Just curious, every MP will take some time off to "interact" with the people. What is it call? Meet-the-People session?
Well, if it's "Meet-the-People", shouldn't the MPs be walking around rather than the people searching high-and-low for them? -
Ah... do not forget that in the context of the govt, they are the center of the universe. Therefore, meet-the-people session essentially means "I am here, now is your rare chance to meet me."Originally posted by Hogzilla:Just curious, every MP will take some time off to "interact" with the people.

Indonesia needs a strong man like Suharto who can get things done. The Indonesian President is helpless if their fiercely-independent Parliament does not want to act.
Want to stop all burning? Impose the death penalty and be prepared to carry it out...that will stop it quick enough. Of course the poor who are forced to carry out such burnings will suffer most, but the burning will stop. Alternatively, neighbouring nations must be prepared to pay millions to the Indonesians to persuade them not to slash and burn. There must be a disincentive to burning. If they stand to lose millions of dollars if the haze returns, you can be sure it will be in the interests of the Indonesians to stop the burning. -
very easy why so difficult for the Indon gahmen meh? those land that were burned...belongs to who...its that particular owner of the alnd burned that should be responsoble...no matter if the fire started on its own or someone plays a mischief or he secretly hire some firegod to do it the gahment there can don't care coz the land under that guy's name caught fire he should be responsible...he should maintain that land or hire or fence up the whole bl oody ared if its his land he concern about. fine the owner and fine him heavily for every fire. if the land do not belong to anyone then its the Indon gahmen that should be responsible..they have to fix the prob themsleves.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:What mistake has he committed?

that's it no more welfare next time got tsunamimi or disasters we should not donate to the Indons...we should save it because every year this time around sure got haze and we sure see doctor the money can be saved up for our own use. the gahmen can just see a few 1/2F medic and fly our flag there beside the Red cross tent for shown can oredi. -
I think Yaacob should resign, he cant solve the haze problem, take so big salary, blame indonesia, what happen if there is leak in nuclear plant, indonesia intend to build one, we will die of radiation, pls minister wake up citizen of singapore pls protest !!!!!Originally posted by AnotherView:The way Yaacob defensively and irresponsibly responded to Sylvia Lim's concerns
clearly indicates to me that the TT Durai and NKF-type Sagas are still very much alive. -
INDONESIA is unlikely to ratify an Asean anti-haze agreement any time soon even though President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has said that it would.
Environment ministers from neighbouring countries, who met in Pekanbaru about a week ago to discuss the problem, had requested that Jakarta ratify the treaty.
But it now appears that the treaty will remain stalled in Parliament here.
In fact, a member of the parliamentary commission for the environment said MPs had actually decided to postpone the process before Dr Yudhoyono called Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Oct 12 to assure him that action would be taken.
'The pledge had caught us by surprise,' said Mr Alvin Lie, a member of the commission which is leading the debate on the ratification.
He told The Sunday Times yesterday: 'All the factions in the commission, including those from the President's own Democrat Party, had agreed earlier that there should be certain steps taken by the government before the ratification process would resume.'
Chief among these would be a firm commitment by the Yudhoyono administration to act on other cross-border environmental issues involving Indonesia's Asean neighbours.
These included Malaysia's alleged role as the biggest buyer of illegally-logged timber from Indonesia and illegal fishing in Indonesian waters by Thai fishermen.
In an article in the Koran Tempo daily, Mr Lie had also tied the ratification to a non-environmental issue: ongoing talks between Singapore and Indonesia over an extradition treaty.
Mr Lie has spoken about the need for a 'balance of benefits'. The decision to postpone the ratification was based on the commission's view that Indonesia already has several existing laws that can deal with the haze problem, he said.
'Hence, we do not need to be afraid of pressures from other countries,' said Mr Lie....

You do not understand the issue. Your protests and big words by the WP make good headlines but do not solve the problem.Originally posted by t_a_s:I think Yaacob should resign, he cant solve the haze problem, take so big salary, blame indonesia, what happen if there is leak in nuclear plant, indonesia intend to build one, we will die of radiation, pls minister wake up citizen of singapore pls protest !!!!!
No ASEAN country can force Indonesia to do anything unless you are advocating a war with them. What bargaining chips do you have?
Even the Indonesian President cannot do much when their Parliament refuses to act. That's the problem with multi-party democracy. The Indonesian President may know what has to be done, wants to get it done but his hands are tied by Parliament. If it had been Suharto's time, all we need to do is to persuade Suharto, bribe or threaten just one man. Now we have the entire Indonesian Parliament to deal with.
THe only way to deal with this problem now is to 'bribe' the entire Indonesian nation. Offer them millions or billions of dollars in aid tied to the eradication of the haze problem. -
no way. we rather save up the millions of dollars improving the air over at our skies this year around. the best is to escalate the problem to the UN or cut down or better stop all samitarian aids to Indonesia now that we need it more than they do.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:You do not understand the issue.
