local councils - forget about spying

The local councils have so much work to do. Yet the officers seem to indulge in peeping private lives of others. Because to generate revenue to its coffers. My perception is the officers have nothing else to do. Blocked drains, poor rubbish collections, poor garden maintenance in public areas, poor enforcement, never want to handle complaints, passing bucks around, poor assessment rates collection running to millions....yet they can spend time catching amorous couples in public or dark places. I should think they should devise a proper system to collect assessment rates from the property owners than allowing debts to accumulate into millions. This show how efficient these officers are. Poor perception only want to do the easy work. I still maintain that local councils shouldn't involve in passing laws or bylaws. It is the work of Parliament. Let the MPs decide. The local councils become the LORD of the people. Even PM has lost control over his administration. I read last month even a chief minister didnt know how much taxes his local council imposed in his state. When it was brought up by an opposition member he disputed the percentage charge yet it was true...Now it was timely that the Minister had dialogues with all local council presidents in Lumut, hopefully something good can be brought into focus in the administration of the local councils. Sometimes I wonder whether we are slowly going to be the next Taliban as the officers carrying out their tasks to patrol the morality of the people.

Malaysia wake up and go! The honeymoon is over. Time to walk the talk!!!
