MPAJ adalah simbol pemerentah yang korup Mac 27, 2008

Jika kita google perkataan MPAJ, maka kita akan ketemu dengan ratusan berita, blog, forum yang melaporkan salah guna kuasa oleh Majlis Perbandaran Ampang Jaya. Ini semua nya tidak dipedulikan oleh ahli ahli Majlis yang dilantik oleh Barisan Nasional.

Saya masih ingat lagi cerita seorang rakan, seorang keturunan raja, menyifatkan pucuk pimpinan BN, UMNO khusus nya, hari ini tidak ubah seperti pemerentahan oleh sultan dan raja di negeri negeri Melayu sejak kurun 14. Kesultanan Melayu pada ketika itu hanya berminat untuk menjaga kepentingan istana, orang orang raja (the inner circle) dan kebajikan rakyat adalah jauh daripada ingatan mereka. Hikayat Abdullah Munshi melalui buku nya Pelayaran Abdullah Munshi mensahkan(validate) pendapat rakan saya ini. Selain daripada Sultan, orang orang Sultan juga mempunyai kuasa dan mereka ini adalah bekas penjenayah yang diampunkan oleh sultan dengan syarat mereka mengangkat sumpah setia kepada sultan dan dengan itu dilantik menjadi orang kanan. Orang sultan ini apabila berjalan ke kampung kampung dan ternampak buah buahan milik orang kampung maka ianya diturunkan dan menganggap itu hak mereka. Kemudian jika ternampak wanita jelita, tidak kiralah ianya isteri orang, maka disambar nya. Ini tidak lah ubah nya seperti peri laku pemimpin BN hari ini.

Cuba kita renongkan berita yang saya muat turun daripada akhbar the Star hari ini seperti berikut:

State government puts two hillside development projects on hold

By ELAN PERUMAL

KUALA LUMPUR: Two hillside projects in Bukit Antarabangsa approved by the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council soon after the general election have been put on hold.

Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim said a review would be carried out in line with the new Selangor government’s go-slow policy on hillside development.

In a press conference after chairing his first state executive council meeting yesterday, Khalid said the state would also investigate why the projects were approved.

State local government exco member Ronnie Liu, who has been tasked to look into the matter, said the developers of the projects were not to carry on with work until further notice.

He said the first project, for which approval was given on March 10, involved 194 bungalows and 410 units of shops and offices at Taman Hijau, Menara Mutiara, Taman Tar and Ukay Heights. The second, approved on March 18, incorporates 21 units of bungalows.

“We are curious why the council approved the projects after the general election,” Liu said, adding that the state government is looking into the matter after receiving complaints from nearby residents.

“I will visit the site together with the council’s president, Datuk Mohamed Yacob, and officials, including those responsible for granting the approvals.”

He said a final decision would be taken after the visit and following meetings with the officials and residents.

Liu said the state was wary of hillside development, especially at Bukit Antarabangsa, which was considered as a “black area” under constant threat of landslide. Among the worst was the Highland Towers tragedy of 1993.
