KOTA KINABALU CITY HALL BLUNDERS BIG TIME.

Kota Kinabalu City Hall(DBKK) once again made a mockery of themselves today at 2,30pm,when a battalion of it's Enforcement Personals swamped the premises of PARTI MAJU SABAH (SAPP) Headquarters at Luyang,reasons- it's signage board bearing the wordings,BERSIH,BERANI,BENAR. Head of the Licensing Unit of DBKK,Sairullizam Bin Sukor,was in his element displaying arrogance,normally displayed by a person with instructions from "Higher Up's".


 If the present UMNO/BN Government were "Bersih" in their administration,"Berani" in fighting for the people and "Benar" in their promises and not only during election time,then UMNO/BN should not be fearing those sacred words.

Fear has reaped into the nervous system of UMNO/BN-hence anything with words such as Bersih is now taboo to them.Perhaps DBKK should mirror themselves if they are Bersih at all.In the fiasco that lasted for almost 2 hours,the Fire Department were also called in to assist to demolish the signage board placed on the 2nd floor of the Party's office.Onlookers were seen running,in an apparent move to see if their shop lots were on fire,with the presence of the Fire Engine.In the end it was a hoax,only to know that DBKK had wasted taxpayers money by summoning the Fire Department to assist them in an illegal mission.


DBKK had apparently issued a notice to SAPP at 2.30pm(11th.July.2011),demanding them to remove the signage board with immediate effect(DBKK No/BPL:1100-23/0/1 Kit.30(23) for violating-UUK 3(1) & 13(1)(2)(3) Undang-Undang Kecil (IKLAN) 1983,which was sign by the Director General,Datuk Yeo Boon Hai and copied to the Mayor,Datuk Abidin Madingkir,City Police Chief ACP Sofi and DBKK's Enforcement Director.

Meanwhile SAPP's lawyers had faxed a letter to the Director General of DBKK threatening to take legal action against them if they continue to harass SAPP of their Constitutional rights.The letter also mentioned violation of the principles of natural justice.








Shortly later at about 3.15pm,City Police Chief ACP Mohd Sofi arrived with his personals. SAPP President,Datuk Yong Teck Lee was seen discussing with the Police Chief and Sairullizam Sukor,on the existing laws available and whither DBKK had the legal right to continue their illegal demolition exercise. Where is the natural justice that's found in our Constitution,isn't the law clear enough that we must be given 14 days notice?The City Police Chief who acted more as a mediator,looked rather mind boggled that DBKK was unaware of the existing  laws.Doesn't DBKK have a Legal Department with "Qualified Lawyers",or are they also ignorant of the law themselves?

Kota Kinabalu residents must now take serious view of the incompetency of DBKK,we may have been hoodwinked or perhaps even "conned"by them in the past,because of our ignorance.The Business Community should also now re-examine their payments made for licenses,fees and compounds in the past,and not be intimidated by them again.

Back to the BERSIH,BERANI,BENAR, signage board fiasco.After a 15 minute discussion on the existing laws,DBKK's Licensing Head,Sairullizam finally gave in and agreed to the 14 days notice,much to his displeasure,he must have thought that he was talking to morons and nincompoops who were ignorant of the law.At this point,Yong Teck Lee requested him for an official letter stating the 14 days notice,much to the shock of many including the Police Chief,Sairullizam responded by saying,"my word is the notice".Where did this "clown" come from,is this the kind of Officers that DBKK employs?In GOD we trust,anyone else sorry lah.

Finally,I guess this Sairullizam came to his senses,with his conscience probably telling him,"punya bodoh aku"and he agreed to have a letter issued in writing on the 14 days notice and the crowd begun dispersing.Shockingly at 4.35pm DBKK all of a sudden became "efficient",a letter ( DBKK No/BPL:1100-23/0/1 Kit.30(24).by fax was received by SAPP and it's contents giving SAPP the 14 days notice in accordance with the law.If UMNO/BN was BERSIH,BERANI and BENAR,today's fiasco could have been avoided.

I ask Yong Teck Lee later while having coffee,in not to many words,how would you sum up today's fiasco,his respond was,"Abuse of power for political motives".
