Penang’s ‘protecting public interest’ illusion

ELEVEN years ago on April 14, then Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng had called upon the Barisan Nasional federal government to adopt the CAT system as the moral standard of administration that can “protect public interest and prevent wastage by weeding out both the incompetent and corrupt as well as those that have lost the democratic spirit”.

This is an insult to Penangites as he is saying that there is no one among the public in Penang who would be able to read or understand the 56 technical conditions and so, what is the point of making those conditions public? This smacks of arrogance. It is akin to telling Penangites that the government is giving them a new “bride” with 56 conditions attached but they cannot be given any information about those conditions and they can only see the bride and discover those conditions after the marriage ceremony is over.
