Many opposition leaders and YBs chose to criticize the government, blaming everything on BN government\u2019s policies, said SUPP Sentosa Chairman, Wilfred Yap while commenting on the Penang big flood that claimed lives and caused ten of thousands of people to evacuate from their homes.<\/p>\n

Even the PM and his wife were in Penang\u00a0to assist.<\/p>\n

He said Penang Chief minister Lim Guan Eng made a bold but necessary move the next day: he called Deputy Prime Minister at 3.30 in the morning, asking for federal government\u2019s help. Soon after that, NGOs throughout the nation, even BN component parties from various states, arrived in the flood stricken state with aids and assistance, while those who could not provide physical help also showed moral support, all parties involved set aside their differences for a good cause\u2014to help the people of Penang!<\/p>\n

Such act only shows how immature and irresponsible these opposition leaders and YBs are. Rather than contributing ideas or criticisms in a more constructive and positive manner, they resorted to picking fault and making sarcastic comments, which on the contrary, is very destructive, because it could tarnish and dampen people\u2019s spirit, especially those participated in various rescue missions, be it directly or indirectly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese opposition leaders would never run out of excuses to defend themselves in an attempt to cover up their mistakes, BN government seemed to be the perfect tool for them to shirk their responsibilities \u201d, said SUPP Kota Sentosa Branch Chairman Wilfred Yap.<\/p>\n

Further more, he added that, almost a decade ago, DAP took over the administration power and became the state government when people of the state gave their mandates to the party\u2019s candidates, believing that they could to a better job.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile making sarcastic remarks and attacking the government through social media may attract a crowd, they did nothing to problems. It\u2019s about time for Penang state government to explain to the people of Penang, where has the income, totaling in billions in state land sales gone to?\u201d<\/p>\n

Yap is greatly disappointed to see, that instead of using the funds to carry out flood mitigation projects or\u00a0 upgrading\u00a0 the state\u2019s drainage system, the DAP led Penang state government gave priorities to its tunnel project\u00a0 and building bicycle lanes, and their hillslope projects seemed to have backfired.<\/p>\n

Therefore, Yap is urging the people of Sarawak to learn from this incident by rejecting opposition leaders who do not know the true meaning of CAT (Creditability, Accountability, Transparency). Unlike Sarawak, he added that, people of Sarawak has a caring and people centric government under the dynamic leadership of YAB Datuk Patinggi Abg Zohari, who has recently allocated RM100mil to implement 114 high impact projects to mitigate flood throughout the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cWouldn\u2019t it be better, if the payment of consultancy fees for the Penang projects, totaling in a jaw dropping RM220mil be used to upgrade the drainage system or other flood mitigation projects? I do not intend to barge into the state affairs of Penang, but Sarawakians need to understand the true meaning of CAT. CAT is not merely empty talk but true, genuine actions.\u201d<\/p>\n
