Council sent 22 workers to tear down plaque?
IPOH: Perak Pakatan Rakyat has accused the Ipoh City Council of misusing public funds by employing 22 workers to remove the memorial plaque under the Democracy Tree.
State DAP chief Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham said the council spent RM580.40 just to remove the plaque, RM150 for the use of an excavator, RM18 for the driver and RM412.40 in overtime claims for 20 of its enforcement staff.
“Why do they need to employ so many people to remove a tiny plaque? Why did they waste public funds by removing the plaque on a Sunday and paying overtime claims?
“It only took four of us to erect the plaque. I don’t understand why it took so many of them to remove it,” he said at a press conference here yesterday.
Ngeh said Tebing Tinggi assemblyman Ong Boon Piow had come to know of the costs when he went to the council to retrieve the plaque and the five tree signposts that the council had taken on Monday.
“He was asked to pay a total of RM830.40 – RM580.40 for the removal costs and RM250 as a fine.
“How can we be made to pay a fine when we were never even issued a summons?”
