Theft in Paradise - Kelantan admits leakage in sand mining dockets

Corruption or they call it leakage in PAS Shangri-La Kelantan. Why not use the direct word corruption or the honest word which is stealing. Stealing of sand can only be done if the Contractor , lorry drivers , enforcement officers, State mining officials and all who are involved it the theft of sand mining theft are agreeable. Are they willing to chop of their own people’s hands for stealing and if yes than there will be a lot of them in Kelantan PAS.

Power is a two edged sword and one is for bad and one is for good. All depends how one uses. Look at Kelantan not even an arrest by MACC because not that are no corruption and stealing by state civil servants and the political leadership but the Police and MACC as a Federal agency is used as a carrot and stick. For Kelantan this has helped to herd the present PAS leadership towards BN-UMNO. Nothing much to say about something which is rotten because whatever you say or do it smells the same a rotten smell

Kelantan admits leakage in sand mining dockets

State government expects revenue from sand mining to go up from RM600,000 in 2015 to RM4.8 million this year with stricter enforcement.

OTA BHARU: The Kelantan state government has admitted there were leakages in the collection of dockets from sand mining.

State Infrastructure, Utilities and Information Technology Committee chairman Hanifa Ahmad said the state government had intensified enforcement on the docket (a form for the production of minerals) collection and received support from the sand mining operators.

“For example, in 2015, our revenue was more than RM600,000.

“However, for the first two months of this year, after various serious enforcement actions being implemented, we collected RM800,000.

“With an average of RM400,000 a month, the government expects the docket collection for 2017 to be at RM4.8 million.

“The docket rate is at RM1.65 per tonne,” he told the Kelantan Legislative Assembly sitting at the Kota Darul Naim Complex here today.

He was replying to a question from Azami Mohd Nor (PAS-Kadok) who wanted to know about the leakages in the docket collection from sand mining activities in the state.

Earlier, Hanifa had replied to a question submitted by Md Alwi Che Ahmad (BN-Kok Lanas) who requested for a list of companies that succeeded in getting open tenders for sand mining in the state for 2017.

Meanwhile, outside the assembly, Alwi told reporters that PAS’ allegations that there were leakages at the federal level have now implicated things as well.

“Not only has Umno suffered leakages over the years, but now they (PAS) have leakages, too. This means that leakages occur everywhere.

“I have shown them where the leakages are, now the state government must rectify the problem,” he said.
