This is what democracy is about - one should be able to make informed and rational views even if they are not in line with the views and actions of the government of the day. But let us also hear what other councillors have to say..how do they reflect the concerns of the rakyat? On another note, I think those who do not follow your comment guidelines should not have their comments posted. I believe your esteemed blogsite should not be allowed to become a PR vs. BN, LGE vs KTK battleground. It has been going on ad nauseum. Dear Anil,

See traffic compounds also can get discount if you refuse to pay in-time, consequently we have second highest road accident rate in the world.

Just imagine the tenants suing the owners for not keeping the buildings in a habitable manner! Is that a WW2 ruin or a supposed heritage building? Actually, can the state sue the owners for keeping the buildings in a dilapidated state? Or is the solution is ala KBP where the government (state of course, not federal) is supposed to cough up the money to buy up the gazetted sites?

The government just cannot afford to buy up and restore all these buildings by its own, where is that money going to come from? It would definitely be nice if we could save all the old buildings but this is not really realistic especially once we factor in the cost involved. Some of these decaying buildings are in such a bad shape that any developer would not even dare to take it up as a potentially profitable project (yes the developers will tell you they need to make money too!).

Please, if you keep going on like this, you will definitely go crazy. Calm down. Take a deep breath. Relax. In the photo above, the building under construction was approved by the previous BN govt. Construction started even before Pakatan came to power. That should be obvious. I think “Gerakan K” and “K” has gone berserk. Please, if you keep going on like this, you will definitely go crazy.
