Penang voters should give the BN the mandate again to administer Penang following the failure of DAP in resolving issues arising during its eight-year administration.

Umno supreme council member Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the party had failed to fulfil all promises made in its manifesto for the last general election, which was prepared merely for it to capture the state from BN.

Since the early days of DAP ruling Penang, the party has failed to fulfil all the promises it has made… (abolishing) tolls, a new bridge and so forth were only election promises and have not been implemented.

"If we are still not aware of the lies by DAP, I think we, or Penang, will face problems… all the promises made are not fulfilled. They just want to garner votes," he told a press conference after officially opening the Bayan Baru Umno division delegates meeting in George Town last night.

Ismail Sabri, who is also rural and regional development minister, said the Penang DAP government had also failed to prove that it was clean and transparent when it was also facing the issue of corruption.
