• Kah Choon did the right thing

Lee Kah Choon quit Gerakan has to be commended for it is a brave move. He was obviously challenged by Gerakan and Barisan Nasional to either quit his new post or quit Gerakan. And quit Gerakan he did! *Applause*

Lim Guan Eng and co. has big plans for Penang. If Lee Kah Choon’s contribution is sincere, I don’t see why parties cannot accept opposition people. After all, isn’t the point of standing for election an attempt to serve the rakyat? Following his decision to quit Gerakan, that’s exactly what he said in his response to Gerakan and Barisan Nasional show cause threat: to help and serve the rakyat. Penang’s big plans can use a few more good men and women. Lee Kah Choon’s addition is a welcomed one I believe.

All said and done with Lee Kah Choon, I wish to highlight how pathetic Gerakan and Barisan Nasional pounced all over the issue and politicised it to the hilt. I cannot say for sure how Lee Kah Choon can perform in his duties yet. Only time will tell. But what you can immediately be sure about is Barisan Nasional, even Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, is trying to paint Lee Kah Choon as a traitor moving to greener pastures for personal gain. And it is also obvious that Barisan Nasional may never be able to work with opposition for the good of Malaysia. Definitely not for Penang anyway.
