Unbelievable and Genius Comment from Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing on BMC Issue

Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club chairman Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing is in the lime light again. This article was found on Chinepress dated 31 May 2008.

According to the article, With the announcement of by the cabinet to remain open of the access road at BMC, Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing said that it shows that the BN government did not fold their sleeves and watch the issue at BMC.

He hope that all relevant parties can solve the problem in the shortest time frame.

He further said that all this while, the BN government is doing their part in helping to solve this problem. However, the BN government did not act like the opposition parties to make this issue into a big bang.

He also welcome the announcement by the cabinet to instruct the access road to be remain open untill the court comes out with a decision.

When he was asked whether the BN government make such decision was due to the pressuring from the PR government. Tiong King Sing replied that there's no such thing. The Work Ministry has been doing its part all this while to solve this issue and it is almost reaching a solution to it. Thus, it is not because of the pressure they announce to open the road.

But he said he is disappointed to those relevant parties for not solving the issue in time. According to him, those relevant parties should set a time frame to resolve this issue.

Tiong further stated that the previous Hulu Langat MB, Datuk Markiman Kobiran, had also debate this issue with the ex Work Minister, Datuk Seri Samy Vellu.

Tiong also stated that Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club also has been discussing with the Work Minister on this issue and try to resolve it in the shortest time frame. According to him, if the current Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Seri Khalid Ibrahim is so confident the PR can resolve this issue, then he will have not ask for 2 weeks of time. He should have solve it immediately.

Tiong said that the people should judge for themselves whether the PR is using this opportunity to gain more political advantage.

My 2 cents worth: This is not the first or second time Datuk Seri Tiong is making ingenious comments. I thought after all this issue and problem, he will keep his mouth shut but yet again he is making such unbelievable comment again.

If the BN government is really working behind the scene to help the residents of BMC to resolve this problem, then when the committee of BMC first request for help, how come all relevant parties refused to help at the first place.

If the BN government is really working behind the scene to stop all this issue, then it should have ordered the Grand Saga not to rebuild the barricade at the very beginning after the residents remove it in April and let the court to decide. Instead, Grand saga came with hundreds of FRU and Police and rebuild the barricade, blasting water cannon and tear gas.

If the BN government is really working behind the scene to stop all this issue, then after the high profile FRU blasting water cannon and tear gas, the BN government should have step forward and ask the Grand Saga not to rebuild the barricade for the 3rd time.

If the Work ministry is really reaching solution to this issue, how come when the residents went to the parliment to present their memorandum on 28 May but the Minister did not come out to meet and announce their solution to them?

Instead of all this, Since April till now, the is non of the BN leader came forward to voice out and ask Grand Saga to stop what they did. We heard one or two genius leader mentioned in the news paper about this issue, all of them saying the residents should not take matter into their own hand, saying the opposition party is trying to steer up the emotion of the residents but non of these people said they will take up the responsibility to help or to condemn the action by Grand Saga.

Even Datuk Seri Tiong also mentioned previously that since the court has announced the area is belong to the highway concession, Grand Saga, thus, there nothing wrong for Grand saga to block off the access road. So is that how the Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club trying to help by making such comment, as claimed by Datuk Seri Tiong himself.

Datuk Seri Tiong, you are right to ask the Rakyat to see for themselves, whether the opposition party is using this opportunity to gain political advantages. We will definately judge this ourselves.
