'Flat Broke' For A Flat!

It was a piece of good news that single mother, Maureen Lee would be getting a flat soon. She would be reunited with her son. A fairy tale ending for her but for many others throughout the country, that would not be likely! Many poor are still homeless! The allocations of many flats were not done according to regulations. In fact, many of the local councils are not doing their work responsibly!

Many "poor" flat owners are living beyond their means. Some have "transformed" their flats into "banglows". Some of us live in terrace houses and we pay 'cukai pintu' accordingly but these "poor" banglow owners pay "rumah pangsa" fee! The same applies to the payment for IWK. RM96.00 for terrace houses and RM24 for these "poor" banglow owners!

It's about time all local councils need to radically rethink and find solutions immediately! The majority of these councils had screwed up from day one! Please do not tell me all the local councils have only a rudimentary understanding of the laws and by-laws! The time has come for action.

The report of "unfair allocations" puts the onus of allocating without bias for all firmly on all local councils! They must be simply fair! Do not put yourselves into any invidious position. Many people would not like that because we are not morons. You bet, many of us out there are acute observers! You're being watched! Simple as that!
