Lim Guan Eng P.43 Bagan
I first attended DAP ceramah when he was charged for printing false news and later incarcerated because of championing the cause of a Malay girl.

Penang vs Singapore
It would be nice to see how Penang could have been developed without interference from the Federal Government.
It is virtually impossible for that to happen as Terengganu had experienced, having been cut off from their oil royalty because of opposition control, ridiculed for lack of development and fell back into BN hands. Kelantan was in the same boat and just managed to remain in opposition control. For this election, BN seems bent on winning back Kelantan as evidenced from the unprecedented gathering of Kelantanese in KL to listen to Pak Lah’s glib talk.
For whatever reasons, Hong Kong and Taiwan excelled in terms of economic growth, mainly because of autonomy in the economic and industrial planning and control, based largely on the principle of laissez-faire, which most people believe is the more, if not, most efficient use of limited resources.
The opposition candidates in Penang comprise some highly respected professionals like Prof. P. Ramasamy, Jeff Ooi (who managed to collect a sizeable amount using the internet networking and IT prowess), and Liew Chin Tong, to name just a few from the publicity; seasoned politicians like Lim Guan Eng (aided by special economic adviser, Tony Pua) and iconic and charismatic Anwar Ibrahim (later).
Just imagine if the above team were to be given a free hand to manage the state of Penang! Koh Tsu Koon was given 10 years to prove that Penang can challenge Singapore but failed, most probably because he was not given a free hand.
If only our government is less jealous of the opposition and more magnanimous and pragmatic.
No harm in dreaming on, is there?
This is my first time visiting this blog and I'm impress by the writing style.

A thumb up encouragement to you guys from a Singaporean
Thanks for your compliments daniel.
ReplyDeleteTotally unexpected, especially from someone in Singapore - power of the internet.
As an amateur, I cannot help thinking of William Hung's 'I don't have professional training'! I really wish I am IT savvy to be able to do more. On the other hand, it is also nice to keep it simple... like a glorified written dairy, which is basically what it is.
Blogging has given many people a chance to pretend to be reporters, columnists and editors, rolled in one. It is definitely good training
for those doing courses in multi-media or journalism. It is definitely good for retirees to prevent alzheimer disease.
