I have been reading about how some bizmen in Penang are going against Lim Guan Eng. It is sad that it had turned out to be so vindictive.
LGE is both an asset and a risk for his party. I still remember he told me on the night his party won the GE and he was anointed the CM that he will focus on building up the state's process and institutions so that the next govt that comes in will not be able to reverse them. This is for the purpose of check and balance. I told him I was happy that the state govt was in good hand now.
He could have done great things for Penang with his popularity and mandate. He could get people to take the public transport by just showing an example and promoting it. He could get the people to support his transformation plans if he had the vision.
The first term of LGE is a lost period and a mediocre one by his standard and popularity. He shouldn't have misled the people on the public transport and the undersea tunnel. He should have managed the Bayan Mutiara land sale differently and draw up a Master Plan for the new George Town that is modern and knowledge focused. But he had chosen to sell it to a developer friend.
He will win another 5 years but we must help to bring out the best in him. He needs to listen better and he has to be challenged in the state assembly to push the limit and to bring out the best in him and his team. If we do not send 2 non-UMNO representatives in the state assembly, we might spoil and not help LGE.
He is a friend but I would prefer him to be a better CM than a good friend. He is surely angry with me on my tunnel protest. But I am helping to ensure that he has a choice to avoid the history from judging him cruelly or celebrate him as an inclusive visionary. It will become a white elephant and we do not want to name the white elephant; the Tun Lim Guan Eng Tunnel!
Please vote for Ms Rowena Yam (Pulau Tikus) and Dr Thor Teong Gee (Sungai Pinang). They will give him a run for his money and keep him alert.
