BALLOTING TURNS INTO AGGRESSION


Night Market (Pasar Malam) hawkers are facing problem due to the reallocation of the night market at Serdang. In 29/11/2012, hawkers are asked to draw their location of stall. There are total of 527 places but there are less than that amount is given out during the draw session. Due to the lack of location, there are few hawkers unable to get their place to run their business. Moreover it is not fair to mix hawkers who had been selling for 30 over years and hawkers who just obtain the license to draw together. “MBSJ should give priority to hawkers who had been running their business for the past 30years “said Dato’ Liew Yuen Keong (Serdang MCA Chairman).

In addition MCA Serdang are empathy with those hawkers, because Chinese New Year is around the corner and these hawkers were asked to reallocate their stalls which will dramatically increase their burden as their business are part of their living. “MBSJ should have a dialog with those hawkers so that they will be given chance to voice out their opinion and dissatisfaction as well as their queries " said Dato’ Liew. “MBSJ should do it in a more transparency way and should not be influence with other parties” he added. Dato’ Liew also urged MBSJ to reveal the lists of hawkers’ name so that it will be more transparent on who gets the location.

Wong Jun Lik (committee member of Serdang MCA Public & Services Complaints) was being treated aggressively and threaten by a person wearing DAP Jacket and a person who is in black with sunglasses. Wong was actually being ask to go to Pusat Perdagangan Sri Kembangan to check out the drawing session of the reallocation of hawkers after Serdang MCA Public & Service Complaints Department receives numerous complaints from hawkers about their dissatisfaction of this reallocation. Unfortunately, Wong faced this kind of unpleasant situation. “Two people came holding at my T-shirt and then pulled me out aggressively. At that time, I felt that my life was being threatened and after that I made a police report. It is just an event by MBSJ and not a political event, why such an aggressive force was used on me?” Wong questioned.

Allan Liew (Chief of Serdang MCA Public Services & Complaints) was disappointed with this kind of aggressive act. “We only send people to go there to survey and get enquiry only when we receive complaints from people. We are not there interrupting anyone or any parties. Moreover I notice that Ean Yong Hian Wah used high handed way in dealing with hawkers in Serdang since he took over. He should be more aware on peoples’ right and empathy to them not to oppress them. In addition they are not following their policy C.A.T (competency, accountability, transparency). Pakatan say something but do another, CAKAP TAK SERUPA BIKIN” Liew said.

Dato Liew was also shocked with this matter because to him, Malaysian culture is multi-racial and all Malaysia respect each another. “Pakatan should not interfere with what MPSJ is doing. In addition, I could not even figure out what kind of political culture had brought into by Pakatan nowadays. This is must stop immediately. This kind of violence act is not only happening in Serdang , but also in other areas” Dato Liew said.
