Whose words should be trusted?

Now that Penampang District Office (DO) disclosed that they were hand-tied, and without proper and appropriate resources, in this case, the needed trucks and other related items then how can we expect him or the council to perform? But, has he, or didn't he, report the problems they are, or were, facing all these days or years to the respective higher authority? 

The higher authority should be the Ministry of Local Government which is headed by Datuk Hajiji who is a strong member of UMNO. 

The council was reported to have a strong reserve of RM28 Million in the form of fixed Deposit way back in 2008; they shouldn't have the financial problem to start with, then what's their problem? It can only be incompetency if the finance is strong in the first place. What else?

Another interesting topic arisen from the news is that whose words the public should trust, the honourable YB or the Chief Mechanic?

Two versions of saying, and they have successfully confused the public. I'm referring to the council response today of refuting what had said publicly by YB Edward Khoo yesterday that the council had misled the rate-payers.

YB Edward Khoo has finally done the right thing but must continue consistently without fears or favours

This is the YB that we wanted for a long time, a people representative to deal with the poor administration of the district council through which people's lives are affected directly.

One question arises as to what has been happening with the performance of those District Councilors appointed, in which MCA has three (3) representatives.

It's common knowledge that some District Councilors were very questionable in their integrity that government enforcement units should keep an eye on them.

I hope that YB Edward Khoo will continue with the search for the truth with more follow-ups, and set the matter straight transparently without any compromise, as this type of cases are reported to be rampant, and out of control.

Some district councilors who are vocals, and insisting on strict penalty on faulters, were reported to have been threatened with harm by some public whose interests were at stake due to the enforcement attempts by the council.

YB Edward, you've done the right thing but making sure that you continue with more follow-ups, without fears or favours, in discharging your duty and responsibility. Keep it up, YB!
