Program Menanam Pokok ‘Cleaner Greener Penang’ bagi kawasan Perai yang dianjurkan oleh Ahli Majlis Visvanathan, adalah permulaan bagi Program ‘Cleaner Greener Penang’ bagi kawasan Perai. Menurut Visvanathan, pokok-pokok yang ditanam adalah bukan sahaja dapat memberikan perteduhan, malah akan mendatangkan satu suasana yang sejuk apabila pokok-pokok tersebut tumbuh besar kelak.

Ramasamy yang telah berucap sebelum melancarkan Program tersebut, telah menyatakan bahawa beliau mempunyai komitmen untuk menjadikan kawasan Perai sebagai kawasan yang bersih dan hijau. Beliau juga memberitahu bahawa pihaknya sentiasa mengambil langkah proaktif supaya penduduk di kawasan Perai hidup sihat dan sejahtera, “Kerana itulah saya telah mengarahkan Majlis Perbandaran Seberang Perai untuk sentiasa menjaga kebersihan di kawasan Perai. Saya juga telah pasang peralatan senaman di 4 kawasan utama Perai, supaya penduduk Perai dapat bersenam dan hidup dalam keadaan sihat. Dr.Ramasamy juga menambah bahawa pihaknya mempunyai rancangan untuk memperluaskan lagi pemasangan peralatan senaman di kawasan DUN beliau.

Dalam ucapanya, Dr Ramasamy juga telah menegaskan bahawa bukanlah tanggungjawab kerajaan sepenuhnya untuk menjaga kebersihan persekitaran di sesuatu kawasan, malah rakyat juga mempunyai tanggung jawab untuk menjaga kebersihan. “Walaupun saya cuba sedaya upaya saya, masih gagal dalam mengubah rakyat di sesetengah kawasan; Mereka membuang sampah sesuka hati mereka, dan tidak langsung mempedulikan kebersihan mahupun kesihatan. Bagaimana kita dapat mengubah orang-orang sebegini?” kesal beliau.

“Dengan mengadakan Program seperti ini, saya berharap Perai akan menjadi satu kawasan yang Bersih dan Indah seperti Singapura!” tambah beliau. Beliau telah menanam sebatang pokok di hadapan Dewan JKKK Taman Inderawasih, sebagai menandakan perasmian pelancaran Program “Cleaner Greener Penang” di Kawasan Perai. Para penduduk tempatan yang hadir pada program tersebut telah meminta kepada Ramasamy supaya mengadakan program sedemikian lebih kerap di kawasan Perai.

Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said the state was identifying a site for the project in Seberang Prai.

“We have identified several sites for the purpose and I am visiting the sites with other relevant officers before selecting the most suitable one for the project,” he said.

Lim said the whole project was at the preliminary stage and they had yet to finalise the other details, including the cost of the project.

The state’s first dialysis centre, which is being built in Balik Pulau at the cost of RM2mil, is expected to be operational by the end of this year, Lim said after visiting the recently restored low-cost flats in Taman Bukit Minyak near Bukit Mertajam.

Also present were Deputy Chief Minister II Dr P. Ramasamy , state executive councillors Lim Hock Seng and Phee Boon Poh, Permatang Pasir assemblyman who is state PAS chief Salleh Man, and State Financial Officer Mokthar Jait.

Commenting on the restoration of the flats, Lim said: “We allocated the funds to repair the flats, although it is private property, because we want to help the poor and we do not want to be seen as neglecting them.”

Dr Ramasamy, who is also Batu Kawan MP, said the state had provided RM266,296 to repair the roof, electrical wiring, switch and distribution boards, and the main water tank in the five-storey walk-up flats which was damaged by a freak storm on March 28.

He said the project was undertaken by Penang Development Corporation’s sister company PDC Nusabina Sdn Bhd, and completed in two months.

He noted that the HEB’s move to give RM114,000 in scholarships last year marked the first time the body had disbursed money for education

Despite a provision in the Board’s enactment for it to render assistance in education and welfare, its activities have been limited to overseeing the management and accounts of five major temples in the state, and to help coordinate the annual Thaipusam festival in Penang.

“When these temples contribute their money to the Board, it is supposed to go to education and welfare,” Ramasamy stressed.

“So what has happened to the money collected for the last fifty years?” he asked, adding that it may have been channelled into other activities.

“That must stop. Money meant for education must be given for education. Don’t touch it,” he said.

He noted that in addition, the state government is now also providing a separate annual allocation totalling RM1.75 million to Tamil schools in Penang.

Penang Deputy Chief Minister (II) Prof Dr P Ramasamy said a proposal is being considered to carve out the 2ha land for conservation, with added features to highlight the history of the community there.

The cemetery which has more than 1,000 graves was first used in the early 1800s to bury indentured labourers brought in by the British colonial administration.

The numerous estates and plantations from that period exists till today, with many descendants of the original settlers still living there.

Ramasamy pointed out that the land was taken over by the previous state government when the Batu Kawan Stadium was being built about 15 years ago, so that it may be used for the stadium’s future expansion.

Many graves are believed to have been built over by the stadium.

“The current state government has now transferred the cemetery land to the Penang Hindu Endowment Board (HEB) so that it can be protected forever,” he said today.

The area is part of some 150 acres that is going to be gazetted by the state around the stadium.

He also revealed that the Penang Development Corporation (PDC) had previously been approached by a group who proposed to exhume all the bodies for RM1 million.

“I am waiting for a report from PDC on this matter and will expose the individuals,” he said.

Ramasamy, who is also HEB chairman, was speaking at a ceremony to give away cheques to tertiary students at Komtar here.

According to Ramasamy, there aren't even 807 Indian members in the few constituencies mentioned by MIC. He rebutted that it is probably MIC's fondness of seeking astrologers that plucks this number out.
