Don't Be Fearful In Voicing Grievances: Zambry

BATU GAJAH, May 26 (Bernama) -- The people should not be fearful or apprehensive in bringing up housing, illegal settlement and land problems to the state government, said Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir.

"Tell us your woes, we will solve them according to priority as fast as we can.

"We are giving top priority to housing and resettlement problems, not the type of titles whether it is 999 years or 99 years," he told reporters after holding a dialogue at the Kinta District meet-the-clients day here Tuesday.

Zambry said the state government would not discriminate constituencies represented by the opposition.

Zambry later led state executive councillors in a walkabout at the Batu Gajah market to hear the grievances of the traders before visiting Batu Gajah Hospital.

Speaking to reporters after meeting Umno veteran members in Ipoh later, he said the opposition's three-day hunger strike to press for the state assembly to be dissolved would not threaten the security of the state.

He said it was a ploy to gain the people's sympathy and to tarnish the image of Perak as if it was in a state of upheaval and politically unstable.

"They will do all sort of things to get the attention of the people and the world.

"We do not know what they will do next. But gradually it will backfire as the people are getting fed up with their antics," he said.
