MDK Lindungi Penjaja Haram PTI Di Keningau?

Oleh: MAIL MATHEW (sabahkini)

MESKIPUN beberapa luahan rakyat meminta pihak berkuasa tempatan (PBT) khususnya Majlis Daerah Keningau (MDK) supaya pihaknya menstruktur semula kawasan-kawasan perniagaan yang dibenarkan mengikut Enakmen Kuasa-Kuasa Tempatan agar ia lebih teratur, bersih dan tidak berselerak namun keadaannya masih tidak berubah sehingga ke hari ini.

Ketua Ranting Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) kawasan Dun Liawan, Dr Nicholas James Guntobon kini terpanggil lagi menulis untuk mendesak pihak pihak tertentu agar bangkit dari lamunan mereka dan segera memperbetulkan kepincangan itu yang telah menjadi buah mulut masyarakat tempatan di sini sejak sekian lama.

“Saya ingin bertanya mereka ini (MDK), bilakah masalah seperti ini yang menjadi penyakit mata dan hati setiap masa kepada masyarakat tempatan khususnya peniaga tempatan akan berakhir? Apakah mereka ini tidak berminat menangani isu PTI menjaja di Pasar malam dan menjaja ikan di lorong-lorong kedai secara haram atau mungkin ada sebabnya?,” tanya Dr Nicholas.

Dalam tulisannya, Dr Nicholas menyebut;

“These PTIs shows no fear of doing their illegal activities as if they are above the law. What else should the people think about the reasons why these PTIs still doing their illegal activities.

I talked to one of the hawkers in the Pasar Malam about how much they are paying the rent, which they said ranging from RM4-RM8. However, to my amazement, the PTIs who were selling fishes are not paying anything!

To the government, I want to say this “if you cannot get rid of the PTIs who are still selling fish, at least the government should impose high daily fees, for example double of what our hard working local hawkers are required to pay”. If not get rid of them once and for all. We don’t want our hard earned tax money wasted paying the salary of the minister responsible.

That is the reason why I say they are above the law. The PTIs in Keningau is above the Local Government. The government doesn’t have power over the PTIs. If the Minister doesn’t know about this, he better quit. We don’t want a minister who doesn’t know what to do. Because this problem has been going on for ages.

Don’t even say ‘we are working on it (solving PTIs issue)’

Dr. Chong Eng Leong has been saying about PTIs issue for decades.

What we want from the government is to solve the problems of PTIs which are in front of our eyes in Keningau. Don’t say “we manage to nab illegals 27 or 30 of them everyday I saw more than 100 of them in Keningau alone.

The government say they want to achieve zero PTIs. But when? How? I just hope the government will NOT legalize the PTIs in order to achieve ZERO PTIs.”
