The Malaysian Insider

Mr LGE, it's not easy sitting on the CM seat, surrounded by politicians with ill intentions and personal agendas. As long as you have a clear conscience and I believe you have, go ahead and do what's deemed right. May God bless you with more strength , wisdom and support.

Bernama is carap.

Mr. Guan Eng, we believe and trust you. Just keep doing what you are doing now, the Penangites are the ones who will elect you over and over again. Let the umno and sedaq fools go to hell with their nonscensical statements and demands. We will again humilate them come next election. The people are with you.

LGE, make it a point to advertise this statistic of yours in all media, especially the melayu ones and the internet too.....we will be glad to help you spread the truth.....attached as many pictures too.

Same filthy lies are spread in all PR states to hoodwink the Malays.

In Perak, the lie was land were only given to non-Malays.

Print the statistics and throw it on their bloody faces.

LGE, don't you understand BN don't rely on facts and statistics? They just make it up when they need it!

All out efforts are out to destabilize the Penang PR Government. Even Koh Tsu Khoon is very very angry, but, he just cannot do anything. Whatever it is, PAS, has come out to clarify that there was no demolition order, but, more so a sandiwara played out by those responsible. Simple, start stalls in areas that are not alowed, then demolition done by their own kinds, after than protests and create hate towards the PR Government. The people are too smart for it. Malaysia has never seen politics stoop so low, congratulations to the Najib Administration. The Rakyat must be resolute to fight one last fight and ensure that the BN are routed in the next GE. We MUST Malaysians! Enough is enough. After Perak, Kelantan, Selangor, and now Penang and Kedah. Malaysians we must not entertain such politics anymore. We must vote for change, it cannot be worst than this, can it?

Illegal is illegal or does it mean illegal Malay stalls are not allowed be torn down by the opposition?

These kind of informations must be published with supporting facts so UMNO can't make false accusations.

By always going on such rampage, hate words and actions right after Friday meetings at mosques, Muslims continue to show the world that Islam is intolerant and condones hate, racism & murder.

The State Government should be firm and stern in its action to remove all obstacles, illegal make shift stalls and nuisance on the streets without bias, regardless of which Party members or race they belong to and shut the mouths of those racists, and please the public convenience!

Penangites are proud of the Island being the Pearl of the Orient, not a skid row, or dump yard!

I read the Bernama news, already know it is propaganda, especially when they said 3,000 people instead of the real 200 people led by Perkasa Ibrahim in an earlier new item. We won't believe you anymore, Bernama. Go fly kite.

Even your own TV news on Astro 502 also went bankrupt after only 1 year of operation and has to be rescued. What a big laugh. That is all government institutions can do, once on your own, go bankrupt pulak!

Lim is facing strong criticism from Umno, not MPs from PKR. These PKR MPs opposition are on different issues, don't try to spin, it doesn't work in here. MI, why are you lately become Bernama running stooge by publishing false news? You don’t vet them?

The word 'communist-minded' is so out, nowadays, this 'communist' word is no longer in vogue to describe negative politics, since the end of the cold war, it just goes to reflect the kind of people who spun it are out of tune and times with today’ reality. Go back to the 60s and 70s and do your whining there.

And treated like a dog?, Bernama says. I read almost all the articles there is here but never come across this phrase before. Don’t publish false news, Bernama. Be more credible, you are not the English version of Utusan, but will soon be, I supposed.

LGE, just do your job as CM and let these vengeful morons be. The people of Penang are all behind you.

Read Sun Tzu....

You have my support, Mr Lim GE. Just stand strong, berani kerana benar.

ACR, the only people hookwinking the malays are umno and cronies like you. UMNO has been lying to the country for 50 years. enough is enough. GE13, you are gone. your lies and all

Oh great, these troublemakers are now planning another protest on Feb 16 after failing to get a mass turnout last week.

Looks like these BN fellas are keen on creating racial tension to take over Penang. Tried that in Selangor, but failed.

Mr LGE & MPPP,
I will support your actions to summon and remove illegal stalls, eating places and hawking places as long as they have breach the rules, regulations and laws of the state irrespective of the race of the owners. I also vote with my money and will not support illegal hawkers especially those that are dirty, unhealthy, unsafe and causing traffic nuisance and I hope the majority of Penangite will do the same. The stalls should also display their licence openly.

I am tired of having to crawl through traffic jams even late at night and horn at cars and motorcyles that park indiscrimately, double park, park at yellow lines or anywhere that the lazy drivers or motorcylists can squeeze in.

Classic examples are
1. Jalan Air Itam near Dobby Ghaut
2. Macalister Road near Rangoon Road
3. New Lane
4. Parts of Chulia Street
5. Little India before Deepavali
6. Parts of Farlim during Pasar Malam
7. In front of Convent Light Street, St Xavier & Union Primary during lunch time
8. In front of Him Heang

MPPP please issue summons for illegal parking, tow away offending cars & motorcyles and raise much needed revenue for the state.

YAB Lim G.E., Dear comrade be what you are. Have they forgotten why you went to prison?

You shldn't take it lightly, publish detail for all to see. ungratefull runing dogs.

LGE, you have to look into cleaning house in the government civil service sector. I think there are a lot of BN sympathizers taking cues from BN to upset the fine work you have done to the state. They have no choice because it is black and white when comparing PR to BN rule. Those criticisms from within PR is another matter that have to be looked into. Are these little nobody trying to make a fame for themselves or is there a bigger conspiracy to topple the PR government.

Whatever, it is, the state must expose those individuals so that the rakyat can see for themselves. You must take the bull by its horn so that you can control the message. Ignoring it will means that the other side is correct because the rakyat did not have a chance to listen to your side.

BTW...how come no action taken against a foodstall that suddenly appeared recently right in front of the entrance/exit gate (although it is always closed) of the FRU base in Jalan Sempadan?? Isn't that a security area? How could the commandant of the FRU camp allow that??? Can other food traders start operating at the gates of other security bases/police stations??

As Wikipedia put it, citations needed.

Great figures to back up again.

It is good that every sensitive issue you made, are discussed with the iiner circle/malay partners, backed by figures and good reasons.

Plenty of time to impove on sensitive areas in these Penang (& coming Malaysia) transitional times

Meanwhile, enjoy.

Somehow in this country of ours there is this insidious mentality that is slowly growing like a cancer that if you do something illegal but if you belong to the right skin colour it makes you less likely to be prosecuted or corrective action taken against you. It makes some people act with impunity and some gutter politicians to exploit the issue.

I would like to believe that the local councils are impartial and do what they have to do to bring order and control in our streets and neighborhoods . Just imagine having semi permanent or permanent illegal hawking/stores springing up everywhere. But it is also the part of the local council's job to look into the grouses of illegal hawkers.

We see alot of people turning a small van into a mobile store to make a living these days as times are tough. The operators of these mobile units are quite neat and clean and they make sure rubbish is not thrown everywhere or left behind. They mainly cater for takeaways, occupies one parking lot and do cause a bit of traffic congestion with people stopping to buy. Most of them probably do not have a license to operate but it is better to "cari makan" this way rather then to go and rob.

The Rakyat already knew that UMNO is using dirty tactics all the time in so many instances.The Rakyat today is very smart compare in the sixties.The govt.has to listen to the Rakyath,to be honest,sincere,no discrimation among the races,cut down on corruption,reform MACC,PDRM,transperant,must walk the talk and etc,etc.

jsut do ur work well and nver trust those guys who i think are now on the bn govn side,,proablyt trying to bring down the present state govn this is the dirty work of our bn govn especially najib

In politics accusation is all that is needed. Many people have very little capacity for stepping back to see the accusation for what it is. To question an assertion requires some degree of intelligence and understanding and clarity of thoughts. Since very few have this capacity many will believe the accusation and react accordingly.

One suggestion, if I may. The difference between an illegal stall and a legal stall is just a piece of paper. I know of some old folks or widower or divorcee who do not have much education who are hawkers and they just don't know how to go about it or who to approach for help.

If your government is a compassionate one don't just kept brandishing the stick with warning. Educate them and help them run their business. Help them to get the necessary license.

Many of these hawkers are not criminals. They are just ordinary folks trying to make do. Help them have a fair go at life.

It is expected. UMNO watching you like a hawk in everything you do. BUT the trouble is your own partners attacking you too!! Stand your ground. More people are with you ... and they are the people of Penang who voted you in !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way to go Mr. LGE! Please expose more of BN's dirty jobs to the world.....

Yes, Guan Eng , we are with you. Perhaps, at times, we need a little of EQ to handle these disgruntled lot. To air and challenge you in public is not going to help. LGB said it right, the PKR dissenters must look at the big picture, the future of the Nation. Anwar is in need you start to rock the boat/

News on demolition of Malay stalls are not really useful in nation building. Somehow it implies that the state DAP government is anti Malay. This will tend to create animosity among races and contrary to 1Malaysia. I do hope this is not true as LGE as been in the forefront fighting for fairness for Malays in the past. I am sure his adminstration is trying to improve the hawkers situation by controlling the locations where they can conduct business and not in a topsy turvy manner like the past (dont care attitude by previous admin ) whch leads to hygiene and traffic snarl matters.
LGE, please release the statistics and raional behind those demolition so that you are tranparent in your government.

LGE, when you govenrn with clear conscience, Almighty God's hand is upon you and for you. And when He is for you who can be against you. The citizens of Penang know is evil in their sight. Arise up children of Almighty God and intercede for LGE because his government is the righteous one put there by Almighty God.

My dear bsa, you are blessed to have him to govern Penang if you are from Penang. Otherwise don't open your dirty mouth. Please contact Listering for free mouth cleansing lotion.

BN is like and is cancer to the nation of Malaysia. They should be demolished too.

YAB Lim,you are the first chief minister in office without all the valueless titles.Unlike many cheapskate politicians including the idiotic Nasir 'Sifar' who have already tarnished to the longkang on all datukship title holders with his dirty and filthy mouth.The street mob and rascals initiated by the most racist poltical party last friday only reflected how low class and dirty a section of the population in this country.These people refused to listen and look at facts and figures.They have very ugly agenda behind them.Their action only served to remind us who were really behind the May 13 incident 41 years ago.Whatever it is.The people in Malaysia particularly the Penangites are very discerning.They know who are the culprits.We support you.Be firm and strong and continue to do your best.Bravo.

What is the problem if the stall is illegal in the first place?

LGE, How about the food court that at corner of Jelutong Highway. It cause illegal parking at the road side. And is very dangerous as that is corner. That food court is approved by your gov. And the food stall at the airport road to Bukit Jambul. Every morning, there is a lot of car parking at the main road side. And some, they park quite outside, is very dangerous, cause that one of the main road to airport. and the junction at the traffic light of Sg Ara, Jalan Tengah and Airport road. The malay food stall at the corner also make illegal parking at the corner of the traffice light. There is no action taken at these few food stall which may cause accident. BUT, MPPP went n demolish the food stall and kopitiam inside Sungai Ara, which some people complaint that it cause traffic jam. Traffic jam and accident, which is more dangerous and serious?

It is not the matter of how many stall you demolished, as long as all hawkers follow local government regulation, they should be given the license. If current Penang government is doing the right thing and follow the rules, there should be fair enough for all...don't confuse by those demonstrators...pls explain to the people and educate/help the hawkers if they do not know how to get the license

No big deal when truly great leaders (defined in terms of humble & sacrificial service) are criticised by people with small minds.

Do what is right.

Stay focused.

Rakyat will respect and support those who have integrity, play fair and serve them well.
