PETALING JAYA: The Housing and Local Government Ministry has suggested that the price of diesel be reduced in the 2009 Budget to help the construction industry.
“We hope the Government can reduce the diesel price because diesel vehicles are commonly used in this industry, too,” said minister Datuk Seri Ong Ka Chuan.
He said that previously, diesel was heavily subsidised and road tax was higher for diesel vehicles.
“But since the subsidy for diesel vehicles have gone down a lot, the road tax for such vehicles should also be reduced to a level at par with petrol vehicles, if not lower,” he told a press conference after launching the 19th National Real Estate Convention 2008 here yesterday.
He also suggested that state governments allow developers to be flexible in carrying out the bumiputra quota requirement for their projects.
He said developers should enjoy the flexibility of either increasing or reducing the quota based on the population of the areas in which their projects are being built.
“If there is less demand from the bumiputras because of the low number of the population in a certain area, developers should be allowed to reduce the quota to less than 30% as required currently.
“For those who develop projects in areas where there is more demand from the bumiputra population, they should be able to increase the percentage of the quota,” he said.

Helping hand for quake victims
THE Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) and the Kuala Lumpur Dancers Association (KLDA) presented a donation of RM60,000 to the Chinese ambassador Cheng Yonghua recently.

lee chong wei
penang government want to give `DATUK' titled to lee chong wei
but this appreciation been disagree because he is too young.
I'm not supporting anyone but i thing he deserve to get that appreciation
he had workhard to achieve success in Olympic
not all people or can i say our athletes can achieve top five in their game.
people do not agree Nicol and lee Chong Wei get title `DATUK' because they are too young..
why actually a person get `DATUK'?
if people not agree `DATUK' given to them
why not we change the title to`WIRA' or other that is specific for athletes
and for the price (one million) for gold it quit expensive
but it also can increase our athletes spirit to win their games.
this is all my opinion
and i hope who ever read this article can thing positive.

Support for Avril concert
PETALING JAYA: Radio stations, the Perak Mentri Besar and pop rocker Amy Search have joined in lashing out at PAS Youth for calling for a ban on Canadian rocker Avril Lavigne’s concert on Aug 29.
Engku Emran Engku Zainal Abidin, the vice-president of the association of local radio stations Commercial Radio Malaysia (CRM), said PAS Youth should see the concert as an opportunity to reach out to youths and work with the Government.
“PAS Youth is apparently all about sending out positive messages and I understand their (PAS) role and concerns but they should see this as a path to reach out to the youths,” he told The Star.
“Banning the concert will not make things better or address the root of social ills.
“The young people will not listen to us but to their idol, someone who is world famous.
“People like Avril have a better chance to address social issues especially since she is of similar age to the crowd,” he said.
Amy Search said people kept looking at the negative side of rock bands when “we must remember there are positive sides to it too”.
“Her (Avril) music and video clips do not suggest negativity,” he said, adding that Avril came across as an easygoing girl.
“All religions preach good values. It is entirely up to us to take the good and leave the bad. Feelings and judgments are within our own control,” he added.
“You cannot expect us to wear a tie and suit to perform,” he said, adding that members of rock bands also have families and children.
On Saturday, Federal Territory PAS Youth chief Kamaruzaman Mohamed called for Avril’s concert to be banned on the grounds that “rock and punk are not suitable for the young generation, especially so during Merdeka month.”
In Ipoh, Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin said he had no qualms about Avril performing so long as she observed the acceptable norms in terms of dressing and type of songs.
“I have no objection so long as she observes the Eastern culture,” he said after the weekly exco meeting.
On whether the protest by PAS Youth was an attempt to push for the PAS agenda, Nizar said: “If they have grounds that the artistes are against the acceptable Eastern norm, they can voice it out,” he said.
Engku Emran added that PAS Youth should see more of Avril’s talent and discipline that got her to where she is now.
“It boils down to the saying 'do not judge a book by its cover.'
“Even foreign organisations acknowledge her as a good ambassador for various charitable causes,” he said, referring to Amnesty International, the US Campaign for Burma, the Make A Wish Foundation, YouthAIDS and War Child.
