Hello , friends....

My deepest apology for being silent for so long. Many things had happened since I last wrote . News of GE coming is blowing strong.Politicians are gearing up and diverse issues are being cooked up politically.People say in politics , there are no permanent friends or enemies . No doubt it carries some element of truth but to me , in politics there are permanent principles : principles of justice , equality , accountability  , integrity etc.Politicians come and go but these principles remain.My personal hope is that Pakatan Rakyat's leaders be more discerning as far as recruitment of new members are concerned. Be more vigilant against what the Malay maxim says : tali balut or undercover from BN.These tali baluts can easily transform into gunting dalam selimut at any times. Many die-hard DAP veterans are very upset to see that almost all the JKKKs' Chairmen in DUN Jawi are ex-BN men . They were all up in arms against DAP prior to 308  but now...... !The joke in Nibong Tebal is that : to be appointed as chairman of JKKK in DUN Jawi , no need to be a DAP veteran  just make sure you are formerly from MCA or Gerakan ! As a grass root leader of DAP , I really do not know how to explain to the party's veterans what more to the die hard DAP's supporters....Can some one up there help me ?

My fourth term as a city councillor

I was sworn in as a fourth-term city councillor on 7 Jan 2011.The Chief Minister of Penang , YAB Lim Guan Eng and his Deputy , Prof.Rama were the witnesses . As I walked to the stage , I had mixed feelings.If only I accepted the offer to stand in the 2008 GE , I would had been a YB , if not a state Exco . But then , life would had been dead busy. Now though just being a councillor , I had time for my loved ones , i mean quality time . I just bathed my family giant , that is my pet dog , Fang . When we got him , he was barely one foot in length and half foot tall. Now he is almost four times bigger. I just spent nice time chatting with my wife and my youngest son. No hurries , no time constraints...... Would I have the time if I am clued to my office at KOMTAR ? God knows .....
