The road conditions and the people

The road conditions and the people                          10Jan2013   

          The 95% or more of the roads everywhere, be they municipal, state / federal in Sarawak do not have the quality in relation to the amount of allocation funds.  To express in %, it is only 30%-40% in terms of quality.  I hope more and more Sarawakians are prepared to step forwards to describe the road conditions they are using.  We should collectively demand Michael Manyin and Yong Khoon Seng to tell us once again through mass media how much federal allocation  funds the Public Works Department received each year for the past ten years. 

Ask them if it is true the allocation funds now for the repair / upgrading for the state roads are RM23,000 per km and RM31,000 per km for the federal roads.  Why are so many roads in poor / deplorable conditions?  Why are they not repaired or upgraded every year for many and many roads?  Why are these / those roads not given due attention?  Why do they allow misappropriation of allocation funds to take place year after year?  In other words why are corruptions and collusions so rampant in Public Works Department at state / federal level?

          We people understand that corruptions and collusions are just too rampant to build and improve the roads properly.  The whole road system is a living evidence how corrupt the BN government is.  How could they allow a construction company to continue the shoddy work for 15 over years without any action taken to punish them as reported ( 9Jan2013 See Hua Daily News) in the case study in Bintulu?  Was Yong Khoon Seng invited by Tiong King Sing to investigate the road conditions in Bintulu?  They only found out the truth of the road conditions in Bintulu then.  Heeeeeeee……

When more and more people are aware of the poor quality of the roads everywhere and know whom they should turn to blame and curse as well as know whom to choose in the 13^th election for a change for good.

          It is very irresponsible of Tiong King Sing to blame the contractor only for the shoddy workmanship of the road.  What about MP Michael Manyin, MP Yong Khoon Seng, Tiong King Sing himself, those high ranking officials ………?  What about the BN government led by Taib Mahmud and his cronies as a whole?  Who signed the contract and got RM?????????????????? in commission?   Shout out to tell us if there has not been such a thing called commission in % to get for signing the contract.  As we know that Taib Mahmud and his cronies as well as those high ranking officials have amassed so much ill-gotten wealth at the expense of us people.  Disprove me if you can.

          Bintulu has been plagued with many problems, to name a few: frequent floods, poor road system and transport,  high crime rate, …………..  We all understand Tiong King Sing, an elected MP was once very, very busy with his businesses of his company called Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd in Port Klang Free Zone to care about the proper development and conditions of living in Bintulu.  One of my sisters and her family were living there for 10 years to so much worry of my parents.  They were finally relieved when my sister and her family migrated to Australia.

         I wonder if Yong Khoon Seng ever went around in the state to see the road conditions in the past.  I wonder how many times he has gone around the state to see the conditions everywhere in Sarawak.  I know he has always been so busy attending to different functions and feasts in Kuching. 

          I must say all in all it is people’s fault as people everywhere in the past before 2006 in Sarawak did not participate actively and were not responsible.  Besides, they seldom cared to take the Goddess of Democracy seriously and thus the demons of Autocracy  reared up their heads high and beat us all.  Thus Taib Mahmud and his cronies had taken full advantages of everything and monopolised almost everything.  Is there any difference between the conditions here and those countries like Tunisia once under Ben Ali, Egypt under Hosni Mubarak, Libya, Gadaffi……….

          Why are 90% of the road conditions so poor / deplorable in Sarawak?  Who is still not clear?  I cannot understand why :Fadillah brushes off Anwar’s claim PKR gaining ground (Tuesday, 8Jan2013, Home, The Borneo Post).  I wonder if he is still dreaming as much as Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah who is ever ready to condemn and belittle PR.  In “Abdul Karim ticks off Pakatan”, he sneered at PR for their promises and boasted about what BN could do for the state, not knowing that we people almost everywhere curse and blame and condemn the BN government for not doing their work.  I think Abdul Karim and Fadillah should go down to the grass-root levels to study and investigate before they open up their big mouths to bark and howl.
