Singapore Mentor Minister Lee Kuan Yew could have been misled into believing that there was little progress in Penang over the past two decades.Penang Gerakan secretary Ong Thean Lye said several major infrastructure projects in Penang were completed between 1990 and 2008.
These included the Bayan Lepas coastal highway, Jelutong Expressway, the elevated bridges from Sungai Nibong to Sungai Tiram, the Jalan Aziz Ibrahim by-pass, the island’s central sewage treatment plant in Jelutong and the extension of the Penang International Airport and Teluk Bahang Dam.
“The Butterworth Outer Ring Road and the North Butterworth Container Terminal have also been completed and these were certainly not done in the past 15 months.
“The Penang Outer Ring Road project was delayed because of objections from some quarters including the DAP, which was in the Opposition then,” he said.
Ong added that flood mitigation projects here and the Yeap Chor Ee-Bukit Jambul parallel road have also beem completed.
As for basic infrastructure, almost 99 per cent of Penang households had been given water supply while about 98 per cent households had electric supply.
“The entire laying of fibre optic cables for the state was completed, making Penang island the first in the entire country to be fully wired for a new wave of telecommunication advancement.
“That was the reason Telekom set up its national call centre in Komtar,” he said.
Ong said Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng could not be blamed for Lee’s remarks which was made after the Singaporean attended a state briefing in Komtar last Saturday.
“Lim just moved to Penang after taking over as chief minister in March 2008 and we do not blame him for having failed to give a true and honest account on the state’s infrastructure progress to Lee.”

Bom pertama untuk tidak menstabilkan politik Malaysia telah digugurkan dengan membuat kenyataan bahawa dia berjumpa Rosmah kerana dimaklumkan Najib dan Rosmah bekerja secara kumpulan/team untuk mentadbir Malaysia - dia tahu rakyat cukup sensitif dengan Paklah yang mengendung anak menantunya dan isu yang hampir sama dia cuba mengocak Najib - keuntungan dan bahan kepada parti pembangkang dan rakyat untuk membalun Najib.
Yang bodohnya 3 naib Presiden UMNO yang tongang tonggek menyembah ketika menyambutnya.
LKY dengan sekadar berjumpa bebepara pemimpin kerajaan (sebagai protokol) telah berpeluang luas berjumpa dengan pemimpin pembangkang sebagai satu sokongan moral yang sengaja ditunjukkan kepada rakyat Malaysia.
Banyak lagi bom bom psikologi yang akan dilontarkan untuk memastikan politik dan ekonomi Malaysia terumbang ambing.
Cuma LKY sedar, dia tidak mampu berhadapan dengan Tun..pilihan terbaik, jangan jumpa.
Kalau nik aziz jadi PM malaysia, habis kena jual tanah melayu ni.
Tunku,
Seronok bercuti?
Hati-hati kepada orang yang bermata kecil lagi sepit.
sepatutnya tun mahathir pulak pergi ke singapore dan berjumpa pembangkang2 di sana.
Secara mudahnya apakah dia Malaysian Malaysia yang hendak dilaksanakan oleh Lee Kuan Yew itu samalah seperti yang kita lihat di Singapura hari ini. LKY hanya dapat melaksanakan konsep Malaysian Malaysia itu di Singapura sahaja.
Rasanya tidaklah teruk sangat konsep yang hendak beliau laksanakan. Mungkin masyarakat Melayu Singapura rasa macam sedikit terpinggir kerana mereka bukan merupakan golongan majoriti di sana. Apapun orang Melayu di sana hidup agak selesa juga malah ramai yang lebih kaya dari orang Melayu di Malaysia sendiri.
Kadang2 kita ini seperti takut dengan hantu yang kita reka sendiri.
tergelak tgk ada org "melayu" bangga dgn lky.
kasi tau sikit org melayu mana yang hidup selesa di singapore?
helo Alias Mohd Yusof,
janganlah bangga dengan singapura. Polisi singapura adalah perbanyakkan kedatangan warga china dan india.. mudah dapat pr dan malay jobs seekers dari malaysia not welcome unless you have good education and recomendation. kini melayu dah jatuh tangga ketiga di belakang kaum india... nak beli rumah pun ada quota... satu kawasan perumahan 70% cina, melayu 10%, lain2 20%. mana melayu nak jadi majority..
sektor perkerjaan juga begitu.. melayu hanya layak duduk di logistik dalam pasukan tentera singapore.. front line / top brass semua cina.. apalagi nak jadi pilot jet fighter.. minta maaflah. betapa hinanya melayu..
biasanya orang yang buang tabiat yang tiba2 menziarah kawan dan lawan..
Mahathir has started to release his frustration. Whatever is Najib's agenda with regards to S'pore & Kuan Yew it better bear fruit in the not to distant future. Otherwise Johore will show him the exit just as they did with Badawi. So far dont see any difference between Badawi & Najib's S'pore policy.
