And so the Anwar trial continues – while over in Penang, demonstrators protest at what they perceive to be selective enforcement action against illegal Malay hawkers and food-stall operators, an allegation the local government denies.

Protest in Penang? Why? These few frustrated people are a nuisance to our society. Sorry, Penangites are not foolish to listen to their stories. Lim Guan Eng is doing a fantastic job in Penang. He may be a Chinese by origin, but who helmed Penang before Lim? A Chinese or a non-Chinese? How about before that? Let’s not talk about race and religion without much thought given to it. Let’s support those who can deliver honestly. The “cari makan” type of supporters and politicians have no place in Penang. Sorry for these opportunists. WE SHALL SUPPORT PAKATAN AND WE SHOULD SUPPORT A GOOD LEADER LIKE LIM GUAN ENG. The country needs more leaders like Lim Guan Eng to bring progress to the people.

O.
It really does not matter to me whether he is black, brown or yellow so long as he/she is capable, fair-minded and can deliver.
Nizar proves to be one.
You know at that time my friends some of them were not happy because a PAS candidate was picked to be the Perak MB but i said, never mind, so long as he has the quality, and indeed Nizar had proven himself to be one. And, today, he is especially well loved by the Chinese community.
I am sure DAP will not mind to have people like Nizar and Khalid Samad… Indeed what is the point to have your own colour like Yit Foong…? Even that Lee Lam Thye he abandoned DAP last minute in the early 1990s general election… I never read his articles from then on. He has since then redeeming himself from doing charity works, i think.
Ya,O, sometimes it can be v frustrated to have the bad apples… I got angry too.
Sometimes, i really pity Lim Kit Siang and Karpal Singh… They are the real fighters.
I dont expect Nizar to “fight” back also when BN robbed Perak… he, too, has proven himself to be a fighter and Nizar really earns my respect.
So, really, white cat, black cat, it does not matter at all, what we want is a kuching that can tangkap tikus, ya.
If Anwar is put behnd bars (God forbids) , we still have Zaid Ibrahim… Zaid is a real gem… he gives up his ministerial post … not like our own colour, Ong Tee Keat,cakap tak serupa bikin…
….to give up that golden rice bowl, indeed how many people can do that?
Let’s make sure DAP/PR will retain Penang for the next GE!!!
Cheers !!!

Kee,
Thank you for your reply.
It takes a fellow reader and his comment that so and so is associated with what to wake me up. Such wolves in sheeps clothings are more dangerous than the real enemy. Musuh dalam selimut! Perlu berjaga
jaga.
Well, really, for us in PAS, we trust the DAP more than MCA, MIC, Gerakan, Hindraf or whatever. The DAP had over the years provened that they can be relied upon and are not trouble makers, more team players. Our views cannot be echoed more by MB Nizar, just listen to what comes out from the horse’s mouth than relying on spins! What MB Nizar echoed is exactly what we in PAS feels about DAP’s sincerity in forging unity among Pakatan. We really hope five years from now, when PAS is open to all, the DAP and PAS can forge a closer relationship and partnership to take on the UMNO led BN. We can be a force to be reckoned with together with PKR. But, we need to be careful with people in BN claiming to be from PKR and taking the opportunity to exploit the current tiff in PKR! Thank you for waking me up! I am very much awake now, and this kind of character is much more vicious than our Gerakan K. Gerakan K, sometimes comment for the fun of it or he really feels what commented, without, vicious and malicious spins, whereas someone here that had been championing PKR and saying is absolutely dangerous! No one in PR would want the current “storm in the teacup” in PR to continue, but, someone here is more interested to continue the tiff and further worsen the tiff between PKR and DAP! I think majority of us will agree that PAS, PKR and DAP can work together without arguing in public blogs and spinning about the actual situation!
Thank you for the LH Tan guy for waking me up! We should avoid further debate with that guy as it will only serve his purpose to crack PR. No more publicity with that person as it will only further his evil intention! Thank you folks. Should reach KL on Saturday morning at around 7.30 am. Till then see you and enjoy commenting in Anil’s blog but perlu berjaga jagalah!

Brova Karma, i agree with you absolutely…
But do you know there are still a lot of blind Penangnites crying for Gerakan/BN to come back to ruin them…
Some people are just born bodoh what to do?
By the way, L H Tan, let me tell you, i think we must not expect Lim Guan Eng to reply us personally. He is a v v busy person la.
I did write to DAP about how dirty Pulau Tikus was and i did see improvement when i went back to Penang after that.
So, please dont be so ego that Lim Guan Eng has to reply you to show sincerity.
Some politicians are good at public relation but cannot deliver, or their purpose is to “korek” so what is the point?

Surprise surprise surprise! What kind of fairy tales you have told us. There was improvement after being told to do so? We don’t need such stump/”kayu” government. Anyway I don’t buy your story.

Dear Kee
I can live with that (LGE busy – but my assemblyman is busy too) let’s wait till I back from overseas as my parent told me never seen them for a long long time (2008 GE)
Come on Gerakan K, you cannot give better views or feedback to fine tune the state government rather than always only provide utter rubbish from your mouth. Are u a Penangtie? One of Anil guideline in the blog is to provide alternative or positive view on negative reaction.

As an ordinqary I wished the peaceful and friendly intellectual malaysian to ponder a while why is that we Malaysian like too much of Politicking rather than developing this beautiful country.Forget about the roots whether you are black,orange yellow or white,
Other country are progressing and we are retarding till investor runaway.
lET GET THINGS DONE mere talk would not likely to hold you any longer.
If LGE does not perform,very simple topple him and get another clown to run this country.
