Critics must take note of certain realities before taking me to task and they must remember that I have to attend to the welfare of KL as a whole.
I used to enjoy reading fairy tales and all the myths found in them. But that was when I was a child. Little did I know that I would find myself surrounded by so many myths at my current age. And as a minister at that!
The mandate of the people gives you power as the executive but the judiciary doesn’t decide based on who is in power. Or at least it should not. The law is still the law and contracts and agreements must be fulfilled. If one breaks it, one must be prepared to bear the consequences – even if one is the government in power or one of its agencies.
For the time being, the courts have declared various development orders, contracts and agreements in question as being valid. As a minister, I cannot govern based on the word “if”. I was told to do my homework in relation to the Taman Rimba Kiara project. I wonder, have they done theirs? Do they know how much was the land premium, and the development charge paid? Have they asked? Do they believe in a myth which says it was all free?Myth: If he has a different opinion he has not had legal advice.
So please let us not be so presumptuous. I know I have not checked with you but you are not the only lawyers in town. Of that I am sure.I am sure the courts will be surprised by this myth. The only way one will know how much one has to pay is to go to court if the estimated amount is disputed. Some expenses you consider not claimable, such as interest charges on money paid earlier, and it is no small sum, may be considered claimable by the court.
