Out of the two (Star) or three (NST) MPAJ councillor nominees alleged to have criminal records or under investigation, one is said to have a criminal record.EXCO Ronnie Liu says that the list was sent to ACA, police and Bank Negara, but no response from them. So, he said that “cannot wait for six months”. So, looks like its not that the new government didn’t send, but the respondents never replied. This makes me think, how can the previous state government elect their councillors so fast? Is it because of good relationship with the ACA/police/Bank Negara (this implies that new state government is not given due cooperation by these organizations) or the previous government never really vetted their councillors. Which is which?

 

Two councillors will be asked to make statutory declarations (what’s with these declaration thing nowadays?) so that they can be jailed if they are found to have made a false statement. Also, the appointment for councillor position is one year, after which it will be reviewed.

 

Meanwhile, according to checks with police, only one of the three (a 50-year old PKR member) had a police conviction (for ROBBERY!). Two others - Supriamany Sinnayapal, 59, and Sooria Narayanan, 38, were clean.

 

Supriamany, a retired Tenaga Nasional Bhd technician, said:

“I am a victim of political assassination. I have no criminal records. I have never dealt in drugs, stolen or committed murder. Why am I being implicated in this?” he said, adding that he was considering legal action.

Sooria Narayanan, of the Ampang Indian Community Charity Bureau, also expressed shock at the allegation, adding that it had tarnished

his reputation. He also said he did not lobby to become a councillor but was offered the post.The Star reported that one of the two nominees to the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) accused of having been involved in criminal activities has served two years in restricted residence in Gua Musang. It is learnt the nominee was sent as a restricted resident to the remote Kelantan town from 2003-2005 for suspected vice activities.

From robbery to vice. Still unclear on the whole situation.

Statutory declaration is plaything is it? Can make and retract as you like? Waste people’s time and money only. Don’t know how many people wasted money buying newspaper today.

The news did not say if its an increase or decrease of fare, just “fare for stage buses according to zones”. Obviously, things seldom decrease, so one can expect an increase in prices, perhaps for certain category of users. More pain in the pocket
