MB: Centre is for all - Star

July 18, 2009

THE Perak Barisan Nasional Public Services and Com-plaints Centre was set up to help and serve the people regardless of their race or political leanings.

Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir, who officially opened the centre in Ipoh yesterday, said the public should not hesitate to seek help there.

”This is a place for all. It is not necessarily for Barisan or its supporters but for all the rakyat including those who do not support us.

“We do not discriminate against those who come to get help,” he said at the centre’s opening ceremony recently.

Dr Zambry said that since its opening a month ago, the centre had handled 28 cases ranging from those seeking donations for health or medical problems to complaints on flood and rubbish problems.

”The centre takes all complaints seriously and the assemblymen will do their best to solve them,” he said, adding that the centre had resolved six cases to date.

He later handed out donations collected from the public to housewife Lew Chew Chuan who is the mother of three-year-old heart patient Lim Wei Jin, cancer patient Choi Choi Yok, 39, and the family of Lam Siew Kang, who needs funds to remove her cataract.

Perak Barisan information chief Datuk Hamdi Abu Bakar is adviser to the centre while its chairman is former Tronoh assemblyman Datuk Lee Kon Yin.

The centre located at 17B, Jalan Seenivasagam, 30450 Ipoh, Perak, is open from 9am to 5pm daily.

To seek help, call 05-2554916 or fax enquiries to 05-2544 916.
