It appears that not many realize the implications of the loss of such a space where the People have had their say and would continue to have their say if not for the kind of action the Penang State government has taken. It really doesn't matter whether it is BN or PR in government, the government of the day must be held responsible for what it does and everyone has a right to voice their opinion as well as to disagree with others. This is what good governance, transparency and accountability are about. By the way, what happened to CAT? Environmental awareness also seems low, in that taking trees away increases global warming ( so don't complain about the heat if you don't even care about preserving the trees, grassy spaces and other plants) and increases pollution from vehicular and other fumes that we are breathing in now and will continue breathing till we die of some pollution illness like cancer. Moreover, if we do not monitor what the government is doing and make it public, why did most people in Penang get rid of the BN (Gerakan) State government? We should have allowed them to carry on their corrupt practices and continue destroying Penang further. People said they wanted change and now they are back-tracking. What kind of change did we want? Did we want change for the worse instead of the better? Is the PR gov. in Penang very different from the previous BN administration? Please tell me what the difference is if anyone can as I have not seen any difference so far. As for Selangor, the PR state gov. can be seen to sincerely try to change things for the better, the PR gov. there is NOT the SAME as the one in Penang. In fact, the PR gov. in Penang should 'learn' something from the PR gov. in Selangor instead of 'learning' BN governing methods. Penang PR has 'bungled' in many aspects, slow to learn to pull themselves together and stop squabbling. They better get their act together or lose what they gained in the March 2008 tsunami. Some people seem to like being monitored by 'BIG BROTHER' authorities like the government, I guess privacy has lost its value. The person who suggested this blog should be monitored by the State authorities, should think about having his/her phone tapped and CCTV install in his/her home where the Government can monitor what they do on a daily basis. May be you will feel very safe then. Others would prefer to exercise their right of privacy and freedom of expression, THAT would make us feel safer. The question here is: HOW POLITICALLY MATURE ARE YOU? Having looked at the replies, you get Anil.

Remind me of Don Quixote. Watching Communist inspired movies over & over again (no choice being in China for some time), Anil reminds me of the fading functionaries within Kuomintang failed to stem wave after wave the onslaught on KMT..... Of course, it's aplicable to Pakatan. It can be applicable to Anil. Anil got ulterior motives. Not monetary, power or position. Anil is a naturalist, anarchist & idealist.

But however judging from what Anil is writing in his blogs, it seems he doesn't know what matters to the nation. Or he only bothers what he thinks best......Kinda bourgeois, don't your think Ilham,

If not don't understand you as the public space is still there unlike Gerakan K/UMNO want to take off the Chinese School in Damansara.Since you said about space, maybe the authority follow your suggestion - chopdown trees to create more space - to allow more demostration and more people.

Is that what you teach the new aspiring CJs or is causing issues your intention? What are the tenets of journalism?

Anyway, those are palm trees just decorative unlike the hundred years raintree. Like a husband supposed to be head of the house, you must know what your wife is cooking and also be transparent over minor matters. If the Malaysian parliament botak all the trees who cares if Gerakan/UMNO do not want us to go there. Anil,

In any developed country, the local community will fight tooth and nail to protect their public spaces. There is a dire need to raise public awareness of the importance of public spaces in Malaysia. We have hardly any public spaces left and we are ill afford to lost any more of them. Malaysians generally do not comprehend the importance of public spaces.
