Simpang ke dalam Jalan Meranti menuju ke arah Sekolah Lee Rubber kini dibuka! Terima kasih DBKL!
At long last, works to open up the junction from Jalan Gombak into Jalan Meranti towards the direction of Lee Rubber School are now completed and the junction is opened to traffic starting today.
This speedy delivery had been a promise to me yesterday by a DBKL officer and being fulfilled today. Syabas! And thank you Datuk Bandar KL and his staff at Jabatan Kerja Awam!
The following pictures show the finishing touches being applied, with one of my assistants, Mr. Lee, personally present to witness their completion. My special assistant, En Yaacob, is the photographer.
I had been following up on this junction matter with DBKL for quite sometime. I am truly glad that the new Datuk Bandar, Yg Bhg Datuk Ahamd Fuad, has been very responsive to public requests. Due to the co-operation of the residents, DBKL officers from Jabatan Kerja Awam and I, we managed to have the junction opened. I am also glad that the residents had taken my initial advice and did not hold a protest against the closure of the said junction.
For your information, while I was going about to resolve this matter, the residents in Wangsa Maju had asked me to call for a press conference to ensure that the rakyat know that I was the one who was responsible for getting the job done so that no unscrupulous people can claim credit for it.
I was of the opinion that this kind of publicity was not really necessary because the time wasted could have better been spent on doing valuable research. I was also of the opinion that whomever wanted to try claim credit for it could venture to take the risk because I always believed that the members of the public are not stupid and they will ultimately know the truth.
Furthermore, it has always been my stand that drumming up publicity in the newspapers that I am performing a certain duty, which I am obligated to do anyway as an MP, is totally unnecessary. I believe in solving problems and let my works speak for themselves rather than seeking to derive pleasure in seeing my pictures being plastered all over the newspapers. Moreover, most of the time, what I accomplish in the constituency is not because of my effort alone but because it also has the valuable input, co-operation and contribution of many other people as well. So, how dare I claim all credit for myself?
Anyway, self-praise is no praise and actions will always speak louder than empty words and cheap publicity stunts.

Simpang ke dalam Jalan Meranti menuju ke arah Sekolah Lee Rubber kini dibuka! Terima kasih DBKL!
Akhirnya, kerja membuka simpang dari Jalan Gombak ke Jalan Meranti menuju kepada sekolah Lee Rubber kini telah siap dan simpang akan dibuka mulai hari ini.
Penyerahan kerja bingkas ini telah dijanjikan kepada saya oleh seorang pegawai DBKL semalam dan telah menjadi kenyataan hari ini. Syabas! Dan terima kasih Datuk Bandar KL serta pegawainya di Jabatan Kerja Awam!
Gambar yang berada di atas menunjukkan kerja-kerja persiapan sedang dijalankan dan salah seorang pembantu khas saya, Encik Lee, menyaksikan kerja tersebut. Juru gambar adalah Pembantu Khas saya, En Yaacob.
Saya telah lama berhubung dengan DBKL mengenai simpang ini. Saya amat bersyukur kerana Datuk Bandar baru, Yg Bhg Datuk Ahamd Fuad, sangat peka dengan permintaan umum. Dengan kerja sama para penghuni, pegawai DBKL daripada Jabatan Kerja Awam dan saya, kami berjaya membuka simpang tersebut. Saya juga gembira kerana para penghuni menerima nasihat saya supaya tidak mengadakan tunjuk persaan membantah penutupan simpang tersebut .
Untuk makluman anda, tatkala saya hampir selesaikan perkara ini, terdapat penghuni Wangsa Maju menggesakan saya mengadakan sidang akhbar memberitahu rakyat bahawa sayalah yang menyelesaikan masalah ini dan mengelakkan pihak tertentu meraih nama baik pula.
Saya rasa in tidak perlu kerana hanya membazir masa sahaja dan masa ini lebih baik digunakan untuk kerja penyelidikan. Saya juga rasa sesiapa yang cuba meraih nama baik mengambil risiko tinggi kerana orang ramai bukanlah bodoh dan akan ketahui kebenaran akhirnya.
Bahkan, saya sentiasa rasa tidak perlukah saya mengheboh-hebohkan kerja yang saya patut jalankan sebagai Wakil Rakyat. Saya percaya dalam menyelesaikan pelbagai masalah ini akan lebih meriangkan saya daripada melihat gambar saya dipaparkan di suratkhabar. Bahkan, kebanyakkan masanya kerja-kerja itu memerlukan kerjasama pelbagai pihak dan bagaimanakah sanggup saya meraih semua gelaran untuk saya sendiri sahaja?
Puji sendiri bukanlah pujian sebenar dan hasil kerja yang sebenar lebih bernilai daripada omong kosong dan tunjuk gelak sahaja.
