Lo Khere Chiang says MPP has rules to abide to
MPP Chairman, Lo Khere Chiang said he is always open to members of the public who lend a hand to give away to charity or to embark on some projects in Padawan.
He said he was disappointing that some were so haste to seek publicity, they bulldozed their way through without taking into consideration the legal implications involved when working on projects in Padawan constituency.
“As much as I welcome help in Padawan, I want to make things very clear that no one should do anything at their whims and fancy under the jurisdiction of Padawan Municiple council (MPP). Permission needs to be granted as under the MPP, we do things according to the rules and regulations set. We have a GPS government to ensure things runs smoothly in Sarawak as we follow the rules, unlike some, who do things without going through proper procedures, ” he pointed out.
Lo said he was taken aback when informed recently that Liu Thian Leong from PSB had blantantly gone to Mile 10 market without informing the council.
” Do not get me wrong. For any helping hand, I always welcome it with open heart. But as an ex-councillor, it is indeed disappointing that Liu did not even have the courtesy to inform us. He took it upon himself to take down three of the ceiling fans to replaced them and had the other 10 repaired. MPP has intended to replace all the fans to be 26 inches with three blades which is of a higher spec. The fans had been there for ages since the market was constructed. Every now and then, MPP will be informed that it has been broken down. So by replacing them all is the only solution to prevent it from breaking down now and then. Repairing them would be costly in the long run, ” he explained.
MPP, he said, had applied for funds to have the fans and toilets at the market fixed. The funds came this year and they have prepared the quotation documents. Quotation was called a month ago and the successful contactor has been appointed and the project was to be handed over to the contractor on May 17.
Lo added that if Liu have informed them earlier and rightfully so, they would let him fix all the 13 fans with the correct size. That will save us part of the RM50,000 for other infrastructure use in the MPP areas.
