No TAR College in Bintangor? Ask the Ting-Ding alliance

Ding Kuong Hing, MP for P208 Sarikei


Yes, again for the 2nd time, Sarikeian voters have been made jackass! The tycoon who had made a promise during the PRU13 has changed his mind not to fulfill his promise to donate and build TAR college in Bintangor. The same trick had been promised in 90s also during electoral season which resulted in "nil" fulfillment.

Frankly speaking, I knew from beginning that Ting - Ding alliance during the electoral campaign was just to lure the voters. For such a small town like Bintangor which is lacking in various types of education and supportive facilities, I personally do not believe that TAR college will be successful from business point of view. My statement is supported by another college named UCS in Sibu which has been around for quite awhile but has not really attracted many students to study there. Nowadays, most youngsters in Sarikei prefer to seek their tertiary educations and settle down elsewhere in Peninsular Malaysia or Singapore which provide them better opportunities and lucrative wages instead of living in limited hometown.

For an ordinary town like Sarikei which made up of mainly voters working in government services who are "obligated" to support to BN, there's still a thick feeling of taboo for most voters to cross a "X" for Pakatan.

Anyway, BN is good at manipulating their empty promises even when under scrutinized circumstance. The same goes to Ting-Ding fellowship. Now, instead of owing voters a public apology, they turn their back on DAP for the electoral related court mess. Read in the link below, as written by a pro-BN media.

I don't think Ding will resign because of tycoon Ting breaching his promise. Its just part of another BN's scam. So for the hopeful Sarikeians, will you bite the dust for the 3rd time because of another TAR college vision?

Have a nice day!
