PKR: Ministry funding Raja Nong Chik's Lembah Pantai goal?
Aug 24 - Federal Territories and Urban Well-being Minister Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin has been accused of spending a disproportionate amount of ministerial allocations on the Lembah Pantai constituency.
PKR vice-president Tian Chua said that this might be because Raja Nong Chik is widely tipped to be the Umno candidate for the Lembah Pantai seat in the next general election.
"There seems to be misappropriation of funds. I challenge the minister to explain that this is not because he is intending to contest in Lembah Pantai (in the general election).
“Come clean... if it is, then what he did so far... is an abuse of government resources for his political interests," Tian Chua (right) told a press conference at the PKR headquarters in Petaling Jaya today.
Among others, he said, the minister has been providing assistance of more than RM50,000 weekly to "leaders and organisations close to Umno".
The money is issued through the Kuala Lumpur City Hall bank accounts.
"This was shown to us by a witness, and we can provide the person's testimony if need be," said Fahmi Fadzil, political secretary to PKR Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar.
Raja Nong Chik, who heads the Lembah Pantai Umno and BN divisions, was appointed a senator in 2008.
Raja Nong Chik 'intensifying efforts' in Lembah Pantai
During the 2008 general election, Umno suffered a shock defeat in Lembah Pantai, where heavyweight incumbent Shahrizat Abdul Jalil lost s the seat to Nurul Izzah, then a PKR greenhorn.
Fahmi said while Raja Nong Chik has focused his efforts in Lembah Pantai for "a while now", his efforts have been intensified in the past month.
"If you go to his Facebook page, you will find that for every 30 programmes he hosts, only one will be outside Lembah Pantai," he said.
The other programmes held by the minister in the constituency include Projek 1 Komputer 1 Murid, Kedai Rakyat 1Malaysia, 1 Sumbangan 1 Keluarga, tuition centres and student loan (PTPTN) allocations.
PKR claims that all of these programmes are organised through Umno or Umno-friendly NGOs, most prominently Pusat 1Malaysia Lembah Pantai, with there being no differentiation between government service and party work.
"Raja Nong Chik (left) should take care of the well-being of all federal territories... or else he is neglecting his job.
"(But) if all these programmes in Lembah Pantai are purely coincidental, then we hope he will also look into Batu, Wangsa Maju, and so on so that all voters in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur will receive similar benefits," Tian Chua said.
On his official website, Raja Nong Chik or RNC is described as "a true local boy", having spent most of his teenage years in Lorong Limau Manis 2, Bangsar.
"Lembah Pantai has always been the place where it all began for RNC. His social and political activism all started there... RNC has seen how Lembah Pantai has transformed itself.
"He remembers the days when he started out in his social activism work during his early 30s... he feels proud to have come from here and witnessing the changes that have occurred over the years," the website reads.
