I hear that Patrick has sold his state to MALTON Bhd, they r linked to Pavillion, the new shopping centre in KL. Well they may be more liquid then Equine boys, so beware Penang.

For the crony he just comes and sings his song
When the actualization is contracted
He is overnight sensation…………
Courtesy of the BN government

Pen is mightier than the sword
It is drumming to our heads decades ago
One doesn’t have to sweat it out
With a pen, draw a line and sign on it
There is the pot of shining gold
At the end of the rainbow

And the people waiting on the line
Under the hot sun sweating out
Trying hard to make end meets
While connected people sweep the awards

The investigations must be carried out
To stop the rot seeping into the country
Let the people know the truth
There is no place for corrupted officials
And leaders playing behind the scene roles

It happens all over the world. If a company is willing to develop a world class city centre, the least the government can do is to grant it some concession. There is nothing illegal about that. The purpose of government is raising of revenue but to facilitate development. There have been comments made that the conversion fee can be used to develop the state. isn't PGCC a development? People complain about everything that do not benefit them directly. That is just human nature. Some complain because others won the project instead of them. If we let people decide on the approval of every project, nothing will ever get done. Let's not even have a government. Farmers did protest and quite violently at the construction of Narita Airport but the Japanese government still went ahead. Today, the country probably could not do without it.
