    BAGAN Member of Parlia-ment Lim Guan Eng, who is

    also the Chief Minister ofPenang, said in a statementissued on July 18 that the At-torney-Generals Chambers(AGC) lack of action against

    six police reports made by hisoffice against Malay rightsgroup Perkasa smacked ofdouble-standards by the AG.

    At the same time, it also

    proved that the AGC practised

    selective prosecution.Why does it take twoyears and yet, no chargesagainst Perkasa on the

    violence against mediamembers and the threat tothe safety of the ChiefMinister? Lim asked.

    This double-standard

    practice by the AG andthe Federal governmentclearly shows selectiveprosecution. The caseswere not only delayed but

    may have been given aNFA (no further action)stamp.

    Lim provided the writ-ten reply from the Home

    Ministry Datuk Seri Dr. Ah-mad Zahid Hamidi which

    showed six police reports weremade between 2011 and 2013against Perkasa.

    In brief, the cases are :1. Incident at the Penang

    Bridge on July 1, 2011 wherea reporter covering a demon-stration on the Penang Bridgewas assaulted.

    2. Illegal assembly with-out permit organised by Perka-

    sa on Nov 30, 2011 at Komtar.3.Perkasa members threat-

    ened the Chief Minister at the

    Speakers Square on Feb 26,2012 during the HimpunanHijau peaceful gathering.

    Minister II Prof Dr. P. Ramasamy, exco members

    RM1.36 million to battlestreet crime by increasing the

    number of closed-circuittelevision cameras (CCTVs)by 55 units to be installed on

    THE recently concluded

    13th General Election pro-duced changes to the Penang

    State Assembly. For Umno,

    this is going to be their sec-

    ond term as opposition here.

    Maybe after the 2008

    General Election, Umno

    could console themselves

    that Pakatan Rakyats vic-

    tory may be just be a flash

    in the pan and that they can

    come back as the ruling

    party the following election.

    It was difficult for Umno

    to accept the fact that their

    arch-rival, the DAP, had fi-

    nally been elected as theruling party and they have

    been relegated to the opposi-

    tion role.

    Maybe because of such

    feelings, Umno was ready to

    fight the PR all the way in

    the Penang State Assembly.

    With characters such as Da-

    tuk Azhar Ibrahim as the

    Opposition Leader and a few

    other Umno assemblymen,

    the Penang State Assembly

    promised to be very lively,

    tense and sometime explo-

    sive.

    On the other hand, the PR

    assemblymen went all out toprotect this new government

    and the Chief Minister. The

    rest was history, Azhar was suspended three times,

    even government backbencher Jagdeep Singh Deo

    was also suspended and there were several walkouts

    by the opposition.

    This time around, the new Opposition Leader is

    a veteran lady legislator, Datuk Jahara Hamid, and

    she is definitely a different character from Azhar.

    With her at the helm and the fact that several new

    Umno assemblymen are not the explosive-type, the

    opposition presented themselves quite differently.

    They seemed to be more reasonable, their lan-

    guage was not unkind or hard-hitting and their de-

    meanour mild.

    The DAP assemblymen do not find any problemrelating to the Umno representatives and even man-

    aged to get them to agree to our proposals. How-

    ever, PKR Malay exco would have to face the wrath

    of the Umno representatives because they need to

    compete on Malay and Islamic issues.

    I can say that Umno must now accept the fact that

    the PR was re-elected for a second mandate with

    greater majority from the electorate. Umno may have

    wished that the PR be defeated but the results indi-

    cated that Umno needs to review its thinking and

    operations to stay relevant in todays political sce-

    nario.

    Umno in Penang has never been in the opposition

    all these years. I said they have not been an effective

    opposition the last term as they found it difficult to

    adjust themselves to the new role.

    But Umno needs to realise that they have a role to

    play and unless they play the role well and effectively,

    they will continue to lose support among the voters.

    Just as people said change of role, change of

    mindset, Umno must change its mindset that they are

    no longer in government and cannot get things done

    according to their whims and fancies.

    I look forward to Umno playing the opposition

    in a more responsible manner in the Penang State

    sembly.

    COME 2015, a United States medical devicesmanufacturer - Haemonetics Corporation will set

    up their manufacturing facility at the Batu KawanIndustrial Park in south Seberang Prai.

    The proposed plant to be located at a 4.8 hectareplot will see an investment of millions of ringgitfor manufacturing whole blood and apheresis de-

    vices.This facility, which will provide jobs for up to

    700 headcounts will have production starting in thefirst quarter of 2015.

    Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said the investment

    was a runaway success of Invest Penang, in col-laboration with federal agencies like MalaysianIndustrial Development Authority.

    We have pulled in a world class international

    company from a specialised field , he said at apress conference in Komtar recently.

    The proposed Penang plant will be companys

    first facility in Asia, with the most comprehensive

    campus worldwide. It produce a wide range ofproducts for the global markets.

    Haemonetics decision to construct its facilityhere will enable us to build up an intergration with

    existing multinational companies producing medi-cal devices and also to support our medical tourismindustry, he added.

    Haemonetics executive vice-president of globalmanufacturing David Helsel said in a statement that

    much of the companys revenue growth was comingfrom the emerging markets and the choice of Penangto house a manufacturing site brought the companyclosure to customers in the region.

    It makes for much leaner, more efficient opera-

    tions.The companys vice-president for global e

    neering Sudhakar Varshney said Penang offgood infrastructure, a sound supply chain a

    highly skilled workforce to serve customers inemerging markets.

    We are upbeat to be part of the strong med

    ecosystem in the state, he said.Haemonetics is one of the world largest pro

    ers for blood management systems and relconsumables, providing end-to-end blood donaand hospital solutions from data managemencell salvage, dignostics, and remote inventory

    The company, which is listed on the New YStock Exchange, was founded in Massachuset1971.

    BUSTLING and vibrant Little India turned darkand quiet on July 16 because all 140 shops at theenclave closed as a form of unity in a country wide

    protest.This same scene happened in other parts of Ma-

    laysia and caught the attention of assemblymemberfor Padang Kota, Chow Kon Yeow.

    Chow, who is also the exco member for Local

    Government, Traffic Management and FloodMitigation, met the traders during their peaceful

    protest.The local traders at Little India claimed that the

    annual Global Indian Shopping Festival traders are

    illegal and are invading their market. Further, theyclaimed that there is an outflow of approximatelyRM40 million out of the country.

    The Penang State Government is not in a posi-tion to deal with the global issues of fair tradecompetition, anti-dumping and others but we will

    still listen to the grouses of the local traders, Chowsaid at a press conference.

    In fact, after hearing all the objections from thelocal traders, the state has negotiated with the or-ganiser of the annual Global Indian Shopping

    Festival to hold their fair in PISA and not in TimesSquare so that they are further away from Little

    India. We have also reduced the number of daysof the shopping carnival from 10 days originallyplanned to only five, he added.

    There are over 1,000 local traders who pro-tested in Malaysia and they claimed they lost mil-lions of ringgit due to the competition from theshopping carnival. By right, the Federal govern-ment through the International and Domestic Trade

    ministries must look into their grievances.An example given by Chow was if one is doing

    a hawker business which relies on a seasonal mar-ket, you do not want an illegal hawker to take awayyour customers.

    In a nutshell, thats how the local traders feel.

    B u l e t i n M u t i a r asought the views of Ma-laysian Indian Chamberof Commerce and Indus-

    try and also two tradersin Little India.

    The traders in LittleIndia are doing legiti-mate business. For thelast 50-60 years, we have

    been paying taxes. Whenthere is a festive seasonlike Hari Raya or Deep-

    avali, then only the trad-ers make a little money.

    For the rest of the year,they still have to main-tain their shops. Nowwhen the illegal foreigntraders come in, it affects

    our business a lot, saidR. Seethupandian, chiefexecutive officer of theMalaysian Indian Cham-ber of Commerce & In-

    dustry, Penang.We have written to

    the Ministry of DomesticTrade and also sent cop-

    ies to the Penang ChiefMinister and exco member Chow Kon Yeow. Weappeal to the ministry to stop issuing trading per-mits to foreigners. We are the legitimate tradersand we rely on the festive seasons like Hari Rayaand Deepavali to do business. The frequent Glob-

    al Indian Shopping Festival held all over Malaysiaseveral times a year have greatly affected our busi-ness.

    Buletin Mutiara also spoke to several traders inLittle India.

    Gold jewellery and textile merchant P. Ramal-ingam claimed that they lost almost 30-40 per centannual profits and have suffered in the last four

    years due to the Global Indian Shopping FestivHe said they cannot compete with the forei

    traders because they need to pay taxes, utilities asalaries for their workers.

    Another trader, GP Asok Kumar, hoped the Pe

    ang government will look into their plight and stthe Global Indian Shopping Festival.

    While consumers enjoy the perks of cheapprices and wider varieties of goods in one locatiwhen they visit the Global Indian Shopping Fes

    val, the local traders will have to brace themselvdue to the business slowdown at their shops Little India.

    BUSINESSMAN Harvindar Singh, 51, is a sixth-term

    councillor who is part of the One-stop centre (OSC)standing committee and Planning Committee of thePenang Island Municipal Council (MPPP)..

    I hope to impart some of the knowledge I gainedsince I became a councillor in 2008. Back then, we

    started with very little experiences as councillors.Now, some of us have learned and hope to share ourexperience with the new councillors who are justappointed, Harvindar told Buletin Mutiara after thecouncil meeting at the Town Hall in Esplanade.

    Harvindar is known among civil servants and alsofellow councillors as someone who is very meticu-lous, thorough and nothing escapes his sharp eye.

    Previously, before the MPPP went paperless anddigital, the councillors would be given stacks andstacks of documents and Harvindar would be the onewho spots mistakes and question any discrepancies.

    Although Harvindar does not possess tertiary

    qualications like some of his peers, he has led the

    committees he headed successfully due to his dedica-

    tion and determination.

    I never missed a council meeting. I take my jobvery seriously. Before meetings, I spend time readingthrough all the papers given to us, he said.

    MENTION the word dead and manywould quickly picture graves, owers, thecolour grey and corpses or even zombies.

    Not many would picture a colorful

    festival that the whole family wouldenjoy.

    With that in mind, the Penang BonOdori Festival 2013 kicked off on July20at the Esplanade in Georgetown.

    Today, Bon Odori has evolved from a

    sombre occasion to a carnival lled withfun for the whole family while maintain-ing its strong Japanese cultural values ofhonouring the departed spirits of ones

    ancestors.This is seen in the traditional Bon

    Dance, a Japanese folk tradition to ac-knowledge and appreciate the spirits ofthe dearly departed.

    The festival started at 6pm with open-

    ing speeches from Penang Chief MinisterLim Guan Eng, state exco memberDanny Law and Ryuji Noda, consul-general of Japan.

    An estimated 50,000 people lled up

    the Esplanade eld that had 92 stalls andbooths.

    Each stall had a different aspect ofJapanese culture - from sushi to tradi-tional Japanese games to products from

    the Land of the Rising Sun and even afew Cosplay acts.

    Also, to go with all the

    festivities, traditional Japa-nese dance and musical per-formances were going on allthrough the day and into thenight.

    Other highlights were thethree-string instrument per-formance by the TokuyamaRyu Gensui-Kai group andthe Japanese folk perfor-

    mances by the Nihon MinyoKenkyu-Kai Toyomiko-Kai.

    Other dances by local or-ganisations and SM SultanAbdul Halim, Kedah were the

    Rasa Sayang, Tanko Bushi, ZunkodoBushi and Pokemon Ondo, showing theclose bond between our local Malaysianculture and our Japanese friends.

    In his speech, Noda said this was the

    best way for Malaysians and local Japa-nese residents to learn about the culture ofeach other and have fun at the same time.

    Our friendship with Japan goes backa long way and we hope this strong rela-

    tionship will continue through the yearsto come., Lim said.

    Penang has become a happeningcity, a hub for heritage, culture and arts;

    proof of Penangs commitment to becomean international and intelligent city.

    Penangnite Joshua Tan, aged 25 com-mented about the lively environment atthe festival that seemed to escalate as the

    hours passed.Im having a lot of fun, and this is my

    rst time at Bon Odori. Theres so much

    you can do here. Eat, watch performes and breathing in a bit of Japaculture, he said.

    A DISPUTE between two neigh-

    bours has caused more problemsthan both anticipated.

    It started out as one neighbourlodging a complaint with the Pen-ang Island Municipal Council

    (MPPP) about an illegal exten-sion.

    Upon checking, MPPP foundthat there are over 20 units inVilla Condo in Relau which have

    illegal extensions.

    Paya Terubong assemblymem-ber Yeoh Soon Hin went down tothe ground to handle the situationas one resident had cried foul that

    only her unit received the noticeto demolish her extension.

    Wishing to be known only asMadam Wong, she alleged thatMPPP had practised selective

    enforcement as only she got the notice.The extension works at her unit

    were not completed and bare brickscan be seen from the outside.

    MPPP officers from the BuildingDepartment explained to her that no-

    tices will be issued to all the otherunits as well.

    There are nine blocks of apartmentswith 458 units.

    Built in 1990, many of the units on

    the ground floor have extensions.

    After Yeoh had to explain the situ-ation to the residents and calm themdown.

    MPPP does not practise selectiveenforcement like what was claimed,

    he said. However, we do not condone

    illegal extensions and will adowners to follow the law.

    In the first place, the manment of high-rise buildings shstop any illegal extensions wworks are in progress.

    Building owners must su

    their plans and get approval beproceeding with extensions.

    For the case of Villa CoYeoh was informed that Mwill issue demolition notice

    those owners with illegal exsions.

    These owners were advise

    get their property managemesubmit plans for approva

    MPPP.Very often, people cal

    their state assemblymembeprevent demolition of illegaltensions, Yeoh said.

    I wish to state that assem

    members do not interfere enforcement if the person breakslaw.

    However, as an assemblymemI will try to resolve problems and

    a win-win situation for all partieswant to settle things amicably.

    Following a complaint from theaffected residents, MPPP issued a stop-work order to the developer on June

    10, Yeoh said.The Geo Valley housing project

    comprises 72 blocks of six-storeysemi-detached townhouses, totalling

    288 units.He said following this, the devel-

    oper has since constructed a drainage

    system and a retention pond.Meanwhile, remedial works by the

    developer were also carried out. All theaffected residents were also compen-sated for damage resulting from thelandslide, he added.

    He commented that the developerhad also requested the council to con-

    duct a follow-up check on the construc-tion site.Its more than a month since the

    landslide occurred , and nothing newhas happened.

    14 July 16 - 31, 2013

    By Karen Lai, Programme Manager

    Womens Empowerment and Leadership,

    Penang Womens Deve lopment

    Corporation (PWDC)

    AT 3pm on June 24, Lai Siew Fong, a

    36-year-old saleswoman was believed tohave been burnt by her husband in theirown home. The incident in Bukit Merta-jam resulted in 60 per cent burns on thevictims body.

    The husband disappeared after the

    incident. Prior to that date, the victim andher family had already lodged at least 5police reports as a result of continuingincidents of violence.

    The horror does not stop there. Some

    victims lose their very lives. Apart fromthe Lai Siew Fong case, there were re-ports of at least 2 other women beingbeaten to death by their own husbandswithin the past 2 months. Chee Gaik Yap,

    a 25-year old woman, was believed tohave been raped and murdered 7 yearsago. Some victims are merely toddlers,like the 4-year old who was believed tohave been raped in her own kindergarten

    in Penang several years back. What iseven more sickening is that some of the

    perpetrators are members of the victimsown family, including their fathers.

    Violence against women is not a new

    issue. Every day, we hear news of thisfundamental violation of womens hu-man rights in its various forms, includingphysical violence (beatings, burnings andother forms of abuse), sexual violence

    (rape, molestation and sexual harass-ment), psychological and emotional vio-lence and many more. The reality is thatwomen are often targeted as victimsbecause they are presumed to be weak

    and easily overpowered.The impact of violence against wom-

    en is extremely serious. Victims lose their

    lives and dignity, their physical andmental health, their self-condence and

    ability to function on a day-to-day basis.Their work performance and socio-eco-nomic status often deteriorate. Familyharmony is shattered. The future of LaiSiew Fongs children, aged 10 and 6 re-

    spectively, appears unclear, with theirmother seriously injured and their fatherhaving disappeared. The father of the lateChee Gaik Yap was driven to attemptsuicide in the vicinity of the court when

    he received the verdict that the Alor SetarHigh Court had acquitted the accused in

    his daughters case. Family members andclose friends of rape victims experiencephysical and mental trauma when theyundergo investigation and court trial

    processes. These consequences can lastfor years, if not a lifetime.

    In Malaysia, violence against wom-en is escalating. Statistics show that in

    the past decade, between year 2000 and2010 throughout the country, a total of35,684 cases of domestic violence werereported, together with 25,363 cases ofrape and 19,465 cases of outrage of

    modesty or molestation. Of this gure,

    3,255 (9.12% or almost 10%) of do-mestic violence cases took place inPenang. Studies in Penang also show

    that the conviction rate for cases ofsexual crimes (most of which involvefemale victims) which went to trial incourt is only about 4%, whereas the

    DNAA rate (where the accused is dis-charged not amounting to acquittal) isaround 45%. This clearly shows that itis not easy for a victim to seek justicein court, due to various factors.

    Gender inequality is one the maintors contributing towards violeagainst women. When women arerespected nor treated as equal to m

    terms of their worth, when they arependent nancially on men and are

    stantly being depicted or regardeweak and easily manipulated bymedia and by society, what results

    culture that readily accepts and norises violence against women as jusway things are. This attitude needs changed, for the sake of the safety

    wellbeing of society. The responsibfor transformation rests on our shoulcollectively.
