APRIL 28 — Kiara in Hindi means “god’s precious gift” or in Korean means “First ray of sun”. In, as a cub, Kiara is curious and wild-hearted and grew to be very strong-willed and possesses a strong desire for independence and self-sufficiency.Firstly, I would like to know why the Federal Territories minister has to make a lot of press statements on the TRK proposed development. And pushing so hard to make it happen albeit, on a smaller scale. Decision is now being pushed to the Cabinet.
Not too long ago the minister said “If the MACC finding reveals there were elements of abuse of power and corruption, this whole project will be considered illegal”.There is also a joint working committee set up to deal with issues and find an amicable solution. Sadly, it met only once and apparently not much was discussed in details to find a solution. I can only assume that the minister found the JWC ineffective to be able to come out with a solution and have to run to the Cabinet.
It is heartening to note that a few months ago the minister wanted certain powers vested in him and the mayor of Kuala Lumpur to be removed to prevent corruption in land matters. He also cited cases of developers obtaining green spaces in prime areas to undertake commercial development through direct negotiations by “giving kick-backs”.
