Datuk Raymond Tan Kia Su

Datuk Raymond Tan Kia Su will remain as a Deputy Chief Minister and Minister of Infrastructure Development despite Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) pulled out of the Barisan Nasional (BN).

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Haji Aman, who is Sabah Barisan Nasional (BN) Chairman, cannot make any decision as he has to wait for order from Semenajung.

Tan Kia-Su did hand in his letter of resignation to Musa last Monday in order to satisfy the public that he is not power crazy, maybe not power but money crazy indeed.

Datuk Raymond Tan and Au Kam Wah who quit SAPP should focus on serving the people in their constituents, instead of trying to break-up the party. They have become hostile towards the party since they quit, to the extent of dismantling the party's signboard.

Tan had been continuously attacking the party ever since it announced the motion of no-confidence against Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Abdullah Badawi.

SAPP had long prepared for the worst since it declared no confidence in the Prime Minister, what more that now it is no longer a member of the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition.

Those holding ministerial post in the Government shall get their priorities right, to tackle issues that are affecting the nation and the people, instead of spending too much time on party politics.

That it's a norm in any organization or political party that "leaders come and go" but, what is important is that the party's spirit, political ideologies and directions remain intact.

DAP as a good example where despite the exodus of some of its former stalwarts and heavyweights like Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye, Fung Ket Wing, Wee Choo Keong at one stage the party has remained intact until today.

The ultimate survival of a political party lies with its political struggles and the people's support, and not so much on its leaders.

Tan and Au Kam Wah do not have the support of the Sandakan public, if they made a new party that will only consist of their own family, friends and cronies. SAPP has become the most relevant party in Sabah.

Tan, Au and their followers that quit SAPP only purify the party; only those who stay deserved to be called warriors.

Jalan Bundusan!!!

Just came back from Beijing and going to stay in KK for two weeks to finish my work here, the ongoing upgrading works at Jalan Bundusan really annoys me, not sure what are the contractor and our Minister with no balls Datuk Raymond Tan Shu Kiah doing?

Tan should seriously look into the matter and to expedite the completion of the project instead of shoe licking UMNO. Since I started to rent an apartment in Bundusan Villa three months ago, the project has been there and there is no sign of ending.

He should not just sit in his office but to come here and see for himself the great inconvenience and ordeal of the people that has been created by the project, the terrible dust problem especially.

As a Minister, he should not just pay attention to problems affecting his constituents but also others. If he can’t do this, then he should perhaps step down and let me take over his job.

Slow progress of the said project which had been causing me a great inconvenience besides posing a health hazard due to the dust problem.

How long more the people have to ‘eat dust’ and endure the great stress while traveling along this road?”

Yesterday there was no work being carried out, I though it suppose to be an urgent work. Crazy ah?

if the relevant authorities were really concerned about the people’s interest and well-being ,they could have always instruct the contractor involved to expedite the project by working around the clock, seven days a week including Public Holidays.

The traffic flow was less on Sundays and Public Holidays as compared to the week days and were thus more conducive for the construction works.

The people deserve a better service after all the money spent on the project is their money. They should not be made to suffer for giving the contractor a lucrative job. This is also the kind of problem that causes the people to lose confidence in the Government.
