When you have a new book
Give it a full good look
If it gets you completely off the hook
Then you must have been a pretty good cook

That Penang has been marginalised by the Federal Government for the past 20 years is really no secret – it’s there for all to see.

Even if the oil price were to hit USD200, Penangites still have little choice but to use their cars given the shambolic public transport system (it has improved recently with Rapid Penang).

Such is the legacy of the KTK administration of the past 18 years. A total flop.

As a voter in Tanjong Bungah, I do feel Chia Loong Thye’s candidacy smack of cronyism, and that he is given a safe (so they thought) state seat to contest because his brother was the MP there.

The brothers’ “combined” candidacies gave a negative impression. Correctly or not, they created a perception of self-importance, well-oiled advantages, aloofness, and a lack of concern for voters who are outside of Gerakan.

Many voters must have been turned off by their ill-considered placement of campaign banners that blocked traffic lights in at least three places (both directions) in Tanjong Tokong and Tg Bungah.

See my gut reaction to this book-blocking move and 4 photos of the campaign banners here

I hope Gerakan learns and improves. It still has a future.

Dear Mr Netto,

Hope you don’t mind, I made a mention of this posting in my blog.

By the way, it was nice meeting you in person so soon after discovering your blog.
