That is the problem with our politicians. Most of the time they do not think before saying. Or if they said something it is just insulting to our inteligent. Before, they said they wanted all the mega projects in Penang to be scrapped by the federal government because the peoples do not want it as they had voted for Pakatan Rakyat. Actually they are more concerned about their own interest rather than rakyat interest. Wake up all UMNO leaders in Penang. Start to accept reality. Start to work for the rakyat. Start to work on how to keep and stay relevent with the voters. Another 4 to 5 years we would be facing them again. Since March 8th i do not see anything real positive for change other than a denial syndrome one after another among them.
Penang UMNO leaders, all of them, including Pak Lah and Mohd Nor Yakcop, have otak udang encased in Kepala Kayu
At the end of the day , these two blokes will be the richest men in Penang!! Semuanya ada udang sebalik tomyam!! If they were fighting for the malays,what were they doing durin Gerakan regime,when the malays were seen being sidelined in Penang? Sudah terantok baru mengadah!!
