Press Release by YB Wong Kah Woh, DAP Perak Publicity Secretary and the State Assemblyman for Canning on 29.11.2010 (Monday) at Wisma DAP Perak:
The DAP State Representatives in Kinta Valley have submitted questions on issues and problems in Kinta Valley to the State Assembly of Perak. The DAP State Representatives will ensure that the voice of the People of Kinta Valley be brought into this coming State Assembly.
The DAP Reps in a Joint Press Conference today urged the BN State Government to take this coming State Assembly sitting seriously, and extend the number of days of sitting in order to answer all questions submitted by the State Reps.
Apart from raising questions on the main issues regarding the State Government Policies, in an attempt to improve the welfare of the People of Kinta Valley as a whole the DAP State Reps had submitted the questions relating to some unresolved local issues, including the efforts in improving the infrastructure in the market (questions raised by ADUN Canning, Tebing Tinggi and Kepayang), flood problems (by ADUN Canning, Bercham, Buntong and Menglembu), 2020 Ipoh Master Plan and CCTV Issues (by ADUN Bercham), insufficient parking in Ipoh General Hospital (by ADUN Kepayang), Ipoh airport (by ADUN Bercham), Telco Issues (by ADUN Canning), Rumah Pangsa and Squatters issues (by ADUN Buntong), development in Little India (by ADUN Buntong), lack of efficiency in street lights’ applications (by ADUN Menglembu), resurfacing of roads at old residential estates (by ADUN Tebing Tinggi) and the inhumane shooting of stray dogs (by ADUN Canning and Pasir Pinji).
BN Government should give answers and replies to all the questions raised and the Rakyat will never want to see another slip-in-duty by the State Government by holding another One-day assembly.
The practice of BN after the grabbing of power in February 2010 has proven that BN is not sincere in resolving the issues relating the welfare of the Rakyat. Not even a single question was answered during the sitting on 07.05.2009 and 28.10.2009, whereas in the Assembly on 30.03.2010 and 03.08.2010, not more than 15 questions were answered in the respective only day of sitting. It is also to be noted that a total of 127 oral questions (the entire number of the questions accepted) were listed on the first day of sitting on 03.08.2010, evidencing that BN State Government from day one had no intention at all to extend the sittings for more than one day.
Again, this shows that the BN State Government which was formed through an undemocracy process is lacking in People’s mandate, and the State Assembly is not functioning. The purpose of the aforesaid 4 State Assembly sittings were only to fulfill the constitutional requirements of not more than 6 months gap in sitting, so as to extend the life span of the BN State Government.
The PR Selangor State Government had managed to answer 80 oral questions in the 6 days assembly sitting recently. Whilst Dato’ Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir is talking about a developed state in the year 2015, there is no reason why the Perak State Government is unable to do the same in this coming sitting. It is all depends on the political will and sincerity in serving the Rakyat.
Those who are present at the Joint Press Conference including YB V Sivakumar (ADUN Tronoh), YB Lim Pek Har (ADUN Menglembu), YB Wong Kah Woh (ADUN Canning), YB Ong Boon Piow (ADUN Tebing Tinggi), YB Sum Cheok Leng (ADUN Bercham), YB A Sivasubramaniam (ADUN Buntong) and YB Loke Chee Yan (ADUN Kepayang).
