YOURSAY ‘Don’t just blame others when you are the cause of it.’

PM ticked off for picking 'sleepy' BN leaders

Odysseus: I don't think the Chinese are closing their doors to BN. It is BN who chased away voters, including Chinese.

BN has to take a look in the mirror. Don’t just blame others when you are the cause of it. Don’t be bothered to be nice by giving cheap kangkung when the country is losing billions through inefficiencies.

Headhunter: This is the problem with Umno. They never owned up to their own mistakes and they tell a pack of lies about the opposition even when reality stares them in the face.

But it looks like Umno is now imploding and is falling onto its own sword. Removing Najib Abdul Razak will not solve their problems.

Those who are lining up to take over are equally incompetent, corrupt, greedy and willing to destroy the nation so long as they themselves can continue to plunder.

Whysoserious: Headhunter, own up? Are these mistakes solely by BN? Check again. The Penang government should be cleaning up their own mess and now they are trying to put the blame on others.

Well, Pakatan Rakyat is the one who should learn to 'own up' rather than blabbering all these nonsensical claims. BN will stand firmly on its ground. And you really need to think before you speak.

Old Timer: Batu Kawan Umno division deputy chief Khairuddin Abu Hassan thinks that in Penang, the opposition “lie, promise the impossible and cheat the rakyat”.

But the truth is that all the losses - and even right now we have RM40 billion of taxpayers’ money lost by an Umno-led company - besides everything else that is in the Auditor-General’s Report, are due to the BN government.

It is hard for Pakatan to make the losses because BN is breathing down their neck and any whiff of scandal is played up as fact and magnified.

Actually in Penang, BN is the opposition and it is good as we need a strong opposition to check the ruling government.

Apapunboleh: "Umno has done all kinds of things (for the Chinese) - we invited them, we met with them, but we can see that their doors are still closed to Umno and BN," said Khairuddin.

How can the Penang Chinese support Umno when Umno does everything with a keris hidden behind its back.

Gerakan and MCA can forget the support of the Chinese voters as long as they tag along with the antics of Umno.

BeWay: You can do a thousand and one things to the people but when you continue to hurt people with all kinds of insults, who will vote for you? I guess these people still don't understand at all.

Where is Justice: Khairuddin, non-Malays are not emotional, they are a rational bunch.

I salute the fact that you have the guts to defy the ‘Melayu’ tradition to challenge your ‘ketua ketuanan’, but your analysis about the non-Malays is not quite accurate. It is up to BN to regain the confidence, trust and respect from the non-Malays.

Beh Tahan: It is BN that lies and cheats. Look at all the broken promises since the last general election (GE). The people are more rational than you think. What comes out from BN are provocations most of the time.

Anti Sarkis: Khairuddin is too emotional. He was frustrated because he cannot get what he wants in Umno. He is trying to get cheap publicity among the Umno members in Penang.

Khairuddin, if you not happy, better quit instead asking others to step down.

Anonymous #55961902: Khairuddin is ranting because he must have lost many opportunities under Pakatan rule.

He said, quote, "Even though they (Pakatan) lie, promise the impossible and cheat the rakyat, but because they are hardworking at the grassroots level and meet the rakyat every day, they are accepted by the people."

Tuan Khairuddin, you are wrong to say that Pakatan lied, cheated and promised the impossible to the people.

Let me tell you, people give their 101 percent support to Pakatan because their MPs and assemblypersons are God-fearing people, hardworking, sincere, honest, caring, and humble.

Unlike Umno-BN, where most if not all the MPs and assemblypersons are arrogant, behave like lords and treat the rakyat like scum.

They think the rakyat are their servants, who must put them into power every five years. This is the truth and that's the clear difference between Pakatan and Umno-BN.

Penang Lion: Chinese, Indians and all other Malaysians (except for those in politics) respected the Malay majority and Malay position at the top as long as the government of the day is fair to all Malaysians.

I hope more will join the 25 Eminent Malays to achieve a real vision for a better of Malaysia for all Malaysians.

Umno needs to wake up and not only hit out every time in their general assembly at non-Malays, especially Chinese, but learn to be a good ‘tai kor’ (big brother) by looking at how to improve our beloved country.

Snake-in-the-Grass: Sleepy? Aren't they all sleepless in Putrajaya, not knowing when they will be kicked out?
