THERE are much requests and
complaints received by the Sabah DAP visiting group who took a walkabout into
the water village in the slump area of Tanjong Aru Lama which had been
neglected by the government for decades.
The group was led by the KK
MP Hiew King Cheu with the vice chairman Edward Ewol Mujie, Andrew Lee, Stephen
Yaman and members. They took a walkabout right into the heart of this water
village and spoken to many of the residents here concerning their request and
complaint.
The people is not happy
about the government for not looking into their needs here and it has been for
a long time that many people had requested the assistance from the government.
The government housing
board, no matter it is LPPB, PPRT or SPNB should come to look into this area to
assist to people here, because they are our local folks. The authority should
come up with immediate plans to build affordable and low cost housing for them.
The wooden houses here are
far too old and some is more than 60 years old and near collapse. Many people
told the KK MP Hiew that they have applied for low cost houses but never got a
reply. They felt they have been let down by the government for ignoring them.
Hiew feels that it will not
be difficult to resettle these people into low cost flats put up by the
government. A resettlement scheme can be easily drafted out to give this people
a better home. This needs determination and stern commitment from the
government to take care of the people. We should not leave them to continue to
suffer further.
There still many problems
remain unattended to, like street lights, garbage in the sea, and broken down
foot bridge etc.
Hiew said he is happy to
notice that the hanging water pipes here
which were near collapse have been put
right and fixed properly by the Jabatan Air after the previous DAP visit to the
kampong and highlighted in the newspaper.
DAP heard from them that
there is some people wanted to take the land here for private development
project, and before anything as such happened, the housing boards should come
to assist the people here in providing them with better housing. This is their
basic right to continue to live here after 4 generations living here.
i thought they were illegals, never thought they are our own people too.
ReplyDeleteIts possible that there are illegals hiding among them.
DeleteThey shouldn't live in such places, many tourists would look at us in a different view.
ReplyDeleteHope help is on its way. Lending a hand to them won't let us lose anything.
ReplyDeleteIts the government duty to help our people whenever problems arise.
ReplyDeletemasalah penduduk harus diselesaikan.
ReplyDeleteSegerakan tindakan untuk membantu penduduk di sana.
DeletePerumahan atas air ni sepatutnya dirobohkan sebab kawasan perumahan ni banyak menyumbang kepada sampah sarap dan masalah kebersihan. mungkin ramai juga di kalangan penghuni perkampungan air ni merupakan PATI.
ReplyDeleteMungkin kita tidak boleh bertindak sedemikian. Kita juga perlu memberikan notis bagi memastikan penduduk dikawasan tersebut menjaga kebersihan kawasan mereka. Jika tidak pasti akan diambil tindakkan seterusnya.
DeleteLebih baik pindahkan saja mereka yang tinggal di atas air ni.
Deletejika DAP memerintah negeri ini, adakah mereka mampu menyediakan rumah kos rendah untuk semua penduduk di negeri ini?? saya pun mahu rumah kos rendah, orang sekeliling saya pun mahu rumah kos rendah..
ReplyDeletesedangkan kerajaan DAP pulau pinang pun tidak mampu menyediakan rumah kos rendah untuk penduduk2 tidak berkemampuan di negeri itu.. rumah paling murah pun berharga setengah juta, itupun ada yang reserve untuk warga singapura..
