Tanjong DAP elected representatives received poor marks from voters in their constituencies.Voters rated the assemblymen on various criteria such as problems solving ability, state assembly performance, people interaction, sensitivity towards problems, etc.
Komtar assemblyman and Political Secretary to the Chief Minister, YB Ng Wei Aik obtained 54.35%.
Pengkalan Kota assemblyman, YB Lau Keng Ee obtained 57.10%.
Padang Kota assemblyman, senior EXCO and also Tanjong member of parliament, YB Tuan Chow Kon Yeow obtained 64.73%. YB Tuan Chow is also Penang DAP chairman.
These low scores at the height of the current DAP popularity reflects the poor performance of nearly all Pakatan Rakyat YBs in Penang except a handful.
The 57.10% obtained by YB Lau is actually flattering. Tanjong Gerakan Youth received frequent complaints about his unavailability and unability to solve problems.
YB Ng Wei Aik score of 54.35% is not a surprise - from day 1 as a political secretary he had been stepping on a lot of toes.
YB Tuan Chow is a three terms parlimentarian (Tanjong is DAP stronghold) with an undistinguished performance in Parliment. This imported protege of Lim Kit Siang was given a senior executive councillor seat that probably gave him the additional 10 percentage points. It could also be because his poor performance is camouflaged by his nice personality.
P.S. It is an excellent idea of the 3 YBs to do their own job appraisals - they really need it!!!

Who conducted the evaluation? Is it an independent evaluation?
I think the more interesting question would be how they performed compared with previous state government.
Fishhook:
They conducted the appraisal themselves. The bulk of the appraisal forms were filled by DAP supporters or sympathisers.
This is a good step for DAP. It is also a rude awakening.
You should learn to be critical of your idol - LGE - when he is wrong - if you love him.
I've never seen you criticise AAB, Najib nor KTK. Does this mean they have never been wrong? This must mean you really hate them huh.
You have been sooo critical of LGE.. This must mean you really really really love him then.
Then like you say, it is a good step for DAP. It's the first time for all of them to be part of a state gov even for Chow. Lots of room for improvement but above 50% is not that bad for beginners. Hopefully they will do better in the coming years.
Could you explain and give me the template for conducting this 'scoring'?
How much weightage is given to each functionality?
How is citizen feedback taken and who, how and why are chosen for this feedback?
Kindy email me at: jnm.movement@gmail.com
