Samy Vellu embarrassed? Maybe a Post as Minister without Portfolio will be GOOD

I saw this in Utusan and I am surprise to note that Samy Vellu is embarrassed. And I always thought that the mighty Samy is untouchable even to the extent blaming God for some of the problem. I remember an embarrassing moment when there is a blackout in Malaysia and he immediately comment that it was an act of God. I was told immediately after that, India came out in their headlines about Samy and it became a joke of the day in the hectic life of the Indian people.

Samy Vellu as far as I read and seen in the TV and press is never a shy person. An Architect by profession, he uses his profession blaming everything except himself. And this is a known fact. Like in the news below still blaming his officers, which he is always good at. Why can't he take responsibility and be accountable, doesn't he know that he is the Boss in his own ministry. More so he has been there for donkey years. Maybe he should take up constitutional law and study individual and collective responsibility of Ministers. Just step down.

Maybe it's time for him to come to his senses for him to just take responsibility and resign from his portfolio. Or maybe an appointment as Minister without Portfolio. The PM should appoint another who can do the job and I believe there are many more people who are willing and capable to make Malaysia a better place. A lot of money has been spent in building and millions are spend for repair work.

What about the promise by the PM to have good delivery standards in government departments? Are these just promises? All Malaysians want to see a walk the talk government. With the recent flood, the collapse of government buildings, leakage etc has not cause the Minister concern an embarrassment, but I believe it causes Malaysian in general even greater embarrassment of such substandard in our quality of construction. We have the best airport. We have the tallest twin tower. We have many super structures and yet we hear news of government building falling apart. I simply don't get it.

The Utusan online taken are as follows:-

Menteri Kerja Raya, Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu yang malu dengan beberapa siri kerosakan di bangunan kerajaan sejak akhir-akhir ini mengeluarkan arahan tegas agar kejadian tersebut tidak berulang serta memulihkan maruah Jabatan Kerja Raja (JKR) (The Minister, Samy Vellu is embarassed with the many damage in government building recently as such gave strict orders so that such incident will not be repeated and at the same time to restore confidence of Public Work Department (PWD)

Beliau berkata, maruah JKR tercemar teruk di mata orang ramai dan dunia yang menyebabkan kontraktor dari negara ini sukar mendapatkan kontrak baru di luar negara.(Samy says, PWD's credibility has been shattered by the public and also in the world as contractors in this country finds difficulty in getting contracts outside of Malaysia)

‘‘Saya perlu mengeluarkan arahan-arahan tegas dan keras ini memandangkan saya malu untuk berhadapan dengan Kabinet, rakan-rakan di luar negara dan orang ramai yang kini memandang rendah terhadap keupayaan JKR,’’ katanya. (I have to give strict order as I'm embarrassed to face the Cabinet, friends in overseas and many who frowns against credibility of JKR)
