On March 7 2009, during the 1st anniversary celebration of DAP government rule in Penang, Lim Guan Eng promise to provide special benefits to Penang Senior Citizens. The only details provided at that time were the conditions for application.
The initial conditions to apply for these benefit are:-
The initial conditions to apply for these benefit are:-
- Age 60 & above
- The senior citizens were born or residents of Penang
- A valid registered voter of Penang
LGE style is talk first, do homework later. He is now figuring what the Penang government want to give.
Condition (3) reflect the inner consciousness of the Penang DAP government especially its leader – Lim Guan Eng. Directly linking votes with welfare benefits???
Does it care about the people or is it just another attempt to “buy future votes” again?
P.S. On 15 March 2009, Penang DAP government briefed reporters that the tentative planned benefits are RM2500 monetary gift/award & RM1000 burial benefit.

i think this is quite std barisan practice.
vote buying has to be better defined 'cos many things can be interpreted as "vote buying".....
politics is about support? why is it wrong to use money? in the end the voter chooses freely...worse is if they are forced/intimidated/blackmailed to vote or they won't get development funds...
Yes, politics is about support.
But, linking voter registration status & welfare benefits are too much...
It should be lauded if Penang DAP govt can afford to provide special senior citizen benefits.
In fact, it provides Tanjong Gerakan an added opportunity to assist the senior citizens.
what the big deal of goving RM100 to senior citizen . it is better compare to gerakan who keep it all in their pocket ...
if you can list out what pakatan have done for the senior citizen it will be good . i will respect it or else dont just say shiok ...
Impressive web site, Distinguished feedback that I can tackle. I am moving forward and may apply to my current job as a pet sitter, which is very enjoyable, but I need to additional expand. Regards Senior Advantages
