SABAH DAP Vice Chairman
Edward Ewol Mujie said that he is very perplexed and wondered how a learned and
experience veteran politician Datuk Marcus Mojigoh who is the Member of
Parliament for Putatan can said that voting out BN is not a solution.
Edward said all countries
that practiced democratic system the people has the right to vote the
government out if they are not satisfied with the way the country is being
governed.
The proper way for the BN
government to find out why the people showed lots of anger is to go through
studies the way on how the BN government administers the country instead of
asking the people not to vote BN out from the government.
Asking the people to put
forward idea on how the government should be run is actually exposing the real
weakness of the BN government as this showed that the BN elected representative
has ran out of idea on how the government should be run, and failed to carry out their
responsibilities that the people entrusted to them.
Of course it is not wrong to
ask the people to put forward ideas on how the government should be run, but
the question is, will any or some of the ideas going to be implemented.
It must be remembered that
for the last three years the opposition parties has many time pinpointed in the
media many of the unattended bad roads, blocked drains, broken slab and many
others, but with some being made good and the rest still waiting to be put
right there. However, the worst scenario is the power cut which has made the
people very angry.
The people got very angry
when the government suddenly announced to implement big projects without first
consulting them to find out their views.
Such big projects are Koiduan Dam in Penampang/Papar, Tambutuan Dam in
Kota Belud and Coal Power Plant in Lahad Datu.
This sort of action of the
government clearly showed that the elected representatives of that area failed
to carry out their duties which have been entrusted to them by the people. In some cases, these lead the rakyat to
resort to demonstration to show their dissatisfaction and anger towards the
government.
Many other big issues that
has not been resolved such as the Land Native Customary Right and land grabs
that really affecting the welfare and well-being of the people especially the
Native of Sabah. Some cases are still
pending the court decision.
A few years back if was
exposed by the media that even a grave yard in Inaman has been applied by
someone and whether this case has been solved or not is anybody guesses.
So Edward said with the
aforesaid issues which still exist and is seemed to be no solution in sight, so
what is the purpose of asking the people to put forward ideas how to run the
government.
Of course the government can
said the land problem has been partially solved by creating the Communal
Tittles but this has not been well received by the people, he added.
