LUMPUR, 2 Feb (Hrkh) - Orang ramai yang prihatin dengan kadar kenaikan tol yang
makin menekan diminta hadir beramai-ramai dalam siri bantahan rakyat terhadap
tindakan kerajaan menaikkan kadar tol di lima buah tol di Lembah Klang di pusat
membeli-belah IOI Mall, Puchong, 4 Februari ini.
Demonstrasi anjuran Gabungan Protes Kenaikan Harga Tol (Protes) itu akan
diadakan jam 4 petang, sebagai rentetan kepada beberapa siri bantahan yang
diadakan sebelum ini.
Sebelum ini, demonstrasi membantah kenaikan harga tol itu diadakan di Sunway
Pyramid, Plaza Tol Kuala Lumpur-Karak dan Plaza Tol Cheras-Kajang.
Setiausaha Protes, Dr Hatta Mohd Ramli, berkata perhimpunan di Puchong kali
ini, bukan sahaja berusaha membantah kenaikan harga tol, tetapi membantah
siasatan yang akan dikenakan kepada empat orang yang terlibat dalam pendedahan
perjanjian tol di antara syarikat konsesi dan kerajaan, di bawah Akta Rahsia
Rasmi (OSA).
Isnin ini, Dr Hatta, Ronnie Liu, Tian Chua dan Dato' Khalid Ibrahim akan
dipanggil memberi keterangan di Bukit Aman. - mks.
Toll hike: Fourth protest on Feb 4 in Puchong

Thu | Feb 01, 07 | 08:39:34 AM KUALA LUMPUR,
Feb 1(Hrkh) - The fourth protest against toll hike will be conducted on Feb 4,
at the IOI Shopping Complex in Puchong near here, said Dr Mohd Hatta Ramli, the
secretary of a coalition of political parties, trade unionists and non
governmental organizations against the hike.
"We urge the public to be present at this gathering to oppose the
'anti-rakyat' decision of the government, so that they will revoke the decision
for the hike and for them to reveal all highway concessionaires agreement," he
said.
"The coalition is of the opinion that the government should not treat the
concessionaires' agreements as an official secret because it does not involve
dealing of arms or national security but only documents about construction of
ordinary infrastructures," he said in a statement to Harakahdaily today.
Mohd Hatta who is also the Islamic Party of Malaysia (PAS) treasurer said a
recent statement by Works Minister Datuk Seri Samy Vellu that the government
would arrest those who had "stolen" the agreement, only showed that the
government feared that the public would know about the content of the document.
Detractors had said that the content of the agreement of one particular
concessionaire obtained showed that it was drafted in such a way that it gave
the government very little power but turned the private company which was
granted the concession into a "money-making machine".
In the last peaceful gathering conducted on Jan 21, twenty one protestors were
arrested and five of them were sent to a hospital as a result of alleged
manhandling by the authorities.
Beginning Jan 1, five highways in the Klang Valley experienced some 20 to 60
per cent increase in toll prices.[ES]
Protes tol di IOI Mall, Puchong 4 Febuari

Rakyat Negeri Selangor menyeru seluruh rakyat, terutamanya ahli dan penyokong
keADILan, untuk bersama-sama hadir pada perhimpunan aman PROTES TOL di IOI
Mall, Puchong pada 4 Februari 2007, jam 4 petang.
Perhimpunan aman ini adalah sangat penting bagi menyatakan suara rakyat
memprotes kenaikan kadar tol, penggunaan OSA untuk menyembunyikan maklumat
mengenai konsesi lebuhraya dan tindakan ganas polis terhadap rakyat yang
berhimpun secara aman dalam protes tol pada 21 Januari lalu di Cheras.
Rakyat tidak boleh berdiam diri dan membiarkan Barisan Nasional bertindak
sewenang-wenangnya tanpa mengambil peduli terhadap kesengsaraan dan kesempitan
hidup yang dialami rakyat akibat daripada keputusan mereka menaikkan kadar tol,
harga runcit petrol dan diesel, kadar elektrik dan kadar air.
Protes ini terpaksa diadakan kerana pemimpin BN bukan sekadar tidak peduli
terhadap bantahan rakyat, malah mereka menggunakan Akta Rahsia Rasmi (OSA)
untuk merahsiakan dokumen perjanjian konsesi tol bagi melindungi amalan korup
mereka.
KeADILan Selangor menggesa rakyat untuk memberi sokongan dan penyertaan penuh
terhadap usaha yang dijalankan oleh Gabungan Protes Tol (PROTES) dan keADILan
Selangor memberikan komitmen penuh untuk memberi kerjasama dan sokongan kepada
PROTES.
