Hundreds of residents from Bandar Mahkota Cheras courageously broke the line formed by the FRU and marched to the Grand Saga Cheras 11th Mile Toll Plazas

this morning to stage a protest against the toll hike as well as to mark their strong objection to the barricade which blocked the access road from the township since October last year. A few hundred residents from BMC and Bandar Sg Long were unable to show up because they were blocked by the police at the road block. The police road block has caused a massive traffic jam at the only outlet from BSL/BMC at the 12th mile this morning.

ABOVE & BELOW: The feared FRU men & SB men were everywhere watching for untoward actions by the protesters

About 100 policemen(incl FRU) were there to control the crowd. I was informed by some residents that ASP Fauzi again showed his rudeness by holding on to his gun (he did not raise the gun though) besides shouting abusive words at Tan Boon Wah.

ABOVE: The DAP leader (Left) Lim Kit Siang was present at the protest with Teresa Kok and Teng Chang Khim.

Opposition Leader Lim Kit Siang was there to lend his support and solidarity to the residents of BMC. In his speech, he expressed his unhappiness with the Works Minister who promised him to resolve the barricade problem during the October Parliamentary session. Apparently, Samy has done nothing to honour his promise for the past two months. He can’t even fix a joint meeting for Grand Saga, the Lion Group, LLM and the BMC-OARAC.

The speeches started rolling all in anger towards this unjust and "open extotion" and easy way of making money.
He also criticised the PM for allowing the drastic toll hike and did nothing on the barricade issue to help the people of BMC.

He said he will seek a meeting with the PM to discuss about the toll hike and other burning issues concerning the welfare, civil rights and the interest of the rakyat.

ABOVE: Fong Kui Lun speaking and BELOW: Ronnie Liu, the advisor to the BMC-OARAC Committee

Other DAP leaders who took turn to address the protestors were Tan Kok Wai, Fong Kui Lun, Teresa Kok and Teng Chang Khim. They have criticised the Umno-led BN Government for not taking care of the interest of the rakyat. Lee Cheng Jin of Parti Keadilan Rakyat has also given a short speech in support of the BMC residents.

Earlier, the Chairman of BMC- OARAC Tan Boon Hwa and I (as the advisor to the action committee) told the residents that the objective of today’s outing was two-pronged: to demand for the access to be opened immediately and to say NO to the drastic toll hike.

The director of operation today was Ean Yong Hian Wah, the Selangor DAP Secretary. Other Selangor leaders who were there this morning include Yap Lum Ching, Peter Tan, Lau Weng San, Kuan Perk Siong, Lee Kee Hiong, Edward Pang, Lim Lip Eng, Lee Ah Seng, Chew Ah Peng, Lim Teong Heng, Francis Chang, Thomas Goh, T.Kannan and DAPSY leaders Lee Ying Har and Wong Leng Hang.

On behalf of the BMC-OARAC, I negotiated for an hour for the protest with the Kajang police.

We ended today’s action with a symbolic throwing of bad eggs at the “toll gate” (with carricatures of Samy Vellu and AAB pasted on the mock-up ”toll gate “).

Toll Hike On Five Highways Effective 6 Am Monday

MELAKA, Dec 31 (Bernama) -- The announced toll increase of between 20 and 60 per cent on five highways in the Klang Valley will start at 6 am Monday, Works Minister Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said. There is no change in the rate of increase that was announced on Dec 14, he told reporters after presenting aid to 550 flood victims in Bukit Beruang near here. The toll hike of between 30 sen and RM1 will be for the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP), Shah Alam Highway, Cheras-Kajang Highway, KL-Karak Highway and Guthrie Corridor Expressway.

Samy Vellu said he hoped that the reduction in road tax for vehicles announced by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak yesterday would ease the burden of motorists a little. "For a long time, the people have been asking why the road tax cannot be reduced when they were already paying toll, and the government has acted (to reduce the road tax)," he added.

Asked about the DAP challenge to the government to buy over the five toll concessionnaires, Samy Vellu said: "We can buy them, let them (DAP) pay. They talk to seek popularity. The opposition politics is always to seek popularity without considering the nation's interest????????????????????????." Samy Vellu said the government had the responsibility to develop the country, including providing first-class???????????????? infrastructure, to draw more investors

Merdeka REVIEW Report in Chinese::冲 破警察封锁线越过收费站 五百人兴致高昂抗议路费涨 ■日期／Dec 31, 2006 ■时间／01:58:39 pm■新闻／家国风云 ■作者／本刊庄迪澎 【本刊庄迪澎撰述】今年是2007年的除夕，雪兰莪州蕉赖皇冠镇、双溪龙镇及无拉港周边住宅区五百多个居民上午举行了一场别开生面的“迎新”活动，从皇冠 镇衔接蕉赖－加影大道的路口出发，三番四次冲破警方封锁线，浩浩荡荡步行前往11英里收费站，举行集会抗议大道公司围堵皇冠镇路口及过路费高涨50%。这 场抗议活动是“皇冠镇开路行动委员会”号召的第15场集会，以抗议蕉赖－加影大道的特许经营公司Grand Saga私人有限公司在皇冠镇路口建路墩封路，以致居民无法从此路口衔接蕉赖－加影大道，必须沿着双溪龙镇（Sungai Long）公路绕道大约七公里路途，从蕉赖12英里进入蕉赖－加影大道，并缴付两次过路费。由于适逢工程部长三美威鲁在12月14日宣布巴生谷五条高速公 路的过路费将从明年一月一日起涨价，“皇冠镇开路行动委员会”在12月17日举行的第14场集会也同时抗议三美威鲁仍未解决“路墩”问题，又已宣布大道过 路费涨价，令当地居民的窘境雪上加霜。【点击：过路费高涨出入被迫付两次 蕉赖皇冠镇居民第14次怒吼】蕉赖－加影大道有两个收费站（11英里及9英里），从明天开始，11英里收费站的过路费将从马币60分调高至90分，而9英 里收费站的过路费则从马币70分调高至一元，涨幅分别是50%及43%。易言之，皇冠镇居民前往蕉赖市区一趟，就得缴付马币1元90分，来回两趟合计马币 3元80分。【点击：五大道过路费高涨20%-60% 下次涨价前政府仍要赔25亿】警方设路障 阻公众赴会今早的集会在上午十时举行，附近住宅区的居民陆续抵达皇冠镇已被路墩围堵的路口集合时，有超过50名荷枪实弹的军装警员、警官及便衣政治部警员 在场恭候。后来，警力陆续增加至百人左右。附近居民向《独立新闻在线》透露，昨晚十时许，他路经当地时已看到有警察在现场研究部署警力。今天早上大约八时 左右，警察已经抵达现场驻守，而且在双溪龙镇通往皇冠镇的路上设路障，试图阻止公众前来集合地点。据了解，虽然一些公众看到荷枪实弹的警员设路障时中途折 返，但是仍有超过五百人参与这场抗议活动。上午10时30分左右，“皇冠镇开路行动委员会”主席陈文华召集散布各角落的公众集合，由民主行动党吉隆坡士布 爹区国会议员郭素沁领队，步行朝前往加影方向的11英里收费站，以便和在那里等候的其他居民及民主行动党议员们会合。参与抗议集会的居民，男女老幼都有， 跟着郭素沁越过路墩步向蕉赖－加影大道；此时，带着防暴装备的警员试图阻挡大伙前进，但由于人潮比警员多，警员兼顾不暇，群众轻易地兵分几路步入大道上。 警员高度克制 群众兴致高昂尽管警员数度尝试在大道上以人墙阻挡群众继续朝收费站方向挺进，但都功亏一篑；兴致高昂的群众一边高喊“Go! Go! Go”，一边加快脚步奔向收费站方向，结果形成警员遭群众抛在后头的景像。由于警员们保持高度克制，没有以武力强行阻挡群众去路，不消十分钟的时间，群众 已鱼贯抵达收费站，并浩浩荡荡横跨收费站所有车道，以在收费站办事处外举行抗议集会。在横跨收费站之际，国会在野党领袖林吉祥抵步，一些群众一度停下脚步 鼓掌欢迎。值得一提的是，群众横跨收费站时，警员也负起维持群众交通安全的工作，而停车缴费的车主也纷纷按车笛支持群众们。越过收费站的群众集聚在收费站 办事处大楼外，盘踞往蕉赖市区方向的第一条车道。 “皇冠镇开路行动委员会”顾问刘天球及主席陈文华先后扼要介绍集会的目的是抗议大道公司设路墩封路及抗议大道明天开始起价后，民主行动党多名党要，包括蕉 赖区国会议员陈国伟、士布爹区国会议员郭素沁、武吉敏登区国会议员方贵伦、雪兰莪州双溪槟榔区州议员邓章钦、人民公正党乌鲁冷岳区副主席李成金，以及国会 在野党领袖林吉祥先后演讲，非议国阵政府不理民怨，任由大道公司刮取民脂民膏。向首相工程部长丢鸡蛋他们演讲期间，路过的车辆仍然不时按笛支持，群众们的 仍然兴致高昂，并且不时高喊“开路！开路！”及鼓掌附和演讲者的言论。虽然大批警员仍在现场驻守，但没有像12月17日的第14场集会那样阻止议员们继续 演讲。在演讲中途，集会工作人员已搬来一个贴着首相阿都拉巴达威及工程部长三美威鲁人头肖像、象征收费站的四面立体塑料箱，让公众向着阿都拉及三美威鲁的 肖像丢鸡蛋，抗议他们加重百姓的负担。演讲完毕后，多名群众迫不及待地拿起鸡蛋，轮流向阿都拉和三美威鲁的肖像抛掷；一些愤怒的群众甚至拿起自己的鞋子， 拍打阿都拉和三美威鲁的肖像。丢完鸡蛋后，已是上午11时35分左右，刘天球向群众宣布集会结束；群众们虽然还是兴致高昂，但也井然有序地沿着朝蕉赖市区 方向的车道走回皇冠镇路口，一些人高举海报、一些人拉起布条，一路高喊“开路！开路！”回程。中午12时左右，抵达皇冠镇路口的一些人意犹未尽，仍高喊口 号；不过，加影警区公共秩序组主任再努丁好言劝阻，笑着对他们说：“请让警员们回家过哈芝节”。堪称尽兴而归的群众和再努丁轻松对话后，很快就散开了。 降低路税不足抵销狂涨过路费 陈国伟批评政府用骗局熄民怨
