We have that PESTA Pulau Pinang site at Sg Nibong but i think its a rather outdated, fix that first and we'll start talking bout a PICC then... if we cant even handle to properly manage such small scale exposition site, don't start on a big one... learn by crawling, not jumping, we're not kangaroos... :P i agrees that Penang is in need of a proper convention centre but i don’t believe this is the one Penang needed right now… We have that PESTA Pulau Pinang site at Sg Nibong but i think its a rather outdated, fix that first and we’ll start talking bout a PICC then… if we cant even handle to properly manage such small scale exposition site, don’t start on a big one… learn by crawling, not jumping, we’re not kangaroos… :P

Mungkin ada yang berfikiran agar kami semua beri peluang kepada LGE untuk membuktikan yang beliau memang ada rancangan besar untuk PP ataupun beliau memang berkaliber untuk menjayakan PP he arah tahap baru dan lebih maju dari dulu. Tapi, pada pendapat saya PICC adalah satu projek yanag sememangnya TIDAK BOLEH dijadikan prioriti kerana alasan ia akan menarik pelabur dan pelawat ke PP adalah satu alasan yang tidak kuat sangat. Untuk menarik perhatian pelabur atau pelawat, apa yang dikehendaki adalah sebuah negeri yang stabil dari segi politik dan juga dari segi pembangunan. Membina sebuah bangunan tidak bererti kami memang ada pembangunan. Pembangunan melibatkan banyak aspek seperti, kebersihan, kemudahan sistem transpot yang sesuai, ekonomi negeri semakin meningkat, keharmonian di kalangan rakyat, infrastruktur yang digunakan dengan sepenuh penuhnya dan juga struktur komunikasi yang lancar...bukannya dengan membina sebuah bangunan yang tidak terjamin ia akan berjaya atau tidak.

Unlike Khalid Ibrahim, Lim Guan Eng doesn't have any managerial experience. Selangor prospers under Khalid Ibrahim while Penang turns from bad to worse. Selangor is a big state. Penang is much smaller than Selangor. Comparatively Penang is much easier to manage than Selangor but please tell me, what has Lim Guan Eng done for Penang, so far? We kicked out Koh Tsu Koon because we are tired of his uselessness and the (BN) corruption. ...but this PICC, especially the way Lim Guan Eng fast-track the whole thing, it does give strong impressions of something very fishy... Prove to us that you are not just another Koh Tsu Koon, Lim Guan Eng. Please prove to us that you are different, Lim Guan Eng. Unlike Khalid Ibrahim, Lim Guan Eng has never thought of how he should serve the people.

DAP used to be the party for the man-in-the-street with no taste for grandiosity or mega projects. Their opposition to mega projects such as PORR, PGCC and many others are the testament for their principled stance rooted on social democracy. However, putting them on power has unleashed their inner demons and turned them into a third-rate and low cost version of the tyrannical and paternistic PAP. LGE himself has been the grand Transformer himself, from the defender of the weak and margainalised to the dictatorial and power-crazed Cheap Minister. As many have pointed out the whole PICC project reeks of poor planning and smells of (alleged) cronyism. I wonder how a government that can't even keep its celebrated beaches clean can develop and execute a strategic plan to be a key MICE hub ahead of other locations with much more to offer in terms of infrastructure, attractions, marketing power, connectivity, branding,human resources,etc. I strongly propose LGE focus his attending on the dirty beaches, improving MPPP/MPSP efficiency, local government elections, heritage protection, FDI,etc. Many Penangites are getting more and more concerned with the sad decline of Penang under the Cheap Minister and his equally pathetic and clueless exco.

So keep living in your dreamworld where your leaders can do no wrong and see no need to justify their actions or be accountable to the rakyat. It is scary that DAP supporters and leaders behave in such dictatorial manner after barely in power for less than 2 years. It is not me but the Cheap Minister who has to convince the people on the feasibility since he's the bloke who wants to splash Rm50M on a new convention center. In case you are unfamiliar, this is what is called as accountabality and transparency in governance. I am shocked that DAP is so intolerant to even mild criticisms and so arrogant in power. These criticisms are mild compared to the kind of vicious attacks and mindless rantings that LKS and LGE churns out by bucketful on daily basic toward their political opponents. I wouldn't be surprised that if DAP takes over the power at Federal level, we critics must be arrested and locked up in labour camps. Remember, people are watching your and your LGE's every move and they will speak loud and clear when the time comes. O
