Clearly another implication of Ong's statement is that all previous MCA Ministers since Merdeka who held the post as Minister of Housing and Local Government, were ineffective and useless as none of them could do in 30 years what Ong Ka Ting did in 5 years.
For Ong to boast about his success in getting allocation of RM326 million for new villages, which is part of rural development, as compared to the total amount of RM 16.6 billion is irresponsible, misleading and ridiculous.
Ong can only boast of a real success in getting equal treatment for new villages if he can secure their rightful share of development funds in proportion to their population.
