Call on Dato’ Mah Hang Soon Perak BN Govt. Exco member in charge of local govt. to solve the public transport woes in Manjung and others district

Media Statement

Call on Dato’ Mah Hang Soon Perak BN government Exco member in charge of local governments to solve the public transport woes in Manjung and other districts. PR is willing to offer its services for the sake of the people to solve the public transport woes though the state power has been taken from them.
__________________________________________________________

One of the top priorities when PR Perak became the state government in March 2008 was to solve the woes of public transportation in Perak. There were no flight services to Perak and bus services were poor or non-existent in many areas.

BN Perak Government had been debating for years whether to extend the Sultan Azlan Shah Airport and whether to build the Ipoh Central Public Transportation Hub in Perak. Meanwhile, the people of Perak were without flight services and public bus transport were poor or non-existent in many areas.

PR Perak Government sprang into action and concluded a deal with Firefly to fly between Ipoh, Singapore and Subang. Firefly is now flying regularly 2 flights a day in and out of Ipoh.

PR Perak government also gathered all the bus operators in Kinta Valley to form a company called The Combines Bus Services Sdn Bhd, which then concluded a deal with the Perak State Government to build the Ipoh Central Public Transportation Hub in Meru Raya. 250 new buses would replace the old buses and they will be plying Kinta Valley and to other parts of Perak and Malaysia within 2 years from the date of the Agreement.

PR Perak government was also finalizing an Agreement with a developer to develop Manjung Central public Transportation Hub in Seri Manjung in the Manjung District but the same was abruptly terminated with the grab of power which occurred on 6th February 2011.

More than 2 years have lapsed but we see very slow progress of Ipoh Central Public Transportation Hub taking shape. Old buses in Ipoh have yet to be replaced.
Last year, the BN Government announced a subsidy of RM70,000.00 per month for a bus company to operate in Manjung District and it was to commence operation the beginning of this year but nothing has materialized. The poor especially those who are sick continue to suffer. They could not go to the hospital with the cheaper mode of public bus transport. Many have to pay as much as RM30 per trip to the Manjung Hospital using taxis.

If BN Government does not know how to solve the public transport problem, the Pakatan Rakyat is willing to offer its services for the sake of the people though the state power has been taken away from us.

霹雳州生态工业中心是另一个国阵霹雳州政府所宣布的“空中楼阁”。

媒体文告

霹雳州生态工业中心是另一个国阵霹雳州政府所宣布的“空中楼阁”。拿督斯里赞比里应证明他可以解决霹州最简单的问题如在他自己的地区曼绒的公共交通和在一个月内签发土地续期租约如民联政府所作的一样。
__________________________________________________________

由国阵霹雳州州务大臣拿督斯里赞比里所宣布在霹雳州的一个生态工业中心将设在另一个国阵霹雳州政府所宣布的“空中楼阁”。

国阵霹雳州政府是众所周知宣布制作从未兑现的大型 “空中楼阁” 项目。这些上万元,上亿元的项目包括铝工厂,海湾石油工程,国际清真肉类中心,怡保蘇丹阿兹兰沙机场的航空游览,在端洛建设拥有个人飞机的豪华住宅,从红树林棕榈树生产乙醇(尼帕)和海藻项目等等。

国阵霹雳州政府试图以给霹雳州带来发展的印象来欺骗人民,而实际上它并没有带来发展。一个有兴趣的投资者的查询将会被宣告成该项目好像正在霹雳州进行。

民联霹雳州政府只有在一个项目的细节已经制订出来后,准备进行时才宣布。

国阵霹雳州政府在拿督斯里赞比里管理下甚至不能解决在他自己的地区曼绒的简单公共交通问题。

国阵政府已宣布公共巴士服务将在今年初开始实行,但是现在已经到了六月,我们还看不到任何的进展。

民联霹雳州政府已减少不必要的程序,并能在一个月内发出所申请的土地续期租约。我接到很多投诉,在国阵管理下,这些土地续期租约经过两年还没发出。

我呼吁拿督斯里赞比里真正为人民服务,而不是发布乐观的公告以欺骗人民。我希望人民可以清楚地看到,国阵攫取霹雳州是为了权力,而不是为人民服务。

Perak Eco Industrial Hub is another “pie in the sky” announcement by BN perak Government.

Media Statement


Perak Eco Industrial Hub is another “pie in the sky” announcement by BN perak Government. Dato’ Seri Zambry bin Abdul Kadir should prove himself by solving the simplest of the state problems like public transportation in his own house district of Manjung and issuing titles for renewal of expired leases within 1 month as was done by the PR Perak State Government.
________________________________________________________

The announcement by Dato’ Seri Dr. Zambry bin Abdul Kadir, BN Menteri Besar of Perak that an Eco Industrial Hub will be set up in Perak is another BN Perak Government’s “pie in the sky” announcement.

BN Perak Government is well known for making “pie in the sky” announcements of mega projects that never materialize. Amongst them, multi-million and multi-billion ringgits projects such as the Aluminium Plant, Gulf Petroleum Project, International Halal Meat Hub, Aerospace Tourism from the Ipoh Sultan Azlan Shah Airport, building luxury homes in Tronoh where residents own personal planes, producing ethanol from mangrove palms (Nipah) and the seaweed project. The list can go on.

BN Perak Government tries to give the impression that it has brought much development to Perak to deceive the people when in fact it has failed to do so. An inquiry from an interested investor is announced as if the project is taking off in Perak.

The PR Perak Government announced a project only after the details have been worked out and the project is ready to be launched.
BN Perak Government under Dato’ Seri Zambry cannot even solve the simple transport problem of his home district of Manjung.

The BN Government has announced last year that the public bus service will start operating at the beginning of this year but we see nothing out of the announcement though we are entering the month of June.

PR Perak Government has cut down unnecessary procedures and was able to issue new titles for renewal of expired land leases within 1 month after an application is made. I have received numerous complaints that such titles could not be issued even though 2 years have lapsed under BN rule.

I call on Dato’ Seri Zambry to actually serve the people rather than making rosy announcements to deceive the people . I hope the people can see clearly that the BN grab of power in Perak is for power and not to serve the people.
