Putatan flood mitigation is SAPP government priority

PUTATAN, December 11, 2012: Speaking at the "Bangunlah Untuk Sabah" meet-the-people session at Taman Bersatu here in Putatan, Datuk Richard Yong said SAPP will place solving the flood problem in Putatan as a top priority. There is obviously no proper drainage management where you see drains were filled with overgrown vegetation and blockage by rubbish causes flood each time there is a heavy down pour. Even newly constructed drains at Putatan town were not serving its purpose due to blockage by gravel, sand and rubbish.

A resident there submitted his complaint to SAPP saying that they are tired of complaining to the authority because the authority seems to have turned a blind eye to the problem and not performing their duties in clearing drains, cutting of grass and regular collection of garbage.
Datuk Richard Yong who is also the chairman of SAPP Tanjung Aru CLC said once SAPP formed the next government will place some of these basic problems as top priorities. Richard cited the Likas flood mitigation flood gate as a perfect example which help solved flooding problem in the area. The flood gate was constructed more than 20 years ago when Datuk Yong Teck Lee was Likas Assemblyman. There is no reason why the same could not be done for the Putatan and Petagas area. Unfortunately the people's representatives have been providing only lips service. It is totally unfair for the long-serving YBs leaving the people to suffer and endure all these years over some basic problems.

Richard said, "The other priority would be the provision of affordable housings to resolve the squatter problems in the area. The BN government had allowed the squatter houses to mushroom without check. This leads to serious social and security problems in the area. The squatters also heightened the garbage and cleanliness problems.

Richard exclaimed that the people have lost their hope and patience on the present government and it is time to rise and "Bangunlah Untuk Sabah" for autonomy and for better future. The crowd responded with "Ini Kalilah!"

SAPP President Datuk Seri Panglima Yong Teck Lee in his speech called for the unity of Sabah people because in order to topple BN government, we need solidarity and unity of the people.

SAPP's leaders had given up government positions to be with the people to strive for change which could only happen when Sabah wins more autonomy to manage its land and resources.

  1. Terdapat dua kesalahan yang dilakukan oleh presiden SAPP ketika pilihanraya umum 1999 sehingga mahkamah memutuskan untuk membatalkan keputusan pilihanraya bagi DUN Likas serta membatalkan kelayakan Datuk Yong Teck Lee untuk bertanding selama 5 tahun.

  2. Pada pilihan raya yang diadakan pada 12 Mac 1999, bekas Ketua Menteri, Datuk Yong Teck Lee, yang bertanding atas tiket Barisan Nasional (BN) berjaya mempertahankan kerusi Likas setelah memperoleh 9,110 undi dengan kelebihan 4,962 undi.

  3. Pada Jun 2001, Mahkamah Tinggi Kota Kinabalu telah mengisytiharkan keputusan Pilihanraya bagi kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Likas yang diadakan pada tahun 1999 sebagai batal kerana terdapat pengundi hantu yang tidak wujud dalam daftar pemilih kawasan itu.

    1. Petisyen Harris itu mendakwa terdapat parti yang memasang empat papan pameran di sekitar kawasan pusat mengundi Likas dan tindakan itu melanggar Akta Kesalahan-Kesalahan Pilihan Raya 1954.

  5. Mengenai petisyen yang dikemukakan oleh Harris, Hakim Muhammad Kamil berkata, berdasarkan kepada seluruh keterangan, beliau mendapati Yong selaku responden telah melakukan kesalahan mengikut Seksyen 11 (c) dan (d) serta Seksyen 32 Akta Kesalahan-Kesalahan Pilihan Raya.

  6. Sekiranya SAPP diberikan mandat memerintah negeri ini selepas PRU13, sudah tentu mereka akan berkuasa selama-lamanya kerana rekod lampau Datuk Yong Teck Lee telah membuktikan bahawa beliau akan menggunakan taktik kotor sebagaimana yang dilakukan oleh beliau ketika pilihanraya 1999.
