If we STOP the Development --- People will come back to the BN..

So do we now pay our taxes to the Opposition wakil rakyat? Will they get the share of the income of the nation according to the percentage of the votes that they got in the last General Elections? Then, the Opposition will have the MONEY to use it for the people.

FREEDOM to CHOOSE your WAKIL RAKYAT -- and the end result is that the BN has won sufficient seat to form government --- and after election their duties and obligation is not just to the people in the constituencies that voted for the BN but to all Malaysians. All development must be brought to every region and all people irrespective of how they exercised their right to VOTE.

This "
Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam" clearly do not understand this ---- IT is wrong to threathen the rakyat with "NO DEVELOPMENT" if you vote for opposition. It is also demonstrative to how unattractive the Barisan Nasional and UMNO have become so much so they have nothing to woo the support of the people save by using of threats and bullying them.

Why should the people support UMNO,...and the BN? Why should the people choose candidates from UMNO....and the BN? Clearly, even a Vice President of UMNO may not have a clue about the answer....I shall rephrase....if the Opposition coalition(the Barisan Alternative) won 140 seats in Parliament and formed the government , who now has the funds and the capacity to bring development ....why then at the next elections should the people vote for UMNO, MCA, MIC...the BN? Surely you cannot say that if you do not vote the BN - there will be no development for you...OR if you vote the BN there will be development...

Too long in power - 50 years - and this UMNO-led coalition of political parties, the Barisan Nasional, --- has just forgot the basics...and the answer of "why should I vote for you to be my representative...?" ...what is your ideology...what kind of development are you talking about --- what are your priorities..?...

"We have to stop all major projects to Penang as this is what the people wanted. If we continue with the project it would be almost impossible for us to regain control of the State in the next General Elections,” the Malacca Chief Minister said.

"If we stop all major projects, the people would realise what they had lost and would then come back to the BN. This is the only way we could recapture the State in the future from the opposition,"

MALACCA, Sat:

Supporting the call by Umno Penang for all BN mega projects in Penang be stopped, Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam put the blame on voters who decided that they did not want the major projects by voting in for the opposition.

"We have to stop all major projects to Penang as this is what the people wanted. If we continue with the project it would be almost impossible for us to regain control of the State in the next General Elections,” the Malacca Chief Minister said.

"If we stop all major projects, the people would realise what they had lost and would then come back to the BN. This is the only way we could recapture the State in the future from the opposition," he told reporters after visiting the Menara Taming Sari project near Dataran Pahlawan along Jalan Merdeka, here, today.

The proposed Penang mega projects include those planned under the Northern Corridor Economic Region (NCER), the second Penang Bridge, the light monorail transit system, the Penang Outer Ring Road, the Penang Sentral and the RapidPenang bus service.

"The people in Penang have clearly rejected development and they want a change," he said.
In the March 8 polls, Umno only won two parliamentary seats and 12 state seats in Penang.
