Lo (third left), flanked by Andrew on his right and Ahmad, shows the list of projects done this year.
He said what Yong had said was ‘without facts, rubbish and half truth’, and making a mountain out of a molehill.
He reminded Yong to look after her own backyard (constituency) and stop making such remarks to mislead the people.
“I am angry and disappointed with Yong for criticising me and Padawan Municipal Council for the past two weeks for not doing enough..what she has been saying are rubbish, without facts and half truth.
“Yong should be more concerned about her constituency. What has she done (looking for fund) to develop the area,” Lo, who is also Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) chairman, told a press conference yesterday.
The press conference was held after the full council meeting which was also attended by deputy chairman Datuk Ahmad Ibrahim and secretary Andrew Jores.
Lo disclosed that the council implemented 259 projects (both big and small) costing RM25 million this year.
“Within six months since becoming an elected representative, 13 projects costing RM2.6 million have also been implemented,” Lo said.
He mentioned improving the drainage system at St Ann’s Church in Kota Padawan at a cost of RM400,000 and another RM200,000 for a community hall at Kpg Betong in Jalan Landeh, as among the projects.
Lo added that RM400,000 (from his MRP grant) had been approved to improve the drainage system at Arang Road next year. He assured that more would be done next year.
“Ask Yong how much money she has brought to develop her constituency since becoming its elected representative..show us your report card.”
Lo also said the assessment collected by the council was inadequate for development, adding that it was only enough to maintain the overhead cost of the council.
He also said the assessment rate of the council would be reduced by RM2 million after Siburan, Beratok and Tapah were given to Serian.
Lo said he was taking Yong’s negative criticism as a challenge and vowed to bring more development to Padawan next year.
