THE
RECENT announcement by visiting DPM Muhyiddin Yassin in Kota Belud that the
Federal Government had approved funds for the asphalting of six important rural
roads within Kadamaian next year is nothing but an insult to the people's
intelligence.
We
are not amused when Muhyiddin further revealed that he had instructed Minister
of Rural Development and Regional, Shafei Apdal, to bring forward the fund for
the purpose from 2014 to next year. Why cant they just start doing it this year
if they are sincere.
Why
approved projects that to be carried out after a future general election? Does
the Umno deputy president know something that we don't that he was so confident
Umno would still be the ruling party after the 13th GE?
This
is only an election promise which usually is seldom fulfilled by Umno-led central
government. Why wait till election time to announce it? This is buying of
votes, and buying votes is a clear cut corruption.
Muhyiddin
also talked about a 'magic wand'. We never asked for a 'magic wand'. What we
asked was for our rights and autonomy to be respected and restored and that we
should manage our own money, the hefty RM40 billions we send to Federal coffers
every year, but get little in return.
On
the other hand, PBS has been readmitted into BN for 11 years now with Herbert
Timbon Lagadan been the ADUN of Kadamaian for a record 3rd term, yet he is
still talking about road upgrading for the kampungs in Kadamaian, which means
he had done nothing to upgrade all the kampung roads for the last 11 years,
which means he has failed as a Wakil Rakyat and the PBS failed the Kadamaian
folks under the BN government.
The
Federal Government under Umno had failed the Kadamaian folks for the past 49
years of 'merdeka" despite the fact that billions of Sabah funds flowed
into federal coffers, not to mention another billions from Sabah's oil and gas
since 1976.
The
Federal government is simply bullying the Kadamaian folks into voting PBS in
the coming election with empty promises. Why wait for next year when they can
implement the projects right away?
Terpulang kepada penduduk Kadamaian mahu percaya janji tersebut ataupun tidak. Mereka pun tahu berfikir.
ReplyDeleteyang penting janji2 yang diberikan kena ditunaikan.
DeletePembangkang sendiri belum dapat buktikan apa2 sumbangan mereka, kuat pula mengkritik kerajaan ya.
ReplyDeleteKritikan baik juga untuk membaiki lagi kelemahan.
DeleteSudah dinyatakan bahawa masalah yang dihadapi oleh rakyat tidak dapat diselesaikan sekaligus walau pihak pembangkang sekalipun. Setiap program pembangunan untuk rakyat memerlukan perancangan yang rapi dan juga bergantung kepada kemampuan kewangan.
ReplyDeleteTahun depan kalau BN masih memerintah pasti ramai yang menunggu janji2 kerajaan.
DeleteTerbukti BN mengambil berat kepentingan rakyat juga.
ReplyDeleteSemoga kerajaan menunaikan janji untuk menyakinkan lagi rakyat terhadap kerajaan.
ReplyDeleteKerajaan harus berusaha dari masa ke semasa untuk memberi peruntukan untuk projek naik taraf. Pengumum dibuat pada masa PRU akan memberi isyarat negatif.
ReplyDeleteSemoga sistem infra dapat mencapai tahap yang memuaskan.
ReplyDeleteHope that the rural road project will begin this year before the next GE is held, this is to show the government's sincerity in bringing developments to Kadamaian.
ReplyDeleteThe DPM should approve the funds for the six rural roads for the Kadamaian district soon.
DeletePerancangan harus dilaksanakan dengan tegas dan konsisten.
ReplyDeletetidak ada penghinaan dalam pengumuman yang dia buat.. pemimpin2 pembangkang lagi menghina negeri ini bila mereka tidak henti2 melaung2kan negeri termiskin, penduduk miskin dan sebagainya.. bagi saya itu lebih menghina dari pengumuman yang dibuat TPM ini..
ReplyDeleteI don't see how Muhydinn speech could be an insult to the people. Clearly, these people have been brainwashed by the opposition.
