flash: mbpj’s new mayor orders investigation at his 1st full board meeting

Wednesday, August 30, 2006 in Uncategorized

You never know what to expect, browsing theSun website :P :)

New Petaling Jaya mayor Mohamad Roslan Sakiman chaired his first full-board meeting today (Aug 30, 2006) with a pledge to look into the city’s on-going billboard controversy.

Upon directing the legal and public relations departments to probe into the matter, Mohamad Roslan said he would also investigate the issue.

“It is a serious allegation and we must look into it,” he said.

The matter was brought up by councillor V.Subramaniam.

Yay new blood! But hopefully it’s sincere blood too. After all, Selangor MB DS Khir Toyo also “looked into” the matter, see where that got us? But we must give this new man a chance to prove his worth. We’ll be waiting and watching.

I also liked:

Another councillor Dr Wong Chee Yong was more interested in finding out how minutes of the Dec 22 (2005) full-board meeting managed to leak out.

Part of the minutes that mentioned Wong’s name was published in theSun on Aug 29 (2006).

“Isn’t it classified?” he asked.

For his information, minutes of full-board meetings are public documents.

Citizen Nades also has an article in today’s Sun (see epaper), where he continues lambasting MPPJ. I’d say the language was getting old, except that it won’t really get old until some action is finally taken. Until then, theSun can rant on (online preferably) as much as it likes as far as I’m concerned.

Come on Selangor, come on PJ, the evidence has been shown; now show us you’re serious, show us some concrete action!
