A Bold and Innovative Paradigm

Looking at what the Chief Minister for Penang, Lim Guan Eng has done thus far, I truely feel that Penang is poised to be the model state for other states in Malaysia, be it BN or PR controlled, to emulate for its openness and inclusion attitudes in recruiting talents and capable leaders regardless of ethnicity and political backgrounds.

I do not think that it is ethically and morally wrong for a Gerakan party leader or member to join any ruling government to further champion his/her aspirations to service its rakyat and Malaysia.

It would be a waste of natural resources and in this case the human resources ifwe choose to abandone a knowledgeable and competent leader from opposingparties because of differences in political ideologies.

If both parties were to agree on a common goal and dream for the betterment of the our beloved nation as a whole, then different party members having different politics ideologies should not be a deterrent for them to serve the people if their genuine and faithful intention were for the general well beings of our country.

If Datok Lee Kah Choon wish to solve his problem by avoiding being criticised and rebuked by his party and BN, the best solution is to surrender his membership with Gerakan and I believe that will shut all the big mouths his critics have on him and to avoid being further harrassed and poison-pened, then stay cleared of any political parties by declaring yourself a freelance non-partisan individual.

A very successful non-partisan leader Datok Lee Lam Thye, formerly from DAP is a good example of a politician-turned non-partisan yet is now serving under the flagship of BN government, therefore I do not see any unjustification or irregularities in Lee Kah Choon's appointment to the PDC and InvestPenang.

It seems that Lee Kah Choon's appointment to the above two posts appears to be a bitter pill to be swallowed particularly by the Gerakan Dr Lim Keng Yikand Dr Koh Tsu Koon, yet that medicine is pretty good for schizophrenia and hysteria, at least it would calm down your nerves before you go haywire and cause havoc within the party and spread to BN coalition .
