Lanang Bridge toll rate

Lanang Bridge toll rate 6/12/2013

        Michael Manyin claimed that the Lanang Bridge cost RM180 million, not 286 million to build.   The bridge is only 1.22 km and why it cost so much, RM180 million to construct. 

En………………people in Sibu are no longer so ignorant not to know the businesses of collusion between the Development company and the minister(s)/ministry involved in the dealing to bring up the cost.  After all, they have the people in heart to bear the cost.   It is well-understood that the signature of the minister endorsing the memorandum of understanding means a sum of money to be given.

     Manyin explained that the payment of the bridge was divided into 3 parts –RM10million in cash, RM90million in kind and another 80 million through toll.  

        When a contract was signed between Woodveal Development Sdn Bhd and Public Works Department (JKR) for the project, the cost was RM180 million and the cost has been consistent,”  Manyin asserted………The Borneo Post (21 November, 2013)

        So people are expected to pay RM80 million for the bridge through toll.   The toll for normal car is RM3 and RM6 for the round trip / to and fro is considered to be the highest toll rate in the country.  (ccwen08.blogspot.com/2008/10/most-expensive-toll-in-country.html‎)

        To know the details, you may access Lanang Bridge toll rate for more  information provided by Owen Choo.  She compared the toll rate of Lanang Bridge and Penang Bridge.    People who use this bridge can’t help cursing Wong Soon Koh.  He is believed to have been engaged in the acts of collusion / plundering with the said development company.   70% of the people in Sibu, Sarikei, Bintango and the related areas believe so.  So he was almost jilted by the people and he used money to buy Iban votes in Bawang Assan to retain the seat in 2011 state election.

        I don’t know how many times we people have pleaded the BN government to make Lanang Bridge toll-free, but they just turned deaf ears.  So we people jilted the BN government again in 505 during the Sibu parliamentary election.

        Wong explained that what actually happened was that during the Sibu parliamentary election, the then Works Minister Datuk Shariman Abu Mansor had said the state government could make recommendation or proposal to the federal government for the bridge to be toll-free, on condition that the people in Sibu rallied behind Barisan National (BN)

        He is another people so autocratic/UMNO minded.  He is digging his own grave.  I believe he is blind and deaf to the needs of the people.   I think his whole mind-set is in 1980s /1990s when the BN government could exploit people wildly at will.   

        Now that he is the sole BN elected representative in Sibu, Wong said he has no obligation to make the bridge toll-free.

        It is a curse to say so when he still cashes the salary of being the representative.   I guess he has the least idea what “people’s representative” means.  He is just too self-centred, arrogant and haughty to keep in touch with the reality.   He is disgusting.  I dare to say he just does not believe that the worse of SUPP is yet to come in the next election in 2016.

         Any party which /leader who is not people-minded and centred is bound for “Holland”.   Whether it is true or not, time will tell as we have entered the century when people everywhere have the full awareness of what Democracy means and what an individual responsibility is to uphold the principles of Her.  Internet service has no doubt connected the world to fight for Democracy.  It is an endless battle to make in-road.
