Dear Dr. I’m very happy and proud to hear that you are beside the people when they need you indeed. But are the aother ADUN doing this? We trusted that the BR won’t not be as same as BN. Come look at ijok. we are suffering because of the flood and nobody came to help us. Just imagine this is our MB area and yet we did not see him or his representative. We also do not know how to contact him. I advise the BR DUN and Parliment members to publish their contact numbers in proper manner, so that we have the oppurtunity to tell you the problems. Pls ask other members to go down to the field, meet the people and find out how “we could help you” in future. Pls sir!!!!!!!!
Dr,
I’d like to bring to your attention, the status of some poor Indian men in Kajang, Selangor, town. I know not where they sleep at night. They either work as night ‘parking attendants’ or beg. They seem able bodied. I trust that they’d be willing to work, given the opportunity. How about providing them with ‘grass cutting machines’ & petrol allowance (for the machines) to enable them to eke a living? Or push carts & free water supply to help them earn a living by giving quick car washes? Why is there no homeless shelter for them? When beggars of other races appear in Kajang town, they seem to disappear after a while… I suppose they’re taken care of. What about these Indian destitutes?

Dr,
Just some of my thoughts/ ideas…
1. About reducing Assessment rates…
I understand that this idea had been shelved/ postponed due to budget issues. But what about giving a percentage (%) of discount on the Quit Rent (I hope that this is under the state government’s jurisdiction?) instead, in return for garden waste for bio-fuel production? Perhaps have Alam Flora/ other body collect this on certain days of the week & re-sell to TNB? It seems a waste to just burn garden waste & add to global warming. And e.g. give a 10-20% discount on the quit rent, for landed properties?

Looking at the above web-site, perhaps this should be an idea to be propagated to your ally, the Kedah menteri besar, as an alternative source of income from shed forest(/ residential) leaves/ twigs, rather than cutting down the trees themselves, which could lead to natural disasters?
2. Co-operative rules to conserve fuel…
What with fuel wasting away while we’re caught in traffic jams… why not have e.g. an office block grid divided into 4, 15-minute breaks in clock in/ clock out times? I.e. each grid would have 4 different working hours, e.g. 8:30am – 4:30pm, 8:45am – 4:45pm, 9:00am – 5:00pm & 9:15am – 5:15pm. This would be a huge logistics task but could be researched, tested out & implemented in small scale. Workers could end up being less stressed-out in getting to work & end up being more productive in the office? Plus, it could help reduce their petrol bills. The state/ country in turn, could end up needing less in petrol imports. Hence, this could be a win-win situation for all.
I hope that this would be of some use to PKR/ PR, as in my opinion, we truly need an alternative government.
