Federal Territories to sing a new tune Posted: 17 Sep 2010 05:03 AM PDT Source: http://thestar.com.my/metro (By BAVANI M, 17/9/2010) Labuan MP Datuk Yussof Mahal also agreed that the current song was too slow. "It does not raise the spirit of the The move, however, has drawn flak from Opposition leaders who are questioning the rationale and reasoning for changing the song. "The FT anthem is a respected emblem of the city and should reflect the values of a city. If its lyrics no longer reflect that values then by all means make the changes otherwise why change it,'' said Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng. Lim added that the FT song was not a fashion statement that could be changed as and when the need arose. Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar expressed shock when she heard about the song change. "What ever for? The song holds a special meaning for the people of KL. It inculcates a sense of belonging with the residents and gives them something to be proud of,'' she said. "This is also disrespectful to the previous Agong and it speaks volumes on how Teacher Sulaiman Yaaob said the song Maju dan Sejahtera held a deep meaning for him as it had been sung in his school in Keramat for the past four years. "It provided us with a deep sense of belonging and I do not think it is a good idea to change it now after four years,'' he said. Student Tan Hui Ling of SMK Sri Sinar in Segambut said they had already learnt the song by heart and it would be a hassle to learn a new one. "Maybe the authorities can change the beat or tempo like what they did with the Negaraku,'' she said. |
New traffic lights causing congestion Posted: 17 Sep 2010 04:58 AM PDT Source: http://thestar.com.my/metro (6/9/2010) A new traffic lights system in Segambut, Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng said the traffic lights were installed by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) three months ago without consulting the residents. He added that last week during the testing of the traffic lights, there was a huge backlog spilling into Jalan Duta from Jalan Segambut Pusat and Jalan Segambut. "Despite that, the traffic lights became functional this week and there are many unhappy people here because it takes more time to get to their destinations," he said during a press conference on Friday. He said he would bring the matter to Businessman Liew Way Mun, who operates an auto parts shop in Jalan Segambut Selatan, said it now took him 45 minutes to get to his shop from Jalan Segambut when previously it took less than 10 minutes before the traffic lights started operating. "There is also a problem getting back to Jalan Segambut from my office. Last time it took me only three minutes but now I am stuck for almost half an hour," he said. Another businessman said the traffic lights were not solving any traffic problems but only causing more frustration among motorists. "Before it was operational we did not think it would be a problem but now I must say it is madness. DBKL should have conducted a proper traffic study before deciding on this," he said. |
