It's the PKR dilemma. Can't form the federal goverment without turncoats, but with them in the picture, your integrity becomes questionable. It's probably why they're putting off the declaration of assets: some might have more to declare than others. Quite right, ckchew. It’s the PKR dilemma.

It is imperative that PR should proceed with the Declaration of Assets of ALL their assemblymen as well as newly appointed personnel in Key Positions in the State as soon as possible. Why should PR and CM LGE have to waith for the BN government move on Declaration of Assets. LGE MUST realise that he is the leader of the PR and does not need to answer to BN and their (people). Show the BN that PR can and are able to do the right thing even before the BN can. By the way, Mr. Chief Minister, have you looked at the possibility that the BN's supposed request to you to wait for their "Declaration of Asset Forms or Program can be a ploy for them to come out later (after you have sat back waiting for some time) with a statment that your guys were just as dirty as BN and that the PR had no intention to declare assets. As an advert said, "Just Do It!" Get your PR partners to declare their assets now and be damned with the BN 'type' of Declaration. As one of the others who have commented pointed out, there is no need for any fancy declaration. Just a standard form which states the names of PR Assemblymen and Officials, their wives, children and extended family and their current financial standing and assets. Any lawyer member of the PR can, I am sure advise on the minimum legal stuff required to maje these Declarations acce[table. Just Do It, Don't Procrastinate.

And if they cannot do it (yet, whatever) then a good reason must be given. The one given in this instance is just unacceptable. After all, Mr Lim wasn't subtle in pointing out the "Federal Government’s failure to deliver compensation" in the Kedah logging issue, and in many other instances as well. So to cite maintaining good relations with the Federal Government is really like citing the scripture by the devil - for its own purpose whenever it's deemed fit. it is not about being an infant, I think that distracts us from the point being made here which I agree, it’s about fulfilling a promise they made which the Penang people bought.

Let the transparency game begins It isn’t hard to design List the assets and locations Owned by who linked to whom Let it float in the web world Every year refresh the assets list Let the people you mean what you say Don’t give silly excuses Marking time to hide assets away? Accountability Let it be frank On managing the state Don’t just pull wool over peoples’ eyes You won’t last the next round Go get it done Within the next 100 days Don’t give excuses It smells of playing hide and seek Assets declaration
A long time coming
Waiting for uniform forms
Go give those calls

Set a time frame
Otherwise design your own
Why wait for it?
Let the transparency game begins

It isn’t hard to design
List the assets and locations
Owned by who linked to whom
Let it float in the web world

Every year refresh the assets list
Let the people you mean what you say
Don’t give silly excuses
Marking time to hide assets away?

Accountability
Let it be frank
On managing the state
Don’t just pull wool over peoples’ eyes
You won’t last the next round

Go get it done
Within the next 100 days
Don’t give excuses
It smells of playing hide and seek

PR unexpectedly form the government and now have dug into a long roadmap. Imagine, suddendly your boss (rakyat)demand you to go to go to Afghanistan or Egypt for more than 1 year within 3 days? You have to assess the situation - you have to look into the map - financial, social and cultural situation and settle your own personal matters. Looking into the map and understanding without someone or non expert in these countries to explain takes 3 days!

This proves a point that it is easy (talk is cheap) to be in the opposition than to be in the government. Common sense dictates that the federal givernment will do whatever it takes to derail or delay whatever good intentions that PR states have in the pretext of uniformity, etc. Maybe all PR and BN politicians should wear the same uniform when in office. Then everything would make sense. Everyone agrees that it’s just a lame excuse.

The PR team not only manages Penang but also four other states. There must be uniformity in declaration of their assets. All assets of directly related individuals of office bearers must be declared. This way there is clear transparency. Do this and we the rakyat should be able to see the sincerity that the PR team has for the well being of the rakyat of NEW MALAYSIA for ALL MALAYSIANS irrespectively of race or religion.
