POOR YB?

Suddenly so many YBs talks about not having enough money for many things, setting up service centres, paying staff salaries, donations, contribution to party and more.

Why it was never heard of previously except for a hardworking few? Could we assume that previously they have big side income through projects and they do not have to actually contribute. They kept everything for their own and on top of that making huge claims on travelling and other expenses. No one was checking on them. Not even when they disappear from the Parliament meetings and state assembly meetings.

Now that they have been instructed to 'turun padang' and show their record book every three months. Their status would be reviewed. Some states even threaten to sack them by means of submitting their undated resignation letters. Their source of side incomes have also been tightened and carefully watched. TV3 even asks viewers to contact them if they found their YBs not carrying out their duties.

These YBs have been too relaxing in their comfort zone previously that they thought getting elected during election is for them to enjoy their victory for five years without any contribution. New YBs thought they have hit the jack pot when they won but they were seriously wrong.

NOW you know YBs. Don't take the people for granted. Don't take Pak Lah for granted.

YB Yang Bersuara

Suddenly so many YBs spoke in the state assembly. Those YBs who used to be YESmen and RUBBER stamp also suddenly found the courage to say a few words. Never mind if they use broken Malay or Broken English. At least they open their mouths.

We just hope that this sceen will continue for the next five years or until the state assembly is dissolved. Now the YBs have became Yang Bersuara. Let see when are they going to 'turun padang' and be Yang Berusaha, Yang Bekerja and Yang Berkhidmat.

It is still too early to judge. Since there is a record book to be filled they have to do something. Similar to the school children having homework to do. Or they will get punished by their teachers. Pak Lah is watching you YBs. But most importantly the people are watching.

Bravo to Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Hj Mulia for questioning how Chong Kah Kiat got his development fund so fast and so much for Kudat but not the other parts of the state. Bravo for reviewing the Kota Kinabalu Car Park problem.

Show us more results, show us more actions. We will surely give our support. After all we are all for Sabah. Sabah O Sabah.

Chong Kah Kiat Bullies Poor Pregnant Woman

Recently LDP President and state Deputy Chief Minister made headlines in local dailies again. What's the big news? Chong put one poor pregnat woman into jail!

The story went like this. A pregnant woman approached Chong at his house in Kota Kinabalu claiming that her son was suffering from hole in lung and needed to go for operation. She also claimed that she was from Kudat. Chong straight away took out RM1,600 and gave to the woman. He even sent his driver to take the woman to the hospital. However, on reaching the hospital, the woman fled. Chong's driver checked with the hospital and found that there was no such boy which fitted the description. A few days ago Chong's driver tracked the woman down and Chong reported to the police. The woman was later put into jail.

End of the story, but not end of the discussion. Questions:

1. Why, such an intelligent leader like Chong's could be cheated by a poor pregnant woman?

2. Why cash was given to the woman when she said she was from Kudat? Was it for buying vote?

3. Why, a person like Chong who always talks about religion, does not have the compassion to forgive a poor pregnant woman but to put her in jail instead?

4. Why Chong sent his driver to track the woman down? Was it because RM1,600 is too much for him?

What's the conclusion?

I don't think it would be hard for you to figure out.
