Luqman's musings

My emails to higher authorities have not gone to waste. There has been no response but action has been taken. Here is an extract from the Borneo post article dated 13.10.2025.

  PUTRAJAYA:   Privatisation that ignores governance and accountability risks becoming "robbery by the minute," or what Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim described as "piratisation." LINK Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim says the government must be open to feedback and criticism for the nation to progress.

                                                    click on the image above for a clearer view. Recent political developments in Malaysia, highlighted by a controversy involving Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and PN chief Muhyiddin Yassin, bear striking similarities to issues of trust and oversight in local governance, such as the case of the Kota Kinabalu mayor and the chairman of Lembaga Juruukur Sabah (LJS). Both instances underscore the risks of relying on unverified information and the subsequent demand for accountability.

                                                     Your help needed to resolve the predicament of Dr.Faisal Luqman Luqman Michel <luqmanmichel@gmail.com> 5:18 AM (13 hours ago) "YB Datuk Ir. Shahelmey bin Yahya" <shahelmey.yahya@sabah.gov.my> cc:        hajiji.noor@sabah.gov.my to YB, hajiji.noor   Dear YB Datuk Shahelmey Yahya,   I am writing to you again about Dr. Faisal Luqman’s plight concerning his house which was issued with an occupancy certificate based on a fraudulent as-built survey submitted to DBKK.

  The above is the headline in yesterday’s, 6.8.2023, Daily Express . Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is determined to put a stop to corrupt practices and irregularities which he said seemed to have become systemic and damaged the previous administration. He claimed that the previous governments were beset by the practice of officials asking for a ‘commission’. I have avoided talking about ‘commission’ as I have no evidence of the same. But, I have questioned how DBKK approved the Vistana Heights project that flouted many of the laws - rules and regulations - in the Housing and Town Development Authority Enactment.

‘ Anwar warned that no one will be spared from prosecution for corruption regardless of their status.’ What is the best way to fight corruption? i.                      expose corrupt activities and risks. ii.                    keep the public sector honest, transparent and accountable. iii.                  stop dishonest practices. iv.                  ensure public sector employees act in the public interest.
