Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 49402, member: 636"] Opposition politicians want to grill the government about a massive building project next month. Hamzah Zainudin leads the charge against the Kota Madani smart city plan. The politicians worry this expensive venture could hurt Malaysia for years to come. They plan to attack the project during Parliament sessions on July 21. Opposition members fear the government rushed into spending without thinking ahead. The smart city project costs a whopping 4 billion ringgit and sits right inside Putrajaya. Government officials launched this mega development last month with grand promises. The new city will pack 10,000 apartments onto just 41 hectares of land. More than 30,000 people could live there when construction finishes. Workers start building the first section this September. Hamzah slammed the timing of such expensive construction work. Malaysia already owes more than 1 trillion ringgit to creditors around the world. The opposition leader compared this project to past housing disasters that created massive debts. He warned that current politicians might stick future generations with unpayable bills. The government should focus on essential needs instead of flashy developments. Parliament members also plan to discuss problems with judge appointments during the same session. Hamzah demands complete transparency when selecting new court officials. He refuses to let anyone think the Prime Minister picks judges to help his political agenda. The opposition wants fair legal appointments that serve all Malaysians equally. Public criticism about recent court selections has grown stronger each week. [/QUOTE]
