He pointed out that the Auditor-General’s Report had stated that the state government had failed to build a single unit of low-cost housing since 2008.
As a result, Mohan said, the lower-income Penangites were facing acute shortage of affordable houses.
He said housing projects carried out in Penang for the past four years were only posh houses for the rich.
He said the state government had lacked commitment to resolve Indian housing issues in Mak Mandin, Batu Kawan and Bagan Dalam’s Hujung Batu.
He also said the Lim administration had yet to allot land on its own for Tamil schools, except transferring land titles for plots already alienated by the previous Barisan Nasional state government.
Even for Hindu temples, he said, the state government had given land mainly for temples managed by cronies of a certain politician.
The annual RM1.75 million state funds allocated for Tamil schools, he said, was too little compared with over RM40 million given to Malay schools and nearly RM30 million for Chinese schools.
Divided by 28 schools in Penang, he said each school got only RM62,500.
If based on the estimated 150,000 Indians living in Penang, he said each Indian was allotted nearly RM12 each.
“Lim’s policies have been pro-developer and populist schemes to fish votes. His policies have not been people-orientated and good governance. Indians rightly feel betrayed by the state government,”
