UMNO's Strategy to destabilise Pakataan Penang

Which is more serious? A school prinicipal making a blatant racial derogatory statement which was made in a public assembly or a mosque sermon made by a iman beseeching God to convert Lim GuanEng to be a muslim?

Yet in the eyes of the police which immediately formed a special team to investigate the mosque sermon allegations , a iman making a plea to God to effect a divine intervention to convert Lim Guan Eng was more of a serious offence.Hardly a single day after Penang UMNO chief Hamidi made the allegations, hell broke loose. Even the P.M commented that the police should investigate the matter.

At the same time it took almost one week for the DPM ,Muhyiddin to suggest the formation of a task force to investigate whether indeed the Principal of the school did make a derogatory statement .Why do we need a task force when the principal made the racial slur in front of an audience of a few hundred and subsequently tried to make restitution by making an apology to all the students.in the schools?.All the DPM had to confirm the allegations was to seek verification from the teachers who were present in the assembly to find out the truth. Once again the DPM has been found to be incompetent and once again this is confirmation that he is not equip to be our next P.M.

Once again we can see UMNO's attempt to destabilise the Pakatan Rakyat 's govt of Penang but ironically its attempt this time has alienated the very people it seek to win support. The malays in Penang has now come to the realisation that a non -malay Chief Minister can act fairly towards the malay community and that they do not have to rely on UMNO to be their sole protector of their race and religion..

In its first term , the Pakatan govt has given more funds for mosques and religious schools than the previous administration had ever given to the muslim community.. Although public tenders were made for state govt contracts, more bumi contractors were able to secure more contracts on a competitive basis. This process eliminated commision for middleman politicians and was thus a savings for the contractors and the govt.

Ultimately, UMNO must realised the futility in its efforts to destablise the Pakatan Rakyat states. It must come to its senses that the people will not allow or tolerate cosmetic changes.Its only option is to effect total changes in its governance or face total oblivion in the next election.
