Kg Tanjung Tokong: "Ini Tanah Kami"

TANJUNG TOKONG: The Kampung Tanjung Tokong Residents Association (Persatuan Penduduk Kampung Tg Tokong) had a press conference on Sunday afternoon (11 Oct 2009) at a Majlis Raya; and Rosly Yusof and myself were invited to speak on behalf of Jaringan Rakyat Tertindas (JERIT, the Network of the Oppressed Peoples).

Among the issues highlighted by the residents' association was UDA Holdings' intention of evicting them without taking into consideration their livelihood and the historical importance of their village. The residents association is asking for a small part of the village to be preserved.

Rosly and I emphasized that their struggle for decent housing is shared by millions of people around the world of all nationalities. We said that they should try to build solidarity with others going through the same problems around the country regardless of race and that their struggle should be based on the human right to shelter shelter which can be elaborated by Article 25(1) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:

"Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care, and necessary social services".

Their right to housing will be won by having more dialogue and interaction with their own people, careful actions and not through falling victim to nationalist or racist sentiments which can be used to manipulate them.

Projek Nusmetro di Kg Buah Pala tidak dibenarkan mengikut dokumen hakmilik sementara

Menurut Derek Fernandez, seorang peguam dan ahli MBPJ, undang-undang melarang Koperasi Pegawai Kerajaan Pulau Pinang daripada membuat pembangunan dengan Nusmetro di Kampung Buah Pala.

Dokumen Hakmilik Sementera (bersamaan dengan Hakmilik Pejabat Pendaftaran) yang bertarikh 27 Mac 2008 ada sekatan-sekatan kepentingan tersebut:

Tanah yang diberi milik ini tidak boleh dipindah milik, cagar, pajak, pajakan kecil atau sebarang bentuk urusniaga.

Menurut Derek Fernandez, walaupun mereka memiliki tanah itu, Koperasi tidak ada hak untuk membina perumahan untuk dijualkan kepada orang lain. Inilah maksudnya "sebarang bentuk urusniaga".

Jadi, macam mana sekarang?

Polis hentikan tayangan filem GADOH di Kg Buah Pala

Pada malam hari Isnin, polis hentikan tayangan filem GADOH di Kg Buah Pala.

Cerita dalam filem GADOH adalah berkenaan dengan masalah perkauman di sekolah dan bagaimana budak-budak boleh menyelesaikan masalah ini dan bekerjasama tak kira bangsa; dan filem ini pun sudah ditayangkan di beberapa institusi pendidikan di Selangor dan Pulau Pinang. Namun, pihak polis berkata 'filem ini boleh menimbul perasaan emosi dan perkauman'. Mereka juga berkata tayangan filem ini tiada permit dan filem itu tidak diluluskan oleh FINAS.

Adakah tayangan filem sangat berbahaya sehingga polis hantar sebanyak 20-50 anggota polis yang mencari pelbagai alasan untuk menghentikan tayangannya?
