A message of goodwill

My dear fellow Malaysians, the recently held General Elections 2013 had aroused much negative and positive sentiments that has injured many in the process. Rightly or wrongly such sentiments are to be expected in the light of victory and or defeat.

The time is not right to point fingers and start the blame game. None of these are in any way going to reconcile our differences nor should it be the approach to bring the nation together.

Now is the time for every Malaysian from every walk of life to lift our spirits and look in the direction of moving forward. It is my belief and my call to all Malaysians to set aside our differences and be progressive on addressing the needs and wants of all Malaysians. This I believe is the direction our Prime Minister will take without fear or favour and as the Prime Minister he will do that which is needed for Malaysia and our people.

Can we not blame any race; instead its now that we should examine as to what ought and must be done to bring all Malaysians together. This must be our priority. Let there be sanity in our statements. Should we choose to make any statements let it not be slanted to hurt the feelings of others or incense the feelings of others. If we should choose to make any statements let it be to heal and harmonise.

Let us believe “Malaysia is our country. We shall walk the future as Malaysians. We shall remain Malaysians for the sake of this great nation Malaysia.”

10,000 Prima Homes Pledged

Permatang Pauh will get 10,000 units of housing under the Perumahan Rakyat 1 Malaysia (PR1MA) programme should Barisan Nasional take over Penang and retain Putrajaya.

Barisan candidate for Seberang Jaya state seat Datuk Mohammad Nasir Abdullah said the issue of affordable housing was very serious in Permatang Pauh and in Seberang Prai.

“This is what I pledge to do should we win in Seberang Jaya, Penang and Putrajaya,” he told a press conference here yesterday.

According to the latest survey by Henry Butcher Seberang Prai, a condominium in Seberang Jaya is now priced from RM300,000 onwards, about 10% more than a year ago.

A double-storey terrace house in Seberang Jaya is now sold between RM350,000 and RM400,000, also about 10% more than a year ago.

The property prices in Seberang Prai are expected to rise by another 10% this year.

“The Pakatan Rakyat is concerned with drawing investments from foreigners for high-end homes in the island. It does not even have a blueprint to develop affordable housing for Penang,” he said.

Besides high property prices, Mohammad Nasir said he also received regular complaints regarding uncollected garbage at high-rise buildings.

“There are many high-rise residential buildings in Permatang Pauh which face rubbish collection problems due to poor enforcement by the Seberang Prai Municipal Council.

“Should I win, we will tighten enforcement on rubbish collectors who have been given the contract in Permatang Pauh and in the state,” he said.

Mohammad Nasir said he was confident of getting more than 50% of support from the 7,500 registered new voters in the constituency. He added that Seberang Jaya was a traditional Barisan stronghold and was confident that Barisan would win the seat this time.

Last year, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak said the Government would launch 80,000 units of property under PR1MA for those earning between RM2,500 and RM7,500 a month.

The Government had identified Penang, Seremban, Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Johor, Malacca, Sabah, and Sarawak as the states to launch the PR1MA housing projects.
