Aiyoh, is the PM for real?



We seem to have a fickle-minded PM. In the morning he appeared to have this view (check out Andrew Ong's post in Malaysiakini) of Lee Kah Choon's appoinments in the Penang Development Corporation (PDC) and InvestPenang. By the afternoon, probably after having been in the unusually hot sun, he has changed his view of things, see Bernama. He now thinks that the move by Kah Choon to accept the posts of director of Penang Development Corporation and chairman of the executive committee of InvestPenang is opposed to the Barisan Nasional (BN) spirit. Now what is the BN spirit, may one ask?

Soon after the 12th election, the PM informed one and all that the federal projects in Penang would continue as planned and that the 2nd Penang bridge was definitely on. Today he announces over TV that the 2nd Penang bridge has been postponed. One of the reasons cited for the delay/postponement is that
there is a need to ensure that the given design is the most suitable. Wasn't sufficient time spent on the design before the project was first approved? Who was sleeping on the job? Has the new design and alignment got to do with the fading fortunes of someone named PB?

Yesterday, it was reported by Malaysiakini that the PM had announced that the ACA would be fully independent by year end. Will he change his mind in the next few days.

Aiyoh, is he for real? Is he coming or going?
