Bukit Bendera MP Zairil Khir Johari will be in charge of approving RM700 flood aid to applicants from Tanjung Bungah after the state government bars assemblyman Teh Yee Cheu from doing so.
GEORGE TOWN: The Penang government has confirmed that DAP’s Tanjung Bungah assemblyman Teh Yee Cheu is barred from approving a RM700 aid for those in his constituency who were affected by last month’s unprecedented flash floods.
The responsibility now falls to Bukit Bendera MP Zairil Khir Johari, whose parliamentary constituency includes the state constituency of Tanjung Bungah.
Teh is the second assemblyman in Penang to be barred from approving the RM700 flood aid.
PKR’s Kebun Bunga assemblyman Cheah Kah Peng was similarly “relieved” from approving flood aid last month, with the responsibility handed over to neighbouring Pulau Tikus assemblyman Yap Soo Huey.
Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng had said that Cheah was barred as recommended by the state secretary who suggested some “internal procedural changes”.
Zairil said the action was taken against Teh following the latter’s announcement that he would leave the DAP in the next election and his apparent drop in performance as an assemblyman.
“YB Teh has publicly announced that he would leave the DAP and go against the Pakatan Harapan state government. In fact, there was a press report quoting him as saying he would contest against PH.
“So this is one hostile statement that is attributed to him. But at the same time, there has been the question of responsiveness.
“Taking all of the factors into account, the Penang government has decided to shift the final approving authority to me, instead of Teh. We are doing this so the flood victims get their aid on time,” Zairil told reporters today.
Zairil said by “responsiveness”, he meant that Teh was often out of reach and had skipped many constituency-related meetings and events.
“For the past year, he has slowed down and has become very low profile. He has been sort of not very active. A lot of people have tried contacting him and have complained to me, including the JKKK (village security and development committee) chairman.
“In the recent tragedies, such as the landslide in Tanjung Bungah and the recent floods, he has not been on the ground, not as before.
“I think before YB Teh has been quick and always on the ground. He has been less active.
“Our priority is to have all flood victims receive their aid. We could not take any risk. Most of them have chosen to have the money banked in directly to their accounts.
“I would like to stress that this does not affect Teh’s function as a state assemblyman,” Zairil said.
He said those whose applications had been approved for the flood aid could head to Komtar this Saturday to receive their RM700 assistance.
On claims by Teh that he was not informed about the state government’s decision, Zairil said an email from Penang State Secretary Farizan Darus was sent to him on Nov 20.
FMT has contacted Teh for comment and is awaiting his reply. -FMT
