KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 5, 2023: Mr Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow! Are you still proud of your administration and infrastructure development after five years?
The flash floods even hit your proud state government Komtar areas! Whjat happened to the state’s flood miotigation measures and plans?
Is your DAP-led Pakatan Harapan state government any better than Barisan Nasional (BN)?
Penangites, start monitoring the competency of the current PH government and its administration seriously and realistically.
After governing Penang for three terms (15 years), there are no more room or excuses for incompetebcy. The PH-DAP state government must wake up from its political slumber and stop resting on its laurels.
It will be a folly for the DAP to take the suuport of Penangites for granted. Penangites have dumped two governments (MCA and Gerakan) in their electoral history and the DAP should be no different.
The only question is switching to a more viable and reliable government, if any. For now, Penangites do not have any choice and will have to live with whatevery they now have.
