Confirmation By Malaysian Institute of Economic Research (MIER) That Malaysia Will Go Bankrupt By 2019 With Debt To GDP Ratio Of 100% Demonstrates The Importance Of Change Of Government At The Next General Elections For PR To Save Malaysia From Bankruptcy
Malaysia will become a fully indebted nation before the end of the decade at the current rate of massive borrowing and irresponsible spending by the BN Government.
The Federal government debt to GDP (Gross Domestic Product) ratio has increased yearly from 53.1% in 2010, 53.8% in 2011 and 54.8% in 2012. This is extremely alarming and nearly touching the national debt ceiling of 55%.

Opening Speech By DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng During The DAP National Conference In Shah Alam, Selangor On 8 January 2012.
THE MALAYSIAN DREAM OF CHANGE, MODERATION AND HOPE
After nearly 4 years since the political tsunami of 8 March 2008, we now stand on the horizon of a General Election that is set to become the most critical General Election in the history of Malaysia.
For the first time, we will be contesting as part of a grand coalition called Pakatan Rakyat. For the first time, we will be contesting not merely to deny Barisan Nasional’s two-thirds majority but to win power. For the first time, Malaysians will have an alternative that is united, viable and proven.

Kenyataan Akhbar Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng di Komtar, George Town Pada 4.1.2012
Adalah dikesali bahawa kerajaan Persekutuan bermain politik dengan wang rakyat dengan tidak salurkan semua projek pembangunan kepada pejabat daerah negeri tetapi diberikan kepada Pejabat Pembangunan Negeri Persekutuan(PPNP). Pemberian wang kepada PPNP bercanggah dengan semangat dan prinsip demokrasi kerana PPNP yang dikuasai oleh BN tidak dipilih oleh rakyat sebaliknya BN ditolak oleh rakyat pada pilihanraya besar 2008.
Bukan sahaja PR telah menangi majority 2/3 dengan 29 daripada 40 buah kerusi negeri tetapi juga menang 11 daripada 13 buah kerusi Parlimen di Pulau Pinang. Jelas sekali wang sumbangan oleh Pulau Pinang dalam bentuk cukai pendapatan dan kastan tidak diberikan balik kepada rakyat Pulau Pinag. Sebaliknya semua wang sumbangan dikuasai penuh oleh BN sungguhpun telahpun ditolak peringkat negeri dan Parlimen oleh rakyat Pulau Pinang.

2012 New Year Message By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Komtar, George Town On 31 December 2011.
Let Us Embrace A Future Of A Cleaner, Greener & Safer Penang That Rewards Those Who Works Hard, Works Honestly And Works Smart.
For nearly 225 years since Penang first appeared on the world map, the fortunes of Penang has risen and fallen. Penang has prospered when we realise that for a state without any natural resources, we need to rely our human resources and develop human talent. Penang has declined when we forget that it is the energy, expertise and entrepreneurship of our people that makes Penang so unique.
