The government’s decision under the Mid term Review of the 9th Malaysia Plan to cancel the RM2 billion Penang Monorail and RM1.5 billion Penang Outer Ring Road (PORR) is a simple case of political revenge. The BN government is punishing the voters of Penang for voting the PR government to power. This is a simple case of political revenge and is unbecoming, unacceptable and the people of Penang and Malaysia reject this move. Penang has been singled out for punishment because the DAP-led Penang government is actively rewriting the ground rules for Malaysians - equality, justice and resources for all citizens. We urge the federal government to stop this act of vengeance and immediately withdraw its decision to cancel the two mega projects in the island and restore the projects. It is the right of the people of Penang to enjoy the benefits of both projects. The mid-term review of the Ninth Malaysia Plan increase the original allocation of RM200 billion to RM230 billion but saw fit to take away from the people of Penang at the same time. There is no logic to this act expect vengeance. Instead of getting more allocations for Penang, the two mega projects have been put on hold. This act is unjustified. I will raise this matter in parliament and show how unjust the BN government is.
