HI shine7, for this type of beggar no need to give mercy to them one, once detected splat them! One more important info, those beggar did not miss the boat, too poor to ride on boat now! See them squat near my office front, pity pity beggars!

The issue of funds and lack of it is utter bunkum. Everyone knows the council is over-staffed. (Its public relations department has 28 staff – a larger workforce than similar departments in PLCs and GLCs!) Never mind, let us not touch ratepayers’ funds. It is not known how many traders operate, but using a conservative estimate of 100, with each contributing RM1 a day will be more than enough. RM100 a day is enough to introduce these facilities and to cover its maintenance. If additional funds are needed, just take it from other departments’ allocations because we don’t need fancy streetlights and road signs. Besides, any leftover monies should be channelled for a closed-circuit system for safety and protection of all the users – traders and customers. If need be, there should be a substantial allocation from the council. Then it all boils down to the most challenging task – to enforce the law. It is no use sending enforcement officers or health inspectors just to walk around making hand or eye signals or formulating new methodologies for bribes and inducements. Strict enforcement is the only way to make this whole plan succeed. Neither can it be a one-off thing. It must be done every day – until the traders realise that they can no longer go back to the bad old days. Any breach would mean a temporary suspension and depending on the severity, even a revocation of the licence. This would send a message that the council means business. If these practices are implemented and then fine-tuned, they could be incorporated in all wet markets in the council’s jurisdiction; then to those in other districts and later on a national scale. Sounds interesting? Yes because you and I would like to go to market assured that we not only get fresh produce but to know that we are shopping in a safe and hygienic environment. What about it, councillors? While you are deliberating on approvals for high-rise condominiums and nightspots, just spend some time considering these proposals. Asking too much? No, they are doable with just the will and determination to start a new order – a system that operates within the law for the benefit of the people.

Here are some suggestions: All traders handle food. Hence, the basic requirement is that it must be made compulsory for all food handlers – from lorry drivers who deliver the produce to the one who does the packing – to get necessary vaccinations and inoculations. All foreigners employed by the traders must be properly documented – work permits, health screenings, etc. The system of pajak or leasing of stalls and licences to third parties must be made illegal and punishable. In short, they must be owner-operated and any breach should lead to revocation of licence. Any trader caught employing undocumented workers should have his licence revoked and be prosecuted. No two ways on this. All stalls should be identified with a number that is displayed prominently. This will enable customers to easily identify the stall should they make a breach. Each stall must be fitted with taps and a washbasin for fresh running water to periodically wash his hands and clean the stall to maintain its hygiene. Recycling used water must be banned. Each stall must have a proper bin to dispose entrails, innards, etc. No putting in plastic bags or pushing it to the floor. Appropriate personal hygiene facilities for washing and drying of hands, liquid soap, paper towels should be provided at strategic places in the market for customers. Food contact surfaces should be in good condition and be easy to clean and disinfect. Surfaces should be smooth, washable, corrosion-resistant and non-toxic. The garbage must be taken away for disposal After closing time each day, each trader must be compelled to clean (with detergent) his own stall and its surrounding including the walkways. The council supplement this cleaning up with periodic cleaning with jets of water to clear the grime and oil on the floor. (This list is not exhaustive and can be amended or revised as and when the need arises or with additional input from the public) Some of the comments to anticipate from the council, detractors and some of the traders would be: “Difficult; not doable; they will resist; it will cost a lot of money.” The MBPJ is the licencing and enforcement authority. It is armed with the principal legislation like the Food Act and several supplementary municipal regulations and bylaws. If there are insufficient or do not cover certain issues, promulgating bylaws should never be an issue.

Wet markets - a 'new order' of compliance and common sense

The wet market along Jalan Othman in Petaling Jaya, popularly known as the PJ Old Town market, has now been closed for about two weeks. What has since been going on inside is unknown because the entire premises have been sealed. There is reason to believe that some clean-up operations have been or are being undertaken by the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ). Then, on being given the go-ahead by the health authorities, it will be opened again. But don’t do it yet. The closure should be used by the authorities to come out with a “new order” which will protect all stakeholders – the traders, the customers and the council itself. This order should be the forbearer of a system which encompasses compliance and adherence to laws, principles, policies and above all, common sense and logic. It must not remain an order on paper with no teeth. It should be supported by strict compliance, enforcement and punishment. It should be an order where no discretion is given to anyone (however high up he or she is) to bend or break the laws or dispense with procedures. It starts on the premise that the primary objective is to provide a conducive environment – safe and hygienic – to do one's marketing. For the trader, it will ensure his own safety, the ease his system of doing business and practising a good regime that always draws customers. Almost all the local councils in England have their own set of rules and regulations governing the operations of markets and regulating the traders. There’s plenty on the Net.

Bro, grade 25/30 mostly is on floor slab and beam, internal column is grade 40. of course some case might have exception. like retaining wall grade 60. again, it is all design by conslting engineer as accordance to BS 5950. i understand that in the book it keep tell us concrete have high compressive strength and compensate the steel weak of compressive strength. but rebar have yield stress of 460N/mm2 in contrast of concrete have 40N/mm2 (depend on which concreet u use) it's depend on how u lay the rebar. if u lay the rebar horizontally and the loading in from top to bottom, then it's weak in compressive strength, but if u bend the rebar and let it bulging on top and apply the force again, it have way higher compressive strength than concrete. this is also how pre-stress reinforced concrete work came about.

About Dato liew? He will make sure this company share price X13 rise upon again!

morning.............

who...useless organization...and corrupt..thats it..

Better to use usd400M on covid19 than waste it on useless China troll WHO. WHO and China must compensate trillions to affected countries by its export of its Chinese War germ from Wuhan Virology Laboratory. Very clear zhengli manipulated GP41 chromosome and ACE2 angiotensin and inserted HIV gP 120 and gag to allow transfer to human without host a war germ.

Support trump this time! Trump's complaint against WHO is valid.WHO had now instead defended China after Trump's complaint.WHO head should resign under the circumstances to resolve the issue.China is the cause of the virus spreading to the rest of the world by not being forthwith with the truth and the consequences to the world.China is horrendous!Do not let China get away with it just because it has world power and a major trading partner of many nations.

Ha....What was fake about this? The video was not doctored. It was at best misleading and the honorable member could have done her homework better as to when the crowding occurred. Compare this to our current Health Minister and his fake news that warm water defeats Covid 19 and his outlandish claim that he was involved in talks with 500 nations. What is fake here? If this was a PN MP, there would be no further action. Meanwhile the Worlds most useless Health Minister gets to stoke his own ego. Fake? The authorities have a fake attitude when it comes to this issue.

Ask for 1000 ringgit fine like the current deputy Health Minister

ha ha ha padan muka

Former deputy minister Fuziah Salleh will be charged at the Johor Bahru Sessions Court with allegedly spreading fake news tomorrow. According to a statement from the police today, the Kuantan MP will be charged at 8.30am with regard to a video clip uploaded on her Facebook account earlier this month. The posting depicted the Sultan Iskandar Building (CIQ Complex) in Johor Bahru turning chaotic after large crowds of Malaysians returned home from Singapore. The Facebook page later carried a note where the page's "administrator" apologised for posting an old video clip. Previously, federal CID director Huzir Mohamed said the case is being investigated under Section 500 and Section 505(b) of the Penal Code for slander and causing public fear, and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 for the improper use of network facilities or service. Police had also seized the PKR MP's mobile phone to facilitate investigations.

Ex-deputy minister to be charged with spreading fake news

FUZIAH Salleh will be charged at the Johor Baru Sessions Court tomorrow for allegedly spreading fake news, the police said.

In a statement, they said the former deputy minister in the prime minister’s department will be charged at 8.30am over a video clip that was allegedly posted on her Facebook page after the movement control order (MCO) came into force.

A suggestion to look into the authority requirements that add costs to the project. Eg. Land premium cost, development order costs...jps, iwk, syabas contributions, authority adding more and more demands that make the buildable footprint smaller hence making the price higher to compensate for smaller buildable area.. these authority requirements add a big percentage to the costs. Simply asking the developers to reduce price without asking the authorities to reduce their requirements will not succeed

Turbo charged!!! VROOM......VROOM......VROOM......0.065-0.135=100% Turbo charged!!! Buy hold and stay tune for more..................

He he, nice.............

GUYS, Pengemis Bung nak minta Bersatu mengkhianati kerajaan Sabah, hehehe

Sabah Umno open for negotiations, except for pro-Warisan parties

Sabah Umno is willing to consider working with any party for the next general election apart from those that are aligned with Warisan, said Sabah Umno chief Bung Moktar Radin.

He said there were already plans to hold talks with Sabah Bersatu, but was stalled when the movement control order was announced.

“We’ll do that (negotiate with Bersatu). It’s just that it was stopped by the movement control order. I will personally talk to Sabah Bersatu president Hajiji Mohd Noor.

“God willing, we will discuss with Bersatu after the order expires to plan strategies for facing Warisan at the general election. Sabah Umno is prepared to negotiate with any party that is not with Warisan,” he said on Wednesday.

He said this when asked to explain why Perikatan Nasional has not established itself in Sabah.

He was speaking at a talk show moderated by Noor Azizan Abdul Majid, which was broadcasted live on Facebook.

Meanwhile, the Kinabatangan MP admitted that there is discontent towards the federal government.

“Sabah Umno is still stable, although some people say there’s been a little ‘wave’ (of discontent) since PN was established.

“This is because Umno leaders in Sabah felt slighted when not one of its two MPs were chosen to the PN cabinet.

“The same goes for GLCs – Umno Sabah was left out. Some of our leaders are angry towards the prime minister,” he said.

Balance of power in Sabah

He added that there must be ‘balance’ between Umno and Bersatu in Sabah.

“There must be strength in Sabah Umno as a supporter in the formation of PN, whereas (Sabah) Bersatu all got official positions, but Sabah Umno did not.

“How are we going to face the coming general election? There should be a balance between the two parties, and that’s what Sabah Umno leaders are demanding,” he said.

He said he would meet Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to voice Sabah Umno’s views on the ‘unfair allocation’ of political appointments.

“This is not because we are angry, but to ensure balance in facing the 15th general election,” he said.

Previously, Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had penned a letter to Muhyiddin asking for several Sabah Umno leaders to be appointed to lead government agencies.

Among others, Zahid asked Muhyiddin to appoint Bung as the Sabah Federal Development Department chairperson.

Guys, maybe keyman188 will know.

AG is a remarkable hard working person who is sacrificing for the nation & a game changer on the path of INTEGRITY in Malaysia.

Money or Life??? That’s that question to ask

“When the MCO started (in March), we were already reduced to three workers per stall. Now if we only have Malaysians, there will not be enough people to pack and load vegetables, so we will be operating at half capacity," he said. Yesterday, Deputy Federal Territories Minister Edmund Santhara Kumar Ramanaidu had said basic supplies would be purchased from the KL wholesale market traders affected by the enhanced MCO. "We don't want them to suffer losses so we (the FT Ministry) propose to purchase basic supplies from them so that we can distribute to those living in the area. "Rather than purchasing from elsewhere, it is better that I buy it from them to assist the people living in the surrounding areas. This will be done systematically,

KL wholesale market estimates huge losses from temporary closure

The temporary shutdown of the Selayang wholesale market will cost the vegetable traders up to RM15 million in losses. Online news portal The Malaysian Insight (TMI) reported that this is due to the market being closed until Friday to allow for sanitation work to take place. Eight housing areas surrounding the market have been placed under an enhanced movement control order (MCO). Kuala Lumpur Vegetable Wholesalers’ Association president Wong Keng Fatt told TMI that there was not enough time to reduce orders from local farms and Thai exporters. “The vegetables from Thailand have to be booked days in advance and we can no longer reduce our orders in a short time,” he said. He warned that the temporary closure of the market will see Klang Valley experiencing a lack of supply for fresh produce this week and that will result in the prices of fresh vegetables and local fish to go up. Wong said when the market is reopened on Friday, it will then have a problem with lack of manpower as the foreign workers are not allowed out while under enhanced MCO.

KennyDowJones , In this troubled times we see that the virus affects ALL. CNY, Good Friday now Ramadan. If any good comes out of this let it be that we all remember that united we all stand, divided we all fall. May extremism be beaten back and moderates hold the high ground.

He is trying to tell us something ...

'All kinds of togetherness missed'

In Algeria, restaurant owners are wondering how to offer iftar to the needy when their premises are closed, while charities in Abu Dhabi that hold iftar for low-paid South Asian workers are unsure what to do with mosques now closed.

Mohamed Aslam, an engineer from India who lives in a three-bedroom apartment in downtown Abu Dhabi with 14 others is unemployed because of the coronavirus. With his apartment building under quarantine after a resident tested positive, he has been relying on charity for food.

The United Arab Emirates launched a campaign on Sunday to provide 10 million meals or food parcels to communities hit by the outbreak in the country.

In Senegal, the plan is to continue charity in a limited way. In the capital Dakar, charities that characteristically hand out "Ndogou", baguettes slathered with chocolate spread, cakes, dates, sugar and milk to those in need, will distribute them to Quranic schools, rather than on the street.

In Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim-majority country, some people will be meeting loved ones remotely this year.

Prabowo, who goes by one name, plans to host Eid al-Fitr, the celebration at the end of the fasting month, via the online meeting site Zoom instead of flying home.

"I worry about the coronavirus," he said. "But all kinds of togetherness will be missed. No iftar together, no praying together at the mosque, and not even gossiping with friends."

But this year, the authorities have imposed a night curfew and banned communal prayers and other activities, so not many people see much point in buying the lanterns.

Among the few who ventured out was Nasser Salah Abdelkader, 59, a manager in the Egyptian stock market.

"This year there's no Ramadan mood at all," he said. "I'd usually come to the market, and right from the start people were usually playing music, sitting around, almost living in the streets."

Dampening the festivities before they begin, the coronavirus is also complicating another part of Ramadan, a time when both fasting and charity are seen as obligatory

'Worst year ever'

Around the souks and streets of Cairo, a sprawling city of 23 million, the coronavirus has been disastrous.

"People don't want to visit shops, they are scared of the disease. It's the worst year ever," said Samir El-Khatib, who runs a stall by the historic al-Sayeda Zainab Mosque. "Compared with last year, we haven't even sold a quarter."

During Ramadan, street traders in the Egyptian capital stack their tables with dates and apricots, sweet fruits to break the fast, and the city’s walls with towers of traditional lanterns known as "fawanees".

In a country where mosques have been closed, her husband Mohamed Djemoudi, 73, worries about something else.

"I cannot imagine Ramadan without tarawih," he said, referring to additional prayers performed at mosques after iftar, the evening meal in which Muslims break their fast.

Saudi Arabia urged Muslims not to gather for prayers or socialise because of the rising number of coronavirus cases in the Gulf region.

"We are all in one boat, if we commit together we'll safely reach the shore. We used to have a lot of social activities during Ramadan. This year it will be different and I urge everyone to commit to social distancing," Health Minister Tawfiq al-Rabiah said in a televised address on Monday.

In Jordan, the government, in coordination with neighbouring Arab countries, is expected to announce a fatwa, or edict, outlining what Ramadan rituals will be permitted, but for millions of Muslims, it already feels so different.

From Africa to Asia, the coronavirus has cast a shadow of gloom and uncertainty.

In shadow of coronavirus, Muslims face a Ramadan like never before

Days before the holy fasting month of Ramadan begins, the Islamic world is grappling with an untimely paradox of the new coronavirus pandemic: enforced separation at a time when socialising is almost sacred.

The holiest month in the Islamic calendar is one of family and togetherness – community, reflection, charity and prayer.

But with shuttered mosques, coronavirus curfews and bans on mass prayers from Senegal to Southeast Asia, some 1.8 billion Muslims are facing a Ramadan like never before.

Across the Muslim world, the pandemic has generated new levels of anxiety before Ramadan begins on or around Thursday, April 23.

In Algiers, Yamine Hermache, 67, usually receives relatives and neighbours at her home for tea and cold drinks during the month that Muslims fast from dusk till dawn. But this year she fears it will be different.

"We may not visit them, and they will not come," she said, weeping. "The coronavirus has made everyone afraid, even of distinguished guests."
