MCA Penang to MPPP – Axe the plan, don’t axe the trees

MCA Penang to MPPP – Axe the plan, don't axe the trees

MCA Penang stands with the Consumer Association of Penang and Sahabat Alam Malaysia in their protest yesterday against plans by the Penang Island Municipal Council (MPPP) to fell 44 trees along Jalan Masjid Negeri as part of a road widening project of which 20 will be transplanted. Even more unsettling is MPPP announcement that out of 80 trees in the Bukit Gelugor area, only 16 would remain.

I wish to remind the DAP-led state government to keep to their 2008 general election manifesto which pledged to "Provide and protect green lungs for densely populated urban areas." Furthermore, the Pakatan's Common Policy Framework expresses that "our environment is a national treasure that must be preserved for the sustainability of the future generations." Or is it a case of convenient amnesia by the Penang state government and DAP to neglect abiding by its election pledges?

The Member of Parliament for Bukit Gelugor i.e. DAP chairman Karpal Singh should voice to the Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and MPPP the importance of keeping to the party's promises especially now when they hold office. Or has he no influence even within his own state despite Guan Eng being the DAP Secretary General and not the Chairman?

It will be very arrogant of MPPP to proceed with this tree-chopping plan considering that it appears to be a unilateral decision by MPPP whereby the residents were not consulted. Wakil rakyats must realise that they must hear out the voices of the masses.

Benefits of leaving the trees alone

Besides providing a shade to the tropical sun, the greenery from the tree branches and leaves are a welcome sight aesthetically and offer pedestrians and motorists a cool respite from the heat and humidity.

Hacking down these trees takes only a few minutes although it took mother nature decades for the trees to be able to grow and mature to such a majestic height and sight. The DAP-helmed state administration should practise that they are friends and not fiends of nature.

Hence, please live up to your GE and Common Policy Framework manifestos.

MCA Penang Advisor

It is the last day of 2012. Many events happened for the year. For us at BigDogDotCom, it has been a very good and memorable year indeed. Our article on the 'Ghost of Johor' drew a lot of attention. It started a series of articles written by other bloggers about Johor and drew even more attention, which many talked about. Enough to be asked to 'come for dinner '. Then, we were also reunited with an old blogging brother. It was nice to meet up with Raja Petra our common Malaysian favourite in the heart of West End. Doa for heroes of Bukit Chandu: (dari kiri) Brig Gen Rahim, PAT Jen Tan Sri Zulkifli, Defense Minister Dato' Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Dpeuty Minister Dato' Dr Latif Ahmad & President of Royal Malay Regt Club 2012 had some of our proudest moments.
