Malaysia paling selamat di Asia Tenggara, ke-19 dunia
Malaysia diiktiraf negara paling selamat di Asia Tenggara dan ke-19 di dunia menerusi laporan Indeks Keamanan Global (GPI) 2011, kata Menteri Dalam Negeri, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.
Beliau berkata, ia juga sekali gus membuktikan kesungguhan, komitmen dan kerja keras semua pihak khususnya pasukan Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) serta agensi-agensi berkaitan.
"Ia termasuklah komitmen sukarelawan polis terlatih dari Angkatan Relawan Rakyat (Rela) dan Jabatan Pertahanan Awam (JPAM),” katanya dalam kenyataan di sini hari ini.
Beliau turut melahirkan penghargaan dan terima kasih kepada pasukan PDRM dan agensi-agensi berkaitan khususnya dalam memastikan rakyat di negara ini dapat hidup dalam keadaan selamat, aman dan tenteram.
Selain itu katanya, pada tahun lepas, jenayah indeks keseluruhan turut mencatat penurunan sebanyak 11 peratus berbanding tahun 2010, melebihi sasaran yang ditetapkan iaitu lima peratus.
Sementara indeks jenayah jalanan pula mencatat penurunan sebanyak 40 peratus berbanding tahun 2009, iaitu selari dengan sasaran yang ditetapkan.
Stesen Komuter Sungai Gadut jadi pilihan 'penghubung' destinasi
- Stesen Komuter Sungai Gadut dekat sini menjadi satu lagi kebanggaan kerajaan Barisan Nasional (BN) apabila ia menjadi pilihan pengangkutan awam sebagai penghubung destinasi bagi mereka yang mendiami kawasan Selatan negeri ini.
Malahan dengan adanya stesen itu, ia turut menepati hasrat kerajaan negeri untuk melihat lebih ramai anak negeri ini menetap di sini, walaupun perlu bekerja di Kuala Lumpur.
Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan berkata, dengan adanya Stesen Komuter Sungai Gadut juga, ia akan menyaksikan penduduk sekitar ini tidak perlu ke Seremban untuk menaiki perkhidmatan itu sebaliknya dari Sungai Gadut mereka boleh terus ke Kuala Lumpur dan destinasi lain.
"Ini dapat mengurangkan kos dan pada masa yang sama mereka boleh meletakkan kereta di kawasan meletak kenderaan yang luas di stesen itu dan terus menaiki komuter ke Kuala Lumpur," ujarnya.
Tambahnya, stesen yang sudah beroperasi itu juga dapat mengurangkan kesesakan di stesen keretapi Seremban, lebih-lebih lagi pada waktu pagi dan lewat petang.
"Stesen ini mempunyai segala kemudahan seperti lif, tandas khas, tempat meletak kenderaan yang luas, begitu juga untuk kegunaan orang kelainan upaya (OKU).
Negeri Sembilan Records RM5.7 Billion In Foreign Investments Last Year
SEREMBAN, March 7 – Negeri Sembilan recorded foreign investments totalling RM5.7 billion last year, making the state among the top five investment destinations in Malaysia.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said this was a good achievement as the state has set the target of RM1 billion in foreign investments annually in order to achieve minimum growth of five percent.
“Last year, the total foreign investments in our manufacturing sector alone (excluding retail and services sectors) amounted to RM5.7 billion.
“We expect the total foreign investments for the manufacturing sector in the state to increase further this year, considering that we now have many negotiations in the pipeline and a lot of people are knocking on our door at present,” he told reporters here today.
Mohamad said this after the signing of sales and purchase agreement for industrial land at Sendayan Valley, Bandar Sri Sendayan near here between Menteri Besar Incorporation (MBI), Akashi Kikai Industry (M) Sdn Bhd and BSS Development Sdn Bhd.
He said the foreign investors’ interest in the state was encouraging based on several factors one of which was that te state is considered part of the greater Klang Valley.
In addition, factories that are now operating in areas such as Shah Alam, Petaling Jaya and Subang Jaya, want to relocate to the state under their expansion programmes.
“Some of them want to unlock the value of their assets…So, they want to relocate, at the same time unlock the potential from industrial to commercial or to housing development where they can reap more value for their land compared to the current usage.
“Hence, Negeri Sembilan is preparing itself since it is considered part of the greater Klang Valley. We have put in place a lot of facilities especially infrastructure. Negeri Sembilan, on the other hand, has an advantage because it is close to KLIA, Port Klang and also the inland port.
“This will also be a catalyst for people to consider coming (to invest) to Negeri Sembilan. There are many investments that are under discussions. One of the issues we are discussing is on supply of gas.
“One of the conditions and a priority raised by the industries is the supply of gas. They don’t want to use electricity from Tenaga Nasional as it’s very costly…They prefer to use gas.
“We are now discussing with Gas Malaysia for the connection of the gas pipeline from Seremban to Bandar Sri Sendayan. If we can work out the gas supply, I’m confident that five or six big companies with multi billion ringgit investment will come to Negeri Sembilan,” he said.
