This happened at Kampung Berembang on this morning when The Ampang Jaya Municipal Council went to tore down the only remaining structure in Kampung Berembang in Ampang. No any news in mainstream newspapers yet.

Chaos reigns in Kg Berembang Nov 30, 06 1:24pm
This morning, MPAJ, armed with four bulldozers, came in to finish the job and again they faced stiff resistence from the villagers.

Villagers who tried to block the demolition were 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 were gathered there.

Women and children inside the surau were also not spared.

Eye-witnesses said the enforcement officers reacted violently against children and women. One woman who had locked herself with a steel chain to the surau was forcibly removed.

When the dust settles, Kampung Berembang looked like a battle zone with villagers fallen to the ground, some crying in pain, some unconscious and some hurt after the beating.

百名官员铲平甘榜伯仁邦祈祷所,与居民酿严重冲突 11人被捕 06年11月30日 早上11:33
大约上午11时20分左右，执法人员包括市议会官员、警察和联邦后备队成员剪破篱笆，进入祈祷所准备展开拆除行动。

执法人员把原本逗留在祈祷所内的人士，包括所有小孩子们全部驱赶出去，执法人员的粗暴动作引起许多小孩子的嚎啕大哭。据记者现场目睹，执法人员非常粗暴，不只与居民发生严重肢体冲突，包括互相殴打和拉扯，就连妇女们也一样被拉扯至披头散发。

不单如此，有些执法人员连小孩子都不放过，对一些拒绝听从指示的小孩子挥拳相向，照打不误。现场一片混乱，四处充斥着小孩子的哭声、妇女的尖叫声，以及执法人员的呼喝叫骂声。 在一片混乱之中，许多妇女一面哭泣，一面与执法人员争执，更有一些小孩子感到不支而晕倒。

甚至有一名妇女以铁链把自己锁绑在祈祷所的柱子上，导致执法人员被迫以电锯锯开铁链将她拖离。也有一些居民因为过度激动而出现呕吐的现象。

Part of his third article in his column and published in the Age was answered to our International Trade and Industry Minister’s remark.

theStar: An article in an Australian newspaper The Age ridiculing Malaysia and calling Malaysia “bodoh” (stupid) has left International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz unperturbed.

“What do we care? Obviously, this person doesn’t know Malaysia. He is an outsider and he can say what he likes. I don’t really care about what others say – as long as it is not a Malaysian saying it,” she said.

HE/SHE speaks words deep inside the heart of many Malaysians abroad. Will they listen to the truth words? Would they? Would they?

Let us not wait for the oil to run out
Very Worried Malaysian, London

We kept saying that all the time, it’s not Malaysia Boleh, it’s Malaysia ‘bodoh’ as pointed out by Michael Backman who wrote While Malaysia fiddles, its opportunities are running dry.

His recent article in The Age slapped us hard in the face. It is rather embarrassing but I can’t help agreeing with him that us lot tend to live in Dreamland. While there are more pressing matters of national concern looming, we are still fiddling with who owns what and how much. How silly can that be? Does it really matter that Ali gets a larger slice of the pie while Ah Chong and Muthu get a bit? When there is no pie at all, what will there be to argue about? Are we really that naive to be still stirring racial sentiments at political parties’ general assemblies while our oil wells are running dry as we speak?

When someone requested for more Bumi corporate equity and “fire” on someone else during the “you-know-what-party-is” general assembly; perhaps all of us should look what kind of vehicle they drove to that assembly.

A new year gift from our government…

Toll rates for five highways to go up on Jan 1
KUALA LUMPUR: Toll rates for five highways will go up on Jan 1 next year as the Government can no longer afford to subsidise toll increases, Works Minister Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said Monday.

Everything in Malaysia is raising, the only thing not raise at all times in Malaysia is SALARY.

Who signs those contracts? Everything under the OSA, cannot review, cannot ask; how long Malaysians (voter and tax payer) should “bear” for this!?
