In fact he's miles ahead of the bumbling clown of a CM we have in Penang. However, I think almost all your points are wrong. 1. Corruption has gotten worse 2. Water rebate is nothing to be happy about when considered the billions that Selangor will spend to buy the water assets. 3. This is no different in other states 4. This is in practice in other states too and in Selangor was implemented before PR 5.This is not a new idea. However the entire process has been heavily policiticised according to my relatives in Selangor. daniel

I think you are missing the point...I am not pro-BN just that I want Pakatan to deliver their electoral promises. The reason why I voted for Pakatan in GE is to make sea changes in policies and governance and not to make the situation worse. If Pakatan is only going to be Old BN then there is no point for me to vote for them again. I see that BN at least has started to reform under Najib (though they have a long way), but Pakatan has been resting on their laurels contending to please the Big Business and jockeying for power and money than serving the rakyat. I don't know whom I will vote for in GE13 but at this rate it won't be PR. And as I had observed, the DAP cybertroopers mindless attack on politically nuetrals like me will have a negative repercussion for sure. DAP which stood for democracy now does not brook even the slightest dissent, as evident from their cybertroopers misbehaviour and the leaders' (like LGE) intolerance. Yang…

No chance of corruption in Selangor for lobbying projects. 2. Water bill rebates of RM11 or so. 3. People can challenge the State Government openly and publicly. 4. University fresh student get RM1000 or so 5. The State Government has started collecting the data for senior citizen for allowance at the later stage. Overall, generally people are much happier with the little helps. Vast different in Selangor.

(in the USA) "Can the Labour Party make a difference?" (in the UK) "Can the Australian Labour Party make a difference?" Looking at recent history - of the lesser evil against the greater evil - I think the answer is an unequivocal "Yes"! (Obama versus George W. Bush, Tony Blair versus Margaret Thatcher, Kevin Rudd versus John Howard). We just need to elect the lesser evil into political office and then maintain pressure on them to stay the progressive course. Dear Anil

Your question is like the following:

“Can the Democrats make a difference?” (in the USA)

“Can the Labour Party make a difference?” (in the UK)

“Can the Australian Labour Party make a difference?”

Looking at recent history – of the lesser evil against the greater evil – I think the answer is an unequivocal “Yes”! (Obama versus George W. Bush, Tony Blair versus Margaret Thatcher, Kevin Rudd versus John Howard). We just need to elect the lesser evil into political office and then maintain pressure on them to stay the progressive course.

When the first bridge was built, short sighted critics were everywhere. Even Samy Vellu thought that he was being short changed by the people of Penang when the bridge carried very little traffic initially. Every Penangite knows that without the bridge Tun Lim initiated, the development of Penang would have dropped more than a few notches. Batu Kawan and its vicinity is to be the new industrial base of Penang. Even the new state stadium was built there. The new bridge will serve the state the next 20 years, just as the first bridge had served us well the past 20 years and will still be serving us.
