Umno rep wants BN's Janji Ditepati on Sabah roads
An Umno parliamentarian from Sabah today asked that the BN fulfill its promise to upgrade roads in the east Malaysian state.
“BN’s motto is Janji Ditepati. I want to ask, this road, when is work on it going to start?” asked Abdul Ghapur Salleh (Umno-Kalabakan) (left) during Question Time in the Dewan Rakyat today.
He was asking the Works Ministry about when the road from Kota Kinabalu to Sindumin is going to be upgraded to a dual carriageway as promised by Works Minister Shaziman Mansur during his visit to Miri in April.
Deputy Works Minister Yong Khoon Hian, who fielded the question, however said that the promise was not only for that stretch of road but for the entire Pan-Borneo Highway.
Yong explained that the allocation is being released in stages and work will be done by segments as it would not be possible to upgrade the entire 1,800km-stretch simultaneously.

Sabah deserves to get such allocation as it is the second biggest state in the country.
ReplyDeleteNajib said the opposition felt challenged when the government chose the slogan“Promises Fulfilled” because they knew that the promises they had made could not be fulfilled. The tabling of the 2013 Budget is not to fish for votes, but a commitment by the government to bring prosperity to the country
ReplyDeleteLeaders at all levels must have the moral courage to depoliticise education and be able to make decisions that can ensure a better future for Malaysian children and the nation, and not merely for populist intentions
DeleteDatuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has urged Sabah Barisan Nasional members to remain loyal and work closely under the leadership of Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Haji Aman.
ReplyDeletePrime Minister also said the BN government chose “Janji Ditepati” for this year’s Merdeka Day theme because it has fulfilled what it promised to the people unlike the opposition which had a long list of promises that were never fulfilled.
ReplyDeletethe people wished the promises are fulfilled under the Janji Ditepati slogan, and not a promise that is meant to be broken.
