Another councillor who built without building plan

As the Klang municipal council prepares to demolish an illegally built satay house owned by a councillor, another restaurant – this time built by a state executive councillor – is in the spotlight for not having a building plan. 

The restaurant, specialising in banana leaf rice, is owned by State Unity and Plantation Workers Committee chairman Datuk K. Sivalingam. 

Sivalingam said the Shah Alam City Council had issued him a licence three years ago to run the restaurant.  

Teng had earlier claimed that it was impossible for Sivalingam’s restaurant to be legally built because records showed that he had only acquired the land last month. 

“Since there is no building plan, it is an illegal structure and the situation is similar to the DZ Satay House. The only difference is that the satay outlet was on government land while Sivalingam owns this land,” he said. 

Teng said that as a state executive councillor, the onus was on Sivalingam to explain why he had allowed the restaurant to operate in an illegal structure on his land.

Umno delegates who got “carried away” by the occasion and ended up playing to the gallery:

Malacca delegate Hasnoor Sidang Hussein bluntly stated that “Umno is willing to risk lives and bathe in blood in defence of race and religion”;

Umno Youth exco member Azimi Daim, a veteran at Umno assemblies, said “when tension rises, the blood of Malay warriors will run in our veins”; and

Perlis delegate Hashim Suboh, also no newcomer to the assembly, directed his question at youth chief Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein: “Datuk Hisham has unsheathed his keris, waved his keris, kissed his keris. We want to ask Datuk Hisham when is he going to use it.”
