KUCHING:
Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) chairman Lo Khere Chiang has lashed out
at DAP’s Violet Yong after she accused him of not doing his job in
Stapok Resettlement Scheme.
Lo said having been MPP chairman for several years, this year was the first time that MPP was allocated RM30 million under the Malaysian Road Records Information System (Marris) for road-upgrading projects within MPP’s jurisdiction, which covers his own Batu Kitang constituency as well as Batu Kawa constituency.
He said aside from the RM30 million, a further RM24 million has also been allocated to MPP this year to upgrade the earth drainage system.
“And this is just the first year for myself and (Datuk) Dr Sim (Kui Hian) as elected representatives for the two seats.
“Both of us are trying our best to improve and upgrade the drainage system within our area, and works are being carried out in priority areas like Arang Road, RPR Batu Kawa and Desa Wira.
“Dr Sim has been instrumental in getting all these allocations. But what has DAP done in the area over the last five years when they won the Batu Kawa seat in 2011?” he queried.
Lo said MPP had looked into the whole earth drainage system in Stapok area and not just in one resettlement area.
He said it requires at least RM60 million to improve the whole drainage system in Stapok.
“This thing cannot be done within one year. Not even Violet, not even DAP, can do it within a year.
“Both Dr Sim and I are only slightly more than a year as the YBs of Batu Kawa and Batu Kitang and we try to do our best to bring more development to our areas,” he said.
Lo said Yong, who is Pending assemblywoman, had come all the way from Pending to nonsensically attack him, MPP and Dr Sim, who is Minister of Local Government and Housing, in the Chinese media.
“It is unfortunate that I have to waste my time to reply to her (Yong) ridiculous statement against me and Dr Sim.
“Violet and the rest of DAP like to mislead people, creating all kinds of nonsense for political mileage,” he told The Borneo Post yesterday in response to an article published in a local Chinese daily recently.
Lo went on to suggest that Yong spend more time in her constituency rather than try to create misunderstanding among the people in Batu Kitang and Batu Kawa with her ‘nonsense’ statement.
