KOTA KINABALU - Sabah Progressive Party stalwart Chong Pit Fah has 'bestowed' a State administration department a aphorism of "Cronies First. People Last!", !", in contrariety to a Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's "People 1st. Performance Now! sloga n, over a recent decision of a State supervision to give a 'monopoly' over stream silt descent in a State to a single of a subsidiaries - Sabah Economic Development Corporation (Sedco).
He claimed which most meditative members of a open were of a view which a pronounced decision was finished in bad faith with ulterior motive which ultimately benefits a group of well-connected individuals who have been a cronies of those in power.
He serve claimed which he has sufficient proofs to substantiate such notion.
"As we all know, stream silt is an essential commodity f! or a c onstruction industry, as good as it's hard to get today due to a dwindling quantity upon top of a stringent carry out by a State Environmental Conservation Department. Hence, a cost has inevitably left up drastically over a years, thus making it a really lucrative attention now.
"And now it seems which a Barisan Nasional (BN) supervision is starting all out to squeeze a complete piece of cake from a private sector, just to benefit a handful of people," he elaborated in a matter released here upon Sunday.
The SAPP Information Chief cum SAPP Kepayan multiplication chairman lamented which a BN supervision had over a years given a exclusive right to most essential consumer goods similar to sugar, rice, concrete to most of a cronies.
"The BN cronies have been liter! ally rec eiving carry out of roughly all in our every day life, from a kitchen right to outward a house," he lamented.
He quipped which a BN Government should maybe severely consider receiving carry out of a wake salon commercial operation in a country, to support a more affordable wake use to a poor people.
"The BN supervision can then come up with a "1BN Funeral Service"," he suggested.
He then cited a disastrous stroke of a monopolistic pierce imposed by a State supervision upon cement, where a people, quite developers have been not allowed to squeeze concrete from anywhere else though Cement Industries Sabah (CIS).
"Unfortunately, a supply of concrete in a State is still not consistent as good as a developers as good as contractors have been during a mercy of CIS," he forked out.
Chong one after another which a reason cited by a State supervision for giving a full carry out over stream silt descent in a State to Sedco i.e. to have a improved carry out over bootleg stream silt mining, is questionable.
He pronounced this was generally true, given it has no management or whatsoever upon silt extraction, which essentially comes underneath a Mineral Ministry in a Federal as good as a Land as good as Surveys Department during a State level.
"What can Sedco do? They don't even have a management to stop bootleg silt dredging activities," he said, adding which a government's pierce had created more problems than solutions.
He contended which a management can stop bootleg silt mining though having to give Sedco a corner by proper monitoring as good as coercion of a laws, generally if there is no corruption.
Chong reiterated which a management should be starting after a bootleg silt dredging operators instead of penalising a total attention together with a genuine as good as protected operators by no longer giving them a permit though usually Sedco.
He noted which previously, a silt dredging operators were given a Tempora! ry Occup ation Lease (TOL) in order for them to occupy sure areas in a stream identified for silt extraction.
"So how did a supervision come to term with this? Does this meant all a previously authorized TOLs have been starting to be revoked? We embrace calls from a stream silt descent operators which their TOL duration is supposed to be valid until Jul 2012.
"SAPP wants a management endangered to obviously insist a terms of reference of Sedco's appointment as solitary permit holder of a silt descent in Sabah," he said.
