What is Road Sign for?

 



        Pause a minute, and take a good look at the picture. Can you see the road sign if you are a visitor to the area? This road sign was placed here by the Selayang Municipal Council (MPS), supposedly to show you the direction to the housing estate. 

        I can understand if this is the only road sign that appears "hidden" but a second road sign is also installed at a place that is not obvious to outsiders. Because there are two junctions entering into this housing estate, visitors would have to drive a few hundred metres before they see the second road sign.

This roadsign is installed at the junction turning into Permai. Two reflective mirrors are placed just beside the road and serve no purpose, instead of putting them at the dangerous junction requested by residents. 


        Several other road signs and two reflective mirrors meant for dangerous junctions are also placed in some strange -- rather than strategic -- places that only monkeys get to use. It should not surprise you that some people are monkeying around with wastages public funds. 

        The lackaidaisical attitude of  MPS and many of the councils in Selangor has not changed since Barisan Nasional era. The state of neglect by MPS affects the people's life everyday. 

        What irks me the most is that after two years of writing letters to (a) MPS engineering department (b) MPS president (c) councillors Ng Wei Keong (past) and Calvin Cheong Heng Wai (present) (d)state assemblyman Elizabeth Wong (e) Member of Parliament Damansara Tony Pua (f) State Exco Ng Sze Han (g) Menteri Besar Aminuddin Shaari, no one has done anything till now. I had promised them that I would kickstart a campaign if things do not improve. 

Public Sentiments about PH in Selangor

        Now, I can understand public sentiments AND I have to say that Pakatan Harapan (PH) has been given 2+1 terms in Selangor, The first two terms were sufficient for it to clean up the mess, and by the third term, we expected to see improvement.

        From those who, in their first term elected as state government in Selangor, were gung-ho about administering the state, what we now have are people who no longer have a passion for the state. 

        It is no wonder that complainants have given up on both the local councils and the state government. Even though there is no better government that can take over at this point yet, PH runs into the risk of losing badly in the coming general election. After all, they have to learn that no one is indispensable. No one is invincible. Never think that PH will be forever in power in the Selangor state government unless they buck up now. 

        After a senior DAP leader from Selangor contacted me, and subsequently, I was told by another senior leader from DAP Perak that there would be a meeting with the state exco in charge of local government, I am looking forward to tell him that if he continues to let the local councils operate business-as-usual, more people will express their frustration using their votes. Till now, there is not even a 10-min phone call by any of his staff. Very busy? 

        Or, they may from time to time complain to the media. But media can only cover a few stories. At the end of the day, the more outspoken ones like me would have to take their stories to the blog. What is worse is that those in power do not get to hear their complaints spoken in coffee shops amongst friends.

        If no one speaks up now, things will and can only get worse. After all, the local council staff and councillors appointed by political parties will continue to receive their income, since no action can be taken against them.  
   
        At the end of the day, it is the Rakyat who suffer.

Sdr. Gobind, Kalau dah tak nak dengar bisikan, maka laungan kuat perlu dibuat juga

Pada hari ini, 20 hari selepas saya mula menulis blog pos ini, saya hanya kongsikannya kepada beberapa orang. Hanya 30 views. Tapi sehingga ini, kerana tidak ada sebarang jawapan yang diberi oleh YB Gobind, barulah aku kongsikan dengan lebih ramai orang. Memang betul jika pelbagai alasan diberi seperti perlu masa untuk menyelesaikan masalah, kita boleh terima, tapi jika membisu saja, memang sukar kita nak terima.  Yang penting untuk kami adalah YB Gobind lebih peka dengan pelbagai masalah yang dihadapi oleh penduduk tidak kira siapa yang mengadu. Sepatutnya tugas ahli parlimen, ahli dewan undangan negeri, ahli majlis, YDP majlis, Ahli Exco kerajaan negeri Selangor dan Menteri Besar bekerjasama menyelesaikan masalah dengan baik. Sama-sama kita membangunkan negeri Selangor Darul Ehsan.  --------------------------------------------- KAWASAN PARLIMEN Kepong di bawah mantan ahli parlimen YB Dr Tan Seng Giaw memberi sebab saya telah menyokong DAP sejak 1988 lagi, tapi kebelakangan ini, keran

Selangor Terkini

  YAB Menteri BESAR Amiruddin Shaari YB Ng Suee Lim YB Pua Pee Ling  YB Gobind Singh  YB Nga Kor Ming  Jangan memalukan Kerajaan Madani pimpinan YAB Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim yang kami sanjungi. Kerajaan Selangor perlu pertingkatkan prestasi kerja-kerja Majlis dalam kawasan Selangor.  Ahli-Ahli Majlis yang tidak membuat penyelian dengan baik dan hanya setakat main Politik Tempatan (local politics) harus dipecat. Kenapa di sesetengah Zon, kerja pembersihan dibuat dengan baik?    Yang ini kerja TELEKOM MALAYSIA. Budaya kerja  TM tidak berubah sejak zaman Sharifah Intan, PRO tahun 1990an.  ——————————————————————— Yang sudah beres pada hari yang sama. Diterima dari YDP Majlis Pernandaean Selayang, terimakasih.  Sepatutnya penyeliaan dan edukasi dibuat oleh pihak ahli majlis dengan bantuan dari Majlis dan pasukan penguatkuasaan.  Sampah perlu diasingkan dan kotak perlu dikitarbalik. Peniaga seharusnya tidak dibenarkan buang sampah sebegini.  Yang terpaksa buat kerja lebih adalah pengadu dan
