Koleksi Midi Lagu Kanak-Kanak








Sekiranya kamu dapati dirimu menyintai seseorang yang tidak membalas
cintamu, janganlah merasa tersisih dan sedih. Tiada salahnya
menyintai seseorang kerana cinta tidak memilih untuk singgah di hati
seseorang

Sekiranya kamu dicintai oleh seseorang yang tidak kamu cintai,
anggaplah ia satu penghormatan buat dirimu tetapi selitkan
penghormatan itu dengan cara yang ikhlas dan jujur. Jangan ambil
kesempatan dan janganlah melukakan.

Bagaimana kamu mengurusi cinta begitulah kamu mengurusi dirimu dan
setiap hati dan perasaan mengalami kepedihan dan kebahagiaan yang
serupa sekalipun cara kita mengendalikannya berbeza.

Sekiranya kita bercinta dengan seseorang yang begitu menyintai diri
kita dan tiba tiba cinta memilih untuk pergi, tiada siapa yang harus
dipersalahkan, relakanlah cinta itu pergi. Kerana setiap yang
berlaku ada maksud yang tersembunyi. Dan kita akan menyedari apabila
masa silih berganti

Ingatlah bahawa jangan terlalu memilih cinta. Kerana cinta itu
sendiri akan memilih untuk singgah di hati sesiapa. Kamu hanya perlu
menerima kehadiran cinta itu dengan segala misteri didalamnya
apabila ia datang mengetuk pintu hatimu. Nikmatinya sebagaimana ia
membuat hidupmu bahagia dan bebaskan ia. Cinta sentiasa dan
selamanya akan menjadi misteri. Bersyukurlah kerana ianya pernah
singgah di hati kamu...

"Saya sayang
awak! "

Tuhanku, semoga aku ingin lebih menghibur daripada
dihibur, memahami daripada difahami, mencintai daripada dicintai.

Kerana dengan memberi aku menerima, dengan memaafkan aku dimaafkan,
dengan cinta aku bangkit kembali

dan dengan cinta aku hidup abadi......

SAMBUTAN MEI 1 2007:DATARAN BANDARAYA JOHOR BARU BERGEMA DENGAN TUNTUTAN PEKERJA
1hb Mei ,Kuala Lumpur senyap sunyi akan tetapi di Dataran Bandaraya , di Johor Baru bergema laungan slogan pekerja kerana Sambutan Mei 1, buat kali pertamanya diadakan di negeri Johor. Tahun ini merupakan tahun ke -14 Sambutan Mei 1 dianjurkan oleh Jawatankuasa penganjur Mei 1. Sambutan tahun ini dianjurkan bersama oleh JERIT, SUARAM, Parti Sosialis Malaysia , DEMA, PAS, PRM , DAP, RAKAN, kumpulan Pelajar dari Universiti Teknologi Malaysia dan ramai kumpulan lagi.

Hujan lebat pada awal pagi reda dan memberi laluan kepada sambutan hari bersejarah ini diadakan.Lebih kurang jam 9 pagi, semua bas dari Selangor tiba di tempat sambutan Mei 1, Dataran Bandaraya JB lebih awal daripada waktu sambutan iaitu 10 pagi. Ini menambahkan semangat penganjur tempatan apabila melihat banjiran kelas pekerja dari semua sektor di sana. Sebelum pukul 10 pagi, bas- bas dari Perak tiba di tempat sambutan bersejarah ini. Lebih kurang 600 orang membanjiri kawasan Dataran Bandaraya. Kerisauan dapat dilihat di muka pegawai Majlis Bandaraya Johor Bahru apabila mereka mula tercari-cari siapakah penganjur untuk hari bersejarah ini. Program dimulakan dengan ucapan alu-aluan pengerusi majlis Saudara Nazman, Saudara Letchumanan dan Saudara Nyam.

Program diteruskan dengan bacaan puisi yang bertajuk Mei 1, oleh Saudara Giman dari Parti Rakyat Malaysia (PRM) . Suasana bertambah semangat lagi apabila wakil pekerja ladang, Sdra Velayudham menegaskan bahawa pekerja ladang telah menyumbang ke arah pembangunan negara tetapi mereka masih hidup tertindas sehingga kini. Setelah 2 lagi ucapan dari wakil petani dan peneroka dari Johor, upacara pelancaran tema dan logo dijalankan.

Pelancaran tema dan logo hari bersejarah ini dilakukan oleh Gabungan Anak Muda dan Pelajar(GAMP) dengan sketsa yang berlandaskan tema tahun ini "50 Tahun Merdeka, Pekerja Masih Dijajah". Sketsa ini menggambarkan keadaan pekerja sebelum merdeka dan selepas merdeka. Lakonan menggambarkan bahawa keadaan pekerja sekarang serupa seperti sebelum zaman merdeka, di mana eksploitasi terhadap pekerja berleluasa dan ini diakhiri dengan para pekerja menumbangkan golongan kapitalis yang menindas mereka.

Program diteruskan dengan ucapan daripada wakil peneroka Kampung Berembang. En Anizan yang berkongsi pengalaman perjuangan mereka di Kampung Berembang dan juga menegaskan bahawa peneroka bandar mempunyai hak dan tidak boleh diusir mengikut suka hati pihak pemerintah. Wakil anak muda dan pelajar, Sdra Amin Yusof pula menyeru golongan mahasiswa untuk sentiasa bersama masyarakat dalam memperjuangkan keadilan dan hak asasi mereka.

Tidak harus dilupakan, 8 jam kerja sehari yang dinikmati sekarang adalah hasil tumpahan darah perjuangan kelas pekerja pada tahun 1880-an di Amerika yang membawa kepada pengikitirafan 1 Mei sebagai hari pekerja. Sejarah perjuangan hari keramat ini dilakonkan oleh rakan- rakan aktivis dari Community Development Centre (CDC). Setelah beberapa lagi ucapan wakil pekerja, persembahan anak- anak Kg. Berembang menghiasi suasana dengan nyayian yang menceritakan perjuangan hak asasi mereka untuk rumah!

Sambutan Mei 1 2007 di Johor diakhiri dengan pembacaan deklarasi tuntutan pekerja dan nyanyian lagu Internasional. Deklarasi Mei 1 2007, disokong oleh 94 organisasi, satu jumlah yang tinggi kalau dibandingkan dengan tahun-tahun lepas. Semasa pembacaan deklarasi Mei 1 2007, ramai yang hadir mara ke hadapan bersama- sama kain rentang yang membawa tuntutan mereka. 13 tuntutan pekerja sempena Hari Pekerja 2007 dibacakan dengan kuat dan penuh semangat. Akhirnya, lagu Internasional iaitu lagu perjuangan pekerja bergema di Dataran Bandaraya JB dengan kibaran tangan perjuangan, tidak lupa juga laungan "Hidup Pekerja", "Hidup Perjuangan" dalam tiga bahasa.

Mei 1 akan sentiasa mengingatkan kelas pemerintah akan kekuatan dan semangat kelas pekerja di seluruh dunia yang telah berjaya mengalahkan kapitalis untuk mendapatkan hak mereka. Semangat dan solidariti pekerja pada Mei 1 1886 harus terus bara di jiwa setiap pekerja untuk menuntut hak mereka kerana penindasan terhadap pekerja terus berlaku sehingga hari ini. 50 Tahun Merdeka; PEKERJA MASIH DIJAJAH!

Kita tiada apa untuk dihilangkan, hanya rantai penindasan sahaja!

Kita ada seluruh dunia untuk dimenangi

HIDUP PEKERJA! HIDUP PERJUANGAN!

Chaos reigns in Kg Berembang













Nov 30, 06 1:24pm










The Ampang
Jaya Municipal Council tore down the only remaining structure in Kampung
Berembang in Ampang - a surau - but not before leaving the 30-year-old village
looking like a battle ground.


Scores of residents of Kampung Berembang, along with
members of several non-government organisations and political parties, were
involved in a physical battle with enforcement officers from the council, who
were backed by police and the Federal Reserve Unit to save the surau.


Last week, the council had demolished
all the 50-odd houses in the village, leaving only the surau behind - that
too after a long and hard protest by the villagers and members of a grassroots
movement, Jerit.



The villagers had since put up makeshift shelters amid
their demolished houses in the bid to protect the surau.


This morning, MPAJ, armed with four bulldozers, came in to finish the job and
again they faced stiff resistence from the villagers.

Some 60 villagers and activists had stood steadfast in their last stand against
the demolition. They had also parked their vehicles in a cordon around the
surau to stop the bulldozers.

Attempts by the pro-tem
secretary-general of Parti Sosialis Malaysia S Arutchelvan to negotiate with
enforcement agencies failed and a scuffle broke out when the MPAJ personnel
started uprooting trees just outside the surau.








But the situation got out of hand when the MPAJ
enforcement team started cutting the fence of the surau at 11am.


They then towed away the
vehicles cordoning the surau using MPAJ tow-trucks to an unknown
destination.


Battle

field



Villagers who tried to block the demolition were violently shoved and pushed
aside by the MPAJ enforcement officers, who numbered more than 100.






Things took an ugly turn when the
police and the FRU joined the fray to beat the villagers and their
supporters who had gathered there.


Women and children, who were holed up inside the surau, were also not
spared.

The enforcement officers were aggressive against both the women and children.
One woman who had locked herself with a steel chain to
the surau was forcibly removed.

The officers were seen pulling the hair of some of the women and slapping the
children who refused to leave the surau.

"I was afraid but somehow I found the courage to try to
stop the officers, maybe because I care for the surau," said Aida
Suhaida (below), 15, who was
slapped by a MPAJ officer.

"We are women, and the men should not touch
us, but they kicked me and stepped on my stomach while I was sitting at the
(surau's) staircase," said Norhasliana Osman Taad, 22, who was pull by the
officers until her cloth was torn.


"They slapped my face until my eyes turned red. The
children were also stepped on by them," she said.

In the aftermath of the
melee, 11 people - nine activists and two villagers - were arrested and taken
to the Ulu Kelang Taman Keramat police station and Ampang Jaya police station.


As the dust settled, Kampung Berembang looked like a battle zone with
villagers fallen to the ground, some crying in pain, about
four fainted and some vomited as a result of sheer exhaustion.

By 1pm, the MPAJ had completed their surau demolition job.

Is it over for Kg Berembang? No the debate has just started!


Malaysiakini's Yoges Palaniappan first had written:

It’s all over for Kg Berembang

"After putting up a stern and sustained fight to
defend their homes for almost four months, Kampung Berembang villagers
in Ampang today finally succumbed to the combined might of the local
authorities and a private developer....."

But then Parti Sosialis reply with

BEREMBANG – IT IS NOT OVER YET !



"There were only three houses to be demolished and a number of tents but
yet it took hundreds of policemen and women including the FRU, the
Developer's people and their thugs to demolish the houses and bring
down the fierce resistance put out by the Berembang settlers and the
activist who stood with them. ...."

Let's read the contents:



It’s all over for Kg Berembang

Mar 7, 07 5:29pm

After putting up a stern and sustained fight to
defend their homes for almost four months, Kampung Berembang villagers
in Ampang today finally succumbed to the combined might of the local
authorities and a private developer.

Today
was the day the private developer succeeded in tearing down all the
houses in the village to bring this 30-year-old settlement to rubbles.

At
the end, the developers, with the assistance of the Ampang Jaya
Municipal Council (MPAJ), managed to evict some 470 long time residents
from the village - situated less than 10km from the Petronas Twin
Towers in Kuala Lumpur.

The operations started at 8am and was
carried out by a private developer with instructions from Acmar
International, a company which has entered into joint ventures with
Permodalan Negeri Selangor Berhad (PNSB), the land owners.

The private demolition squad was aided by the police force and Federal Reserve Unit (FRU).

Villagers,
together with activists from grassroots support group Jerit and student
movement Dema, gathered inside remaining houses to prevent demolition.

A
team of about 90 police personnel and 69 FRU personnel removed the
squatters and gave way for the developers to tear down the houses which
were left from the previous demolition exercise on Monday.

Then operation was temporarily halted after Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) intervened on behalf of the residents.

Yesterday,
a negotiation between the developers and the villagers was called off
with instructions from the Selangor state government.

This
village has been a scene of chaos and destruction when MPAJ, backed by
Rela, the police and the FRU, had failed to complete their demolition
exercise on four occasions - Nov 17, 20 and 30, and last Monday.

Disobeying court order

Socialist
Party of Malaysia’s pro-tem secretary general, S Arutchelvan said the
demolition exercise proves the authorities’ abuse of power.

“We
have two separate injunctions filed at the Shah Alam High Court to
decide on the future of the land. The ex parte injunction will be heard
on March 14, whereas the interim injunction will be heard on May 27.
Until then, nobody has the right to demolish the village,” he said.

“And
here, we see brutal abuse of power by police who help the private
developers to throw the villagers out of their homes with no respect to
the injunctions,” he added.

DAP state assemblyman for Sungai
Pinang, Teng Chang Khim, who is also the lawyer representing the
squatters, said that the injunctions only gave the developers the power
to prevent squatters from building new houses in the area, and not to
demolish the standing buildings.

Six arrested

According
to Ampang Jaya police chief Amer Awal, the police were present to
maintain the peace at the village after receiving a report from PNSB.

Also
present at the site was Acmar International chairman and former state
assemblyman for Morib, Samad Maharuddin. He declined to comment on the
demolition works and said that he was there just to monitor the
situation.

A total of six arrests were made today and two people were injured during the commotion between the squatters and authorities.

Parti
Keadilan Rakyat Information chief Tian Chua and other five others,
including three villagers, were arrested while trying to stop the
demolition this morning.

They have been taken to the Ulu Klang police station at Taman Sri Keramat and the Ampang police station at Taman Dagang.

A PKR press statement said that they were likely to be held overnight and brought to court tomorrow morning.

BEREMBANG – IT IS NOT OVER YET !

Ampang, 7 March 2007

There were only three houses to be demolished and a number of tents but
yet it took hundreds of policemen and women including the FRU, the
Developer's people and their thugs to demolish the houses and bring
down the fierce resistance put out by the Berembang settlers and the
activist who stood with them.

What would in normal circumstances take only half an hour to complete
took an entire day and till the last plank was removed, the resistance
never surrendered. At the end of the day, the Developer and the police
went into an agreement allowing the settlers to camp just outside the
current village area and the developer forked out RM 60,000 to pay some
compensation. It was astonishing to see the developer who previously
refuse to fork out even a cent succumb so fast. A black and white
agreement was signed with the developer, the police and the people's
representative putting their names on it and the agreement was
scrutinized by the settlers representative which would not stop them
from taking further action.

The lawyers who were at the scene – Latheefa Koya and later joined by
Edmond Bon and Teng Chang Khim all declared that the demolition today
was unlawful and the police's action illegal. The police led by ACP
Amer Awan though kept maintaining that he was only ensuring the peace
took a clear side in assisted the Developer – Perspektive Masa Sdn.
Bhd. to carry out this illegal operation. The lawyers seeing the
brutality in their own eyes have vowed to take legal action against
the developer and those who assisted them at the demolition.

The current legal tussle started when on Monday, the Kampung Berembang
Chairperson was served with a letter from Tabian Tahir & Co stating
that the Developer of Kampung Berembang –PNSB has obtained an Interim
Injunction to prevent the local people from stopping the developer's
work.

The same letter states that if the people do not follow the order then
the Developer can go for committal proceeding to execute the order.
This is normally done after two weeks the first notice is submitted but
on that same day, the developer with the full protection of RELA and
gangsters from Klang started demolition work. The interim Injunction
was not served on the people and legal experts have called this a
miscarriage of justice.

With no regards to due process, the developer armed with RELA and
gangsters and the police force went on the rampage. To make matters
worst, an inter parte hearing was fixed for the 14 th. Of March 2007
which is just next week. The people managed to stop the demolition the
other day. This morning, they came back again and it was said that the
Selangor Chief Minister himself Khir Toyo instructed the homes be
demolished and the Selangor Police Chief carried out the orders to
assist the developer.

The people resistance led by 60 remaining settlers has been backed
strongly by JERIT and its coalition members – Urban Poor Coalition and
the Youth and Student wing Coalition along with Parti Sosialis
Malaysia(PSM) led the fierce fight-back. Today's resistance also saw
the united front of the opposition parties joining in from PAS, PKR and
DAP leaders. Tian Chua was arrested while other leaders such as Dr.
Nasir Hashim, S.Arutchelvan, Hatta Ramli and Sallahuddin were all
physically removed from the houses. Later, it was made known that Tian
was arrested for "attempting murder" when all he did was break an
illegal barricade created by the developer and their thugs to stop
outsiders from coming into the village. All in, six people were
arrested for various ridiculous reasons but the police though arrested
dozen's of people at every encounter, released them immediately.

This morning, the developers attempted to seal the front entrance and
brought in their lorries and machinery to do earth work and remove the
peoples belonging as well as demolish the remaining houses. They were
met by strong resistance and many fights occurred at numerous occasion.
Both sides sustained injuries during these encounters. Two policewomen
were removed from the scene – one of them hurting her leg while the
other women just broke down and could not handle the pressure.

The settlers and the activist then stay put inside the houses while
hundreds of policemen and developers would try to demolish these homes.
It would take the police and the developers more than an hour to bring
down these houses in spite of their huge numbers. It would normally
just take 3 minutes to bring down a settlers house on normal
circumstances.

Background



Kampung Berembang is located at Jalan Ampang near Hospital Gleneagles.
There were at one time more than a hundred families living here and
they have been building this settlement forty years ago. In 2003, the
people were promised low-cost houses by Pemodalan Negeri Selangor
Berhad, Acmar International and Perspektif Masa Sdn Bhd. These homes
were to be built near the current village but these houses are yet to
be built.

Under these circumstances, the settlers were given eviction notice on
17/11/2005 to vacate the village. They were not given alternative
permanent homes but were offered temporary homes at Puchong – 30km
away. The settlers refused and asked for relocation near-by as it is
the State Government policy to relocate within 2-3km. The State used
the draconian Emergency Clearance of Squatter regulation 1969 and gave
the villagers seven days to get out. A group of brave settlers then
decided to fight this order and they were assisted by Sdr. Teng Chang
Khim – the State opposition leader who was their lawyer for the case.

A temporary injunction ensured their homes were saved initially. On 14
November 2006, the State Government claimed that the land belonged to
them while the settlers maintained that land had already been given to
a private developer. The court fixed April 30 th. to hear the case.
Just three days after that on the 17 November and then on the 20
November, the local council (MPAJ) with the assistance of the police
and developers came to demolish the homes. Many people were arrested
and injured. The people rebuilt the houses and on 30 November, the
houses and the surau(Place of worship) was demolished. The people have
since rebuilt their homes until the latest attack on 5 th. March 2007.

Aftermath



After the last house was brutally torn down, some reports have
indicated that this is the end of Kampung Berembang. The battle was
lost today but the war remains to be fought and won. The people have
merely retreated 50 meters outside the current settlement. They have
put up their tents. With their original settlement fully closed, the
struggle would now focus outside. While the ground was lost today, the
spirit remains among some of the settlers who have pledged to carry on
the struggle.

The last three days has seen intense struggle between the settlers and
the developers. The police, the State and even the courts seem to be
with the oppressors. Malaysia with all its wealth cannot resolve the
housing issues of its people. There seem to be no political will and
the battle for housing rights is far from over – in Berembang, Rimba
Jaya and else where.

Tales from the Drunk Side: Death and Kg Berembang


When I die, I would like to be cremated and my ashes shot into space on a collison course to the sun.

I don't want any worms or bugs or blowfly larvae to eat my flesh. Have a real problem with that.

Failing
that, cause I am a Muslim and they will steal my body before anyone can
set fire to it or wire it up with C4 explosives, I'd settle for a
vacuum-sealed, airtight coffin with anti-bacterial coating.

Inside a three kilometre thick slab of lead. Inside Area 51. Or Kg Berembang.

Now,
Kg Berembang - that's a story no Malaysian newspaper will tell properly
because Malaysians are idiots and believe everything they're told.
You're all stupid, so get back in your cages and eat your banana. And
don't forget to go in the corner.

Anyway, since you're all stupid, why not listen to this side of the story rather than that one: Read Lainie the Lesbian's first hand account here and here.

Long
story short, the property developers Acmar International and Perspektif
Masa tore down the houses at Kg Berembang, allegedly disregarding a
court hearing of the case scheduled on March 14.

Here's a list of projects the company is involved in, taken from this page.

Here is a picture - taken from the same website - of the guy who found the company, the great Mr Tee Leh Teck.



And here is the cover of a comic book I happen to have just lying around in my hard drive:



They accused Tian Chua of PKR of attempted murder and he is now facing 20 years in prison, while the developers who sought to demolish buildings with people still inside them will get away scott free.

Not that I have any sympathies whatsoever with PKR - you guys suck, man - but that's not right.

So
now presented with all this information - text, testimonials, pictures
and even fucking videos of what's happening in the country, plus some
minor parodies, what are Malaysians going to do?

Absolutely nothing.

Cause
Malaysians suck. Malaysians are stupid. Malaysians are lazy. Malaysians
are greedy, like pigs. The lives and homes of Malaysians are worth less
than nothing. No one is going to do a Goddamned thing. Tian Chua will
rot in jail. Perspektif Masa will be the next big YTL Corp by building
and bulldozing over poor people.

And those who read newspapers
which should be reporting the truth will point fingers at the poor
people of Kg Berembang and say, "Ha-haaa! Fucking squatters. Now squat
this, bitch!"

Eight months down the line, people who make more
than RM100,000 a year will snap up 505 houses and apartments at Kg
Berembang, built over the homes of those Malaysians stupid enough to be
born poor. Ha-haah! Your father's not a millionaire. Neener neener
neener!

And KJ claps meerily, expecting the birth of his spawn
which will cement his claim to the throne of Malaysia; and Pak Lah
dances to the tune of Nak Dara Rindu. As piece by piece, we sell our
country to Singapore to fund the rise of ambitious politicians.

C'mon, everybody, let's have a party! Money wins!

Oh,
man. When I die, I want that fucking cremation ceremony. Or be blast
off into space. I don't wnt to be buried here cause Perspektif Masa and
Acmar whatever might want to steal my grave and stick concrete pylons
down my ass.

I wish I could say that this is not my country
anymore and that I got an offer from Robert Rodriguez to write scripts
for his next movie. Or Harper Collins suddenly is giving me a 600,000
pound sterling advance on a book I'm going to write.

But I can't.

Oh
well. Do you think Perspektif Masa would be interested in publishing a
magazine or coffee table book for its future residents?

Or maybe they would need artistes and whatever for the unveiling of Mr Tee's new statue:



Who the fuck gives a shit?

What
kind a bloody selfish attitude is that? Wanting to deprive creepy
crawlies and all creatures disgusting of their God-bleeping right to a
piece of the food-chain! That's downright selfish of you, so devoid of
the great human spirit of sharing and oneness, etc... etc...

[shaking head]

I'm
so disappointed in you, Amir. I took you for an equal opportunity earth
squatter. You ARE one of us, aren't you, inspite of the cape? (In any
case I heard a phuket ho did the kryptonite test on you and... well,
you're still around. :D)

The way I see it, if we Malaysians (and
you ARE one, if not by the ermm... virtue of the phuket ho, then by
virtue of the 'Malay' in your blog moniker) can allow loathesome
cretins like KJ and that [yikes!] bloated Tee thing to feast on us
alive, why make a fuss when we're just rotting meat, huh?

He's playing god!


MPAJ's Rampage in obliterating the village of Kg.Berembang!




These
photos show how members of JERIT, largely comprised of poor Malaysian
Indians coming to help save the homes of their fellow Malaysian Malays!

Chinese
Malaysians also bravely confront the cruel MPAJ Demolition squad and
put themselves in harm's way before the swinging batons and truncheons
of the FRU and get walloped, pummelled and beaten to a pulp for daring
to try and stop the destruction of the Kg.Berembang poor squatter
colony!

Homes
of the poor are bulldozed mercilessly by those whom the villagers now
know that they are no better than gangsters in uniform!

The
Malays of Kg Berembang now have seen how the very people whom many
thought were their enemies and will 'rob' them of their rights and
'Ketuanan Melayu' must surely be regretting time held suspicions
against the Chinese and the Indians who are their defenders against
injustice that has been perpetrated against them by their own kind!

Today,
the villagers of Kg Berembang are seeing with their own eyes that the
'Keling Hindu' are the ones who are willing to shed their own blood by
lying down on the grounds to stop the MPAJ demolition crews from
bulldozing the Malay villagers homes!

Look at this Malaysian
Indian brave fellow citizen who has laid down himself to stop the MPAJ
Destroyers from harming the squatters homes!

This is the 'Keling
Hindu' who is despised by some of the racist idiots all these while
thinking so badly of the Indians of Malaysia and now who ought to be
ashamed of themselves for failing to realise that evil exists even in
their own races and fellow 'Muslims'!

I put the ' marks here because a true Muslim will never commit these injustices as those being done by the MPAJ!

Look
at the faces of these poor people whose kids are now traumatised by
seeing their homes, the places they grew up in, be there no more!

Verily, those responsible for causing these children to cry in fear and despair will not have a good end!

The
Kg Berembang villagers will surely curse the animals in uniform who did
not spare them a thought and have bulldozed their homes! They will now
see their fellow 'Malays' in the MPAJ to be what they truly are !
Devils in uniform!

No amount of pleading will change the minds of those whose hearts are closed!

Asking
these corrupted ones to spare a thought about where the villagers will
sleep tonight is as asking a stonewall for compassion!

They are blind to all these ! They are deaf, dumb and heartless towards the poor!

To
the rich and infamous, they'll kiss the hands of those who have the
ringgits! Such are those who are not bothered as to the rights of the
poor!

All
these people have gathered to show support to the villagers yet found
out that they are dealing with those whose hearts have been blackened
with arrogance and contempt for the poor!

These social activists put to practice what many in UMNO just preach!

These
folks from JERIT are not kith or kin to the Kg Berembang villagers yet
here they are ; ready to face the dangers from the FRU and MPAJ
Demolition crews who are ready to beat them up without mercy!

These youths who have been arrested are not the 'Mat Rempits' being spoonfed by Putera UMNO!

These are university students and activists from JERIT who are only trying to help the Kg Berembang villagers!


These
are people who do not have nothing but compassion for their fellow
Malaysians. See the various ethnicities gathered here to defend the
villagers homes!

See the rage in the eyes of this Malay MPAJ officer!

Is this the fellow Malay whom the Malays of Kg Berembang expecting to get any mercy from?

Where
is the 'semangat Melayu' from this tough guy? He'd smash you before you
can even say 'Hidup Melayu!' and beat you to a pulp for daring to stand
up for the rights of the common citizen!

From all those buttons on his shoulder, he's a first class merciless uniformed thug!

These are the Indians who dare to stand up to the Police and state their rights to defend the poor folks of Kg Berembang!

Malays out there! Look at who is defending your fellow Malays?

Is it Pemuda UMNO? Pemuda MCA? Gerakan?

Nahh.. they have bigger things to do. Like taking care of themselves and their pockets!

It's only activists like JERIT who dare defend the villagers!

Here are the MPAJ goon squads!

Here
are those who don't give a hoot as to where the poor villagers are
gonna sleep tonight and tomorrow and will only say ' We are just
following orders!'

Where is the love? None to give!

Look at who is getting arrested because he tried to help the Kg Berembang Malays?

It is none but an Indian Malaysian who has the heart to defend his fellow citizens regardless of race or religious differences!

Syabas Mr Arutchelvam of JERIT!

Malays
reading this report, take a good hard look at those whom some of the
dimwits amongst the population call derogatory terms and insults
against the Malaysian Indians as 'keling' and the Malaysian Chinese as
'China Bukit', etc!
These are the ones who have come forward as
fellow Malaysians and have the 'balls' to defend the largely Malay
squatter village of Kg.Berembang!

"Orang berbudi ; kita berbahasa!" Kawan ketika duka dan lara adalah kawan sejati!

Bukan macam pagar yang sebangsa dan seagama tetapi makan padi dengan begitu kejam dan lahap sekali!"

Meaning
' When people do us favors ; we reciprocate in return' and ' Not as
trusting the fence that is of the same race and faith but in turn
devour the padi @ rice in such cruelty and unabridled gluttony!
I feel so angry and sad at the same time reading and viewing the
destruction and cruel eviction methods being deployed by the MPAJ @
Majlis Perbandaran Ampang Jaya and the use of the FRU @ Federal Reserve
Units at the squatter colony at Kg.Berembang, Ampang, Selangor!

Kg.Berembang
is located behind the Gleneagles Hospital, Jalan Ampang, Selangor. All
these while, the squatter colony has been hidden from the public eyes
by the grand private hospital building, a 5 star medical centre ,
usually the treatment centre for the nation's Sultan's, VVIP's and the
cream of the crop, so to speak!

I understand that yes, the land does not belong to the villagers and that development is due to take place there.

But what I am not happy about is the manner in which the eviction has been carried out so far where the MPAJ has gone ahead and bulldozed
the homes of those people who have been living there since twenty
thirty years ago! Activists protesting the highhandedness of the cruel
MPAJ have been arrested and thrown into the lockups!

TVPAS shows the villagers expressing their hurt, their feelings and their grievances of being treated like trash by the MPAJ here!

The photos are sourced from JERIT and Malaysiakini.
May God bless them and also TvPAS.com for the brave work they are doing for the people of Malaysia!
News is information and Knowledge is Power! Remember all these pictures and the pain of the people!

These
people who have come and destroyed their homes are not 'Keling Hindu'
or 'China Bukit' @ derogatory names that those Malays who are racist
chauvinistic dimwits who at times will shout 'Hidup Melayu' whilst
threatening to bathe their 'kris'es with Chinese or Indian blood are
today perplexed to see none but these two ethnicities come forward to
defend their Malay kampongs from the heartless demolition team of their
fellow Malay majority MPAJ @ Majlis Perbandaran Ampang Jaya!
A Malaysian Indian woman gets arrested for wanting to protest against the demolition of Malay homes!
It
is a gross act of injustice when local authorities spare the illegally
built homes of the rich and infamous such as the 'Dream Palace' of
Datuk Zakaria Mat Deros in the village of Pandamaran, a humongous
structure jutting high above the village homes all around it ; yet are
so hardhanded when it comes to homes of the poor villagers of
Kg.Berembang!

What kind of a government do we have here in
Malaysia? We go help others when disaster strikes our neighbouring
countries and even go as far as Bam in Iran and to the quake hit
mountain villages in Pakistan, yet we have corrupt and screwed up ,
recalcitrant local authorities like the MPAJ and MPK, cruelly destroy
and crush the homes and belongings of the squatter villagers without
giving them the alternative housings and allow them to move their
belongings as they need to according to normal, decent, human to human
courtesy!

Are they vicious, hardcore criminals, out to create
mayhem and civil disorder that the FRU hve to be deployed to beat up
women and children in their iron fist policies against poor villagers
caught in a situation where they can't spit nor swallow?

Is this the example of how a caring government under the rhetoric of 'Islam Hadhari' of the ruling BN government?

Where is the spirit of human compassion that is being touted by these bloody politicians who do not practice what they preach?

I
for one can only ask Almighty Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to give those
culprits their dues for victimising the poor people and treat them
worse than criminals, by destroying the lifes and homes of such poor
people living a hard life behind the facade of Selangor being one of
the most developed states in Malaysia!

In their haste to
demolish the squatter colonies, the authorities in the MPAJ and
Selangor State Government have failed to exercise proper understanding
and compassion towards the citizens of this state!

Where is the kindness they portray in the tv news sections and propaganda through the multimedia?

Where
is the spirit of 'Islam Hadhari' that these hypocrites almost always
showcase in all the clearly self glorifying shows and concerts that
they hold every other day trying to fool the people that they are the
ones who are advocating the empty slogan of 'Cemerlang, Gemilang and
Terbilang' of the one's who are the top guns of this gone crazy local
authorities?

It
is clearly an injustice when a local authority fails to rule and go
about it in a manner befitting those who are carrying the trust and
responsibility placed upon them by a government that is voted into
power by all the citizens, both the filthy rich, the middle class and
the very poor citizens of this country and from those living in abject
poverty as those squatters in Kg.Berembang!

Never forget that those of you who are now in power will one day return to the earth!

Yes,
those of you, who live in palatial mansions, clothe yourselves in rich
, expensive materials, dine in 5 star comforts and splurge as you
please whilst still alive will one day be dead and cold, lying stiff,
awaiting burial by those whom you will surely leave behind!
Those
of you who go and wallop the poor! The women and the children! The poor
villager trying to defend his home, his wife, his children, his family
from your batons and shields, is going to raise his hands to Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and ask God to teach you who are cruel! He is going
to cry to Allah and ask that Allah teaches you all a lesson!

Are you that great that you can go on and commit such gross injustice to your fellow citizens?

The people will know what to do come the fateful day when we shall decide where our votes go to in the next General Election!
If you all still remain in power, then the Malaysian people surely deserve you! Really!

People
of Malaysia, wake up now to the harsh reality behind all the lovey
dovey propaganda that is being pushed to us by 'Cemerlang, Gemilang,
Terbilang' spewing hard hearted ones in the MPAJ and State Government
of Selangor!

They
say that if you want to know whether justice prevails in the land, see
whether only the poor get punished for being poor and the rich get away
with everything?

To me, it surely looks like , justice in this
land has been gang raped, sodomised and murdered! To top it all up, the
perpetrators claim that they are innocent and the victims are the ones
who violated them in the first place!No wonder the scales are lopsided
all these while! Apathy Rules!

They have never been calibrated
all these 49 years of ruling as they pleased! Tome to get new ones!May
Justice be upheld in this country by punishing all the tyrants in power
today! Ameen!

The
main culprit here are those in power, directing the action without
conscience. It is not that the law should be disregarded but the
enforcement of the codes must take into account of the situation. There
should be, I believe, alternative source of avenue to solve the problem.

The Kg Berembang tragedy





You
won't read about this in the mainstream newspapers. Especially not in
Utusan Malaysia. This is the kind of thing that makes my blood boil
like an active volcano.




"The
Ampang Jaya Municipal Council tore down the only remaining structure in
Kampung Berembang in Ampang - a surau - but not before leaving
the 30-year-old village looking like a battle ground.

Scores
of residents of Kampung Berembang, along with members of several
non-government organisations and political parties, were involved in a
physical battle with enforcement officers from the council, who were
backed by pol
ice and the Federal Reserve Unit to save the surau.

Last week, the council had demolished all the 50-odd houses in the village, leaving only the two-storey surau behind - that too after a long and hard protest by the villagers and members of a grassroots movement, Jerit." [malaysiakini, 30/11/2006]



If this is not kezaliman then I don't know what is.


"The officers were seen pulling the hair of some of the women and slapping the children who refused to leave the surau.

"I
was afraid but somehow I found the courage to try to stop the officers,
maybe because I care for the surau," said Aida Suhaida (below), 15, who was slapped by a MPAJ officer.

"We
are women, and the men should not touch us, but they kicked me and
stepped on my stomach while I was sitting at the (surau's) staircase,"
said Norhasliana Osman Taad, 22, who was pull by the officers until her
cloth was torn.


"They slapped my face until my eyes turned red. The children were also stepped on by them," she said.

In
the aftermath of the melee, 11 people - nine activists and two
villagers - were arrested and taken to the Ulu Kelang Taman Keramat
police station and Ampang Jaya police station.


As
the dust settled, Kampung Berembang looked like a battle zone with
villagers fallen to the ground, some crying in pain, about four fainted
and some vomited as a result of sheer exhaustion." [malaysiakini,
30/11/2006]



Staring at the face of cruelty, race and religion do not matter.
Salute the warriors - students, activists, NGOs, opposition
leaders and the people of Kg Berembang.


I wonder what ever happened to all the Hidup Melayu! bullshit. Where was the keris-wielding Umno Youth leader?

There must be a humane solution to this. What happened to "masyarakat penyayang"? Islam Hadhari?

The
Kg Berembang case is still pending in court and yet the authorities
can't wait to demolish the houses and leave scores homeless. Don't they
have even an iota of compassion running through their veins?

Waddafak!!!

Even a letter from the PM's Dept failed to stop the demolition. Not so powerful lah you Pak Lah after all.


Why demolish now? During rainy season? When there are children taking their SPM exams?

More drama in Harakahdaily. Read this and weep for Malaysia.


To the powers-that-be, the State, MPAJ, police, FRU, useless leaders - may you rot in neraka jahanam!!!

TELITI: Naming Names - Seeing whose big money is behind the Kampung Berembang demolitions



Published by nathaniel tan November 21st, 2006







Someone gave me a few leads re: who the Kampung Berembang developers are, and I decided to follow them up.

The internet tells us that regarding the development of the land
where once the 60 houses of Kampung Berembang stood, home to normal
decent Malaysians, these parties were involved: Perspektif Masa Sdn Bhd, Cahaya Kelang Construction (which is a subsidiary of Acmar International - probably the primary culprit), and the Selangor State Government.

Here’s how I know this. One of the clearest indicators is this map
(from the Acmar International Property Division website) which places
the location of the Berembang development project squarely where
Kampung Berembang (RIP) used to be. The Berembang development is also
listed as one of the “Future Projects
on the Cahaya Kelang Construction website (scroll down a little bit in
that box in the bottom right), where the client is Perspektif Masa Sdn.
Bhd.

The involvement of the Selangor State Government is only a little less straightforward. The state government’s property development arm has previously worked together with Perspektif Masa in another area with a similiar name - Kampung Berembang Hilir, which is a different location. That project involved building 694 low-cost apartments near Jalan Aman in Gombak. We’ll go more into how the Selangor government is involved later on.

I decided to take the time to see what all these people are about.
Let me start with Acmar International, owner of Cahaya Kelang
Construction, who will be doing the actual building.

Acmar International is a huge corporation with an extremely diverse portfolio which includes running schools and hospitals (both which require extensive licensing, etc). It’s founder, Mr. Tee Leh Teck started out in rubber, moved to automotive industries and eventually grew a huge business empire.

Let’s look at the board of directors of Acmar International. The board includes Mr. Tee’s two sons - Dato’ Steven Tee Ah Seng, Dato’ Johnson Tee Kim Hock. It also includes a Mr. David Tee Kim Ke and a Mr. David Tee Kim Cheong. The remaining three members include chairman Dato’ Abd. Samad bin Maharuddin @ Samat - former Special Officer (??) to the Menteri Besar of Selangor, (persumably) his son Mr. Mohammad Khairul Dato’ Abd Samad and one Dato’ Mustapha Abd. Hamid, who was former Senior Assistant Director in the Prime Ministers Department. (See also an older webpage indicating the board of directors with slightly different info).

Getting an idea of who we’re dealing with? Good, let’s move on.

So who is this Perspektif Masa? It took RM 15 to the Registrar of Companies to find out.

The company report indicates four directors. Three of these four are
as follows: Samat @ Abd Samad bin Maharuddin, Dato’; Tee Ah Seng,
Dato’; Tee Kim Hock, Dato’. And Perspektif Masa’s two sole share holders? The two Dato’ Tee’s.

The Tee family has its roots in Klang, and in the growing of their business empire, seem to have developed extremely close ties with the Selangor State Government.
This is perhaps most clearly evidenced by the large number of projects
undertaken by what appears to be a Joint Venture company - PNSB Acmar. PNSB stands for Permodalan Negeri Selangor Bhd, which is the development arm of the Selangor State Government.

From the Cahaya Kelang Construction site pages on completed, present and future projects alone, one can find seven constructions projects for PNSB Acmar. This is just for construction - I haven’t looked into other business ventures PNSB and Acmar are taking together.

Another RM 15 got me the company report of PNSB Acmar. They have
failed to submit their accounts since 2000, which is a punishable
offence I understand. In that last statement of accounts, if I read the
report correctly, the company was losing RM 16 million dollars. A substantial amount of that I assume is Selangor taxpayer money.

Other ties between Selangor and Acmar that I have heard about only amount to hearsay at this point.

I daresay the relationship was close enough such that the Selangor
State Government could have intervened on behalf of the villagers and
called for a delay should they have so wished. Instead, whether or not
the directors were aware of it or not, this happened:

6.jpg 1.jpg 3.jpg

in order to make these rich men (all but one from only 2 families) richer faster:

founder.jpg bod01.jpg bod02.jpg bod03.jpg bod05.jpg bod06.jpg bod04.jpg bod07.jpg

I’m sure we would welcome any justification or explanation from Acmar International or the Selangor State Government.

Here are the two company reports (you owe me 30 bucks! :)

Perspektif Masa Company Report

PNSB Acmar Company Report

A quote from the Acmar website:
Our Key Beliefs:

‘ACMAR SEMANGAT BOLEH’ Always maintain ‘Acmarian Can’ high spirit

Constant respect for people

› Quality in all our dealings

› Be disciplined in our behavior

› Continuous upgrading of our knowledge and skills

The reality?

If you google “Kg. Berembang” you can get some old stuff like this Malay Mail article regarding struggles against development and eviction from over a year ago.

Ok for now, I’ll try to keep tabs on this.

    I just happened to browse through the links and found this blog. Well, I thought I’d like to share some inputs.

    Some 30 or 40 years ago, the Government awarded a group of senior
    civil servants plots of land at or around the Kampung Berembang area
    for them to build residential homes as a reward for their dedicated
    services throughout their working life.

    Some 100 or so recipients were involved, many dead over the passing
    years. At least 32 of them were issued Qualifying Titles and the matter
    just fizzled out as more of them died over time. Their next of kins
    faced brick walls everytime the issue is raised.

    May I ask who actually owns land in that area?

    My late father was one of those awarded about 5000 sq ft in those
    days and told his children (me included) to follow up on the matter
    before he died , but many documents went missing in the process. I
    still have some valuable documents pertaining to the matter and intend
    to pursue my inheritence. None of us have given permission neither
    expressed or implied for any party to squat on our piece of land.

    Can anyone in here help me out? Many thanks.

Demolition: Kg Berembang







Kg Berembang 5-3-07 457

Residents of Kg Berembang sent me a SOS sms this morning: the developer has sent in demolition team to pull down houses.


After the demolition last year, the residents have rebuilt their houses and continued to resist the eviction.




Embarrassingly I was caught in an awkward
situation. The power of my house was interrupted (bloody TNB!) and I
was unable to open my autogate (problem with technology!). Finally I
had to get Nat to pick me up. By the time we got there it was about
13:00hr. All the houses had been destroyed and the kampong was again
reduced into ruins.



Hamzah and other party members briefed me what
happened. The kampong folks and their representatives told me that they
were caught surprised when thugs and RELA arrived unannounced in early
morning. They were unable to resist the violent force.

I was also told that the court had set an inter parte
hearing on 14 March—it is 10 days away. As far as the residents were
concerned, the intrusion was illegal. Unfortunately the developer had
quietly went to court and got an injunction to clear the land.

The source of all problems is the unjust law,
which basically bias toward developers’ interests. The land explorer of
land—in Malay normally they are referred as “peneroka” rather than squatter (setinggan)—have no protection in laws.

Despite decades of development, the system
continues to produce poverty even in the capital city. And the army of
urban poor is forever growing. The government is also unable to resolve
the basic problem of housing, which is one of the essential needs of a
human being.

I always feel frustrated confronting with this
powerful force of capitalist urbanization. My presence seemed to serve
nothing but to console the residents that people from outside care and
willing to share their sorrow.

Within half an hour after my arrival, the
excavators and bulldozers resumed their engines. A few of us stood in
front of the machines with the intension to stop their work. A squad
police were stationed outside and appeared to be unwilling to do more
than just observing. Even the MPAJ enforcers were absent. The developer
relied solely on some 50-60 RELA to maintain order.

Since the contractors were unwilling to discuss
with the residents, our only option was to obstruct their recommence
clearing work. The stalemate went on for hours.

At the end, the subcontractors who were under
pressure from both their employers and kampong folks pledged us to
allow them to do some token work so that they could collect their pay.
After a long negotiation, the village folks finally agreed to let the
machine to do some clearing of bushes and grasses around the fringe.

The trucks went to the side and did their work for about 40 minutes. By 16:30hr, all operation ceased.







One Response to “Demolition: Kg Berembang”





  1. […] Demolition: Kg Berembang […]


Kg Berembang














Kg Berembang is located in the prime commercial center of KL

I heard about the demolition attempt in Kampung Berembang last week.
Last Friday, Majlis Perbandaran Ampang Jaya (MPAJ) tried to bulldoze
through the kampung but was stopped by the residents. Over the weekend,
sms had been circulated warning that a large scale demolition was on
its way on Monday (20 November).

Unfortunately I was tied up with so many things: press conference
for Suara Keadilan, workshop with NDI, etc. At noon, I got news that
several activists had been arrested as the MPAJ enforcers forced their
way in.

At about 14:00hr, I received phone calls from KeADILan activists on
the ground saying that the situation was getting more tense as FRU and
other uniform units were ready to make another assault. At the time I
was at the Sheraton Hotel, about to join the NDI workshop. So I dragged
Ginie along and rushed to Kg Berembang.

When we arrived, the atmosphere was very tense. Things were quite
chaotic and one immediately sensed the outburst of anger. I walked
around the kampung, where houses were being evacuated, and crying and
angry families were everywhere.

In one corner I saw an infuriated mother crying with her two
children. She held their hands and lightly stroked their heads, telling
them:

“Look at this, sons, don’t forget this when you grow up. If you ever
grow up to be someone, you should always remember this. This is the
fate of us poor people.

“Open your eyes, look at what they have done to us poor people, remember this till the end…”

This scene was vividly displayed in front of me. I was very moved,
and sad. I wished I had a video-cam to capture this moment. I watched
all of them helplessly.

Within minutes, excavators got into action. 5 or 6 excavators worked
in chorus. Escorted by the contingents of urban councils, the machines
advanced to all the houses. It was a scene of battlefield, the
conquerors marching in, ready to quash any resistance.

Having cleared the earlier human barricade, the troops of urban
council enforcers and police now took control. The residents were
threatened with arrest if they disobeyed the order to evacuate their
belongings from their houses.

It didn’t take long for their meager property to be moved out. Soon
the machine’s iron claw swiftly crushed through the roof, knocked down
walls and squashed everything standing. Demolition is a form of
violence. I felt as if I was trapped in a cinema watching a horror
movie—the acts of destruction seemed to run in slow motion, while the
machines screamed loud heavy metal tunes, and bricks, wood and cement
all crumbled into piles of rubble.

As the houses fell one after another, the poor cried helplessly.
Their homes for 30-40 years were erased in front of their eyes; but
these images were chiseled in the memory of the children.

I heard someone said, “Lebih kejam dari Israel…”

For this operation, many uniformed forces were called in. Besides
the ordinary police force and SB, there were FRU, light forces, even
the fire brigade. MPAJ had also called in other enforcement units from
Subang Jaya, Sepang and Selayang. Although the area is within the
jurisdiction of Ampang Jaya Council, others came to aid in
’solidarity’. There were probably 300 to 400 personnel, taking on some
60 over houses. No doubt it was a war: the conquest of the poor by the
rich.

On my way home, heavy rain started pouring. My heart sunk deep.

On the radio, the DJ announced that today was the first day of exams and wished the school children well.

That reminded me, one of the families has a girl who is taking her
exam this year. She was out sitting for her paper while the bulldozer
was razing her home.

Tonight, she and hundreds of others will be sheltered under a piece
of broken zinc or a small tent. They will have to endure many more cold
and wet nights without a roof. The monsoon season has been unusually
cruel this year.

    Hello!
    Wow! It is so shocking to read that those four houses were going to be
    build-dozed! and the worst part is that those people living there never
    got any advanced notice. Quite frankly I am very disppointed of the
    attitude of people nowadays in dealing with these kinds of matters! I
    mean c’mon what is wrong with you people? Are you so heartless and
    selfish that societies needs don’t have anything to do with you?
    *(sigh)* Anyway. It’s good that the peope fought back and tried to
    negotiate instead of fighting constantly. I am support the arguement of
    the villagers and the people living in those very houses. My heart goes
    out to them and urge them for fight for their rights. Even if the must,
    they’ll have to challange the constitution. I write in cordial with the
    need to make more sense of this case. As for the police and other
    people involved. Well! All I can say is that you’re never there for the
    people. Let alone protect, not even the innocence. Foreigners have a
    very bad of point of view of the Malaysian Police anyway. Please so
    something about this case because I am concerned. I am a Malaysian but
    has been travelling overseas for the past 16 years. And been to nearly
    24 countries. And I am very disappointed at the attitude… I really am…
    Thank God there are people who are concerned enough to write about
    these things! *(PHEW)*!

    In the case of Indian temples which have been standing for more than
    100 years, the government was quick to label it as “squatters” despite
    clear objection from the many people and numerous appeals to gazette
    the land. There is little compensation or in most situations, the
    temple committee is left high and dry. In case of Kampung Berembang, it
    is sitting on prime land – so is there a reasonable cause to evict the
    people to develop the land? […]

I felt as if I was trapped in a cinema watching a horror movie—the acts of destruction seemed to run in slow motion, while the machines screamed loud heavy metal tunes, and bricks, wood and cement all crumbled into piles of rubble.

As the houses fell one after another, the poor cried helplessly. Their homes for 30-40 years were erased in front of their eyes; but these images were chiseled in the memory of the children.

I heard someone said, “Lebih kejam dari Israel…”

For this operation, many uniformed forces were called in. Besides the ordinary police force and SB, there were FRU, light forces, even the fire brigade. MPAJ had also called in other enforcement units from Subang Jaya, Sepang and Selayang. Although the area is within the jurisdiction of Ampang Jaya Council, others came to aid in ’solidarity’. There were probably 300 to 400 personnel, taking on some 60 over houses. No doubt it was a war: the conquest of the poor by the rich.

On my way home, heavy rain started pouring. My heart sunk deep.

On the radio, the DJ announced that today was the first day of exams and wished the school children well.

That reminded me, one of the families has a girl who is taking her exam this year. She was out sitting for her paper while the bulldozer was razing her home.

Tonight, she and hundreds of others will be sheltered under a piece of broken zinc or a small tent. They will have to endure many more cold and wet nights without a roof. The monsoon season has been unusually cruel this year.

[…] Dua buah rumah juga terbakar ’secara misteri’, menurut Bernama. Semalam seorang rakan menghantar SMS bertanya lanjut insiden tersebut kerana salah seorang pemandu di syarikatnya tinggal di sana. Lebih 20 aktivis yang cuba membantu penduduk Kg. Berembang ditahan polis. Menurut Star, seorang penduduk kehilangan 10,000 cucuk sate yang disediakan untuk sebuah rumah terbuka ketika Kg. Berambang dimusnahkan. Yang lebih menarik lagi, surat daripada Pejabat PM meminta agar tindakan MPAJ tersebut dihentikan tidak dihiraukan, kerana kerajaan negeri memberikan kebenaran. SUHAKAM juga telah meminta agar MB Selangor menjelaskan tindakan tersebut. Ketua Penerangan Keadilan, Tian Chua, merakamkan catatan peribadinya ketika peristiwa tersebut. Seperti kata kenalan saya, Tony Pua, tiada siapa mempersoalkan hak pemilik tanah untuk meminta mereka berpindah. Tetapi penduduk Kg. Berembang sudah tinggal di sana selama 30 tahun, dan perumahan alternatif mereka belum siap. Di mana perikemanusiaan pemaju dan PBT? […]

Hello! Wow! It is so shocking to read that those four houses were going to be build-dozed! and the worst part is that those people living there never got any advanced notice. Quite frankly I am very disppointed of the attitude of people nowadays in dealing with these kinds of matters! I mean c’mon what is wrong with you people? Are you so heartless and selfish that societies needs don’t have anything to do with you? *(sigh)* Anyway. It’s good that the peope fought back and tried to negotiate instead of fighting constantly. I am support the arguement of the villagers and the people living in those very houses. My heart goes out to them and urge them for fight for their rights. Even if the must, they’ll have to challange the constitution. I write in cordial with the need to make more sense of this case. As for the police and other people involved. Well! All I can say is that you’re never there for the people. Let alone protect, not even the innocence. Foreigners have a very bad of point of view of the Malaysian Police anyway. Please so something about this case because I am concerned. I am a Malaysian but has been travelling overseas for the past 16 years. And been to nearly 24 countries. And I am very disappointed at the attitude… I really am… Thank God there are people who are concerned enough to write about these things! *(PHEW)*!

on 09 Mar 2007 at 7:24 pm Squatters – to be or not to be? « BJ Thoughts…

[…] In the case of Indian temples which have been standing for more than 100 years, the government was quick to label it as “squatters” despite clear objection from the many people and numerous appeals to gazette the land. There is little compensation or in most situations, the temple committee is left high and dry. In case of Kampung Berembang, it is sitting on prime land – so is there a reasonable cause to evict the people to develop the land? […]
