1. Land Issues.
– Why are state lands given to companies related to the CM and his other families members, instead of being tendered for sale like in other countries such as Singapore?
– What are the reasons for the Government’s policy in imposing premiums on land leases expiring ? The Government was supposed to explain to the people, but so far, failed to do so. And the CM keeps saying that the people have to understand the Government’s policy ! If the Government does not make its intention known, how are the people to understand what and why the Government is doing ?
– Why are land leases restricted to 60 or 99 years and not perpetuity like in other parts of Malaysia ?
– Why can’t the Government be transparent and let the people trust the leaders ? The leaders appear to play “Hide and Seek” with the people !
2. Get details of the First Silicon Project and make it known to the people, from head to tail, including start and financial performance so far. The money belong to the people and Sarawakians have a right to know.
3. Borneo paper & pulp project. Similar to the First Silicon project. We want to know where our money has gone. They are not Taib’s money, and not his ministers’ money. The money belong to us just like shareholders in a company. If they have mismanaged the projects, they should be made accountable.
4. Why are Contracts awarded to certain companies like CMS, PPES, etc without any tender ?
Why was the tenders not open to the public and single-handedly awarded to companies like CMS and PPES, etc?
Why was the road maintenance contract awarded for 15 years rather than 5 years ? Was any evaluation done before the plan for the award?
5. How did the CM’s wife, Laila Taib and his family members afford to buy millions of shares in companies like CMS, etc?
Where did they get their money from?
How much does the CM and his family members earn a year to enable them to acquire such vast accumulation of assets and to spend on so many things like travelling, buying houses, entertainment, education for their children?
Perhaps a report for evasion of income tax can be lodged by DAP to Inland Revenue against the CM and his family members to find out whether their assets and spending exceed their income. This can be made anonymously by anyone from the public.
