Give It Up! No Way!

The truth is, I don’t see anything wrong with some civil servants in the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) owning one low-cost flat each. Even with their household incomes at more than RM2500.00 per month, many are still “poor”. I can safely say many do have problems like anyone of us.

The rising cost of living would have taken a sizeable chunk out of their salaries! Some have aged parents to look after, siblings to take care of and the monthly bills to settle and instalments for the little luxuries that many of us cannot live without!

Only the pretty low types, the “them and us” kind ought to be ashamed of themselves for purchasing those low-cost units meant for others! The excuses they gave were pretty low-down and were cleverly disguised too! Please don’t conceal the truth and I would also find it hard to swallow the truth, if there was any at all! Please don’t lower yourselves, your dignity and lose the respect of colleagues, friends and the public!

For those who had abused their positions like the two senior MBPJ officers, the only way to set things right is to call the MACC (Malaysian Anti Corruption Council) to investigate! And the MACC must not take a low- key approach to these blatant abuses of authority!

It would be a futile attempt to ask them to give up their units voluntarily because that would only come to “dead-ends”! Everything was “signed, sealed and delivered” legally! It was definitely a mistake made by the previous administrators and there’s nothing anybody can do about that now!

I deplore the fact that there are some people in top jobs who stoop so low and misused their positions dishonestly! Such dishonourable motives! Or could that be greed?
