EMPTY PROMISE BY EDWARD YONG

THE COMPLAINTS received by the DAP Kepayan Barat Branch Deputy Chairman, Andrew Lee Chee Keong from a frustrated parent, Mr.Robert who’s child studies at the Stella Maris Primary School, Tg.Aru.

He brought up the matter of the bad parking lot condition at the primary school. He said, they were made to understand during the last general election PRU 12, the Elected Representative of Tg.Aru, Datuk Edward Yong Oi Fah had given his word that the road and car parks in the school will be given a new layer of premix once allocation from the government has been distributed to their respective constituency.

Since then, there is no sign of repair works seen at the school parking area. Small and large size holes keep on appearing non stop. When it rains, the condition gets worsen, and now it has to be patch up with concrete by the school, and that does not last long. It is just temporary measures.

Robert claimed that there are few kind individuals that volunteered to help to cover this big pot holes several times. It has been raining for the past few days now and there are fresh pot holes forming up in the area. He had brought this matter up to the Yong’s office several times in the year 2010, but unfortunately, there’s no response from the office.

The DAP complaint bureau will be bringing up this matter to the relevant authorities and since general election is getting close, may be Yong will quickly come to repair and pave the whole car park to make it good.
