B.N attack Zaid for not being 'local boy'

Why is B.N emphasizing on Zaid being not a 'local boy' and therefore not a suitable candidate.? Are B.N so bereft of issues that they can resort to such parochialism? Is this such a necessary criteria for a person to reside in that area before he can serve his constituency properly?Not in the case of Parliamentarians.A good member of Parliament is able to articulate in Parliament vital national issues and certainly not issues only confine to his own constituent.

Lim Guan Eng is not from Penang but having being elected in a penang Constituency and subsequently being made Chief minister of Penang has now in two years transformed the financial status of this island which have been suffering perpetual losses under the B.N and Gerakan administration.

So voters should not pay any heed to criticisms that zaid is not a 'local boy' and therefore not a suitable candidate.What is of paramount importance is the calibre of the candidate that is being elected to parliament.
