on this issue, will see things the same way that the Chinese people do when they learn what many of the Chinese have already learned.

Because radiation doesn't care what race you are. It can kill anybody.

GREEN PARTY OF MALAYSIA

Party political broadcast by Azlan Adnan, Founder of the Green Party of Malaysia.

VISION
United for our Collective Green Future ~ Together, We Can Achieve it!

MISSION
To give political clout to ENGOs and to push the green agenda into the Malaysian political consciousness.

MANIFESTO
Fifty-odd years after independence from British colonial rule, Malaysian politics has now reached the stage whereby race-based political parties no longer have any relevance or valid currency.

In the past fifty plus years, race-based politics has proven to be divisive and unhealthy for our nation. This is because the issue of race has become increasingly irrelevant in the emerging political landscape of Malaysia. Politicians who play the racial card will soon find themselves with no followers, or cronies, either, for that matter.

The GREEN PARTY OF MALAYSIA is a soon-to-be-registered political party that seeks to unite all Malaysians under the banner of environmentalism.

Nikola Tesla - The Untold Story

Click on the photo above to read his biography

This program reveals the discoveries of a forgotten genius, many of which went virtually unnoticed for nearly a century. Nikola Tesla is considered the father of our modern technological age and one of the most mysterious and controversial scientists in history. How did this obscure visionary from what is now Yugoslavia, lay the foundation for modern communications and energy research?



Nikola Tesla's contributions to science and technology include the invention of radio, television, radio-astronomy, remote control and robotics, radar, medical x-ray and the wireless transmission of electricity. Many of Nikola Tesla's inventions were and in some cases still are considered too revolutionary by government agencies and the power brokers of the time and are discussed in detail in this program.

Encyclopedia Britannica lists Nikola Tesla as one of the top ten most fascinating people in history. So why is he virtually unknown to the general public? This program is a penetrating study of the life and mind of a scientific superman who, against all odds, dedicated his life to the task of designing and improving technology for the service and advancement of humanity.
