Tourism exco Danny Law Heng Kiang really needs to improve
I don’t know if you watched the highly entertaining online live telecast of the Penang state assembly session on Monday but I did and could not help but cringe when the tourism exco and Batu Lanchang assemblyman Danny Law stood up to read his answer to a question on tourism.
It was by far the most painful thing to watch of the whole three-hour session in the afternoon (ya, ya, ya, I wasted 3 hours on the state assembly). Danny was stammering and fumbling and made million mistakes like stating that there were 50 million people who turned up at the recent Bon Odori event last weekend.
The other excos carried themselves pretty well despite several attempts by the Opposition to create some unwanted tensions between them such as questioning why those who go to Korea on the working trip are all from DAP and none from PKR.
The PKR assemblyman with the squeeky voice and an exco, Abdul Malik, managed to take that quite well by stating that when it comes to the Pakatan Rakyat government, there are no such things as choosing people for certain duties based on party.
“If we find YB from Seberang Jaya (an Umno assemblyman) have the networks or abilities for certain things, we also will not hesitate to invite YB along,” he said, effectively shutting the YB in question up.
Of course, the Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng played his part very well. In fact, I am very impressed with the way he handled the questions and how he deflected any attempts by the Opposition to make DAP look bad. Damn good, I tell you. My respect, Chief Minister.
Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon could not have held a candle to the performance you put up!
Well, Tuesday is another day and it will probably be another interesting session to follow. If you find yourself free with nothing better to do, go on over here to watch the live telecast of the Penang state assembly. You will get to see your elected representative at work and know who you have voted to represent you!
