I am the DAP candidate for STULANG. Although I did not succeed in 2004 when I stood in Stulang, I have continued to serve the people of Stulang and Johor Bahru as I had promised to do.
Stulang is a highly urban constituency with many housing areas and businesses. Many of the businesses like restaurant, shopping and entertainment centres located in Taman Pelangi and Sentosa are also the focal point of foreign visitors particularly Singaporeans to Stulang.
However, the people of Stulang faces problems with:-
CRIME… INFRASTRUCTURES… DELIVERY
Crime continues to be a problem. Barisan Nasional has failed to deliver its promise of lower crime. Snatch thieves...burglary…robbery and murders still happen and too frequently. No surprise Johor Bahru is known as Jenayah Banyak People live in fear and worry. Many people of Stulang and Johor Bahru have fallen victim. Some have have lost their lives. Many victims do not even bother to report due to the inconvenience of making police reports. The high incidence of crime also gives a bad image to Stulang and Johor Bahru. Stulang and Johor Bahru businesses rely much on foreign visitors. Crime is beginning to discourage visitors and as a result business drops.
Infrastructures like roads are in poor conditions. The roads in Stulang and Johor Bahru are in deplorable condition because of poor workmanship and it is poorly maintained. Potholes and uneven roads are everywhere. No surprise Johor Bahru is known as “Jalan Buruk” There are streets with poor lighting. Drainage in may areas is poor. All this pose a danger to the public. Open and green spaces are being lost to development and becoming coming rare.
Delivery system by the local council is still bureaucratic and continues to inconvenient the public. Unnecessary time is wasted when dealing with the local council. Local councils waste public taxpayers money with shoody workmanships and on other non priority things. Local Councils also waste money on study trips abroad which are in truth nothing but holidays. Local council regulations implemented without due consideration and implemented without proper consultation inconveniences business.
It need not continue to be like this. This election you have a choice . To continue to vote for Barisan Nasional who promised to deliver so much but on being elected failed on it promise or an effective and stronger opposition who is prepared to provide an effective check and balance to the government. You the voter have a choice to stand condemned repeating the past mistakes and failures or to change and give the opposition. You have a choice. You can change. You have the choice to vote for someone who is prepared to stand up for the people... speak without fear and dedicate service to the people. I am prepared… I am ready to serve… I promise to serve. Give me a chance.
VOTE DAP. VOTE NORMAN FERNANDEZ
I, PROMISE…
I shall fight to ensure…
