What is interesting is this — In Selangor, PR’s government runs better than the previous one. But in Penang, PR’s government isn’t better than the previous one.
I guess PR has chosen the right guy to lead the Selangor government but the wrong person to lead the Penang government.

The best Chief Minister among the 13 state is Penang LGE. Brother you wrong.

1. LGE is not Penang.
2. LGE is a lousy CM. As lousy as Koh Tsu Koon.
3. The MB of Selangor is much much better than LGE.
4. We had an excellent CM in Penang and his name is Lim Chong Eu.
5. Too bad you don’t know what “good” is, since all you’ve experienced in your life is “bad, worse and worst”.

you are the shallow brain here wandererAUS! abetterpenang has the god given right to express his/her opinion.i thought we voted for real democracy at last election. the way things are going ,i see nothing has change much in the mindset of malaysians.the “them and us” still rules both sides .
something is not right ,when you can’t say or write anything towards the penang government ,even if they are from the pakatan rakyat supporters .

Just too bad, really.
LGE is as bad as Koh Tsu Koon and the way you react to what I wrote is as bad as the UMNO goons and Perkasa goons react to the so-called “Pendatangs”.

abetterpenang, can you back up your statement about Penang with facts? The Auditor-General gave a good report about Penang state government so where did they go wrong?

You want facts?
Fine.
1. LGE is all mouth and no brain.
He talked and talked and talked, and after that, talked again. All without using his brain.
2. LGE is as bad as Koh Tsu Koon.
The way he handled the Kampung Buah Pala issue, haha, do I need to add more?
3. LGE has shamed all Penangites time and time again with his mindless babbling and brainless stunts.
Like the so many episodes of verbal sparring between LGE and the BN goons.
We Penangites do not vote to get a CM who does nothing but keep trading verbal insults with people from the previous administration.
We Penangites vote for a CM who will work for us.
So far, CM LGE has done NOTHING, except for a lot of hot air.
And oh, that CAT thingy?
Why don’t you ask LGE about how “transparent” and how “accountability” in his dealing with the proposed PICC ( ask LGE about that too!! ) building which will cost the Penangites RM 50 Million !

Spot on!
Yes, we must be alert, very alert what Perkasa is all about. It’s another desperate UMNO-backed venomous project no difference from the burning of churches, destroying of mosques and temples and cowhead, pighead mischief all out to create hatred, ill-will and animosity.
Yesterday in Parliament, the Yang d–Pertuan Agong spoke about the ‘lies and distortion in the new-media’ and while I understand his speech was prepared by Najib’s government, I hope His Majesty is also aware that Perkasa Bullfrog had proudly spewed racist filths in public unafraid. OK, I suppose the Agong meant the Bullfrog!
The Home-Minister/Police has been dragging their feet, practising the double-standards whilst citizen’s peaceful candlelight vigils and celebration-do in open fields were arrested for “disturbing the peace”(!!) and whose peace? ..UMNO’s peace? Was it any worse than Perkasa’s poisoning the minds of ordinary Malaysians to divide and rule, not a threat to national security of the Nation?

Nope. am impressed with both Penang and Selangor.

Put it this way, it has been a difficult 2 year uphill task for Penang and Selangor State Government that were invested with PKR termites dropped from UMNO garbage truck.
We gave UMNO/BN 53 long years and this is as far as we get, so why are we so impatient with Pakatan Rakyat?
abetterpenang

Nobody is saying that it is a smooth sailing.
But in the case of Selangor, Khalid Ibrahim pick up the garbage and start working towards a better Selangor.
In the case of Penang, LGE has yet to stop BLAMING the previous administration for all the garbages they left behind and LGE did nothing to clear up those garbages.

Wah!!The crazy schemers from BN are visiting Haris’s blog and very active also. Badge of Honor man because they are very worried about you SABM folks. I hope they are not Perkasa people – we want those people to keep believing they are ‘big swinging dicks’ until SABM show they are just ‘teeny weenies’. If they get worried too fast, then harder, not that they can stop SABM..
Karma man – all those cromy easy money now must pay with nightmare of losing everything and going to jail. Karma man..

Haris,
There has been too much Rhetorics but NATO….
So I would like say Syabas to you on the initiation and formation of SABM.
SABM together with your team of dedicated citizens have been Positive, Pragmatic & Successful with your SABM Roadshows resulting in many followings, Groups, Projects, etc.
Our Rezki/Blessings comes from God Almighty & not from any one else….
As long as we are sincere, honest & truthful to ourselves, our faith, our family, our friends, soceity & God Almighty….
There is nothing to fear from Man except God Almighty.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Our Nation’s & Citizen’s 1st struggle for Independence in 1957 was against the British Colonial Rule…
This is our Nation’s & SABM’s struggle for our 2nd Independence from the Ketuanan UMNOputra Rule…
I would also like to share this with you some of the Documented reports from Singapore & the Australian version to have a balanced picture of Pre Merdeka years…maybe to add to your SABM collection of documents.

Good, clear and lucid presentation of just the facts, and nothing but the facts!
It never ceases to encourage me to see the quiet voice of Reason rising above the cacophonic depravity of madness that has been imposed in a vice-like grip upon the great potential of a democratic Malaysia through the misguided and deliberate actions of a wayward Executive and a sadly, politically ignorant, careless or reckless Rakyat.
So fight tooth and nail now with Reason to manifest truly that democratic potential of integrity that has been so maligned and savaged and decimated over the past forty-odd years by the combined brute and malevolent force of a mad bunch of illiterates who were given dangerous power to rule and suppress and oppress in Malaysia.
That small but vitally important SABM sampan carries the hopes of the ABM Rakyat for that criminally wasted and for so long lost and denied true Malaysian potential.
So for whatever it is worth….thank you ABM Haris Ibrahim and thank you ABM Kee Thuan Chye for your sterling efforts for that great cause and that little sampan.

WE HAVE CHANGED!!….what a day to remember the 17th of March 2010…the indomitable courage of the Organg Asli marching in full strength and identity, as the first indigenous peoples of Malaysia, right into Putra Jaya.
To demand their rights, first and foremost to their ancestral lands, which are in the process of being eroded further and which denied rights had made these first rightful inhabitants of our land…a forgotten third rated community.A community looked down upon, derided and neglected to the extent that they had become cowed and afraid.
And literally, non-existent amongst us…a community of quiet and simple people,pushed away and allowed to carelessly on their own, who were never expected to become brave….all of a sudden, they did the unthinkable, they became brave. Thanks to the bold angel that spread the word about this group of Malaysians.
Now their time has arrived to shed this image and climb the ladder of success like everyone of us, Pendatangs.
Isn’t it time, the Orang Asli, called us Pendatangs for a change!
And yesterday historically, what was amazing to realize was that they demanded change out of their own strength and will.
We Malaysians, all, have to learn a lesson to come to the realization that after more than 52 years of carrying ill-gotten baggage on their backs, the BN government does not to change.
We the people of Malaysia should help them come out of their rut and force the change…to be ready with all our credentials, for GE13.
That means be ready willing and able to vote, at GE13 for a Government of clean, caring and honest leaders.
Haris and Thuan Chye and all well meaning civil society persons, keep reminding us to bring in the change out of our own free collective will…the will belonging to the people, of the people and by the people.
With such a will, we SHALL overcome.
