Opening Speech By Penang Chief Minister And DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng At The Official Launch Of The DAP Air Putih KADUN General Elections Operation Center In Air Putih, Penang On 31.3.3013.<\/p>\n
BN Penang Chairman Teng Chang Yeow\u2019s determination to run away from his own seat of Padang Kota is as clear as day following his refusal to follow up on his own challenge to face-off with me in the coming general elections. By setting new ridiculous conditions before contesting against me, Teng is clearly eating back his words of \u201cyou must pick up from where you fall\u201d and avoid a direct contest in Padang Kota.<\/p>\n
Such promise of \u201cyou must pick up where you fall\u201d is meaningless if Teng refuses to show courage and \u2018leadership by example\u2019 by recontesting in his old seat of Padang Kota but instead follow UMNO\u2019s dictates of where he can or can not go. Everyone knows that Teng as Penang BN Chairman is not Gerakan\u2019s first choice as he is neither Gerakan President nor Penang Gerakan Chairman, but UMNO\u2019s and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak\u2019s choice.<\/p>\n
I fail to understand how my standing in a parliament seat will affect the contest between both of us in a state seat. Neither do the people understand why Teng can not go back to his old seat of Padang Kota, which should be advantageous to Teng as I am not asking him to come to my seat in Air Putih. Penang DAP Chair and Padang Kota Assemblyman Chow Kon Yeow has kindly agreed to exchange Padang Kota with Air Putih to allow this contest between top PR and BN Penang leaders to proceed.<\/p>\n
This contest is offering the people clear choices \u2013 whether to revert back to UMNO and BN\u2019s choice of a government led by cronies or choose a people-centric government for the people by the people and of the people. This is also about two governing policies between one that condones corruption and another that believes that a clean government based on Competency, Accountability and Transparency can outperform a
\ncorrupt one.<\/p>\n
Teng\u2019s setting ridiculous conditions such as I can not contest a parliamentary seat but only a state seat, appears to be a trap to prevent me from playing my national role as the DAP national leader to lead my party and all Malaysians outside Penang. Teng has also quickly forgotten or is trying to distort the fact that it was he himself that had thrown down the gauntlet to challenge me.<\/p>\n
I do not see how my contesting in both a parliament or state seat will make any difference to both of us contesting in Padang Kota. However to show my sincerity in wanting to let this contest happen in Padang Kota and not permit Teng to weasel out of his own challenge to me, I am making one final concession to him.<\/p>\n
I will contest only one state seat if Teng Chang Yeow does not run away but recontest Padang Kota, which he previously held for 3 terms from 1995-2008. If Teng agrees to stand in his old seat of Padang Kota, I will convey to the DAP top leadership that I will not stand for Parliament, as is required of me as DAP Secretary-General.<\/p>\n
This general elections is crucial because it is about letting the people make clear choices. Therefore let this contest is about which party can provide better ideas and superior policies as well as the idealism, principles and values that can prepare a better future for
\nPenang. <\/p>\n
I always believe that a leader must lead from the front and not from behind. The choice is very clear whether the people of Penang wants a Chief Minister to lead the people from the front or one who leads from behind UMNO.<\/p>\n
Should Teng refuse to stand in Padang Kota then I would not waste any more time with him because he has been exposed as a puppet of UMNO who is more interested in playing childish political games. <\/p>\n
The next general elections is about what type of future of Penang do we want our young to live in. PR believes in a Penang that is cleaner, greener, safer and healthier. Let the people of Penang decide whether PR has the policies and principles as well as possess the courage and the idealism to prepare the future for our young and the young for the
\nfuture.<\/p>\n

\nTeks ucapan Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang bagi perasmian pusat operasi pilihanraya DAP KADUN Air Putih pada 31 March 2013:<\/p>\n
Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Hendaklah Memimpin Rakyat Dari Depan Dan Bukannya Dari Belakang UMNO \u2013 Saya Akan Bertanding Hanya Satu Kerusi Negeri Sekiranya Teng Chang Yeow Tidak Melarikan Diri Tetapi Bertanding Semula Di Padang Kota, Yang Dia Pegang Untuk Tiga Penggal Dari 1995-2008.<\/strong><\/p>\n Keputusan Pengerusi BN Pulau Pinang Teng Chang Yeow untuk melarikan diri daripada kerusinya sendiri di Padang Kota sangat jelas selepas hari dia menolak untuk membuat susulan terhadap cabarannya sendiri untuk berdepan dengan saya di dalam pilihan raya umum akan datang. Dengan menetapkan syarat mengarut yang baru sebelum bertanding dengan saya, Teng jelas terpaksa menelan kembali kata-katanya \u201cbangkit dari tempat anda jatuh\u201d dan mengelak pertandingan terus di Padang Kota.<\/p>\n Janji untuk \u201cbangkit dari tempat dia jatuh\u201d tidak mempunyai makna sekiranya Teng menolak untuk menunjukkan keberanian dan \u2018kepimpinan melalui teladan\u2019 dengan bertanding semula di kerusi lamanya Padang Kota tetapi memilih untuk mengikut telunjuk UMNO di mana boleh dan di mana tidak untuk bertanding. Semua orang tahu Teng sebagai Pengerusi BN Pulau Pinang bukan pilihan utama Gerakan dan dia bukanlah Presiden Gerakan atau Pengerusi Gerakan Pulau Pinang, tetapi pilihan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak dan UMNO.<\/p>\n Saya gagal untuk memahami bagaimana sekiranya saya bertanding untuk kerusi Parlimen akan memberikan kesan kepada pertandingan antara kita berdua. Rakyat di Padang Kota juga tidak faham mengapa Teng tidak boleh kembali ke kerusi lamanya Padang Kota, yang sepatutnya memberikan kelebihan kepada Teng memandangkan saya bukannya memintanya untuk bertanding di kerusi saya di Air Putih. Pengerusi DAP Pulau Pinang dan ADUN Padang Kota, Chow Kon Yeow telah bersetuju untuk menukar Padang Kota dengan Air Putih bagi membolehkan pertandingan antara pemimpin tinggi PR dan BN Pulau Pinang diteruskan.<\/p>\n Pertandingan ini memberikan rakyat pilihan yang jelas \u2013 sama ada untuk kembali kepada kerajaan pilihan UMNO dan BN yang akan diperintah oleh kroni atau kerajaan rakyat, untuk rakyat dari rakyat. Ini juga berkenaan dua dasar pentadboran antara yang membiarkan korupsi dan dasar yang percaya bahawa kerajaan yang bersih berdasarkan Kecekapan, Akauntabiliti dan Ketelusan boleh menjadi lebih baik berbanding yang korup.<\/p>\n Teng menetapkan syarat mengarut seperti saya tidak boleh bertanding kerusi parlimen dan hanya boleh bertanding kerusi negeri, kelihatan seperti perangkap untuk menghalang saya daripada memainkan peranan nasional sebagai pemimpin nasional DAP untuk memimpin parti saya dan seluruh rakyat Malaysia di luar Pulau Pinang. Teng juga begitu cepat lupa atau cuba menyelewengkan fakta bahawa dia sebenarnya yang mencabar saya.<\/p>\n Saya tidak melihat bagaimana bertanding di kedua-dua kerusi parlimen dan negeri akan memberikan kesan kepada kedua-dua kita yang bertanding di Padang Kota. Bagaimanapun, untuk menunjukkan keikhlasan saya untuk melihat pertandingan ini terlaksana di Padang Kota dan tidak memberikan ruang Teng untuk lari daripada cabarannya sendiri kepada saya, saya akan membuat satu kompromi terakhir kepadanya.<\/p>\n Saya akan bertanding hanya kerusi negeri sekiranya Teng Chang Yeow tidak melarikan diri tetapi bertanding semula di Padang Kota, yang beliau pegang untuk 3 penggal dari 1995-2008. Sekiranya Teng bersetuju untuk bertanding di kerusi lamanya Padang Kota, saya akan menyampaikan kepada kepimpinan tertinggi DAP bahawa saya tidak akan bertanding untuk kerusi Parlimen, seperti mana yang diperlukan kerana saya merupakan Setiausaha Agung DAP.<\/p>\n Pilihan Raya umum kali ini amat penting kerana ia berkenaan membenarkan rakyat membuat pilihan jelas. Oleh itu biarlah persaingan ini adalah tentang parti mana yang dapat memberikan idea yang lebih baik dan dasar yang lebih hebat serta idealisme, prinsip dan nilai yang dapat menyediakan masa depan yang lebih baik untuk Pulau Pinang.<\/p>\n Saya sentiasa percaya bahawa pemimpin mesti memimpin dari depan dan bukannya dari belakang. Pilihan ini jelas sama ada rakyat Pulau Pinang mahukan Ketua Menteri yang memimpin rakyat dari depan atau yang memimpin mereka dari belakang UMNO.<\/p>\n Sekiranya Teng menolak untuk bertanding di Padang Kota maka saya tidak akan membuang masa melayannya memandangkan telah terbongkar bahawa dia hanyalah boneka UMNO yang lebih berminat bermain politik kebudak-budakan.<\/p>\n Pilihan raya umum seterusnya adalah tentang masa depan yang bagaimana Pulau Pinang mahukan buat generasi muda. PR percaya kepada Pulau Pinang yang bersih, lebih hijau, selamat dan sihat. Biar rakyat Pulau Pinang membuat keputusan sama ada PR mempunyai dasar dan prinsip serta memiliki keberanian dan idealisme untuk menyediakan masa depan baik buat anak-anak muda kita.<\/p>\n LIM GUAN
