埔奕州議員謝超發華教零貢獻?

Pujut YB did Zero contribution to The Chinese Education as well?

埔奕州議員謝超發指行動黨對本州華教作出零貢獻，他也說，在上屆大選時候，行動黨叫人民投他們的票，以便抗爭燃油起價。他質問行動黨在古晉嬴取數個議席之後；燃油價格有下降嗎？他指這是一個挑起人民情緒反對國陣，以撈取個人政治資本的例子。

謝超發的這番言論，可說是人聯高層的心聲。520州選，雖國陣在燃油價格調升的課題上作了排山倒海式的宣傳，但行動黨的弱勢宣傳仍然取得了普遍民眾的共鳴。人民顯然厭倦了人聯黨只會口口聲聲通過內部協商精神來為人民爭取應得的權益的說法。而人民也已經看出人聯黨以此說法，只不過用來掩飾該黨不敢反對國陣政府錯誤的政策之事實。人民知道如果猖獗的貪污問題一旦存在，人民仍然無法從省下的燃油津貼中得到任何福利。從沙巴州在八十年代團結黨執政沙巴州後宣布常年撥款獨中，相信人民已經意識到只有通過選票發出的強烈訊息，國陣政府才能聽到人民的心聲。

人民在520州選向國陣政府表達了強烈的不滿，但人聯黨却怪罪行動黨把行動黨說出人民心聲歪曲為挑起人民情緒來反對國陣，把人民看成沒有分辨是非能力的愚民蠢民，隨着行動黨起舞，致令人聯黨慘敗。

人聯黨在州選失去半壁江山之後宣布常年撥款50萬予州內獨中。人聯黨顯然從州選人民強烈訊息中聽到一丁點人民的心聲。當在野黨在州議會提出州政府常年撥款獨中的動議時，州政府却以教育課題属聯邦課題予以駁回時，人聯黨眾議院却噤若寒蟬。公正黨州議員指出，他在4月25日親自將“尋求獨中撥款”信件交給第二財政部長黃順舸，但是黄順舸則否認有發過有關的信件。這事件顯示人聯黨在州議會根本不敢碰觸“尋求獨中撥款”的課題。如果國陣政府果如人聯黨所說，是中庸且富前瞻性的政府，為何不能在州議會討論撥款獨中事宜？州政府撥款獨中是州內部財政的問題，為何自己做不了主？國內州属自行撥款資助獨中早有先例，人聯黨眾議員為何不敢在州議會和州內閣碰觸“尋求獨中撥款”事宜？人聯黨宣布每年撥款50萬令吉予州內獨中，如果說不是來自人民和在野黨的壓力，難道是為了感謝人民的唾棄？

副首相納吉曾表示，人民必須接受政府終有一天取消汽油及柴油津貼的事實。這就為何人民不會感到驚訝為何在原油下跌的當兒，政府沒有調低燃油的價格。如果不是人民在520州選時發出強烈訊息，國陣政府必加快取消燃油津貼的步伐。無論是州議會或國會，我們都可以從報章報導中知道眾議員的表現。人聯黨眾議員應該挺身在議會內反應民意，否則最終必遭人民唾棄。

Pujut YB pointed at DAP and said that DAP have done Zero contribution to The Chinese Education. He also said that in last state election DAP requested the people to vote for them in order to protest the fuel price hike. He interrogated The Dap in Kuching after it won a few seats, has the fuel price dropped? He said that that was to shoulder people’s mood to oppose Barisan National, in order to fish for individual political capital.

YB Chia’s view may also reveal the Supp senior level has the same thought. 520 state election, although Barisan National had made boastful propaganda in the issue of the fuel prices hike; Dap’s normal campaign had still obtained universal populace’s sympathetic chord. The people were obviously weary the Supp only able to keep on proclaiming through the closing door negotiation with BN to fight for the people’s right. But the people also knew that Supp used this as an excuse.

Through the ways of their excuse, they only used this way to conceal themselves not to oppose BN on the wrong policies. People are awared of if the rampant problem of corruption still in the government, People were still unable to obtain any welfare through the saving of the fuel subsidy.

In 80’s, after The PBS from Sabah State had won the seat, it announced the allocation of funds for the Chinese Independent School through out the years, We believed that the people already realized only through the intense message from their votes, the government can only hear the people’s aspiration.

In 520 state election, the people expressed intensely their dissatisfaction to the BN government. However SUPP blamed DAP that shout out for the people aspiration; SUPP twisted to that shouldered the people’s mood to oppose BN, which is regarded the people as the illiterate stupid people who had no abilities to distinguish the right and wrong, to dance together with DAP and to made SUPP suffered a crushing defeat.

In the state election, SUPP lost half of its throne and finally announced to allocate 500 thousand to the state Chinese Independent Schools annually. From the State election, SUPP apparently heard a little piece of the people’s voice. In the ADUN meeting when the opposition party proposed that the government’s annual allocation of funds to the Chinese Independent Schools, the State government turned down the proposal and said that the Education was the Federal issue. The representation of Supp was keeping silent. As a PKR YB pointed out, on 24 April, he personally sent a letter of “seeking funds for the Independent School” to the second financial minister WSK, but WSK denied that he has received the letter. This event showed that SUPP simply dared not to touch on the issue of “funds allocation for the Chinese Independent School”.

If the government fruited like the saying of SUPP is the doctrine of mean and also a rich foresightedness government, why can’t the issue of “the allocation of funds for the Chinese Independent School” be discussed in the ADUN meeting? The allocation of funds for the Chinese Independent Schools from the State government belongs to the State interior financial problem. Why couldn’t the state government take it in its own hand to make decision? In Malaysia has many precedent cases, there are many states that have voluntarily allocated funds to subsidize the Chinese Independent Schools. Why didn’t the numerous SUPP YBs dare to voice out the issue concerned of the “funds allocation for the Chinese Independent Schools” in the ADUN meeting as well as the State Cabinet meeting?

SUPP has announced to allocate 500 thousands to the Chinese Independent School annually, If that wasn’t from the pressure of the people and the frontier party, Was it to show thanks for the people’s to spurn Supp?

The deputy prime minister has said, people must accept the fact that the government will cancel the subsidies for the gasoline and the diesel one day. That is why people won’t feel surprised by the time of the fall in crude oil where the government had not lowered the fuel prices. If the people did not send out intense message through 520 state election, the government must have speeded up the steps of the cancellation of the fuel subsidy.

Regardless of the State ADUN meeting or the parliament meeting, we know about the performance of all ours YB from the newspaper reported. The SUPP YB supposed to boldly thrust forward to voice out the general public opinion in the ADUN or parliament meeting. Otherwise SUPP finally surely could not escape from the spurn by the people.

美里27位市議員在哪?

Where are the 27 city councillors ?

水管破裂三年了沒人理 27地方議員不如一位房保德

地方議員要民選! Local councillors need to be elected by the people!

The DAP Miri Branch chairman Fong Pau Teck urged the 27 councillors to work attentively. There was another hole, two years already. How come 27 councillors, nobody has seen it? This morning, he received a call from the previous complainer told him that the hole of the first drainage had already fixed a cover. However, after Fong went to inspect another hole just several streets away, discovered that the other hole is still there. The local residents said that the hole has been there since 2005. In between, the city council had come once to fix the cover, but it disappeared again after a while, Fong appealed the city council to work attentively, not to work only when there is a complaint, and ignore everything when no complaint is voiced.

Fong has pointed out some people’s livelihood problem in the newspaper, urged the authority to pay more attention so as to make further improvement. He pointed out that some people’s livelihood problems were not cared by the local councillors. This is due to the present city councillors are not elected by the people through the election, but this has caused some city councillors responded enormously, they vigorously condemned and denounced Fong in the newspapers.

It has been well known that majority of the Miri city councillors are the members of SUPP. The second Party Objective of SUPP expounded “strive for and maintain a government based on a democratic system.” DAP proposed that the local council must be elected by the public is to conform the suggestion raised in Supp’s party objection. However, it not only cannot get support from the members of SUPP who are also the city councillors， instead rallied together to condemn punitive expedition, makes one feel wonders whether the members of SUPP disregarded its party objective? or SUPP had already given up this objective?

Basically, the people’s livelihood problems are the general public interests, there is no reason that not to public that in the newspaper. Fong Pau Teck clams that he is neither the member of Supp nor working for the city council, he has his own right to choose any ways to propose, he does not need to cater to the request of the city council. Moreover, at present, he voiced out the deficiency of the city council, he neither got any words of praising and gratitude, instead, received a sternly condemned by some of the city councillors. Therefore, Fong thinks, if only propose by making a call calmly, the effect in return is extremely limited. To due with all those populace’s complaint, he cannot shirk the responsibility by giving an excuse of receiving no allowance from the city council, and he thinks he must render the people a good confess. Fong pointed out that regarding he made a direct complain to the city council. The City council will not necessarily take action, but if the complaint made through the newspaper then only we can see an immediately effect.

If the city council still does not want to look into the problems, at least Fong gives a turn out to the public. He only goes to his completely responsibility, Fong said, “Miri City Council needs a deep review themselves that why didn’t the people complain directly to the city council when they meet problems? but to complain directly to me? Therefore, need not to accuse me constantly to be unceasing complained the people’s livelihood problem or the deficiency of the city council through the newspaper.”

Lastly, Fong pointed out that, the official investigation made by the Royal investigation committee (皇家調查委員會) demonstrated that, the local government is the most corruption department among others. This impression had already stamped deeply in the people’s mind, in order to clear this bad impression thoroughly, Miri city council should publish the income and expenditure account of the city council constructively, as well as all critical areas, for the general public to inspect. He personally did not ever point out any person in Miri city council who involve in corruption, if one now fits him/herself voluntarily into that situation, which is thoroughly unimaginable and not Mr Fong fault. Mr Fong also advised politely to that several city councillors that the clean face should not be afraid of dirty look for others！

民主行動黨美里支部主席房保德今日發表一文告促請27議員做事應該要多用心，還有另一個洞兩年了，怎麼27人沒人可以看到？今早他接到之前投訴者的來電說，第一個水溝洞己經按上蓋了。但房保德去那檢查完之後，又去相隔只有幾條街之遙的另一個洞檢查時，却發現那依然還是一個洞，當地居民說那洞2005年就有了，當中市政局曾經來按裝過一次的蓋子，但沒多久那蓋又消失了，房保德呼籲市政局要用心做事，不是有投訴就去做，沒投訴就看不見了。

在文告中指出，他日前在報章提出一些民生問題，籲請有關當局關注並加以改善。文告中指出一些民生問題不被地方議員關心，仍是因為目前這些地方議員不是民選而造成。但此舉引起一些地方議員極大的反應，在報章上大力譴責聲討。

眾所週知，美里市政局大部份議員是由人聯黨黨員所擔任。在人聯黨的宗旨第二條闡明「爭取和維持基於議會民主制建立起來的政府」。行動黨提出的地方議會必須要民選，乃符合人聯黨宗旨的建議，不但不能引起擔任市議員的人聯黨員的支持，反而群起譴責討伐，令人感到納悶到底是人聯黨員無視黨的宗旨？還是人聯黨已經放棄了這個宗旨？

基本上，這些民生問題屬於公眾利益，沒理由不能在報章公開提出。文告中說房保德並非人聯黨員也非為市政局工作，有權力選擇以任何的方式提出，他無須按照市政局的要求來迎合。況且，從目前他提出市政局所做不足之處，不但得不到市政局感激贊揚之詞，反而得到一些市議員的嚴詞譴責。就因此房保德認為，如果只是靜靜致電提出，能取得的效果非常有限。這些民眾投訴的問題，他不能以沒有得到市政局一毛錢的津貼為由因而推卸責任，並且他必須給予人民一個交代。房保德指出對於他直接投訴給市政局，市政局也不一定會給予重視，但在報章上提出可以看到立即的效果，如若市政局還是不去重視，也算對市民有個交代，他本人只是去盡該盡的責任。房保德說：“美里市政局應該要好好去探討，為何美里人民有問題不直接向市政局投訴？轉而向本人提出投訴呢？所以無須一味的指責本人不斷的在報章上提出民生問題或市政府局不足之處。”

最後房保德更指出，皇家調查委員會所調查的結果顯示，地方政府是涉及貪污最多的部門，此印象已經深置人民腦海中。要厘清這個印象，美里市政局應該積極主動公開市政局的財務收入和支出，以及一些能讓人存疑的地方，以供所有民眾來檢查。他本人從來沒有指明美里市政局任何人涉及貪污，如今有人對號入座，實乃始料未及，實非他本人之失也。不過房保德也奉勸那幾位市議員，清者自清之，庸人徒自擾！

地方議員要民選 Local councillors need to be elected by the people

針對地方議員要民選

房保德再舉一例

Local councillors should be elected by the people

PT Fong raised another illustration

Currently, Miri has 27 local councillors, if the 27 councillors really cared about the people’s aspiration, a trifling drainage cover won’t turn me to take photos! Fong said that to the views of the 6 councillors who aimed at him directly.

Today, he gave another illustration that it is worst if the local councillors are not elected by the people. Since the construction of Permyjaya had been completed, street lights are still not fixed to certain area up to the present time. Whenever election time is near and YB comes to shake hand, the local inhabitant had already reflected the problem several times, but after election nothing to be done.

Fong wants to interrogate the 6 city councillors, 許聿全、涂慶福、邱全平、江山河、楊家生和李素霞 several questions. To see whether the 6 city councillors are able to answer these questions precisely?

1. How long had the construction in Permyjaya been completed?

2. The houses there had already been completely built for long, which of the 27 city councillors know that street lights have not been fixed there?

3. Do any one of you know the exact location which the street lights have not been fixed?

4. How long time will it still need to take to fix the street lights?

Fong called upon all the Miri residents to keep eyes open on these problems together.

“美里目前有27位議員，如果這27議員真的有去關心民瘼的話，區區一個水溝蓋就輪不到我房保德去拍照囉！”房保德針對6市議員炮轟的言論如此說。

今天他又提出了一個例證，地方議員不民選真的是不行。自從Permyjaya的屋子建好之後，有一處到現在為止一直都沒路燈。每當大選將近時YB來握手，附近居民已經向當地的YB反映好幾次了，可是都沒下文。

房保德現要質問那6位市議員，許聿全、涂慶福、邱全平、江山河、楊家生和李素霞幾個問題。看看這幾位市議員誰能夠回答這些問題？

1. Permyjaya的屋子建好多久了？

2. 那兒屋子建好了這麼久，沒路燈你們這27位市議員有誰知道嗎？

3. 那沒路燈的地點在哪裡知道嗎？

4. 做那路燈還須要需花多久的時間？

房保德呼籲全美里的市民張大眼睛一起來關注這些問題。
