Derek Fernandez reminds ruling coalition that its leaders once spoke out against similar transgressions by the previous administration.

May 4, 2019 2:31 PM

Derek Fernandez said prior to the May 9 polls, Pakatan Harapan MPs in Kuala Lumpur attacked the Barisan Nasional and the former FT minister after residents were denied access to critical reports and documents, such as the development impact proposal report and the traffic impact assessment report, among others.

“This is the mantra PH repeatedly chanted when in the opposition, with their war cry of ‘Reformasi’ and ‘Ubah’ in governance,” he said in a statement.But DBKL, Fernandez said, is now appealing a decision of the Court of Appeal which held that residents have a right to such documents which were denied to them during the BN administration because of abuses by the previous administration.

The court accepted the residents’ argument that they were unable to present their case in a meaningful way under Rule 5 of the Federal Territory Planning Act 1982, which allows public participation in areas of planning and development control.
