MIRI: Barisan Nasional legislators in some constituencies are bearing the brunt of people’s disappointment over the sloppy and uncaring attitude of certain government officials.
Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Dr George Chan, who is Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) president, yesterday said Barisan assemblymen were “being made to look bad” because of the poor performance of some civil servants.
Dr Chan yesterday had a heart-to-heart chat with village chiefs at Miri SUPP headquarters about the latest happenings.
He said some people were not happy because some of them had their problems left unattended for six years.
“I hear your frustrations clearly. You are right to voice out your disappointments,” he said.
During the meeting, several village chiefs openly criticised the uncaring attitude of some government officials.
Kampung Pujut Tanjong Batu Residents Committee secretary Abdullah Enn told Dr Chan that government bodies such as the District Office, Resident’s Office, Land and Survey Department and others did not seem to take people’s issues seriously.
“There were cases of villagers complaining about lack of electricity and piped water, flooded roads and lack of communal amenities, but we didn’t get any reply for six years. Every time we asked for their replies, we were told to submit fresh applications, to fill new forms and on.
“The Prime Minister and the Government keep announcing projects costing billions of ringgit, but when villagers ask for very basic things, we do not get even a reply,” he said.
Abdullah said there were cases where some village roads were flooded for three days but no remedial action was taken by anyone.
“Politicians must find out what is happening in these government departments. Make sure the staff take the people seriously,” he said.
When asked for his comments after the meeting, Dr Chan said the people’s views must be looked into.
He said there was a communication breakdown between some government departments and the people, and he admitted that the people were getting frustrated over the delivery of some projects.
He said department heads should give a reply to the people in three months at the latest if they received an important request. He also urged departments to be honest especially when they do not have money to get things done.
“Some departments still use paper files to record down people’s applications and complaints and they get misplaced all the time. They should use computers and install a system to remind them of the deadlines for urgent cases,” he said.
Sarawak memerlukan jurutera jalan raya yang lebih efisen dan kreatif. Buat jalan, buat longkang, tapi pengaliran air drpd jalan raya ke longkang sik ada. Perlukah rakyat Sarawak nunggu 10 tahun sebelum Datuk Yong buat penilaian baharu? Jalan (JKR), longkang (DID), pembersihan jalan raya (MBM), hujan (MOSTI), bersih lon…gkang (Alam Sekitar).. byk juak menteri diperlukan molah kerja tok.
The road is named after the first Malaysian Prime Minister. The condition is probably not as grand as the ex-Prime Minister.
Don’t blame it on the weather or the monsoon season. It doesn’t take a day of non-stop rain to cause this road, Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman in Miri City, to get flooded.
No drain? Yes it does have, and as a matter of fact, it has drain up to the traffic lights at Servay Supermarket. But why the flooding or pool of water happen?
Simply because there is no inlet from the road to the drain! Plain simple, kan? Or if it does have, at some portion of the stretch, its clogged with sand or rubbish.
How long has this been going on? Years my friend, year in and year out. Bet they’ll wait for Rich Venture to finish the dual carriage highway, then to ‘extend’ their contract to include a proper drainage system for this jurassic problem.
Why is it so difficult to build water inlet to the main drain for roads in Miri? Do we need a Super Engineer to redesign our road and its drainage system?
The next thing we know is that the rakyat will blame the Yang Berhormat for this issue! Kesian YB YB.. Tapi apa-apa pun, YB YB sekalian, kalau boleh tolong uruskan hal ini dengan secepat mungkin sebab perkara ini sudah bertahun lama nya berlaku. Mungkin YB YB sekalian tidak tinggal dikawasan ini dan mungkin hanya berada di kawasan ini jika ada urusan rasmi kerajaan, jangan lah bagi alasan tidak ada peruntukkan. Tu dah cerita lama.
