TELITI: Taiping-Banting Highway – Talam, Europlus, IJM (Pt 1)

I was asked by my boss to do a little research into the company that was awarded the contract to build the Taiping-Banting Highway.

Despite previous attempts, I’m no expert in doing corporate research, nor am I an industry insider. So part of the reason I’m posting this is to see whether people have got more [...]

Khaild Ibrahim on the EPF aquisition of RHB

I’m no expert on acquisition, but TS Khalid, Treasurer for PKR, does seem to raise some cogent and distressing points.

I happen to have an English version of his op-ed, enclosed below.

Tian’s side of the story, references to Acmar International

Internet’s been down all day, and weary on many counts right now, but if you want to read something beyond government propoganda, you can hear Tian’s side of the story first hand through the podcast located here and  here.

Finally managed to put up more than one thousand pictures that Lainie did a super job of taking on Monday at Kg. Berembang. Hopefully, some ‘commentary’ will be added to them soon.

On a more positive note, Tian Chua writes (with pics [...]

TELITI: Toll Hikes ‘07 – Who profits the most off the rakyat’s hardship? (Pt 1: Preliminary findings on owners of LITRAK)

Long overdue, and in light of recent suffering (see Malaysiakin videos here and here) I did some basic checking on the companies that own the highways which got hit with toll hikes. I’ll start with Litrak, the company that owns the LDP concession.

These are only very basic preliminary findings – and may or may not [...]

little points: PM, donations, cyanide and judiciary all over the place

Malaysiakini:

Some 3,000 residents of Kampung Baru Bukit Koman in Raub, Pahang, are questioning a state agency’s decision to allow the use of cyanide in a gold-mining operation in Bukit Koman.

A statement released yesterday by the residents’ committee pointed out that serious health and environmental hazards are associated with the use of cyanide.

They claimed that the [...]
