Penang Umno to recommend stopping all state mega projects
GEORGE TOWN, Thurs: Penang Umno will recommend to the Federal Government to stop all proposed mega projects in the state, include those planned under the Northern Corridor Economic Region (NCER), the second Penang Bridge, the light monorail transit system, the Penang Outer Ring Road, the Penang Sentral and the RapidPenang bus service.
State Umno secretary Datuk Azhar Ibrahim said the previous Gerakan-led state government had worked together with the federal government to bring all sorts of development to Penang.
"Since the people have clearly rejected development and made their choice for a change, we will recommend to the federal government to cancel all such projects. Don’t blame us for this," he said after a state liaison committee meeting here today. In March 8 polls, Umno only won two parliamentary seats and 12 state seats.
The meeting was chaired by the deputy state Umno liaison committee chairman Datuk Seri Abdul Rashid Abdullah. Also present were Umno division chiefs from all 13 divisions.
Asked if this was Umno’s revenge, Azhar, who was appointed opposition chief, said: "This is not revenge…it is the new government's responsibility to bring development to the state. We have done so many things in the past but we were criticised…we were blamed for wasting this and wasting that.”
To another question if this would bring about any implications to the people, he said: "The people have chosen and they wanted a new leadership."
Ahh... So this is what it's all about...My personal comment - I hear a baby crying...and whinning... and just generally throwing tantrums. *teehee*
I guess sometimes, these ppl think they are so great they fail to reflect on themselves. I guess it sure is difficult trying to put yourself in others shoes FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE just to understand how this other person is viewing that same situation from a different perspective.
*sigh*...IF ONLY...Oh well...I guess another thing that they fail to realize is that...It's not the 60s anymore. It's the 21st century and ppl now are generally more educated and well-trained to be able to think for themselves, hence the result of the 2008 election. Making such strong statements won't do you any good Mr UMNO secretary man...Oh well...I guess that's your choice!

Damn lousy sore losers those UMNO and BN party members. BN has formed the Federal Goverment and Pak Lah has been "sworn" in as the PM for a second term. Therefore it must be their responsibility to develop each state equally. It is so clear that they are a selfish bunch of people who think for themselves and their party and not in the interest of the Nation and its people.
