It's a wise thing to do, the penang government realised the importance to develop every district in Penang.
Otherwise too much concentration on one district or island only.
FYI, there is 3 district in penang mainland. Consist of SPU, SPT and SPS.
SPT district have Penang Bridge, and SPS have Penang bridge 2.
So it's only right that SPU too have the tunnel.
It's to make a balance of development in all district.

Of course there will always be some who disagree and agree. After all human should have their own opinion. But you have to look at the bigger picture.

Before anyone opens his mouth an talk bad about the Penang government, then compare BN administration of Penang before YB LGE takes over. Talking is cheap , so please show some proof.



Kerajaan BN Pulau Pinang menjual 980 ekar tanah di Tanjong Tokong kepada pihak pemaju dengan harga RM42.7 juta atau RM1 setiap kaki persegi. Kerajaan Pakatan pula menjual tanah secara tender terbuka - hanya 103 ekar Bayan Mutiara dijual dengan harga RM1.07 bilion atau RM240 setiap kaki persegi. Keuntungan yang diperolehi pula dipulangkan kepada rakyat negeri.

Semasa pentadbiran BN sebelum 2008, hutang Talam kepada kerajaan negeri Selangor terkumpul berpuluh tahun sehingga RM392 juta, satu sen pun tak dikutip. Selepas kemenangan Pakatan, hutang ini dikutip 100% dalam jangkamasa 6 bulan sahaja.

....talking without proof is just to idiotic, talk with some proof to show..nowadays Malaysians are better informed and please don't think that they are stupid!!

Pulau Pinang telah membuktikan bahawa pentadbiran Pakatan adalah jauh lebih cekap untuk menjimatkan wang dan aset kerajaan. BN memperuntukkan 325 ekar tanah kepada pihak pemaju untuk mendapat Lebuhraya Jelutong bernilai RM325 juta. Sebaliknya pimpinan Pakatan telah mentenderkan jalanraya dan lebuhraya bernilai RM6.5 bilion dengan kos 110 ekar tanah sahaja....

Anda pilih siapa?


Anda pilih siapa?


Kerajaan Pakatan di bawah pimpinan Lim Guan Eng berjaya mendapat nilai RM6.5 bilion daripada sekeping tanah 110 ekar sahaja kerana kami melaksanakan tender terbuka antarabangsa.

Projek RM6.5 bilion ini merangkumi jalanraya 21km dan juga sebuah terowong bawah Selat Pulau Pinang 6.5km. Hanya dengan tender terbuka, rakyat akan menikmati nilai yang paling tinggi, dengan kos yang paling rendah.

Sebaliknya, kerajaan BN sebelum 2008 di bawah pimpinan Tan Sri Koh Tsu Koon hanya dapat sebuah lebuhraya 6km bernilai RM325 juta dengan sekeping tanah yang jauh lebih besar, 325 ekar.

Ini adalah akibat pentadbiran yang tidak telus di mana keuntungan kroni-kroni BN diutamakan.

Kami percaya jika dasar ini dilaksanakan di kerajaan persekutuan, kami akan dapat mencapai peningkatan hasil dan penjimatan kos yang lebih tinggi lagi supaya wang ini dapat meringankan beban rakyat dan juga menaiktarafkan infrastructur negara.

BN beri tanah besar, dapat nilai yang terlalu rendah. Pakatan beri tanah kecil, dapat nilai berbilion-bilion untuk rakyat. Anda pilih siapa?

but personnel opinion, i prefer a new bridge than a tunnel, the undersea tunnel subjected to huge amount of sea water pressure.

there is good also doing the tunnel. the engineering knowledge/technology transferred is invaluable. Now we ask China firm build via JV, next time we go & compete with them internationally ?

contract sure got people will win & sure got people will lose one la, just have to make sure the tendering/awarding process is fair

..and Selangor Pakat Rakyat government saves Selangor Rkyat money...does BN/UMNO does this?????? So, anda pilih siapa?


Selangor semasa zaman BN telah menswastakan perkhidmatan kutipan sampah kepada syarikat Alam Flora Sdn Bhd tanpa sebarang tender. Pada 2010, selepas konsesi Alam Flora tamat tempohnya, kerajaan PR Selangor telah memperkenalkan tender terbuka yang diuruskan oleh setiap majlis perbandaran (PBT).

Akibat dasar telus dan terbuka, rakyat Selangor dapat penjima...tan sebanyak RM81 juta setiap tahun!

Anda pilih siapa?


Kerajaan BN mempunyai dasar menswastakan segala perkhidmatan kerajaan - seperti air, pengangkutan, jalanraya dll - yang boleh mendatangkan keuntungan lumayan kepada kroni-kroni mereka. Segala proses penswastaan adalah tidak telus dan tidak melalui sebarang tender terbuka untuk mendapat mutu tertinggi dengan kos paling rendah.

Perkhidmatan pengutipan sampah di negeri Selangor telah diswastakan kepada Alam Flora pada tahun 90-an, syarikat milik DRB-Hicom di mana Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary merupakan pemilik saham terbesar.

Selepas Pakatan mengambil-alih kerajaan Selangor, apabila konsesi Alam Flora tamat, Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim cuba merunding semula konsesi untuk menurunkan kos kepada kerajaan. Akan tetapi, rundingan tersebut gagal dan Alam Flora memulangkan konsesi tersebut kepada kerajaan.

Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim tidak cuba menswastakan konsesi tersebut kepada mana-mana pihak yang tertentu. Sebaliknya, beliau mengarah supaya perkhidmatan ini ditender terbuka secara terus oleh setiap PBT kepada kontraktor-kontraktor kecil. Dasar ini bukan sahaja dapat memberikan peluang secara langsung kepada kontraktor kecil tanpa "orang tengah" yang memakan komisen, ia juga mendatangkan penjimatan besar kepada kerajaan sebanyak RM81 juta setiap tahun!

Pada awalnya, semasa penyesuaian dan perlaksanaan dasar baru ini mendatangkan sedikit kerumitan kepada rumahtangga di Selangor. Akan tetapi, segala masalah telahpun dibereskan dan mutu perkhidmatan sekarang tidak kurang atau lebih baik daripada zaman BN, dengan kos yang jauh lebih rendah.

Kerajaan-kerajaan Pakatan akan menjalankan tender terbuka untuk semua projek kerajaan, tak kira samada penswastaan atau perolehan. Penjimatan beratus-ratus juta setiap tahun dapat dipulangkan kepada rakyat dengan infrastructure yang lebih baik dan bayaran kebajikan kepada pihak berkeperluan yang lebih tinggi.

Kalau kerajaan negeri yang begitu kecil bajetnya dapat menjimatkan beratus-ratus juta, apatah lagi kalau PR dapat menguasai Putrajaya yang mempunyai bajet 150 kali-ganda bajet Selangor.

Selangor di bawah PR dipimpin oleh Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, telah menunjukkan prestasi kewangan yang cermerlang. Rezab kewangan kerajaan semasa 2008 adalah hanya RM400 juta. Akan tetapi dalam jangka masa yang pendek sahaja, ...rezab ini telah bertambah berkali-ganda ke RM2.5 bilion!


Anda pilih siapa?

Pencapaian ini bukannya disebabkan wang kerajaan tidak dibelanjakan seperti yang selalu dituduh oleh pembangkang Barisan Nasional. Malah, perbelanjaan kerajaan telah meningkat dari RM1.1 bilion pada 2008 ke RM1.6 bilion tahun ini.

Penjimatan ini telah dicapai walaupun kerajaan Selangor bawah PR telah memberikan pelbagai bayaran kebajikan kepada rakyat Selangor yang tidak pernah diperuntukkan oleh BN. Antara perbelanjaan yang besar adalah 20m3 air percuma untuk setiap keluarga yang memakan perbelanjaan sebanyak RM650 juta sejak dasar ini dilaksanakan. Sekolah Agama Rakyat, Sekolah Rendah Cina dan Tamil juga mendapat bantuan kerajaan negeri berpuluh-puluh juta, walaupun ia merupakan tanggungjawab kerajaan pusat BN.

Pencapaian kerajaan Selangor meningkatkan rezab dan meningkatkan perbelanjaan yang mendahulukan kepentingan rakyat hanya tercapai kerana sebuah pentadbiran yang bersih dan beramanah. Ia juga membuktikan kecekapan pemimpin PR dalam pengurusan dan pentadbiran ekonomi dan kewangan.

Hendakkah rakyat Selangor memberikan rezab yang telah terkumpul ini dipulangkan kepada BN pada pilihanraya yang akan datang? Wang rakyat yang lama dijimatkan ini akan tersia-sia diselewengkan sekali lagi oleh pemimpin BN.

Selangor di bawah PR dipimpin oleh Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, yang bukan sahaja bekerja keras, tetapi juga terbukti bersih & telus. Manakala, mantan MB BN Dato' Seri Mohd Khir Toyo dihukum mahkamah 12 bulan penjara atas kesalah...an rasuah.


Anda pilih siapa?


Walaupun Suruhanjaya Pengecah Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) cuba sedaya-upaya untuk memperkaitkan Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim dengan rasuah dan tuduhan-tuduhan liar, akhirnya SPRM terpaksa mengaku bahawa beliau adalah bersih.

Pada masa yang sama, mantan MB Selangor, Dato' Seri Mohd Khir Toyo didapati berasuah oleh Mahkamah kerana berpeluang membeli rumah mewah dengan harga yang terlalu murah daripada pihak kontraktor yang telah diberi pelbagai kontrak daripada kerajaan negeri semasa beliau memimpin, dari tahun 2000 sehingga 2008.

Apakah yang akan terjadi kepada kekayaan Selangor jikalau Khir Toyo menang dalam pilihanraya 2008 tidak dapat terfikir. Masalah pimpinan UMNO sekarang begitu rumit sehingga presiden UMNO Datuk Seri Najib Razak terpaksa dilantik sebagai Pengarah Pilihanraya Selangor BN kerana tiada pimpinan UMNO Selangor yang setanding dengan imej bersih Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim.

Dan kalaulah, PR tewas di Selangor dalam PRU-13 yang akan datang seperti yang dijangka dan diharapkan oleh pemimpin UMNO, maka hartanah kerajaan Selangor akan sekali lagi diselewengkan kepada pemimpin dan kroni-kroni BN.

Pakatan regime won’t bankrupt nation, says Musa Hitam


KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will not become bankrupt if Pakatan Rakyat (PR) trumps the Barisan Nasional (BN) to take Putrajaya, Tun Musa Hitam said as concern grows over the nation’s economic state amid a possible regime change in the coming polls.

The former deputy prime minister appeared to defend the opposition pact, which has been forecast by politicians and some observers aligned to the ruling BN coalition as likely to empty the nation’s coffers and scare off foreign investors with their proposed public policies in their bid to take federal power.

“That is a political statement; in my opinion, no. In fact, I have openly commented on this matter, including to bankers and outsiders.

“If the opposition were to rule, they would not make foreign investors run away. They will not do so and bankrupt the economy,” Musa was quoted as saying at a news conference in Shah Alam yesterday by Malay language news website, Sinar Harian Online.

The 78-year-old, who had been in office from 1981 to 1986, was reported saying the pact would work hard to maintain the country’s economic growth should it win in the 13th general election as it was important to present a positive picture to draw in investors.

Without naming any one person or party, he lashed out at PR’s critics who have been mounting a psychological campaign against the PKR-DAP-PAS partnership by repeatedly casting doubt on their election manifesto.

“If you accept the concept of democracy, you will therefore not say another party will bankrupt the nation,” Musa was quoted saying.

Malaysia’s economy grew 5.4 per cent last year, slightly above the economy’s potential rate of about five per cent, global research house Moody’s Analytics reported last month.

Southeast Asia’s third-largest economy will weather the next general election and maintain its robust growth even if there is a change in government, renowned world economist Nouriel Roubini told the Datum Economic Forum 2013 here on March 1.

Roubini, also known in the media as “Dr Doom” for his consistently pessimistic economic outlook, gave his prediction today amid previous warnings by names such as veteran statesman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and former police chief Tan Sri Musa Hassan that Malaysia will descend into political and economic chaos should PR win the next polls.

“I would say whatever the result is going to be, this country has shown institutional and political stability.

“Investors recognised that, and therefore as long as there is a democratic process, as long as there’ll be policy clarity after those elections, it’s certainly going to be positive,” he said.

The PKR-DAP-PAS opposition parties had won 82 out of 222 federal seats in Parliament and four states in Election 2008, denying the BN their traditional two-thirds supermajority.

The landmark win has boosted the opposition bloc in their bid to topple the BN and form the next federal government.

Malaysia is expected to go to polls in the next few weeks.

Analysts have said the possibility for a regime change has emerged for the first time ever since the country’s independence in 1957.
