“How could the DAP claim credit for the electricity tariff reduction?" Tuan Haji Abdul Karim Rahman Hmzah
KUCHING: State Democratic Action Party (DAP) is bankrupt of issues and has to resort to claiming credit for what the Barisan Nasional (BN) has done for the people’s wellbeing, particularly on the electricity tariff issue.
State BN Backbenchers Club (BNBBC) chairman Abdullah Saidol, described state DAP chief Chong Chieng Jen as a ‘noisy spectator at the football stadium -making expert comments more anxiously than the actual team coach.’
The bone of contention is that Chong had recently attributed the state BN’s resolution to reduce electricity tariff to his party’s (DAP) signature campaign, which he claimed to contain 110,000 signatories.
“Have you been to the stadium to see a football match? The guy next to you will never stop commenting and give his expert opinion on football theory and how the players should play the game and score. He is more anxious than the actual coach. For all you know, this guy has never made it to his school team,” Abdullah said of Chong’s claim that the DAP signature campaign had prompted Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem to announce the tariff reduction at Wednesday.
“They are noisy spectators and you have seen that during the DUN (State Legislative Assembly) sitting. That is all they are good at. All the pleasant announcements made by the Adenan during the DUN sitting are all geared towards people’s wellbeing. Obviously this time around DAP is out of political ideas. If you scrutinise closely the things DAP said during DUN sitting or outside it, all they were saying and doing was about promoting suspicions, ill feeling, vexatious and frivolous claims.
I bet more is to come from them,” said Abdullah, who is also chief political secretary to the Chief Minister.
“But having said all these, the DAP must be given ‘credit’ for claiming credit for BN good deeds,” he said in jest.
When contacted yesterday, Assistant Minister of Youth Development (Urban) Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah described DAP’s claim, attributing the tariff reduction to its signature campaign as laughable.
“How could the DAP claim credit for the electricity tariff reduction? They have run out of issues to
run down the government and now they can only resort to claiming credits for whatever good things that the government is doing,” said Karim who is former state BNBBC chief.
Chong not only claimed the idea on tariff reduction as theirs but before they begun the signature campaign, they overheard Sarawak Energy Bhd (SEB) and Sesco planning to increase the electricity tariff. However such claim remained a rumour after Adenan, who is also Finance Minister last Wednesday, announced the reduction to take effect next year instead.
On other matter, Saidol said Adenan was serious in combating all form of corruption and irregularities which might dent the noble intention of the government to provide high impact project for the people.
“He (Adenan) wants all parties, the assemblypersons, government agencies, grassroots leaders and NGOs to join hand towards this effort,” he said
