Where is BN’s Menteri Besar designate and Shadow Cabinet in the 4 PR States?

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak should practice what he preaches instead of double-standards by directing BN in Kedah, Kelantan, Penang and Selangor to present a shadow EXCO if BN is committed to recapture power in those states. In many respects BN is worse than PR, in that BN not only does not have a shadow cabinet in the PR states but have not even appointed the BN Menteri Besar candidate in Selangor, Kelantan and Kedah.

Despite BN’s lies that PR has no Prime Minister designate, PR has unanimously agreed on Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as the next Prime Minister of Malaysia. PR had adopted a unique formula of a shadow cabinet by appointing 3 persons respectively from each PR party(PAS, DAP and PKR) for every Ministerial portfolio. This demonstrates that PR leaders are not crazy for political posts but are hungry in policies that benefit the people. Such new political culture by PR of people-centric policies that work contrast with the BN’s personality driven cult that enriches cronies.

DAP strongly disagrees that abolishing tolls will spell the end of Bursa Malaysia as most of the concessionaires are public-listed companies. Again Najib has revealed that he subconsciously is more concerned about the fate of the few wealthy public listed companies than the livelihood if 28 million ordinary Malaysians.

Such threats by the Prime Minister that abolishing tolls such as the North-South Highway toll will lead to the collapse of Bursa is just simply wrong. How can the Bursa collapse when PLUS was taken private last year and is not even listed on Bursa Malaysia? Clearly such threats sound not only ridiculous but irresponsible when it comes from a Prime Minister.
