Penang CM to continue picking competent people to serve state

Posted by YB. R.S.N. Rayer at 12:51 PM

PENANG: Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has given a personal guarantee on his policies of appointing Barisan Nasional members to positions in the state in an effort to placate his own party members.

He said he would continue with the policy to give opportunity to anyone with good credentials and capability to serve the state, in line with his competency, accountability and transparency (CAT) approach.
“I will not run away from taking responsibility over the decisions that I have made.
“I am confident the party (DAP) will support my decision. We want to implement the CAT approach, and we must start somewhere,” said Lim who is also DAP secretary-general.

Lim said this in response to mixed reaction from DAP leaders over the appointment of former Gerakan deputy secretary-general Datuk Lee Kah Choon as InvestPenang executive chairman and director of the Penang Development Corporation.

Among those who opposed the move was DAP chairman Karpal Singh.

“We will discuss during a meeting with DAP MPs on Sunday. I will talk about the policy and spirit of good governance. I hope to get them to agree that we should adopt the new approach,” he said.
Lim said even Barisan Nasional had appointed then DAP secretary-general and former Kota Melaka MP Kerk Kim Hock as National Unity Advisory Panel member in 2004.
“When Kerk accepted the post, the party did not demand his resignation. In fact, I even congratulated him,” he added.

Lim, however, acknowledged that the posts offered to Lee were much higher.

    I wonder there is rejuvenation of Chinese dominance in the present DAP government. We are not able to erase the nostalgia of City Council before the legislation of Local Government Act 1976 where City Council was once labeled as City Chinese Council.
    Indians and Malays were sidelined. But we do not deny City Council at that time was administered well with surplus budget.

    People in Penang may realize that there is no different between Malay and Chinese dominance. But Indians would prefer to have Malay dominance as we can still survive but not under Chinese dominance. You need not go far, just see Singapore.
    Why is DAP is not advocating the local government election?
    You better tell to Lim Guan Eng and to his father the next election Indians may think twice to vote Chinese dominance party in particular DAP.
