Why is the MP of Puchong AVOIDING SCT?

Just after the 2004 election, SCT started to send letters to Puchong MP to inform him of the Ayer Hitam Reserved Forest Cemetery Issue with high hope that he will be able to help us resolve the issue.

After numerous letter correspondences, he finally agreed to meet us on 25 Feb 2006 night at one of the residence home under some extremely unreasonable and ridiculous conditions.

His conditions for the visit were:

1. He will visit us as a ‘rakyat’ and not in his capacity as the MP of Puchong.
2. We cannot inform any opposition on his visit
3. We cannot invite the media to cover his visit
4. He will not be discussing on the cemetery issue.
5. He will not promise us on anything during the visit

Due to our anxiousness and belief in his sincerity to resolve the cemetery issue, we reluctantly accepted his visit hoping that something good will come out of it.

He came quietly, he chatted with us and he went off with his last words “I will try my best”.

Looking back, slowly and surely, we begin to understand his unwritten message.

In fact, we could safely say that he did not want to meet us in the first place. If not, what were the reasons for the stiff conditions?

He has never really wanted to help us. If not, why didn’t he want to meet us up?

Then, why did he come finally? We think he had no choice because SCT was naïve enough to accept his ridiculous conditions.


Then again, on May 13, 2006, which fell on “Mother’s Day”, SCT again invited Puchong MP for a ‘MEET THE RESIDENTS’ session.

Saujana Puchong residents were very excited and fielded our dear MP with numerous questions.

When residents asked him about day-to-day issues regarding electricity, water, grass cutting, rubbish, etc, the MP explained happily in full details with outstanding descriptions.

However, when residents started to question on the cemetery issue, the residents saw a 180 degree turn. He began to avoid the issue by giving unreasonable reasons.
Because of our earlier experience with him, we grew a bit smarter and started to press for solid answers and did not allow him to beat around the bush.

Finally, after much pressure from the residents, he gave in and pledged that he will fully support us to resolve the cemetery issue all the way to the end.

Obviously, feeling proud of our good day work, we thanked the MP for his full support and going home feeling gung-ho that the issue will be resolved.

The story ended with us waiting more than a year without any news from him until June 2007 when we finally realized that we have been taken for a ride again.


This time, armed with even more bad experience and again thinking that we are smart people, we ask to see him to follow up on the progress.

Do you want know what he told us this time?

He told us that he has helped us resolved electricity, grass, mosquitoes, water problems, therefore he has helped us resolved all our issues!!!

Since that day, we never get a chance to see him again.

All these events lead us to ask ourselves, the residents of Saujana Puchong a few questions?

1. Is the MP of Puchong a trustworthy and honest person?
2. Is the MP of Puchong, the type of person who will keep promises?
3. Is the MP of Puchong someone who is sincere in helping us?
4. Is the MP of Puchong someone who will not readily leave us when the going gets tough?
5. Is the MP of Puchong someone that we want to represent us?

Dear Residents, in many things, we believe, action speaks louder than words.

We believe with this ‘Missing in Action’ MP, all of us are wise enough to make an informed and well considered conclusion on our own.

保森林,建公路,要公义,非墓地

保森林,建公路,要公义,非墓地
自01/04/04至今,我们都不断为此斗争坚持到底. 绿肺是优质环境的元素, 通道是邻近花园往来的基建, 我们仅存一段的森林, 已被市政府列为多元种族墓地. 最终这片绿荫的森林被牺牲了, 这条公路也被截断了, 本区域产业应声降值了.
居民们, 朋友们, 这就直接的牺牲了我们, 换来是阴森的墓园, 殡葬礼拜的车队, 墓葬用品周边行业商店的建立. 难道! 这一切对我们都没有影响吗? 生, 老, 病, 死, 墓地是须要的. 公平, 公正及公义更应被彰显. 因此! 大家应同声共气, 一致要求市政府取消这墓地计划, 另外寻找更适当地点为墓地. 居民们, 朋友们, 因当权的市政府没有尊重民意, 我们逼不得已才对市政府提出法律诉讼, 案件已经多次展期, 现排期至23/11/07. 所以, 现阶段不具有任何法律约束力, 限制市政府动工, 请慎记. 居民们, 朋友们, 为了让这件事取得更有效的成果, 我们希望得到大家的认同, 也呼吁大家能团结一致勇于参与我们的团队, 同时也欢迎任何朝野政党及非政府组织的协助, 尽快把此事解决, 谢谢.

MALAPETAKA "KUBUR" PENDUDUK SEKITAR HUTAN SIMPANAN AYER HITAM

Sehingga kini, penduduk-penduduk di Taman-taman perumahan di sekeliling Hutan Simpanan Ayer Hitam (HSAH) amat bertuah dan berbangga kerana dapat menikmati alam semulajadi yang begitu indah dan udara nyaman yang bersepoi-sepoi, hasil dari hutan rimba yang diperlihara dengan sempurna.

Di samping itu, HSAH, juga merupakan salah satu hutan yang tertua di dunia dengan kepelbagaian fauna dan flora yang tiada tolok bandingannya.

Malangnya, satu peristiwa gelap bakal menimpa HSAH dan penduduk-penduduk di sekitarnya.

MPSJ akan mengorbankan 50 ekar HSAH untuk membina sebuah tapak perkuburan pelbagai kaum yang dilengkapi dengan RUMAH BAKAR MAYAT.

Lebih-lebih lagi, JALAN PENYAMBUNG TANPA TOL dari Puchong (melalui Saujana Puchong) ke Seri Kembangan (melalui Lestari Puchong) yang sepatutnya dibina mengikut perancangan awal juga telah dikorbankan disebabkan pembinaan tapak perkuburan ini.

Selain itu, tapak perkuburan ini akan membawa pelbagai malapetaka ekonomi, sosial dan mental kepada penduduk-penduduk sekitar.

Malapetaka #1
Harga rumah penduduk sekitar, akan menurun secara mendadak, menghapuskan wang hasil titik peluh mereka. Secara keseluruhan, beratus-ratus juta wang penduduk akan dikorbankan begitu sahaja.

Malapetaka #2
Angin nyaman bersepoi-sepoi yang begitu dihayati penduduk sekitar akan digantikan dengan angin ngeri dan berhabuk yang bukan sahaja menyeramkan hati tetapi juga menjejaskan kesihatan penduduk.

Malapetaka #3
Kedai-kedai keranda dan kedai-kedai lain yang membekalkan pelbagai barang-barang keperluan pengebumian akan mengambil-alih kedai-kedai keperluan penduduk yang ada sekarang. Lama-kelamaan, Taman Perumahan kita akan bertukar ke Taman Perkuburan.

Malapetaka #4
Setiap hari, penduduk-penduduk akan dibebankan dengan ‘Trafik Jam’ Kereta Keranda.

Untuk melindungi HSAH dan kepentingan penduduk-penduduk sekitar, pihak SCT telah mengambil tindakan perundangan terhadap MPSJ dan Kerajaan Selangor.
Malangnya, sehingga hari ini, perbicaraan belum bermula dan masih ditangguhkan oleh pihak MPSJ. Disebabkan ini, MPSJ mempunyai hak untuk memulakan kerja pada bila-bila masa!

Penduduk-penduduk di sekitar HSAH memahami bahawa Tapak Perkuburan adalah satu keperluan rakyat.

Tentang aspek in, apa yang penduduk mahukan adalah:

a. HSAH dan hak penduduk tidak dikorbankan dengan sewenang-wenangnya.

b. Perlaksanaan projek kerajaan adalah telus, adil dan saksama.

Untuk memenuhi kedua-dua syarat ini, beberapa perkara patut disoal:

a. Mengapa Tapak Perkuburan ini tidak dibina di tempat yang tidak mengorbankan hutan dan
penduduk? Betulkah di Negeri Selangor tiada lagi tanah yang bersesuaian?

b. Mengapa Tapak Perkuburan, yang merupakan perancangan jangka panjang, tidak dirancang dan diberitahu kepada penduduk sekitar semasa kita membeli rumah di sini? Semasa kita membeli rumah, yang diberitahu adalah hutan simpanan adalah bersebelahan rumah kita! Patutkah kesilapan dalam perancangan kerajaan DITANGGUNG SEPENUHNYA oleh
RAKYAT?

c. Mengapa 50 ekar HSAH dikorbankan? Adakah ini disebabkan tanah tidak melebihi 50 ekar
tidak memerlukan laporan EIA (Environment Impact Analysis)? Bolehkah kawasan HSAH
yang lain dikorbankan dengan cara yang sama pada masa akan dating?

d. Mengapa hanya 2 penduduk mendapat surat tentang hal ini manakala penduduk yang
dibebankan melebihi 4000 rumah tangga?

e. Mengapa kerja-kerja pengukuran tanah dijalankan pada hujung minggu? Adakah ini kerana
mahkamah tidak dibuka pada hujung minggu?

f. Dan soalan yang paling penting, adakah pengorbanan penduduk sekitar berbaloi? Adakah
pengorbanan satu-satunya hutan simpanan yang tertua di dunia ini berbaloi? Untuk
sesuatu perkara yang boleh diselesaikan dengan cara yang lebih bijak.

Dengan segala hormatnya, pihak SCT menjemput penduduk-penduduk sekitar untuk menyertai aktiviti-aktiviti SCT dan memberi sokongan padu kepada kami supaya kita boleh bersatu-padu melindungi warisan HSAH, harta benda satu sama lain dan yang paling penting SUARA KITA dapat DIDENGAR dan DIHORMATI oleh PIHAK BERKUASA.
