DCM Mansor Othman’s unhappiness with Guan Eng’s dominance proves Pakatan’s unity a fraud

It seems that Pakatan’s display of unity, co-operation and good relationships are finally falling apart as mutual dissatisfaction underlines their alliance, proving that all these are just a political show. 

The leaked minutes of Penang PKR’s general elections strategy meeting which was uploaded unto a blog has exposed the fact that PKR is secretly allocating their own candidates for DAP-held seats in Penang, as well as the fact that the state PKR head and Deputy Chief Minister I Mansor Othman is unhappy with the one-party dominance of Penang by DAP and the arrogance of Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng.

Thus, it is no surprise that suspicion and hatred has arisen due to all this dissatisfaction felt by PKR towards DAP.

Mansor Othman’s dissatisfaction can be proven by members of the media as the Penang chief minister can be overbearing at times, and he has single handedly attempted to prevent freedom of speech by imposing a media blackout or ban, using the excuse of unfair reporting by the media.

Guan Eng is a good actor, so much so that he has managed to portray himself as a ‘deity’ to the people of Penang, and able to convince people that media which reports him in a negative light are BN lackeys and reporter who sell themselves like ‘prostitutes’, and the people follow him blindly thanks to his tactic of playing down of his faults while leaving the people in the dark and clamping down on the media.

Therefore, I urge Guan Eng to try to be a good and wise leader to Penangites, working and improving to rid himself of his practise of double standards and to open his mind. He should also listen to public opinion and learn to accept criticism instead on continuing his cat and mouse game with PKR in Penang.
