9 Jasa Besar Zambry Kepada Rakyat Perak!

Zambry Abdul Kadir
UMNO-appointed Menteri Besar Zambry Abdul Kadir had said UMNO/Barisan Nasional would continue the people-friendly policies implemented during Pakatan Rakyat ’s 10-month rule .

He had promised continuity of Pakatan Rakyat's people-friendly policies when he was appointed as MB by the Perak Sultan in February 2009 in the midst of the Perak's constitutional crisis caused primarily by the Perak Sultan who controversially sacked the Pakatan Rakyat's constitutionally-appointed MB Nizar Jamaluddin.

However, this turned out to be a BROKEN promise as about nine people-friendly policies have either been scrapped or put on the back-burner.

1. The open-tender policy for approving government contracts, land and logging concessions reverted to the old system of CLOSED tenders.
   
   
2. The giving state land to Religious Schools and Chinese independent schools also scrapped.
   
   
3. The policy of giving RM1,000 to the dependents of senior citizens who die too has been buried.
   
   
4. The proposal to change the octagon Yak Tack Seng market along Jalan Osbone into a tourist centre scrapped.
   
   
5. The uniform one-coupon parking system for vehicles, and at a discounted rate from April, for the whole state did not see daylight.
   
   
6. The proposed RM38 million new bus terminal at Meru Raya in Jelapang grounded.
   
   
7. 3,000 applications from residents of new and planned villages to convert their land titles from leasehold to freehold canceled.
   
   
8. 817 elected village headmen had their term of office terminated. The village chiefs have since filed a suit in the Ipoh High Court to be reinstated.
   
   
9. The process of legalising the 134 new villages put on hold.
