TELUPID
: Recently there was one ‘Karnival Siok’ organised for youths in Telupid by the
office of Beluran's member of parliament and the sub-district State Youth and
Sport Department.
The
three-day carnival on Apr 27-29 was badly organised using public money, poorly
attended and is now being questioned by the public and that a related police
report had been lodged. I ask the Beluran MP to clarify on this issue as it
involves peoples' money.
From
the reports that we received, we never knew how much was spent for this
three-day Karnivel Siok but we were informed that it was an idea hatched to
so-called pave for the MP to allocate RM4,000 for each of the 12 youth
associations around Telupid.
We
were told that however, an officer from the Beluran MP office by the name of
Melton Martin, who is believed to be UMNO liaison officer in Beluran, managed
to convince 10 out of the 12 associations to deduct RM1,000 each from their
RM4,000 to be reverted back to him for the purpose of organising the carnival.
Now
according to reports from those in the know, the carnival's organiser was
LabukDotFM (we don't know what it is) of which Melton on behalf of the
organiser promised several things. They were: the organisers would provide
foods for the participants for three days; provide t-shirts, canopy; and
exhibition booths. We understood none of these were provided by the so-called
organiser !
We
understood that foods for participants were in the end provided for by the
Telupid Youth and Sport Officer ! The officer stood in to do the booth as well
as the UMNO guy never delivered on his pledge. We don't know if it is true that
the officer even used his own money to buy foods as claimed by some reports but
if this is true then the MP must explain to the rakyat.
Heated
arguments of course were exchanged between parties in such situation. The
common UMNO-style manipulations poked its head, and even the permanent
secretary of the State.
Daripada melakukan karnival lebih baik pergi menggunakan wang itu untuk membantu mereka yang lebih memerlukan. Lebih bermakna jika mereka pergi malakukan kerja amal dan berkunjung kerumah2 orang tua atau anak2 yatim.
ReplyDeleteSemoga kerajaan memberi lebih banyak tumpuan kepada kebajikan rakyat.
DeleteAgree to anonymous, kebajikan masyarakat harus diutamakan.
DeleteAda banyak lagi perkara yang dapat memberikan manfaat kepada semua selain dari melakukan karnival yang tidak memberi manfaat secara keseluruhannya.
ReplyDeletejika kalnival tersebut memberi manfaat, tak salah ia dilangsungkan, tapi pastikan ia dilaksanakan dgn baik dan berkesan.
DeleteApa sebenarnya objektif karnival ni dilaksanakan? peserta tu nampak macam p kelab saja..
ReplyDeleteIya bah. Entah gambar saja2 atau gambar situasi sebenar di sana.
DeleteBagus juga kalau buat karnival kerjaya untuk belia di Telupid daripada buat karnival macam ni. Ramai yang asalnya jauh di pedalaman dan sukar untuk mencari pekerjaan yang sesuai.
ReplyDeletePihak penganjur lebih baik tampiul ke depan untuk beri penjelasan.
ReplyDeletePasti ada tujuan kenapa karnival ini dianjurkan?
ReplyDeleteTujuan untuk menghibur penganjur sendiri.
DeleteHarap mencapai sesuatu yang positif dan bukannya semata-mata untuk hiburan sahaja.
ReplyDeleteThe government should spend wisely.
ReplyDeleteThere are many issues that needed to address and resolve, government must learn to spend for the shake of the people benefits.
ReplyDeletePeruntukan wang harus digunakan dalam aktiviti yang membawa perkembangan ekonomi.
ReplyDeleteEkonomi tidak berkembang, harus peruntukan digunakan wajar dalam aktiviti yang menggalak pembangunan.
DeleteApakah tujuan karnival? Pihak penganjur harus memberi penjelasan agar tidak membawa kesan negatif.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with organizing a carnival but it would had been better if the money were to spend on something that would actually benefit the people.
ReplyDeleteKarnival sebegini sebenarnya baik sekali-sekala memberikan hiburan pelbagai program yang menarik.
ReplyDeleteKarnival sebegini sebenarnya baik bagi merapatkan lagi hubungan penduduk dikawasan tersebut.
ReplyDeleteapa pula pendapat para belia yang menghadiri karnival itu?? kalau tidak silap, rata2 berpuas hati..
