KKK-Keeping Kuantan 'K'lean (II)

Last few days,I managed to get some replies from the MCA man,Dato Ti and one of the Pahang's Exco members about this project..I've voiced my concern to them about it..

It's not that hard if you want the government to listen actually..Tell them,"I am government's supporter,but I don't want this project to be carried on..What should I do?"..Then only they will reply to you..Tak payah nak marah-marah,kutuk-kutuk or blame anyone..I don't think this issue should be turned into a political war..

For me,both sides have done a good thing..Goverment has a good intention in approving this project,but maybe has overlooked it in certain ways,while PR also has done well in highlighting it..Kudos to both~..Kalau korang nak berasak pun,lepas-lepas ni laa..For now,let us make the best decision first..Politik kemudian please..

Dato' S told me that they are going to listen to AELB (Atomic Energy Licensing Board) this week before anything..I told him not to just 'listen' but grill these people,including Lynas..huhu..Macam sapa lak aku nak suruh-suruh diorg ni..haha~Tapi aku peduli apa,politician should be the people's servant,not the other way around,without any disrespect though..

This kind of culture should always be encouraged and nurtured in Malaysia..So,kerajaan tidak boleh buat sesuatu sesuka hati before approving any projects..So it shows a good check-and-balance democracy..~

And today,I think MCA has done the right move..



Let us see what will happen next...

p/s: Kadang-kadang memang ada rasa tak sabar nak balik..

KKK-Keeping Kuantan 'K'lean

In one of my posts,I discussed about how important it is for Kuantan,or Pahang as a general,to attract a lot of investors to the state so that we could generate more income for the government and keep on bringing developments to the people..


Lynas' rare earth refinery project will definitely bring a lot of downstream economic impacts (like how they said it),but we have to be really careful and transparent in our deal with this foreign investors..Jangan main sebattttt jerr.. Jangan kena tipu sudah.. 

Kuantan adalah salah satu bandar yang paling bersih di Malaysia..And now we are dealing with one of the most controversial environmental issues in the history of the country..

On personal ground, I don't agree with this project..From my researches,it really seems that this project is a kind of experiment in the rare earth industry..No one can guarantee that the processing can be done safely enough to make the local environmental risks worth the promised economic rewards..

Projek ini memang boleh mendatangkan kesan ekonomi yang positif pada rakyat dan kerajaan negeri/negara.. Tapi pada masa yang sama,apa yang lebih penting adalah kesannya pada alam sekitar dan kesihatan masyarakat..Selagi kita belum ada experts kita sendiri untuk handle mende ni,it seems like it's a big gamble for us to continue with this project..Because we are depending almost 100% on Lynas punya kepakaran..Diorg tu bisnes..Nak invest kat Kuantan pun sebab it would cost the company four times as much to build and operate such a refinery in Australia, with some higher labor and construction costs..But I'm not ignoring the fact that Gebeng has a very world-class facilities..


"The refinery plant is being built in Malaysia due to the readily available industrial infrastructure, including  industrial land, sources of gas, water and electricity, re-agents from local suppliers and a port that can manage container, chemical and bulk shipments. The area where the plant is being built also offers much knowledge infrastructure, such as technical and trade skills and chemical industry experience. The government infrastructure is in place and provides accountable regulators, clear legal frameworks and FDI incentives." -Lynas

Since the last 3-4 weeks,baru semalam dan hari ni ada statements dari kerajaan,and it's not convincing enough..Ni bukan perkara main-main beb..It involves health and safety of the people and the environment.. Tak kena gaya,jadi mutant orang-orang Kuantan nanti..haha (ooops,it's not suppose to be funny)~

Tapi saya mungkin salah,and the government must prove us wrong..Convince us with a proper report or set up an inquiry..Not just statements..

We need to know about it's :
  • Biological effects of the radiation waste
  • National Codes on Radioactive Waste (kita ada ke tak,what are the codes,what's the standards,etc..)
  • Compliance and Enforcement (ni masalah paling besar,plus consistency)
  • Emissions to Air and Sewers
  • Strategies for Avoiding the Use of Radioactive Materials
    Strategies for Reducing the Volume of Radioactive Waste
    Strategies to Minimise the Quantity of Radioactive Waste Created
    Strategies for Return and Reuse of Radioactive Materials (ni semua paling penting)
  • On-site Management and Storage,Discharge etc..
  • Risk Management 
  • Dan banyak lagiiiiiiiiii...
thorium
At least kalau mende-mende ni semua diexplain,sekurang-kurangnya kita dapat membetulkan persepsi masyarakat..Ini orang dengar 'Thorium' pun dah takut..Sapa tak takut,1 tonne of thorium can produce as much energy as 200 tonnes of uranium..Huh?Ko gilaaa??

Lariiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...haha~




So,pandai-pandai laaa government oiiiii...Buatlah yang terbaik..Duit bukan segala-galanya..

Anyway,again secara peribadi,gua tak setuju..I'm not convinced..Tak ada orang yang boleh guarantee mende ni,termasuk all the scientists..It's still a new field to be discovered..Europe countries pun,paling kuat nak recycle computers and handphones jer..Less risks..

Gua nak Kuantan stay dengan apa yang ada hari ini..Udara nyaman,bau fresh,pantai bersih,sungai not bad etc..Hmm,kalau aku balik for good nanti tengok korang buat tempat aku macam haram jay,memang kenaaa laaa nanti~

Sekian pengomelan aku hari ni..Kalau korang tak paham,buat laa research sendiri..huhu~

Masyarakat kita perlu dididik bahawa alam sekitar adalah perkara yang amat penting dalam kehidupan..

..and this is our chance to show them that we care!

Minal jinnati wannas

Yang kedua..

Semalam saya juga dikejutkan lagi dengan satu dugaan yang lain pulak jenis dia..
Masuk kali ni,dah 4-5 kali jumpa mende-mende begini di Australia..
Yup,jangan ingat di oversea takde mende-mende ni..
Perihal jin dan manusia..

I don't believe in this kind of things actually..Tapi saya tidak menolak kewujudannya..
Because I've seen some with my own eyes,termasuk semalam..Melihat betapa jahatnya syaitan dan jin ini..

My friend asked me for my help,and I will definitely try my best to help him to recover..

Syaitan dan jin hanya ada satu niat mereka,untuk menyesatkan manusia..
Percaya kepada perkara-perkara sebegini hanya akan mencacatkan akidah kita..
So fight them!or just ignore..Don't fall and be strong~

Al-Fatihah

Yesterday,a mixture of things happened with each of the events has given me a different kind of feelings and views in life..

Pertama sekali,I would like to extend my condolences to Jomey and Aishah,atas kehilangan insan yang disayangi..Insyallah,sebenarnya ada satu kelebihan bagi ibu bapa yang kehilangan anak-anak ketika mereka masih kecil,kerana anak-anak ini telah dijanjikan syurga oleh Allah s.w.t..Their place in heaven is guaranteed..

Kalau amalan kita baik,insyallah satu hari nanti di akhirat,anak-anak ini diberi privilege untuk meminta kepada Allah s.w.t sesiapa yang mereka ingin untuk bersama-sama mereka di syurga,termasuklah ibu bapa mereka..It is almost like the same privilege given to anak-anak yang soleh dan solehah..Semoga sabar menempuh segala dugaan..

Al-Fatihah..:-(..

Loves and hugs from Adelaide~

Midfield General

Demam bola tak abis lagi ni..huhu! Al-maklumlah sebab Liverpool saya dah mula ok balik..heheh..:-)..Bila semangat Liverpool naik,semangat saya nak main bola pun naik laa balik..Wooohooooo!!!

Suddenly,again I feel so energetic and full of enthusiasm to play the most beautiful sport on earth..~SOCCER~..Really looking forward to play and perform this season..:-)

Masa kecik-kecik dulu nak main bola untuk Pahang,tapi kena paksa study..Jadi sekarang, ambik ko,study ntah ke mana,aku nak main bola tahun ni..tak kira!!haha..Kalau Mama baca ni mampuih aku..huhu..Just kidding..Usually when I perform well in soccer,my studies will get the positive impact too..:-)..Kalau study gua bagus,main bola pun steadyyy..Get what I mean?..haha..

When I went to the States with the family in 1994,we stayed in the same hotel with the US Women's national team in LA..If I'm not mistaken,they just won the Women's World Cup before that or a year after..USA pulak baru lepas jadi host World Cup '94..So,time tu berangan laa nak pegi US lepas abis sekolah,nak main club kat sana.. Time tu jugak masih famous dengan cerita seorang anak Melayu main American Football League professionally..Apa nama dia tak ingat..Konon nak jadi first Malaysian main bola kat US laa..haha! Berangan...akhirnya,US ke mana,apa ke mana..

Hehe..sebenarnya,a few days ago,I had a chat with one Malay guy,a Singaporean..Bercerita pasal orang Melayu di oversea..Pasal kebolehan dan penerimaan orang putih terhadap bangsa kita..A little bit about meritocracy..Dia cakap mat saleh kat Aussie ni akan pandang rendah kat kita biasanya at first,and we always have to show them that we are at the same level with them,if not better..Especially in sports,because of our size and attitude..Orang Melayu ni malas dengan commitment katanya..This guy,Samir,told me about his experience.. Then,when we talked about my new football club,he challenged me to prove that I can be better than the rest..Bagi diorg pandang sikit orang Melayu..hehe!Semangat betul dia... Gua?..Gua cuma nak main bola and experience a new thing..If I can make the squad,it's good enough for me..Maklum lah,umur dah dekat ngan Carragher dah..haha!Lagipun,my main intention is to make friends,outside of my own community..

As promised,I gave my full commitments..Setelah dua kali training yang buat gua rasa nak mampus dan keluar muntah hijau,dan dua kali trial friendly,malam tadi,I got an email from Andrew..All the 4 panel coaches liked me..Cabaran pertama Samir untuk saya menjadi anak Melayu pertama mengemudi jentera midfield club ni,dah menjadi kenyataan..This weekend, it'll be my first official pre-season match as the 'midfield general'..;-)..Quite nervous though..There are two former state players in the team,so the expectation is quite high..Wish me luck!Here comes Azrul Jabber..heheh~Walaupun club biasa jer,I'm happy enough..~


Owh yaaa...It's gonna be a very long season..The Cup Tournament and the League will only finished at the end of September..Mampus laa aku..huhu!Last season club ni mid-table,hopefully tahun ni boleh jadi top 4 at least,pastu boleh masuk Champions League lawan Liverpool..eh salah!hehe..Hmm,should I get a new boots??

Lepas Arsenal kalah semalam,gua bbm Fabregas tanya dia,"Apasal lu back heel ke player Barca semalam?"..Dia jawab,"Lu jgn bgtau Kale,gua nak main ngan Barca next season..hehe!"

"Aah,gua peduli apa..Eh bro,sedap ke kasut yang lu pegang tu?"..Maka Fabre berkata,"It's an essential for a midfield general"..

~To win the midfield battle,you have to take control~

Aduhhhhhhh...maka dengan kata-kata itu,leburrrrrrr lah duit aku...Cilakak betuiiii!

Wahai CTR360 Maestri II Elite,I am in love~
Make me wait no more..;-(

Janganlah ko tak sampai minggu niiii..huhu!
