Old man Keng Yaik

We sure miss him don't we?

Our former Beruas MP cum Energy & Telco Minister cum President of Gerakan entertained us once again with his 'kawai' attic when asked to comment on Lee Kah Choon's directorship appointment to the Penang Development Corporation (PDC) and InvestPenang.

Never once shy to 'rain' his comment to his reporters audience, the old man perfected the art of sarcasm when he wished Lee 'best of luck'. Come on, KY, we all know you are boiling inside, why not just let it erupt? It is not healthy to keep your anger inside.

He further suggested that Lee's appointment is a sign that DAP or PR is bereft of talents and is forced to headhunt talent from Gerakan. Too many parachute candidates, that's what he said. As I was watching him pouring our his comments at TV3, I couldn't stop laughing at the words that came out from his mouth. He harped on how he pitied Lee for being a suspicious character in both camps. He still can't get it.

It's clear that the PR government is marching towards a new form of democratic rule of governance whereby talent would be appreciated and utilized regardless of party partisan. I also read that Penang exco Phee Boon Poh will be inviting his 'UMNO shadow' to the commitee so that the same can be updated with the various state government's policy. This should be the way, and i hope all PR governments will emulate Phee's suggestion. If you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't be scared of any skeleton.

Old man KY still refuses to concede and worse understand why the people of Penang have rejected Barisan's form of government.

Nevertheless minus the substance of his speech, we Malaysians will surely miss this colourful character in our political arena. For pure entertainment value, I think he should make a comeback and contest in Penang against LGE. That I guarantee is political entertainment at its best.
