Faizal Abdullah: “With full repentance, I willingly relinquish my post as a Klang Municipal Councillor. My resignation letter will be sent to the Mentri Besar and the Council president by tomorrow (thursday) by 3pm,”

Faizal is married to the daughter of Umno permanent chairman Tan Sri Onn Ismail, who is also the Selangor State Assembly Speaker. Faizal said that his father-in-law, who owns the house, had entrusted him with rebuilding it.

He is in the same “ boat” as Datuk Zakaria and has no choice but to abandon boat that is “sinking”

UPDATE 3, Nov 02 06SHAH ALAM, Nov 2 (Bernama) -- Faizal Abdullah, who found himself in the centre of a storm for building a house of which the plan had not been approved by the Klang Municipal Council (MPK), has announced his resignation as MPK councillor for the 2006-2008 term. He said he volunteered to resign after being advised to do so by Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo in a meeting between them Wednesday. He accepted that he had made a mistake in the matter, which led to much controversy. "I am not disappointed. It's no use crying over spilt milk. I accept what I did was wrong," said the Kapar Umno Youth chief when met here Wednesday night. Faizal, 35, said he had informed of his intention to resign from the post to Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo, Kapar Umno chief Datuk Abdul Rahman Palil and his wife. Faizal is one of three MPK councillors who are alleged to have failed to submit building plans for their houses that are under construction to the council for approval. The others are Datuk Zakaria Md Deros and Mazlynoor Abdul Latif. He said he relinquished the post in the interests of the state and its leaders, adding that he abided by the advice of the Menteri Besar whom he respected. "If we don't obey the MB, who else do we listen to?," he said. Faizal said he viewed what happened logically and that it would reflect badly on him if he continued to remain as MPK councillor. He has come to regard his poor judgement as a valuable lesson. He said among the lessons he had learned were not to take things for granted and that building plans had to be submitted whenever a change was made to the original one. Faizal, who had served five years as MPK councillor, said he had changed the plan and design of the house he had built in Kampung Raja Uda six times during a span of eight to nine months. Asked whether Dr Mohamad Khir had rewarded him for stepping down as a councillor, he said the Menteri Besar consoled him by saying "you are still young, there may be an opportunity in future for you to be reappointed". Faizal said he would be submitting his resignation letter to the Menteri Besar and MPK president Thursday. "The matter has not been discussed with the State Exco yet. I don't think there is a need to wait for the Exco meeting," he said in explaining why he did not take long to decide on the resignation. Faizal added that his replacement would be nominated at the Kapar Umno division meeting on Friday.= = = = = =

Building plans yet to be submitted; By EDWARD RAJENDRA, STAR

KLANG: Where are the plans? It has been days since the scandal of Klang municipal councillors building palatial homes without submitting building plans to the council, yet until yesterday, none of the councillors or their architects had submitted plans. Klang Municipal Council (MPK) president Abdul Bakir Zin said that up to yesterday, none of the three councillors or their architects’ representatives had submitted their building plans. He said the stop-work orders for the three bungalows therefore remained in force. Abdul Bakir said councillors who blamed their architects for not getting approval for their building plans were setting an unhealthy precedent for members of the public to follow. “The onus is on the owner to make sure the building plans are submitted. If problems crop up, we go after the house owner, not the architect,” he said when contacted yesterday. “So take a keener interest in what your architect is doing.” Two of the councillors have put the blame for the non-submission of building plans squarely on their architects. Abdul Bakir also warned councillors who held land under Temporary Occupational Licence (TOL) not to misuse the land for purposes other than described in the approval of the council’s business licence. It was believed Abdul Bakir had voiced his concern because he discovered that some councillors who owned businesses had not complied with the business licences. “We are conducting a thorough check on various businesses operating on TOL land. Initial checks showed a few had not complied with conditions in the licences,” he said. “In some cases, the council had approved the land for car showrooms but now we see restaurants there.” Abdul Bakir said the council would issue notices to the “illegal”=
