Recently it happens that our Penang Chief Minister YAB LGE had been harassed by one old Malay chap by rapping on his shoulder in the presence of his bodyguard(?). It happened when the CM was heading to the 2nd floor car park at KOMTAR, the State Administrative block.
Immediately, the State Secretary over-reacted like KOMTAR had faced terrorists attack and ordered to seal off the six emergency exits supposedly they are meant for the fire escape doors no one is permitted to have them shut down! The public at KOMTAR now are having their lives at stake in case of any untoward happenings just because of the CM has come across such unfriendly visitor!
Being a CM, and a VVIP, of course he is valuing his life and safety as paramount important more so he's the captain of the Great Penang ship we all Penangites rely on him to lead to forward safely and peacefully in the so-called bon-voyage in our daily life journey. By considering less on the conveniences of the working and shopping public at KOMTAR to the extend of neglecting the safety of the general public at large, i wish to comment that our beloved CM was a bit lacking in regard for the feelings of others but merely thinking of his own safety first!
What's the point of having the bodyguards with him and they were doing nothing to protect their boss's safety?!
CM must be fair to the peoples of Penang and he must always bear in mind, before Penangites propped him up as a CM, his position was also a commoner and his life is equally important as the lives of those others'. Whether the life of a Tun, a Datuk Seri or a CM, a Minister, they are all the same value and they are only humans. Special positions or privileges are all man's self-egoism which makes the difference!
Probably the CM has got no such intention of creating barrier and different caste between him and the Penangites and it's all the works of his special assistant who is wildly recognised as an arrogant bureaucrat where many peoples have learnt enough of his rude and arrogant attitude when he's dealing with people's plights or grievances! I shared such experience with some of the journalist friends they will one day put him on the hot wok should he not restrain from his unwelcome arrogance!
Then this special assistant has to be blamed of such inconsiderate action of causing Penangites furious by not only inconveniencing them greatly but also taking for granted the safety and lives of the general public patronizing KOMTAR!
Imagine, today there's only one goat encroached into the security tight car park domain, they would have shut down the whole 2nd floor. How about tomorrow there are a phalanx of intruders bang into the lobby place, what are they going to do? Shut down the whole KOMTAR?!
Ridiculous!
