PN needs to be a more responsible opposition bloc in Selangor

[superadmin]

WITH Perikatan Nasional (PN) now having wrestled 22 seats in Selangor thus denying the Pakatan Harapan-Barisan Nasional (PH-BN) alliance of its two-thirds majority, it is high time for the coalition to play the checks-and-balance role effectively if indeed it wants to be a formidable alterative bloc.

PH has been having a good time pushing through its own agenda rather than listening to the voices of the people. With the exception of former DAP veteran, Ronnie Liu, backbenchers and the Opposition members were relatively silent over a number of issues.

Among them are issues pertaining to the PJD-Link, logging in forest reserve lands, mega projects which benefit only certain quarters, stray animals and poor governance.

The bulk of the issues which are local government-related such as potholes, illegal carwash and hawkers, poor street lighting, flash floods, illegal dumps, poor maintenance of public amenities are major sore points for the people on a daily basis.
