Most people are disgusted with individuals who always claim credit for successes and push blame to others when there are failures.
Yet, the DAP leadership riding on their current popularity seem able to get away with it.
Today, a 30-tonne hydraulic crane toppled at Km3.3 of the Penang Bridge. It took about eight hours to clear and caused one of the worst traffic snarls on Penang island and mainland, many reported late for work, can not go to work or missed their flights.
State Public Works, Utilities and Transportation Committee chairman Lim Hock Seng said the state government was ‘utterly disappointed and angry’ at UEM, the Malaysian Highway Authority (MHA) and Penang Bridge Sdn Bhd (PBSB) for failing to clear the toppled crane in the shortest time possible.
“We hold UEM and the federal agencies responsible for causing hundreds of businessmen, factory employees and flight passengers to be late and to miss their flights.
“If there is some action we can take against them, we would but there is nothing we can do,” he told a press conference at Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng’s office in Komtar on Thursday.
When asked if the state had any back-up plan or traffic dispersal measures at hand in the event of future recurrence, Lim shook his head and said, “No”.
The DAP state government fail to realize that it have to share the blame, it must work together with the other parties involved in the widening of the Penang Bridge. Pushing the blame to others is not the solution.
If Lim Hock Seng is working in a American multinational, he would most probably be sacked. If he works in a Japanese multinational, he would be in "cold storage". Luckily, he is in the CAT government.
P.S: The Penang Bridge cameras that can be viewed thru the internet failed intermittently at the crucial time. SMS service for the Penang Bridge provide wrong information, for example stating that the bridge is jam when it was actually closed at certain hours yesterday. Lim Hock Seng should do his job instead pushing the blame.

You mean to say long jams on Penang bridge has never happened during Gerakan's rule?
Seriously what do you think Lim Hock Seng could have done to prevent this? It's an accident for crying out loud and it's the failure of the owner of the crane who lacked safety precautions. It's not like similar cases has not happened before. So many accidents have also happened along the North-South highway that have caused super long traffic jams. Did you blame the transport minister then?
Unless we start making amphibian cars to cross the sea as a backup plan, what alternatives can you think of other than the ferry? The DAP gov has been pushing for the second bridge but the BN fed gov is delaying it out of spite. So go do something other than complain and go bug your BN brethren to quickly release the money.
Hooking the wrong pointlah, a school boy can reply to reporters saying that he will come up will new plan. Hock Seng just shake his head and said NO. Eat free lunch.
