I am inviting the public to supply me with questions they want me to ask in the next sitting of Parliament.
Each question is limited to 40 words (their rules, not mine). 🙂
The absolute deadline is June 1.
You can either put your questions in the comment section of this post only, or email to teresakok AT yahoo.com.my.
Hope to get some questions that will rock Parliament. 🙂
Not every question will be used.
I would like to know why the federal government is not promoting family planning among the poor in Malaysia. Watch TV3’s Bersamamu.
I think it is very irresponsible for couples to have many children when they can barely feed and care for themselves.
a.Kenapakah Jabatan ICT tidak diwujudkan pada zaman ledakan ICT kini?
b.Apakah langkah yang diambil kerajaan dalam meningkatkan tahap kompetensi pegawai IT kerajaan dalam menangani cabaran ICT yang hebat.
First, let me thank Selangor for the initiative to really apply ICT unlike those dungu’s in the cabinet who just talk and wait for durian to drop (opportunity to start new projects).
How much or rather, how little did the Selangor government spend on the live transmission of the first sitting of the Selangor state assembly?
I am sure it is not millions of ringgit that was quoted by RTM or the minister for the live telecast of parliament. Hope that Selangor can teach the federal government a thing or two if they are willing to learn.
I would like to ask why did DBKL plan for a cemetery+crematorium+detention center right smack in the middle of a vast residential area (OUG/Bukit Jalil/Kinrara)? The people of this area deserve amenities such as LRT/library/Chinese schools/sports club, NOT Muslim cemeteries with a corpse incinerator as bonus! Think of the air pollution a multi-furnace crematorium will bring.
Thank you YB Teresa.
I want to arse the government !!!
dear teresa,
please ask this question to Hishamudin,the Education Minister.
Why did current education system from pre-school(government tadika),up to primary school and secondary school syllabus are not up to the international school standard which promoting people to send their children’s to international school just as DPM Najib.
Here’s my question :
Pollution faced by Shah Alam residents, particularly from Kota Kemuning to Banting. Every night, there’s haze even after it rains, and sometimes the air smells like pollutants from some factory somewhere. Can anything be done to help the residents there?
Reason i’m asking:
I don’t think its haze, more like factories operating at night to guise their pollutant emmisions. Cars parked at Kota Kemuning over night are covered by a thin layer of dust, and air quality is very unhealthy.
This was actually raised a while back (can’t remember when) and even highlighted in the newspaper (The Star) but to date, problem still prevails.
Someone should go check where these emissions are coming from, and stop them
1. Was the India Ink ever ordered and delivered to the Elections Commission in Malaysia?If so, please get a Certificate of Confirmation from the Auditor General.
2. How many postal otes were cast in Rembau and is there an army camp stationed there to justify it?
I want to ask the govt to immediately suspend the National Service program as it’s going to kill more lives inside. Then hold a national referendum to continue or not.Right to risks in the hands of parents not govt.
1. Saya ingin bertanya kepada Menteri Pelajaran kenapa ada sekolah yang kekurangan guru dan ada sekolah yang guru berlebihan.
2. Saya ingin bertanya kepada Menteri Pelajaran kenapa bilangan guru mengikut opsyen seperti opsyen bahasa inggeris tidak mencukupi di sekolah luar bandar, hatta di daerah sabak bernam selangor
3. Saya ingin bertanya kepada Menteri Pelajaran bagaimanakah rancangan jangka panjang kementerian mengatasi guru Opsyen Bahasa Cina dan Bahasa Tamil dan seterusnya menghapuskan guru POL di semua sekolah menengah dan diganti guru tetap.
OK,
Q1. Ask how much was spend for visit Malaysia Year in 2008?
Q2. Provide break down of the total expenditure like the spending in the sport club controversy.
Q3. How many contractors and suppliers (service and otherwise)were involved?
Q4. What are the services supplied and materials purchased for each contract?
Q5. How much impact has the spending on tourism in that year, quantitatively and qualitatively.
As u are aware the the former minister is that named in the Royal commission and I suspect a lot of hidden and tainted things.
sorry 1st para should be “2007” my apologies
What will happen to the area that was formerly known as the Tunku Abdul Rahman’s Park which is located next to Stadium Negara, Kuala Lumpur.
It, together with a smaller plot of land opposite, was used as a recreation park for residents living nearby.
The area was unceremoniously dug up and fenced for the construction of a building.
The project was subsequently abandoned and the place was left as is for the past few decades.
It is a disgraceful act because every Merdeka Day, without fail, the BN government will resurrect the memory of Tunku as the father of Malaysia. And this is what they had done to a park built for his commemoration!!
What a bunch of hypocrites!
TK,
I have lots of questions i want answered…
1. In view of the rising cost of living, can the govt reduce income tax to a ceiling of One Month Salary per year instead of the four months going rate?
We really need our own money to survive.
2. Why are the UMNO and BN leaders not responding to the question of how many of their children and grand children ever were sent to the NS camp?
why dont their children mix with the common children in order to prove national and racial unity, postpone their trip overseas for education just for three months.
3. Why is Sabah so lacking in electricity and other amenities while all our money are wasted on NS and space tourist???
4. Does the UMNO leaders have the intention to propagate NEP or dasar ekonomi malayu for eternity without end…..?
There are lot of question need to be ask… but I give little only…

dear teresa,
the number of foreign students (especially from egypt, iran, iraq and palestine) enrolled in postgraduate medical programme in a local university in kubang kerian, kelantan have outnumbered local chinese and indian. why do this happen? hope you can investigate more regarding this, as i am still under AUKU regulation, i cant get more info for you.
dear teresa,
another question is why do STPM holder have to take IELTS or TOEFL (both are international English proficiency test) if they want to apply for universities in UK or Australia? I meant STPM student are aready mandatory to take MUET ( a local English proficiency test) by why are MUET are not recognized by english-speaking country? should our education ministry do something to so that MUET will be recognized by those countries
Dear Teresa,
In view of the increasing number of failed applications for scholarships for entrance into local and foreign universities by high achievers in the 2007 SPM examinations, why is the government obstructing the academic paths of these students?
Adakah cadangan Noh Omar di mana sumbangan wang pembangunan untuk lima negeri dibawah Pakatan Rakyat disalurkan menerusi MARA bercanggah dengan sebarang undang-undang atau peraturan yang sedia ada?
Apakah langkah-langkah Kementerian Kesihatan supaya hospital kerajaan dapat memberikan rawatan segera, pantas dan tepat untuk semua kes-kes yang dihadapinya serta apakah tindakan disiplin sedia ada untuk kecuaian/kelalaian sebarang anggota perkhidmatan kesihatan?
Teresa, ask the government why the agreements signed with the various privatised companies cannot see the light of day.
Are they so exploitative of the taxpayers that it will be shameful for them to do so?
But shameful or not, they must be exposed and the OSA cannot be used to protect such acts! It can only be used to protect national security.
Teresa,
Request whether Bakti had instructed (pressuring) Balkis, PBT & other desperate housewives to “zero” their acc & transfer the funds to Bakti, instead of donated to various charity org. Ask Bakti to make public from where their funds comes in & how their spendings

“Can the govt legalised satelite dish?

That’s a good one.
In fact far too many businesses are being privatised (monopolised?) to the detriment of the taxpayers.
The result is that we get very shoddy services and a take it or leave it attitude!
I suggest that when the PR has the reigns of power in its hands, it should nationalise these businesses.
What are the Government’s plan is luring back the young adult forces / graduates that are staying back in foreign countries to contribute rather than at Malaysia?
Anyway, young adults force are the future of the country. If most of them stays in foreign countries instead of coming back, what are left in Malaysia? Not saying local graduates are all not good or as good, but one cannot deny the exposure and knowledge gained overseas. This is essential in building the nation, especially 2020 (though i don’t really know what’re involved in it!).
If Government keep saying they can’t match what is given by foreign countries, well, the world is very realistic, don’t expect all young adults to be patriotic or anything. We love to contribute for our own country, but Government is just taking us for granted. Sorry, we are not doing it for charity. We are not doing it so Government or high level people take the credit & enjoy all the benefits while we all suffer & expected to work like cows!
I think that there is a need to have a requirement whereby medical personnel, like specialists, whose specialty requires them to operate on patients to give a written undertaking to their patients containing all relevant details of the operation, both beneficial as well as detrimental, so that the latter are well informed of what they will be facing BEFORE the operation.
I know for a fact that there are specialists who do not reveal the detrimental side effects to their patients for whatever reasons best known to them.
The pros and cons must also be fully explained to the patient.
A copy signed by both the patient and the specialist, will be retained by both of them.
If there are any complaints of misinformation subsequently, the patient can rely on the information given in the written undertaking to initiate proceedings with the Health Ministry and to proceed with legal action.
Given the tendency by some doctors to exploit the ignorance of their patients, this requirement will provide a more level playing field.
Thanks for inviting questions from the public, Teresa. My question is, what is the government doing to reduce crimes. I’m talking about murder, robbery, break-ins, etc.
Teresa, ask the government why question time is getting more and more restricted?
I understand that it can be reduced to a minute or so for each MP.
Aren’t the questions from the MP, especially those in the opposition, important?
If there is insufficient time, shouldn’t the session be extended?
Nothing is carved in stone and it is imperative for the government to deal with all matters brought up by the MPs as they affect the well being of the people.
I would like to ask why are so many illegal immigrants from Indonesia are getting blue IC’s in just days when other locals who were born here have to wait for years or even never to get citizenship?
what is the methodology used for the economy cake that najib promised to reveal many years ago, because everyone has the right to know.
Dear Teresa,
Please ask on behalf of Sabahans too cos we dont have much opposition Sabah MPs to turn to.
In view of Ronald Kiandee’s rejection of Lim Kit Siang’s motion to set up a royal commission on illegals in Sabah, these questions come to mind.
1. Is Ronald Kiandee acting like a traitor to Sabahan?
2. Did he benefitted from the votes of illegals to make him reject the motion?
3. Who else is he trying to coverup who are involved in helping the illegals stay and get blue ICs in sabah, the chief minister himself, the Musa Pushtuni?
4. Above all, ask all the Sabah MPs if they are concerned for the wellbeing of their voters or should they be ashamed of themselves while LKS, a peninsula MP is more concerned of our future??
shame on sabah BN useless MPs…. snakes, toads, lizards..etc
Dear YB Kok,
I would be most pleased if you could ask the government why they cannot raise the retirement age in the private sector to fifty-eight years of age, regardless of gender.
I have posted an issue on ‘Retiring @ 58 For All? in my blog. ‘Working Woes’, @ michael.bloghi.com I hope that this issue warrants your kind attention.
Thanking you in advance.
I note with concern over the closure of Panasonic factory in Sungai Way Free Trade Zone. How many jobs were lost as a result? Can the state government advise how many foreign manufacturers have left our shore and whether new applications are enough to offset the lose?
What activities can the state government pursue to promote its own FDI in addition to federal initiative?
YB,what more is there to ask those ningkamfooks. If questions pose a risk to their welfare or pockets, then they would say it’s irrelevant. If you press them further, they’ll say it’s under OSA. If you press them further still, then they’ll say you’re a threat to national security and put you under ISA!!!
If really they want to be transparent, the rakyat has 1001 questions to ask!! Are they willing to answer sensitive questions? Look at uncle Lim, they say the Sabah issue, which was brought up by LKS, thirty years ago and again lately, still they say it’s irrelevant and yet they can’t solve it thirty years later!!! Look at Gobind, he represented the people of Puchong on the stalled housing projects and the stupid deputy minister has the cheek to say that it’s not Gobind’s jurisdiction. If Gobind as the MP of Puchong and you as the ADUN of Puchong can’t represent us residents of Puchong then who can, the sleeping PM???
Am sure there is so much dirt to be dug by PR in the five states that these former state government MPs/Ministers are having sleepless nights, wondering when is their turn to be questioned. Like the Malay proverb says “sesiapa yang makan cili, dia yang akan rasa pedas”
They have had their chance for more then forty years to prove their worth, look what has happen to beautiful Malaysia now? Inflation, high cost of living now, unemployment, look at the number of foreign labour around and with the economy at a virtual standstill now, these people are resorting to crimes/drugs and what not!!!
Hardly can a day pass without us hearing of crimes committed near or around us. Imagine the fear for our lives and those of our loved ones everyday when we step out to make a decent living!!!
You still want to ask them a question, then ask them in their conscience (if ever they have one), to put themselves in the rakyat’s shoes and see how they feel??? Tell them NOT TO FORGET that there’s GOD/ALLAH/ALMIGHTY/BUDDHA or whatever word the different religions refer to as, IS WATCHING THEIR MISDEEDS and somewhere, somehow along their way, THEY WILL BE MADE TO REGRET AND PAY BACK!!!
“Each question is limited to 40 words (their rules, not mine).” Teresa
Why should there be any restrictions with regard to the number of words used or the time given to ask questions?
Ask the government whether it is interested in getting the problems of the electorate solved or they want more devastating tsunamis at the next GE?
It is really good that they have lost their two-thirds majority otherwise there will be zero opposition in Parliament! They can just pass a law that no opposition parties will be allowed to enter Parliament; it’s that simple!
Why we should be tolerating any more such shit from the BN.
If there’re no restrictions by the number of words or time, the meetings would never end then. Not as if everyone’s going to ask very smart questions. In fact, most questions asked are really….primary school questions…imagine being bombarded with those silly questions…how waste of time & tax payer’s money it is….
So it’s in a good way, forcing everyone to think straight to the point and provide quality questions. Not just hantam saja….
A lot of the debate attitude is also very “emotional”…which is very waste of time. Perhaps all MP should attend some sort of course to teach them on how to question/answer during the meeting.
Most of them from what i see from the videos are BN MP’s lah…however, some from the oppositions are also the same…can’t blame them….:)
Ladies, gentlemen and marooned martians,
may I suggest we word our questions in BM and the it’s final form? This would make our super busy YB life a bit easier as she need not change your queries into question forms and translate it? She can just read, select, copy and paste.
I think YB Tony P with his long duration in a dominant English and Chinese language environment since his school days, need time to strengthen his BM acquaintance…..not his faul.
Actually I prefer our Parliament to allow for English and BM to be used. This is not showing disrespect to BM but English can be a great technical language and expresion of ideas.
Frankly, if it allows some of our MPs to perform better, so be it. As a Chinese, I would not mind Chinese is not used in Parliament given its practical problems in such application.
If the Education Minister wanted our kids to use English to learn Maths and Science, why not ask our at times childish MPs to use English as I am sure some need practice on this international language. Besides, the Constitution does allow freedom of expression and did not say one can only freely express in one language only
I am expecting a bombardment now, but please no death threat. I am not worth it.
Wee Tak, I think that we should leave the language issue alone.
There are those who may not be well versed in BM.
However, I think that Sassy MP can do a quick check of those postings that should be included in her questions in Parliament and either make a quick translation herself or have one of her staff do it for her.
“In fact, most questions asked are really….primary school questions…imagine being bombarded with those silly questions…how waste of time & tax payer’s money it is….” – badcliq
That’s where the Speaker should come in!
Those who talk nonsense should be immediately cut off!
However, the present situation is that the BN MPs can talk whatever rot they want but when opposition MPs asked questions that are urgent and of public interests, they are immediately cut off! Like the questions posed by LKS regarding illegal immigrants in Sabah, a problem that was festering for decades.
From the above, it can be seen that the problem is not insufficient time but that the time is squandered by the BN MPs in talking rot or asking stupid questions; just like the way they spent (squandered?) the taxpayers money!
It’s time to show the BN the business end of a pair of boots.
Teresa, I suggest that if you come across any problems in Parliament, such as being disallowed to ask questions, etc have them posted in you blog, so that we are aware of what is going on.
damocles,
I see the practical side of your point and I agree.
I am rightly accused of putting cat among the pigeon. My mooted point is that all this talk about meritcracy over racial basis, then if a language is better over another for practical purposes? Can we use it over the other?
This is taking meitcracy to a bit extreme, given BM is the national language of Malaysia and should be the language used in the parliament. But if, and a BIG IF, we could be practical enough to say, ok, for this motion on Information Techonogy, we use English as most ot the terms are in English anyway.
This is just a mere discussion, I am not in a position to rule or dictate.
My question as below:-
Bagaimana idealogi “ketuanan Melayu” mahupun “ketuanan cina, india, kadazan, atau dayak” menggalakkan perpaduan communiti majmuk Malaysia? Selama 50 tahun idealogi ini hanya mementingkan satu kaum dan menanam perpisahan diantara kaum. Amalan koperasi antara kaum adalah lebih effective untuk memajukan negara daripada konfrantasi sesama. GE12 baru-baru ini telah menunjukkan matlamat sehala boleh melupuskan perbezaan kaum. Bilakah UMNO akan menggantikan ideologi berdikriminasi kaum ini dengan idealogi “ketuanan Rakyat” demi keharmonian negara?
well…thats is more than 40 words.. do they really count ur words?
do i get a bullet? do they come in silver?
Dear Teresa
There are many things gone wrong in Malaysia. Our government do not hire the best people to serve the government and there is not a lack of good people in Malaysia just that lack of good people in the government. Why cant our ministry be run by technocrat rather that politician who dont have a vision what they want to achieve for Malaysia. Many of the minister dont know their stuff and get someone else to prepare their speech. If you dont know the direction that you want your ministry to go dont expect that you sub ordinate will be able to come out with good policies when you want to draft a good masterplan.
I truly support to have the election of the Major of Kuala Lumpur only then we can have someone who really have a vision for Kuala Lumpur to walk the talk rather than the current rotation system of the major which dont really deliver.
Broadband penetration is very important to Malaysia. A case in point is the development of MSC before even developing the broadband infrastructure. What can we achieve after 10 yrs?
In the western countries their officer in the ministry are professionals but I dont think we have much of that in Malaysia. If you check in the EPU we are currently suffering from a brain drain in terms of the staff so when you form policy what good policies you can think of with not enough good human capital.
Tun Ismail once said that sports is one of the arena in Malaysia that only the best can be there. Why? If you promote someone who can bring glory to the country you only make the country loose face. So the government have no choice not because they dont want to pull strings but the string is just not good enough for the international events where you are watched by millions of eyes. Regardless of race if you win you will get a gold medal. But the same doesnt happen in other fields in Malaysia.
No doubt we spend millions to send our students to overseas for education but we didnt pay them well when we ask them to come back to serve the country. In this globalised world, some corportation will just buyout your bond if you are really good. Hence since our government have already paid million of ringgit to send the students then why are they trying to save up on this little monthly salary. My view is that Malaysia is just trying to provide their students to other western countries for free. This group of people are the best but they will never work for the country in the end.
Why did we finish the ipoh rawang railway but dont have trains in the end? Cant we plan ahead? If this small project of electrification also take so many years, will we have any confidence for the country to finish implementing its RMK 9 using RM 200 billion?
Poor planning is a norm in Malaysia and its really memalukan. It doesnt take a genious to highlight to the minister what needs to be done. If they open their eyes wider they can see what needs to be done. Unfortunately their are more interested in their self interest than the people’s plight.
A case in Johor. If you really want IDR to be successful just get them to build a mrt line from kranji to ciq to the second link. I am confident it will bring in more people to stay and consume in JB. Singapore cost of living is going up really fast but our reaction to opportunity is so slow. There are so many over supply housing in JB have the government thought of instead of selling it they can rent it to Singaporeans if they are willing to do a gated community with good security. When you want to sell a product you need to think what your customers want. Or another project the government can do it the big old folks home village for Singaporeans. Why? Because thats how you can attract FDI, solve your over supply , create jobs and boost consumption. But what sort of policies are we making? Sometimes simple things can do wonders not mega corridor.
How long will the JB CIQ will be completed? Samy vellu mentioned many a times that the CIQ will be opened but until now the people do not believe anymore what the minister say because they do not really understand what they are saying they are more like a parrot which repeat what other people say without checking if it is true.
Another point i wish to highlight is if our currency is weak or devalued we can never ever compete with other countries to attract talent. This is because imagine Singapore will just tweak its currency up a bit when you try to attract talent and it doesnt hurt them much since they have bigger buffer to shift the forex than us. Weak currency is just a short sighted solution in the end it will just create more misery for the rakyat.
Malaysia is not getting better by the day in fact we are really falling behind.
Malaysia has a tendency to do hit and run. We have some many competition in our local industries until no economy of scaled is obtain. A case in point is KL is one of the place the world which has a LRT, monorail, commuter, and automated LRT in the same city. Why cant we standardised it? Do you know the maintanance cost will be very high. Singapore SMRT only use the most efficient way to solve problem but we like to try and error. Hence we are left with so many legacy issue. The rapid kl project will not be successful also in the future because they use too many different bus from different manufacturer. In the future maintanance will be an issue and the bus will break down and then we will get another company to clean up the mess of rapid kl. All this inefficency just burden the tax payer with many more white elephant projects. We never really think of how we want to develop Malaysia ie no focus. Imagine if we invest all those money to develop broadband like South Korea now which has 1000 Mbps network, Malaysia is just at 10 Mbps. We have petronas money but we dont spend it wisely.
I really pray to God and I hope God can save Malaysia. Malaysian and Singaporeans are from the same stock but the difference boils down to implementation policy. I think one day only when Thailand or Vietnam overtake Malaysia in terms of development will we actually wake up and realise what is the problem. Perhaps if we never discover much natural resources we will be more resilient and will not do so many trial and error projects.
Why did we finish the ipoh rawang railway but dont have trains in the end? Cant we plan ahead? If this small project of electrification also take so many years, will we have any confidence for the country to finish implementing its RMK 9 using RM 200 billion? – Peromyvi
The crux of the matter is that the BN is not interested in doing anything for the people or country.
It’s only interested in fighting for their own benefit – that’s why we often read about the struggles of the ruling party. They are struggling to have a bigger and bigger share of the gravy train.
We are still talking of being a world class country by 2020; Singapore became one long, long ago. They have nothing but their brains and a pair of bare hands! And a genuine willingness to work for the betterment of the country and the people.
If you really want a better future, you’ll know what you should do at the next GE.
peromyvi,
u deserve a mister’s position for what you have written. ur words carry more sense then Noh Omar, Syed Hamid, Muhammad x 2, S Vellu, Zainuddin; off hand I can think of’em
so it proves what u have written, important post given to people who should not be in there in the first place
YB,
Just took a look at the Malay paper Sinar. They have a couple of articles mentioning you in a normal tone; about you getting involved in gotong royong and stressing the importance of cleanliness.
Mundane stuff but I am greatly encouraged as DAP is no longer only portrayed as sinister and unspeakable death dealing merchants in Malay language paper. One small step for press maturity and that’s great.
YB, Please do the needful and ask those chaps in the Education Ministry to wake up and not sleep in their “tempurongs” aka “coconut shells”! We are living in a globalised world and I want my children to be able to converse and study their maths and science in english!! My daughter will be going to Form 1 next year and is worried that she will have to study the 2 subjects in Malay.This subject has been brought up by the public in the media on numerous occassions. Can DAP bring this up on behalf of all parents who wants to see their kids progress in this globalised world!!!
I believe a lot of people are more “qualified” compared with existings MPs, but they just don’t want to get their hands dirty into politics considering what politics can do to one person!
So, we need to find our best people and gather them together. So far, Government isn’t very successful in this arena. Maybe Pakatan Rakyat can capitalised on it.
Apakah keistimewaan yang boleh didapati oleh pelajar Non-Bumiputra yang belajar di MRSM? Adakah mereka akan dipertimbangkan dahulu apabila memohon biasiswa atau matrikulasi?
I am just wondering why does the road widening activities along Jln Cheras highway (area around phoenix plaza up to leisure mall plaza or ue3) is taking ages to complete? It has been more than 20 years (or should I say 30 years?) that the Jln Cheras highway is infamous for its bad traffic condition almost everyday and nite. The traffic will always start to crawl from loke yew area up to phoenix plaza. Just imagine the residents have to wake up as early as 5am just to travel to the city using the highway, to beat the jam.
I just read an article mentioning that the all highway built in the Selangor is the most expensive in the world. The money spent for 1 km can be used to build a under-sea tunnel from West Malaysia to Sumatra. Is the current road widening activities in Cheras area are properly planned vis-a-vis the properly justified proposed budget (besides taking into consideration the amount of vehicles per day, of course) ? It seems like the entire highway is always loaded with construction work. What are they actually doing and hows the progress of the road construction?
Some questions for our Education Minister, Hishammudin:
1) Why can’t we uphold / improve the global ranking of our local universities e.g. what has happenned to our beloved UM ya?
2) Why can’t the government have more universities built instead of spending money lavishly on other less critical areas e.g. angkasawan project
3) It seems that the English proficiency level of our rakyat is dropping. Evidence has shown that some top SPM scorers can’t even speak proper English during interview sessions. Why are we still need to consider to revert to BM on the current academic syllabus?
