Dear Editor,
THE
PHOTOS with this email again shows BN projects are real taufu projects wasting
our tax money. The signboard itself is a telltale sign that something is not
right. It only states that it is a federal project and appears to be under the
supervision of Majlis Daerah Penampang.
The
normal practice of project signboard
would show the title of the project, the contractor's name, the
consultant's name if relevant, the project owner, date of commencement and
expected date of completion.
In
this case, none is given which would imply that this is a direct award to some
cronies. The unwillingness to display the contract period would prevent the
public from knowing if the project is delayed or simply too slow.
The quality of the works can only be described as
shoddy and I have even talked to the workers who are mostly foreigners,
definitely Pilaks from their slang and looks.
The
hole underneath the footpath which is supposed to drain the rainwater from the
road surface to the nearby stormdrain are too small and are easily blocked by
rubbish which explains why all our roads gets flooded after just a few minutes
of heavy rain. Worst still the cheap white plastic pipe cannot even be extended
to the storm drain and the workers told me that they will just dig an open
drain through the once green road shoulders.
You
can see from the third pic that the dug up green is so ugly and this BN project
cannot even beautify the town. This is another of the hundreds of proofs how
this useless government is wasting our money just for the benefits of cronies
who without doubt are the rich and fat datuks who are larger in numbers than
the ordinary man on the streets.
What
is amazing is that a simple town beautification project is also a
"federal" projects as if the state and the Penampang council has no
money, they have to beg for federal funding? or was the federal minister have
to look for easy projects to implement just to reward their cronies, while lots
of rural people are still waiting for the development promises which are
supposed to be seen after 100 days in power?
I
did not bother to get clarification from the Majlis Daerah because in the past
I tried and they could not be bothered to answer, even letters I sent to them
remain unanswered indefinitely.
Best
Regards,
JOHN
BABAGON
