GE13: Time for people to ask Penang Government about promises - State Umno Youth

Penang UMNO Chief asks: "The general election this time is not for us to answer but to ask Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and his fellow leaders (in PR) on their promises made to the people."

 The 13th general election is the time for the people of Penang to ask the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) state government about the promises it stridently made when it captured the state five years ago.

Penang Umno Youth chief Dr Ir Shaik Hussain Mydin who said this, noted that during the five years, the sate government did not bring about any transformation but instead, tried to cause disunity among the multiracial society.

"The general election this time is not for us to answer but to ask Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and his fellow leaders (in PR) on their promises made to the people.

"We should be asking where are the affordable houses that the state government promised to build for the low-income group. They have built none," the Bagan Umno Youth head said in his speech at the launching of the "Blue Wave" movement for the Bagan parliamentary constituency, here, Saturday night.

 It was launched by Bagan Umno division chief Datuk Abdul Latif Mirasa where he also received 100 Umno membership forms from a PR representative, Syukor Hashim.

Syukor, from Parti keadilan Rakyat (PKR), who represented his group of friends from PKR, PAS and DAP, said their decision to join BN was because PR failed to bring about change after being given the mandate to govern the state five years ago.

"This time, we wish to turn course, we want to feel the transformation brought by BN, which could bring progress and development to the state and country," he said when speaking before some 1,000 people at the event.

Also present were Bagan parliamentary constituency BN coordinator David Chua and Bagan Dalam state constituency coordinator M.Karupannan, who is also Penang MIC secretary.
