Hold the cheers

I’ve always felt that Penang had been orphaned at birth. While it has minimum resources, most of the financial capital contributing to the country’s GDP does come from this state. Because of this, we had often been abused and exploited without doubt.

Of course, after the first time betrayal succeeded, it was easy for them to do it again and again.

They always had brilliant plans for us. They even suggested a 10 year plan under the PGCC which I think is going to stop now. The funny thing about having a plan is, they don’t always cater for the unexpected. So, what do we do now that they have been overruled?

We improvise.

Just like what people do when they lose a hand after having plans to be a pianist; they basically focus on keeping their other hand instead.

Hence we did much thinking about how we’ve been unable to reach out for so long. And we thought right. We need change. We need change that we can depend on. The people have realized that sometimes, what they want is really what they need; while what they need - is simply a new plan.

For the first time it feels like Penang is regaining a father. The nation has responded with joy about the landslide democratic victory. This is something new and it feels like there is some form of confidence and hope, because for many years before, we could only use magical thinking to imagine the government ever making a difference.

In many ways this victory has brought the people back to life again.

But the real question is how we can find life now, without celebrating death?
