BELUD: 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, Shafie Apdal, to bring forward the fund for the
purpose from 2014 to next year. Why can't they just start doing it this year if
they are sincere?
Why
approve 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?

DeleteKerajaan tidak akan menipu pun. Cuma pembangkang saja sekarang yang cuba menabur janji kosong untuk meraih sokongan daripada rakyat.
ReplyDeleteSelepas mandat diberi kepada kerajaan pada PRU13, pasti kerajaan akan membangunkan Sabah.
ReplyDeletekalau mahu berdebat dengan pembangkang, tidak akan habis soalan2 dari mereka.. bila tidak diumumkan, dia akan persoalkan kenapa tidak diumumkan.. bila diumumkan, dia akan persoalkan kenapa tidak dilaksanakan tahun ini.. bila dilaksanakan tahun ini, dia akan persoalkan, kenapa tidak dilaksanakan lebih awal.. bla, bla, bla..
