While rakyat queues for water, public tankers make special deliveries to VIPs
Even as dry taps begin to flow in Selangor, frustrated netizens were not amused upon learning that VIPs were allegedly getting special treatment by having water in tankers delivered directly to their homes.
Among the VIPs were Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari and his family. There were also allegations that federal ministers were getting the same special deliveries.
Unlike ordinary Selangor residents who were forced to purchase bottled water or wait in line for water, an Instagram posting by Amirudin's wife, Masdiana Muhammad, which had gone viral, showed an Air Selangor tanker parked right in front of their house with a hose entering the driveway.
"Thank you Air Selangor for sending water.
"I understand you are the frontliner right now, may Allah bless your services," said a part of Masdiana's caption on the photograph.
A separate screenshot from Masdiana's Instagram story posting yesterday also showed her children swimming in their private pool, with the caption: "Bila air takde" (when there is no water).
Netizens who commented on Masdiana's posting, in turn, shared their own photographs of queueing by the roadside to fill up water from public pipes or water tankers.
When contacted, Air Selangor confirmed that it had sent a tanker to Amirudin's official residence.
"Yes, Air Selangor did send water to the MB's house," Air Selangor corporate communications chief Elina Baseri told Malaysiakini.
Quizzed whether it was standard practice for Air Selangor to deliver water directly to the menteri besar's house, Elina said: "We don’t just send to the MB’s house. We do our best to send and help all our customers.
"If you noticed in our press release, we even received help from other states because our tankers are not enough to accommodate 1.2 million accounts," she added.
When it was pointed out that the rakyat's unhappiness was due to the alleged double standard by Air Selangor, Elina declined comments and directed further questions to Amirudin's office.
An aide to Amirudin later told Malaysiakini that Masdiana had in a separate Instagram posting today apologised for her initial posts.
"I realise my error in uploading the initial photos that had given rise to various interpretations.
"In fact, there were people saying the tanker was sent to fill up the pool. That is absolutely not true," she said.

Masdiana denied having any intentions to boast, but rather, the posts were her sign of appreciation for the Air Selangor staff who were hard at work.
"Therefore I apologise if my action gave rise to any misinterpretation or hurt anyone's feelings," she added.
Meanwhile, Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh took to Twitter and hinted at alleged special treatments given to federal ministers.
"Houses of ministers in Bukit Damansara, I urge to consider requests from other residents there for water tankers.
"Let the tankers move according to the order of the roads there. Wait for your turn," said Yeoh in reference to the area which also covers Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin's residence.

Najib: I'm responsible for getting durian exported to China

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak today proclaimed himself as the one responsible for getting the national fruit, durian exported to China.
In his speech at the National Farmers and Fishermen's Day in Serdang today, Najib recounted a previous visit to Chow Kit, which saw durian being sold for RM1 per fruit.
"But today, the 'musang king' durian is sold for more than RM100 per kilogramme because we have opened a new market in China. "I want to tell all of you here, that I was the one responsible for getting permission for durian to be exported to China," he said...

Save Musang King Alliance chairman calls Najib’s criticism of him a diversionary tactic
Friday, 04 Sep 2020
BY RADZI RAZAK
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 4 ― Save Musang King Alliance (Samka) chairman Chang Yee Chin today questioned a Facebook post by former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak “exposing” him as DAP councilman at the Kajang City Council and asking why DAP is at the forefront of the durian farmers’ dispute in Pahang. In a statement tonight, Chang said that he was born and raised in Raub, Pahang and educated at SJKC Sungai Lui and SMJK Chung Ching. He said he resigned as a councilman in February because he wanted to cultivate his parent’s durian grove after their health had declined.
“A long time ago, my family was very poor and my father started exploring the Klau River at the urging of the government, and I am a second-generation settler. My family and I have tried many times to get land ownership but failed. We are still trying our best. “After that, I worked in the city, and at that time, I got to know DAP. I joined the Dutamas branch of DAP because of its ideology. I was appointed to the Kajang council in 2018 because of my caring attitude towards the local community. “I’m willing to lead this campaign not because I am a member of DAP, but my friends and I, whether Chinese or Malay, face the same problem: the government is conspiring with private corporations to seize what we have created with our sweat. My father’s hard work was eliminated in the blink of an eye, (and my) family’s life is at great risk,” he said in a statement today.
In a post today, Najib shared photos and Chang’s social media of him as the Balakong state assemblyman’s special officer in an effort to prove that DAP is behind the durian farmers’ resistance movement in Pahang. He alleged that this is also the reason why Pakatan Harapan (PH) and DAP leaders including veteran Lim Kit Siang have intervened in the issue and urged the media to mention Chang’s DAP membership when reporting the issue.

ReplyDelete“Lim said using the name ‘royal’ would give the perception that durian farmers are now against ‘royalty’ (royal family). “This means that even if the Pahang government wants to negotiate, they are not negotiating with durian growers but negotiating with DAP. “As long as it is highly politicised, it will be very hard for this issue to be resolved peacefully. “I hope the local media will also start mentioning the relationship between the Samka chairman and DAP/PH when they report on the controversy of the Raub durian growers,” he said.
Chang said Najib had deliberately linked agricultural policy and land issues with racial issues to divert attention from the issue of alleged exploitation by private and government corporations.
“DS Najib has slandered me and other farmers by claiming that we are not willing to negotiate with the government. He is the one who is trying to politicise the issue. “Maybe DS Najib is a busy person, or his PR team is not very professional, or they are not willing to take the time to research and understand this crisis or the demands of Samka.
