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.
