You will not read of this in all mainstream newspapers as only two reporters
turned up for the event although an invitation was sent out to all of our media
contacts. Reports of a DAP assemblyman contributing to mosques and suraus for
Ramadan is taboo for Utusan Malaysia and the likes. I use my annual state
allocation to help my constituents regardless of their race, religion or
political affiliation. There is absolutely no need to label mosques or suraus
as pro-Pakatan or pro-UMNO. As long as the mosque or surau is a genuine place
of worship that serves its community, opens its doors to all and is duly
recognised by Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (JAIS), it is entitled to my
constituency allocation.

Meeting my constituents at Ramadan bazaar
Last weekend, I visited the Ramadan bazaars at SS18 and USJ 4. I wanted to meet
the traders and residents.
This year MPSJ has set new rules requiring traders:
(1) to have standardised MPSJ canopies
(2) to dismantle their canopies and pack up their stalls daily after trading.
This is to promote cleanliness. Some residents have informed me that this new
rule is a step forward as it promotes good hygiene. Before issuing the licences
for the bazaar, MPSJ conducted a briefing for all interested traders and they
were all briefed on the do's and don'ts to ensure that this year's Ramadan
bazaars operate more efficiently and orderly.
The police officers from SS17 and USJ 8 police stations were also present to
give out Balik Kampung Rumah Selamat forms for anyone who will be away during
the festive seasons. This festive program is one of the many ways to fight
crime in our neighbourhood and I hope more residents will take advantage of
this program by the police.

Meeting my constituents
This is the posting on the Community Day organised by Kawasan Rukun Tetangga
PJS 9. There was a strong crowd present that night. Behind me (picture above)
is the newly constructed resting area ("wakaf") initiated by JKP Zone 2 led by
MPSJ councillor Ken Chia. The residents in Bandar Sunway are very pleased to
have Ken Chia reappointed for the second term to continue serving them.
I also utilised my state allocation to purchase 4 bicycles equipped with head
lights, tail lights and bottle holders for the residents' patrol team. Few
months ago, I have also purchased safety vests and walkie talkie for them.
Others members of JKP Zone 2 were also present including representatives from
PJS 7 and Sunway Tiara. Former chairman, Richard Leow and current chairman
Balakrishnan A/L Arumugam of Bandar Sunway Residents' Association were also
present to show their support. Mr Muniandy of Jabatan Perpaduan Negara Dan
Integrasi Nasional also attended the event.
Ramadan contribution to mosques and suraus
Early Saturday morning, we had a simple ceremony at Sekolah Agama Masjid Darul
Ehsan, SS15 Subang Jaya to present cheques to the 5 mosques and 14 suraus in
DUN Subang Jaya for the month of Ramadan. I allocated RM2000 for each mosque
and RM1000 for each surau from my annual state constituency allocation to
assist them in their month-long 'buka puasa' programmes. This is in addition to
other allocations which I have set aside for the single mothers and orphans who
are also observing Ramadan. Below are some photos of the ceremony:

Selamat Menyambut Ramadan 1430H
Here's wishing all Muslim residents and constituents in Dun Subang Jaya:
==========================================================
SELCAT public hearing on use of allocation by former BN assemblymen
I am currently at the public hearing conducted by SELCAT on the use of
allocation by all former BN assemblymen. Each assemblyman has used up RM500,000
per DUN from January to February 2008 (in 2 months). This RM500,000 was
supposed to be used for the entire duration of year 2008.
Officers from Petaling Land Office who approved these transactions are being
questioned now. For Subang Jaya, it was revealed that our former assemblyman
has submitted applications for allocation even after the March 8 elections.
Some funds were used for programs outside of Subang Jaya. For some other
constituencies, it was revealed that funds were disbursed to former BN
assemblymen even after our Menteri Besar has taken oath for the new
administration. Clearly, these funds were used as campaign funds for the
elections. Taxpayers' funds were used to advance their political parties'
interests for UMNO, MIC, Puteri UMNO and MCA events. Satu lagi projek Barisan
Nasional!
And on the other hand, we have MACC investigating us the PR assemblymen for
legitimate applications for legitimate programs used for the benefit of
residents.
