Dr Koh unveils Penang's miserable track record

Penang Gerakan's Report Card shows how far behind Penang is

Among the "real highlights" are:-

1. Penang bridge is all choked up with traffic and huge traffic jams occurring almost everyday
2. NO 2nd bridge link
3. NO mass rapid transit nor monorail system in Penang
4. Poorly managed bus system
5. Poorly managed taxi service (meters still not used)
6. Poorly managed and grossly under-utilized ferry service
7. No new multinational companies (electronics, IT, finance, you name it... we don't see it) setting up shop in Penang (changing of names not considered)
8. No new airline operating from Bayan Lepas airport
9. No improvement in service in most government departments
10. Poor (sorry, make that very poor) broadband service and nonexistent in many areas
11. Lack of environmental care resulting in increased pollution, congestion and land erosion
12. Lack or nonexistent recreation facilities for public, young, old and the disabled
13. Lack or nonexistent public amenities e.g. public libraries and help centers
14. Lack or nonexistent tourist amenities e.g. tourist information counters and proper rest and recreation facilities
15. Poor maintenance of roads and walkways
16. Poor maintenance of rubbish collection and disposal system

All the above has resulted in the following:
- Penang losing out as a top investors' haven
- Penang losing out as a top tourist and shopping destination
- Penang losing out as a top second-home destination


Gerakan's slogan backfires

Gerakan leaders should "STOP REINVENTING" and give way now.
