地方議會要民選

民主行動黨美里支部委員楊如奎認為，地方議會必須要民選，以杜絕貪污、濫權和沒效率。照片中可看到默斯再也不翼而飛的水溝蓋，見報一個多星期後有關當局還是沒有來處理，水溝裡則是垃圾一堆。人民繳納稅務絕對不可怠慢，過期就要罰錢，但市政局收稅却可以不做事。

楊如奎呼籲市民在來屆的國會選舉用手中的選票來好好的教訓一下國陣貪污腐敗的地方政府。

The DAP Miri branch committee member Mr Yong believed that, the local council must be elected by the people, in order to eradicate corruption, abuse of power and inefficiency.

From the photo we can see that Moist Jaya's drainage covers have been disappeared long time ago, however, after published in the newspaper for more than weeks but the concerned authority still does not take any action to handle it, there are piles of rubbish in the drainage.

The people who pay the tax are impossible to delay the payment, will be fined after the due date. However, the local council collects taxes but can do nothing.

Mr. Yong calls upon all the Miri people to use their votes to teach BN's corrupted local council a good lesson in the coming parliament election.
