KUANTAN (Bernama): Ketari Young Assemblyman Syefura Othman (Photo) says he was recently ordered to clear a complex for violating the conditional motion control (MCO) order in Selangor.
The young Syefura said that she would pay for the complex soon and that the police informed her that the case against her was considered resolved.
“I apologize for violating the conditional MCO SOP, which to some extent affected the Pahang state assembly session.
“I also apologize to all the people of Pahang for the mistake,” he said while debating the Supply Bill (Budget 2021) presented by Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail in Wisma Sri Pahang here on Tuesday (Nov 17) .
Young Syefura was previously criticized for uploading a photo of herself and four friends celebrating her birthday on Bagan Lalang beach, Selangor, on Instagram, which was later removed from the social media platform.
Selangor is among the states placed under a conditional MCO through Dec. 6, and travel to the state is prohibited without major business at the moment.
During their debate, Young Syefura questioned whether the data presented to the Pahang State Assembly regarding forest land, that is 2.05 million hectares or 57 percent of the state’s total 3.59 million area, they were accurate.
“I checked and found that the total forest area has not changed since 2017. Could that be so, when in fact, forest yield is a contributing factor to state government revenue and the amount has been increasing?” He said.
Meanwhile, Bilut Assemblyman Lee Chin Chen has proposed that assessments and land tax for hotel, homestay and restaurant operators be waived for three years, while license fees for street vendors lacking Customers due to the Covid-19 pandemic should also be exempted.
Lee said farmers should also receive special attention because some of them suffered losses when they were unable to collect produce or sell their crops during the MCO.
“I propose that a registration session be held for the provision of assistance such as subsidies for fertilizers and pesticides based on land area, thus easing the burden on farmers,” he said.
The assembly session continues tomorrow (November 18). – Bernama
