Another PKR (correction: DAP) state assemblyman behaving aloof



I cannot help it but say I am not surprised that YB Jamaliah of Bandar Utama was not only aloof.


It is fine for her to block me after I sent her an invitation to join a chat group. Of course, they will often claim that they have too many chat groups to join, but did she even say a word? No. As far as courtesy is concerned, she scores zero points as a state assemblyman, what's more now, as a state exco. 

How did I know that she blocked me?

1) Well, the first few messages went through. The final message only had one tick. 

2) I decided to add her to the chat group where the constituents are waiting, but I could not add her into the chat group. 



This is not surprising as I have seen such behaviours in two others in PKR -- Elizabeth Wong and her predecessor, Pua Pei Ling. 

Elizabeth Wong was my state assemblyman, and I was one of the first who came to her defence while writing in Malaysiakini about her boyfriend's issues. Throughout the first term, I assisted her and found her to be very willing to be on the ground often. 

Since Sheraton Move

After the Sheraton Move, I started to hear people telling me that she was always missing in action and evading the voters. A lady from the MBPJ wet market in Sri Damansara, for example, told me that she would use another road to avoid passing by the wet market, where she was being heckled by the hawkers in the early days. I messaged her saying that the lady and others would like to meet her to thank her, yet she was unwilling to go down to the ground. 

Both she and Pei Ling were added to a chat group where I had constituents in Bukit Lanjan. This was to allow her to gain a bird's eyeview of the conditions in Bukit Lanjan; yet, both of them exited the chat group without even saying a word. 

Is this the kind of state assemblymen we voted for? Pei Ling, for example, should not be too arrogant thinking that being a newbie she could win with landslide victory. Most people like me and my wife still went to vote for Pakatan Harapan because of the Anwar factor, nothing of Pei Ling's achievements. 

I hope YAB Datuk Seri Anwar will seriously look into the way how some of our politicians are behaving. I know I read somewhere YAB Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said that I should not generalise every politician, but I cannot help but agree with him.

But somehow, because of this kind of experiences, I have equated them to MCA politicians in the past before 2008. I have spent over an hour to brief Kit Siang what is happening on the ground with the hope that he would advise the elected representatives to have better public relations, not just doing their own little Tik Tok shows. Be real, solve poeple's problems on the ground, and respond to people's complaints.

In Selangor, it should begin from the top, namely the Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shaari himself. Look at Johor Menteri Besar, Hafiz Onn Ghazi. I am deeply impressed, PMX. He is emulating you, but not PH politicians. 

Reformation must begin with the politicians themselves. It is time that some of them should be sent to understudy some Quality Systems guru.

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 i...

The Need for Intervention

Writing at 2am, don’t expect me to edit the work. It is shared truly from the heart…. Just for illustration purposes A friendly Pakatan Harapan leader has given his feedback to my post about the state of Selangor now.           "I wish I could see who you'll vote," he wrote.           Although we have not met in person, I could sense from our "discussions" in the past, that he is friendly. And he is more inclined to listen if it is rational. Therefore, time spent in 'chatting' with him, I hope has not gone to waste.          My response to him was simple, coming from my own heart: "I want to see improvement in Selangor before next GE especially at the local government level."          To be honest, who else do we want to vote in Selangor in the coming general election? Azmin Ali? In fact, the rot in Selangor had begun since the later part of his first term.     ...

UPDATED 13 DECEMBER 2024: ACID TEST FOR NEXT GE: Can PH State Government in Selangor deliver?

Original report : May 14, 2024 The relevant people below have been informed.  Updated Report for MPS: 27 October 2024 after one week informing the YDP of Majlis Perbandaran Selayang in early October to make sure there is sufficient time to do anything. Updated Report for MBPJ:  13 December 2024. There is more than sufficient time for MBPJ to do something to solve the problems on the ground but see if they are doing anything. By now the Datuk Bandar should have informed the respective directors in charge. We will visit the Sri Damansara PJKita next to see how much of the problems highlighted are solved. Leftover materials from road construction remain abandoned at Jalan Tembaga SD 5/2, Bandar Sri Damansara. NEGERI:                     SELANGOR  MENTERI BESAR:     DATUK SERI AMIRUDIN SHAARI  EXCO:                         YB NG SU...
