Yesterday I managed to speak on the land problems faced by the locals in the Tawau and Semporna areas in Sabah during the debate on allocations for the Ministry of Regional & Rural Development. This issue actually was not related to that ministry but I tried my luck to highlight the issue.
Today, a rather conscientious BN MP from Tuaran, Wilfred Tangau also emulated my concern and brought up the unruly behaviour of the officers from the forestry department of Sabah towards the locals. I then clapped the table and showed him the thumps-up for speaking up. He said the behaviour of forestry department of Sabah has given opportunity to opposition party like the DAP to highlight the matter in the Parliament.
When I spoke, I praised him for repeating the issues of land that I spoke in Dewan Rakyat yesterday, Wilfred then stood up and said he has spoken these cases long before me. I then replied him that we all can work together for the sake of the people in Sabah so that Sabah won’t be marginalised 🙂
The deputy speaker who chaired the session, Datuk Yusuf from Sabah seemed not very happy to hear me speak up on matters on Sabah again. He keep interrupting me and asked me to stop while I was delivering my short speech below. At one point of time, he even switched off my mike. I then refused to sit down and kept protesting. My other DAP comrades then start making noises. He then switched off my mike again and allowed me to finish my speech as follow. I am quite disappointed with his attitude.

Hak Milik Strata
i) Ramai pemaju mencabuli akta hak milik strata, mereka tidak memohon hak milik strata bagi kondominium yang dibina oleh mereka selepas mereka memperolehi CF daripada majlis perbandaran. Pejabat tanah tidak menjalankan pemantauan terhadap kesemua projek perumahan yang dikehendaki hak milik strata. Apabila Pejabat Tanah mendapati pemaju sesetengah projek perumahan tidak membuat permohonan hak milik strata, pegawai di Pejabat Tanah juga tidak mengambil apa-apa tindakan terhadap pihak pemaju, bukankah ini menunjukkan pejabat tanah dan galian tidak menghormati undang-undang dan tidak menjalankan tugas mereka? Contoh yang paling ketara: Palm Spring Condominium di Damansara —apabila pembeli rumah mengadakan bantahan dan tunjuk perasaan terhadap pihak pemaju, pemaju mengambil tindakan mahkamah untuk mendakwa mereka mencemarkan namabaiknya. Persatuan Penduduk Palm Spring Condominium telah menulis surat kepada YB Menteri tetapi mereka tidak menerima apa-apa tindakbalas daripada YB Menteri dan pihak kementerian.
ii) Lembaga Hak Milik Strata (strata title board) termaktub dalam akta hak milik strata, tetapi kesalnya kementerian tidak melakukan usaha yang gigih untuk menubuhkan lembaga hak milik strata di setiap pejabat tanah dan galian. Sekarang, hanya Pejabat Tanah di Pulau Pinang telah menubuhkan Lembaga Hak Milik Strata sahaja. Apakah ini salah kementerian ataupun salah kerajaan negeri? Apakah ini menunjukkan kementerian tertunduk kepada kerajaan negeri dan tiada kuasa ke atas pejabat tanah pada tahap negeri
iii) Bagi kondominium yang telah menubuhkan Management Corporation, masalah yang dihadapi oleh sesetengah persatuan penduduk kondominium yang mempunyai pemecahan dalaman, isu undi proxi adalah merupakan salah satu masalah yang dihadapi oleh mereka. Masalahnya ialah, orang yang mempunyai undi proxi yang paling banyak selalunya merupakan “King Maker” yang menentukan siapakah yang menjadi pengerusi bagi Jawatankuasa Persatuan Penduduk yang menguruskan Management Corporation. “King Maker” ini selalu terdiri daripada agen hartanah ataupun pengurus kedai dalam sesebuah kondominium, dan ini selalu menjejaskan proses pemilihan Jawatankuasa Penduduk dan mencetuskan perbalahan dalam sesuatu kondominium. Di kawasan saya, salah satu kondominium yang pernah menghadapi masalah ini malah membawa perbalahan mengenai “undi proxi” ini ke mahkamah. Jadi saya mencadangkan supaya pindaan terhadap Akta Hak Milik Strata ini boleh menghadkan bilangan undi proxi yang dipegang oleh sesiapa penduduk kondominium demi mengelakkan sesiapa menjadi “King Maker” dalam pemilihan jawatankuasa persatuan penduduk.
Alam Sekitar
i) Projek incinerator mega di Broga – kita telah lama terbaca bahawa projek mega ini telahpun dibatalkan tetapi kenapakah kerajaan tidak membuat pengumuman secara rasmi? Apakah ini disebabkan pihak pembuat incinerator mengadakan tindakan mahkamah terhadap kerajaan sehingga kerajaan sekarang serba-salah dalam isu ini?
ii) YB Menteri pernah memberi sokongan terhadap penggunaan teknologi RDF yang menekankan cara ‘kitar-semula’ dari segi penyelengaraan sampah. Soalan saya, apakah kementerian telah mengaturkan rancangan untuk mempelopori teknologi penyelenggaraan sampah ini di seluruh negara demi menggantikan pembakaran sampah tanpa proses ‘kitar semula’ dalam insinerator?
iii) Plastik merupakan salah satu jenis bahan yang amat merosakkan alam sekitar, tetapi kesalnya plastik digunakan secara meluas di negara kita. Apakah kementerian mempunyai rancangan untuk menggalakkan pengeluaran bahan muatan gantian plastik?
iv) Kita menghadapi masalah jerebu hampir setiap tahun, apakah kementerian akan mengenakan cukai karbon (carbon tax) terhadap kilang-kilang dan syarikat petroleum yang juga menyumbang kepada perwujudan jerebu di negara kita?
When my friend said you are now calling yourself a “sexy” MP, I said I must look. It turns out to be a “sassy” MP so I decided to look the word up just to be sure and I got,
“ThesaurusLegend: Synonyms Related Words AntonymsAdj. 1. sassy – improperly forward or bold; “don’t be fresh with me”; “impertinent of a child to lecture a grownup”; “an impudent boy given to insulting strangers”
overbold, saucy, impudent, impertinent, smart, fresh
forward – used of temperament or behavior; lacking restraint or modesty; “a forward child badly in need of discipline”
I see among other things “sassy” means “saucy, impertinent, don’t be fresh with me, impudent, lacking restraint or modesty, a child badly in need of discipline etc”.
Still sure you want to be called “sassy”?
*Sassy adj sas..si.er, sas..si.est Lively, spirited, jaunty, stylish, chic.(among others)(*as explained in blog footer)
Look at the positives lah 🙂
dear teresa,
maybe you could us(residents of suasana sentral condominium, kl sentral). everynight including every weekend the construction site next to our condo have been cauding hell to us. we have signed a petition by many residents accompanied by a formal covering letter to DBKL to inform them that the main developer MRCB do not comply with law by allowing their construction works to run throughout the night even on weekends. our health includings the children have been deterioting. we cannot sleep due to the loud noise from the construction.we have also spoken to the project manager of the site, our condo’s management company and MRCB. but until today no action have been taken towards the contractors.
we are in the worst situation as the condo we are residing now is also been developed by MRCB. we have to pay so expensive service fees of the equivalent to the commercial owners from plaza sentral(office building.
we feel cheated as MRCB have not perform their duties and responsibilities according to to what they have charged us. instead MRCB grew richer each day vis collections from service charges from us (condo residents and plaza sentral owners)without providing even the neccessary duties.
i hope you could assist us by speaking about this matter in parliment about duties of building and condo management companies and also construction site working hours and their obligations to the society in the area.
