Penang locals continue to feel neglected by DAP government

It is time for the Penang state government to end being implacable to the Penang people whose concerns about hillside development have been dismissed. The Penang people have been protesting in frustration against the planning and approval process of the projects because it is caters to developers only and fails to incorporate feedback from locals.
The DAP-led state administration should not be making decisions without consulting those affected by the decisions first. As Penang Island Municipal Councillor Dr. Lim Mah Hui suggested in his speech last Monday as reported in New Straits Times (26 June 2012), the council needs to hold consultative meetings with the public to explain the impact of its proposed projects and to get the locals’ input and approval before making a final decision.
Frustration will continue to brew until there are serious steps taken to ensure the local council and the people are given the chance to be involved in making decisions that affects their lives. Once again, I urge DAP Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng to listen to the concerns of ordinary citizens and residents and take serious action to ensure that their interests are truly being represented.
DAP not serious enough about championing democracy
It is clear that DAP is not serious about democracy. Although it claims to be the champion of democratic ideals, DAP has neglected a key responsibility of the government: representing the people. The Penang people’s largest complaint is in the process of implementing projects, which has favoured developers at the expense of the people. For example, a 30-storey apartment was approved in a low-rise residential area where individual homeowners have been trying to get permission to build three storey-houses. These kinds of incidents have been occurring more frequently, which has understandably incited anger from Penang citizens and residents.
DAP has failed to demonstrate its claims as the champion of democratic ideals. How long will the DAP continue to rule Penang without the consent of the Penang people?

MPPP gag order – DAP’s practice of subduing disagreement now taken up by MPPP, proving speech freedom non-existent in Penang

It is disheartening to note that the DAP Penang state government’s actions in curbing freedom of speech has rubbed off on the Penang Municipal Council (MPPP) as can be seen in their decision to issue a gag order on councilor Dr Lim Mah Hui over his outspokenness in slamming the state government for influencing the approval of a hillslope development project in Sungai Ara.




Thus, this brings no meaning to DAP’s claim of freedom of speech, and reveals their hypocritical nature. When Lim Guan Eng, the Penang Chief Minister, had claimed “a victory for press freedom” when the High Court struck out a defamation suit filed by Penang Umno Liaison Committee against him, the public now know that his statements bears no meaning due to the MPPP gag order.



Not only has Guan Eng influenced the state government to boycott mainstream media news agencies like Utusan Malaysia and New Straits Times from covering state events, it seems that his arrogance has influenced MPPP as well. In DAP, gag orders are the norm used for quelling dissidence, the most recent being the gag order imposed on former party Vice-Chairman Tunku Abdul Aziz, and now Dr Lim Mah Hui appears to be another victim of DAP’s arrogance.



No more check and balance



Now with his gagging, the council’s system of check and balance has been shattered, as Dr Lim Mah Hui was appointed a councilor under the NGO quota. His outspokenness has allowed the public to know the real truth of what is going on in the state government administration as he is liable to no one. The gag order imposed on him defeats the purpose of having him as a councillor at all as what is the point of having a councillor who is not afraid to speak out on behalf of the people?



DAP should learn to take responsibility



Instead of shutting up Dr Lim Mah Hui through the MPPP gag order, or by shifting the blame to the previous BN state government, Guan Eng should instead take responsibility for his actions and admit that the hillslope development project in Sungai Ara was indeed approved by his state government. Thus, the public should be aware that DAP is not as perfect as they claim to be, and that they are politicizing everything only so that they can take over Putrajaya and that their involvement in many other scandals, such as the sPICE project and the Bayan Mutiara land sale, are proof that DAP is unfit to govern.

甫当槟国阵宣传局主任大发威 陈清凉:矢揭火箭真面目

  • 严汶隆(左起)、陈协成、陈清凉、哈山林及克里斯南出示,过去十天行动党扭曲事实的新闻。

(槟城12日讯)新官上任三把火,刚上任为国阵槟州宣传局主任的陈清凉大发威,狠批槟州行动党领袖,扬言要逐步撕开他们的真面目!

行动党其实怕邓章耀

她以本身获得国阵主席邓章耀受委为宣传局主任为由,反驳行动党领袖标签她、丁福南及希尔米为国阵B队的言论,并且也揶揄槟州行动党领袖在过去十天连续不断的群攻邓章耀的做法,是怕了邓章耀。

“行动党领袖包括了林冠英、曹观友、黄伟益、黄汉伟、章瑛、刘镇东及再里尔,7人不断的攻击没有官职也不是人民代议士的国阵主席邓章耀,这说明了他们现在很担忧而且也很畏惧邓章耀。”

火箭存在反对党心态

她今日连同槟国阵宣传部研究员严汶隆、亚逸布爹区国阵协调员陈协成、国阵宣传局秘书哈山宁及国大党署理主席克里斯南,在记者会上,开足火力的炮轰行动党。

她对于行动党已经执政了4年,但是依然还存有反对党心态和思维感到震惊,行动党至今所使用的字眼和游戏还是反映了他们反对党的思维。

“我现在被委任为宣传局主任,我将会逐步的撕开他们披着羊皮的狼的真面目,揭穿说谎、抹黑、扭曲事实的猫。”

“火箭扭曲事实煽动人民”

她指出,行动党一直以扭曲事实的方式来保温人民憎恨国阵的情绪,包括诬赖中央政府要惩罚槟城人的说法。

“中央政府何时要惩罚槟城人?当我在两年前担任槟州港务局主席时,我把丽星邮轮带进来瑞典咸码头当做他们的母港,这一来为槟州的旅游业、饮食业和酒店业至少也2000万令吉的收入,所以即使国阵失去了槟州政权,但是我们还是继续的照顾槟州。”

她劝告首长林冠英今日的身份已经今非昔比,他的每句话都是非常分量,不该胡乱说话。

促行动党履行代议士责任 国会质问公共-私人合伙单位

槟州港口有无私营化?陈清凉要行动党国会议员履行人民代议士责任,在国会上质问首相署公共-私人合伙单位(Unit Kerjasama Awam-Swasta, UKAS)。

陈清凉指出,槟州行动党国会议员包括了曹观友、章瑛、刘镇东,要非国会议员的邓章耀及槟州国阵回答港口私营化的问题。

没质问矛头指2人

“他们身为国会议员,领取纳税人的钱,但是却是这样的表现?甚至连槟州港务局和槟州港口有限公司的差别,港口私营化与自由港的分别也不会。”

她解释,槟州港务局是隶属交通部,而槟州港口有限公司则隶属财政部,而港口私营化是行政的事项,他们应该问负责这事情的公共-私人合伙单位,但是行动党却针对这事情指责邓章耀和首相,显然政治化了这项课题。

她讽刺行动党领袖换了位置换了脑袋,在上届大选时要人民否决国阵的2/3议席,但是现在却呼吁人民让民政党和马华吃零蛋,这是行动党所谓的两线制以及林冠英自己说的绝对的权力绝对的腐败?

她也指出,国阵已经针对港口私营化和自由港的事情做出解释,但是行动党却不认错,因此她劝谕行动党不要再自爆其丑。

“国阵贯彻言论自由,不会如民联政府讲一套做一套,一边说新闻自由,但是另一边却禁足媒体及记者采访,甚至也不和记者握手,一点也尊敬媒体。”

陈宝诗国阵暴力论乃无中生有 企图掩饰民联是暴力政治始祖


(吉隆坡5日讯)马华槟州妇女组秘书赵梨璇揶揄槟州民主行动党丹绒区妇女组副主席陈宝诗的国阵暴力论只不过是她企图要掩饰民联执政下,暴力示威频传,粗口文化生活化的一个低俗政治伎俩。

他指出,308民联执政槟州以来,当初为了捞取选票而许下的重重承诺,在4年后的今天还是没有实现,州政府以“施舍”般的态度给予槟州人民小恩小惠,企图以小博大的政治伎俩来诱骗槟州人民继续支持州政府。

“就有如陈宝诗提出州政府的各种福利,包括乐龄人士可获得回馈金、新生宝宝可获得宝贝计划津贴等等都是身为州政府应该做的,没有什么值得骄傲,相反的有关福利在实行时就已经出现了大漏洞,富有的人士也可以得到有关福利,而区区每年100令吉的福利金到了民联州政府手上却成为了政治的宣传工具,就如一只母鸡下蛋,全村人都被惊动”。

他表示,国阵通过福利部每年给予槟州贫苦人士,乐龄人士,单亲妈妈的回馈金和津贴就已经超过63百万令吉,而在国阵执政的53年里,也成功的把贫穷率从60年代的45%减少至今天少过5%,国阵照顾人民福利可谓“服侍周到”而且也不哗众取宠到处宣传。

“至于陈宝诗口中国阵是暴力的源头那就更说不过去了,人民的眼睛是雪亮的,308前后,我国政治上日益的趋向暴力就是拜民联所赐,民联一朝得志后就开始以他们一贯街头战士的政治操作模式一样画葫芦的反映在他们的执政模式上,名不见经传的丘光耀和一众民联的领袖们开始了粗口问政,暴力街头示威”。

他遗憾,陈宝诗在还没有了解和做足功课之间就任意的诋毁国阵,但孰不知粗口问政,暴力街头示威,污言秽语问候他人,输了辩论却又企图暴力伤人,指挥示威者冲入禁区等等的行为都源自于民联,但她却选择性的相信,选择性的批评。

“我完全可以了解到陈宝诗想要护主的举动和精神,但是颠倒是非,本末倒置的胡乱开炮就不理智,我们凡是都要实事求是,428大集会相关的涉案人士和警员也都正在接受调查,政府完全透明化的处理,完全没有偏袒任何一方,而我奉劝陈宝诗如果真的要拍马屁,也要有根有据,不要胡乱的冤枉好人!”

抨国阵破坏环境却批太阳能板制造厂 陈清凉:林冠英环保议题持双重标准

槟州马华妇女组主席陈清凉今日谴责林冠英,一边厢声嘶力竭反稀土厂反石化计划,另一边厢却允许一样可造成严重污染环境的外国公司在槟城建太阳能光伏板制造厂,足以见得林冠英虚伪的真面目,对环保议题持双重标准。

“林冠英将威省南部峇都加湾的一块土地买给德国博世公司建太阴能光伏板制造厂,太阳能光伏板的废料也会释放毒物,在制造过程中一样对环境与人体健康有害。”

陈清凉说,被林冠英尊称为“老人”(Old Man)的槟城消协主席莫哈末依里斯在昨日“世界环境日”与居民在甘密山的山坡發展工地示威,指责槟州政府批准一连串的山坡屋业计划严重破坏生态,其中也包括在新港、丹绒武雅都有山坡发展计划。

“莫哈末依里斯指民联政府毫无节制地进行山坡或填土发展计划,使槟城的环境大受冲击,为发展砍伐森林使山上集水区减少,也将引发土地流失和土崩等问题常发生。”

另一方面,陈清凉说,日落洞垃圾场烧足一周之久,所造成的环境破坏和生命威胁可想而知,槟州政府却束手无策,造成槟岛天空上浓烟密布!

“林冠英对环境的不友善,还可从他执意要建海底隧道充分证明。”

她说,众所皆知,建海底隧道就必须挖海床,破坏海底生态是不必说了,更可能会造成海底隧道的出口处原本的高水位会导致地下水流失,造成周边地区下陷的严重问题。

“这4项例子已经明显暴露林冠英虚伪的一面,利用环保议题打击国阵要当环保英雄捞取选票,却偷鸡不成蚀杂米!”
