GEORGE TOWN: Take a 10% pay cut if Pakatan Rakyat is serious about helping the
rakyat – that is the message Datuk Roslan Saidin (BN – Pinang Tunggal) has for
Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng.
He said the money could then be used to lighten the people’s burden.
“Lim and all his state executive council members should take a pay cut instead
of harping about their CAT (competency, accountability and transparency)
philosophy.
“The state has been talking about travelling economy class and all but what is
it really doing for the people?
“The state is playing politics just for publicity’s sake when it should be
concentrating on improving the lives of the people,” he said.
Roslan, who was debating a motion of thanks on the Yang di-Pertua Negri’s
speech, later challenged Deputy Chief Minister (I) Mohammad Fairus Khairuddin to
come up with a blueprint ensuring development for bumiputras.
“Tell us what social, economic and educational development you are going to
bring for the Malays who cannot even afford low-cost housing?” he asked.
At this point, A. Thanasekaran (DAP – Bagan Dalam) interjected, saying that
housing problems were not confined to one race.
