LAYAK KAH PONDOK USANG INI DIGELAR BALAI RAYA..?

Balai Raya adalah salah satu kemudahan yang disediakan untuk penduduk kampung berkumpul dan bermesyuarat dalam membincangkan perihal kampung. Selain itu juga balai raya ini digunakan untuk majlis keramaian tertentu.

Begini la rupa sebuah balai raya yang sempat kami singgahi petang td...balai raya yang terletak kira2 sejam perjalanan dari sebuah Bandar raya yang terkenal dengan hasil minyak dan tempat2 perlancong.... kesian rakyat...negeri kaya dengan hasil bumi tapi dari segi pembangunan infrastruktur...mereka masih jauh ketinggalan....

Keadaan balai raya di kampung ini terlalu teruk dan perlu perhatian daripada kerajaan bagi memastikan kemudahan ini dapat dijaga dan digunakan oleh penduduk setempat.Lihat sahaja bagaimana tandas di balai raya ini..?sanggup kah anda masuk dan membuang air di dalam tandas usang yang menanti masa untuk roboh..? lebih mendukacitakan keadaan bumbung balai raya itu juga bocor hingga menyebabkan air menyerap ke siling dan masuk ke dalam balai raya itu dan jika kita biarkan balai raya ini,kita bimbang kemudahan ini gagal berfungsi dengan baik apabila diperlukan...

MODEL ? MODEL KE MODAL..?

Model Ekonomi Baru (MEB) Najib jadikan POS M'sia mangsa awal!

Melalui dasar MEB (NEP) kerajaan telah meluluskan untuk melepaskan pegangan saham @ ekuitinya dalam Khazanah Negara kepada pihak-pihak asing termasuk luar negara.

Syarikat GLC seperti TNB, TELEKOM, POS, KTM dan lain-lain akan dikuasai lebih 30% pegangan sahamnya oleh pihak asing atas nama globalisasi, meningkatkan kecekapan serta membawa masuk modal asing ke Malaysia.

Hakikatnya pengumuman kenaikan gaji 11%-19% kpd staff POS M'sia hanyalah 'gimmick' dan gula2 shj sebelum POS For Sale dilaksanakan. Kesian nasib Posmen kerana 18 tahun diswastakan masih diberi gaji minima RM650 sebulan! Naik 11%-19% pun masih belum mencecah RM1000! Pekerja miskin di negara kaya.

Peruntukan pembangunan bukan janji pilihan raya

HULU SELANGOR 4 April - Peruntukan pembangunan yang dijanjikan untuk penduduk di kawasan Parlimen ini bukanlah 'janji pilihan raya' sebaliknya ia merupakan tanggungjawab kerajaan kepada rakyat.

Menteri Kemajuan Luar Bandar dan Wilayah, Datuk Seri Mohd. Shafie Apdal berkata, peruntukan tersebut sememangnya terdapat dalam perancangan kerajaan cuma pengumumannya dilakukan ketika ini yang kebetulan akan berlaku pilihan raya kecil.
"Sebagai contoh, saya ke Tenom, Sabah baru-baru ini dan umumkan peruntukan sebanyak RM40 juta. Bukan ada pilihan raya di sana pun.
"Jadi semua ini bukan kerana pilihan raya tetapi kerana tanggungjawab kerajaan untuk bangunkan kawasan-kawasan pedalaman secara berterusan. Kerajaan ada banyak lagi perancangan dan akan dilaksanakan di seluruh negara, bukan di Hulu Selangor saja," katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian pada sidang akhbar selepas program ramah mesra bersama Orang Asli@1Malaysia di Kampung Orang Asli Hulu Tamu, Batang Kali di sini hari ini.
Shafie diminta mengulas kenyataan Menteri Besar, Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim yang mendakwa Barisan Nasional (BN) menabur 'janji pilihan raya' bagi merampas semula kerusi Parlimen Hulu Selangor.
Abdul Khalid semalam turut mencabar BN untuk terus menabur lebih banyak janji kepada pengundi di Hulu Selangor menjelang hari pengundian 25 April ini, termasuk mendirikan universiti di kawasan itu.
Sementara itu Shafie yang juga Naib Presiden UMNO menambah, dakwaan seperti itu membuktikan pakatan pembangkang ketandusan idea sehingga terpaksa membangkitkan isu berkenaan.
"Kita bukan seperti pembangkang yang janji macam-macam tetapi tidak ditunaikan.
"Konon mahu adil tetapi kelas Tabika Kemas (Jabatan Kemajuan Masyarakat) yang murid-muridnya bukan ahli UMNO pun mereka tutup," ujarnya.
Ditanya peluang BN untuk merampas kerusi Parlimen itu, Shafie hanya berkata, apa yang penting semua pihak perlu bekerja kuat.
"Segalanya terletak kepada Pengerusi BN (Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak) yang sudah serahkan pada timbalan beliau untuk buat pengumuman. Apa yang penting, kita di bawah harus bekerja kuat pastikan kemenangan berpihak pada BN," katanya.

MP questions RM6.5 billion army food bill

The RM6 billion contract for army rations listed on the new government procurement website has raised the eyebrow of Petaling Jaya MP Tony Pua.
Pua said the figure, obtained from the government's new procurement information website - MyProcurement, was so excessive that it was sufficient enough to purchase four Scorpene submarines.
"I'd like to believe that there were some decimal point errors involved," said Pua sarcastically, during a press conference at the Parliament lobby today.
He said this while commenting on his findings after scouring the MyProcurement website, launched by Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak last week.
Pua described the new website as lackluster effort to promote transparency because of incomplete information. In one instance, 38 contracts were awarded to anonymous companies.
One of these 'mystery' contracts which caught Pua's attention was a RM82.8 million contract to supply military body armour, which lacked basic details such as quantity.
"A quick study of the portal will certainly leave one with plenty to be desired... the information available often leads to more questions than answers.
"The portal will be of little use to the public. The portal does not even provide basic useful information such as the date of tender, date of award or even the number of participants."
Directly negotiated contracts
Pua said it is also disturbing that the government has refused to disclose details behind directly negotiated contracts.
He said this was not in line with Government Transformation Programme target of full disclosure for government procurements, which has been practiced in Singapore and South Korea.
"The biggest problem of the government's procurement system is the award of directly negotiated contracts for these contracts are often awarded via patronage to rent-seekers, resulting in not only wastage and corruption, but also substandard and even failed projects."
Pua cited the Shah Alam hospital project as a failed directly negotiated project, which is now in limbo due to a legal tussle between main contractor - owned by the Selangor princess Tengku Putri Arafiah Sultan Abd Aziz Shah - and subcontractor.
In view of the government's refusal, Pua questioned the federal government's commitment towards ensuring transparency and abuse in government procurements.
"(I have) strong doubts as to whether he has the political will to carry out the necessary reforms to wipe out rent-seeking and patronage which is entrenched in government procurement."
