MCA has blamed PKR and its engineered ‘Kajang move’ for the flashflood in Kajang yesterday.
MCA Selangor state liaison committee secretary Ng Chok Sin had also accused the party of neglecting the welfare of the people in its bid to secure the state’s Menteri Besar position for its president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
“I strongly believe that one of the reasons for the flash flood yesterday was because of PKR being overly occupied with their protracted Kajang Move which had resulted in a power struggle,” Ng said in a press statement today.
“PKR’s chase and greed for the Menteri Besar post for Dr Wan Azizah had caused the many issues affecting the people’s welfare to be completely neglected,” he said urging Dr Wan Azizah to attend to the needs of the people of her constituency.
The MCA central committee member said the flashflood yesterday in Kajang is another of Pakatan Rakyat’s unfilled election promises.
“What has newly-elected Kajang state assemblyman achieved in the 6 months ever since she won the artificially-created Kajang by-election?,” he asked.
“I strongly urge her to reveal her future plans for flood mitigation, and also to reveal what she has accomplished so far. Or was everything she promised in her election manifesto merely lip-service so that she can win the voters’ support?,” he questioned.
Ng had called on the new Selangor Menteri Besar Mohamed Azmin Ali to review the party’s election promised and work towards fulfilling them.
“Dr Wan Azizah may have been the state assemblyman for 6 months, but the state government was helmed by PR for over 6 years,” he said.
