CANCEL INCREASE OF HOUSING BUMI QUOTA IN KEDAH IMMEDIATELY

I refer to the decision earlier by DAP Kedah to withdraw its intention to stop supporting the PAS-led Kedah state government.

I understand that the retraction of DAP Kedah’s intention is based on Menteri Besar Kedah’s assurance to resolve various issues in Kedah, including:-

1.the increase of Bumi Quota for certain housing development from 30% to 50%; and

2.the replacement of the recently demolished pig abattoir at Alor Star.

However, to date, none of the aforesaid had been actually resolved. Unlike the construction of a new pig abattoir or slaughterhouse which may take more time, the increase of the Bumi Quota could be immediately cancelled in any of the EXCO meeting of Kedah without any unnecessary further delays.

Thus, I hope that the Menteri Besar Kedah would immediately cancel the increase of the Bumi Quota without any unnecessary further delays.
