penang bridge and monorail approved














Dr M on a trail of criticisms of the current PM and his administration. There must be something brewing which cause our former PM to air his views whenever he gets his chance to say it. Every one is not an angel. Or a saint. Each may have his own weaknesses. But I respect a leader who can make his own decisions no matter what others say. The current PM has lost his vision. On one hand he wants to be the people's champion right through the poor folks but on the other hand he wants every one to toe the line no matter what. In this context I say he has lost his direction. Once you make a decision and awarded a contract, one has to stick to it. Otherwise one has to pay for breach of contract. Dr M was frustrated that his projects agreed upon during his tenure had been cancelled or sidelined. A gentleman's agreement must be carried out not when one assumed the base of power and forgot about that agreement. AAB can't give the reasons that the people are against it. I view it as an excuse to pay for the contractor's dilemma for breach of contract by the government(bridge project) I doubt the rakyat want to cancel the project not the people of Johore. Now he has approved the Penang 2nd bridge and monorail - his home state. Anything different with all the prime ministers of the country? Hardly. Now Johore has no second bridge but Penang has one. Losses for Johore winnings for Penang. The AAB appeased the Johoreans by the Southern Johore Economic Project costing $15 billion to develop before he approved the Penang Bridge and monorail. In a way he had thought it through while on holidays in Australia with his family. But Dr M wont keep quiet. He has to let the people know what he thinks and why certain projects of his shouldnt be cancelled and channelled to others. I will sit and read more news from Dr M which I think it is good that the rakyat got to know what's happening in the country.

Malaysia......is winking at me
