Developers and buyers responsible too, says Shabery (F*#% You!)
KUALA LUMPUR: The Government should not be held solely responsible for the Bukit Antarabangsa landslide disaster on Saturday.

Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek said it was not fair to slam the Government for failing to act every time a disaster happens.

“It is unfair to say the Government did not act. We cannot put the blame on just one authority. (Why the F*@% not?) two to tango, but this time there are three – the Government, developers and buyers,” he said yesterday.

Ahmad Shabery was commenting on the current blame game among the authorities, developers and the public after the devastating landslide at the up-market residential area which claimed four lives and destroyed 14 bungalows. (well looks like you are great at coming up with stupid lame excuses and finding scapegoats!)

Victims of the landslide have said they would sue the relevant government authorities for compensation. Ahmad Shabery, who is also the deputy chairman of the National Disaster and Relief Management Committee, said house buyers also needed to be critical, especially on safety aspects, when buying property on hillslopes.

He said prospective buyers should exercise their right to demand from developers that the properties be safe to live in and would be insured for natural disasters. (Here i THought the gvernment issues the CF (certificate of Fitness) After they have verified that the houses are fit to be occupied?!)

“Safety should override status and beauty. Buyers should make that clear to developers,” he said, adding that enforcement at local authority levels should be strengthened to prevent such disasters from recurring. (Isn't it the Government who approves land projects to be developed before the Developers are allowed to start any developement or am i wrong?!)

Its president Datuk N. Marimuthu said that this was because too many incompetent people were given “blank cheques” to wreak havoc on the environment, causing landslides and other natural disasters. — Bernama
