PRESS CONFERENCE ON 25-05-2013


Letter to Penang CM, Mr. Lim Guan Eng – Is Penang truly a CAT government?

Dear Mr. Lim Guan Eng,

My heartiest congratulations for your recapturing of Penang state.    I am a strong supporter of Pakatan Rakyat.   Before I proceed, briefly the following are my humble and little contributions for Pakatan Rakyat:-

1). In 2008 General Election, I was the Ketua Paca for YB Raveentharan (Batu Uban);

2). In 2008 Permatang Pauh Parliamentary by election, I offered my house to be one of the Keadilan Bilik Gerakan for Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim;

3). In 2011 Sarawak 10th State Election, I went to Sarawak from 5th April till 16th April using my own fund and fund given by Hashers to campaign for the following candidates:-

i). Noraini Hamzah (PAS) -  candidate for N15  (Muara Tuang); 
ii). Willie Mongin (PKR) – candidate for N16 (Bengoh);

iii). Late Peter Ato (PKR) – candidate for N17 (Tarat); and

iv) Dr. Christopher Kiyu (PKR) – candidate for N18 (Tepedu).

4). In 2013 General Election, I went to campaign for Willie Mongin – PKR candidate for P198 (Mambong), Sarawak from 27th April till 5th May.

I am not a politician but the reason I started to help Pakatan Rakyat is because my biological son who is now 12 years was taken away from me since 2008 due to unjust judiciary system.  I made numerous official complaints against four (4) High Court judges to the Chief Justice, Prime Minister and Law Minister but it was like  a “dog barking at the wall”.   

I am a double degree holder and a qualified lawyer but yet the court has denied me access to see my own biological son.    Even a prisoner is given access to see their children.  Where is the justice?

Therefore, I concluded that the only way to get justice for my case is to change the government.    So, I decided to help Pakatan Rakyat since 2008.   It was the most happiest moment for me and for most Malaysians when Pakatan Rakyat captured five (5) states.      But now, it is sad that Pakatan Rakyat left with only three (3) states.

In Penang, you only managed to capture one (1) extra State seat but loss one (1) Parliament seat.     Your popular votes only increased from 63% to 66% in Penang.  If your CAT (Competency, Accountability and Transperence) government have truly delivered during the previous five (5) years, I believe that you should have captured more State and Parliament seats in Penang. Whatever emails, ceramahs and evidence given to the Rakyat by Pakatan Rakyat (PR) in regards to all the wrongdoings of BN government, still there are Rakyat who trusted and voted for BN.   Why?  

I just would like focus my personal encounter with you and your so-called CAT government.   With your CAT slogan, it sounds that Penang government under your leadership is the most trusworthy and reliable government in which all Rakyat can trust you and your government.     But after analysing your CAT slogan, it is my opinion that it is almost similar to Mahathir’s slogan - BERSIH, CEKAP & AMANAH.   

However, I  beg to difer from your view that you have successfully implemented CAT principles in your Penang government.    My two (2) main facts and reasons are as follows:-

A.  DIRTY ENVIRONMENT IN SEBERANG JAYA, PENANG 

1). On 22-04-2013 at about 10pm a cobra (“ular Senduk”) entered my house compound but my dog and my father-in-law managed to kill the snake.    Thank God nothing happen to my six (6) year old son from my second marriage.    Can you imagine what trauma I have to go through if the snake would have bitten my son, 1st son was taken away due to unjust judiciary system and 2nd son was taken away due to your CAT government who did not clean-up my house surrounding despite numerous complaints. I wonder your government is truly a CAT government?  This is the photo of the snake :-
 
2). On 23-04-2013 morning, I wanted to call for a press conference but I stopped it because I didn’t want this issue to backfire Pakatan Rakyat election campaign since I am a strong supporter of Pakatan Rakyat.

3). So I decided to write a letter to the YDP MPSP (Majlis Perbandaran Seberang Perai), Puan Maimunah Mohd Sharif and went to meet her at about 4pm on 23-04-2013.   Her secretary told me that I cannot meet her without an appoinment.   So I told the secretary that if the YDP doesn’t want to meet me, then I have no choice but to call for a press conference.    Then the YDP decided to meet me.    She made me wait for 1 hour.    While waiting for her, the secretary came-out a few times asking for some details and I saw at least four (4) officers walked in to the YDP office.    I presume that the YDP wanted to know the details of my complaint and try to figure out what to reply.

4). At about 5pm, I was called in by the YDP and she told me that the drain behind my house is under JPS and she will forward my complaint to JPS.    Then, I just told her that I have been complaining about the dirty monsooon drain behind my house since 2004 and why MPSP did not take any action till to date.  

  Then she told me that I must understand that she only took office in 2011 and ask me to give her an opportunity to take action. 

  Then, I showed her the letter dated 16-05-2012 which was sent to her and cc copied to Mr. Lim Guan Eng, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (MP for Permatang Pauh) and Datuk Arif Shah (ADUN for Seberang Jaya).    Only YB Datuk Arif Shah contacted me, neither you or Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim took any action although next to both your names I stated “SEBAGAI WAKIL DAN PEMIMPIN RAKYAT, SILA AMBIL TINDAKAN”.     How come my voice who is a strong supporter of Pakatan Rakyat was not heard by both of you although both of you are championing that “SUARA RAKYAT, SUARA KERAMAT” :-

5). After seeing the letter, she kept quiet.    Then, I just asked her to acknowledge receipt my letter and told her that if by tomorrow morning (24-04-2013) before 10am if she doesn’t do anything about it, I will call for a press conference.

6). At about 7pm on 23-04-2013, Mr. Raju who acknowledge himself as MPSP staff  called my HP.    He told me that he will go to my house that evening itself and check.     Then, the next morning Mr. Raju brought a few workers cleared a small portion of the bushes at the monsoon drain and laid sulphur at the boundary of my house.      

7). It has been more than one (1) month, the monsoon drain behind my house is still not cleaned-up.


8). In your Press Conference Statement on 07-05-2013, you mentioned the following :-

 “we have delivered in the previous 5 years, we shall continue to do so for the next 5 years
You also claim that your CAT government have successfully made Penang a Cleaner, Greener, Safer and Healthier than ever in the past 5 years.       
  
But on 21-07-2011, it was reported in the newspaper that a 19 year old youth died in Minden Heights from dengue.
9). What have your CAT government delivered?  As for me you only delivered a cobra snake (“ular senduk) to my house despite of all my personal complaints to you about the “Dirty Environment” surrounding my house which were as follows:-

1). My letter to you dated10-04-2008 :-

2). My email to you dated 18-11-2008 :-
3). My letter cc copied to you dated 16-05-2012 :-

10). However, till to date you did not respond and act on any of my correpondences but on 07-05-2013 you claim that for the past five (5) years you have delivered.    Please Mr. Lim, “Practice What You Preach” and “Walk TheTalk”.    There is a saying :-

You can fool some people, all the time,
You can fool all the people, some of the time,
But you cannot fool all the people all the time.”

11) Please look at the following photographs and tell whether your CAT government have delivered and made Penang a Cleaner, Greener, Safer and Healthier than ever in the past five (5) years?
`
12). If your government was truly a CAT government, you should have appointed individuals who are competent, accountable and willing to be transparent and NOT pushing the blame to others (JPS).    If JPS failed/refused to clean-up the monsoon drain behind my house, MPSP who claim to be a competent and accountable organisation under your ruling government should have done it and backcharge to JPS.   If JPS doesn’t want to pay the backcharges, MPSP should take JPS to court.      In summary, I pay my yearly assesment to MPSP and it is the utmost duty of MPSP under your ruling government to ensure the environment of my house is clean.    

13). If we Penangites don’t pay our assesment, MPSP impose penalty even one (1) day delay and if we still don’t pay, we are taken to court.    But when we complaint, your CAT government don’t do anything about it.   Looks like your CAT government is more interested in collecting money from us rather than solving our problems.    What is the point of your CAT government having RM1.2 billion when you are not able to solve your Rakyat’s problem.    Please be informed that the money your CAT government has accumulated is valueless if you don’t use it to solve your Rakyat’s problem.

14). I have travelled to US, Europe, UK, Australia, China, Taiwan and Singapore which I strongly believe those countries have reached the status of Clean, Green, Safe and Healthy environment but I have never seen a single sign board advertising about it.     Mr. Lim, you offered yourself to be our Chief Minister and we Penangites made you the Chief Minister.  So, it is your utmost duty as our Wakil Rakyat to ensure that our Penang is 100% clean and please stop putting up billboards which is misleading and doesn’t reflect the truth.    

15). I suggest that your CAT government should immediately remove all your false advertisements.    It doesn’t make sense at all!    Please don’t waste our Penangites money to put up billboards because you can use the cost of one (1) billboard to buy one (1) month groceries for one (1) poor family. 

16).    In your presss conference dated 7-5-2013 you also mentioned the following :-

We will seek and also make  Penang a regional education hub by building Penang Learning Centers in all districts and establish Penang as a center of excellence for science and technology through the Penang Science Cluster and the RM25 million Tech-Dome initiative. attracting world-class educational institutions such as the Asian Women’s Leadership University (AWLU).”

“We are now the most liveable in Malaysia and fourth best place to retire in the world.”

If your Penang is still dirty, how can you attract world-class educational institutions and make people to retire in Penang?   I believe you can only attract rats, snakes, iguana, etc. which is happening in my house.     Please get the basic right in ensuring that every Penangites truly enjoys a Cleaner, Greener, Safer and Healthier environment before attracting others.    Since the day I came to this world and since I started schooling, cleanliness was the most important subject.      Even you have agreed with me in your speech whereby you said “making Penang liveable by being clean, green safe and healthy remains top on our agenda”.     So, I sincerely urge you to Practice What You Preach” and “Walk The Talk” .


B). SG. NYIOR TOLL
During the 2008 election,  you have made the Sg. Nyior Toll as one of the major issue for your election campaign – “TOL SG. NYIOR-BN HISAP DARAH”.    Since you have been promoting CAT principles, please explain during the past five (5) years what are the actions/steps you have taken to abolish the Sg. Nyior toll in your capacity as the Chief Minister of Penang and Member of Parliament for Bagan.    This is the letter dated 16-5-2012 which I have written to you but you didn’t reply at all.    Where is your ACCOUNTABILITY?

In conclusion, I have to call for this press conference because you did not take any action despite my numerous letters to you until a cobra snake entered my house compound.     I just hope that you will take this letter in a POSITIVE and CONSTRUCTIVE manner and do something about it rather than pushing the blame to the Federal government.       I believe that Penang state government has enough fund to clean-up Penang and buy over the privatized highways from the concessionaires.    If the fund is not sufficient, then I suggest that you raise fund from the Penangites llikewise your party did during the recent election.

Mr. Lim, before you want to capture Putrajaya, please fully concentrate and resolve all your Penang Rakyat’s problem which is within your means.     Please remember charity begins from home and leadership is by example.   I believe once you have proved yourself as a competent leader by truly cleaning-up Penang and removing Sg. Nyior toll, all the Rakyat from Penang and other states will look-up to you and will definately give full support to Pakatan Rakyat in the next election.

At the end of the day, we Rakyat wants a leader who are truthful with full of goodness and character/integrity but NOT a leader to have only “appearance” of good.    Singapore which was part of Malaysia is now rated as one of the cleanness country in the world is because of their leaders who physically took the lead in cleaning-up  Singapore.    If your CAT government don’t have the knowledge to clean-up Penang, you can seek help from Singapore government to guide you and teach you the system.

I suggest that the MPSP should stop collecting assessment from the residents in Taman Sembilang, Seberang Jaya until they have cleaned-up the places which I have highlighted in this letter.

I hope without any nepotism and cronyism practices, your CAT government will act on it immediately on an urgent basis by appointing COMPETENT, ACCOUNTABLE and TRANSPARENT individuals who are qualified, sensitive and compassionate towards Rakyat’s problems and have the willingness to resolve the problems at the shortest period of time.

However, your CAT government has been given another five (5) years to prove yourselves and I hope that your CAT government won’t be end up being labelled as a “PUSSY CAT” government.    Because if the environment in Penang continues to be dirty, it might end up as a breeding place for more stray cats like this:-

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.” - Buddha

Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
PAUL RAJ SAMY RAJ
Seberang Jaya, PENANG.
