BN rep enraged over survey results

Mat Nadzari says he is not bothered by ‘questionable’ survey.
facebook-twitter-mobile-usersPETALING JAYA: Batang Kali BN state assemblyman Mat Nadzari Ahmad Dahlan — one of the 22 state representatives who ‘failed’ a survey conducted by NGO Kuasa, has stated his indignation over the results.
Questioning the credibility of the NGO, and the validity of the survey that gauged the responsiveness of elected reps to their constituents, Mat Nadzari said to FMT, “They can’t do this.”
He also repeatedly asked, “Do they have the authority to do this?”
Remaining defensive throughout the phone interview, he warned, “Don’t simply test us,” while adding that no NGO or organisation had the right to carry out tests without informing the participants first.
Defending his poor responsiveness to messages left, he said, “How would we know who is messaging, could be some perverts online for all I know.”
He also maintained that there was always a way to reach him without “hiding behind Facebook where fake profiles are a dime a dozen and tough to tell apart from the real ones”.
Mat Nadzari added that his Batang Kali constituents knew there were “proper, more effective channels” of reaching him, after “properly identifying themselves.”
He also stated that there was no need for such surveys and that he was not in the least bit bothered as he knew what he was doing for the community.
“I have facts and figures in black and white showing just how much I do for my people so it doesn’t really matter what is said in this questionable survey circulating online.”
On a much brighter note, an elected representative who came out tops for responding to his constituents said today he was only doing his job.
Humbly declining congratulatory wishes, Pasir Pinji DAP assemblyman Howard Lee said, “They elected me to be their representative and one of the fundamental responsibilities that comes with the position is to hear the voice of the people.”
Lee also said that he was grateful to his constituents for his position.
Asked how he managed to respond to problems raised by troubled constituents efficiently over e-mail, Facebook (FB) and Twitter, Lee replied, “with great difficulty”.
Saying however that he did have a system in place, Lee explained, “I have three full time staff and 10 volunteers who have access to my official email and FB account and they help me manage the constant stream of messages and calls I receive every day.”
He said having a team that was loyal to the cause of helping people made a big difference as his people went above and beyond the call of duty.
“I am very hands-on as well and usually take charge when urgent requests concerning the livelihood of my constituents are threatened,” Lee said.
However he was at a loss for words when asked to express his thoughts on the 22 state assemblypersons who were identified in the survey as unresponsive to all three modes of online communication.
“I can’t comprehend it myself,” he said, adding that the 22 state reps should immediately take steps to rectify the situation.
He did however admit that the high volume of online messages and calls could be overwhelming if it was not monitored well. Even so, he did stress that answering all messages was not an impossible task.
“Sometimes I do miss calls and am delayed in responding to online messages. However I always make an effort to get back to them especially the urgent ones.”
Lee was among nine others who “performed admirably” and earned “super performer” status according to Kuasa’s chief executive Praba Ganesan.
The Kuasa survey involved 115 Perak and Selangor state assemblymen and was conducted over 10 days.
