BUKIT MERTAJAM (April 22, 2008): Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng wants the new Seberang Perai Municipal Council (MPSP) councillors to find out how MPSP’s reserves depleted from RM266 million in 2000 to only RM25.6 million last year.
“This is a surprising and scary figure, for money to disappear in such a short period,” he said at the swearing in ceremony of 23 MPSP councillors here today.
Lim said it would be challenging for MPSP to be financially sovereign and a good financial establishment, but he is positive that the MPSP can pull through.

What I think?
Only 10% left? That’s only like MPSP, mainland’s municipal council, and mainland is like a small town! Do you need that much money? Let’s see what they do with the money.
Local Council Building at Bandar Perda, Bukit Mertajam (see how luxurious they workers could be)
Are they paying high for those people work inside the building? Do you think the whole building is occupied?
This is the new building. The old building which is located beside the Mahkamah Seksyen along Jalan Betik is being abandoned. According to this, it is said there were too much noise that made the environment not conducive. Therefore, they should move to a better area where there is less noise. (doh?)
They have got old garbage trucks, untidy garbage bins (those situated by the roadsides), worn-out garbage collectors (I don’t think they are being good paid) etc. I thought they should fix these as they have got a lot of money to spend.
Plus, the summons they have issued for the past few years, where have those money gone? Whose pockets? Thanks to CM Lim Guan Eng who voiced out this matter and hopefully this matter will be solved. I wonder why this matter didn’t rise up for the past few years, is there briberies going on?
