Has Felda really regained the Jalan Semarak land?

-
Last week, there has been a big publicity on the Federal Land Development Authority (Felda)’s success in "regaining the land" in Jalan Semarak which has been suspiciously transferred to a company in a 2015 deal.

We would like to seek a clearer clarification from the Felda chairman Shahrir Abdul Samad, is the land in Jalan Semarak really back in Felda’s hand? What is the evidence of transactions which will prove that Felda has indeed regained the ownership of the land? Can he show the public that the developer/owner of the land Synergy Promenade Sdn Bhd (SPSB) had transacted all the transfer proceedings back to Felda with the various paperwork done?

The announcement made by Felda recently that they had regained the land is indeed a surprise, as such transaction speed has never happened before in history. What has Felda got to offer in order to regain the land from SPSB?

SPSB could not have just return the land to Felda empty handed since the developer has already started the project since. Felda said SPSB will still continue developing the Kuala Lumpur Vertical City (KLVC) project since the construction is already ongoing.

After the KLVC project has been completed, is Felda going to tell the public that they are going to hold on to the developed property without selling it, because the land is currently “owned” by Felda as claimed? If they are not going to sell the developed property, then what are they going to do with the whole KLVC? Is Felda planning to utilise the entire complex?

Then, what about all those KLVC buyers who had initially signed the sales and purchase agreement (SPA) with SPSB? How are these buyers going to be compensated? First of all, if Felda were to have really regain the land from SPSB, how has Felda compensated SPSB? How much of public funds has been utilised in order to buy back the land from the developer?

If Felda claimed that no public funds being used to regain the land from the developer, Felda must reveal its agreement and transactions with SPSB to the parliament and the general public in order to ensure that no foul play arise from this “deal”. Otherwise, this is yet another kind of suspicion after the first one in 2015.

This is involving public interests, Felda is a government-owned corporation supported with public funding and therefore, Felda should be transparent and accountable for every cent it transacted.

The members of parliament too should scrutinise this subject thoroughly to ensure nothing is being hidden, no corruption nor any power abuse are involved.

What has MCA done to the Chinese community in Malaysia?

We guess, many of you would be wondering why are we asking such question, “What has MCA done to the Chinese community in Malaysia?” Obviously, none of us would ever realize the real and terrible impact that MCA has made onto the Malaysian Chinese and if they were to see this, the definite question too would be, “done what?”, “don’t know”, “not aware”, “none of our business”, or even, “we don't want to know at all”. The inception of MCA in 1949 can be traced back from the origins of the Chinese Kuomintang (KMT) and its chapter in the then Malaya, which was famously known as Kuomintang Malaya (KMT Malaya). In aftermath of the Second World War and the defeat of the KMT forces in China in 1949, the KMT Malaya has began to move towards transforming its Malayan chapter into a local Chinese based organization in order to preserve its existence and long term political opportunity in this county. And this is how MCA was born in February 1949, where the party later teamed up...

Perlukah sesebuah gabungan parti politik kekal secara wajib?

Daripada keadaan politik dalam negara ini, kita telahpun dan sedang memerhati beberapa buah gabungan parti-parti politik yang terkini, iaitu Barisan Nasional (BN) yang kekal begitu lama dengan parti komponen utama Umno memonopoli semua aspek keputusan di dalam gabungan dan kerajaan yang diterajui oleh mereka. Di pihak Pakatan Rakyat (PR) pula ianya merupakan sebuah gabungan parti-parti pembangkang utama, PKR, DAP dan PAS yang bekerjasama secara longgar dan masing-masing mempunyai kedudukan yang setaraf di antara satu sama lain. Di tengah-tengah kancah cabar mencabar di antara BN dan PR, terdapat satu lagi alternatif yang kini sedang menonjol, Gabungan Kiri Malaysia (GKM) yang merangkumi gabungan parti politik bercampur dengan pertubuhan-pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO) yang kini dianggotai oleh Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM), sebagai peneraju utama GKM, diikuti dengan Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia (SAMM), Pusat Sejarah Rakyat dan Collective Intelligence serta beberapa individu yang te...

Japanese WW2 aggression in Asia: Japan should apologize

We all knew that during the Second World War (WW2) in the Asian continent, the Imperial Japan had aggressively used its military force to conquer many parts of Asia, particularly Korea, Manchuria, some parts of Eastern Russia and largely China. Japan's aggression was later expanded to many parts of Southeast Asia and the Pacific theatre. During these aggression, the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy were well-known for its atrocities against civilians. The most famous one was marked in the Nanking Massacre in 1937, when the Chinese Nationalist government's capital fell into the hands of the Imperial Japan. Millions of Chinese civilians, men and women, children, senior citizens, sick people, babies were systematically murdered, women and children were captured, raped and then slaughtered, many cities, counties and homes were torched which caused total destruction of much of China's population. Asides, the Japanese military aggression and atrocities had also expanded t...
