And the PR-managed Selangor state government received a ‘satisfactory’ rating from the AG for their financial position ending 2010. The state’s consolidated revenue increased by RM266.91 million or 20.2 percent, from RM1,319.97 million in 2009 to RM1,586.88 million in 2010. This is despite it registering a 10.9 percent or RM192.36 million drop to RM1,571.50 million in state revenue last year (RM1,763.86 million in 2009).
Even Kelantan and Kedah were also graded 'satisfactory'. This means that all these states are under the safe hands of CAT-abiding Pakatan shepherds. [CAT refers to the DAP's governing philosophy, meaning Competency, Accountability and Transparency].
Penangites and others from the three states have discovered their good fortune because they gave the reins of power to the anti-BN coalition. If Penang and the other three can be so successful, why don’t Malaysians elsewhere give them a chance too? I’m referring to Negeri Sembilan, Malacca and Perak.
When the time comes, let’s insist on change. It's about time.

Bersih 2.0’s Ambiga Sreenevasan is in Australia – she kicked off a speaking tour of four of the most renowned law schools in Australia. There, she lambasted Putrajaya of stalling on electoral reform ahead of key national polls likely to be called by early next year.
It is good that she is building awareness amongst Malaysians in Australia on the importance of electoral reform but shouldn’t her focus be on speaking to Malaysians in Malaysia?
And I'm not referring just to the urbanites! We need to reach out to the BN heartlands too!
I don't think things will change much, to be honest. I say, bring on Bersih 3.0!
