Manusia diciptakan untuk menjadi khalifah di Bumi.
Jumlah penduduk Indonesia yang beragama Islam adalah kurang lebih 80%.
Jadi permasalahan Kemiskinan, Kerawanan Sosial, Pengangguran, Kriminal, Kesehatan, Pendidikan, SDM dan lainnya yang terjadi di Indonesia adalah orang yang beragama Islam.
Bicara tentang pemimpin, dalam arti pemimpin masyarakat heterogen, Agama Islam mensyaratkan bahwa pemimpin haruslah yang Islam.
Islam Rahmatan Lil 'Alamin.
Islam adalah universal.
Islam mengurusi banyak hal kehidupan manusia
Baik hubungan dengan Alloh, dengan manusia, dengan lingkungan sekitar kita, dengan alam semesta hingga kehidupan setelah manusia meninggal.
Oleh sebab itu, pemimpin harus bertanggung jawab memastikan perkara agama dan akhlak untuk keselamatan bersama di dunia dan akhirat.
Setiap pemimpin di akhirat kelak akan ditanya oleh Alloh Ta’ala setiap orang di bawah pimpinannya, tidak terkecuali pemimpin besar atau kecil, umum atau khusus.
Mereka tidak boleh memikirkan bidangnya saja.
Dalam ajaran Islam, masalah agama terutama di sudut fardhu ain mesti diketahui, dihayati dan diamalkan oleh setiap mukallaf (muslim, baligh, berakal yang telah dapat dikenai hukum).
Insya Alloh, 09 April 2009, bangsa Indonesia akan mengadakan Pemilihan Umum untuk memilih pemimpin bangsa sekaligus wakil rakyat, yaitu:
1. Pemimpin sekaligus wakil rakyat di DPRD tingkat 2 (Kabupaten atau Kota Madya)
2. Pemimpin sekaligus wakil rakyat di DPRD tingkat 1 (Provinsi)
3. Pemimpin sekaligus wakil rakyat di DPR RI (Pusat)
4. Pemimpin sekaligus wakil rakyat di DPD
Sebenarnya mereka dipilih rakyat Indonesia untuk menjadi wakil rakyat di pemerintahan Indonesia.
Jangan terlupakan, yaitu :
Pengalaman ketika RUU Sisdiknas tanggal 30 Maret 2003.
Kontraversi yang diangkat oleh beberapa anggota DPR RI adalah RUU Sisdiknas pasal 12 yang berbunyi,
"Setiap peserta didik pada setiap satuan pendidikan berhak mendapatkan agama sesuai dengan agama yang dianutnya dan diajarkan oleh pendidik yang seagama".
Apa yang salah tentang pasal 12 ini?
Tidak ada yang dirugikan, tapi lagi-lagi beberapa wakil rakyat yang ada di DPR RI tidak setuju yaitu dengan beraneka alasan dan argumentasi untuk menolaknya.
Alhamdulillah, dengan perjuangan, persatuan dan kekuatan umat Islam, UNDANG-UNDANG Nomor 20 Tahun 2003.
Tentang SISTEM PENDIDIKAN NASIONAL pada tanggal 8 Juli 2003 disyahkan oleh DPR RI dan ditandatangani oleh Presiden.
Pengalaman ketka RUU Anti Pornografi dan Pornoaksi yang bertujuan menata dan mengatur kegiatan pronografi dan moral manusia selalu terhambat menjadi Undang-undang oleh beberapa anggota wakil Rakyat di DPR RI.
Dan masih banyak lagi Undang-Undang dan Peraturan Pemerintah yang mendorong bangsa Indonesia menuju kebaikan terhambat oleh ulah beberapa wakil rakyat di DPR RI.
Oleh sebab itu, sebagai warga negara Indonesia yang baik, Jika kita sudah mempunyai KTP, apalagi KTP-nya tertulis beragama Islam maka kita berkewajiban untuk mengikuti Pemilihan Umum yang akan memilih wakil rakyat Indonesia.
Silahkan memilih partai yang sesuai dengan pilihannya.
Partai boleh beda, tapi calon pemimpin yang akan di contreng harus seiman atau se-aqidah Islam.
Jangan pilih partainya saja, karena nantinya pemilih tidak tahu siapa yang akan menjadi pemimpin.
Tapi pilihlah partai yang diinginkan (sehati) dan orang yang akan dipilih menjadi pemimpin.
Jangan GOLPUT. Karena akan mengakibatkan pemimpin kita tidak jelas.
TIP CONTRENG PEMIMPIN (Khusus yang KTP nya beragama Islam):
1. Pilihlah (Contreng) Calon Pemimpin yang beragama ISLAM dan Amanah.
2. Pilihlah (Contreng) Calon Pemimpin yang beragama Islam.
3. Yang lebih aman adalah pilih partai yang berazaskan Islam.
Bila belum tahu calon pemimpin yang akan dipilih (contreng) maka :
1. Cari daftar nama calon pemimpin yang-ber-inisial (nama panggilan) Islam
(Misal: Muhammad, Ahmad, Akbar dll)
2. Tanyakan ke orang lain / tetangga, Siapa calon pemimpin yang beragama Islam?
Semoga bermanfaat.
Sampaikanlah email ini kepada teman, saudara, orang tua yang sudah mempunyai KTP, khususnya KTP yang tertulis beragama Islam.
Kita harus memilih pemimpin yang beragama Islam.
Yaitu sesuai dengan aqidah kita.
Partainya silahkan berbeda sesuai yang diinginkan.
Tapi nama calon pemimpin yang di contreng adalah orang yang se-aqidah.
Sehingga negara Indonesia mempunyai undang-undang dan peraturan pemerintah sesuai dengan penduduk Indonesia yang beragama 80% Islam.
Sekali lagi " Islam Rahmatan Lil 'Alamin"

Ello, just to give some views regarding the PJ project. Well, from environmental poitn of view this project seem to have an impat to the surrounding area particularly the swamp. However, this not might be reason to avoid such important project to many individual such bussiness man and to those who still looking for house. So this project seem to give an oppurtunity to them them to get what they dream. We all see the all project from a very close perspective and never try to understand the long term benefit that the project can give not only to us but maybe to our generation. furthermore, If we always considere the small animals before conducting a project, I think we can accomodate a thousand pf people who have born every day.
thanks..see next time | |

I don't know that Putrajaya is good or not. But i think putrajaya is good for Kota Kinabalu Cities but not good for the environment.
Putrajaya dicrease Kota Kinabalu cities traffic jam and over population.
But about the environment, i'm not agree about the Putrajaya.
"Maybe Putrajaya is good than that place become squatters" | |

BLOG 6
In my point of view, we cannot say that the nearby UMS Putrajaya Project is completely unfriendly environment. It is true that other’s opinion which they say that we had to sacrifice many of plant such as margrave forests (bakau, kurup etc), herb like “tongkat ali, the “pasak bumi”, tibulus and etc, had been cut off. But, every development need that sacrifice. We need to take an action as we had discussed it in our class. What I saw is that the Putrajaya Project can be a pinnacle of Sabah Government. There will be economic growth. It is not impossible if there will be investments for Kota Kinabalu because of it’s unique and hard structure. If we think there will be traffic jam in that area because of government administration replacement in that Putrajaya Mini, it actually something that is normal for a city. It’s just us who do not want to practice what the government had declare that is about to share our rehicle. | |

Assalamualaikum...
Back to the discusion,
I agree with other friends that the Putra Jaya next UMS is not environmental friendly. Why?..
Because in my observation, as student at UMS, we already know that the Putra Jaya next UMS have negative impact by the many cause such as lorry to bring material like sand, cement, metal, brick and other construction thing. Bulldozer, disnter and many instrument also used in this project. People in surroundings like students at UMS campus, Kingfisher and Delima village always distrubed by the sound from the project area. But we know development project in anyplace yeild many problem especially to society in surroundings. They are face to many aspect like congested, sound, dust and so on. But it is now and we us don't know what happen to the project in future when the construction project will finish. We just see the changes will be.. | |

Sorry to say that I’m not very agree with the Putrajaya project.
Why? Well, in my observation, I find out that they are many problem will happen in the future. However, at the beginning project, people also have to face some problems especial dust that comes from the project area caused air pollution. This is true, because most exotics flora have been cleared or destroy especially mangrove. There is no more supported root from green tree and almost 70% place used for build up the building as the new administration center of Sabah State Government. What will happen in the future? I think after this project completely finish, there will face problem like avoid natural disaster such as flash flood and landslide. Beside, heavy traffic jam will attact along Jalan Sulaiman. Meanwell, the building (Putrajaya) was built in glasses and it will increased the temperature the surrounding area (e.s Taman Kingfisher, UMS, Yayasan Sabah, DBP, 1 Borneo Hypermall and Alam Mesra).
As a conclusion, I'm sure to say that Putrajaya Project is not an environmental friendly project at all! TQ>.< | |

Base on my direct personal observation on the Putrajaya project related to environment friendly, this project is good for our government and socialist but not environment friendly. Cause, tree was chop down, heat temparature due to no plant around the area, air pollution make by the vehicle working their/dust everyway due to land area is dry, noisy due to work carry out. During the project in progress, they should watering the dry land to reduce the dust/air pollution, Due to the surronding area is UMS, they should consider to carry out their work at night (9.00pm to 6.00am). so that, noise will not disturb student during class time. And after the completion of the project, they should replant tree and flower, make it a “green garden” inside putrajaya, this will not only benefit government but also public environment to create a “win win” situation. | |

The Putrajaya project is one of the project were built to place government administration. The project was beginning since 2 or 3 year ago and now it 80% complete.
Look at the effect when the project was operated it’s give a negative impact to environment. This effect is more to physical environment and social-culture. The impact for physical environment like plant damage because of causeway. In social-culture impact is like air pollution fro he vehicle smoke and dusty from construction process. Besides, the safety issue is one of the impacts from the project. Because many five tan lorry use the road to go to the project.
Otherwise the Putrajaya project purpose is to be a government administration. But now it’s give many negative impact when was built. So this project is not give benefit to environment.

I THINK NOT TOO LATE FOR ME TO GIVE SOME IDEA IN THIS BLOG....sorry sir...
I agree with the other.. this project is not an "ENVIRONMENTALLY". Because they cutting down the mangrove forest near by. Then build the foreign sattelment there (PJ worker). Actually I think they should not cutting down the mangrove forest but use it as a dust controler. in other hand, letting the mangrove in their place will save this place from the land erossion. PJ project also face a spartial pressure.HOnestly state that Putra Jaya development project is not applying emviromental friendly development concept. A clear evident can be traced based on itas aspect of building construction. Apparently, it ia a combination of concretes andsolid glasses. In general, concrete substance for both buildings and asphalt road are highly heat-absorbent materials. Diuring daytime, the heat which is produced by the sun is then absorbed by the concretes. Is is then reflected to the sorrounding area by the reflective materials such as the fixed solid glasses on the vuilding. At the same time, the transparent glassesallow an impact of the greenhouse effect phenomenon. In addition, the roads asphalt substance will slowly release absorbed heat from the sun at the night time. | |

In my opinion, the PJ project in not an environmental friendly at all. This is because it took a large area of wetland area and cutting out the trees. This action can damage the soil structure and destroy the ecology around the area. The building was made from a lot of stone and glass material and this will affected the intensity of high temperature around the development area. The surround area which is affected by the high intensity of temperature must be UMS and Kingfisher residents. Stone and glass material reflect the sun radiance and spread it to the surround area. Other than that, this development which is beside of UMS can cause a traffic jam in the future. When the project is fully completed and begin it service as an administration centre, there will be a lot of car entering or exit from the building. By the way, trees plantation and landscaping can reduce the high temperature and avoid the erosion problem.on | |

In my opinion, the Putrajaya project is not environmental friendly. This is my some reasons.This project brings to big opening space for the development. The swamp land and mangroves was destroyed. The impact from this opening space is the extincted flora and fauna or biodiversity.This project cause the negative effects such as nise, smoke and dusk. The noise comes from lorry and others vechile which involved in this project. Beside that, the smoke and dusk can bring the negarive effect to the human health who stay around this area. Not only that, the temperature changing also was happened from the opening space. Traffict jam is the long term impack from this project especially during the office hour. | |

In my opinion, Putrajaya Project (next to UMS) actually is not environmental friendly. it is because, putrajaya project cause the environmental problem such as smoke and noise.
putrajaya project also use the big space and cause the flora and fauna.beside that, this project also cause the temperature changing around this area. this project also give the long impact to environment and human. | |

Hi..everybody…
About The Development As PUTRAJAYA next UMS like the United Sabah Islamic Organisation (USIA) and Sagajuta (Sabah) Sdn Bhd who built the Hypermall have a very big planning as we can see from UMS. As our information, 1 Borneo would be built on a 23.3-acre land owned by USIA and the cost was estimated at RM1 billion. The hypermall will have 1.5 million sq ft of retail space, two corporate towers, two service apartments, a private college and another block of office/shop lots and 3,500 parking lots.It will also have a hypermarket, handicraft and batik gallery, mega bookstore and music store, Auto City, dinning outlets, mega sport stores and specialty shops. Woww..very unique to hear that, right?? But..why all of us said ‘Don’t agree??’.Ya, I know..all the discussion it’s all about our opinion but if we think it very negative side..so all our opinion will negative but if we think it very sharp thinking..of course the development about Putrajaya was very friendly environment. Why I said like this?? Because the Putrajaya was built to attract the tourist from all countries. So, the economic will rise up very strong. From that, government will think how to improved our healthy environment like build some garden near Putrajaya or some company to arrange the environment ( with flora and fauna). Alah..let’s look this very simple situation ok…when UMS are around about development in 1994, maybe some constructor or EIA manager said that the development will attacked the healthy environment there. But what will the can say now when the UMS was built and have about thousand student, lecturer and so on?? Then, now UMS have some subject about EIA which will help to improve our environment. So…if the development are in negative side,we was think it as a negative reason but if we think with very gentlemen and sharp thinking as UMS student, we will agree about the development and of coz for a while maybe it destroyed many thing like grass, traffic jam, much of dust, noisy and so on but it will become successfully soon, if all the development are finish.
I am agree and give thanked with all the big planning and big thinking from our USIA deputy president Datuk Haji Ampong Puyong and Sagajuta managing director, Raymond Chan and also our Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Haji Aman, who signed the big and excellent project as PUTRAYAJA. That’s all…good luck to my entire friend and very big thank to our lecturer, En, Ramzah. U are very high thinking and best lecturer..thank u!!

The putrajaya project (next to ums) is not environment friendly because the project had been effect to the environment. This phenomenon is happened when the project is still accompany in working. I would like say that the project will produce an air pollution and noise pollution. Beside that this project also makes the rainforest destroyed by clearing surrounding which leads to global warming. The place were also construct by the squatter of workers which have no systematic channel for carrying the waste liquid. Its will expel a not good smell for the people pass in the highway. Lastly, I would like to say that this project is not environment friendly.

Hello all my my freinds,
In my opinion, i don't think that Putrajaya project is environmental friendly because;
1. The site of the project is swamp land. That means this Putrajaya project "killed" a lot of mangroves, also flora and fauna.
2. Dust problem can causes bad impact to people live around this project especially UMS student, Kingfisher's residents, and many more.
3. Traffic Jam. this is causes of dust too and lorry or other vehicles that use in this project can disturb driver. Because of that, driver didn't see the clear situation especially motorist. Accident just wait for them...
4. Noise besause of mechinery and lorry. Both of its can disturb our time especially the estetic value.
But.. that point is development effect, so just wait and see the changes will be..
ok, bye.... sayonara | |

The Putrajaya Project (next to UMS) is known as the Federal building and it consist of more than 25 Federal departments that going to be operated soon. From my observation, this project is environmental friendly. Although the project may caused many impact negative such as traffic flows, air pollution and dust pollution during and after the construction but there are some elements which we can consider the project as ‘environmental friendly’.
First, the building was built in glasses. This will save energy because the indoor activity only required minimum electric supply during sunny day because the sun is the best light supplier. However, building which build in glasses will contribute the greenhouse effect because glasses will reflect the sun ray and cause the temperature of the surrounding increased and become higher than the other areas. To solve this effect, the project was planned with good landscaping which surround the project areas. We can see that the building was build with two blocks which form a round open space in the middle of two blocks. The free space planted with many trees and flowers – the natural way to decrease the temperature. Seeing that the ‘environmental friendly’ concept was adapted in implementing the project.
Second, the Putrajaya Project’s location had already planned with consideration of any impact which may occur before, during and after the project. The main impact which affect human environment is traffic jams. It is because the entire government department at Kota Kinabalu will move into this area. This problem will become worse because it’s only having one main highway to Kota Kinabalu town center – Sulaman Road. Beside that, there are some others residential area and commercial project which still going into process such as Alam mesra Project, 1 Borneo Hyper mall and Kingfisher Residential Project. More over, the Putrajaya Project is located beside University Malaysia Sabah. The tendency of residential, commercial, educational and public services activities will increase the population at this area. Therefore, we can foretell that the increasing in population, vehicle and so on will cause serious traffic problem around this area. However, the Putrajaya Project still on process and traffic jam is one of the main impacts that some action should be taken soon. To solve this problem, there is another proposed project – road taking traffic round a congested area; an interception Sulaman Highway to Tuaran Bypass. If this project is approval, it will decrease the tendency of vehicle around the Putrajaya Project area.
As conclusion, the Putrajaya Project can be consider as ‘environmental friendly’ because it minimize the negative impacts which may occurred during any project such as air pollution, esthetical, dust pollution and so on. Beside that, the project implemented with planning which aim for creating an environmental friendly area such as landscaping and some consideration in building architecture and material. However, there’s still many challenges and problem which need to be consider and choosing appropriate method to undertake the negative effect of Putrajaya Project.

In my opinion, I believe that the project next UMS called Putrajaya Project is based on environmental-friendly terms. It is because, since they started the project, I see that they do some friendly-project concept such as they planted tree after they flattened the land. This concept is good because the tree will grow bigger when the project is finished and the tree also playing big roles such as cooling the environment. The company also doing some ‘tebatan’ such as building wall around it, so that people did not see the bad view and also people from outside will not enter it for safety. Even though the project gives some impact such as dust, open burning and so on, but I believe that every development project also produces this bad impact. But as I see and in my own observation, if I compare this project with the Alam Mesra in front UMS, then I can only say that the Alam Mesra is didn’t Mesra Alam at all depends on Putrajaya project.

In my opinion, the Putrajaya project next ums is “environmental –friendly’ project. This is because in my observation, I saw the company already planted some tree and beautiful flower around the building. This will make the place more comfortable because the plant is use to cooling the environment. The Putrajaya project did not cut all the trees, but they also plant trees after they flatten the hill so that the tree will be bigger after the project is finished and before the construction begins, the company build a wall so that people will not see the bad view inside and also people will not entering it.
Even though the project gives such a bad impact from the beginning such as the air is polluted with a smoke from the machine and the dust from the particle of land, but is just happens for a short time. If we compare this project with the Alam Mesra project, I will say that the Alam Mesra project give more bad impact because they did not planted any trees but they cut the entire mangrove until the river is seen from the road.
In my conclusion, once again I want to say that every development project will give the positive and negative impact. We the human is the one who responsibility for the bad effect that we made to the environment. We have to think more than twice if we want to make a big development project, because the environment that we create than will give us a difference life then.

Hi…friends!
Since independence 48 year ago, Malaysia has progressed from primarily rural society to a modern, progressive country. Recently, developments become progressive. Many projects were built. For example Putrajaya Project next to UMS. As we know, before this project were built this area is full with the mangrove.
My opinion, this project not become environmental-friendly fully. It’s because this project destroyed the mangrove swamps area. Mangrove swamps are feeding and nursery grounds for fisheries, and are the habitats of several of our important commercial fishes and shrimps that are important source of protein for the nation. This habitat requires protection for ensuring food security. Mangrove swamps also interesting to buffer against the damage wrought by winds and water during storms, hurricanes and others. This area cannot be created with land building. These projects more become advantage to human. This advantage is providing job opportunities especially to the resident.

Hi Guyzzz…
Every development caused impact either positive or negative. In my personal observation, Putrajaya project will bring positive impact for human especially those who live besides it. In short term, it brings a lot of job opportunities. But, for the environment, it not friendly at all. For example, during the project activities, we can see and feel the air pollution and the students from the School Of Social Science are the first community who get the impact. Besides that, Putrajaya project also bring development along KK-Sulaman raod. One example is alam mesra project which provide accommodation to the workers and staff and this project destroyed the mangrove area as we know that mangrove are very important in many way. As for me, Putrajaya project is not ‘environmental friendly’ at all.
Peace….. (*_*)

Haii everyone....
PJ next to UMS?.. in my opinions, yes I agree with bernedette. PJ building look so unique, Solute to PJ desinger. I think they bring this building design far from the middle east to KK. How great..and they says, soon PJ will be a home of more than 25 department,it will known as Federal Administratation Centre of Sabah Goverment. And soon this area (Sapanggar bay along sulaman highway)will be a center for any business.
How ever, for my personal observation, I agree with the other.. this project is not an "environmental friendly". Because they cutting down the mangrove forest near by. Then build the foreign sattelment there (PJ worker). Actually I think they should not cutting down the mangrove forest but use it as a dust controler. in other hand, letting the mangrove in their place will save this place from the land erossion. PJ project also face a spartial pressure.See it built near to UMS, all machines and vehicles (lorry) at Putrajaya construction site contributes to noise pollution and may causes stress and less concentret to student and lecturer in SPPS and SSS (two UMS school near this project). Also dust pollution from this project causes healty problem the people site near this project especially UMS student.
Let we look to the future, when this project finish. Here will have a trafic problem. Also the worker from this project will compete with local people to get a job. The number of foreign worker causes unsafe environment to this area. Im not say that the foreign worker a bad but as we know the news last time there was a crime near PJ project.
we can't say that we don't need development and any building but any project must plan to build as environmental friendly mean that the project will balance in physically and human aspect. So let we think about it..........

Why must Putrajaya Project!!!!!
I dont agree with that project. Why??? It will produce too many pollution. Such as...noise pollution, Dust cause, and so on. this ony spatial impact. maybe, this area will be have a traffic jam problem. i think all of us can think that this project have so many negative impact. and i agree with other student that detailing their comment in this blog. So, thank coz loving ouir world.............mupuk aku wai.... | |

Based on My opinion, the building of Putrajaya isn’t really “Nature Friendly” because during the development itself, it already brings out negative impact such as dust pollution. This is because the Lorries which carry ground/soil to that area didn’t use canvas cover at the back of the Lorries to avoid dust from spreading around. Even insulation steps taken to decrease the dust such as planting trees in compact way, fence of trees, leafy trees as detection of dust wasn’t really applied fully by the developer in order to reduce pollution effect.
Other than that in the future the Putrajaya project seems to contribute towards traffic jam around UMS heading to KK. The development of it in that location will only brings out rapid development on the area around it.

“Purely based on your direct personal observation, give your judgement on how 'environmental-friendly' the project is. Support your case with specific examples. You are allowed to comment more than once, but each comment should not exceed 100 words”
Actually, decrease of environmental quality related close with development. When the development is done, wheter development of land for housing, industrial or agriculture, this is sure the impact of invironment worst. For example, Puterajaya is not except from receiving like that impact. Have we realise, development is very important input to increase qulity human life. Without development, we can’t become develop. But, by the development we need to sacrifice physical environment. But, in the same time, development also has saved humans’ environment. Do you want to life in crowded in the future? Of course you not!!!. So, Puterajaya project was seen as a long term alternative in efforts to reduce the crowdness of the city of Kota Kinabalu, even the development sacrifice a litle physical environment for human peace life.

In my opinion, PutraJaya Project (Next to UMS) is not 'environmental-friendly' at all. This is because, the project has a lot of negative problems to our environment. There are some aspect can be write to prove why the PutraJaya Project is not 'environmental-friendly'. First, Lorries that get in and out from the project area make the road surface nearby covered with sand or soil (dust pollution). In fact, the traffic jam in this place will getting seriously. Second, the negative effects that will came out is include the air pollution, water pollution, sound pollution, and other social problem when, during and after the PutraJaya Project (next to UMS). In addition, all the worker at Putrajaya project should be cleaned up along the highway and make Suring whole of the plant that gets water enough. Many negative impact that happen currently project and post-project. As a conclusion, the Putrajaya Project is not environmental friendly at all. | |

Purely based on your direct personal observation, give your judgement on how 'environmental-friendly' the project is. Support your case with specific examples. You are allowed to comment more than once, but each comment should not exceed 100 words.
In my opinion, the Puterajaya project is not environment friendly, especially when project is in pra-construction. This is because before this project is implemented, the authority of EIA surveying of those existing conditions and attitudes considered relevant to the project site.
However, the problem is, before the PJ project site was the site of squatters. Indirectly, this site of course has been explored as early as at pra-project stage that is by the settlement of squatters.
During the project is on work, we can see that the PJ project will contribute to development but not environment aspect. Firstly, it causes the noise pollution mainly to SSS and SPPS. Second, it causes dust. Third, criminal can occur. Sometimes the foreign workers from PJ construction come to SSS to use the toilets.
Moreover, as we can see, there are still efforts to ‘tanam semula’ the plants that have been cut down during the pra-construction of the project. For instance, ‘tanam semula’ flowers and trees and also make the building look more beautiful.
There were among the prevention steps that have been taken to conserve environment. Therefore, when the building is finish constructed, the plants also finished being planted.
In the future, I also think this area will face flooding because the road in front is ‘ditambak’. When excessive runoff occurred and the minima planted can’t observe this water and the water will go to river and this will raise the risk of flooding. The low portion of KK-Sulaman area and its surrounding is constantly subjected to flood.
I agree with Stanley-- to minimize the dust problem I suggest they the contractor took alternative action (eg; spraying water - wash the dirt on the road) and also with Bernadette---Being the administration centre for the government, it should support the theme of Kota Kinabalu City as Tropical Rainforest City. So, they should plant trees and create a tropical landscape. A tropical landscape can make the place more environmental-friendly.
To conclude with, this project is not fully environmental friendly project but according to the situation now, this project has pictured that it is not an environment friendly project because the environment has been ruined just before this project is implemented.

based on my direct personal observation, the PJ project is not env friendly. the effect actually can be explain with 3 aspect which is including before, during & after the project. but, to describe my point here, i want to choose only one aspect which happen during the project. air pollution & dust problem are the two impact caused by the construction xtvt. dust come from the heavy vihicles such as lorries when they bring along the soil & rock. this bad view always happen around 9-11am in the morning & 1-4 pm in the evening. so, people around there such ums student at sst can't get fresh air compare to the situation before the project was been there.
beside that, i assume that PJ project is not env friendly because the project can impose negative impact to the biodiversity. before the project, we can see the place have many kind of flora & fauna. such as herbal plant (tongkat ali) mangroove & birds like kingfisher. but then, in order to make a new development there all of these exotic biodiversities were destroyed.

In my opinion, mini Putera Jaya project (next to UMS) is not so ‘environmental friendly’. I say so because from my personal observation the project brings out negative effect. For example negative effect in short time term is dust and making much noise. For long time term the project can cause traffic jam and increase temperature. Besides that, the project is near from School of Science Social, its can give effect for lecturers and students such as stress and noise. | |

In my opinion, Putrajaya project is not friendly with our environmental. It is because when we look development for Putrajaya project it’s not responsibility with our environment expecially mangrove area and lowland forest. We as now, this area have many biodiversity species before cutting and destroy for development Putrajaya project. This area is a prime forest because no something development or any activity on this area. So, prime forest have many billion species before the Putrajaya project developed. Expecially, into the mangrove area have many different species flora and fauna. For example, the flora species like as bakau kurap (Rhizophore mucronata), Bangkita (Rhizophore apiculata) dan Tengar (ceriop tagah). And then the fauna species like as proboscis and macaque monkeys, flying foxes, bats, sharks, monitor lizards, barracuda and plethora of birds. However, when the Putrajaya project developed, many mangrove and lowland forest destroy. It’s will be infected with our environmental over the area like as destroy and extinct many species biodiversity, erosion from land disinterred and raised road across low or wet ground, air pollution from dust, sand and land by construction area, water pollution from effluence by machinery like as petrol and methane, many pig iron and board this construction area and noise pollution from lorry, construction instrument like as scroll machinery and others. It’s overall give many problem with our environmental. | |

About my opinian Putrajaya Project (next to UMS) is not environmental-friendly enough in some aspects: .
1) the transparent glasses allow an impact of the greenhouse effect phenomeno
2) Traffic congestion is an increasing problem along Jalan Sulaman. Rush-hour traffic patterns will happened every morning at 7.30-8.30 am and evening at 5-6pm. Traffic became heavy in all directions and often moves at a snail’s pace, both to and from KK especially when they are passing the Kingfisher areas. this cause many problem...
3)the noise pollution is one more problem we can see and hear from PutraJaya machinery, trucks, and construction equipmen
. during the project has been doing, there's a lot of noise come and it will cause pressure to the student who are studying especially student from SPPS and SPS....
4)many of plant such as mangrove forests (bakau kurup, api-api and etc), had been cut off.so, this make many spesies lost their habitat...
i thinks this situasion show to we that this projek is not use 'environment friendly'

From my point of view, the mini putrajaya project which is next to ums is not environmentally frienly. this is because the projrct it did not care about the covering crop and location aspect. The green tree and grass plantation should be done before preceding each project. For instance let us take State Library we can see beautiful landscape next to it. There are big trees and many plants planted. These surrounding surely give us peaceful view rather than seeing all the concrete. But refer to Putrajaya Project the building was built in glasses. So, it surely will bring the phenomenon of greenhouse effect and the glasses will reflect the sun ray, then it passes through the atmosphere directly. In addition, the roads asphalt substance will slowly release absorbed heat from the sun at the night time. Beside that the putrajaya project only can see concrete buildings that had been built in an orderly way, but there is no ,tree and flower or green grasses planted around the project area. Since the nature environmental was replaced by concrete building and glass building, so the existing earth lined access road at construction site will be laying with one layer of surface dressing. In conclusion, obviously the putrajaya project next to UMS is not an environmental-friendly but pressure environmental. | |

In my opinion, Putrajaya Project (next to UMS) is not environmental friendly because it will result many negative effect to environment. For example, during construction, air pollution will happen. The dust from vehicles such as lorry due to the dirt, especially on the afternoon. This dust problem is dangerous to the road user and residents around there. After the construction project fully finish, air still pollute by vehicles which is cause of carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide.
Putrajaya is a mesa capacity project which locating Federal Administration centre of Sabah Government and more than 25 Federal departments that going to be operated soon. The number of workers and public who have vehicles going to Putrajaya will grow up. So there will be a heavy traffic jam around Sulaman Bypass Road, especially at peak hour (7-9 am and 4.30-5.30pm). This situation is not only will consequence to a heavy traffic jam, but also noise contamination and security problem to the road user and residents around there.

Assalamualaikum and gud day to all,
In my opinion, the mini putrajaya project is not environmentally friendly. The point to support my statement are during the project, they change the physical view of the site. Before this, the scenery of that place is beautiful with lots of natural resources such as tongkat ali, pasak bumi and so on. But it all turn up into something else which contaminating the place with concrete building where the design is not totally from our root. The esthetic value of the place had been changed. | |

Assalamualaikum n a very gud day 2 all,
From my point of view, the mini putrajaya project which is next to ums is not environmentally friendly. This is due to the fact that the building will consist 25 over government departments and plus the workers for each department which are countless, will cause total jam along this area. Each worker averagely had their own car to go to work and just imagines the mess it will cause! During peak hours from 7.00-9.00 am and in the evening from 4.00 to 7.00pm, people who came from KK and from mini-putra jaya to KK. All those workers are not from the surrounding areas but probably far from Papar or even to Beaufort. So the coverage of jam will be much far. Plus, the psychology of the worker will be affected because of long hours drive to go to work and came back from work. It will affect their performance in doing their job well, tired and so on.

‘Honesty is the best policy’, but I don’t think so that all of the contractors or the owner of the project used this policy to make their business including in this Putra Jaya project case. Every project, money is the important and their first aim. Why do they still cutting the trees, and change our pure environment if this project really ‘environment-friendly’. Pollutions, and other situations can proved that any project which need to change the environment, always give an impact either positive or negative. What the important thing to remember is to get one thing, we need to sacrifice one thing. At least, what can we do is just try the best to realize the sustainable development and do something to make any project really ‘environment-friendly’. | |

My opinion says that ‘Alam Mesra’ project yields more negative effect. Undesirable outcomes cover all aspect that is before, during and after the project. Generally, the most obvious effect is the destruction of mangrove ecosystem. Mangrove consists of plants that can prevent erosion from the wave, can, act as rubbish filter and as habitat for aquatic lives. Therefore, the implementation of ‘Alam Mesra’ project will cause destruction of mangrove that will consequently case the erosion and depletion of aquatic lives such as prawns and fishes that reside in that area.
Apart from that, this will also lead to many type of pollution which include also of air pollution. This is because when the project is completed, there will be an increase in the number of car that inevitably will emit undesirable gases to the environment. The next type pollution, sound pollution also can present as another complication of the project. Water pollution also presents with other types of pollution. Mangrove clearing will cause erosion that will flow into the river when there is rain. Therefore looking at the negative effects as mentioned above, more considerations and research should be done before implementing such project.

According to Rozalli Hashim (2005) development is to change and to develop for a better life. Nowadays, we can see many development has been done surround UMS-Sulaman Bypas. Even though, the question here is isn't this development promises walfare to the society?
In my opinion, The Putra-Jaya project (next to UMS) is not an environmental friendly development. It is because, there are a lot of impact from the developing.
The most apperenctly problem we can see is dust. Duing at the project time, dust fly every which way surround the place. And it can make the Social Science School (SSS) also get the impact from it. The dust also can trouble people especially the student who are pass through the road.
Beside that, the noise pollution is one more problem we can see. during the project has been doing, there's a lot of noise come and it will cause pressure to the student who are studying. There also another aspect from Putra Jaya project is security. The worker will endanger the student who are pass through the road. And sometimes the road will jam because of the lorries.
As a conclusion, i am hoping that the consultant will assume this problem so it can be settle down. (",)......................... | |

According to my observation, PutraJaya Project (Next to UMS) is not 'environmental-friendly' at all. This is because, it cause a lot of negative problems to our environment。
The moment you step out of the UMS and are on the road, you can actually see the air getting polluted in PutraJaya areas; a cloud of smoke from the vast open area on the construction sites, lorries and cars causing huge amounts of floating dust. It has caused a dramatic jump in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Air pollution, is an addition of harmful substances to the atmosphere resulting in damage to the environment, human health, and quality of life. It absolutely will makes people sick, breathing problems and promotes cancer in which they live such as PutraJaya, UMS, Indah Permai and Kingfisher areas. Some air pollutants return to Earth in the form of acid rain which corrode property, damage forests, and make streams along the Jalan Sulaman unsuitable for aquatics..It also caused thinning of the protective ozone layer of the atmosphere, which is leading to climate change. Besides, temperature will be increase and it referred to as global warming. This will keeps the Earth's surface in that areas became relatively warm.
Then, noise pollution also comes from PutraJaya machinery, trucks, and construction equipment. It can be dangerously loud and average noise levels above 85 decibels are regulated. Besides, nearby citizen can’t sleep well when there was a night shift in the construction.
Traffic congestion is an increasing problem along Jalan Sulaman. Rush-hour traffic patterns will happened every morning at 7.30-8.30 am and evening at 5-6pm. Traffic became heavy in all directions and often moves at a snail’s pace, both to and from KK especially when they are passing the Kingfisher areas.
That’s all from me.

However, there are tree plantations around the building area, perhaps to absorb dusts (to reduce air pollution). Although the trees are still very young and in small number, BUT it is just a beginning process. A landscape beautified with numerous of trees, green grasses and flowers, situated in the space provided between the two main buildings of Putrajaya Project produces a relaxable outlet area for present officers in that federal building besides to balance the cycle of gas (oxygen and carbon monoxide) or thermal (perhaps to prevent serious Green House Effect). So, we can’t simple deny (totally) that Putrajaya Project (next to UMS) is actually do make its effort to be environmental-friendly in some way.

Putrajaya Project (next to UMS) is not environmental-friendly enough in some aspects: Lorries that get in and out from the project area make the road surface nearby covered with sand or soil (dust pollution). Dust pollution becomes more seriously in the afternoon (because the hot and dry air condition is unable to absorb dust from outspreaded). Moreover, dust outspread in the windy day causes the problem of breathing, coughing and eyesight distance to the project’s workers also the road users especially motorcyclists ( student UMS). Then, all the concrete structures and the building with plenty of glasses will increase the temperature of the project site to become higher than other districts hence causing the Green House Effect.

In my opinion, the mini-putrajaya project (next to ums) is not enviroment friendly. It is beacuse, many of plant such as mangrove forests (bakau kurup, api-api and etc), herba like tongkat ali, pasak bumi, tibulus and etc. (important tree to medicine) had been cut off.
After the project is fully finished, of course we can get more amenity, but at the same time this mini-putrajaya can give negative impact to us. When the mini-putrajaya fully finished, the number of vehicles will definitely grow up beacuse many people go to putrajaya to do their business. It will make a traffic jam in this place, expecially time people go to work (7.00-9.00am), lunch time (12.00-1.30pm) and 4.30-6.00 when the people back from their work. | |

People always think that every development should destroy our environment. Yes, of course it is but not every development that has been planned need to destroy our environment because as for me if there is not development, people cannot develop themselves.
About the Putra Jaya project, although it has to be cleaned a lot of acre land but I think Putra Jaya using the ‘environmental-friendly’ concept as UMS does. I am saying that because, although they use a lot of concrete but they still having the plants surround it. It is important to make our environment to keep cool.
If the Putra Jaya didn't used the 'envronmental Friendly ', why should them plant the planting surround the building? And have that UMS is using the 'environmental friendly'?concept? As we can see, both are still trying to keep our environment to be alive.
Yes, of course someday , it will make the UMS-Sulaman Bypass as busy as the city but we cannot only blame to the Putra Jaya Project. There’s a lot of development that has been develop such as UMS, Alamesra, The HyperMall and lots that also can make the road busy. So, there are no development that didn’t make any places busy.
someday. there will be another, maybe a really big development at the UMS-Sulaman Bypass..how is it?Is it using the 'environmental Friendly'?Let us think about it..

Based on my observation I think that the putrajaya project is not environmental friendly.It is because the traffic jam in this place will getting serious. As we know,this putrajaya is the government administer central in sabah state. So, sure many people will do business at the putrajaya everday. It will make the traffic jam in this place. The traffic jam is very obvious on the morning around 6.30am-9.00am and on the evening around 4.30pm-6.00pm when the people back from their work.
Apart than that,surrounding in putrajaya project is not attractive. It is because there is not to make it greener. The temperature around the putrajaya project also will increase because there is not tree planted which make photosynthesis and prevent the dust.

Before I go further to comment whether the PutraJaya project is environmental-friendly or not, let’s investigate what actually the Project is. Putra Jaya development project next to UMS is a mega capacity project which locating Federal Administratation Centre of Sabah Government. It is known as the Federal building and it consists of more than 25 Federal departments that going to be operated soon. It is of no doubt the Putrajaya is an effort by the government to provide facility to the citizen of Sabah and in line with progress of upgrading Kota Kinabalu’s status as a city. However, ignoring how significant this project towards a modern and paradigmatic development to Sabah, is it environmentally-friendly is still remain an individual opinion.
In my opinion, Putrajaya Project (next to UMS) actually is not environmental friendly. That is because the construction of federal building will result several negative effects on environment. From what I’ve observed, air pollution and dust problem are two negative impact produced by the construction activity. Air pollution was occurred during and after construction. This is due to the dirt or smoke release from the passed by vehicles especially the heavy vehicles (lorry and excavators) go-and-forth into the construction site. Almost 4-5 big lorries elapsed the road everyday. Of course it’s not permanent but if they do give negative effects especially to road users on the road. The heavy lorry moving on the site gives a high accident risk to road users. The dust problem which is very serious in the afternoon and on windy day is so dangerous to the road users and residents around there. The dusty environment is not only caused the short sightseeing to drivers, but also causes temporary nasal problem like coughing.
In the further, after construction project is fully finished, air will continue be polluted by vehicles because the number of vehicles will definitely grow up when the number of residents increased. The number of residents on the surrounding area especially the Kingfisher and Indah Permai is getting higher and higher. We all know that vehicles release much carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide which are hazardous to environment. So, air pollution will happen. A lot of dust also releases into atmosphere especially during the peak hour (9-11 am) in the morning. So it is right to say that once a day the people around there haven’t the chance to breath in the fresh air in the morning if the air pollution index continues to rise.
Moreover, water pollution will occur during and after the project construction as a consequence of improper waste disposal. It was becomes more conspicuous while implementing the project due to the flow of sediment into the Likas river probably during rainy day. As a way of preventing, planting grass in the leafless area to avoid the flow of sediment. Water pollution is also occurred in connection to improper waste disposal, building left-over, wood, domestic waste from nearby residential housing like cans, paper, plastic, which pollute the water. For instance, the PH of river water is about 6, is too acidic to use as drinking water or daily use. On the other hand, machines or vehicles at Putrajaya construction site contributes to noise pollution. When the surrounding noise level reaches 80 dB, it causes discomfort or harm to human eardrums. Moreover, there is no tree and green plant at construction site to provide good insulation for sound. Therefore, Project Putrajaya is not environmental-friendly.
I can also imagine the scene of traffic flows around UMS-Sulaman bypass when this project was finished. There will be a heavy traffic jam around the Federal Building, Alam Mesra City and Borneo Hypermall. There will be also a heavy traffic jam around UMS, Kingfisher, Indah Permai or Kota Kinabalu City especially at peak hours from 7.00-9.00 am and 4.30-5.30pm. It is the difficulty the vehicle drivers have to encounter. They have to wake up earlier for work in the morning, about one hour earlier than usual, just to prevent them from trapping in the terrible traffic jam. Just imagine if more than 25 government departments has been operated, how many workers there are at that time? And how many public are going to the place performing their daily job every day? It is avoidable the traffic jam in that place will be getting serious once almost all the government department around the Kota Kinabalu will move into that place.
Based on my personal observation, I can assume that Putra Jaya project is not environmental friendly because it did not care about the covering crops and location aspect. Actually, the green trees and grass plantation should be done before preceding the project. The surrounding in the Putrajaya Project is dull since there is no tree and green plant planted to make it greener. Being the administration centre for the government, it should support the theme of Kota Kinabalu City as Tropical Rainforest City. So, they should create a tropical landscape to make the place more environmental-friendly. For example, we can see beautiful landscape in Ums. There are big trees and many plants planted. This surrounding surely gives us peaceful view rather than seeing all the concrete buildings. Besides that, grass planted can help to reduce the dust and make the air more freshly.
Another reason to say that Putrajaya Project is not environment-friendly is the Thermal Pollution. Thermal pollution is caused by the reflection of heat from glass building of Putrajaya resulting in excess heat into the atmosphere and causes the temperature to rise. In general, concrete substances for both buildings and asphalt road are highly heat-absorbent materials. Apparently, the Federal Building is a combination of concretes and solid glasses. During daytime, the heat which is produced by the sun is then absorbed by the concretes. It is then reflected to the surrounding area by the reflective materials. At the same time, the transparent glasses allow an impact of the greenhouse effect phenomenon. The roads asphalt substance will slowly release absorbed heat from the sun at the night time. The combination of these processes may subsequently create Heat Island phenomenon in which the surrounding heat might be increasing and eventually affecting the nearby areas. Moreover, there is no tree, flower or green grasses planted around the project area. What we can see is only concrete buildings that were built in glasses. Since the nature environmental was replaced by concrete building and glass building, so the existing earth lined access road at construction site will be laying with one layer of surface dressing. Consequently, the temperature of the surrounding are will be increased and become higher than the other areas. Forest and land clearance may also bring to rise of temperature and eventually the Green House Effect due to lost of plants as oxygen provider and heat absorber. It also bring change to climate that includes increasing the micro climate, rise of surrounding temperature. For example, temperature has increased to approximately 30 degree Celsius in construction site in day time.
The Putrajaya Project is not an environmental-friendly because the project will definitely impose negative impacts on the environment especially in the destruction of biodiversity. Before that, we can see that there are many kind of flora and fauna were cultivated in the place to form a natural landscape. Now, to construct the federal building, of course, the developers use up large area and have to destroy flora and fauna. At the beginning of the project, it was involved of a large-scale removal of mangrove in the swampy area nearby. This phenomenon of mangrove clearance brings the effect that the flora and native plants species once flourish in the construction sites to be all gone. Fauna includes wildlife like many species of insects or birds will become endangered as they are forced to migrate to find shelter and food in order to survival. Many of them will die as they have failed to adapt themselves in new living places. It is actually quite difficult to find places that are suitable and can replaced their natural habitat Food chains, micro climate, settlement will be different in new places.
The Putrajaya project will eventually impose a long-term impact to the environment – due to the exploitation of forest and land, which have crucial ecological functions in protecting the nature. For instance, the forest can control soil erosion, and play important role in preventing river deposition. Besides, it also helps to avoid natural disaster – such as landslide, flash flood, and drought. Hence, forest destruction may risk the whole ecosystem.
As the natural vegetation cover is cleared environmental change invariably takes place. A typical pattern of development would be that of an increase in environmental degradation related to natural resource exploitation. The clearance of natural vegetation cover exposes the soil layer to erosion and soils, which may have taken thousands of years to form, run the risk of being washed away. The fate of the soil is largely dependent upon the successive land use. Unfortunately the magnitude of the erosion risk is amplified in the humid tropics due to high intensity rainfalls and the rapid rate of land conversion. As a result, the soil erosion will be happen if the ground has been taken away the tree, leave nothing to protect the soil from being washed away by rain; the soil is losing the grasp roots.
Natural disaster such as flash flood will also occur due to the lost of covering crops acting as water catchments area. The heavy piles in construction site that are driven vertically into ground as a support for a building made the soil structure become loose, then contributes flow of sediment into the river (Likas River nearby). The sediment of rock, gravel, mud or sand in the river bank causes the river to become shallower. This will cause the flood to occur and also bring bad impact to aquatic living. Putra Jaya will also bring negative effect to ecosystem as we know the food chains are disrupted as many species have extinct, no longer existing the green plants in the area. Land clearance will result in the destruction of biodiversity. Flora species have been largely removed might bring to the lost of precious natural resource and the ruin of beautiful landscape. Natural scene and landscape have been destroyed and can’t be seen anymore. Although planting trees or glasses to cover the landscape, it can’t replace the natural one.
In conclusion, I think the Putrajaya Project next to UMS is not an environmental-friendly but a disaster to environment.

This project also have a many building compare with plants. Many goverment department will to operate our department at the building. Each department have a lot of staff and worker. So, congestion will happen either peoples or transports. The condition will to cause the movement to be faster. At the same time, air pollution will happen because many lorry will return for passing stones to build area. So that, the project next UMS is not enviromental friendly project because no suistanable among development with enviromental. Many negative impact that happen currently project and post-project. | |

How far the project next UMS to be enviromental friendly?
The Putrajaya Project next UMS is a Wisma Persekutuan Build. As other project that nearly such as Borneo HyperMall and Alamesra City, Federal Project is not enviromental friendly project. It is because, no anything indicator that show about enviromental friendly, for example if look location, building amout and implimentation aspect. The project location are nearly with main road (Sulaman Highway). Many impact that will exist currently project is implimented such as polluted and noise pollution. At the same time, the condition will to give negative impact to human seing.

The building of Putrajaya that will be finish soon look like as a futuristic garden with the modern building as background. The people that drive through the Sulaman-kk highway will proud to have a sophisticated centre of administration. But most of people said that it is not nature friendly. Why? Because there is no tree that plant there, term pollutions and etc. to develop something we have to sacrifice another value to achieve another value. The concept of balance development should be considered in many aspect of development especially in huge scale.
In early of development, the site of Putrajaya is already been discovered before. We can see the existence of Eucalyptus that grown at surrounding of Putrajaya. Moreover, there is a lake manufactured by human that shaped by the development of the highway that block it stream. This is important so that you will not misunderstand that it is the impact of the Putrajaya development.
The pro and contra should be considered in order to solve the environment problem in most effective way. Most of people suggested planting a big tree in a huge number. Have to take notice here that Putrajaya is still planting decoration and big tree in consistent with the development of project to balancing the impact of environment. The planting of big tree will complicated the work of development.
The term pollution that state by Ms Lai Chew Fong is a reality of modern development impact. The design of the building is more important because it will show the modernity and the development of architecture and engineering of one country. So that the development of Putrajaya had built with the mirrors as a frame of the building in order to substitute the wall of the building will only gives an impact to the surrounding of the building compare with the city centre area and Yayasan Sabah!!!

to me the Putra Jaya is not environmental friendly because the construction distrub all flora and fauna in the area. before this, the Putra Jaya is a jungle and mountain. the area save are many life like important tree too medicine. the example like 'tongkat ali' and fern species. another one the area save many animal and important to continues the generation are future. for are example like turtle, butterfly and so on. so, to me the Putra Jaya is not avillable for environmental friendly because the construction kills my future generation in the big area! | |

In my personal opinion, all the project which for any development is not environmental friendly. So, is not surprised if many friend said Putrajaya Project (next to UMS) actually is not environmental friendly and also include me.(¡°,) This is because the construction of federal building will give too many negative effects on environment actually for environmental which is near and around that area. The negative effects will came out is include the air pollution, water pollution, sound pollution, and other social problem when, during and after the PutraJaya Project (next to UMS).
But actually also have some good or positive effects from the PutraJaya Project (next to UMS) that is because it will produce many jod for the people who are live at that area just like the resident at Kingfisher, Indah Permai or City Kota Kinabalu. During and after the construction, many people can setter their problem: jobless. So this is a good news for them.
Lastly, my observation is we must be liable for everything we do even what kinds of the result will we get

In my opinion, the Putrajaya project at the side of UMS that “environment friendly” because whole of developer are inclined to plant various of trees which to replacement and change for the most arrangement. So, the landscape like this is one of the excellent elements into reflecting that the project is “Environment friendly.”
An addition, all the worker at Putrajaya project should be cleaned up along the highway and make Suring whole of the plant that gets water enough.
Exactly, to show that the developer are appreciating towards environment society particularly this area and not went to interruption them whether the dusk and sound pollutions.

Usually, “environmental-friendly” project is the development without cause damage to the use of land and its environment. On my direct personal observation, I don’t think that the development of PutraJaya Project next to UMS is “environmental-friendly”. This is because a lot of plant such as mangrove (Rhizophora) had been cut off and that will effects the life and environment. Most habitat of plant such as Bakau Kurap (Rhizophora mucronata), Api-api (Avicennia) and animal such as stork (Ciconia ciconia) are destroyed. I have an example for the project that is “environmental-friendly”. The crab farm project that is located at Trusan Jaya Village, Sarawak. That project called “environmental-friendly” because it never caused damage to the use of land and its environment. On my suggestion, to safeguard the healthful environment that is essential to life, humans must learn that Earth does not have infinite resources. Earth’s limited resources must be conserved and, where possible, reused. Furthermore, humans must devise new strategies that mesh environmental progress with economic growth. | |

Putrajaya Project is considered a big project. Surely it is involved such a big amount of dust. Even build a small house we will face the dust problem. From my observation, dust, traffic jam and noises that produced by the constructions are among the problem of this project. Every project faced the same problem. For a start, I think this is not environmental-friendly project. Obviously, dust is a problem. Their vehicle (lorry), machine and wood, spreads the dust everywhere. It becomes worst because there are not many plants at the site. Plants may not live because of the pressure to the soil. As long as the machines and large vehicles still working. Nevertheless, I believe, the authorize party for this project would not leave the project like what we see now. They must have a solution if problem happen. Traffic jam? Before this project has done, traffic jams have been the problem occurs along our UMS road to KK. This is one of a main road to KK city. Now, their vehicle worsens this situation. Lorry, trailer and truck are inside out the main road to get their material. Traffic jam means many vehicles. Many vehicles mean many smokes. Many smokes mean our air is polluted. Their large vehicles and machines also contribute to the noises. However, these not affect us too serious. We can still sleeping and studying very well, right? To compare, Bandar Sierra project at Telipok was too noise because they have to explode the hill to flatten it.

The Putrajaya Project is not environmental friendly. Every day thousands of tons of pollutants are discharged into air such as smoke, dirt, dust from the construction site. Air is polluted when it contains substances in sufficient concentrations to have a harmful effect on living things. Dirty air kills people. According to the WHO, at least 3 million people die prematurely each year from illnesses caused by air pollution. In general, the more urbanized and industrialized a place is, the more responsible it is for pollution.
Apart from that, deforestation is a very serious problem faced by mangrove forests today. Many of the mangrove forests have been developed to fulfil the densities population. Mangrove forests are literally disappearing. Many types of flora such as spesies Avicennia (pokok api-api), spesies Bruguiera (pokok berus) and other species of plant which living in the mangrove forests have been disappearing impact of the development. When land is cleared or the vegetative cover is broken by overgrazing or other disturbances, the process of soil erosion happen.
As a conclusion, the Putrajaya Project is not environmental friendly at all. | |

The federal administration is in the process of moving to newly-built Putrajaya in Sabah. The Putrajaya in West Malaysia is known as utopia city which is in the list of planned cities. The Planned City is also considered as ‘The Garden City’. The Garden City is also a generic new town plan developed by Ebenezer Howard, a British urban planner who proposed developing smaller suburban cities connected to major cities. Nowadays, the British new town movement is developed from these ideas. Trees are important components of the natural landscape and significant elements in landscaping. Thus, landscape design and creation of all types of outdoor green spaces will benefit many workers in public offices in central and local government. In this project, Landscape managers apply their knowledge of planting and the natural environment on the long-term care and development of the landscape.
Well, this concept of environmental-friendly is currently for Putrajaya in KL but I still not sure how far Putrajaya in KK will imitate it. We just wait and see what will go on later when this project is completed. Every project or development in the beginning may cause negative impacts; for instant, the project of KL Putrajaya also had sacrificed value of nature for the development of our country. I think UMS also had the same problem during the construction. But now UMS has become famous for beautiful natural scenery. We cannot expect all these happen just in a short time; sometimes getting better results need to take time and effort also. | |

In my opinion, I think tat Putrajaya Project next to UMS is no an environmental friendly project. It is because the project will result several negative effects on environment.
Obviously, during and after the construction air pollution was occurred. Dust pollution was the major pollution. From my point of view, there is no tree, flower or green grasses planted around the project area. However, there are no tree functions to decrease or absorb the dust. So it just makes the pollution to be more seriously daily. Besides that, soil erosion will be happen caused by the soil losing the supported from grass roots.
We can see that the building was built in glasses. It will contribute the greenhouse effect in the future. The greenhouse effect is a necessary phenomenon that keeps all Earth's heat from escaping to the outer atmosphere. Without the natural greenhouse effect it is certain that we would all be lost. Temperatures on Earth would be much lower than they are now, and the existence of life on this planet would not be possible. However, too many greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere could increase the greenhouse effect. This could result in an increase in mean global temperatures as well as changes in precipitation patterns. At morning, that glasses will reflect the sun ray then passes through the atmosphere directly and will causes the temperature of the surrounding increased and become higher than the other areas.
Besides that, after the project had been done, the other problem will be facing by the residents is traffic jams. It is because the entire government department at Kota Kinabalu will move into that place. There just have only main highway to Kota Kinabalu town. So for those people who need to work pass by this main road need to wake up early than before.
Eventually, I need to say that the project is no an environmental friendly project which located at next to UMS . In a nut shell, it is better to have a plan wish, is environmental friendly.

The Putrajaya Project is an effort by the government to provide another facility to the people or citizen of Sabah and in line with Kota Kinabalu’s status a city. However, the question of whether the project is environmental friendly remains an individual opinion. In my opinion, the project will definitely create negative impacts on the environment especially in the destruction of biodiversity. Trees and native plants species once flourish in the construction sites are long gone. This will result in the rise of temperature in the surrounding area. Besides that, wildlife like many species of birds is forced to migrate to more comfortable areas to search for food and shelter in order to survive. Therefore, special preventive efforts should be taken by government to make Putrajaya Project more environmental friendly.

COMMENT ON “PUTRAJAYA PROJECT”
Generally, “Putrajaya Project” is developed as the new administration center of Sabah State Government. Unfortunately, the project will eventually impose a long-term impact to the environment – due to the exploitation of forest and land, which have crucial ecological functions in protecting the nature. For instance, the forest can control soil erosion, and play important role in preventing river deposition. Besides, it also helps to avoid natural disaster – such as landslide, flash flood, and drought. Hence, forest destruction may risk the whole ecosystem! Moreover, pollution will occur during and after the project construction – due to heavy traffic, and improper waste disposal. In conclusion, the “Putrajaya Project” is NOT ‘environmental-friendly’ – if it fails to avoid such hazards to Mother Nature!

I don’t think that the Putrajaya project is environmental friendly due to the negative effects its brings to environment.
At the beginning of the project, it was involved of a large-scale removal of mangrove in the swampy area nearby. This phenomenon of mangrove clearance brings the first impression that this project representing environment annihilation. It was becomes more conspicuous while implementing the project due to the flow of sediment into the river (Sungai Likas) probably when it is raining. Moreover dust that comes from the project area caused air pollution in the area nearby.
Recently, the project is almost done, but the problem still going on. This is because of the building itself is 60% covered by glasses which sooner or later will increase the temperature around the area (like UMS and Kingfisher). Still, car park area is not yet available and possibly the swampy area nearby have to be removed.
As a way of preventing remains the swampy area nearby, planting grass in the leafless area to avoid the flow of sediment and storeyed car park area can be a good settlement. | |

In my observation, the Putrajaya Project (next to UMS) is not an environmental-friendly because it will be takes an environmental impact before, current and after the project is implemented. As an example, the projects of Alam Mesra City in front of UMS and 1 Borneo Hypermall which is built near by the UMS. Before the project is implemented, the covering crop and green tree should be done. As a result, the soil erosion will be happen caused by the soil is losing the grasp root. However current the project is implemented, the major pollution is dust pollution. This phenomenon is also caused by less of green tree that have a function and able to absorb the dust. Apart from that, the noise contamination and the air contamination also be a major environmental impact current the project is implemented. After the project is fully finish, there will be a heavy traffic jam around UMS-Sulaman. This will be cause the residents who are live near by there face the problem of traffic jam. So they forced wake up one hour earlier for work in the early morning to prevent traffic jam. Besides that, the temperature at that area also will be increase and cause the phenomenon of greenhouse effect happen in the future.
In conclusion, I think the Putrajaya Project (next to UMS) is not an environmental-friendly but a pressure environmental to all of us.

Ooo… Putrajaya Project! You are so majestic, stately and digniauthority….because you will be known as the federal building with consist of more than 25 federal departments that going to be operated soon. However, the most important point is “are you environmental-friendly?”
Let me tell you a theory: “Any place undergoing development and expansion into previously undeveloped lands will face challenges related to the environment.” So Putrajaya Project also facing the same challenges now. As the natural vegetation cover is cleared environmental change invariably takes place. A typical pattern of development would be that of an increase in environmental degradation related to natural resource exploitation, followed by a period of stabilisation once expansion has halted, only to be superseded by further environmental degradation related to urbanisation. The clearance of natural vegetation cover exposes the soil layer to erosion and soils, which may have taken thousands of years to form, run the risk of being washed away.
The fate of the soil is largely dependent upon the successive land use. Unfortunately the
magnitude of the erosion risk is amplified in the humid tropics due to high intensity
rainfalls and the rapid rate of land conversion. The challenge now is how Putrajaya Project manage and survive this process without threatening quality of life and further degradation of the very resources that must sustain development. If this challenge can be covered successfully, Putrajaya Project can be known as a environmental-friendly project!

In my opinion, Putrajaya Project (next to UMS) actually is not environmental friendly. That is because the construction of federal building will result several negative effects on environment.
According to my personal observation, air pollution was occurred during and after construction. As I view, the dust from construction site is serious when windy day and passed by vehicles. After construction project fully finish, air will be pollute by vehicles. It is because vehicles release much carbon monoxide. So, air pollution on that surrounding area will happen.
The vehicles via Sulaiman Road will increase from time to time. The workers maybe stay at Kingfisher, Indah Permai or City Kota Kinabalu area. So, the vehicles from those areas will contributes heavy traffic jam problem from Kingfisher round about – UMS especially at peak hours from 7:00-9:00am and 4:30-5:30pm. This situation is not only will consequence heavy traffic jam, but will also resulting air contamination and noise contamination.
After construction project fully finish, it can also contribute phenomenon of “thermal island” (pulau haba). The temperature at construction site will become higher than other areas. This is because the nature environmental was replaced by concrete building and glass building. The existing earth lined access road at construction site will be laying with one layer of surface dressing. All this actions will increase the temperature at that area. Especially, the glasses will reflect the sun ray into atmosphere. Lastly, I’m sure this condition will contribute the phenomenon of greenhouse effect also in the future.

Im not satisfied with your answer Bernedette Bernard heh...heh.. :-) just joking. You want more trees to be planted at the site? So now u have observed the site! May be in the developers future plan to plant more trees and transform the project to be a tropical development concept. But why must more trees? Is there any specification of the tropical concept? Not clear definition. Im afraid if too many trees will brings unbalance to the environment. Of course trees are important but too much trees will imbalance the scenery of a modern building. In additional the trees species is not endemic and it does change the natural biological systems. Eg;Bugs, animals etc.

Putra Jaya development project next to UMS is a mega capacity project which soon locating Federal Administratation Centre of Sabah Goverment. The progressing project reveals anecsthetical status in become physical manufacturing design in the process of upgrading Sabah Goverment development status into a distingvished level. However, how signeficant this project towards enviromental friendly development process in the line with the 21 Agenda to realise the concept of concrete and authetic development, is still in question.
Based on my brief field study at the project site on February 19, i belive that the project has commited a slight deviation from the concept of the enviromental friendly development criteria. The criteria would be best defined as a development project which is sill preserving and maintaining the nature of enviroment by considring the possible undesirable impact of the project on the nature. Obviously, it is a necessity to ensure that a development project has a minimal negative impect as minimum as zero-defect development scenario is somewhat impossible to be realised without jeopardizing the elements of the enviroment itself. This consistent with Ricrard Bachs opinion which stated that humans create their nature and deserve its outcome. The idea then supported by Dave Forenabs view on envormental destruction which he believes to be the result of humans avarice.
Based on my momentry research and taken pictures as my evidence, i honestly state that Putra Jaya development project is not applying emviromental friendly development concept. A clear evident can be traced based on itas aspect of building construction. Apparently, it ia a combination of concretes andsolid glasses. In general, concrete substance for both buildings and asphalt road are highly heat-absorbent materials. Diuring daytime, the heat which is produced by the sun is then absorbed by the concretes. Is is then reflected to the sorrounding area by the reflective materials such as the fixed solid glasses on the vuilding. At the same time, the transparent glassesallow an impact of the greenhouse effect phenomenon. In addition, the roads asphalt substance will slowly release absorbed heat from the sun at the night time. The combination of these process may subsequently create heat island phenomenon in which the sorrounding heat might be increasing ad eventually affecting the nearbyarea. This scenario may become worcedue to the release of heat from the air-condition units which are no doubt a necessary facilities for a huge scale building. Ths situation exist due to the phenomenon which fits the heat island and greenhouse effect phenomenon criteria.
From that, obviously the Putra Jaya development project dosent fullfill to the enviromental friently based on this case. | |

By viewing from the roadside, Putrajaya Project which located next to UMS has a luxury and unique design. But, to what extend of "environmental-friendly" the project is?
For me, this project is not an environmenatal-friendly project. First, let us look at the surrounding of the project, there is no tree, flower or green grasses planted around the project area. what we can see is only concreate buildings that had been built in an orderly way. The project had been implemented smoothly. BUT, the development did not consider about the environment. Thus, this project had leave out the concept of environmental-friendly.
Furthermore, the building was built in glasses. So, it surely will bring the phenomenon of greenhouse effect. At day time, the glasses will reflect the sun ray, then it passes through the atmosphere directly. Consequently, the temperature of the surrounding are will be increased and become higher than the other areas. According to Proffessor James G Titus (Environment Protecting Agency). glasshouse effect in America had contribute 33% of air pollution in the world. So, Putrajaya Project should consider to these environment problem and put some efforts to keep the project as a environmenatal-friendly project. | |

Hi, I'm back to state my opinion here...emm...the BIG trees are actually there stanley..it is not planted by the developer...I wonder who is actually doesn't open his two BIG eyes!!!...My point is the developer should plant more trees...and create a tropical lanscape...can't you open your big eyes to see the surrounding there!!! It's dull...Emm..I know the trees that u mentioned is big but is it enough ????? That is my real point here ...Developer should plants MORE trees...I hope you satisfied with my answer...Tq

I have curiousity about your statements. Especially about the greeny elements (landscapes). Bernadette Bernard stated that; "So, they should plant trees and create a tropical landscape". Shows that the developer of Putrajaya project doesnt plant the trees? Actually they have plant the trees. Besar2 lagi dia org punya pokok!! hah....ha...
Do u really observed the scenario happenings in the projects??

Many of the federal department around Kota Kinabalu will be converge on Putrajaya (next to UMS) for the peoples’ convenience. How about the impact of the project to the environment?
Based on my observation, this project is not environmental-friendly because there are 3 types of pollution have occurred. Air pollution occurs when pollutants including smoke, dirt, dust from the construction site are released into air endangering humans’ health especially the workers at construction sites, staff and student UMS (Sekolah Sains Sosial & Sekolah Pendidikan Dan Pembangunan Sosial). The air become polluted and showing this project is not environmental-friendly.
On the other hand, machines, vehicles (lorry) at Putrajaya construction site contributes to noise pollution. When the surrounding noise level reach 80 dB, it causes discomfort. There is no tree and green plants planted at Putrajaya construction site to provide good insulation for sound (noise). Therefore, Project Putrajaya contrasted sharply with environmental-friendly.
Thermal pollution is caused by the reflection of heat from glass building of Putrajaya resulting in excess heat into the atmosphere. Another example that I am sure contributes more thermal pollution is building Yayasan Sabah.
Sorry to say this project is environmental-enemy!

Putrajaya next to UMS will open in a few month more. This Putrajaya is the government administer central in Sabah state. The location of Putrajaya is the best location to put all the government staff in the beautiful scenery beside of the UMS. Looking at this project, there is some step to make sure all the effect that will happen did not happen to the society near the project location especially to the student and the resident. This building was built on the secondary forest that didn’t give many effect to the biodiversity. Now, the developer make some landscape to change the forest that have been destroy. Because of that, I’m very agree with Shafie opinion about the landskap. | |

Putra jaya next to UMS is the new government building that give many benefit to the state of Sabah especially to locate all the employees in the comfortable place. In the beginning to built this Putra jaya, there is the big signboard shown us the specific information about the project in front of the road. Also we can find the barrier to control the effect like dust especially for the safety of the student and the society who live near to the location. All of these are not enough. As an example, there still give the negative effect to the UMS student. The workers use the ums road to the location. Almost 3-5 big lorries elapsed the road everyday. These big lorries contain sand, water and so on which are to dangerous to the student. Others, to built this building, of cause, the developer used large area and killed flora and fauna. However, now, we can see that there are many kind of plant were cultivated in some place called landscape. | |

The Putrajaya Project (next to UMS) is similar to the Putrajaya Federal Territory. This is known as the Federal building and it consist of more than 25 Federal departments that going to be operated soon. .
From my observation this project is not environmental friendly because it did not care about the covering crop and location aspect. The green tree and grass plantation should be done before preceding each project. Let us take Bandar Sierra as an example; the green tree plantation has been done before preceding the project. We can see from the main entrance which shows how friendly they are to the green plantation.
Secondly, I can imagine the scene of traffic flows around UMS-Sulaman bypass when this project was over. There will be a heavy traffic jammed around the Federal Building, Alam Mesra City and Borneo Hyper mall and it is difficult for vehicle driver to face. They have to wake up one hour earlier for work in the morning just to prevent them from trapping in the middle traffic jammed. Just imagine if more than 25 government departments has been operated, how much their workers are at that time? And how much the public going to that place doing their business each day?
I think it is not environmental friendly but pressure environmental.

Before the Putrajaya project, we are attracting by the UMS when we pass the Sulaiman Highway but now the Putrajaya is becoming more attracter than UMS. It is because the building of the Putrajaya is very big and near to the highway. The visitor will think that the UMS is under the area of the Putrajaya project. In the further, the attraction of UMS will decrease because of the Putrajaya project and Borneo Mall. | |

In my opinion, I think that the Putrajaya project is not very environmental friendly. In the further, the traffic jam in that place will getting serious. It is because almost all the government department around the Kota Kinabalu will move into that place. It can increase the land value and housing value around there. The mangrove in front of the Putrajaya project may be also been development like the project Alam Mesra because of increasing population there. It is because the population in Taman Indah Permai and Taman Kingfisher was getting higher and higher now. | |

The Putrajaya Project ( next to UMS ) is one of the unique building in Kota Kinabalu. The design surely different from the other building that I ever see. But how environmental-friendly the Putrajaya Project is??
Based on my personal observation, I can assume that it is not environmental-friendly. It is because of the surrounding in the Putrajaya Project is dull. There is no trees and green plants planted to make it greener. Being the administration centre for the government, it should support the theme of Kota Kinabalu City as Tropical Rainforest City. So, they should plant trees and create a tropical landscape. A tropical landscape can make the place more environmental-friendly.
For an example, if we go to the State Library we can see beautiful landscape next to it. There are big trees and many plants planted. These surrounding surely give us peaceful view rather than seeing all the concrete building. Other example, the newest project about 500 people would be involved in the planting of some 200 trees at City Tropical Park, off Jalan Penampang on the 22 February. This shows that government is concern about the environment. Another example that I am sure all of you will agree with me is our own university. UMS is one of the beautiful university because of its landscape. The Putrajaya Project should follow some of its landscape. I think that we do not have to wait until the Project fully finishes then the trees being planted. When the Project is 50 percent done, landscape should be implemented. This is because it takes quite a long time for the trees and plants to grow. Besides that , grass also should be planted near the road. This can reduce the dust and make it more environmental-friendly.
That's all for now..I'll be back to post new comment..Thanks for reading...(",)

The Putra Jaya Project is not environmental friendly.The impact it gave was a nightmare to our people. The foriegn workers with “Beast culture” gave us a scary life. Those aliens, especially from the Philippines came from the country that facing a political problem with people fighting each other daily.
The Putra Jaya project has hundred alien workers and live in the project area. The present of those alien had given local people who live nearer an emotional shock and uncomfortable life. They feel unsafe when those alien joining them in whatever life activities they did. Those aliens are rude and always broke the rules.Why don't we stop this .

I don’t think that the Putrajaya project is environmental friendly.
Why?
From what I’ve observed, dust and traffic jam is two negative impact produced by the construction activity. Of course it’s not permanent but if does give negative effect especially to motorist on the UMS-KF road. The dust problem is very obvious on the afternoon and on windy day. The dusty environment causes watery eyes and temporary nasal problem like coughing and sneezing. On the other hand, the heavy lorry and machinery used on the site gives an opportunity of a high accident risk to road users. If I not mistaken there have been several accident cases took place along KF round about-UMS road. Not only the machinery, also the busses and ‘van sapu’ that stop by the road side to pick people cause the problem too. The area became busy because of the workers lives there were just populated the area. Now, the contractor seems to be aware of the risk and take action by widening the road side before the junction entering to the site. They also have moved the red and white plastic wall along the road side. Once there was a car hit the plastic wall. To minimize the negative impact I suggest that the safety measurement need to be taken by the contractor and the workers who work and lives temporarily on the site. A bus stop should be build located approximately 8-10 meters after the junction to avoid traffic jam entering the site. Meanwhile, to minimize the dust problem I suggest they the contractor took alternative action (eg; spraying water - wash the dirt on the road) like 1 Borneo Hypermall and University Apartment project (opposite KF Sulaman) contractor did.
