Today, as we start the State Assembly debates, marks 8 weeks since the 13th General Elections. To the followers of this blog, I would like to apologize for not writing here sooner, but I would like to take this opportunity to thank all Bukit Gasing voters for their overwhelming support for DAP and me in the recent election. Thank you for believing in me and trusting me with your vote. 

I am interested to hear what you have to say face to face. Any feedback, suggestions, comments - all appreciated.

Dear Residents of Bukit Gasing,

I have signed your petition entitled “Petition to all GE13 candidates standing for election on issues relating to Bukit Gasing and Section 5 Petaling Jaya sustainable living issues” that was presented to me as I understand the importance of the core issues to the residents, and am fully supportive of the spirit behind each matter.

I would like to take this opportunity to share with you my thoughts and convictions on the matters raised in the petition.

A. Protection of Bukit Gasing & Development

1. Landslides are a major concern along the hill slopes of Bukit Gasing, and I have witnessed the negative impact of the numerous recent landslides. I pledge to uphold the green lung designation of the PJ side of Bukit Gasing, and to not support the alienation of any new land on Bukit Gasing to private developers for any new development.

2. The maintenance of the hill slope of Bukit Gasing is crucial to preventing further landslides & mudslides. Landowners, both private and public, must take responsibility in this. In cases where neglect/abandonment by landowners result in danger to the lives of residents, I am open to push for the forfeiture of land by the state.

3. Any proposal to develop privately owned land on Bukit Gasing must be scrutinized to the highest degree --  which includes independent geological studies; and done so in a transparent manner by engaging all stakeholders, while being in compliance with all related planning laws and guidelines.

4. The rebuilding of the Sivan Temple is of very high priority, and I will make efforts to ensure that it is implemented with sensitivity and in compliance with all laws and regulations.

B. Traffic Congestion

I fully agree that traffic congestion is a serious concern (as highlighted in Point  7). These are the items that I will be championing if I am elected into office:

1. There must be a proper plan to overcome and tackle peak hour congestions, which I will champion to be created by an independent and qualified traffic consultant. I will push to ensure that this will be implemented by MBPJ.

2. In instances of unavoidable or necessary development, I will speak out to ensure that requirements are imposed to the developer/ development to contribute cost towards the implementation of traffic plans and additional public infrastructure to mitigate traffic congestion.

These issues which are important to you, are important to me. I believe the petition is a start towards engaging closer with the community in finding the best solution. I look forward to continuously communicating with you through the various means we have; be it in person through our town hall sessions and service center, or through our online channels.

Sincerely,

Rajiv Rishyakaran

DAP Candidate for the 13th General Elections for state seat N34 Bukit Gasing

I have been asked a number of things in the campaign trail, (1) Where did I come from, (2) Why I joined politics, (3) Am I really new in politics?

All these I have answered in the video.

It was recently announced that I will represent DAP to contest in the State seat of Bukit Gasing (N34).

Malaysia is a country with huge untapped potential. We could achieve so much more. 

Let’s start small first, from our neighbourhood, let’s get it right first for the residents.

It's time for a better, more prosperous & progressive Malaysia. 

Yours truly,
Rajiv

After requesting for an info center for the last few months, I'm glad that Prasarana has finally set this up. Now residents who have questions or queries on the LRT project can turn to someplace.

Following my last update,
http://www.rajiv4malaysia.com/2012/11/grand-dorsett-court-case.html

The most recent court hearing was 4th February 2013, where Mayland has applied to strike out MPSJ's amended statement of claim. (The date for this hearing to strike out is not known yet)

MPSJ has applied to amend the statement of claim, upon discovering new information with the building plan application and approval, which we believe will strengthen our case.


Some background info to this case:

Happy Chinese New Year to all... May you have a good time with your family, and a prosperous year ahead :)
