沈桂贤:砂经济自主惠及人民
砂地方政府及房屋部长拿督沈桂贤强调,首长阿邦佐哈里将于今年11月公布新经济模式,确保砂拉越在面对希盟政府削减拨款情况下仍能支付各项开销。 他表示,砂拉越必须取得经济自主,以帮助人民落实更多发展。 沈桂贤出席巴达旺市议会22周年庆仪式上致词时表示,砂拉越于去年为联邦政府贡献500亿令吉的石油与天然气收入,由此可见,经济自主对砂拉越而言极为重要。鉴于此,他呼吁砂拉越子民支持首长阿邦佐哈里所领导的砂政盟政府,在争取砂拉越经济自主继续奋斗,包括在财务与政治上的自主。 他坦诚,已故阿德南沙登生前宣布降低及豁免低收入群体的门牌税,难免为地方议会收入带来一定冲击,尤其是对于巴达旺市议会来说情况更为严峻,因为该议会每年足足少了600万令吉的门牌税收入。 在门牌税收减少之下,巴达旺市议会在提升基建设施方面更显得拮据,任何开销都必须慎使用拨款及税收。 他说,地方议会作为人民前线,务必诚挚对待民众的诉求,否则将令政府失去民心。他以509大选结果为借鉴,地方议会全体上下不能维持在509大选前的工作态度,而是比从前加倍认真与努力看待人民诉求,否则他们将使用手中的一票惩罚政府。 沈桂贤强调,只要秉持团队精神,传递高效服务表现,绝对可以虏获民心。他指出,根据砂政府投诉热线报告显示,高达80%的投诉是针对地方议会在地方基建的议题,因此,地方议会前线人员必须致力于解决相关的投诉及把问题解决。 他举例,南市市政局日前研发并推行的“I-People”手机应用程式,内设地区基建投诉、付款、上载照片等功能,并取得民众正面反馈。为此,他鼓励其它地方议会可以效仿,与时并进和科技接轨。 他说,虽然巴达旺市议会本身有其WhatsApp群组,专为接收民生投诉,不过,倘若进一步升级探讨,例如开发此应用程式来提高服务效率。
