Excessive Federal Government Powers
NGOs alarmed at excessive federal govt powers
by : Himanshu Bhatt / The Sun, Malaysia
GEORGE TOWN (March 7, 2010): The impact of widespread federalism, or entrenched federal government powers in state affairs, is a serious concern that needs to be looked into, a forum to assess the Pakatan Rakyat’s two-year rule in Penang heard today.
Several NGO activists expressed concern over various matters in which the federal government exercised undue control, leaving the state authorities out of important local matters they should be handling.
Aliran secretary Dr Francis Loh pointed to agencies like the Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board (CVLB), under the Prime Minister’s Department, which issues permits and regulates public transport like buses and taxis in the state, as well as the Penang Port whose officials are appointed by the finance and transport ministries.
He also noted that federal allocations under the 9th Malaysia Plan were being channelled to the State Development Office (SDO) under the Prime Minister’s Department, which does not report its funding and mechanisms to the state authorities.
"All funds are channelled to the SDO, not to the state. The Penang government has no say in this matter," he said at the forum entitled ‘Penang: Has anything changed after two years?’ at the Caring Society Complex here.
Penang Island municipal councillor Lim Kah Cheng noted the federal government had authority over licensing and implementation of public cleaning projects.
Noting that such powers were given to the federal and not state authorities under the Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing Act approved by Parliament in 2007, she said she opposed any plans for a single company to be appointed by the federal government to oversee cleaning operations in the state.
Economist Lim Mah Hui noted that of Malaysia’s annual budget of RM207 billion, only RM0.45 billion was given to Penang although the state’s GDP of RM44 billion formed a sizeable amount of the national GDP of RM505 billion.
He also expressed apprehension that the state had limited land of its own to use, as only 12% of the Penang’s non-hilly terrain was under the state.
Concerns were also raised about programmes for conservation of the George Town’s Unesco World Heritage Site, with the state government failing to get necessary federal allocation to maintain and preserve the site.
Loh also said a think tank formed by Khazanah Nasional Bhd to vet and disburse some RM20 million for heritage programmes, obtained through a federal allocation, should be dismantled.
He said the allocation should be given to the state, as it was the authority accountable to the ratepayers. -- theSun.

Why MPPP doesn't make this as a scheduled work
Following is the most frequent complaints and acknowledgement letters received.
Municipal councils has not adopted a service concept based on "proactive", but waits until complaints received then only action will be taken. This really tied us up in the YB office for doing the unnecessary complaint forwarding, follow up and reverting back the result to complainants.

The urban services should be made as scheduled works by the municipal council.

No Plastic Bags Day - Still A Lot to Do
A small family can easily find a big numbers comprise of all kind of plastic bags for disposal in a week.
These plastic bags were not the shopping bags which currently were "control items" under the "No Plastic Bags Day" campaign launched by the Penang State Government and the Selangor State Government. They are the packaging bags used to pack various household consumer goods : - instant drinks, biscuits, detergent, handwasher, instant mee, junk food so and so on.
By looking at the thickness of these packaging bags, definitely they are much much thicker than the shopping bags. You hardly can find these plastic bags indicate type of the plastic - either they are PET, PC, PP.
In Malaysia, "Don't litter, Cintailah Kebersihan dan Kehijauan Bumi Kita" (photo left) is the most common found logo printed on plastic bags. Whereas in many countries, indicating the plastic type is compulsory (photo right). .

Penang State has made a significant leap by increasing the number of days to "ban" plastic bags in high volume shopping departmental stores. I strongly belief that the government will soon look at the packaging bags. In fact the plastic bags contributed by consumer goods are even much higher than shopping plastic bags.
How the Penang State Government can influent the manufacturers of these consumer goods when the goods are origined from all over the country? In fact it is not a hard job. The local council can impose certain requirement on the trade license of retail outlets. The items sold in these outlets must comply to the requirement under the environment concern. They can also request certain products sold in the outlets to be packed in alternative packaging. Beside that, indicating the type of plastic can even be implemented instantly.
Shopping is an-hour event, consuming these goods may be 1 week to a month. After that all these will be ended in the garbage dump.

Let us stand together with the DAP and Pakatan Rakyat government. We can prevent the landfill buried by these plastic instead of burying the plastic.

School bags are still heavy
The weight of school bags are still remain as heavy as before.
Two years ago I conducted a simple check on the cause of the overweight school bags. Reasons were as listed below:
1) Too many books for every single subject.
2) Unnecessary text book such as Pendidikan Jasmani (Physical Education)
3) Over-sized illustration.
4) Blank pages for writings.
5) No-lesson-but-need-submit-homework.
From Std 1 to Std 3, almost all subjects, Bahasa Malaysia, Chinese, English, Mathematics, Sciences have standard text books and standard activities books. Besides that, the school have made other workbooks compulsory. My kids school have two BM "buku latihan tatabahasa" and another two "buku latihan penulisan". Chinese subject has calligraphy excercise (std 3 onwards), character stroke order excercise (std 1 to 3), Chinese phrase Chengyu excercise (std 4 onwards) , writing excercise and practical excercise - at least 4 addition work books. Other subjects, English Sciences 1 text 2 work books, Mandarin Sciences 1 text 1 work book, English Maths 1 text 2 work books, Chinese Maths 1 text 1 work book, English language 1 text 1 work book, Moral 1 text 1 excercise, and, Physical and Health Education 1 text book.
Moving to Std 4, there are two more new subjects - Civics & Citizenship and Kemahiran Hidup. Even the Civics & Citizenship subject has workbook. Take note that there are already a Moral subject which I believe they were subjects redundant each other.
And the ban by the Ministry of Education two years ago of additional work books by the schools seems like have not been enforced.
For Pendidikan Jasmani dan Kesihatan (Physical and Health Eduction), there is a text book as well. The Physical Excercise seems to be material to be read in the classroom and not played in the court or field. Haha, I believe our sport heroes hereoins like Saw Chin Aun, Eddy Choong, Misbun Sidek, Nicol David might have never gone through this text book when they were in primary schools.
And the textbook writers - not sure of their background, no highlights of their sport speciallities. But there were "graphic designer" and "illustrator". 99.9% of the graphics were handdraw and not actual photo. That may be a new method to produce good atheletes and sportmen who can excel in our country. The Std 4 text book was 122 pages thick.
Over-sized illustration is another problem. To educate the pupil about the objects in the classroom, the graphic occupied two pages. That was only one chapter. Other chapters too used two pages each to illustrte canteen, family, playing field so and so on. Despite the size, only 5 to 6 vocabs were contained. Therefore the text books ended up with big illustration.
And the workbooks nowadays sell both pages printed with words and printed with empty lines. So the pupils carried empty lines in their school bags. In our old times, there were no empty line books except the 40 pages excercise books in the brown colour cover printed with school emblem and school anthem.
And if you wonder why the school bags were still heavy despite only 4 to 5 subjects scheduled daily in the school timetable. Remember there are homeworks that your kids need to submit to Cikgu the next day despite the subject is not in the timetable.
So what can be done? I will tell you individually if you post me email personally.
