can the minister use the funds tp purchase oku friendly vans just like the van MBPJ have to transport the OKU, four drive cannot transport OKU it is about time we put our heads together and think 50 years we left to the Minister to decide nothing happen .to day we the OKU can demand because we know that the Government have given the less forunate and the needy and we intent to play our part to see where the funds go I Hvve spoken to the internal Audit to the Goverment to see how the Funds for the needy are spent. Now i am going the Ecnomy Divisiuon on why are the fund allocate for the needy and the OKU>
200mil bucks to upgrade the JKM? i dont get it. why do they need a ridiculous amount of money to upgrade their offices instead of channeling it directly to the needy? and how the hell would it help us when more stuff is hired? this has been the case all along. whenever money comes a knocking we have to settle half of the amount, and JKM gets the rest. wonderful.
