Form Up Your Own JMB or MC!

Statement by Y.B. Ng Wei Aik, the State Assemblyman for KOMTAR on 23rd of February, 2009 in Georgetown, Penang:

High-rise building owners always face a lot of management problems with the errant developers failed to play their role in helping the owners to apply for strata titles or provide them a good living environment.

Hence, it is important for us to understand the various aspects of the Building and Common Property (Maintenance and Management) Act 2007 (also known as Act 663) and apply it accordingly. Without a proper guidance on the law, all these management issues cannot be solved once and for all.

The State Assemblyman for KOMTAR, Ng Wei Aik together with DAP Socialist Youth (DAPSY) Tanjong and DAPSY Bukit Bendera will be organizing a course on Act 663 on 28th of February, 2009 (Saturday) 9.30a.m. to 4.30p.m. at Auditorium F, Level 5 of KOMTAR.

There are two lecturers for the course, including a prominent lawyer Lee Khai and Secretary of Penang Island Municipal Council Tan Cheng Chui.

Lee Khai is a partner of the legal firm in Penang, Messrs. Ong and Manecksha. He has been in practice since 1994. He mainly handles corporate, property, intellectual property and civil litigation work. He has a particular interest in property development and property management issues.

He will talk on “How to protect our rights as a purchaser?” and its scope covering the difference between Joint Management Body (JMB) and Management Corporation (MC), duties of Commissioner of Building (COB), developers, purchasers and liquidator, decision making process prior to and after the formation of JMB/MC, application of strata titles and legal warfare as the last warfare.

Meanwhile, Tan Cheng Chui will talk on “Practical Solution for JMB/MC Formation” by profiling a variety of case studies after the Act 663 implemented in Penang. Tan Cheng Chui is very experienced in helping the purchasers to establish the JMB for Bukit Jambul Complex, the first of its kind in Malaysia.

For those who are interested to register for the course, please contact 04-2270215, 012-4126284, 016-4988847 or visit http://pgforward.blogspot.com for getting more information.

请即刻成立您的共管机构或管理机构!

民主行动党光大区州立法议员黄伟益于2009年2月23日(星期一)在槟城乔治市发表的声明:

至今为止,槟岛还有521个高楼产业未成立共管机构(JMB)或管理机构(MC),以致这些高楼产业的购屋者或居民仍必须跟发展商纠缠不清。

根据槟州政府提供的资料,槟岛共有955个建竣的高楼产业发展计划。截至2009年1月31日为止,共有121个高楼产业成立本身的共管机构,同时有另外313个高楼产业成立本身的管理机构。

这意味着迄今仍有521个高楼产业,还未能成立本身的共管机构或管理机构。一旦未能成立本身的共管机构或管理机构,这意味着居民或业者必须看发展商的脸色过日子,而且又无法有效地捍卫本身的权益。

为了捍卫自身的权益,同时解决悬未而决的分层地契申请问题,购屋者有必要更深入了解2007年建筑与共管产业(维修与管理)法令,并且要懂得如何应用这道法令对您有利的各种条文。

通过掌握这个法令的窍门,即使你所拥有的产业面对发展商清盘,以致陷入无人管理或者不能申请到分层地契的局面,又或者你面对发展商刁难,无缘无故调高每月征收的维修费,而且又无法提供最好的管理服务,你根本就不必担心。

同样地,如果你目前居住的公寓或组屋,被揭发共管机构或管理机构所管理的基金有疑点,你同样可以诉诸这道法令来对付他们。只要掌握及懂得应用这道法令,即使再顽强的发展商,最终还是要乖乖向购屋者低头!

民主行动党光大区州立法议员黄伟益通过丹绒社青团与升旗山社青团将于2009年2月28日(星期六)上午9时30分至下午4时30分,在光大5楼F视听室举办“2007年建筑与共管产业(维修与管理)法令研修课程”。

主办当局邀请槟岛市政局秘书陈清水与著名律师李凯作为整个课程的主讲人。目前担任槟岛建筑专员委员会秘书的陈清水,曾经亲身参与解决许多棘手的产业管理纠纷,并且掌握许多实际的案例。

从1994年开始执业至今的李凯,对于这道法令的熟悉程度可谓如数家珍。他经常处理许多涉及产业发展与产业管理的案件,因此能够结合本身的法律专业,让参加者懂得如何通过法律管道来捍卫自身的利益。

其中,李凯曾经协助新光大广场与武吉占姆广场的业者,成立本身的共管机构跟发展商斡旋到底。即使面对发展商不合作的情况,这两个商场迄今还能够经营下去,成立共管机构乃是其中一项不可或缺的条件。

这项课程只收费每人20令吉,全程将以英语与华语作讲解。欢迎所有要进一步了解这道法令,并且准备为本身公寓成立共管机构或管理机构者,踊跃结伴参与这项为期一天的课程。所有参加者将获提供午餐,以及一切所需的讲义与资料。

欲获知进一步详情,请浏览http://pgforward.blogspot.com 或联络04-2270215、012-4126284、016-4988847。截止日期为2009年2月26日。

DAPSY calls for thorough probe into Kulim shootout

Statement by Ng Wei Aik, the National Publicity Secretary of DAP Socialist Youth (DAPSY) on 23rd of February, 2009 in Georgetown, Penang:

DAP Socialist Youth (DAPSY) calls for thorough probe into Kulim shootout where six men were shot dead by the police in Kulim earlier last week.

This is another shameful incident happened after A. Kugan’s case, showing that the police has not taken any lesson from the case of Kugan, 22, who was arrested on 14th of January, 2009 on suspicion of involvement in a car theft syndicate, collapsed and died in the police station during interrogation on 20th of January, 2009.

Until today, the police had failed to provide a satisfactory explanation for the fatal shooting of six men in Kulim. DAPSY strongly request that a public inquiry should be held as the truth cannot be swept under the carpet.

This public inquiry must be held by appointing an independent panel comprising of non-partisan community leaders and they have to look into various aspects of the shooting and even to review “the license to kill” given to the police.

In the mean time, DAPSY calls on all policemen involved in the shootout must be suspended immediately until the investigation is completed. Should they commit any nature of crime, they have to be punished by the court of justice.

In that police shootout, six men believed to be involved in several armed-robbery cases in Kedah, Penang, Perak and Selangor were killed by a team from federal police headquarters in Bukit Aman.

The killed men were contract worker R. Elangovan, 38; L.S. Santana, 34; contractor R. Pannir, 28; crane driver S. Vadivelan, 29; carpenter S. Gurusamy, 50, and lorry attendant R. Dilip Kumar, 20.

Once again, DAPSY reiterates its strongest stand that Kugan and six men in Kulim should not die in vain but the justice they deserved has to be done by charging those responsible policemen to the court.

不要低估民怨

最近,身边的人太过担心我的安危了!这是基于我亲自参与严厉对付非法看车员的行动,还有协助人民解决一些悬而未决的棘手问题,或许因此得罪权贵或黑势力,难免担心我会像黄洁冰一样“暗箭难防”而身先士卒。

这当然并非杞人忧天或危言耸听,但是眼见这些问题数十年来无法解决,而且相关政府部门又不愿意配合,如果我作为人民代议士又不采取主动出击,肯定会累积更多的民怨,进而让人民对新的州政府失望。

我常常跟朋友说,人民可以对忍受国阵无能50年,就是不能忍受民联无能5年。如果我们在这短短5年交不出成绩单来,让人民对新政权的施政感到满意,若要人民再给我们另外一个5年,似乎是有点奢求。

我们参与协助执法,并非我们跟这些非法看车员或黑势力过意不去。3天前,我们首度跟警方与市政局联手取缔非法看车员,并锁定一些热点展开行动。不过,碍于天不作美,加上有关热点的餐室当晚未营业,让我们只抓获两个非法看车员归队。

其中一位华裔非法看车员,被带到警局验尿时竟哭了起来。他告知没有家人同住,加上车祸及神智问题不能工作,为了三餐只好当非法看车员向人讨钱。我半信半疑,就联络其哥哥。其兄长证实此事,不过却乐于让我们把这个人控上法庭。

在大年初七街头庙会当晚,我曾在沓田仔协助警方抓获一个印裔非法看车员。过后,他被法庭判处罚款300令吉或以坐牢10天代替。结果,他选择缴交300令吉的罚款。由此可见,非法看车员并非每个人都是穷困的。

当晚,协助我把这个印裔非法看车员带到警局的,乃是槟岛市政局的数位执法官员。不过,市政局最近却反态说,他们没有法定权力对非法看车员采取行动。我们要警方协助执法,警方却责怪市政局没有尽责,反而增加了他们的负担。

我们不能怪责警方,毕竟警方的首要任务还是打击罪案。民众一般都认定市政局执法人员有权对非法看车员采取行动,如果市政局又不愿意行使这方面的权力,我们肯定会面对民众的压力。

同一个法律,警方与市政局各有诠释。我们与其让市政局闲置不管,或者让警方劳累而死,我们何不纠正现有的法律,或者让现有的法律更完善化。这又是我下一个要努力的方向了!

民青团应谴责纳吉与巫统,而不是要人民声援许月凤!

民主行动党社青团丹绒区团团长黄伟益于2009年2月9日(星期一)在槟城乔治市发表的声明:

民青团槟州团长胡栋强为了博出位,竟然埋没良心叫人民声援为了金钱而出卖霹雳州人民政权的许月凤,根本就是把选民当傻仔来看待!

民青团全国团长林时彬直指国阵滥用民主的夺权方式,简直就是把选民当傻仔一样,但是其副手胡栋强如今所发表的言论,亦是把选民当作傻仔来看待。

胡栋强指民主行动党领袖与民间的反应,等于是欺压女性和歧视残障人士。事实上,民主行动党或民间对于议员跳糟所持的反应,根本就没有所谓男女性之别,或者带有歧视残障人士的动机。

如果民主行动党歧视残障人士,以许月凤的学历与资格,当初就不可能有机会代表民主行动党攻打九洞区州议席,更不可能委任许月凤担任霹雳州立法议会副议长一职。

即使我们尊重女性与残障人士,这不代表残障人士或女性议员,就可以有特权随意跳糟至敌对阵营,进而导致民联被逼把霹雳州的政权拱手让人。

胡栋强不懂得分辨一般的女性或残障人士,跟为了金钱而出卖人民利益的女性或残障人士,绝对是有天渊之别的。我们不能为了尊重女性与残障人士,就可以一概合理化许月凤等人的不合理行径。

胡栋强发表要人民声援许月凤的言论,无疑是要合理化国阵与巫统大耍金钱政治诱人跳糟,进而循后门夺权执政霹雳州的做法。胡栋强这种论强简直就是违背民青团反对跳糟的政治立场。

如果民政党乃至民青团领袖为了在党内博上位而公然埋没良心,甚至发表违背政党立场的言论,而不敢谴责整个闹剧的始作俑者──纳吉与巫统,民政党的明天难免会像青春小鸟一去不回来!

WAKIL RAKYAT PAKATAN RAKYAT (PR) DI PULAU PINANG MENGECAM TINDAKAN BARISAN NASIONAL (BN) YANG MEMBELAKANGKAN PRINSIP DEMOKRASI

Semua wakil rakyat PR menyeru Barisan Nasional (BN) harus memberikan tumpuan bagi menyelamat dan mewujudkan peluang pekerjaan serta merangsangkan pertumbuhan ekonomi Negara, bukannya hanya memfokuskan kepada ‘membeli’ wakil rakyat Pakatan Rakyat (PR) untuk merampas kuasa secara political coup d’etat dan belukar raya.

1. Semua wakil rakyat PR di Pulau Pinang, mengecam tindakan tiga (3) wakil rakyat daripada Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) seorang wakil rakyat daripada Democratic Action Party (DAP) di Negeri Perak yang melompat masuk menyokong BN sehingga menyebabkan PR kehilangan majoritinya di Dewan Undangan Negeri Perak. Tindakan ini disifatkan sebagai suatu tindakan khianat kepada budaya demokrasi dan derhaka kepada mandat rakyat untuk PR dalam Pilihanraya Umum 2008.

2. Semua wakil rakyat PR di Pulau Pinang mengecam BN yang membelakangkan prinsip demokrasi yang menolak suara rakyat serta menggunakan taktik politik yang kotor dan jijik untuk ‘membuatkan’ empat wakil rakyat PR berpaling tadah.

3. Semua wakil rakyat PR Pulau Pinang mendesak semua pihak di Perak menghormati suara padu dan hasrat bulat rakyat di mana 54% rakyat Perak menolak BN dan memberikan mandat kepada PR memerintah Perak dalam Pilihanraya Umum 2008 dengan membubarkan Dewan Undangan Negeri Perak untuk mengembalikan kuasa kepada rakyat Perak menentukan nasib dan masa depan mereka.

4. Menuntut satu undang-undang anti-lompat parti digubal agar mandat rakyat dan budaya demokrasi ditegakkan dan dipelihara.

5. Mengecam dan mengutuk keras tindak-tanduk Datuk Seri najib Tun Razak, Timbalan Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang membuka lembaran hitam pemerintahannya sebagai Perdana Menteri dengan manupulasi politik kotor demi mengalihkan perhatian umum ke atas kehilangan sokongan rakyat kepada BN dan beliau dalam Pilihanraya kecil Permatang Pauh dan Kuala Terangganu serta isu-isu kontroversi yang lain.

**Kecaman dan kutukan ini diperakui dan dipersetujui oleh semua ADUN PR Negeri Pulau Pinang termasuk YB Prof. P. Ramasamy dan YB Sim Tze Tzin yang berada di Kuala Lumpur serta YB Phee Boon Poh yang berada di New Zealand.
