Let’s do less politicking, says Sibu MP

People told to focus on economic devt or investors will look elsewhere for opportunities

SIBU: The people here have been urged to focus on the economic development of the town and their own rather than to involve themselves too much in politics.

Deputy Minister of Housing and Local Government Datuk Robert Lau gave this reminder during a Mooncake gathering organised by Sibu Oya Road Community Association (SORCA) at Blue Splendour Restaurant Sunday night.

Robert Lau's has quite a wield mentality
We know that RL is still young at heart at 65 but mentally he might be quite a lost old man because he forgot most of the things he spoke and promised.Robert Lau also mentioned about turning Sibu into a world class city. I guess his has his own way of turning Sibu into a world class city even though Sibu does not even have a full-fledges University and has only a population of around 230,000.

Below are some of the promises he or the so-called visionary team made to the people of sibu:-

1)We all know that the Wawasan Team to whom RL is a member has promised the people in Sibu Southern Australian University which turned up to be totally untrue. The chancellor of the University replied to our state chairman WHL that the university has no plan of coming to Sibu or to any other country to set up any campus.

2)Robert Lau should not forget that the Wawasan team had promised the people in Sibu the city status by 2005. That promise was again proved to be an empty promise and the Wawasan team later on said it passed the chance to Miri first! Maybe we will achieved our by 2020 when the Wawasan is not around to fool the people anymore,don't get me wrong, i wish them long life, i meant when they have been kick out and rejected by the people.

3)His team made lots of promises to the people since 2001 and the people are still waiting for the delivery. Every election brings new promises and disappointment follows after the election.

Construction of world-class toilets in Sibu
Robert Lau and his team should know that setting up a few world-class toilets simply do not make Sibu a world-class city. The people should know that Robert Lau is the 4th term MP for Sibu and Tiong TK is the 3rd term MP for Lanang.

Both of them take turn to become the Chairman of the SMC and all the people know that they have both failed to bring development to Sibu and both of them can't even make a decent Chairman of the SMC AS SIBU HAS THE WORST DRAINAGE AND ROADS in the whole of Sarawak.But they have constructed a few public toilets costing a few hundred thousand each.

Sarawak Land policies are against the wishes of the people and against development

Robert Lau and Tiong TK have always been the mouth pieces of the BN and will always take alliance with the CM and the Umno whenever there is a conflict of interest between the rakyat and the government. They were never the representatives of the people and they forgot that they are supposed to represent the people instead of the BN.

For example, the people have to pay a hefty premium of 25%-50% of the land price for the renewal of the land leases when they expired. That would cost the people RM30,000 to RM50,000 depending on the market value of the land.How does that argue for what Robert Lau said“Focus on economic development instead of indulging too much on political issue to enhance your economic status.”Even China has passed the property law that gives unconditional and automatic renewal of the land leases once they expired.
