Umno slams DAP’s promises

Lim Guan Eng, the Chief Minister of Penang had last week promised that if the opposition front PR (Pakatan Rakyat) takes over the federal government at the next general election, they will provide among others, nationwide free Wi-Fi internet access, RM1000 for all senior citizens and the abolishment of the saman ekor system. The leaders of Umno however believe that the ‘sweeteners’ would not be able to be delivered. Shamsul Anuar Nasarah, the MP of Lenggong said “While it is easy for the opposition to make such grand promises, they always choked when the time came for delivering. DAP's failure to abolish highway toll charges and land issues which remained unsettled in Penang, both of which he claimed DAP had promised to address prior to winning the state in 2008. They make promises without research and when it is time to fulfill those promises, they find that they cannot do it. Either it is not practical or they do not have the resources.”

Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo, the vocal former Selangor Mentri Besar also slammed the DAP saying that “Populist measures like DAP's promises, would use up money needlessly but not address the root of the problem. How long can they sustain (the promises)? They will not last [...] they make the promises but like in Selangor they never really fulfill them. Even free water in Selangor is causing (Menteri Besar) Khalid Ibrahim a lot of headaches. It is nearly RM150 million a year. If DAP were really as great as they say they were, they should lead by example. Do it first in Penang, then we'll believe you are serious about it. We would like to see them do it in Penang and roll it out in Kedah and Kelantan too,”

Meanwhile Abdul Rahman Dahlan, the Kote Belud MP said “The 'sweeteners' wouldn't make DAP and Pakatan any better at governance. If DAP's Lim Guan Eng thinks that RM1,000 or abolishing the saman ekor and free Wi-Fi make his party the better party to form the next federal government, he is insulting the intelligence of Malaysians. There were already enough populist promises and approaches to economic policies from the opposition, adding that the measures would gain popular support in the short term but would cause the nation to suffer in the long term. Quick fixes like populist policies will only make things worse and may possibly bankrupt the nation as we are heading more and more towards a welfare state status,”
