PDC akan menjadi agensi pelaksana untuk Tabung Rumah Mampu Milik sebanyak RM500 juta untuk bina rumah mampu milik di Seberang Perai dan Pulau Pinang.

Jumlah RM500 juta merupakan jumlah yang paling besar diperuntukkan oleh mana-mana kerajaan negeri di Malaysia untuk membina rumah mampu milik. Jumlah wang ini diperolehi daripada pengswastaan Bayan Mutiara secara tender terbuka. Di bawah pentadbiran lama RM600-800 juta wang rakyat dicadangkan dibelanjakan untuk memindahkan pusat pentadbiran baru daripada Komtar ke Bayan Mutiara. Kerajaan baru Pakatan Rakyat telah menolak cadangan ini dan menggantikan dengan cadangan pengswastaan yang tidak perlu membelanjakan wang besar sebalik menambahkan sumber kewangan agar kerajaan negeri boleh menjalankan projek sosial seperti membina rumah mampu milik.

Penang hopes that the RM4 billion high-tech and solar energy investment by Ibiden and Robert Bosch Solar will be included in the 2011 December investment figures. So whilst the statement made by International Trade and Industry Deputy Minister Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir of a drop in investment compared to last year is correct, the final analysis can only be made when the December investment figure are tabulated.

In May 2011, the Penang State Government announced that Penang is targeting to achieve RM6.1 billion investments for 2011. Penang recorded its highest ever investment figures of RM 12.2 billion in 2010 topping the investment charts for the first time in history in Malaysia. A lower figure has been set to attract high value-added, high-tech, knowledge based companies that engender high-income, technology transfer and innovative industries.

Kerajaan Persekutuan Bermain Politik Dengan Tidak Salurkan Semua Projek Pembangunan Kepada Pejabat Daerah Negeri Tetapi Kepada Pejabat Pembangunan Negeri Persekutuan

Published on January 5, 2012, 11:38 am in Penang. 0 Comments

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.

Speech By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng During The Penang Soroptimists Ladies Annual Dinner For Charity In The E&O Hotel In Penang on 5.11.2011.

I am pleased to be at the “Soroptimist” Penang Dinner for Charity. Soroptimist are `ladies at their best, doing their best.’ In Penang we are unique. Not only do we have many capable ladies at their best and doing their best, we are different in that our ladies’ achievements are appreciated by the men in Penang.

Because men appreciate our women, that is the reason why there are so many women holding top state government positions. Both the President of both the Penang Island Municipal Council and the Seberang Perai Municipal Council are women, creating history as the first women local government presidents in Peninsular Malaysia.

UMNO Should Act Against Those Trying To Wreck The Life Of My Young Son With Cruel And Barbaric Lies Just To Finish Me Off Politically To Prove That UMNO Is Not A 3D Party That Employs Desperate Dangerous And Dirty Tactics.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak had declared during the Gerakan National Delegates Conference two days ago that BN had not given up on Penang and will go all out to recapture the state from Pakatan Rakyat. Following those Najib’s declaration of intent, we see pro-UMNO blogs and some UMNO leaders carrying out a serial campaign in the internet to systematically not only character assasinate me but also cruelly dragging in my young 16 year old son with their lies.

Speech By Penang Chief Minister DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng During The DAP Penang Political Rereat In Pulau Jerejak On 15.10.2011

If Buddhist bodies are now used by the BN-controlled media to run down the PR Penang state government, will Islamic mosques be the next tool used by the BN-controlled media?

The Penang state government reminds the BN-controlled media to stop playing their dangerous games of exploiting construction by religious bodies to hit out at the Penang PR state government for political gain. We are concerned at certain news reports by some BN-controlled media, slanted in such a way as to give the impression that construction work done by these legally registered religious bodies as similar to that done by irresponsible private developers.
