Public best judge of comments
By: Jeffrey Chew, Special Assistant to the Chief Minister of Penang
WITH reference to “Judge CM Lim on his record” (April 13), I wish to reiterate that the writer is continuing his barrage of critical comments based on baseless observations. Although he is entitled to his comments, I believe he should focus on what is best for Penang. After all, asking the present government to give credit to the past government clearly shows that he has a short-term memory that it was the rakyat that was instrumental in bringing progress to the state and not solely residual efforts from the past government.
Therefore, I hope the writer will take this important note to heart and allow the present government to govern and create a good environment for progress to happen. The writer’s comments are fast portraying himself as an apologist for BN. After all, he seems to know so much but yet he continues to shy away from giving constructive comments to further improve. Hence, his choice of writing to the press points me to the fact that he has misguided intentions. I wish to reiterate that the Penang government has been given the mandate to govern the state to the best of its best ability.
The writer has spent a lot of time highlighting old issues which are fast becoming trivial. The public will have to make their judgment as to whether his comments are valid or otherwise. I wish the writer all the best for his own version of pursuit of excellence and hope Penangites and the rakyat as a whole will see the true value of the comments. Therefore, I have decided not to further respond to his BN laced comments.
