Selangor lawmaker blames Noh Omar for fertiliser delay
Shuhaimi said the federal government has yet to supply fertilisers to farmers, pointing out that fertilisers should have been given in early October.
“Until now, no fertiliser has been given. The fertilisers were supposed to be delivered to all farmers by early October,” Shuhaimi told reporters today.
“There are complaints from farmers nationwide that the delay in handing out fertilisers has affected padi production,” he added.
Sekinchan assemblyman Ng Suee Lim predicted that the delay would cause a 30 per cent decline in padi production.
“If the fertilisers are sowed late, padi production will drop by 30 per cent,” he said.
Shuhaimi also alleged that Noh had awarded a contract for fertilisers in Selangor to an Umno Youth division chief, but did not name the individual.
“The contract was given to a certain Umno Youth division chief. We ask Noh Omar to explain this,” said Shuhaimi.
“Noh Omar does not need to worry about Yayasan Selangor. He needs to worry that farmers have not gotten their fertilisers,” he added.
Noh, also the Selangor Umno deputy chairman, had claimed over the weekend that the cost of Yayasan Selangor’s 40th anniversary luncheon would exceed RM800,000, instead of the foundation’s RM300,000 figure.
The luncheon was scheduled for today but was cancelled after the Selangor Sultan snubbed it over its exorbitant cost.
Today, Shuhaimi claimed that farmers in Tanjung Karang in Kuala Selangor had also sought help from Pakatan Rakyat (PR).
“If farmers in Tanjung Karang look for Pakatan Rakyat, something is wrong in Umno and BN (Barisan Nasional),” he said.
Ng reportedly received complaints from farmers in Tanjung Karang recently, who claimed that the federal government was shortchanging them by buying padi stocks from them at a low price.
The Sekinchan assemblyman also alleged that he was assaulted by at least 30 men, whom he claimed were Umno members, when he tried to meet the farmers.
Logging you in...
this low performance trap for a long, long time.
UMNO Youth consisting of young people are learning the ropes of corruption and thats bad news
Assaulted by UMNO people ? You should make a Police report as NOBODY is above the LAW
Minister of Agriculture you better look into these iso of worry about Yayasan Selangor spending.
Farmers short-changed ? another area you must look into it seriously.
Minister your hands are FULL.
More nutrtious then rice!
Subsidized fertlizers costing RM25 were sold by farmers to "crony" agents at RM5 then redistribute back to other farmers. Why ?? Fertlizers not up to specs and can't be used. Wake up NOH, all the subsidized input for padi not up to the required standard and teh country becomes a dumping ground for "racun perosak" by the jews...
YB Suhaimi and Ng Suee Lim is WRONG. According to the latest figures, padi yield drop by 50% latest season. Which means the shortfall of padi this year cld be 60% instead of the original 30% shortfall. Good for BERNAS.....make more money to import rice
