The Sacrificial Lamb - Danny Law

After the King of Tennis debacle, Danny Law Heng Kiang, the Exco in-charge of Tourism is like a person afflicted with the leprosy disease. Lim Guan Eng, ever the populist, cleverly distanced himself from Danny Law.

If a popularity rating is conducted on all the Pakatan Rakyat YBs, Danny would received the worst rating. He was made the scapegoat for the King of Tennis debacle by his own leaders.

Lim Guan Eng, do not practise collective leadership & responsibilities - credit is his, failure are yours.

Now, Danny Law Heng Kiang is the sacrificial lamb. He was assigned to handle the potentially explosive local issue on the demolition of business premises in Batu Feringghi.

The state government is adamant(as at posting time) to demolish the business premises. Read about this DEMOLITION issue here.

The right person to handle this issue should be Chow Kon Yeow, which is in-charge of of local government. The local DAP assemblyman, Teh Yee Cheu is nowhere to be seen on this issue.

Penang Third Deputy Chief Minister

Currently, Penang have two Deputy Chief Ministers, one Malay and one Indian. I am not surprise about the preliminary discussion on the possible appointment of a Chinese Deputy Chief Minister(DCM) for Penang. There are a few reasons for this:-

• As a government that use populist strategies and tactics, by appointing a Chinese Deputy CM, DAP hopes that this move will be popular with the Chinese electorates. DAP knows how to play the racial card – one Indian DCM, one Malay DCM and one Chinese DCM.


• Lim Guan Eng is not a Penangites, appointing a local DAP YB as the Deputy CM will cover his weakness – he is out of touch with local issues and conditions. His strength is on national issues.


• Having a Chinese Deputy CM that he can trust, will also enable him to focus more on the overall development of DAP nationwide. Have Chinese DCM can travel.


• Lim Guan Eng thru his various actions, had unintentionally marginalized many of his DAP leaders – none are able to be outstanding except YB Phee Boon Poh (in charge of welfare). The appointment of a DAP DCM will minimize this situation.


• DAP Penang have nearly no capable local leaders with the potential to be a Chief Minister. Many leaders are imported. A local protege to the chief ministership have to be prepared for their long term survival as a government.
• Furthermore, the existing two Deputy Chief Ministers are under performing.

Whether, the third DCM position will materialize depend on DAP ability to convince its partners - KeADILan and PAS. I doubt they will agreed to this additional post.

P.S: There is also an Underground Deputy Chief Minister that handled the "underground" affairs. Chinese Penangites that are familiar with local politics understanding the power wield by him.

DAP Government: Reduce Jobs in Penang

Instead of creating more jobs in Penang. The Penang DAP government is doing the reverse - REDUCE JOBS.

Recently, the Chief Minister office(based on Sinar Harian report dated 24 Feb 2009) directed about 80 entrepreneurs to vacate their business premises within 4 days.

These businesses are the lifeline of the tourism industry in Batu Feringghi.

The premises affected were from Rasa Sayang Resort to Bayview Beach Resort Hotel, about 5 kms. Most of these businesses had been in operation for more than 20 years.

The locals of Batu Feringghi livelihood depend on tourism, most locals work in the resorts or at these various tourism related businesses.

At least 500 locals will lose their jobs or "periuk nasi (rice bowl)".

Remember victimization of non-Pakatan Rakyat supporters are priority NO. 1 for the DAP government!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S.: The "tidak apa' attitude of Lim Guan Eng towards jobs creation & unemployment crisis in Penang is sinful. For example, many Intel workers expect LGE to discuss their predicaments and future with the senior execs of Intel US - it had yet to be done. Is it because DAP had trapped themselves with their 308 campaign of "Exchange Rice With Tapioca"?

Khalid, passing the buck again

The Sultan of Selangor wisely declined to offer any guidance or advice for the spineless Menteri Besar of Selangor, Khalid Ibrahim on the position of Bukit Lanjan assemblyman Elizabeth Wong whose nude photographs were circulated recently. The Sultan stance is that he is above partisan politics.

Elizabeth Wong, 37, had offered to resign on Feb 17,2009 because of the pictures.

Khalid Ibrahim extended her leave and said that he will wait for the police to complete their investigation before deciding on her position. This type of spineless leadership on decision-making is expected. Will the buck stops here???

Read also my post on Khalid, another spineless leader.

P.S. The Sultan of Selangor wisely understand what had happened to the Sultan of Perak. When Pakatan Rakyat seek guidance and advice, the guidance and advice must be favourable to them. If not, even the Sultan will be drag into Pakatan Rakyat dirty politics.

Utusan Malaysia: DAP insult Islam (DAP hina Islam)?

Utusan Malaysia headline on 24 February 2009 was “DAP hina Islam(DAP insult Islam)?”, this was based on the comment by the President of The Penang Islamic Council(MAIPP), Shabudin Yahaya.

Shabudin Yahya got his fact wrong when he thought Lim Guan Eng had formed Penang Inter-Religious Consultative Council, what was actually formed was a Penang Goodwill Religious Council.

Yet, it is not surprising that Shabudin got his fact wrong, the Penang government had intentionally bypassed him when forming the Goodwill Religious Council even though he is the President of the influential MAIPP.

Shabudin is coincidently also the BN YB for Permatang Berangan. Hah,hah, hah ...... Therefore, it was natural for the Penang Government that practise partisan politic in religion to conveniently overlook MAIPP.

After his comment on the DAP, probably Shahbudin should be looking over his shoulder more often. For the past six months, PAS in Penang especially PAS Tanjong Youth had consistently brought “longkang and parit plus sampah' issues in Wakaf areas to discredit him. Now, the DAP will also be out to get him.

P.S: Since 308, both KeADILan and PAS want to take control of The Penang Islamic Council (MAIPP) as its vast resources made MAIPP a very powerful and influential organization among the Muslims in Penang.

Raja V Sivakumar - Total immunity

DAP leader Nga Kor Ming in a press statement said the Perak Speaker, V Sivakumar has absolute and total immunity from any civil or criminal action(Malaysiakini report, 22 Feb 2009).

The 9 rulers of our country and their family members do not have absolute and total immunity from all civil or criminal action since 1993.

Perak Speaker, V Sivakumar status based on the Pakatan Rakyat interpretation is higher that the Kings.

Nizar went against the Sultan of Perak, he confirmed that he had "MOHON DERHAKA(seek to betray)" during his audience with the Sultan.

It seem that for many Orang Besar Pakatan Rakyat Perak, they follow Raja V Sivakumar I from the Mahajahat Dynasty.

This is KETUANAN PAKATAN JAHAT.

The real murder threat (not fabricated)

Photo from Kwong Wah Yit Poh

Karpal Singh received a real threatening letter enclosed with 2 live bullets at his home in Penang this morning.

It is not a surprise after his recent comments on the appointment of the Perak MB. He is a straight-talker, straight like a ruler, unlike a comrade of his which is crooked as a snake.

Recently, Pemuda Gerakan Tanjong asked the police to provide extra protection to LGE - it was a waste of time and effort (read post on Fabricating Tales).

Karpal Singh and all his family members need all the extra protection they can get from the police.

The threat message:
Cilaka, babi, anjing.
Jgn main2 dgn raja melayu.
Kalu tak syg anak bini jgn cr. pasal.
nanti lu satu Family gua bakar!!!
lu punya rumah semua gua tau!!
lu cabar Melayu mati lu satu family!

I do not agreed with Karpal Singh comments and his legal challenges on the Perak issue.

But, threat such as this is totally abhorrence. The police must use all resources to bring the criminal to justice - an example must be set.

Karpal gets two live bullets, death threat in mail

GEORGE TOWN: An envelope containing two live bullets and a death threat had been mailed to DAP chairman Karpal Singh’s home in Jalan Utama.

In his police report lodged at the Penang police headquarters this afternoon, Karpal Singh, a lawyer, said his clerk Ahad Hassan found the envelope sent from Perak in his postbox at his home about 8.15am on Thursday.

“I was in Kuala Lumpur yesterday when my clerk Puan Nazimah informed me on the phone about the envelope which was handed to her at about 9.45am at my legal firm in Green Hall here,” Karpal Singh told waiting pressmen at the police headquarters at 12.20pm.

“When opened, Nazimah found the envelope contained two live bullets and a hand-written letter.

I told her to keep the envelope and its contents in my office safe until I came to Penang Friday to lodge a police report for the police to launch a thorough investigation.”

The writer threatened that Karpal Singh and his family would be harmed for showing disrespect to the Malay Rulers.

Karpal Singh said this was not the first time he had received such a threat, adding that the police had done nothing after he lodged a police report in Kuala Lumpur last May upon receiving a live bullet with a letter outside his office in Jalan Pudu Lama.

Fabricating tales

Recently, the Tanjong Gerakan youth lodged a police report on the assassination threat on Lim Guan Eng based on what he himself told the Chinese presses.

After the police report that we had made, and realizing that the police had taken a serious attention to this report and will ask him for statements, Lim Guan Eng is singing a different tune.

Instead, Lim Guan Eng accuse Gerakan Youth for seeking cheap publicity, and said that it was mere rumours.

We checked with the reporters that were with him when he stated that there will be attempt to assassinate him, they confirmed he said that.

Luckily for him, those reporters did not switched on any audio recorder. It will be expose if they had done so.

Now, who is fabricating tales – all those reporters or Lim Guan Eng?

From Putih Hitam Kelabu

The answer should be extremely clear!!!

Take Credit & Push Blame

From Putih Hitam Kelabu

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.

Naib Presiden Gerakan Letak Jawatan Jika BN Terlibat

From Putih Hitam Kelabu

KUALA LUMPUR, 19 Feb (Bernama) -- Naib Presiden Gerakan Huan Cheng Guan sedia meletak jawatan jika pembangkang dapat membuktikan bahawa kepimpinan Barisan Nasional (BN) berada di belakang penyebaran gambar bogel anggota exco Selangor, Elizabeth Wong.

"Jika mereka (pembangkang) tidak dapat berbuat demikian, mereka kena meminta maaf kepada BN dan Malaysia kerana membuat dakwaan yang melucukan," katanya dalam satu kenyataan di bangunan Parlimen di sini hari ini.

Huan turut melahirkan simpatinya terhadap Elizabeth berhubung penyebaran gambar-gambar dirinya yang diambil tanpa persetujuannya dan berpendapat setiap orang termasuk ahli politik mempunyai hak privasi dan ini mesti dihormati sepanjang masa.

"Saya yakin BN tidak akan turun begitu rendah melibatkan diri dalam percubaan seperti itu untuk memusnahkan kehidupan umum dan peribadi seseorang individu." Adalah tidak adil bagi PR (Pakatan Rakyat) terus menyalahkan BN bila isu yang menjejas mereka timbul.

"Berasaskan laporan media baru-baru ini, polis sedang menyiasat bekas teman lelaki Elizabeth yang juga pegawai Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR)."

Saya cadangkan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (penasihat PKR) memperkemas partinya bagi menghapuskan pengkhianat parti terlebih dulu sebelum memutuskan untuk menyalahkan BN," katanya.

Sementara itu, Elizabeth dalam satu kenyataan hari ini meminta media agar "tidak mengganggu keluarga, rakan dan dirinya."

Tolong jangan terus memalukan keluarga dan diri saya, supaya kami dapat menjalani hidup normal seperti rakyat biasa," kata beliau.

Komentar: Adakah Anwar Ibrahim atau si mulut celupar Teresa Kok berani menawarkan diri untuk letak sebarang jawatan mereka jika didapati tuduhan komplot BN tidak berasas.

Five Branches of Power

From Putih Hitam Kelabu

Malaysia must now be the most democratic country in the world!!! (or the politically craziest)

In term of separation of power, we are aware of the Legislature(mades Law), the Executive(initiates and adminsters Law) and the Judiciary(applies Law).

Lately, two new or rising branches of power had emerged in our country.

These are the Monarchic power(The Law) and the Autocratic Speaker power(concoct Law).

Now, altogether we have a total of five branches, India & US are way off.

Hah, hah,hah........................................................................

P.S: Maybe in the future, our King will have to exercise his discretion in choosing a Prime Minister if no party/coalition have a majority.

Now, where's Hilmi?

From H'ng Photo Collection

From H'ng Photo Collection

See above photo, among Hilmi facebook friends are Anwar Ibrahim and Tian Chua. Until January, Hilmi Malek was the special assistant of PKR parlimentarian for Petaling Jaya Selatan, YB Hee Loy Sian. Hilmi Malek is a PKR member.

PKR need to do a complete clean up instead of accusing its opponents.

Khalid, another spineless leader

From Putih Hitam Kelabu

The offer to resign by Elizabeth Wong as a state assembywoman and an executive councillor had created a problem for the Menteri Besar of Selangor, Khalid Ibrahim. If she had resigned, Khalid Ibrahim would be relieved. Her offer to resign forced the Menteri Besar to deal with it.

Malaysiakini reported that the Selangor government will seek the views of state ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah on how it should deal with the controversy surrounding executive councillor Elizabeth Wong.

Having not gut, the Menteri Besar of Selangor Khalid Ibrahim had seek an audience to brief and to ask for “royal guidance” from the Sultan of Selangor on the Elizabeth Wong nude photo issue.
The Elizabeth Wong nude photo issue is not a constitutional matter or crisis. There is no necessities to seek guidance from the Sultan.

He is taking the easy way out - passing the buck to the Sultan.

Khalid dare not made the decision whether to retain Elizabeth or not, either way he will be criticized.

If he accept her resignation, women leaders and NGOs, etc will criticize him. If he do not accept, the holy men(?) of PAS & UMNO will criticize him.

Khalid had picked up the spineless skill of his supreme leader.

P.S. If someone managed to secretly take photos of Khalid Ibrahim or Khir Toyo nude in their bedrooms, does it mean that they also have to resign?

Elizabeth Wong is the victim!!!

Khir Toyo should get a brain scan or see a psychologist for urging the immediate resignation of Elizabeth Wong after her nude photos were circulated – SHE IS THE VICTIM!!!

I wondered whether it is mere coincidence that constituencies with the word “Bukit” is jinxed – Bukit Gantang in Perak (MP die of heart attack), Bukit Selambau in Kedah(Adun resigned due to marital scandal) and now Bukit Lanjan in Selangor, the state seat of Elizabeth Wong.

In Penang, we have Bukit Glugor (MP is Karpal Singh), Bukit Bendera, Bukit Mertajam, Bukit Tengah and Bukit Tambun seats.....

Lim Guan Eng: Rancangan membunuhnya?

Menurut laporan Harian Guang Ming, Kwong Wah Yit Poh, China Press & Harian Oriental bertarikh 16 Februari 2009, Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang, Tuan Lim Guan Eng telah dilaporkan membuat kenyataan bahawa terdapat rancangan untuk membunuhnya dengan matlamat untuk merampas tampuk pemerintahan kerajaan negeri. Tuan Lim Guan Eng telah dilaporkan berkata demikian selepas upacara agama Buddha di Kuil Kek Lok Si.

Sama ada kenyataan di atas benar atau tidak, kenyataan Ketua Menteri Tuan Lim Guan Eng ini amatlah serious. Ia boleh menimbul keresahan rakyat dan merosakkan keyakinan pelabur-pelabur. Ia juga boleh menjejaskan kestabilan politik, sosial dan ekonomi Pulau Pinang.

Laporan polis ini mengambil pendirian yang neutral. Tetapi, yang menghairankan, jika terdapat ancaman kepada nyawa Ketua Menteri Tuan Lim Guan Eng, mengapa beliau sendiri tidak membuat laporan polis. Sebaliknya, beliau membuat pengumuman melalui suratkhabar-suratkhabar. Adakah ini sekadar gimik politik?

Maklumat yang terkandung dalam laporan polis tersebut adalah seperti berikut:-

Pihak Pemuda Gerakan Parti Pulau Pinang, Bahagian Tanjong amat khuatir tentang komen pembunuhan yang diberi oleh Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng baru-baru ini, dan memutus untuk membuat laporan polis supaya polis dapat menjalankan satu siasatan lengkap kepada komen tersebut dan memastikan keselamatan Ketua menteri sendiri dan mengekalkan keamanan di Pulau Pinang.

Jika pihak polis tidak menyiasat komen Ketua Menteri Lim Guan Eng dengan teliti, maka akan mengakibatkan keliruan dan ketakutan antara rakyat Pulau Pinang:

1.. Pihak polis adalah diminta supaya menambah lebih ramai kakitangan untuk melindungi keselamatan Ketua Menteri bagi memastikan bahawa keadaan di Pulau Pinang tidak terjejas.


2.. Pihak polis perlu menyiasat realiti bagi kejadian tersebut, untuk memastikan keselamatan negeri ini. Jikalau Lim Guan Eng sebagai pemimpin negeri yang berada dalam bahaya, orang awam akan lagi berasa bimbang dan panik.

3.. Ketua Menteri dan pihak polis perlu menjelaskan bahawa kenyataan tersebut adalah benar ataupun salah, supaya tidak menjadi rintangan kepada pelaburan asing di negeri ini dan memberi kesan buruk kepada sektor perindustrian dan perdagangan di Pulau Pinang terutama pelaburan asing dan pelancong antarabangsa yang akan datang.

4.. Ketua Menteri perlu berhati-hati dalam ucapan beliau dan tidak memberi sebarang kenyataan yang boleh merosakkan dan memburukkan kehidupan rakyat Pulau Pinang.

Laporan ini dikeluarkan oleh Pihak Pemuda Gerakan Parti Pulau Pinang, Bahagian Tanjong.
