SJK(C) PAI WEN EMPTY PROMISE

DELAY.... MP Hiew checking on the school hall with DAP Ranau leaders.

THE MULTI purpose hall of SJK (C) Pai Wen building fund is in serious shortage, and the work has delayed considerably. This was disclosed to the Kota Kinabalu Member of Parliament Hiew King Cheu during his recent visit to the Ranau town near Mount Kinabalu.

The concern people in Ranau expressed their views to the KK MP and requesting his help in highlighting the pressing issue here. They said the school was facing termite attach and forced to demolished up to 50% of its old class rooms in the year 2007. Later on, they had to convert the existing school hall into classrooms to meet the requirement.

To improve the school facilities, the school management board had decided to build a new RM1 million multi-purpose hall to accommodate the various activities. A find raising dinner on the 21st of November 2010 was organized and managed to raise RM200,000 after deducting costs.

The Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Musa Aman, Minister Datuk Masidi Manjun along with other dignities were present, and the CM Musa announced on the spot that the Sabah State government will allocate a sum based on “one to one”, and that is RM200,000 for the school to make up the building fund to RM400,000.

On this special fund raising function, this allocation came as good news to the Ranau community and the school. Unfortunately, the RM200,000 as announced and promised was never fulfilled and delivered by Datuk Musa Aman. It is now 14 months lapsed, and the construction work schedule had been seriously delayed, and the work could have been completed.

There was a federal government grant of RM200,000 made to the school in 2009, and this amount was received and used in the school hall construction. Up to date, the school has finished the money available and coming short of fund about RM600,000.

This case had reflected that the CM Musa and the BN is not helping but giving out a lot of 'Sweets' and 'empty promises'. He said the Pakatan Rakyat is only good in telling lies and empty promises, and now we have solid proof on who actually did that.

We challenge Musa to immediately handover the money to the school without further delay. Just to remind him that he mentioned before that Sabah is having the best financial standing, but why the school money after 14 months was not delivered? Or rather that his announcement made was just to please the people of Ranau.

Chong of Ranau told MP Hiew by saying that, “Yes, now we see and know about the truth, and we know what to do during the general election”!
