KUCHING, Feb 1 — It is the right of every Sarawakian to question the government’s spending on any project or infrastructure, says Bandar Kuching MP Dr Kelvin Yii.
“The Sarawak minister cannot simply expect the public to appreciate it and dismiss this issue, and merely claim that the ‘Sarawak government has its reasons’ when this involves public interest,” he said in a statement yesterday. “This, in my view, is a clear misplace of priorities and a misplaced ‘obsession of optics over substance’,” he said.
“Such a thing has to be properly clarified; if not, it would give a perception that the Premier’s Office’s clarification was merely an afterthought after the backlash from Sarawakians themselves. “That is why it is imperative for the government to be transparent and continue to hold accountability in this matter, including justifying the cost of the project itself, which is said to be RM30 million for a 99-metre flagpole.
