Why MCA is finished

Comment by Thomas Lee

I consider a MCA will be all wiped out during a subsequent ubiquitous choosing for a following reasons:

(1) The people, especially a educated urban voters, have been fed up as well as wish a big as well as extreme change. So they will dump a MCA as well as Gerakan, as well as will go all out to opinion for a alternative front, especially a DAP.

(2) Loo! king during a sort of leaders a MCA now has, it is viewable which almost nothing of them have been fit as well as convincing to be inaugurated representatives. The MCA will remove if it fields a present leaders as well as those who lost in a final ubiquitous election, together with a foolish ones who talk balderdash all a time (like a foolish fellow who wants to set up a "Chinese Perkasa" or which silly Penang lady who pounded Guan Eng for giving projects to Malay contractors around open tenders).

(3) If a DAP fields candidates similar to a late Teoh Beng Hock's sister opposite a MCA president's son in Johore, he will remove his deposit. Donald Duck will additionally be roasted as well as remove his deposition if he is fielded again. There is no goal for any MCA claimant in Penang, as well as a celebration should stay out of a state or risks having all a claimant remove deposits there.

(4) The people have been wise enough not to be assured by a so-called "achievements" MCA boss Chua Soi Lek boasted about, as they know it is a massive rejection of a MCA as well as BN during a final ubiquitous choosing which resulted in Najib as well as Umno giving a concessions to a people, not since of what a MCA has done.

(5) Even a MCA grassroots members have no confidence in a party, with most defecting to stick on a DAP or PKR. If a MCA claim which it has nearly a million members is true, how come a votes in a prior ubiquitous elections have been way below a million-mark? Even a prior boss Ong Tee ! Kiat as well as ex-Wanita arch Chew Mei Fun have given a thumbs-down to a stream leaders, especially a president, saying he should not be fielded by a BN.

(6) The educated as well as intelligent people know which a MCA is slavish as well as subservient to Big Brother Umno in a BN, as well as all a leaders in a Cabinet have been merely window-dressing political mannequins with no essential policy-making power. They have been used to make announcements of policies, programmes as well as projects decided by their Umno bosses, though have been not partial of a real decision-making pro! cess in a government. The wise, intelligent as well as egghead will patently not support a MCA.

Michael Porter and Creating Shared Value (CSV)

October 2, 2011

Michael Porter as well as Creating Shared Value (CSV)

By Andrew Hill

Michael Porter (left) looks as well as behaves similar to a corporate titan as most as an academic. This is not unusual; a knowledge of top business professors is right away tapped almost as frequently by companies as well as governments as it is by students. But a knowledge of Harvard's Prof Porter is a highest-octane fuel available.

Like most heading executives, a Bishop William Lawrence University Professor is used to being listened to. His staff refer to him as "Professor Porter". He wears a suit as well as tie, as well as a photographer receives direction which this is a kind of assignment which requires intelligent infrequent or business clothes during a minimum. And he is busy. Very busy. Earlier in a day of a interview, he was during a residence assembly of a single of dual companies where he is a director. And he contingency leave to catch a moody in 55 mins precisely.

If this were not daunting enough, a talk takes place in a Institute for Strategy as well as Competitiveness. The neo-Georgian town residence upon a Harvard Business School campus, its pilastered entrance newly re-roofed in gleaming copper, is, according to his central biography, "dedicated to furthering Prof Porter's work".

In a room where we meet, there is a design of his dual daughters upon a mantelpiece. The institute's bookshelves, however, have been filled with mixed editions of his 19 books as well as a walls adorned with his diplomas, certificates as well as decorations.

Prof Porter's repute has put him near a centre of discussions with both arch executives as well as politicians about how to revive US expansion as well as prosperity. Sitting down during his! own boa rdroom table, with a demeanour which brooks no small talk, he blames a vexed state of a economy in partial upon cyclical factors retrenchment after a real estate bubble, corporate boards' caution about domestic investment as well as in partial upon "a some-more elemental competitiveness problem".

It is predicted which competitiveness is a lens through which Prof Porter sees a problem. At a root of his success was his initial essay in Harvard Business Review, some-more than 30 years ago, which summarized a "five basic forces" which determine a state of foe in any attention (customer power, supplier power, a threat of new entrants, substitute products as well as rivalry between established competitors). Companies as well as subsequently countries found it a simple as well as utilitarian approach to assess their own strengths as well as weaknesses, as well as tract forays in to new markets.

It still animates Prof Porter, whose steady, high-velocity delivery is punctuated by a mime artist's repertoire of hand gestures (sewing a button, screwing up a jar, chopping a carrot). He points out which globalisation has benefited higher-income, higher-skilled people similar to him. So, having proposed his career giving speeches upon plan as well as competitiveness in a US, he right away gets invited all over a world. "The market for me has increasing exponentially," he says, "because all these countries have been seeking for talent." Lower- as well as middle-income workers, however, have suffered. "We've let all kinds of obstacles tumble in a approach of a US as an effective as well as fit as well as productive place to do business," he says, citing ability gaps, poor infrastructure, as well as a burdens of illness benefits, regulation as well as litigation. At a same time, "other countries have offered a improved value proposition".

While Prof Porter retains an underlying optimism, this loss of competitiveness obviously pains him. "This is intolerable for a US. If we go behind 100 years, we ! find whi ch a US unequivocally was a outrageous colonize in open preparation The US was a real colonize in formulating a national, unequivocally low university complement The US was a colonize in a widespread main road complement We stepped to a plate in a past as well as done very, unequivocally bold investments in a elemental environment for competitiveness. But right now, we can't seem to determine upon any of these things."

The financial as well as mercantile crisis additionally sparked a bonfire of most of a during large supposed educational orthodoxies upon which a developed world's wealth was built. Has it jarred his conviction in his theories?

Not a bit. Prof Porter says his 5 forces are, if anything, "more as well as some-more as well as some-more radically critical as well as visible, since a lot of a barriers as well as a distortions which would brief or mitigate these forces as well as a need for plan as well as rival advantage have been swept away" by globalisation, a increasing quickness as well as clarity of information, as well as a decline in trade barriers.

"What I've always tried to do, for improved or for worse, is to get during a underlying, fundamental, constructional elements of foe as well as of how firms compete, in a approach that's unequivocally invariant to whatever most appropriate practices happen to exist or whatever trends are," he claims. "So we can do a 5 forces analysis in 1985 as well as we can come to a single conclusion based upon a circumstances of a day, as well as we can take a same attention in 2010 as well as it's starting to demeanour unequivocally different."

In 2008, Prof Porter revisited as well as revised his 5 forces article, reviewing a "vast literature" which had emerged around it as well as concluding which a strange speculation was robust.

He has additionally not complacent upon his prominently displayed laurels. Having summarized a 5 forces' impact upon strategy, he became meddlesome in a competitiveness of locations as w! ell as n ations, as well as in a business clusters which emerge around successful companies. He parlayed this in to analyses of middle cities, a compatibility of environmental progress as well as mercantile growth, as well as his latest headline concept: "creating shared value"(CSV) a thought which corporate activity which advances multitude will contribute to a positive cycle which allows everyone to grow faster.

Prof Porter insists "CSV" will underpin a origination of "a next as well as some-more sophisticated perspective of what capitalism is all about", though it has stirred up a small rancour in a established corporate amicable responsibility community. Advocates of CSR see Prof Porter's judgment as neither new nor different. "It's radically different," he retorts, pointing to a most emails he receives from companies "energised by a thought which they could cruise about all of these amicable issues in this opposite way".

It is additionally opposite from his progressing work, which was grounded in data-based research. The Economist, for example, criticised "the paucity of evidence". The HBR essay Prof Porter co-authored in Jan cites a array of examples of most appropriate practice, such as Nestl's await for coffee-growers in Latin America as well as construction company Urbi's "rent-to-own" mortgage-financing plan in Mexico. But as Prof Porter himself says, most examples of most appropriate practice have been "constantly changing, so which means a lot of management novel after a while starts to demeanour a small bit stale".

Could which be a fate of his work upon CSV? He admits which finding experimental evidence as well as await for a judgment "is a preoccupation now". But "if companies can start to show a expansion in market share [and] distinction improvements which they get from pursuing these strategies, I cruise collateral markets will turn a greatest cheerleaders".

Eventually, he says, a universe will demeanour behind as well as cruise a growth of CSV alongside China, globali! sation a s well as a mercantile downturn as "one of a large discontinuities of this sold indicate of mercantile history".

Given Prof Porter's viewable desire to leave his mark upon history, I consternation to what border recent reversals of history have left their mark upon his carefully varnished repute quite his work with a Libyan supervision of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. Monitor, a consultancy he co-founded, has certified it failed to register as a lobbyist for a now-disgraced regime. Prof Porter himself helped hope for reports, including a 2006 study heralding "the emergence of a new era" as a nation integrated itself in to a global economy.

For a initial time, a verbal onrush of his thoughts slows. The invitation came during a quite exciting indicate in Libyan history, he says, when a nation "had radically settled its disputes with a rest of a world" as well as it was central US process to await a nation as it edged towards reform. He stopped work in Libya in 2007, when it became clear a hopes for remodel had died. He has since turn some-more asocial about invitations to attach his substantial kudos to companies or governments: "I am right away substantially even some-more careful in all of my work as well as it's not even in musty places any more."

As it happens, he says, a single of a Libyans who worked with him upon a strange study is right away de facto budding minister of a transitional council. The report he helped write, as well as others, are, to Prof Porter's credit, still available upon his institute's website. What is more, he says, they will be "incredibly utilitarian as well as valid for where Libya goes from here".

As a former high propagandize sports star creates a dash for a airport, a disproportion between him as well as a arch senior manager suddenly becomes clear. Few business people would design to see their strategies exist them. Prof Porter, by contrast, has no disbelief which his ideas will still be fueling corporate, mercantile as well as domestic plan long! after h e has left his hospital for a final time.

"We have been pushing a reset button; Hindraf's approach will take a brand new dimension," pronounced Hindraf inhabitant coordinator W Samulingam (right) in a press conference during their Kuala Lumpur domicile today.

"We recognise which you have had problems with Pakatan ... however it is not a time to quarrel upon those issues, though time to set in reserve or differences as well as work out a strategy as well as synergy which is absolutely required as well as indeed possible to constraint Putrajaya," combined inhabitant confidant N Ganesan.

Ganesan admits which Hindraf cannot reject a statute celebration upon a own, though pronounced which "recent trends" uncover which Pakatan "will not be able to lift off a ouster of Umno upon their own either".

He pronounced according to an estimate by a Socio-Economic & En! vironmen tal Research Institute of Penang, a antithesis needs a net pitch of 6 percent in their foster if they goal to take Putrajaya.

Meanwhile their own investigate upon past voting patterns, a projected twenty to 50 percent pitch in Indian votes divided from Pakatan competence price Pakatan up to 18 Parliamentary seats as well as a states of Selangor, Perak as well as Kedah.

Should a unfolding become reality, it might meant a "glue" which holds Pakatan together would come apart as well as celebration differences would take over as well as could possibly remove a coalition, he said.

'Common enemy'

Ganesan pronounced Hindraf as well as Pakatan had a "common goal" to remove! Umno fr om energy in order to "eliminate extremist as well as religious supremacist state-sponsored policies which have trampled upon a rights of minority communities".

He believed Hindraf could achieve "synergy" with Pakatan to this end.

Ganesan (right) says Pakatan has usually managed to significantly increase a Chinese support, which is unlikely to offset a single number percentage loss of await in Malay votes to BN as well as a estimated vital pitch in ! Indian v otes.

From studying Indian voting patterns in a 5 previous peninsular by-elections, Indian opinion swings of up to 50 percent were wilful in a outcomes, he said.

For example in a Merlimau by-election, a 40 to 50 percent pitch in Indian votes towards BN in two polling stations had price Pakatan a state seat, he said.

On a alternative hand their analysis shows, for example, which a 10 percent pitch against BN in their state seats in Selangor could meant 6 more seats for a opposition, while a twenty percent pitch might translate to 10 seats for Pakatan.

Hindraf's analysis also suggests which eight cabinet ministers might remove their seats if Indian votes pitch to Pakatan, namely Defence Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (Bagan Dato), Transport Minister Kong Cho Ha (Lumut), Minister in a Prime Minister's Department Nazri Abdul Aziz (Padang Renggas), Local Government Minister Chor Chee Hiong (Alor Setar), Human Resource Minister S Subramaniam (Segamat), Tourism Minister Ng Yen Yen (Raub), Second Finance Minister Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah (Tambun) as well as Agriculture as well as Agro-based Industry Minister Noh Omar (Tanjong Karang).

Pakatan impact 'not felt'

Ganesan pronounced which Hindraf's deficiency in a campaigning of those past 5 by-elections had resulted in Pakatan unwell to obtain a Indian opinion as well as was a ! cause in their respective defeats.

"It is a organisation belief which a Indian electorate will reply if Hindraf calls upon them to come out as they did in a 12th GE, to opinion Umno out," pronounced Ganesan.

This, he pronounced was since a Indians identified with Hindraf as a ones who could voice their issues.

"Pakatan has so far not done an impact which they (the Indian community) can feel," he added.

When asked if Hindraf was willing to come to terms upon a previous final they had done to Pakatan, Ganesan responded they were not commenting upon a emanate nonetheless saying, "The ball is in their court. They have to make a call."

"At this stage, if they (Pakatan) can see a design (for GE13), it is doom. We have been offering a assistance," he added.

On a question of how a new hudud quarrel might have impacted a Indian electorate's sentiments about Pakatan, Ganesan said, "Our supporters do not unequivocally feel it is a vital emanate of concern to them; their concerns have been more basic."

He combined which a emanate w! as unlik ely to start Pakatan as carrying energy in 4 states coupled with a awaiting of taking over Putrajaya was a "glue" which held a coalition together.

Michael Porter and Creating Shared Value (CSV)

October 2, 2011

Michael Porter as well as Creating Shared Value (CSV)

By Andrew Hill

Michael Porter (left) looks as well as behaves similar to a corporate titan as most as an academic. This is not unusual; a wisdom of tip commercial operation professors is right away tapped roughly as frequently by companies as well as governments as it is by students. But a wisdom of Harvard's Prof Porter is a highest-octane fuel available.

Like most heading executives, a Bishop William Lawrence University Professor is used to being listened to. His staff refer to him as "Professor Porter". He wears a fit as well as tie, as well as a photographer receives instruction which this is a kind of assignment which requires smart casual or commercial operation clothes during a minimum. And he is busy. Very busy. Earlier in a day of a interview, he was during a house meeting of a single of two companies where he is a director. And he contingency leave to catch a flight in 55 minutes precisely.

If this were not daunting enough, a speak takes place in a Institute for Strategy as well as Competitiveness. The neo-Georgian town house upon a Harvard Business School campus, a pilastered opening newly re-roofed in gleaming copper, is, according to his official biography, "dedicated to furthering Prof Porter's work".

In a room where we meet, there is a picture of his two daughters upon a mantelpiece. The institute's bookshelves, however, have been filled with multiple editions of his 19 books as well as a walls ornate with his diplomas, certificates as well as decorations.

Prof Porter's reputation has put him near a centre of discussions with both arch government team as well as politicians about how to revive US expansion as well as prosperit! y. Sitti ng down during his own boardroom table, with a demeanour which brooks no tiny talk, he blames a depressed state of a manage to buy in partial upon cyclical factors retrenchment after a real estate bubble, corporate boards' counsel about done during home investment as well as in partial upon "a some-more elemental competitiveness problem".

It is predicted which competitiveness is a lens through which Prof Porter sees a problem. At a root of his success was his first essay in Harvard Business Review, some-more than thirty years ago, which summarized a "five basic forces" which establish a state of foe in any industry (customer power, retailer power, a hazard of brand brand new entrants, substitute products as well as adversary in in between determined competitors). Companies as well as subsequently countries found it a simple as well as useful approach to consider their own strengths as well as weaknesses, as well as tract forays in to brand brand new markets.

It still animates Prof Porter, whose steady, high-velocity delivery is punctuated by a mime artist's repertoire of hand gestures (sewing a button, screwing up a jar, chopping a carrot). He points out which globalisation has benefited higher-income, higher-skilled people similar to him. So, having proposed his career giving speeches upon plan as well as competitiveness in a US, he right away gets invited all over a world. "The market for me has increasing exponentially," he says, "because all these countries have been seeking for talent." Lower- as well as middle-income workers, however, have suffered. "We've let all kinds of obstacles tumble in a approach of a US as an in effect as well as fit as well as prolific place to do business," he says, citing ability gaps, poor infrastructure, as well as a burdens of illness benefits, regulation as well as litigation. At a same time, "other countries have offered a improved value proposition".

While Prof Porter retains an underlying optimism, this loss of competitiveness patently hee! dfulness him. "This is intolerable for a US. If we go behind 100 years, we find which a US unequivocally was a huge pioneer in public education The US was a real pioneer in formulating a national, unequivocally low university system The US was a pioneer in a interstate highway system We stepped to a image in a past as well as done very, unequivocally bold investments in a elemental environment for competitiveness. But right now, we can't appear to agree upon any of these things."

The monetary as well as mercantile predicament also sparked a bonfire of most of a widely accepted educational orthodoxies upon which a developed world's wealth was built. Has it shaken his faith in his theories?

Not a bit. Prof Porter says his 5 forces are, if anything, "more as well as some-more as well as some-more essentially important as well as visible, because a lot of a barriers as well as a distortions which would blunt or lessen these forces as well as a need for plan as well as competitive value have been swept away" by globalisation, a increasing quickness as well as clarity of information, as well as a decline in traffic barriers.

"What I've regularly attempted to do, for improved or for worse, is to get during a underlying, fundamental, structural elements of foe as well as of how firms compete, in a approach that's unequivocally immutable to whatever most appropriate practices happen to exist or whatever trends are," he claims. "So we can do a 5 forces analysis in 1985 as well as we can come to a single end formed upon a circumstances of a day, as well as we can take a same industry in 2010 as well as it's going to demeanour unequivocally different."

In 2008, Prof Porter revisited as well as revised his 5 forces article, reviewing a "vast literature" which had emerged around it as well as final which a strange speculation was robust.

He has also not rested upon his prominently displayed laurels. Having summarized a 5 forces' stroke upon strategy, he became meddlesome in a competitive! ness of locations as well as nations, as well as in a commercial operation clusters which arise around successful companies. He parlayed this in to analyses of inner cities, a harmony of environmental swell as well as mercantile growth, as well as his ultimate title concept: "creating common value"(CSV) a idea which corporate activity which advances multitude will contribute to a certain cycle which allows everybody to grow faster.

Prof Porter insists "CSV" will underpin a origination of "a subsequent as well as some-more worldly view of what capitalism is all about", though it has influenced up some resentment in a determined corporate amicable responsibility community. Advocates of CSR see Prof Porter's judgment as neither brand brand new nor different. "It's essentially different," he retorts, indicating to a most emails he receives from companies "energised by a idea which they could think about all of these amicable issues in this opposite way".

It is also opposite from his progressing work, which was grounded in data-based research. The Economist, for example, criticised "the paucity of evidence". The HBR essay Prof Porter co-authored in January cites a series of examples of most appropriate practice, such as Nestl's await for coffee-growers in Latin America as well as building a whole company Urbi's "rent-to-own" mortgage-financing plan in Mexico. But as Prof Porter himself says, most examples of most appropriate practice have been "constantly changing, so which equates to a lot of government literature after a whilst starts to demeanour a small bit stale".

Could which be a predestine of his work upon CSV? He admits which finding empirical evidence as well as await for a judgment "is a engrossment now". But "if companies can start to uncover a expansion in market share [and] profit improvements which they get from posterior these strategies, I think collateral markets will turn a greatest cheerleaders".

Eventually, he says, a universe will demeanour behind as well as consider a! develop ment of CSV to one side China, globalisation as well as a mercantile downturn as "one of a big discontinuities of this particular indicate of mercantile history".

Given Prof Porter's obvious enterprise to leave his symbol upon history, I wonder to what border brand new reversals of story have left their symbol upon his carefully varnished reputation quite his work with a Libyan government of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. Monitor, a consultancy he co-founded, has admitted it unsuccessful to register as a lobbyist for a now-disgraced regime. Prof Porter himself helped prepare reports, together with a 2006 investigate heralding "the emergence of a brand brand new era" as a nation integrated itself in to a global economy.

For a first time, a verbal onrush of his thoughts slows. The invitation came during a quite sparkling indicate in Libyan history, he says, when a nation "had essentially staid a disputes with a rest of a world" as well as it was official US process to await a nation as it edged towards reform. He stopped work in Libya in 2007, when it became transparent a hopes for remodel had died. He has given turn some-more cynical about invitations to insert his estimable acclamation to companies or governments: "I am right away probably even some-more careful in all of my work as well as it's not even in funky places any more."

As it happens, he says, a single of a Libyans who worked with him upon a strange investigate is right away de facto prime apportion of a transitional council. The report he helped write, as well as others, are, to Prof Porter's credit, still accessible upon his institute's website. What is more, he says, they will be "incredibly useful as well as current for where Libya goes from here".

As a former high school sports star creates a dash for a airport, a disproportion in in between him as well as a arch executive suddenly becomes clear. Few commercial operation people would design to see their strategies outlast them. Prof Porter, by contrast, has no disb! elief wh ich his ideas will still be fueling corporate, mercantile as well as political plan prolonged after he has left his hospital for a final time.

Selangor to MCA: Lets have a land premium policy debate

By Shazwan Mustafa Kamal

October 01, 2011

On Jun 1, Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim had pronounced owners would be since dual options to compensate their premiums following a death of a 66- or 99-year franchise period.

Under a initial option, they would be authorised to replenish a franchise by paying a full reward at a thirty per cent discount.

The other choice was to request for a renewal of a franchise at usually RM1,000 as well as compensate a reward usually when a skill is sold.

Calling Theng's remarks "dumb", Faekah Husin, who is Khalid's political secretary, challenged a MCA male to an "open debate" upon a matter.

In a statement today, Faekah explained which Selangor's land reward options authorised larger coherence for people in Selangor to own homes/property.

"When we decided to come out with legitimate land grants, we found there were people who could not afford to compensate land premiums at a stream rate.

"So we gave them dual options either follow a old ! scheme o r a new scheme where we usually need to compensate RM1,000 to own a grant," she said.

Faekah indicted Theng of representing a interests of a couple of Barisan Nasional cronies who have not paid a land reward as well as who are now "agitated" which a stream administration department has cancelled their land deals.

MCA's attacks opposite a Selangor supervision come only as tip celebration leaders issued directives for an all-out attack upon a sovereign opposition.

MCA Youth arch Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong told his youth wing currently to focus upon "exposing a lies of a opposition" as well as to have electorate realise PR has been unable to do past choosing promises.

MCA suffered a worst electoral better during a 2008 general elections where it mislaid 25 of a 40 sovereign as well as 59 of a 90 state seats it contested.

scumbags in our civil society !

Why should Guan Eng apologize for using down the associate arch apportion of the Johor state with regards to the tall crime rate as compared to Penang state ? Johore is scandalous for broad-daylight rapist activities, no ?

Frankly all arch ministers should be ashamed of themselves if they cannot give an order to the military in their respective state to do their job as guardians of the law as well as teach in their dumb heads who actually pays their salaries any month. And some-more importantly it is the military who have been the real shameless free-loaders who pick up their salary monthly of the tax-payers hard warranted ringgits as well as lay upon their donkey waiting for directives from their UMNO mas! ters to disrupt as well as make arrests during any civil society wake up as long as it has not got the BN's blessing, right ?

So if CM Lim Guan Eng had indeed criticised the shocking state of rapist activities in Johor, during least he's got balls to criticise his associate CMs instead of covering their asses in the "adik-beradik"fashion.

This country has gone funny where crime is endangered as snatch-thieves, muggers, burglars as well as mat-rempits resolutely RULE the streets in any given state as well as locale ! Shouldn't the military be blamed wholly for all the mess ?? I positively will put the censure squarely upon the totally lazy attitude of these trigger-happy government servants in blue who abuse their powers absolutely as well as chuck the censure upon uncooperative adults for not"tipping" them off to solve petty as well as community crimes effectively. Seeing because you need to live in the gated or "caged" community explains, yes ?! < span>

But if it concerns the big-shot "datuk" or any BN napoleon living in the fancy residence who lodges the military report, you can be sure these boys-in-blue will come using instantly to the doorsteps to take reports or round up the couple of suspects immediately as well as chuck the book upon them as well as complete the investigations inside of the day or so as well as case solved as well as closed.

Funny how you have all review so many times as well as upon so many different months as well as years apart in the papers of the certain "mamak" squad being utterly wiped-out. And year after year they have wiped-out the same squad as well as sealed the case. Mamak! squad ha s clones, perhaps ?

Now back to which "bad-mouthing" remarks of Guan Eng.....chief ministers, like all other government servants should be given incentives as well as rewards for daring to finger the associate arch apportion but fright as well as favour. That is the usually way to go in the civil society as they too have been duty-bound as well as responsible to the tax-paying adults as usually in the civilised state can the adults be giveaway to travel the streets but fright of snatch-thieves, muggers as well as mat-rempits.

Way to go Guan Eng.... the adults as well as especially the tourists in Penang have been some-more giveaway to try out further but fright of these scumbag snatch-thieves,muggers as well as mat-rempits any time of day ! The military in Penang have been maybe the bit some-more "citizen conscious" as well as unit the streets afterwards their counter-parts everywhere else who have been hiding at the back of underbrush to locate speeding motorists as well as cell-phone using drivers to "negotiate" their offenses !

And which is the great shame as well as the glaring law folks, certitude me !
