JPJ Bintulu should improve their counter services

On 11-05-2010, I made a complain regarding JPJ Bintulu counter services to their Director.   Then, JPJ Putrajaya promised to take action, but was not inform what kind of actions will be taken.   Below is my complain:

Pada 11-05-2010 kira-kira jam 2:40pm, saya telah datang ke JPJ Cawangan Bintulu untuk mendaftar kenderaan baru. Pada masa itu, no giliran yang dilayan adalah 4013, dan nombor giliran saya pula ialah 4020. Saya menunggu selama setengah jam. Dalam masa menunggu tersebut, tiba tiba dua (2) orang datang (satu salesman dan satu lagi runner), dan terus ke kaunter no 2 yang dilayan oleh *****. Mereka terus jump queue dan ***** terus melayan mereka, sedangkan saya sudah menunggu selama setengah jam untuk urusan mendaftar kereta baru. Kenapa orang yang datang kemudian dilayan dulu, sedangkan saya sudah menunggu lama dan mengikut nombor yang telah ditetapkan.

Kenapakah terjadi perkara seperti ini, sila berikan penjelasan.

Sekian, terima kasih.

Sg Plan flat residents deprived of fixed telephone line

On Tuesday, 20/04/2010, I went to TM Point at Medan Raya to inquire about the fixed telephone line at Sg Plan flat area.    I approached the counter and ask the receptionist about the subject.    I was quite disappointed at the reply that I got from that receptionist.    The fixed line for this area is still not available and she did not know when it will be installed.    I asked her, why is it so and she just answer me bluntly, "No idea!".    By the look on her face, she was not comfortable with my asking.    So, without further  question, I left feeling frustrated and disappointed.

I was told by her earlier that there are currently lots of pending telephone line applications from the residents of the area, but why they delay the implementations / installations?    Why are these people being deprived of this basic facility?   Currently, only the Sg Plan lot and terrace houses were provided with the telekom's fixed line.

Waste of tax payer's money

This small building looks like a "Pondok Polis", but has been unmanned for as long as it has first existed. It is located around Sg Plan area, Jalan Tanjung Kidurong. It was built for reason unknown and now not properly utilised. Doesn't that means the waste of the people's money erecting it and in the end left unused?

Even how simple and small the building is, it must have cost thousands of ringgit, who knows!!!

Squatters along Tg Kidurong

Tanjung Kidurong, Bintulu, Sarawak is where the country’s biggest oil and gas resources originated.   Malaysia LNG contributed largely to Malaysian economy.   Petronas Twin Tower existed due to MLNG.  A large number of work force from Semenanjung came to Tanjung Kidurong Bintulu and made oil and gas industries as their career and rice bowl.  Expatriates from foreign countries also came to Bintulu.  Bintulu is renowned worldwide due to its MLNG plant.

The world only knows about oil and gas extracted from here.  But all along Tanjung Kidurong road, there’s a disease hidden from the world. The diseases are the squatter areas such as Sebatang, Openg, Muzako and BDA Pasir Putih.  If you happen to drop by at one of these areas, you would not believe that there still exist places like that.  I doubt the authority ever care to know about the existence of these squatters.  Even if they know, what have they done?   What effort has the local authority carry out to change them?

Problem related to MyKad/Birth certificates

This is a big problems for the state government, even bigger problems for the people.   I've heard about this issue years ago, but what have been done by the authorities concerned?   What steps were taken by then NRD to solve it? Continuous efforts on the part of NRD are very important in order to ensure that the number Sarawakians without IC would increase further.  The ministers who are responsible for this should take further actions, not just barking and making mere publicities in the newspapers.   The ministers should take the lead.

We know how difficult it is to be born without IC or birth certs.   Amongst others, they can't go to further studies, open bank accounts, look for jobs, travelling and the list goes on and on.

More money for Sarawak

In today's paper, Najib said he will assure that more money for Sarawak in the next 10th Malaysia Plan. Immediately, it came across my mind the following questions:

1. How much more?
2. Who benefits from that fund?
3. How would the rakyat know that, the fund are really for the people, not for "Certain People"?

Like before and always, there's no transparency in implementing any kind of project. Only a certain people did really enjoy the "isi" and the rakyat will, like always, get the "kuah". This has been the federal practice towards us, especially Sabah and Sarawak.

Another question which I love to ask is, why is it only now that the federal really take care of Sabah and Sarawak? Why? Is it because of the change of leadership? Or is it because of the result of the previous GE which might have woken them from sleep? Well, if it so, good for Sarawak. At least they are awake before the thieves take away their beloved empire from them. This means too, the result of the previous GE really scare them to death.
