This is what happens when politics and stupidity mix together ahead of the rakyat's needs. They are so good at blaming and pointing fingers but not take action to resolve the matter. Very frustrating. When election time comes, so many promises!!!!

Until the next time, cheers.

Transport Ministry did not give any directive to tear down Kajang bus stops

The Transport Ministry has denied allegations by Kajang city councillor Ng Tien Chee that it has given specific orders to tear down 11 bus stops in Kajang which have been earlier upgraded.

 

Its minister, Datuk Seri Kong Chong Ha, said ministry officials had pointed out unsatisfactory upgrading work at three bus stops during its meeting with the Selangor State Development Office so that it could be improved.

“Any demolition of the bus stops was the initiative of the Kajang Municipal Council (MPKj) and the instruction did not come from the ministry.

“MPKj earlier did inform us before taking action to tear them down,” he said in a statement recently.

It was reported that Ng had claimed that the ministry had allegedly wasted public funds to rebuild 11 new bus stops in Kajang.

Waiting in the dark: Passengers have no choice but to wait in the dark as the lights have either malfunctioned or were stolen.

 

Kong said the ministry was only involved in policy-making and was not directly involved in the implementation of the project to upgrade the bus stops.

“Some 634 bus stops were given the approval for upgrading work in 2010 while 468 were approved last year.

“After a series of delivery task force meeting chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, many issues regarding unsatisfactory upgrades were brought up like dangerous roof structures.

“Three examples of bus stops along Jalan Sg Kantan, Kajang were repeatedly brought up as it was not properly upgraded,” he said, adding that it did not follow safety requirements set by the ministry.

He also urged ministry officers to monitor all the projects to ensure that it had met its objective.
