Najib's Penang Gambit or Gamble?

Sometimes, we wonder.

How much do these Penang voters really dislike Najib?

The Gamble or Gambit for Penang?
To me, the answer is an almost clear neutral.

The Penang folks have nothing really against PM Najib.

They are really against bringing back the almost dead Gerakan and its already dead MCA ally and the unashamed UMNO Malay leadership sans the interests of the hearts of the Penang folks.

So, whatever promises Najib makes, they will possibly take it with a sneer of disbelief as so far none of what Najib has said has come to fruition except for the Psy concert.

The offence or defense?
As the young is sought by Najib as they represent a formidable voting bloc, the younger Y  generation who are first time or second time voters will definitely see that whatever goodies brought over in this electioneering period be it the low-value upgrading of Han Chiang to a university college, it will not have any direct effect on them as they are already victims of a national system that is fast breaking down and plummeting to lower depths in almost all dimensions.

Then, they are quite happy with the current Guan Eng-led government which has administered quite fairly amongst all ethnic groups and transparently as well.

To me, Penang will be a broken dream once more for PM Najib with a fragmented Malay voting bloc (3 ways) and an UMNO in apparently deep, treacherous disarray.

PSY-Millions Gone in just Four Dances

Psy Dancing a Storm at Han Chiang College
I guess by 12.30 p.m today, it was all over.

Imagine 15 minutes and a purported RM 2 million was gone with the wind!

Psy pranced along doing 4 dances with one as an encore of the famous pony dance.

Hot Malaysian Cash!
It was blisteringly hot but entertained he did.

No one felt let down by this global sensation!

Najib's play to the gallery to win BN' s support at the show did not go down well with the audience with some loud  resounding "No"s to his call to support BN.

What a day for Najib.

On hindsight, was the Psy invitation move a faux pas for Najib?
