Bring Back Merdeka Sprit

KUALA LUMPUR: MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu has called on all Malaysians to return to the true spirit of Merdeka as proclaimed by Tunku Abdul Rahman.
“As our country’s first prime minister and Father of Independence, he opened the path for all Malaysians to live in harmony and to respect each other,” he said in his Merdeka Day message.
“Today, we need to bring back that spirit ignited by the great Tunku, our nation’s founding father.”
Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the time had come for Malaysians to renew their pledge made 51 years ago in ensuring the country remained free and independent.
“Since the momentous date of Merdeka, we Malaysians have gone through difficult and successful moments together. We have placed our hopes to see a Malaysia that is just, prosperous and strong,” he said in his Merdeka day message.
Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim in his Merdeka Day address said the people’s welfare would be the main concern, together with pushing Selangor’s economic engine forward to ensure all races benefited from it.

Cut diesel price, says Ong

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.
