YOURSAY ‘Japanese follow rules and procedures. They don't offer contracts without public tender.’

'Incinerators safe for Japan, why not here?'

Anonymous #19098644: The Japanese thought the nuclear reactor in Fukushima was fail safe. Well, it failed!

An incinerator should be at least 500 metres and not 350 metres away from any residential area. This most basic requirement is not even met with the proposed Taman Beringin incinerator. If it is so safe and so good, why don’t we have it in Putrajaya then?

It’s incredible that the BN government thinks the rakyat are all idiots. Do have some respect for the people of this nation even though your intellect and IQ are highly suspect, especially given what you have been saying.

Davidfsc: If it is so safe, build it next to Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Minister Abdul Rahman Dahlan's house.

Please stop comparing with Japan as we are no where near them in terms of work ethics and dedication. To begin with, we can't even build proper schools, hospitals and stadiums with assurances that they will not collapse.

Oriole: Are we talking about Japan as an environmental model - the same country which has leaky nuclear reactors, leading to one of the most dangerous modern-day environmental disasters?

Abdul Rahman, please work on finding more credible examples. And if it is so safe, please build the incinerator in your backyard or your child's schoolyard.

Anonymous #40538199: Abdul Rahman said the government cannot operate based on rumours and unfounded allegations. But from his response to Serdang MP Ong Kian Ming, it seems that he is rebutting the local university study based on information which he googled.

Bury Lynas: Abdul Rahman, big deal using Japan as an example. Do you have any idea why Japan can build incinerators next door to schools and hospitals? Because Japan does not have enough land for it. They are forced to build next to schools and hospitals.

Why don’t you google it and see if the residents there suffer lung cancer and lung-related illnesses. If it is so good, why not build it near Putrajaya or near your house? Use your brain once in a while and not just your big mouth.

888: The Japanese are a totally different type of people. They follow rules and procedures. They don't offer contracts without public tender. Over there, you have to separate wastes and every household follows it strictly.

Here? We are none of the above.

YUNoAnon: To compare anything in Japan with Malaysia is laughable, bordering on stupidity. The Japanese have a work attitude that will put Malaysian professionals to shame.

Doc: If incinerators are safe as claimed by Abdul Rahman, then why not put the incinerators in Putrajaya, say behind the PM's Department or behind PM’s residence there.

If it's safe to be installed behind schools and hospitals in Japan then it should be safe to be installed behind our PM's residence or office.

Teresa Kok 'egged' by unidentified man

Multi Racial: Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and the inspector-general of police will says that as only an egg was involved, and the incident was not life threatening, so there will be no need to take any action.

Even in a certain murder case, it took police years and they still unable to catch the murderer or murderers. Where got time for eggy problems?

Not Smart: Let’s look at two situations - the kangkung flash mob and this egg incident. Both persons involved are elected representatives but one is the country’s number one leader.

The views of one turn out be very comical/funny to the rakyat, whilst the other made a comical/funny video for the rakyat.

The actions of both largely offended certain specific groups of people. For one person, some had poked fun at the target following the act, while for the other, some had reacted by intimidating and threatening the person involved.

So viewers, draw your own conclusions as to the actions of these leaders, but more so on the conduct, reactions and behaviour shown by certain people.

Pisasu 7: I feel sorry for Seputeh MP Teresa Kok. However, please grow up as a stateswoman. After all, you are an example so do not make any more silly videos - they are just a waste of time, having to deal with morons and racists.

NH Gong: Perhaps after the bloody chicken you see a ‘egg-straordinary’ demonstration. What is the cultural significance of an egg in this situation? Are you reading too much into an eggful of remorse/anger/support/confusion?

Anonymous #02382443: Those who cannot conduct their affairs in a civil and gentlemanly manner have no place in our society. They should return to the jungle to live with their distant cousins.

Fair Play: If the victim of this dirty trick was a minister or the PM, can we just imagine what could have happened to that person now?
