Tussle for Penang begins


Message in a T-shirt: MCA ended up with zero seats in Penang in 2008 but its recent mega dinner at the Han Chiang High School grounds suggests that the people are willing to listen to what the party has to say about the future.

The election campaign has as good as begun in Penang with both sides dangling mega projects ranging from an underground sea tunnel to a monorail system to win votes.

THE spacious grounds of Penang’s prestigious Han Chiang High School has once again become the stage for opposition politics. This was the place where DAP held a series of rallies in March 2008 that launched the party into power in Penang and sent the Barisan Nasional into the opposition wilderness.
