Lulu Would Not Suggest You Look Up The PPC Chairman Should You Have Marital Problems

This post is a bit late cos the issue was a bit confusing and Lulu had to properly understand what was going on.

background
The Penang Port Sdn Bhd [PPSB] is licensed to operate, manage and maintain port and ferry services in Penang. They are fully owned by the Ministry of Finance (Incorporated). Remember this - the PPSB runs the port and the ferry services.
http://www.penangport.com.my/english/profile/introduction.htm
The Penang Port Commission [PPC] acts as a Port Authority. They issue licences, act as the port landlord, collates data on the port activities and make sure that the lights are on at the FCZ from 730pm to 630am.
http://www.penangport.gov.my/rolesofppc.htm
Since 1 January 1994, the operations of the port and ferry services at Penang Port has been privatised to Penang Port Sdn. Bhd. (PPSB) a licensed operator under the Ports (Privatisation) Act 1990.

Take a look at the board of directors of PPSB and PPC, and note that there are no overlap. They exist independantly.
Tan Cheng Liang is a Mar08 loser and a government political appointee to head PPC

now the story
on 5/6, Star came out with the headliner, Penang Port Sends Out SOS,
PPC Chairman said PPSB has requested PPC to take over the ferry services.

The next day,
Mdm Tan Cheng Liang went on to say that PPSB revealed to her recently that despite having recorded RM23mil in net profit after taxes, it could not go for public listing because of the RM21mil losses it incurred last year from the ferry operations.

Upon hearing this, the CM of Penang responded that he would ask MPPP to take over the port services.
And a war of words transcended with LGE saying he wants MPPP to take over, and that he will send his people to talk to her etc, and Mdm Tan CHeng Liang insisting that he submits a proposal to her.
to quote her,
"My room at PPC is open, but please give me a proposal"

and then, the good ol twist
The PPSP boss said he never told PPC that it was going to give up the management of the ferry operations, and was in fact, woking on a turnaround plan.

You know what was the most devious part of all this?

All the time while she was chasing after and harping over Lim Guan Eng to submit the proposal from the State to her [even though PPSB had never said they wanted to give up the ferry and she was not authorised to say anything about it], she had her own secret agenda of taking over the services.
My goodness. Talk about syiok sendiri.
Fainted.
How much more of a low life schemer can one be.

btw,
Ong Tee Keat said the ministry had in fact instructed Tan to prepare reports not only on the RM21 million in losses incurred in the operation of ferry services last year, but also on deteorating business at the Penang Port, to enable the federal government to address the problems.
Note - she was only asked to prepare a report, but she was
a) confused by the instructions
b) jumped the gun
c) syiok sendiri
[choose one, or maybe it went in the a->b->c sequence]
and went and did all kinds of nonsense.
Lulu would advise OTK that should he have any marital problems, never to confide in TCL and/or ask her to investigate whats going on. Looking at this, Lulu is amused imagining how she would a)/b)/c) her bosses instructions.

i really, really hope to see Hannah contributing to our nation through that committee

Lulu Is Like, "WHAT???? MACC is investigating Hannah Yeoh?????"

7 Pakatan assemblymen under MACC probe, claim victimisation
SHAH ALAM, July 13 – Pakatan Rakyat (PR) today claimed that seven of its assemblymen are under investigation by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) over the allocation of funds to schools, mosques and community associations.
The assemblymen are Teresa Kok (Kinrara), Ean Yong Hian Wah (Sri Kembangan), Dr Cheah Wing Yin (Damansara Utama), Elizabeth Wong (Bukit Lanjan), Hannah Yeoh (Subang Jaya), Lau Weng San (Kampung Tunku) and Edward Lee (Bukit Gasing).
Teresa Kok told reporters at the state legislature that the MACC confiscated the seven assemblymen’s files on the state’s allocation fund from the district office two weeks ago.

they won't even spare Hannah Yeoh, or anyone of the other six.
Come on-lah....
for one, stop harrasing the recipients of the allocation.

In my case, I donated RM10,000 to a surau in Puchong but now the imam and the mosque’s working committee have been interrogated by MACC officers for several hours two days ago. They will come and interrogate them again tonight

and secondly,

when Barisan Nasional assemblymen lost in the 12th general election, the assemblymen spent RM500,00 in two months but the MACC had yet to take any action.

MACC independant?
what a joke

Lulu knows these 7 are not scared because they disbursed the money honestly. but its terrible that MACC is scaring the recipients of the allocation with needless long interrogation. Lulu has no problem if they called the recipients up for simple questioning or something like that. But continuous questioning borderlining an interrogation is too much. bullies! [imagine lulu sticking out her tongue as she calls out the bullies]

Lulu Laughs At Gerakan Youth

These Gerakan Youth, or rather, their vice chairman has been harping on and on and on over the CM's pindah rumah.
The CM shifted as his official house, Seri Teratai, is termite infested. The problem is really bad as one of the beams in the house checked was pretty much hollowed out having been termite food.

pix of beam from Seri Teratai
can you imagine having it "supporting" the ceiling/roof above your head?

But these Gerakan fellas go on and on and on and on, like a broken recorder, not realising that they are only embarassing themselves. The owner of the house had renovated the house prior to renting it out, and that, they also want to make noise. Can you imagine being asked to account for a renovation your landlord did before you moved in? duh..... silly dorks

Why dont they go after more popular causes in Penang? The most prominent one, right or wrong, is Kg Buah Pala. Go make some noise over there-lah. Demand that the present government resolve it. Just because the Gerakan-led government gave it away doesnt mean you cant make noise about it.

But then again, they're probably as hollow as the beams in Seri Teratai.

Lulu Wonders How Huge Is Huge, and Offers Her Services at Half The Price of Huge

The Government will allocate a huge budget to facilitate translation of science and technology-based reference materials to Bahasa Malaysia.
Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said it was part of the measures being planned to ensure there would be enough technical reference materials in the national language.
The Star - Move to ensure enough science and technical reference materials in BM

Lulu offers her services.

afterall, put it this way
English Malay
science sains
technology teknologi
mathematics matematik
get the drift?

so, throw Lulu some English science and technical references, and let Lulu practise her translation skills.

Lulu Sokongs Teaching Of Math and Science in The Mother Tongue

are you surprised?

Unlike UMNO who has chosen to reverse the Teaching of Mathematics and Science in English policy and revert to Bahasa Malaysia in national schools and Chinese and Tamil in vernacular schoola because it "memartabatkan bahasa Malaysia", Lulu has her own reasons.

Lulu comes from an english/cantonese speaking family. BM was not spoken at home. Lulu struggled through std 1 cos the medium was malay. Lulu knew that sugar is sweet but couldn't remember that gula is manis. manis, masam, masin - lulu, not being the brightest lightbulb in the room, used to get it mixed up.
But somehow, after 13 years of sekolah kebangsaan education, lulu worked it out.

maybe you are thinking, that is exactly why we want math and science to be taught in english. if you expose the child to the language long enough, the child will pick it up.

but there is a big difference here.

in lulu's time, lulu's teachers were proficient in bahasa malaysia. they weren't struggling with it. they didn't end every verb with an "s" or whatever the equivalent of that mistake would be in bm. you get what i mean?

today's teachers can't teach in english cos they themselves can't speak decent english. how can we even hope that the children will be able to gain from learning math and science in english?

the government is right this time [yeh-yeh... lulu is not always in disagreement with the government. only when they are wrong, which is :P quite often] in reverting back to mother tongue for teaching math and science. the teaching of english needs to be improved greatly. government needs to be more stringent and selective when choosing future teachers of the language. a basic requirement should include able to speak the language.

for those whose mother tongue is English like Lulu's, well... :P

Lulu Hopes Murugiah Was Wrong

Last week, whilst speaking to reporters after meeting Putra Heights residents, Datuk T. Murugiah had a cultural shock when he visited the Cameron Highlands Hospital maternity ward recently and found Orang Asli mothers as young as 11 and 12 years old.

NST and the Star reported that what worried him more was that these minors were ignorant that they needed to register the births of their babies.
Berita Harian reported that
Lebih membimbangkan, remaja berusia 12, 13 dan 15 tahun itu tidak mengetahui siapa bapa kepada anak mereka kerana mendakwa tidur dengan lebih daripada seorang lelaki.
But consistent with the english papers, murugiah did not propose any solutions to protect these ultra-young mothers. He was focused on unregistered birth.
Terkejut dengan perkara itu, beliau berkata, apa yang lebih membimbangkan apabila remaja terbabit mendakwa tidak mengetahui bapa kepada anak mereka kerana tidur dengan ramai lelaki.

Lulu doesnt know if Murugiah spiced up his story or what,
but the hospital has denied his claim
Hospital Sultanah Hajjah Kalsom Cameron Highlands director Dr Mahanim Md Yusof denied there were any cases of Orang Asli mothers, as young as 11, giving birth in the hospital.
She was responding to reports quoting Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Senator Datuk T. Murugiah who said he was shocked to find mothers as young as 11 and 12 years old in the hospital's maternity ward during a visit.
In a statement yesterday, Dr Mahanim said at the time of Murugiah's visit to the hospital on Thursday, there was a 17-year-old Orang Asli girl who delivered in the hospital.
"She is still warded and the hospital is in the process of getting welfare aid for mother and child and help through the National Registration Department.
http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Sunday/National/2599947/Article/index_html

Lulu hopes Murugiah was wrong and the hospital is right, not just because she thinks Murugiah is a blithering idiot, but cos if what he saw was true, then there must be many, many more very young girls who are being exploited like that :(

If Lulu Were A Big Time Fund Manager Managing A Portfolio Which Includes Intel Stocks.

Lulu would have reduced her portfolio immediately once she read this piece of news

State MCA economic bureau head Loh Chye Teik was quoted on Wednesday as saying that Intel would be shifting out from Penang in the next three months. http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2009/7/2/north/4237563&sec=north

After all, if a plant shifts/closes down one of his sites especially when there is no news of a new substitute plant opening, that would be a sign that the manufacturer has not enough volume and all kinds of red lights are flashing in your face.

Penang Chief Minister, Lim Guan Eng said he had contacted Intel Malaysia's managing director Atul Bhargava who confirmed that the statement by MCA was false.
http://www.sun2surf.com/article.cfm?id=35252

When contacted, Loh said he got the information from a reliable source.
“I just hope that the state government will put all effort to keep Intel in Penang.

This idiot Loh is truly irresponsible to come up with a statement like this.
"from a reliable source"
"I hope the state goverment will..."
what an idiot
please-lah.... if you're a big time big shot State MCA economic bureau head, then you should at least quietly verify what you heard with the proper channels. Intel's phone number is available on their website. If you find out that it is a baseless rumour, then you need to correct your reliable source. If there is some truth to the "information", then [cos he MCA wont call the state government] call MITI, MARTRADE and lulu-forgot-who-the-other-M-is-cos-its-now-2am and get them to meet up with Intel to seek the truth and see if the government can do anything to keep Intel in Penang.

Do you really need Lulu to teach you all this? Aiyoh!
