KUALA LUMPUR, July 8 — Bukit Gelugor MP Ramkarpal Singh today called for the establishment of a Royal Commission of Inquiry to determine the cause of the recent floods in Baling, Kedah.
"Takiyuddin’s justification for not having a RCI is premised on purported investigations being already carried out by the relevant departments such as the Kedah Forestry Department. The PAS man insisted that the relevant government agencies are already investigating the cause for the floods and headwater phenomenon that submerged several villages in the area.
He noted that Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor had been as quick to pass the buck when questioned over the existence of a Musang King durian plantation in the area, which is being blamed as a contributing factor to the floods. "As such, the findings of the state departments investigating the matter now will be subject to scrutiny which will allay fears of a cover up. Other experts may also be summoned to shed light on the matter,” he said.
Baling MP Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Rahim from Umno has backed calls for a thorough scrutiny into the large-scale floods that submerged12 villages and claimed three lives last Monday.
