In the PC held yesterday (news in Mandarin,photo left), I called on the elected representatives not to treat the DUN as a circus to promote their political shows.
I also expressed the needs for the DUN's number of sitting to be increased from the current 16 days (the record was 21 days only) to at least 60 days in view of the problems faced by the state of Sarawak. I openly denounced the government for not having more sitting so that all the matters about the state development can be fully debated and the obsolete laws be amended, and i specifically mentioned the Sarawak Land Code,the high inflation rates in the state, floods problems in Sarawak .
Nobody can deny the fact that the state of Sarawak is at least 20 years behind those in the peninsular Malaysia, Ironically, isn't that equivalent to the number of years our current CM is heading the state BN government? Shouldn't the CM be blamed for the lack of development in Sarawak then? Yet i can not see what the CM is currently undertaking to turn around the situation!
This morning I received a SMS , "Ur press statement 2day seems very sour 2 d opposition members too!" I replied the sender with the following:
1)Politics should be used to advance the interests of the people,
2)The Dewan is not a circus and the Speaker should not be the circus master who dictates what "show" to put on, and it is certainly not a platform for child play either,
3)My advise transcends political boundaries as the call is for all the members to do the same so as to solve the problems encountered by the people and the state which is lacking since the BN governs the state.
4) Only those who fails the people need to be disturbed by my statement just like only someone who has anything to hide needs to be bothered by a simple English word camouflage as put forward in the Dewan by Wong Ho Leng (Bukit Assek-DAP).
In the PC yesterday,I also commented that we need a first-class Dewan in its members and not in its grand building (the new DUN building costs us nearly RM300 million) or infrastructure and it is regretful that is what i see (a third-class) in the performance of the DUN now. I elaborated that when the elected representatives care less about the problem of the people than their own stupid ego and pride, no one can say we have a first-class DUN.
