“UMNO pahang is a thief”
Post on Dec.27, 2007
… so i understand from someone with handle ‘little bird’ from malaysia today’s site.
Here is how UMNO Pahang is stealing the flood aid. They are using the Bilik Gerakan or Flood Relief Operations Centres which are manned by ‘volunteers’ from the various UMNO Bahagian. These UMNO runners control the lorries and also the list of recipients in the various areas. More importantly, they are in charge of purchasing the food supplies. The millions of Ringgit of taxpayers’ money that is being dumped by the Government is channelled through these Bilik Gerakan. The UMNO ‘volunteers’ are asking suppliers and shopkeepers to issue them false receipts overstating the money that is being spent. For example if a 5kg bag of rice costs RM10.00, they ask the shopkeepers to write a receipt for RM60.00.
This means that upfront they steal RM50.00 of taxpayers money. Then the rice is stolen or hijacked and never delivered to the flood victims. Instead, the rice is taken and sold elsewhere for ‘half price’ like RM5.00 per bag. So, in total, they steal about RM55.00. The rice never reaches the flood victims. This widespread stealing by UMNO Pahang has been going on in Temerloh, Pekan and other areas in Pahang since the floods began.
[...]Because of the dishonesty and outright stealing by the UMNO ‘volunteers’, flood victims are very angry and tensions have been high in the affected areas. The mainstream media have not reported that when Fu Ah Kiow, Deputy Internal Security Minister and MP for Kuantan, visited the affected areas, the flood victims screamed and threw stones at him. The Deputy Minister had to leave the scene in a hurry.

Well said. Malaysia’s got tonnes of potential but I am always deeply saddened at the political mismanagement and generally crap level of leadership in the country. As an ex-Malaysian, this is still very painful to witness.

as i mentioned above to ninja… i CnP (that is cut and paste) this from somewhere else, so why should i prove anything? i was not the one who made the allegations. didn’t you notice i had all those texts quoted (in italic and with a horizontal mark on left)? all texts that were taken from somewhere else (source e.g. star paper, other website), i always ‘quote’ them i.e. in italic and marked.then after the quote i mentioned ‘malaysia today’, where i took this ‘allegations’ from. so your question should be forwarded to ‘little bird’ who wrote these allegations at malaysia today, not me.
maybe i should change the heading to put in between quotation marks to denote the allegation comes from somewhere else. ok i will do that.
(and also add something).
