USELESS KARNIVAL SIOK IN TELUPID



By : JALIBIN PAIDI


TELUPID : Recently there was one ‘Karnival Siok’ organised for youths in Telupid by the office of Beluran's member of parliament and the sub-district State Youth and Sport Department.

The three-day carnival on Apr 27-29 was badly organised using public money, poorly attended and is now being questioned by the public and that a related police report had been lodged. I ask the Beluran MP to clarify on this issue as it involves peoples' money.
From the reports that we received, we never knew how much was spent for this three-day Karnivel Siok but we were informed that it was an idea hatched to so-called pave for the MP to allocate RM4,000 for each of the 12 youth associations around Telupid.

We were told that however, an officer from the Beluran MP office by the name of Melton Martin, who is believed to be UMNO liaison officer in Beluran, managed to convince 10 out of the 12 associations to deduct RM1,000 each from their RM4,000 to be reverted back to him for the purpose of organising the carnival.

Now according to reports from those in the know, the carnival's organiser was LabukDotFM (we don't know what it is) of which Melton on behalf of the organiser promised several things. They were: the organisers would provide foods for the participants for three days; provide t-shirts, canopy; and exhibition booths. We understood none of these were provided by the so-called organiser!

We understood that foods for participants were in the end provided for by the Telupid Youth and Sport Officer ! The officer stood in to do the booth as well as the UMNO guy never delivered on his pledge. We don't know if it is true that the officer even used his own money to buy foods as claimed by some reports but if this is true then the MP must explain to the rakyat.

Heated arguments of course were exchanged between parties in such situation. The common UMNO-style manipulations poked its head, and even the permanent secretary of the State. - Sabahkini

  1. Karnivel Siok was an idea hatched to so-called pave for the MP to allocate RM4,000 for each of the 12 youth associations around Telupid.

    RM4,000 for the youth association around Telupid, why not just pass them the money?

  2. Well, if the youths in that area had fun joining the carnival, at least it serves as some form of entertainment for them.

    3. karnival ni memang tidak salah tapi kalau sampai berlaku pembaziran, sesuatu yang beri imej negatif kepada penganjur.

  3. Kalau wang itu digunakan untuk warga tua dan juga anak2 yatim, adalah lebih bermakna.

  4. Pastikan karnival seperti ini tidak dilakukan lagi. Jika tidak pasti akan mendapat cemuhan dari pelbagai pihak. Gambar diatas pula untuk apa ya?

  6. What is the purpose of the picture above?? Simply posting pics of a person especially in this kind of blog without their permission is consider violating their privacy.
