>> good afternoon, commissioners i'm steve williams i'm supported the continuance for the development as well. we simply need more time as you recall i was here three weeks ago and asked for more time we don't want to come back so we want to push is out so the issues pending are taken care of. there is currently another appeal pevent at the board of appeals for may 7 so it doesn't make or make sense to hold a hearing before that date. in my opinion if you saw my brief and e-mails this 0 needs to be renoticed under section 312 the staff has deferred it so we good thing whether it will be renoticed the elevation for the public in general i don't know how that can be skipped over. that's the kind of information the simple elevation that should have been not rushed through a final hearing for approval so we're waiting for the determination from staff this goes for the vial. the park was just established in december the environmental review of this project was done in april. several months before and they totally missed this new 9 acre park directly across from illinois street. there's no

. >> i'm steve williams. i received a call from a nearby homeowner a couple hours who asked me to come down. these are significant trees. the postingings are vague. they don't say these two trees are going to go so the neighbors assume that only those trees actually wrapped are the ones going to be cut. and the statute specifies that the tree itself has to be posted. it saying shall. that is in addition. 30 days prior to removal the department shall post a notice on the a tree. they may have a different policy when it's hard to get to some of the trees, but it leaves no doubt. the postings are vague. they don't say these two trees specifically will be cut. there's no /prepblgs or harm to the developers here. they're ahead of these things. they don't have a single approval yet. when we met with them a couple weeks ago they said they're not going to break ground for more than a year, so it doesn't make any sense for a permit to be out there to cut these trees down. further, where the trees are right now is in t

william dobson is with slate magazine and steve clemens is an msnbc contributor with the atlantic. want to go to you first, william dobson. can you just describe to us the government of malaysia as it is now and what anwar ibrahim's relationship to it is? >> the first thing you need to understand about the malaysian government, what you're dealing with is a ruling party that has been in power continuously for 56 years. so this is the type of country which many would describe as a semi-authoritarian one. it's one in which you have elections, but not a lot of political change. however anwar ibrahim has begun to make inroads against that behemoth that is the malaysian state, in that the last several years, his coalition of opposition parties has been successful at the ballot box. in 2008, they won five of 13 state governments, and then on top of that, they won more than a third of the parliament seats, which was the first time that the ruling party lost its super majority. and then, last year, the party, at least, anwar's supporters, said they won the election. what we do know for cert
