First day in office, Penang CM Lim Guan Eng made 2 immediate announcements:
” All municipal summons dated before March 11 will be waived”
” The new Penang state government will not practice NEP policies”
The first announcement was pleasing to all, especially with the dam hard working MPPP guys on bike making their rounds.
These ppl is the most hardworking bunch in the civil staff, probably even more than those in the private sector.
They don’t accept duit kopi, they wont let any car off the hook if it’s in the wrong, they go through lorongs to give summons.
They even wait for the parking meter to turn 00:00 if there is only 1 minute left.
mai siao siao!
So definitely with these bunch of hardworking guys around, there are thousands and thousands of unpaid summons, and the people of Penang definitely welcome that announcement.
The 2nd announcement is the controversial one.
I personally think the CM used the wrong words to convey his intention.
His announcement definitely shock the bones of most malays. Even though they didn’t quite benefit from the NEP directly.
Many expressed their concerns about the announcement. Including those outside Penang.
Later on Lim Guan Eng went and clarify that he is just doing away with the system that breads corruption and cronyism. Then things started to calm down with PAS and PKR claiming that the malays wont be marginalize.
Even Jamaah Islah Malaysia (JIM) met up with Lim and was satisfied with the explanation given, even throwing their support for the open tender system.
Then the those in umno went and make a protest at komtar, i mean, few weeks back the last administration was saying that protesting and picketing is not the way of malaysian culture, and now the very head of penang umno is leading the demonstration.
WTF is this people thinking?
But the greatest thing that i couldn’t believe or even comprehend is that the umno Penang decided that they will persuade the federal gov to cancel all mega projects.
Quote from the star (March 14, 2008)
The state Umno will “persuade” the Federal Government to scrap all the mega projects in the state in view of the people’s clear rejection of Barisan Nasional.
Since Penangites do not want development, the Federal Government should not force it on them, said state Umno liaison committee secretary Datuk Azhar Ibrahim.
I tried to understand his statement, really. I couldn’t understand a bit of why tat azhar guy made such a statement.
I can’t even explain his stupidity.
It just shows that this group of people are just not mature or bright enough.
Honestly, i think thats the most stupid thing that a politician can say, and i sincerely believe there are much smarter and more caliber people in umno Penang that can do a better job than those jokers.
Plain stupid.

"They don’t accept duit kopi, they wont let any car off the hook if it’s in the wrong, they go through lorongs to give summons." - They do their job right (not accepting bribery, upholding the law) ... you complained. They don't do their job right (taking bribery, don't care about people parking their car where ever they please causing obstruction) ...you'll also complain the government is corrupted and such and such. Don't tell me you are frustrated because they don't let YOUR car off the hook even when YOU try to give them duit kopi.
"I can’t even explain his stupidity." - Let me explain it to you .. err .. wait ha..wait ha..hmm...so to put it in a plain simple way..just like you said, he is just plain stupid.
