Perkasa - Penghasut. Why target against the Non-Malay?? Target the rich and mind you they are not all Non-Malay, BODOH! I am a 4th Generation Malaysian of Chinese origin. Just retired professional and stayed nearby. I wanted to buy a unit there but I cannot afford it too. Housing in Kuala Lumpur area is too expansive and the Government should do something about it. Its not racial but financial. There are plenty of rich Malay too. To soothe the feeling of the poor anak Keramat, the politician is again using the Non-Malay as the bogeyman. I SETUJU, Selangor and KL should build more affordable housing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protest against condo project turns rowdy over fears of ‘Chinese district’ BY MD IZWAN Published: 25 January 2015 1:16 PM Protesters tearing down the perimeter fencing of the Datum Jelatek project site in Taman Keramat today. Some 100 residents protesting the development of the Datum Jelatek luxury condominium in Taman Keramat, Selangor, today turned aggressive and broke into the construction site to halt a project that they felt would turn the area into a Chinese district. The residents first began marching peacefully towards the site, before they proceeded to tear down the zinc barrier surrounding it, with several protesters trespassing on the site. However, police managed to bring the situation under control and the crowd soon dispersed. Two police trucks were seen at the site. The residents are opposing the Datum Jelatek project because they claimed it would transform the Malay-majority area into a Chinese district, as they believed only the Chinese could afford to purchase units at the luxury condominium. The protest began at 11am this morning, with the residents gathering at one of the organisers house nearby the construction site. Packets of nasi lemak and bottled mineral water were distributed among the locals before they started their demonstration. Spirits were high as they marched towards the site, with many belting the Warisan song, or Anak Kecil Main Api – a song lamenting the loss of the land to outsiders, often played during the heavily-criticised Biro Tata Negara programme. The protesters wore bandannas around their head emblazoned with the words Anak Keramat (Children of Keramat) to signify they were residents of the area. Members of the Selangor chapter of Perkasa, as well as the Datum Jelatik Action Committee (BBDJ) could be seen among the rowdy crowd. BBDJ chairman Salleh Ahmad said todays demonstration was organised to warn Selangor Menteri Mohamed Azmin Ali to stop the condominium project, saying that it would open the floodgates to other races entering the Malay-majority area. I challenge him (Azmin) to come down and meet me, but he didnt turn up. If he had, I would have thrown him into the drain, said Salleh. I challenge him to stop this project, he said. One of the residents representatives, Ariffin Abu Bakar, urged Azmin to prioritise affordable housing for the locals over projects that would allegedly benefit outsiders. We are not anti-development, but we want affordable housing to be built and for the anak Keramat to be given priority. Where is the proof that this project is 100% Bumiputera-owned? We cant wait any longer, said Ariffin. Selangor Perkasa chief Abu Bakar Yahya urged the Pakatan Rakyat-led Selangor government to stop trying to challenge the Malays. Stop allowing the Malays to be bullied by other races. We do not hate other races, but the Chinese and the Indians should not challenge the Malays, said Abu Bakar. The groups that gathered here today claimed the Datum Jelatek project had ignored the Malays, and that the Malays were unable to afford the condominium units steep price. They claimed that most of the units had been purchased by non-Malays and foreigners. This is not their first demonstration against the project. Last November, Salleh and the residents of Keramat organised a peaceful protest before the Selangor state secretariat building in Shah Alam to pressure the government into halting the condominiums construction. Salleh had reportedly warned of possible bloodshed if Selangor proceeded with plans to construct the condominiums, saying that the development was a threat to the Malays. Azmin had, however, said recently that the issue was resolved and that he had arranged several meetings with the locals over the matter. The projects developers, DatumCorp, had previously said 1,097 Bumiputeras had registered for the condomonium, which far exceeded the 674 units available. The condominium is to be built on the former site of four blocks of PKNS flats owned mostly by Malays, which were demolished in late 2010. - See more at: themalaysianinsider/malaysia/article/protest-against-condo-project-turns-rowdy-over-fears-of-chinese-district#sthash.h7kXklmw.dpuf
