Right Of Councillors To Speak Out

By LIM CHIA YING at the MPSJ full board meeting

THE issue of health insurance for councillors and council employees and the premiums for this insurance dominated the Subang Jaya Municipal Council’s (MPSJ) full board meeting on Wednesday that dragged on until late in the evening.
Some councillors had questioned the high premium fees and raised the need for quotations from different companies to ensure a check-and-balance mechanism was in place and accountability practised, as taxpayers’ money was involved.
A few councillors, however, seemed more interested in asking about how the insurance worked and how exactly they would benefit from it.
Adnan: We need time to discuss this and even then, not all may agree to the proposal
The issue appeared to hog the meeting when the time might have been better spent on matters concerning the public.
One of the more vital issues was brought up by councillor Chang Kim Loong, who proposed to MPSJ president Datuk Adnan Md Ikshan that all other councillors as well as assemblymen for areas under the jurisdiction of the MPSJ be allowed to speak and share the main table at the One-Stop Centre (OSC) meetings.
“Currently, the other councillors who are non-OSC members can only pop by and sit in the public gallery. But every councillor should be given the chance to speak at the main table on issues that affect their areas as we are all equal,” Chang said.
“More importantly, the assemblymen should also share the main table with us, as they are elected while we councillors are only nominated.”
Chang said the state allowed for all councillors to speak up at OSC meetings although they had no voting rights.
“However, despite the permission given, this has never been practised in the MPSJ.”
He added that currently, only the four councillors sitting as OSC committee members received the minutes, while the others did not unless they requested for it.
»After all, transparency and accountability should be the apex of good governance« CHANG KIM LOONG
The four OSC councillor members are Chang (representing the NGOs), Pooi Weng Keong (representing DAP), Hamdan Ismail (representing PKR), and Roslan Shahir Datuk Mohd Shahir (representing PAS).
He also proposed that the OSC papers be given three days beforehand and not 24 hours before the meeting.
“Also, we are proposing that committee meetings be opened to other councillors despite them not sitting on it.
“After all, transparency and accountability should be the apex of good governance,” Chang said, adding that the proposals had been agreed upon by 12 councillors so far.
Councillor Ismail Kamal Abdul Rahman said the law must be followed because if every councillor could speak out, everyone would start talking.
Adnan said it was a good proposal but the councillors who raised it would need to submit a notice first.
“We need time to discuss this and even then, not all may agree to the proposal.”
Subang Jaya assemblyman Hannah Yeoh, who attended the full board meeting as an observer, sought permission from Adnan to speak towards the end.
“I’ve checked with state local government chairman Ronnie Liu who confirmed that all councillors can speak in the OSC, but cannot vote.”
She also advised all councillors to ensure that they replied their email regularly since each of them had been provided a laptop by the council.
Chang said he had submitted a working paper to Adnan on the proposal and said it was fair that the president was tabling it for discussion at another meeting.

As the country enters a new era of democracy, all of us are beginning to realize the importance and awareness of our rights and obligations as rakyat of Malaysia. This is especially true for us as Councillors to discern information to all our fellow rakyat and to serve the public. I must declare that I am not a politician, though I am politically conscious, and am invited to serve as a Town Councillor for MPSJ in my capacity of the Hon. Sec-Gen of an NGO Organisation namely: the National House Buyers Assoc- in short “HBA”- let me give you a short introduction. HBA is a non-profit, non government, non political, a national voluntary public interest organization registered in and under the laws of Malaysia. Our motto is “Strive for buyer rights and interest”. All HBA central executive council, are unpaid volunteers donating their professional time, money and resources for the success of the organization. We are formed to help educate house buyers understand their rights according to the laws. For more information on HBA’s aims and objectives, activities etc, you can surf our website at www.hba.org.my.

Sejak Negara kita memasuki era demokrasi, rakyat kita telah sedar tentang hak mereka sebagai rakyat Malaysia. Sebagai ahli majlis sudah menjadi kenyataan untuk maklumkan dan berkhidmat kepada masyarakat. Untuk pengetahuan orang ramai, saya bukan ahli politik dan saya dijemput untuk menjadi ahli majlis MPSJ atas kedudukan saya sebagai Setiausaha Agung Persatuan Kebangsaan Pembeli Rumah- (HBA). Izin saya menerangkan tentang HBA. HBA adalah Organisasi bukan kerajaan dan bukan politik tetapi badan sukarela dan didaftar dibawah undang2 Malaysia. MOTTO kami adalah melindingi hak2 kepentingan pembeli rumah. Semua sukarelawan HBA tidak bergaji dan mereka korbankan masa, duit dan ilmu mereka untuk kejayaan Organisasi mereka. Selaras dengan objective kita mengajar pembeli rumah untuk memahami hak dan hala tuju. Anda bolih dapatkan maklumat melalui laman web: www.hba.org.my.

Call it by whatever name, Joint Management Body (JMB) (Badan Pengurusan), Management Corporation (MC), Residents Association (Persatuan Penduduk), JKPs, they are all basically a community association of property owners looking out for their best interest- ‘community interest and not self interest’.

Although these are voluntary positions, it has to be taken seriously because it involves people well being and that of their investments. Strong leadership is an essential component of every successful owners' corporation, community based organisation and in our context JKPs. Our Zone 9 ahli JKPs volunteers have this special combination of insight, skills, knowledge and inspiration. They have displayed the ability to inspire others and have strong enthusiasm- I hope Enthusiasm is contagious. With it, council members are motivated to keep volunteering. Without it, voluntary work becomes a burden.

Walaupun jawatan JKP ini adalah sukarelawan, kita memandang berat kerana ia membabitkan pelaburan dan kepentingan orang ramai.

We run our Zone 9- to be the eyes and ears of the rakyat, who resides within, and assist them and their well-being/ welfare, within our capability and limitation. If anything requires MPSJ to do, we have to voice it out for the good of our community- preferred in writing, so as to place on official record. However, complaints must be done in the right manner as well. To complain effectively, you have to document your complaints, go to the right people and pursue till actions are taken in a satisfactory manner.

Over time, we will notice that people can be categorized into three groups; 1. those who make things happen;
2. those who wait for things to happen; and
3. those who asked ‘what happened’?

Masyarakat dikategorikan dalam 3 kumpulan:
1. Orang yang melakukan perkara;
2. Orang yang menunggu perkara berlaku; dan
3. Orang yang bertanya ‘apa yang berlaku?.

I am convinced that we have a good team amongst us to make things happen by your mere presence and ‘Enthusiasm’. They even have sub-volunteers amongst them.

I like to take this opportunity to emphasis that I take a serious view of the importance of ‘honesty’ and ‘passionate/ heartfelt sincerity to want to serve society’ as a key tool to fight ignorance and prejudice. I also want to instill leadership amongst us based on good principles and values (both family and society ) and the role of JKPs to cultivate honest and caring community to become civil and responsible citizens.

Saya mengambil kesempatan untuk menerangkan bahawa saya memandang berat kepentingan ‘Kejujuran dan kesabaran’ untuk berbakti kepada masyarakat.

Terima Kasih

Gotong Royong Perdana MPSJ - JKP Zone 9

PRESS STATEMENT
DATE: 13th December, 2008

CONTACT: Cr CHANG KIM LOONG AMN, Ahli Majlis MPSJ dan Pengerusi JKP Zon 9 (Taman
Mutiara Puchong, Taman Sri Puchong, Taman Perindustrian Puchong Seksyen 1, 3, 5 dan 6)
GOTONG ROYONG PERDANA

(Puchong) - Illegal banners, Ah Long (loan sharks) stickers and other advertising tuition classes, food delivery, printing services, TV antenna installations, water filters, trade advertisements and telecommunication services have littered the entire MPSJ and have created unsightly surroundings. The whole place looks so untidy, confusing and a nuisance. Even road, directional signs and public rights of way along the road have been pasted with illegal stickers thus resulting in unidentifiable road signs.
Sweeping legislations in the Local Government Act, 1976 and its By-Laws regulates the proper procedures to seek licensing but they have not been adhered to. This lawlessness cannot be allowed to continue. What is lacking is ‘ENFORCEMENT AND PROSECUTION’. We have repeatedly stated that any law is only as effective as its degree of enforcements. To enact all these Acts in Parliament and subsidiary legislation by the State authorities and Local Councils and to sit back and expect the industry players to toe the line is but an illusive and naïve dream.

Our fundamental belief is that even the best of legislation to counter a particular situation would just remain as ornamental pieces unless strict enforcements and prosecution are carried out against offenders, without fear or favour, so as to instill into them the respect and fearful feeling that the law commands. Public rely on the legislation are often get let down by the enforcers. It is only good on paper and it will continue to remain in our archives unless and until the existing laws are used to their full capacity. The problem of enforcement is not because of the lack of laws. Enforcement programs must be organized.

We are participating in this one-day campaign to remove illegal banners and resorting to self-help with the assistance of committee members of the Resident Committee (JKPs), the owners and residents of our Zone 9 as well as personnel from the MPSJ enforcement department.
Resident may cut down whatever illegal banners they see and dispose of them properly. Illegal banners are those that do not have MPSJ permits and seal. The legal banners are those with permits identified by a sticker displaying the serial numbers of the approvals and having duration of the advertisement. Today’s event is focus on all illegal commercial banners and stickers only. Those ‘social community advertisement’ put up by Government bodies, schools or for charity, social events or non-profit purposes are allowed.
One campaign cannot fix everything; I hope this will be an on going campaign by the enforcement department of MPSJ to rid our vicinity of all illegal banners and stickers that have littered the cleanliness of our surroundings.
