Tales of a failed state: It's ordinary citizens who have to suffer

Image
Strange it may seem, but for four to five years, I have had to raise my problems at every hierarchy within the Selangor State Government.          Most disappointing are  two of DAP's parliamentarians, Tony Pua and his successor, Gobind Singh Deo, and two of their local councillors from the same party.           This coming from someone who saw how hard Dr Tan Seng Giaw, and respected his party, I must say that the dismal performance of the DAP and Pakatan Harapan State Government in Selangor, especially since Amiruddin Shaari became Menteri Besar.           This reminiscent those days when Selangor was under Barisan Nasional, where problems were not solved and politicians were deaf.  Problem 1. Over just a few humps           Due to issues with several speed humps installed by the Selayang Municipal Council (MPS), my car's fender was damaged. Just before Chinese ...

Special Thanks to Gobind, MP of Damansara

  Persistence pays! Three years just to remove the humps. No thanks to MPS, former MP, Tony Pua, outgoing state assemblyman, Elizabeth Wong, state exco, Ng Sze Han and Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari. This is the three years of campaign that I have to go through. It also places my focus on MPS and Selangor as a whole.  A video which I just received from a friend tells the full story. He wanted to know what happened.  At last, common sense prevails.          To have a hump that damages the bottom deck of cars, especially cars with lower decks, simply does not make sense.

Banyak petanda jalan diletak di tempat yang kurang strategik dan amat membazirkan

Kadang-kadang Majlis Perbandaran Selayang (MPS) memang buat saya bengang dengan prestasi kerja yang tidak masuk akal.         Selama tiga tahun saya kempen baru bonggol dibuang. Dalam masa ini, saya banyak fokus ke atas prestasi kerja MPS.          Bukan saja jalan-jalan sehala yang dibuatnya, dan menyebabkan kesesakan di Aman Puri. Sepatutnya plan trafik yang baik adalah until penyebaran trafik (dispersal of traffic) dan bukannya dibiarkan trafik beredar dalam jalan-jalan sehala (circulating within the few one-way streets).          Misalannya di persimpangan Jalan Wangsa Utama, Jalan Wangsa 1/2 dan Persiaran KIP 2. Apabila Jalan Wangsa Utama dijadikan jalan sehala, trafik kena ikut Jalan Wangsa 1/1, Jalan Wangsa 1/2 sebelum boleh keluar. Oleh kerana Persiaran KIP 2 memang sesak di sebelah pagi, bertambahnya trafik di sepanjang Jalan Wangsa 1/2, maka kesesakan trafik lebih teruklah! Sebenarnya kesesaka...
