DAP REP SHOULD, GET FACTS RIGHT!

I would like to refer to the New Strait Times Article dated 24th April 2008 (http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Thursday/National/2222108/Article/index_html ) that the former MP of Batu Kawan, had failed to serve the people of Batu Kawan on issues such as high level of poverty, frequent flash floods and lack of proper amenities for estate workers in the area, which had been pending for quite some time.

The DAP Rep should bear in mind that the former MP together with the service team had given all out for the community. We can definitely say the services we contributed to the community, there would not have any other candidate would have ever done in such a problematic area. First of all let everyone should know that all three states ( Perai, Bukit Tengah, Bukit Tambun ) were under the opposition for Parliament. For Perai it fell under Bagan Parliament Constituency, Bukit Tengah under Bukit Mertajam Parliament Constituency and Bukit Tambun under Nibong Tebal Parliament Constituency.

When Huan Cheng Guan was elected as the MP, there were many pending issues that were need to be solve which ranked from community, welfare, schools, drainage, crime and so many more to be listed out. We only had 3 years to solve all this problems. Im sure for the time period given, we have performed well. Below we list out few of our major issues that we have solved.

1. Rebuilding Of Perai St Mark School
This school has been facing flood problems for the last 16 years and is in a bad shape. This problem, was also raised up in the Kawasan Saya RTM program. After our interference and effort going up and down for a few times to Putrajaya, we finally will be starting off with the new building construction on the 22nd May 2008.

2. Chai Leng Park Market
The market was abandoned after the contractor left the project half way. Huan manage to apply for allocation from the Housing and Local government Ministry to rebuild the new market.

3. Management Problems At Bandar Perai Jaya
The ineffectiveness in the maintenance have caused so many problems to the Taman Teluk Indah flats such as power disconnection, lift problems and etc. We manage to get the Works Ministry for new lifts and had been working closely with the Persatuan Pemilik & Peniaga Megamall Pinang to form the Joint management Body ( JMB ) to run the management of the flat. It was our effort to help replace new lift and to form JMB.

4. Police Station
We had numerous dialog session not only with Penang Chief Police Officer but also with the OCPD. We had so many awareness programs and anti theft seminars. We manage to setup a new police station at Taman Chai Leng and a Police Bit at Taman Inderawasih. We were also the forst to make Balai Polis Perai as Independent where those who report at Perai would not need to go to IPD SPt ( Bandar Perda ) to meet the Investigation Officer ). Balai Perai was the first to do so. This effort was taken after receiving the suggestion from the public during our dialogue session with the Police Force.

5. Funds For Chinese / Tamil / Mission Schools
We have allocated funds for SJK tamil Perai, Ladang Prye and Ladang Valdor for upgrading and building new blocks. This cant be denied. As for the Valdor school we have been working on with the education ministry. There were also funds for Chinese schools not only for activities but also for upgrading purpose.

6. Simpang Ampat Flood Problem
We was working closely with the Drainage and Irrigation Department and the Land Office to solve the flood problem. This problem was solved after we cleaned and deepened the river at the surrounding area. We were together with the community up to 3-4am and return back at 9am every day to monitor the situation in Kampung Baru and Batu Kawan.

7. Welfare & Community
Our action speaks for all we have done and there is no one who can question our sincere effort. Other than giving out financial aids we had been supporting in all kind of aspect to those in need. There are so many community halls that were upgraded as in Taman Kimsar, Kampung Manis, Taman Teluk Indah, Bukit Tengah, Juru, Dataran Sembilang, and many more to be listed out.

There are far too many to be listed out. Other than attending 10-15 events per day at the constituency, Huan and the whole service team phone are available for 24 hours. Huan use to attend almost all Parliament sitting and attend to the people’s problem.We are dare to challenge the DAP MP to check on our record and for sure we will be monitoring all action, service, state sitting and parliament sitting of the elected Rep of the current Bagan & Batu Kawan MP.
