Universiti Malaya kena lelong....

GUOCOLAND (Malaysia) Bhd, a property developer controlled by Tan Sri Quek Leng Chan, has made a bid to relocate University Malaya from Petaling Jaya to Sepang, sources said yesterday.As part of the plan, GuocoLand will then own the land in Petaling Jaya and develop it into a commercial and residential township. The proposal is based on a private finance initiative.A company source said such a development is estimated to have a gross development value of RM10 billion.GuocoLand officials declined to comment on the plan.If the bid is approved, the development in Petaling Jaya will complement GuocoLand's planned RM1.2 billion Damansara City development project.GuocoLand is registered in Singapore, the property developer recently announced plans to invest US$5.4 billion in China -Business Times, June 12 2007

Laporan berita Business Times di atas,seandainya benar,bererti Universiti Malaya yang penuh dengan sejarah itu akan berpindah ke tapak baru di Sepang. Aku pun hairan kenapa gomen kita ini tak habis-habis nak gadai atau jual tanah-tanah utama kepada syarikat-syarikat Singapura? Aku nak tanya Pat Lah,bekas graduan Univeristi Malaya,gomen hang tak sedaqkah konspirasi ini yang mungkin berpunca dari orang2 Tingkat 4 di Jabatan you(Jabatan Perdana Menteri)?

Motif sebenar transaksi ini boleh kita lihat seperti mana yang dijelaskan oleh Dr.Syed Husin Ali. Katanya, “Apparently, the plan aims to kill two birds with one stone, one, to maximise profits from the development of the present university site and, two, the sale of these bungalows and villas to university staff, which it would otherwise face great difficulty to dispose of.Presumably, it hopes to sell these to the university staff, if it succeeds in relocating UM.”

Universiti Malaya sudah lama wujud sebagai gedung ilmu ulung yang penuh dengan sejarah dan tradisi keilmuannya. Ramai pemimpin2 negara adalah anak didik universiti tersebut dan jika benar mereka(gomen) restu perpindahan ini bererti mereka(gomen) rela korbankan maruah negara demi mengaut keuntungan berjuta-juta.

Aku 104% TIDAK sokong dengan langkah itu.....bak kata Dr.Syed Hussein lagi,“Universiti Malaya and Lembah Pantai are one, the same and inseparable. There should be no attempt to separate them, especially if entirely for commercial purposes that will enrich only a handful few who are already extremely rich.”

cheers.
