Ong ‘ashamed’ of selfish developers
The Star 21/7/ 2004

KOTA TINGGI: MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting is unhappy that some successful developers are reluctant to contribute to school-building funds. 

Untung pun mereka kata rugi (They say they make losses even when they make profit),” he said.  

MODEL DEVELOPER: Ong and Glomac Berhad Group chairman Datuk F.D. Mansor (left) looking at a model of the school building project in Johor Baru yesterday.  

 

“They only think about themselves, their bank accounts and how to make more money,” he said at the groundbreaking of SJK (C) Yu Hwa in Taman Sri Saujana here yesterday. 

Ong, who is also Housing and Local Government Minister, said some of the selfish developers would give all sort of excuses and were not ashamed to tell those raising funds that they did not have the money. 

“This is not a good example and I hope those who have not been caring especially towards education projects will change their attitude,” he said. 

Ong said it was difficult for him to understand why some developers were reluctant to donate to a project which would benefit the people such as building a school. 

“I am quite ashamed to know that there are some who even said their business was not making money when they are actually making a lot of money,” he added. 

Ong commended thedeveloper of Taman Sri Saujana, Glomac Bhd, for donating a 2ha plot of land worth about RM5mil for the project. 

“I hope there will be many more caring company like this,” he said.
