Samy: Don’t call my mobile phone anymore!
Thursday, February 16th, 2006 | 10:18 pm @ SK
[UPDATED VERSION] Last Sunday (Feb 12), public had complained to the station that there were problems with the Menora Tunnel in Jelapang.
Works Minister S. Samy Vellu was furious and was quoted as saying that he won’t answer any complaint that was made through television station and asked public to call his mobile phone instead, in which the number was shown on screen by Buletin Utama, TV3.
Yesterday, he said since his mobile phone number was made public, he had received about 2,600 SMS of which about 200 were about the cracks on the Middle Ring Road II (MRR2), about 1,000 were congratulatory messages and the remaining were normal complaints.
"I have trouble sleeping until 4am. This morning, I received 130 SMS."
So now, Samy Vellu has to swallow his own words and asked the public to lodge their complaints to a 24-hour public complaints bureau, instead of calling his super-memory phone which can receive up to 2,600 SMS.
His famous last words:
"The ministry does not want problems which arose in the implementation of the Eighth Malaysia Plan to recur."
Are we Malaysians a bunch of people with Permanent Head Damage (PHD) in the eyes of Works Minister?

Can’t imagine the number of prank calls, blackmails and death threats that he received 24-7 after he disclosed his number.
