  Koh Annoyed With Developer Who Demolished School :: Bernama.com
Koh also denied claims by the developer that he refused to intervene and failed to respond to the letter dated 22 Dec sent by the developer.
Koh said the developer alleged he trespassed the land when he went to attend the ground breaking ceremony for the school on Dec 19.
Koh urged the school board to speed up the new school building project and the state government is willing to allocate RM100,000 while Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi who is also the Kepala Batas Parliament member agreed to allocate another RM200,000 and the school board had collected contributions worth RM300,000.

As Mahathir and Tsu Koon are confident of winning more than two-thirds majority on Monday, then let's have a clean and fair election campaign for the next 36 hours before polling, as the campaign in the past six days had been dirty enough to make the tenth general election the dirtiest in the nation's history.
I forgive Tsu Koon all the abuses and epithets he had used against me in the past week as I understand the intense pressures he was under, although this could never be an excuse for his boorish remarks against his political opponents.
Tsu Koon should get Lam Thye to publicly substantiate his story if he wants the people to believe that he was not telling some "tall" tale.

 Keng Yaik - why the silence leaving Tsu Koon out in the cold?
Tsu Koon had been let down by the Gerakan President and the other Gerakan leaders as only Gerakan Central Committee member Dr. Toh Kin Woon is the only lone voice to publicly back Tsu Koon for the review of the educationally unsound “2-4-3” formula.
But if Tsu Koon is right and his stand reflects Gerakan party stand, then Keng Yaik and the other Gerakan leaders must have the courage of their conviction, regardless of the pressures emanating from UMNO.
Tsu Koon’s blaming the media for misreporting him has compounded the confusion, raising the question whether he has fully backed down from his call and is looking for an honourable political exit for himself, since he had not found any support whatsoever from the rest of the Gerakan party leadership.

If you want Koh Tsu Koon, go speak to him and Koh Tsu Koon has listened to the grassroots; therefore decided to take over because I told the party, this is my last term.
Koh: I want to add that precisely, this process of consultation that the president has gone through not just on the issue of the deputy president and the issue of successor but on most issues, he has been very consultative and very communicative.

Chief Minister Tan Sri Dr. Koh Tsu Koon told the State Assembly that the fund could be similar to the low-cost housing revolving fund, whereby the state governments have to repay the loan.
Koh said the state government could recoup the expenditure by asking developers to pay when they implement housing schemes near the drainage project undertaken by the state government.
Koh said the problem arose only in the past several years because of the mushrooming of housing estates.

 KTemoc Konsiders ........: Koh TK willing captive of UMNO?
Readers ali allah ditta and ganchan thought that I have been too harsh on Chief Minister Koh Tsu Koon, as they felt that Koh faced difficulties in marshalling UMNO and the MCA behind his chief ministerial responsibilities.
One cannot push oneself to be a State's leader and claim immunity from public criticisms because the politics are difficult or that his hands have been tied behind his back by UMNO or he's been sabotaged by a treacherous MCA.
Tsu Khoon nightmare is not with UMNO as it seems to be.Btw,UMNO forms the largest voting block in the DUN.Though,in the last 2 elections,UMNO was in the majority they never claim the CM post.There seems to be an unwritten understanding in BN that then post of CM of Penang must be a chinese.

 Blogger: Email Post to a Friend
This is Dr Koh's fourth term as Chief Minister of Penang and given the way Gerakan politics is unfolding at the national level, it may well be his last term.
Penang had begun to lose ground on a number of fronts from the 1970s onwards but it was during Dr Koh’s tenure when that fact was most keenly felt because this was when other places in the country began to bloom and prosper.
Thus, while Dr Koh has been a fairly competent housekeeper, he has not created a situation of hope where, whether real or perceived, people are confident that there is a good life out ahead for them and their children.

Although the police have denied that Ong and Ooi were arrested because of the instructions of Tsu Koon, very few would believe that the arrests could be made without the Chief Minister’s knowledge or consent.
If it is true that there was a phone death threat against Tsu Koon made to the Gerakan headquarters, this must be condemned, but this cannot be arbitrarily linked to Ong and Ooi or to justify their arrest.
As the person directly involved, Tsu Koon should quash the police report lodged in connection with the attempt by Ong, SOS and pre-war tenants to get him to intervene in the plight of the ill-planned decontrol of the pre-war premises.

Tsu Koon would have gained more public respect if he had not been so selective in his political views and stands, as for instance, if he had similarly urged the Malaysian voters to retire Datuk Seri Dr. Mahathir Mohamad and Tun Ghafar Baba from politics by voting them out of Parliament on Nov. 29, 1999.
I would not even ask whether Tsu Koon would dare to suggest that it is time for Mahathir to retire after five decades of politics, seven terms as MP, 25 years as Minister and 18 years as Prime Minister!
Tsu Koon is going round declaring that I would meet my political end in the Bukit Bendera parliamentary and Kebun Bunga state assembly constituencies.
