SABAK BERNAM, OCT 6: Dato’ Menteri Besar, Dato’ Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali pledged that the State Government will always defend the rights and interests of Muslims and Malays.

He said, a true Muslim leader also has the responsibility to be fair and impartial to non-Muslims.

He said, it is a part of government’s progressive action to defend the right of every citizen across all religion and race.

“Such event, in previous years, has went well without creating any problem.

“It includes strict condition prohibiting Muslims in the previous years,” he said to reporters.

He was referring to the approval of an event involving liquor, to be held in Klang and Petaling Jaya, which allegedly did not receive support from police.

Mohamed Azmin had insisted once again that approval from local authorities are always subject to strict conditions.

“That include approval from the police and other departments such as customs and other technical departments, to ensure safety for all attendants.

“We will approve if the organiser meet all the conditions,” he said.

Previously, Klang Municipal Council (MPK) had approved the ‘Centro Mall German Food & Beverage Festival’ when the organiser had met all conditions Klang Utara District Police Headquarters had given conditional support.

MPK also imposes the main requirement that Muslims are not allowed to attend the scheduled festival, on October 12 and 13.

At the same time, the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) has yet to approve the application for Oktoberfest 2017 as the organisers did not comply with the requirements.

BATU CAVES, OCT 2: Selangor’s laudable development and economic achievement are driving foreign investors to invest in the state.

Dato’ Menteri Besar, Dato’ Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali said this was evident from his five-days visit with State Government delegation to India recently.

“We wanted to see how Selangor’s success reached the international community and how we can build a cooperation network to ensure we get investment that genuinely benefit the people and businessmen in Selangor.

“The information we got showed that Selangor is viewed as a suitable and safe destination for them to invest,” he said.

He said that in the Majlis Menyemarakkan Inisiatif Peduli Rakyat dan Ramah Mesra Bersama Dato’ Menteri Besar at the Al-Khairiyah Mosque in Taman Sri Gombak yesterday.

He said the uniqueness of Selangor and Malaysia, as a multi-race, multi-religion and multi-cultural state and country respectively, is also an advantage in this matter.

Mohamed Azmin said, the delegation to Chennai, Tamil Nadu and Hyderabad was joined by Invest Selangor, as India has achieved great progress, attracting international parties and companies to invest there.

“We respect and help each other, and clearly this principle creates the trust for foreign investor to come due to the State Government’s stability.

“I am thankful for Selangor’s success that it has become the most progressed state with the citizens gaining all the benefit,” he said.

SHAH ALAM, SEP 18: The Federal Government is reminded not to violate the Master Agreement signed between State Government and Putrajaya last September 2014.

Dato’ Menteri Besar, Dato’ Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali revealed that Putrajaya is demanding the State Government to pay 40 percent of the Syarikat Pengeluar Air Sungai Selangor Sdn Bhd (SPLASH) takeover value.

However, he said the demand is unreasonable and contrary to the original deal agreed earlier.

“Why should the State Government pay that amount when it is not stated in the original agreement?

“It becomes more suspicious when Putrajaya does not disclose the actual value and merely gives a 40 percent value. So why should we pay?” he questioned at the Malaysia Baru bersama Dato’ Menteri Besar dialogue session at Sultan Alam Shah Musueum last September 16.

He stressed that the State Government will not compromise to allow any restructuring process and Putrajaya’s trick will eventually deny the rights of the Selangor people.

“Any solution must be in the interest of water consumers and people of Selangor. That was the reason we took over the water services industry from the company privatised by the previous administration.

“As a government with integrity, we will not allow the Selangor citizens’ money to be taken for their benefit,” he said.

The water service industry takeover was done with the aim to restructure it towards a holistic service under one operator.

It is now fully managed by the State Government and regulated under National Water Service Industry Act (WSIA) to provide an efficient, effective, competitive and sustainable water service.
