Recently a certain individual has been writing untruthful things about me as the local councilor for Pusat Bandar Puchong and also irresponsibly spreading these lies through his egroup about how I had acted towards him in MPSJ on Friday June 25th 2010 after a meeting regarding the "rayuan pembangunan untuk projek cssb dan pmssb - at the hutan simpan ayer hitam" (the hillslope development by Citrasama and Benua Ehsan on PNSB land.).
His version sounded like this:
He accused me of saying he was not welcomed to the meeting and that he did not represent any association and that I had asked him to “get out' from the room”. He also claimed that at that time he was “attack by some people” that he did not know but they claimed they were from Wawasan 4.
He also claimed that he wrote his name onto the attendance list as asked by a senior MPSJ Officer (But I later checked with this officer and found out that no such thing happened and in fact this said person was not even on the list of invited persons for that particular meeting).
This person also claimed that I had abused him verbally and kicked him out of the meeting room saying he was not welcomed, and that he was not staying in Pusat Bandar Puchong and so forth..
The real version (witnessed by at least 7 people):
We started a little after 3pm and actually concluded at about 4:30pm. This “person” walked in when everyone was standing around drinking tea and chatting with each other. He called to me from behind and I greeted him and even shook his hand.

After a few minutes as I was leaving with some residents (from Wawasan 4, Sri Penanga, Bayan Hills, and some others), we caught him trying to sign his name onto the attendance sheet when in fact he did not even attend the meeting. I then asked him what he was doing because it is standard procedure that if someone has not participated in a meeting that person cannot sign his name on the attendance sheet. I told him he cannot do that, it is improper procedure. (For that matter, he was not even on the list of invitees and did not receive an official invitation letter.)
I then left the room and got into my car. All this happened in a matter of seconds...not even minutes. There were at least 7 eyewitnesses from the residents and MPSJ staff who can attest to what really happened then.
This person was obviously surprised that we caught him trying to commit an illegal act of falsifying his attendance in a meeting he was not invited to and let alone trying to sign the attendance sheet. Thus he has created these stories to cover up for his guilty actions.
This type of unnecessary “drama” is actually distracting us from the truth at hand which is the issue of the hill slope development project on Air Hitam. All these while the issue has been consistently discussed and dealt with by the real resident representatives, MPSJ council, elected representatives YB Gobind, YB Teresa Kok and the respective local councilors according to the proper procedures as instructed by Lembaga Rayuan Kerajaan Negeri Selangor. The latest developments have recently been clarified and explained in the mass media. There is no development on top of the hill and the developers are still appealing to the State appeal Board “Lembaga Rayuan” and the process is being investigated. (Refer to news cutting in JKP blog).

This kind of habitual lying will definitely help no one except for those who intentionally want to spread them for whatever reasons which fail my comprehension! I appeal to fair minded and concerned residents not to listen to lies and please do not be made used of by irresponsible people. If you have queries go to the right people at the MPSJ, your elected ADUNs or MPs, your local councilor and the JKP appointed to deal with local issues in your area. There is much to do to improve the development of Pusat Bandar Puchong!
