Kuokuang Petrochemical Technology Co proposed a huge petrochemical investment project in Taiwan in 2005 to build petrochemical plants in Yunlin. However the location changed to the coast of central Zhanghua county in 2008 after failing the environment assessment. On April 22 2011 President Ma Ying-jeou announced his withdrawal of support for the project. However KPTC has won red-carpet approval to start business in Pengerang with a 10year tax holiday.

BACKGROUND READING ON KPTC

The Whistler returned my call with a mild rebuke: "Do you know it is 3:00am in Ohio?" I called him for info on KPTC’s 10 year tax break. His reply: "What tax holiday….the "tax" is paid in advance to fast track processing approval. The money is already in the pocket(s) lah."
"OK go back to sleep," I consoled him….but I hear CNN in the background…..maybe like me he has to have the TV on to induce sleep.
Hi Bernard,
ReplyDeleteSometimes when I feel like getting sick, I would click on zorro zorro unmasked in my bookmarks. Its really stressful to learn about all the thieving, cheating, lying etc etc by people who hold themselves out as our country's leaders. Now this latest KPTC and the tax holiday thingy (which is a very old trick in the book) is revolting.
Really, I just don't understand why there are people still willing to vote for BN. I think the proverbial donkey is better than any BN politician. At least the donkey is just being an animal. The BN politicians are NOT animals, they are some twisted wretched creatures which crawled out of your worst nightmares.
Peace to you bro.

Yeah, we are becoming the Africa of Asia - dumping ground for all sorts of toxic projects the west, China and Australia will not touch with a 10-foot pole.
ReplyDeleteSoon, they'll set up phrmaceutical centres to test new drugs on Malaysians and animals befor deeming it safe for the rest of the world.
BUMNO/BN is sacricing our long term health and environmental safety for short-term cash and profits!

ReplyDeleteI read about the very high cancer rate for the surrounding plant area in taiwan sometime back. Who is going to pay for the medical care years down the road with the tax money stolen?

ReplyDeletePlease channel your 'sick' feeling into a positive energy to galvanize young Malaysians to reject BN.
Please join the Angry Lobster movement at Pengerang to reject the pollutant of Rapid.
Najib does not know Altantuya and now Shafie does not know Zahida. Guess who is the lawyer for both Muhammad Shafee Abdullah. A real specialist in.... leave it to your guess.
ReplyDeleteMCA is critising DAP for being undemocratic by not allowing leaders to air their disagreement.
ReplyDeleteNow the MCA disciplinary committee has suspended the Indera Mahkota youth chief David Choi for 3 years just because he participated in the Bersih rally. What a bunch of clowns in MCA?
