SIBU: PBB Supreme Council member Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah laughed off DAP’s claim of being able to deliver minor rural projects (MRP) like what BN does.
Calling it the biggest joke of the week, he said the opposition just wanted to get some publicity and hoodwink the people with the state polls nearing.
“When they (DAP) say they can do a road in Sri Aman for RM7,000 instead of RM70,000 if the BN government was to do it, I can’t help laughing.
“Well, DAP can make their claim sky high or try to match BN in every aspect, the rakyat and public are our judge and jury,” Abdul Karim, who is Assistant Minister of Youth Development and Asajaya assemblyman, told The Borneo Post yesterday.
He was reacting to state DAP chairman Chong Chieng Jen’s statement that the party’s Impian Sarawak had proven it could deliver minor rural projects like BN did.
Chong, also Bandar Kuching MP and Kota Sentosa assemblyman, claimed that their Impian Sarawak Ubah brand had struck fear in BN, that on several occasions projects requested by some villages and longhouses neglected by the government for years were immediately carried out after the Impian Sarawak team visited them.
Chong also mentioned that the Impian Sarawak team had helped uplift the earning capacity of the rural community.
To this, Abdul Karim said: “DAP and Pakatan (Rakyat) have always accused BN of trying to hoodwink the people.
“Now, I am pointing my finger at them for trying to hoodwink the rakyat by claiming they can match or do rural projects cheaper and better than BN.
“While we do hundreds of projects quietly every year in Sarawak, DAP has chosen to act like a chicken that has just laid an egg ‘bertelor sebiji tapi riuh sekampung’
“Even this cheapskate projects are done in a hush manner and we are unsure how long it will last.”
Suffice to say that what DAP did was just to create some publicity and hoodwink the people, he said.
