Some ideas not included in draft KL Local Plan Posted: 02 Dec 2010 11:34 PM PST Source: http://thestar.com.my/metro (By PRIYA MENON, 3/12/2010) STAKEHOLDERS and residents of several housing areas in Kuala Lumpur have mixed reactions after reviewing the amended draft of the Kuala Lumpur Local Plan 2020 during a two-day briefing held on Nov 30 and Dec 1 at the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) headquarters. They are unhappy that the plan did not include some of the ideas that were suggested when the draft plan was first introduced… Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng said he had received mixed reviews from his constituency on the lack of LRT in the area. "Residents of the more affluent places like Taman Tun Dr Ismail and Bukit Damansara were unhappy when they first found out about the proposed LRT line. Now with the amended plan, no such development has been marked so they are happy. On the other hand, places like Sungai Penchala, Kampung Segambut Dalam and Desa Park City are made up of middle-income and lower-income people and they have been waiting for the LRT line to come so this is a disappointment to them," added Lim. He also said KL mayor Datuk Seri Ahmad Fuad Ismail had left several areas untouched to accommodate the Greater KL plan by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. Lim said the Greater KL's biggest project was to provide an MRT line in the Klang Valley and the current draft plan was conflicting it. "I laud the DBKL's efforts in coming up with the draft plan. They are doing a great thing but both the draft plan and the Greater KL plan are conflicting each other," he said.

I was just overjoyed, maintains Lip Eng Posted: 02 Dec 2010 11:33 PM PST Source: http://thestar.com.my/news (1/12/2010) Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng has denied allegations that he was drunk during the Selangor DAP convention on Sunday, saying that he was merely "overjoyed" with Seputeh MP Teresa Kok's victory. He said he had also apologised for his behaviour that night and had replied to a show-cause letter by the party's national disciplinary committee on the incident. "I have replied to the show-cause letter and am prepared to face any action from the disciplinary committee," he said yesterday. He said he had received the letter via email on Monday evening and replied immediately. He said he also sent a letter to the party headquarters. Lim was issued the letter on Monday after he had allegedly caused a commotion at the convention when he grabbed a microphone and shouted: "Teresa Kok won!" before being told to leave the hall. The MP, who was aligned to Kok's team in the state DAP polls, was also reported to have told her rival, Selangor state assembly Speaker Teng Chang Khim, to resign and tweeted that he must quit to form his "new Oscar party". Although Kok finished 11th in the voting, she was elected state chairman while Teng, who garnered the fourth highest number of votes, was made vice-chairman. Lim said that although he was not sure of the kind of disciplinary action that might be taken against him, he felt it might include a reprimand, suspension or even sacking. "I regret my mistake and I deserve any action against me. I hope it will be a lesson to party members not to repeat the mistake," he said, adding that he would continue to serve the party. DAP's disciplinary committee chairman Tan Kok Wai confirmed that he had received Lim's reply and that it would meet later in the month to look into his explanation. Besides Lim, two other DAP members who received show-cause letters were Singapore Street DAP branch chairman Anthony Teo and Karamunting branch chairman Simon Chok. Both men, who are from Sandakan, Sabah, were alleged to have made accusations against the party and run down its leaders. They were issued the letters on Nov 25.
