Abdul Rahman Dahlan asks if the SAPP leader has even been to Kota Belud in the first place.
KUALA LUMPUR: Umno-Kota Belud MP Abdul Rahman Dahlan has attacked SAPP supreme council member Peter Marajin over what the former claimed were baseless accusations.
The Sabahan MP asked if Marajin – who claimed nothing was being done in Kota Belud – had visited his constituency in the first place.
“This Peter Marajin, I don’t know what he’s talking about. The federal government has easily allocated RM120 million, and [the development] is there. If he cannot see what has been done, he has to see an optometrist, he better check his eyes,” he told FMT.
Abdul Rahman said that since allocations there were approved, various agricultural methods including tunneling and irrigation measures had been carried out.
He added that these measures were needed to help water the paddy fields there; part of an initiative to reduce Sabah’s dependency on imported rice.
He was referring to a recent FMT article where Marajin criticised him for preferring to speak on federal and economic matters than focusing on his own constituency.
The SAPP leader also claimed that nothing had been done to ease the area’s traffic congestion.
These allegations appeared to bewilder the Kota Belud MP, who said that he had tried to build alternative exit roads for the Kota Belud town.
“I managed to get allocation to build these roads, but at the end of the day, some land acquistion needed to be done, but the people were not willing to let go of the land,” he said.
He added that after fierce opposition criticism, the government decided not to go ahead with construction, and withdrew the allocations.
Abdul Rahman then stressed that it was his job as an MP to speak on national issues, even if they had nothing to do with Kota Belud.
“Who’s going to talk about national issues if not the MPs? We are the ones who are responsible to pass the national budget. If you don’t get your MPs to talk about this, who is going to talk about it?
“We don’t talk about state issues alone, we have to talk about national issues because we are at the federal level,” he said tiredly.
Abdul Rahman then said that if Marajin did not believe him, he was willing to let his officers show the SAPP man around his constituency.
He however claimed that Marajin was eyeing the Kedamaian state assembly seat, adding that the letter was merely “playing hero”.

I think this umno crook MP is blind. He says millions allocation for KB to do this and that but nothing to be seen.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, another umno's empty promise.
Furthermore, this umno crook Kota Belud MP says he is talking more on the national issue but not state issue. I wonder MP for Kota belud or a new MP for Malaysia?
His own Kota belud constituency also cannot take care and yet want to take care of the whole Malaysia?
This UMNO MP crook must be day dreaming for the past 5 years.
Sabahan orang .... your response is only 40 correct, nice try though.
DeleteThis MP is an idiot... I can say 120 billion was allocated to KB... ya, allocated.. but the issue here, have you used the allocation to developed KB ? If you want to open your mouth, justify what the 120m spent on! We want to know. Jawab ? Jawab ?...

DeleteIn Budget 2013, Najib announced an expenditure of RM140 million to develop four additional granaries covering 19,000 hectares include Kota Belud.When this granary are opened, they will be gazetted as Integrated Agricultural Development Areas.

DeleteFrankly speaking, KB people need the Tambatuon Dam sooner than later. Kg Tambatuon folks must sacrifice for the welfare of all KB people. I am sure all of you will be fairly compensated by the BN caring govt.
DeletePeter Marajin must be seen as a worthy alternative to Datuk Rahman by disclosing what he can do better to make the life of KB people worth to live. meaning, you don't have to attack Rahman to win the heart of the people.

ReplyDeleteMalaysia's leader warned voters that their country risks economic collapse if the opposition wins national elections that must be held by mid-2013.
ReplyDeletePrime Minister Najib Razak opened his ruling party's annual congress with a forceful speech urging supporters to brace for what is expected to be one of Malaysia's most intensely fought elections since independence from Britain in 1957.
DeleteNajib's United Malays National Organization is determined to reverse setbacks from 2008 polls that triggered the multiethnic government coalition's worst performance in more than five decades of uninterrupted rule.
DeleteNajib accused the opposition in a nationally televised speech of banking on false promises to sway voters. He predicted the national debt would soar and Malaysia would lose its economic sovereignty within three years if the opposition wins power.
Delete"Without accurate, careful and critical evaluation, changing the government would be like trusting the mouse to repair the pumpkin or the wolf to safeguard the sheep," Najib told thousands of party officials at their headquarters.
DeleteHe told party loyalists to battle hard for every vote, stressing that the polls would "be no ordinary elections; it will be the deciding point for the destiny of our people and country."
DeleteOpposition lawmaker Tony Pua rejected Najib's warning, saying the prime minister was "desperate to scare" voters with his claim that an opposition-led Malaysia would become like Greece.
Delete"It is the (government) with its continued profligacy that will cause the country to be bankrupt if it is voted back into power," he said.
DeleteCritics say Malaysia's ruling coalition had become complacent and corrupt before it lost its longtime two-thirds parliamentary majority in 2008 and was forced to surrender control of several key Malaysian states to opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim's three-party alliance.
DeleteNajib must dissolve Parliament by the end of April to pave the way for the next elections. Speculation about early polls has swirled for nearly two years, but the prime minister has refused to reveal his plans for the election's timing.
DeleteGovernment authorities have intensified efforts to win back support over the past year with measures such as channeling more funds to the poor and abolishing security laws that were widely considered repressive.
DeleteThe opposition insists that only a change of government will resolve problems like graft and racial discrimination.
DeleteBut most analysts believe Najib's ruling coalition will still have the upper hand because of its entrenched support in predominantly rural constituencies.
DeleteUmno deputy president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has taken a potshot at PAS and DAP, whom he claims are still entrenched in racial and religious sentiments while being markedly different in terms ideology and political beliefs.
ReplyDeleteIn his speech while officiating the simultaneous launch of the three Umno wings at the party’s general assembly tonight, he said PAS and DAP, after having fought among themselves, are now painting a rosy picture of mutual cooperation, a 'poor copy' of the cooperation enjoyed by Barisan Nasional.
Delete"Basically, all the roles and lead actors want to dominate the plot and storyline, as well as spearhead the whole thing.
Delete"Up till today, PAS and DAP are still at odds, arguing over everything and squabbling over obviously different ideologies," he said.
DeleteHe said in BN's five decades of governing the country, the agreement that BN component parties established has never been breached.
Delete
Delete"This is all done on the basis of shallow political interests without taking into account its impact upon the unity of our multicultural makeup," he said.
"The pledge to cooperate and share the responsibility has never been abused. We have always nurtured this principle and made it the root of BN’s strength.
Delete"Even though we have occasionally faced challenges and demands, BN's negotiation table has always been able to offer a solution to everything related to the interests of all races. This is why Malaysia has remained peaceful, stable and prosperous to this day.
Delete"Even so, there are those who remain stubborn and extreme in both their thoughts and political act; they are constantly fanning the flames of racial hatred and narrow-minded religious views to garner political mileage," he said.
DeleteMuhyiddin cited the example of PAS accusing Umno as being a secular and 'infidel' party because BN cooperated with non-Muslim partners within the coalition.
Delete"The same thing happens to MCA, MIC and other component parties within BN. When they accept Umno’s stand in matters relating to Malay rights, DAP doesn’t hesitate in accusing them as weak, or spineless; parties which are willing to shelve the interests of the non-Malays just to enjoy the benefits of power-sharing.
Delete"DAP has also accused Umno of being a racist party, an ultra-Malay party just to stoke racial hatred amongst non-Malays towards Umno and BN. PAS and DAP are doing this to attract the attention of a select group into their ranks."
Delete"PAS also uses narrow religious sentiments to incite the Malays into hating Umno and support them instead.
