Subscribe in a reader | Subscribe by Email 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.
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.
Any indian in ampang knows sooriya has been ” very good” fren of PDRM. haha
If this was MIC councilor .. adeadda.. ena arpaatem will be . :).
Wats with SDs anyway ? everyone wants to do SD.. lol
Been overseas recently, so I missed a lot of “fun” since I was away.
Coming back to this issue, the newspapers been carrying confusing and conflicting news on this. One said he has declared himself to be clean, another said he has withdrawn.
In any case, it seems like our dear MB Khalid again mismanaged the whole matter by not getting the police to ‘vet” the nominees before they were appointed.
Common, Khalid, why can’t you do a simple task correctly and precedurely proper ? After such checks are not rocket science but common sense.
I saw today he was quoted as saying that just because the person has a previous criminal record, that shouldn’t disquailfy the person as people change. Coming from the head of state, this is shocking. May be we will have sodomites, rapists, armed robbers, gangsters, murderders, car-jackers or even child rapists in Selangor as exco and council members in the future. Good luck to people of Selangor.
Anyway I am not very familiar with this Sooriya but I heard about some of the councilors being corrupted and having criminal records from some of my friends connected with the police. And there were saying the number to be more than 3.
