KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 30 – Teresa Kok today refuted claims by the Selangor Malay Chamber of Commerce (DPMMS) that it had been sidelined, calling its chairman’s statement irresponsible and baseless while accusing him of having a personal grudge against the Selangor mentri besar.
DPMMS chairman Tan Sri Rozali Ismail yesterday claimed that the Selangor state government had not consulted the chamber about the economic position of Malays in Selangor and their economic development.
“The Selangor state government has never and will never sideline, marginalise or exclude any chambers of commerce from this process,” Selangor trade and industry executive councillor Kok (picture) said in a statement.
“I believe that Tan Sri Rozali Ismail made this baseless statement due to his personal grudge against Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid and the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) government for trying to buy over his cash cow, Syabas,” she added.
“It is well known that Tan Sri Rozali is a major financier of Umno, thus he has joined the fray of Pakatan Rakyat government bashing initiated by Umno.” Continue Reading »

I held a press conference yesterday to highlight this case where the police has been so slow and even apathetic towards investigating this case of lost and stolen luggage belonging to two tourists from America.
At the same time, it is really dishonest and irresponsible of the bus company to promise to compensate, and yet delay and postpone and try to avoid paying the foreign tourists after having admitted the fault was theirs.
It is the bad experiences like these experienced by visitors in our country that negate all the great things that make Malaysia such a great place for tourism and really spoils Malaysia’s image. I urge the police to take action immediately to restore otheir image as law enforcers and protectors of the public and most of all Malaysia’s international image.
Bus company loses luggage, tourist demand compensation
by Leven Woon on 27 Aug, 2010
An American tourist, Charles Edwards Stokes and his local partner, Rosnani Yahya are demanding immediate compensation from Eagle Coach Ekspress for losing two of their bags during a bus trip on May 30.
Their bags fell off the coach after the bus driver failed to properly latch the door of the luggage compartment during their trip from Shah Alam to Johor Bahru. Stokes and Rosnani lost a laptop, digital cameras, clothes and valuables worth RM5000.
The couple resorted to getting the assistance of Seputeh MP Teresa Kok after the bus company was less than cooperative in resolving their claims.
Rosnani and Stokes showed picture of an anonymous man with the missing laptop
The company’s staffs first refused to reveal its office telephone number, later the company’s manager Misnan was unable to be reached via phone despite several attempts, Stokes claimed. Continue Reading »

Salak South residents crying foul
by Leven Woon on 26 Aug, 2010
Some 300 residents and shop owners at Salak South Garden (SSG) are crying foul over the construction of two new shop-houses building back-to-back at Jalan Hang Tuah 3.
They fear the road, which is the artery road into the area, will be soon choked with vehicles entering the commercial zone.
Salak South Garden Goodwill and Welfare Association secretary Chow Heng Chong said the commercial area would suffer a great loss because the two new shop-houses will further hinder the traffic.
(Left pix) The red dot shows the location of new shophouses. (right pix) Only one-way traffic is allowed since the construction.
“How come now only (DBKL) claims (the part) is a private land and allows them to erect new buildings?” asked Chow, referring to Jalan Hang Tuah 3.
Resident who only wish to be known as Lee, said school buses and garbage trucks can no longer make turnings into the road once the part is squeezed to an alley.
The residents with Seputeh MP, Teresa Kok have decided to submit a memorandum to demand a review from the DBKL (DBKL) in regards to this.
“DBKL is widening roads everywhere, but now they are turning an important access in a commercial zone into a one-way lane?”, said Teresa Kok whom does not agree with DBKL’s approval of the construction. Continue Reading »

This morning, I held a press conference to highlight how Malaysia’s international image is hurt by a) police inaction and b) unscrupulous bus companies.
In this case, the police made no effort to help or investigate a case where two visitors from America had their luggage and notebook worth about RM5000 stolen. And the bus company who was negligent and said that they will compensate them for the loss has only given them the runaround instead.
On 30 May 2010, Rosnani Yahya and Col (Rtd) Charles Stokes travelled by bus from Shah Alam to Johor Bharu and had put their luggage in the bus luggage compartment. Upon their arrival in JB, they discovered that their luggage had been stolen. They lodged a police report in JB but the police there gave the excuse that the theft occured in Shah Alam and said that they had to go all the way to Shah Alam to lodge the police report again. How can the police fight crime if they don’t communicate with each other?
By chance, Rosnani’s friend in London was surprised to notice a strange man using Rosnani’s Skype account. She even had a chat with him. The man on the web cam said he was at KLIA. Her friend could see that there were people walking behind the man and that they seemed to be in uniform. This friend was alert enough to take a screen capture and quickly forwarded the picture to Rosnani. Continue Reading »
