DAP parliamentarian Ngeh Koo Ham has submitted a motion to slash RM10 from Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Muhyiddin Yassin's pay cheque.

The Beruas MP made the submission to the speaker today saying Muhyiddin had failed to address the Kuala Dipang, Kampar suspension bridge tragedy seriously.

"The motion shows displeasure against the minister for failing to take the incident seriously when he indicated the '1Malaysia' camp will continue," said Ngeh.

NONE According to Ngeh ( right) , the motion which was filed under Section 66(9) of the Standing Order will be debated when the Education Ministry takes its stand during the winding up at the committee stage debate on the 2010 Supply Bill.

"The report by (V) Sivakumar (ousted Perak state assembly speaker) showed that many of the camps had issues of concern which needed to be addressed," said Ngeh.

"Muhyiddin took it lightly... the camp also has security (issues) that needed attention. We view this a less than appropriate concern shown by the minister," said Ngeh.

Ngeh said he expects the motion to be mentioned either tomorrow or next week.

Report on bridge collapse submitted to MPs

The Pakatan Rakyat ad-hoc committee today submitted its findings on the collapse of the Kuala Dipang suspension bridge in Kampar where three young girls drowned.

Sivakumar and several Perak state assembly representatives handed over the report to Ipoh Timur parliamentarian Lim Kit Siang who pledged to bring up the matter once more for debate in the House.

According to Sivakumar there were three factors as to why the bridge had collapsed on Oct 26 resulting in the deaths of the three children.

NONE He said that the poor construction of the bridge, procedural negligence and lack of safety measures were the core reasons which resulted in the bridge to collapse.

Sivakumar ( left ) also said the counterweight of the bridge was constructed in such a manner that it could only support one tonne or the total weight of 20 children at any one time.

He said this was not in accordance with the standard guidelines, as usually such bridges should be able to support least 10 tonnes more.

"There was also no adult supervision at the time the incident occurred," said Sivakumar in the report.
