BN won big in Bagan Pinang with a majority of 5,435 votes. It is said that more than 70% of the Indian voters voted for Isa. I do not know much about the local politics in Bagan Pinang to comment much but I do believe that the arrogant CM of Penang is a contributory factor. In my opinion, he is less than magnanimous as a leader in his dealing of the Kampung Pala issue.
For the second time, LGE is demanding an open apology from Kampung Pala residents association chairperson M Sugumaran and 10 others.
Residents association chairperson M Sugumaran said the government is playing games even while negotiating an amicable solution for remaining the 10 households, who have yet to take up any form of compensation.
He said the state government has demanded the 10 to sign and read out an apology letter to the state government at a press conference.
Whatever the reasons for this demand, LGE must be more forgiving because if he continues with his ‘high and mighty’ attitude, he shows himself to be no different from the previous administration. People talk.
Come the next GE, he’ll be the one eating humble pies. He’ll be the one making public apologies.
So it isn’t only PAS alone that needs to do some soul searching for the big loss in Bagan Pinang.
