To those who had served in the military alongside international forces, they may know what the term Broken Arrow means. It is a situation when a military unit is about to being overrun by the enemy. Under such circumstances, the unit being pinned down will do all it can do to survive. It will ask for all kind of support that it can get from anyone and anywhere. Friendly parties will fire all available ammo from all directions to save the unit. It is a do or die situation where the outcome is very much uncertain.

This weekend on October 3rd at 0930 am we will do what have not been attempted before in Malaysia. It will be a trend setter. It will go down in history where the ordinary Joe and Jane demands for the government of the day that keep using the words “rakyat” in their slogan to show that they really mean business in helping the rakyat. We are at this juncture today after 7 years of struggle to get what is due to us.

We have to do what we have to do as the law in this country is against us, the government machinery that is suppose to help us has failed the people. The government of the day has shown that its weakness and failures despite having the immense power at its disposal. They are what I term as tiger without tooth (or in BM, Harimau taada gigi). Sometimes it gives an impression that being MB, Housing Exco or Minister does not mean despite having huge powers at its disposal

For those who does not know, let me enlighten with some facts. As one of the affected house buyer in UKB our numbers are 2000 families. This is small when one take into account that there is about 116,000 registered property owners that is facing the same dilemma as us in Peninsula Malaysia. The problem is not small. It is a serious one. Two out of three houses built in Peninsular Malaysia failed. This only refers to projects that are registered with Ministry of Housing in Peninsular Malaysia. Industry information estimated that out of 1 project that is registered with the Housing Ministry, there are 4 more projects that does not require it to do so. It is not the fault of the developers but rather the fault of the government that gives opportunity for developers to maneuver and cheat the general public.

The statistic below says it all for the year 2009. Unless there is some creative accounting being done, I expect the end 2010 numbers would be significantly higher. We are in the situation where we have declared a “Broken Arrow”. We have to accept any offer of help from anyone. This would include political parties, NGO’s and individuals. So far the SSG has not responded to our letter. The minister of housing has given us an appointment today where we will make a proposal to him. I hope we can get some support from all the readers in the form of a prayer that the minister will consider our proposal.

Habib
Thanks. Many such stories. I have only one dream. To be given a chance to lead a rehabilitation agency with some decent budget and some free hand. I believe I can turnaround many of this man made “planned to failed projects” which happened right under government nose in a broad day light!
Doc,
Are you going to blame anyone..?
Or just sleep on it ?
Balasi
why is it that you like to focus on blame rather than solution.
Dear Doc,
Corporate management indentify the root of the problem. Thereafter find a solution for it. It is in every corporate report to indentify their weakness and strength.
Finding the weakness and indentifying with acknowledgement only makes you a better person.
Only the problem makers like to say “Why focus on the problem rather than the solution.”
I get what Balasi means, I think the intention is not on the word “blame” but on what went wrong so that it will not be repeated again.
“Once bitten twice shy. If you have been cheated twice on the same issue, than you deserve to be sodomised. ”
Morning Doc,
Saya menyokong penuh tindakan Dr. Raffick.
Doc,
Ibaratkan ” Timun dengan Durian…., ,” Noway you can win.
Should sabar sajalah. Your problem will fall into places.
Doc,
Then and again…., I feel you have jump the gun. Just digest your problem first.
New guy’s on the block…., need not address the previous guy’s mistake..?
Give them time and I feel your small issue will be address.
The difference between you and me is that I can only talk and write but you actually do it. I’ve written elsewhere since 08 but that is as far I went. With what you’re doing you’ve earn my respect.
Most of the time people judge by what they hear rather than what they see. That is why politicians get away with saying what you want to hear and you unquestionly accept it. We must learn to judge our politicians by their deeds and not what they say. Talk is really cheap. That’s why an action like this by dr reflects character and fortitude. Syabas.
Doc,
Do or die…people’s power, here we come.
This is scandalous. Scandals like PKFZ where the people are not directly hit I understand. But its amazing that the government can survive scandals of this sort i.e. where the people directly given a black eye.
We are a sad pathetic people.
Doc, I pray you guys will do well in the meeting…I also have a number of friends living in UKlang affected by the inaction from the gomen…
If the ministry peep gonna be again paying lips service …pls expose and ‘taruk’ them for what they are…
Dear Doc,
What amuse me it that the numbers 28% and 66%.
I’ve mentioned before whom is accountable for that numbers?
I do not need to spell it out. Apparently, authorities are sleeping on their job, sometimes it is done on purpose. This is not a situation that pop-up yesterday. It has be going on for decades. We have to attack the root of the problem, not the symptoms. On 3th Oct, is about solving the symptoms. It will come again and again and again and again, until we kill the virus and the carrier.
Some doctors cure the symptoms first because they do not know the cause. If you know the cause, why cure the symptoms unless, it is AIDS because there is no cure yet for the cause only for the symptoms.
Free to help me organize a WATER DEBATE…?
Interesting facts. Again we cannot solve issue whether its beneficial for pkr or bn. Some of the facts on water already known by water players. Free water, selangor syabas acquisition and langat issue should not be resolved from political perspective. It’s sure to doom. Wonder whether we can start this thread on water at a later time?
