UMNO Penang are such sore-losers

There are some really stupid jokers in the Penang government and they are all UMNO:

Penang Umno will recommend to the Federal Government to stop all proposed mega projects in the state, include those planned under the Northern Corridor Economic Region (NCER), the second Penang Bridge, the light monorail transit system, the Penang Outer Ring Road, the Penang Sentral and the RapidPenang bus service.

State Umno secretary Datuk Azhar Ibrahim said the previous Gerakan-led state government had worked together with the federal government to bring all sorts of development to Penang.

"Since the people have clearly rejected development and made their choice for a change, we will recommend to the federal government to cancel all such projects. Don’t blame us for this," he said after a state liaison committee meeting here today. In March 8 polls, Umno only won two parliamentary seats and 12 state seats.

They have the nerve to blackmail the populace.

This is typical, if we can't have it then no-one will, attitude of a pompous UMNO. The people have voted for a change in government and they have the nerve to heavy-handedly twist the people's arm into submitting to their own wishes. It is an insult to the fairness in government where policy is separated from the government of the day.

Whatever promises that where made on the federal level before the elections should and must be honored. The federal government is still intact in the hands of BN of which UMNO is the largest shareholder. And rather than looking at their own faults, these jokers in Penang decide to blame the people. Insulting the people's intelligence and subtly telling the people that they were stupid to vote the DAP into government because by doing so, all mega-projects would be withdrawn.

It were threats are what made BN end up where they are today. Blatantly publishing newspaper adverts proclaiming "Only One Choice!"

Hello?

They people had another choice and they made that choice. The rakyat did not vote for no-development, they voted for no-corruption, no-racism, no-religious-drama and no-confident-BN.

So remove the plank in your eye before you judge the speck in your neighbor's eye.
