Silent on PORR???

Something is fishy! I notice that of all the mega transportation projects earmarked for Penang by the previous government, the present government led by CM Lim Guan Eng seems to be relatively silent on PORR until yesterday. He seems disinterested in PORR (read Star Online excerpt below).

Why????

When DAP was in the opposition in Penang, whatever they can oppose, they will oppose. DAP do not care for the rakyat, instead DAP supported the vocal "No To PORR" small group. It is now difficult for DAP to extradiate themselves for this commitment to this extremely small group but yet very vocal supporters. In fact, one of them is a Pakatan Rakyat YB now (do some research, to discover who is this YB).

While some of the issues raised by the " No to PORR" group are genuine, the issues had been considered by the previous government, hence realignments and other measures were take to mitigate them.

I hope that with this expose, CM Lim Guan Eng will find the political will to do what is Right For The Rakyat.

Say yes to Penang Outer Ring Road, go to this website (PORR) and put down your comment - "YES TO PORR" and sign it. You need an email account to do it.

Please email this posting to your friend and request them to signed the petition in SUPPORT of PORR.
I strongly believe most Penangites want PORR, they are the silent majority. Don't let the rakyat down.

CM Lim seeks clearer picture

PENANG: The Penang Government will seek clarification from the Federal Government on the status of the proposed Monorail and Penang Outer Ring Road projects.

Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said he would meet up with Second Finance Minister Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop to get a clearer picture on the status of the two projects.

Lim said the state would cooperate with the Federal Government especially on the Monorail and Second Bridge projects (what about PORR)........
