Luqman's musings

  On 6 June 2026, I sent an official complaint via email to the Director of Education, Selangor, followed by a registered letter on 8 June 2026.After receiving no reply, I followed up with another email this morning,19.6.2026, and a telephone call. The Director’s Personal Assistant, Puan Aliah, who answered my call, informed me that the Director has instructed the complaint to be forwarded to the Integrity Department for further action. I asked her to acknowledge receipt of my email and have yet to receive it.  Now, I'll wait for another two weeks to see if this matter has to be escalated.   For those who missed my earlier post, below is the English translation of the email and formal letter I sent to the Director.

  I was thrilled to receive the email from the Ministry of Local Government and Housing (KKTP) and decided to write to the integrity department (BIGoNS).

  The call for senior officials, such as those from the Occupational Crime and Corruption Investigation (OCCI) and even the Chief Police (CP), to temporarily go on leave during investigations into serious cases, as suggested in the Zara Qairina Mahathir case, highlights the need for proactive accountability. Daily Express  The activist’s point, suggests that such an investigation should be automatic when a case involves a minor’s death under questionable circumstances, especially with allegations of bullying and visible injuries like bruises reported by the victim’s mother. Similarly, in the Vistana Heights case, an automatic investigation should have been initiated upon my initial complaint to the Kota Kinabalu City Hall (DBKK) and the Department of Land and Survey (LJS) regarding the fabricated as-built survey report.

The Vistana Heights project's development plan was approved by you in 2011. The subsequent Development Plan was prepared and submitted to DBKK in 2018 after the project was completed. The plan was based on fabricated as-built survey. The 2018 Development Plan does not conform to the as-built survey plan and is different from the plan approved by you in 2011.

  During the DBKK (Dewan Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu) meetings held on May 5, 2025, and June 11, 2025, the Director General (DG), summarily dismissed my inquiry regarding whether a retaining wall was mandated in the development plans for Vistana Heights. This raises questions about the basis for his confident assertion that no retaining wall was required in the development plans approved in 2018. How can he be so certain of this claim? Is he implying that the officers and the mayor who approved the 2018 development plan overlooked critical structural requirements or acted negligently? 

  Most (not all) of the rich and powerful in Sabah seem to thrive on a baffling kind of stupidity. According to LJS, a shadowy figure dubbed “The Authority” holds enough sway to order the Lembaga Jurukur Sabah to suppress the results of the Vistana Heights spot level survey done in  June 2023. If this is true, this individual must be among Sabah’s most powerful, pulling strings that reach far beyond a single development.
