Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister And DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng In Komtar, George Town On 2.4.2013.<\/p>\n
No Matter How Clever Teng Chang Yeow Is In Playing His Games Of Political Deception, He Can Not Run Away From The Fact That He Sees Himself As UMNO\u2019s Representative And Not The People\u2019s Representative, Which Is Contrary To The Principle That The Penang Chief Minister Must Lead The People From The Front And Not From Behind UMNO.<\/strong><\/p>\n I must confess that have I been deceived by BN Penang Chairman Teng Chang Yeow in his political games of challenging me to a contest between both of us in Padang Kota . Clearly Teng\u2019s statements yesterday showed that he had no intention of honouring his challenge to me. This is despite the fact that I had accepted his ridiculous condition that I contest only a state seat and give up contesting a parliamentary seat, as is required of me as DAP Secretary-General leading my party nationally.<\/p>\n There were 3 reasons why I was drawn into Teng\u2019s political deception. One he had issued the challenge to me first. If he now denies it, why did he set the ridiculous condition that I contest only a state seat, which I had immediately accepted. For Teng to claim that he had not issued the challenge first shows he lacks even the courage to admit that.<\/p>\n Two, Teng had had declared previously that \u201cyou must pick up from where you fall\u201d, which can only mean that he would recontest Padang Kota. For him to say that he meant picking himself up in Penang and not Padang Kota, is dishonest as he might as well say picking himself up from planet Earth.<\/p>\n Third, he had announced that he would be a different leader from his predecessor Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon and was willing to stand up to UMNO. By running away from contesting his own seat of Padang Kota that he had held for 3 terms from 1995-2008, shows that he is only willing to stand behind UMNO.<\/p>\n No matter how clever Teng is in playing his games of political deception, he can not run away from the fact that he sees himself as UMNO\u2019s representative and not the people\u2019s representative, which is contrary to the principle that the Penang Chief Minister must lead the people from the front and not from behind UMNO.<\/p>\n By leaving my seat of Air Putih picking Teng\u2019s old seat of Padang Kota, I am giving his a favourable advantage. Padang Kota was won by DAP with the lowest majority of 1,661 votes amongst all the 19 state seats won by DAP in Penang in 2008. And yet despite DAP winning this seat by the smallest majority, he dare not recontest his old seat back.<\/p>\n I had hoped that this contest between us would offer 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 corrupt one.<\/p>\n I was wrong in thinking that Teng would be a different leader from Koh Tsu Koon. In fact he is worse than Koh because Koh at least dared to recontest his state seat. As such I would no longer entertain Teng\u2019s political games. Even though I have been tricked by Teng\u2019s political deception, at least there is a silver lining in that Teng\u2019s refusal to recontest his old seat has exposed him as a leader who leads not from the front but from behind UMNO.<\/p>\n Instead I will focus on my message on 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 future.<\/p>\n LIM GUAN ENG<\/p>\n —-BM Version —-<\/p>\n Kenyataan Media Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Merangkap Setiausaha Agung DAP Lim Guan Eng Di Komtar, George Town Pada 2 April 2013.<\/p>\n Tidak Kira Bagaimana Pandai Teng Chang Yeow Melakukan Helah Politiknya, Dia Tidak Boleh Lari Dari Hakikat Bahawa Beliau Sendiri Melihat Dirinya Sebagai Wakil UMNO Dan Bukan Wakil Rakyat, Yang Jelas Berbeza Daripada Prinsip Bahawa Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Mesti Memimpin Rakyat Dari Hadapan Dan Bukan Dari Belakang UMNO.<\/strong><\/p>\n Saya mesti mengakui bahawa saya telah tertipu dengan helah Pengerusi BN Pulau Pinang Teng Chang Yeow dalam permainan politik beliau mencabar saya dalam pertandingan antara kami berdua di Padang Kota. Jelas sekali kenyataan Teng semalam menunjukkan bahawa dia tidak mempunyai niat pun untuk menepati cabaran beliau sendiri terhadap saya. Walaupun saya telah menerima syaratnya yang tidak masuk akal iaitu supaya saya bertanding hanya satu kerusi DUN dan tidak bertanding kerusi Parlimen, sebagaimana yang dikehendaki terhadap saya sebagai Setiausaha Agung DAP untuk memimpin parti saya di peringkat nasional.<\/p>\n Terdapat 3 sebab mengapa saya telah terheret ke dalam penipuan politik Teng. Pertama, dia telah mengeluarkan cabaran kepada saya terlebih dahulu. Jika dia kini menafikannya, kenapa dia menetapkan syarat yang tidak masuk akal supaya saya bertanding hanya kerusi negeri, yang saya terima. Tindakan Teng mendakwa bahawa bukan dia yang melontarkan cabaran terlebih dahulu menunjukkan dia tidak mempunyai keberanian pun untuk mengakui hakikat itu.<\/p>\n Dua, Teng telah pernah menyatakan sebelum ini bahawa “anda mesti bangkit di tempat anda jatuh”, yang hanya bermakna bahawa dia akan bertanding semula di Padang Kota. Untuk dia mengatakan bahawa dia bermaksud untuk bangkit di Pulau Pinang dan bukan Padang Kota memperlihatkan dia sebenarnya tidak jujur kerana dia boleh juga maksudkan bahawa dia akan bangkit dari planet Bumi.<\/p>\n Ketiga, dia telah mengumumkan bahawa dia akan menjadi seorang pemimpin yang berbeza dari Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon dan bersedia untuk bertegas dengan UMNO. Dengan melarikan diri daripada bertanding kerusi sendiri di Padang Kota yang telah disandangnya selama 3 penggal pada tahun 1995 sehingga 2008 menunjukkan bahawa dia hanya bersedia untuk berdiri di belakang UMNO.<\/p>\n Tidak kira bagaimana pandai Teng melakukan helah Politiknya, dia tidak boleh lari dari hakikat bahawa beliau sendiri melihat dirinya sebagai wakil UMNO dan bukan wakil rakyat, yang jelas berbeza daripada prinsip bahawa Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang mesti memimpin rakyat dari hadapan dan bukan dari belakang UMNO.<\/p>\n Dengan meninggalkan kawasan saya di Air Putih dan memilih kawasan lama Teng di Padang Kota, saya telah memberikan beliau kelebihan yang baik. Padang Kota telah dimenangi oleh DAP dengan majoriti terendah 1,661 undi di antara semua 19 kerusi negeri yang dimenangi oleh DAP di Pulau Pinang pada tahun 2008. Walaupun DAP memenangi kerusi ini dengan majoriti terkecil, dia masih tidak berani untuk kembali bertanding di kerusi lamanya.<\/p>\n Saya mengharapkan pertandingan antara kami akan memberikan pilihan yang jelas kepada rakyat – sama ada untuk kembali kepada UMNO dan memilih kerajaan yang dikepalai oleh kroni BN atau memilih kerajaan yang mesra rakyat, untuk rakyat, oleh rakyat dan terdiri daripada rakyat. Ini juga adalah tentang dua dasar pentadbiran, satu yang membenarkan rasuah; dan satu lagi yang percaya bahawa kerajaan yang bersih berdasarkan kecekapan, akauntabiliti dan ketelusan boleh mengatasi sebuah pentadbiran yang korup.<\/p>\n Saya salah kerana menyangkakan bahawa Teng seorang pemimpin yang berbeza daripada Koh Tsu Koon. Malah dia sebenarnya adalah lebih teruk daripada Koh kerana sekurang-kurangnya Koh berani untuk bertanding semula di kerusi DUN beliau. Oleh itu, saya tidak lagi akan melayan permainan politik Teng. Walaupun saya telah tertipu dengan helah politik Teng, sekurang-kurangnya keengganannya untuk bertanding di kawasan lamanya telah mendedahkan Teng sebenarnya bukan pemimpin yang memimpin dari depan tetapi dari belakang UMNO.<\/p>\n Sebaliknya saya akan memberi tumpuan kepada mesej saya tentang masa depan jenis apa yang kita mahu untuk anak cucu Pulau Pinang. Pakatan Rakyat percaya dengan Pulau Pinang yang lebih bersih, hijau, selamat dan sihat. Biarlah rakyat Pulau Pinang memutuskan sama ada PR mempunyai dasar-dasar dan prinsip-prinsip serta mempunyai keberanian dan idealisme untuk menyediakan masa depan untuk anak-anak kita dan menyediakan anak muda kita untuk masa depan.<\/p>\n LIM GUAN ENG<\/p>\n —–Mandarin Version —–<\/p>\n
