Traffic Jam, Flood - Jalan Perajurit

The traffic jam and flood at the flyover construction area at Jalan Perajurit had dragged on for years. Complaints after complaints were received by my Canning Service Centre located in Simee from the constituents in Ipoh Garden East area.

Inputs are welcomed for the solutions of the problems.

Apart from the question on the issue submitted to the State Assembly earlier, which I belive could put pressure on all parties to solve the issue, I have also arranged a meeting with all relevant authorities, including MBI, UEM, LLM, representative from Taman Kaya Developer and some residents in Taman Ipoh Timur (at this initial meeting, apology as we are unable to include all residents at the area). Date is fixed at 17.06.2008, two days before my birthday :-) , and the venue is to be termined later by MBI.

I will keep you all updated of the outcome.

Dewan's Questions

The State Assembly will be starting with the DYMM Royal Address and is expected to last for 3-5 days. Followings are the questions submitted by me, which comprised of issues on local problems, past Government's matters and the current Government's policies.

I will also be preparing for my speech during the sitting. Everyone is welcomed to furnish me some input. Thanks.

Please help to spread message

I have received the following e mail forwarded by DAP Malaysia to me just now. The e-mail was written by a concerned citizen in Taman Kemuncak, part of my constituency. The e-mail wrote (i would not put in the author's name prior to the permission given):

---

"Dear DAP Assemblyman Canning Estate, Wong Kah Woh

I reside in Ipoh Garden East, Tamna Kemuncak.

Before the General Election, my to be state Assembly man Wong Kah Woh comes round and shake everyone hand and saying that he will look at the residence problem.

Now election finish, elected, he is nowhere in sight. We do not even know where is his service center.
What makes his different from our former state Assemblyman Vincent Hooi ? Vincent now goes round telling everyone.

As a state assembly man in this area, make a point to eat at different places, breakfast and try meet the people and not disappear and reappear again only in the next election.

Unless he have no desire to continue his next term.

Our expection for him to do a good job is there. But if he behave now like that, I believe the people will get fed u.
This is the same for all assemblyman"

---

I feel i must say many many thanks to this e-mail as it tells me what actually the ground is feeling. Without the e-mail, i may feel the way i am serving the people now is on the right track, where in fact it may not be so.

---

I need all of you to spread the message around, especially on my service centre which is situated in Simee. Following is the reply i given to this concerned citizen:

---

"Thanks for your e-mail.

we have started walking in the constituency after the week of General Elections, starting in Simee (markets), Ipoh Garden East (shops), Canning (markets and shops), Taman Cempaka (markets and shops), Ipoh Garden South (shops). This was what the Canning team, instead of only myself, doing during the ast 3 years before 08.03.2008.

(so far places left were the shops in Ipoh Garden East near the flat, C-nine Restaurant, and some of the shops in Ipoh Garden South)

my sincere apology as we could not see and meet each and everyone of you, before or after election. The Canning service centre had been formally set up with a full time assistant running the centre 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday. It is situated in Kg. Simee, just opposite the market. shall be obliged if you could help to explain and spread this message.

"As a state assembly man in this area, make a point to eat at different places, breakfast and try meet the people and not disappear and reappear again only in the next election." - i fully agree with you to this and will do. thanks for your point.
