Grants by S’wak govt to boost rural devt — Rep
Paulus (centre) hands over an MRP grant to a recipient.
Batu Danau assemblyman Paulus Palu Gumbang pointed out each GPS elected representative has been allocated RM5 million for RTPs and RM2 million for MRPs.
Paulus said the effort to accelerate rural development through MRPs and RTPs began under former Chief Minister Pehin Sri Datuk Patinggi Adenan Satem and have been continued by his successor Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg.
“For the Batu Danau constituency, we have listed several projects to be implemented as part of the ongoing efforts to develop the rural areas in this district,” he said when presenting RM480,000 in MRP grants to 86 recipients here yesterday.
On allegations circling via social media that elected representatives were abusing government grants for personal use, Paulus pointed out there are standard operating procedures to follow.
In Limbang, he said RTPs are processed by the district office and implementing agencies before being awarded to contractors either by ballot or tender.
Paulus stressed many areas in Batu Danau are in need of development including social amenities such as community halls and futsal courts, as well as infrastructure such as roads.
He urged the people to continue supporting the GPS government in implementing development programmes in addition to championing Sarawak’s needs and rights.
My comments:
Wow, each GPS elected representative has been allocated RM5million for RTPs and RM2 million for MRPs. I wonder if it is RM7million annually. If it is RM7 million annually, it is quite a lot of money for each representative to do quite a lot of work in each constituency. I wonder if there is any special allocation for urban areas.
I was puzzled when GPS crowned YB Ding Kuong Hiing from appealed the public for donation to build a basketball court (星洲日报 陈冠勋：盼各界解囊 速落实重建蓝球场)。Another case on the same day, it was good deed done by YB Tiong Tai King who paid for the bus shelter for Sacred Heart Chinese Primary School.（沈铭蒨：出资建候车亭 张泰卿善举楷模）
I believe many, many.......... people like me think that it is so ridiculous and absurd that people are still to shoulder the responsibility of the government for repairing, upgrading, maintenance, rebuilding .......... . after paying so many kinds of taxes. Nowadays, people know so well to be fooled again and again. Do Japanese, Australians, Singaporeans, Taiwanese, Koreans, Chinese of China, Germany, Finish..... face the same problem? What a shame!
