Najib idiotic excuse to deny Malaysian of their democratic rights!

Penang, the state government announced that it has moved to restore local government elections.

The local election will involve two municipal councils - the Municipal Council of Penang Island (MPPP) and Municipal Council of Seberang Perai (MPSP).

Chief minister Lim Guan Eng said he had sent a letter to Election Commission (EC) chief Abdul Aziz Yusof two days ago asking the commission to conduct election for both local councils.

However our "beloved" Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak said it was unnecessary to hold local government elections as it would cause too much politicking.

The premier added that those vying for a spot on local councils will be too busy campaigning for their posts, rather than performing their roles effectively.

It has been over 40 years since the government outlawed local council elections through the Local Government Act 1976.

Local polls were suspended following the declaration of emergency on Sept 3, 1964, which remains in force.
In a rebuttal, Penang CM, Lim Guan Eng said that this (local election) is an accepted practice worldwide as out of 192 countries, the third vote is practiced in 101 countries.

"If they can successfully do this even in Africa, why can't we do the same here?"

Even if it has not been carried out for the past 45 years, the excuse given by the Election Commission (EC) that it has no experience of holding the local government elections and hence is not sure about it, is insane," Lim said at a press conference."

Don't use such lame and shallow excuses and this matter should be addressed in a mature manner."

Perhaps the EC can look to the other countries which have been carrying out the local government election for years for advice."

We should give the people back their third vote."Lim said contrary to Najib's belief that it would lead to politicking, local government elections would force the municipal councillors to work harder for the people as their survival would no longer be via political appointments but being elected by the people.

I think Najib is either the dumbest PM yet or he has a hidden agenda!

The truth is that the current situation (without local election) is actually causing more politicking, corruption and inefficiency.

Simple facts!
1. A person will do all they can to please their pay master/boss /the person with the power to hire or fire them!

2. So who is the Boss?!?
Is it the "rakyat" or the corrupt UMNO cronies!??

3. Is Najib so dumb that he cannot understand this simple logic?
Or does he have an ulterior motive?
