DAP no better than BN

There has been a lot of hot air over the so-called declaration of assets by the DAP state government in Penang. Many people have come out to praise DAP secreatr-general Lim Guan Eng, who is the Penang chief minister, for being very transparent and accountable. Is he?
First of all, why didn’t Lim and his exco members reveal their monthly income? Take Lim’s case, for example. I think he takes home more than a RM100,000 each month. He gets allowances as MP for Bagan, state assemblyman for Air Putih, big fat pay as chief minister, and his wife Betty also gets an allowance as state assemblyperson for Malacca. On top of that, which are all tax-free, Lim gets free housing, transport allowance, car and driver, and also big fat allowances as board member of various state corporations such as Penang Development Corporation, InvestPenang, etc.
Similarly, other DAP leaders like Teresa Kok gets allowances as MP, state assemblyperson, and big fat pay as senior executive councillor, plus also big fat allowance as board member of various state corporations and government-linked companies. She also gets free housing, transport allowance, car and driver.
These DAP leaders often accuse the Barisan Nasional as corrupt. They are no better, being so greedy. I am sure Lim’s children are receiving big fat ang pows from those who want favours from him. Is he prepared to declare all the ang pows he and his children receive, and from whom?
Lim and his DAP are always critising Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib’s wife Rosmah for showing off as First Lady Of Malaysia (FLOM). Lim’s wife is no better, being labelled FLOP (First Lady Of Penang). It seems she is increasingly becoming more visible and vocal in Penang, and demanding to be invited as guest-of-honour at almost all high society functions in Penang. Tongues are wagging about FLOP, who will cause her husband to be ousted in Penang.
Tun Ling Liong Sik used to say that DAP is NATO — No Action, Talk Only. He is right. And I think DAP stands for “Demand Ang Pows”.
