On 6 August 2025, I received a call from BIGoNS inviting me to attend a meeting on 12 August 2025.The meeting proceeded as scheduled. During the session, the chairman assured me that the minutes would be provided by the following Friday. Drawing from prior experiences with other government officials, where such documents have often been delayed, I proactively sent an email to BIGoNS on 13 August 2025, outlining the key discussions to ensure an accurate record. The following matters were discussed: Attendees were: Puan Siti Fairuz , Puan Jennifer, Puan Andrea , Enc. Fauzi , my wife Mariam and me. The meeting was chaired by Puan Andrea.

  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).

  Yesterday I read a Tweet by a friend, Ir.Kumar @skumar176 quoting Clarence Darrow.   “True patriotism hates injustice in its own land more than anywhere else.” It suggests that a genuine love for one’s country isn’t about blind loyalty or flag-waving; it’s about holding your nation to a higher standard. True patriots, Darrow implies, are more outraged by wrongs at home because they expect better from their own people, their own system. It’s a call to focus on fixing your own house before pointing fingers elsewhere.

On June 11, 2025, the second meeting was held at DBKK, attended by two officers from the Integrity Department. During the meeting, we received the minutes of the May 5, 2025, meeting, prepared and signed by DBKK City Engineer Lilitia Jenneh and checked and signed by Mr. Kalvin Liaw, Director of the Building Control Department. Notably, the minutes lacked the signature of Sr. Lifred Wong, the Director General, raising suspicions of intentional omission rather than an oversight.

  Here is an email to the mayor dated 1.7.2025. Copied to integrity department. No response. To:mayor@dbkk.sabah.gov.my Cc:wdahlan@jpa.gov.my,marziana.malik@jpa.gov.my,sitifairuz.hussin@sabah.gov.my Tue 1 Jul at 07:10 Dear Datuk Mayor,

  At the meeting with DBKK together with the surveyor and architect the Director General, Sr. Lifred Wong asked the surveyor to do a survey of the platform and road heights at no 9 Vistana Heights. Since then, I have requested for the survey and have yet to receive it. As mentioned earlier, Sr. Lifred Wong tried to mislead those present with figures that were not in the original as-built drawing.  LINK

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.
