Delivery system call goes
unheeded
29/12/2006 The Star By
CONCERNED CITIZEN, Kuala Lumpur.
MANY of us are still turning a deaf ear to Prime Minister Datuk Seri
Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s call to cut red tape and improve the public delivery
system.
A case in point is the section responsible for the overseeing of the
documentations for the transfer of properties like homes and apartments in
the Official Assignee’s Office.
The process normally takes one to two months. The fee is RM500.
But of late there is a long delay of more than six months. Such delays are
causing havoc in the system for the banks and the new owners seeking
accommodation.
Follow-up calls to Official Assignee’s Office are always met with excuses
like so-and-so is on leave, or gone for a course.
There seems no appreciation for the urgency of the matter, which only leads
one to conclude that this tidak apa attitude is still rearing its ugly head
in some sections of the civil service.
This mind set, if not changed, will eventually lead to disastrous
consequences.
Can someone in the Official Assignee’s Office, please do something to make
that change and be counted as one who heeds the Prime Minister’s call?
