Comments on: Excessive federal powers alarm NGOs http://anilnetto.com/democracy/excessive-federal-powers-alarm-ngos/ Let justice flow like a mighty river Sat, 19 May 2012 10:36:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: K http://anilnetto.com/democracy/excessive-federal-powers-alarm-ngos/comment-page-1/#comment-40804 K Thu, 11 Mar 2010 05:40:44 +0000 http://anilnetto.com/?p=19455#comment-40804 Kittykat46...aiyoh...pls lah do some investigation before you post lah. You confuse the wang ehsan mechanism with JPP lah. This mechanism was created to ensure the funds are distributed quickly and the projects are executed quickly. This was one of Badawi's better ideas. And based on my experience this enabled govt projects to be implemented much more smoothly than being hindered by those infamous Napoleans. I know LGE would bitch about it but then all CMs/MBs face the same problem. So just get on with it lah. LGE is just hoping to get his grubby / greedy hands on the Federal funds (probably) so it can be (used for) the Concretization of Penang. Kittykat46…aiyoh…pls lah do some investigation before you post lah.

Only non-BN run states have development funds channeled through Jabatan Pembangunan Persekutuan, essentially locking out the State government from key development decisions. BN run states have the funds channeled either through State governments or in conjuction with State governments. The Federal government has been doing this to Kelantan for ages....but doing this to Selangor and Penang..two large contributors to Malaysia's GDP is the height of stupidity. BN's attempt to cold-fridge the PR governments in Selangor and Penang end up hurting Malaysia's economy as a whole. “All state govts face the same problem”

"We hope the next time (Pakatan) cybertroopers have guts to use their real name instead of resorting to such cowardly tactics". You should practice what you preached, don't hide behind ... "K". SHOW YOURSELF! K,

Even if we got a monkey on the seat of the CM-ship, given unlimited amount of resources, even that damn monkey can be a wonderful CM. What Lim Chong Eu did (and I been through the period) was just that, he did a superbly wonderful job with <b>EXTREME CONSTRAINS</b>. Did Tun Lim cry father cry mother about having not enough money? Did Tun Lim lament this lament that about the sky-rocketing unemployment that hit Penang back in the '60s? No ! Lim Chong Eu and his people just hunker down and <b>WORK HARD</b>, finding ways to tackle each and every problem that they have, and they even tackle <b>FUTURE PROBLEMS</b> that had yet to crop up ! It was Lim Chong Eu (with his men) that come up with the KOMTAR program. It was Lim Chong Eu (with his men) that started the FTZ idea. It was Lim Chong Eu (with his men) that enable the development of both the Bayan Lepas and Prai industrial area. And they did that with <b>EXTREMELY SEVERE ECONOMIC CONDITION</b>. Further more, Lim Chong Eu isn't an economist. He ain't an accountant either. Tun Lim is a medical doctor. If a <b>Medical Doctor</b> can tackle the myriad of socio-economic problems of Penang back then, why then the current <b>ACCOUNTANT</b> CM can't? What is wrong with Lim Guan Eng? Why all the time LGE cry father and cry mother? IF we want a CM that cry father and cry mother all the time, we would have elected a monkey instead. I do not usually agree with K but this one I have to concur.

No !

Further more, Lim Chong Eu isn’t an economist. He ain’t an accountant either.

Tun Lim is a medical doctor.

If a Medical Doctor can tackle the myriad of socio-economic problems of Penang back then, why then the current ACCOUNTANT CM can’t?

What is wrong with Lim Guan Eng?

Why all the time LGE cry father and cry mother?

Just this morning me and my friends has a big laugh over this pathetic letter. I think it is your buddy "Rajan" (or was it you) who is misguided. There is no such person as Rajan Rajasamy. It is not even a real Indian name as every Indian knows. It is obviously (a Pakatan) non-Indian cybergoon masquarading as Indian. ... Before the name used was Rajan Rajeswary.... We hope the next time (Pakatan) cybertroopers have guts to use their real name instead of resorting to such cowardly tactics. And I love to see LGE responding to the original letter instead of (Pakatan supporters doing) the hatchet job. But he won't. The reason is simple. The Cheap Minister cannot reply officially as facts are as clear as day and there is no way he can refute the accusations. He can only do that it via such anon letters as all kinds of lies and inaccurate accusations can be made anonymously without any proof but if he does that officially he will look like a fool which he is.

It is the NGOs been sleeping on the jobs as this has been going on for years. Chairman Lim and the his proxies in NGOs should stop crying and get to work. All state govts face the same problem and not just Penang. KTK also faced the same issue but he didn't run to his mama and cry and threw a tantrum. Wake up lah, get on with the job. If you have unlimited funds to develop the state, then any moron can be successful. The secret of a great leadership is achieving success with limited resources. Tun Lim is considered a legand not because he had billions to develop Penang but succeeded with meager resources. He had no unlimited financial resources but brain power and a relentless passion and drive. Anil, I am curious too on your comments as to limitation due to civil services in Penang and Putrajaya for my earlier question. This is not a constraint due to civil service but the Federal laws. In any case, I don't think having PPC and transport under the Feds is bad or unusual. If this works even in advanced countries why do LGE has a problem ? I see absolutely no value Chairman Lim can add since he can't even govern with his limited scope. Iron’s right.
