DBKK orders SAPP's signboard to be down

DBKK wants signboard down containing 'forbidden word'

KOTA KINABALU, July 11, 2011: A tense 90-minute standoff between city hall enforcers and Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) leaders over a signboard ended with police mediation.

SAPP president Datuk Yong Teck Lee and dozens of his party supporters refused to allow Kota Kinabalu City Hall enforcement officers to remove the signboard bearing the words "bersih, benar, berani" to introduce their internet television and radio link.

The city hall issued a notice for the immediate removal of signboard at about 2.30pm and called in the Bomba to assist in using their ladder to reach the sign board on the second floor of three storey SAPP headquarters in Luyang at about 3.30pm.

This saw Yong fly into a rage and demanded from the firemen where was the fire for them come in. He accused them of abusing their powers.

The firemen in one fire truck immediately left as SAPP party men refused to allow city hall enforcement officers to remove the sign board with tensions continuing among party men and enforcers.

However, just before 5pm, Kota Kinabalu City police chief Asst Comm Ahmad Sofi Zakaria arrived and mediated between Yong and city hall's legal officer Sharul Izan.

Yong demanded that city hall give the standard two-week notice under the laws of natural justice for the removal of the signboard and the action for immediate removal was unfair and an abuse of power.

Sharul, however, argued that the signboard was illegal and may not be safe for the public and they were enpowered to remove it with or without notice.

However, Sharul later agreed to issue a fresh two-week notice to remove the signboard.

With Sofi as witness over the assurance of two-weeks notice, the situation cooled off.

Yong later told reporters that the move to immediately remove the signboard on a one-hour notice and call in the Bomba was an abuse and said that his party would look at the option legal redress once the notice is served.

On Saturday, city hall tried to remove the signboard but backoff after a similar standoff.

    Inilah akibatnya bila pihak berkuasa tempatan, pasukan keselamatan (polis, bomba dsb) tidak neutral. kuasa politik parti yg memerintah biasanya banyak terlibat samada dlm mempengaruhi atau juga dalam memberi tekanan politik. Dalam kes ini, memang jelas kuasa tekanan politik lebih besar dari mematuhi saluran undang2. saya bersetuju kpd YTL bahawa terdapat perbezaan antara menguatkuasakan/menjalankan prosidur undang2 dan menyalahgunakan prosidur undang2. dan secara nyata penyalahgunaan undang2 terlaku dalam kes ini. saya juga percaya bahawa selain dari kes ini, masih banyak lg kes2 penyalahgunaan kuasa diluar sana yg tidak dilaporkan. yang paling teruk dlm kes ini ialah mereka membabitkan pihak bomba sekali. (BOMBA & PENYELAMAT @ FIRE & RESCUE). Siapa yg mahu diselamatkan di sini. memalukan sungguh utk melihat bomba melibatkan diri.

    Beginilah keadaan pemerintahan UMNO-BN apabila sesuatu perkara yg mereka tidak senangi akan menggunakan/mobilise agensi2 kerajaan melaksanakan arahan atas kehendak mereka sebaliknya bukan kehendak prosedur kerajaan.

    Sekalipun mungkin terdapat pelanggaran dari segi peraturan DBKK, tetapi haruslah dilakukan secara diplomasi dengan penuh peradaban sepertimana yg diamalkan manusia waras. Signboard tersebut bukan "membahayakan" keselamatan orang awam atau mengganggu laluan awam tetapi ianya sekadar bersifat sementara dan akan ditanggalkan sebaik sahaja acara majlis pelancaran "SabahnetTv" SAPP telah selesai.

    Sikap kasar yg ditunjukkan kerajaan BN akan membayar jumlah harga yg tinggi dari aspek moral buruk ala gangster yg dipamerkan mereka terhadap setiap klien mereka khususnya SAPP.

    Episod ini bernasib baik mengena kepada SAPP, tetapi suatu hari nanti ia akan tetap mengena kepada para peniaga yg tidak berdosa akan teraniaya dengan tindakan DBKK yg tidak menggunakan "kepala otak" utk berfikir lebih matang sebelum bertindak tetapi mereka terdorong hawa nafsu berkobar kobar semata mata mahu "angkat kaki" kpd pemimpin BN/Umno utk mendapat ganjaran yg lumayan.

    人民今后要"黄巾起义"!
    Since UMNO and BN men said BERSIH2.0 is illegal,yellow is illegal and now in Sabah BERSIH is like illegal too.We must show otherwise with yellow and clean to prove they are wrong with 'yellow phobia' for UMNO even in coming GRE!

    Mari mulai sikarang setiap hari Sabtu kita akan berkuningkan apa jua.

    Langkah ni bulih ingatkan mereka yang kotor dan bodoh.Tidak BERSIH,BENAR,BERANI menghadapi tuntutan benar rakyat Sabah dan Malaysia.
    Juga pada hari Merdeka dan hari Malaysia akan datang atau hari peringatan perjuangan pemimpin 66 kita akan berkuningkan dengan apa jua cara.

    Memakai baju kuning,batik kuning atau hiasan kuning,topi kuning apa saja.Kalo bulih Penjaja yang sokong keadilan juga buat stor kuning!

    Apa susah sangat warna kuning dan perkataan BERSIH?Karajaan dan Penguatkuasa apa ni di Malaysia?

    Helmet keselamatan di tapak pembinaan juga bewarna kuning. Kadang-kala pekerja tapak pembinaan juga memakai but keselamatan kuning.

    SAPP ini sudah tahu isu BERSIH hangat mahu juga mengunakan perkataan BERSIH. Tidak ada perkataan lain lagikah selain BERSIH? Sendiri cari masalah jadi sendiri tanggunglah SAPP.

    oollin, apa masalah perkataan BERSIH? Ia hangat kerana umno/bn berasa tergugat dan tidak senang. sudahlah perkataan bersih pun sudah haram, sekarang warna kuning pun sudah haram nak pakai. saya rasa kesian dgn YDPA kita nak pakai warna kebesaran apa lg lepas ini. terpaksalah kali p tukar warna hijau.

    kalau warna kuning pun nak diharamkan, bukankah ini 'menderhaka' kepada raja kita?
