The CM of Penang must forge on and do what is best for Penang. Negative advices from within the ranks of DAP should be set aside and unsolicited comments from the now drowning UMNO chairman ignored.LGE must draw lessons from the mistakes of Paul Bremer, the 1st US administrator of post war Iraq. The latter foolishly disbanded Saddam’s army, fired thousands of school teachers and started a purge of capable government leaders because they were Ba'ath party members. For hIs folly, Iraq today is in a quagmire of endless suffering and pain.
The DAP-PKR government must not mirror the stupidity of Paul Bremer or the arrogance of the UMNO run federal government. It is no shame that the DAP-PKR government do not have the best people and have to appoint an "outsider" of the caliber of Lee Kah Choon. However, it will be a greater shame should they hold back the appointment of the most capable and the willing just because of some past political hang up.
The move by Datuk Lee Kah Choon to accept the posts of director of Penang Development Corporation (PDC) and investPenang is opposed to the Barisan Nasional spirit, said party chairman Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
Abdullah, who is also prime minister, said Lee cannot accept the two posts offered by the Penang state government before conferring with the Gerakan leadership.
On the same issue, DAP chairman Karpal Singh said it was wrong for Lee to accept the appointment and Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng should not have offered it in the first place.

Karpal, Time to Step Down..
Karpal has the same right as anyone to comment on what he thinks is right. As long as he remains to be the voice and the conscience for the rakyat he should continue to serve. The criterion for a person to step down is when their conscience becomes dull and when they think themselves better than others. In Malaysia we have many of them in the guise of doctors and dentists.
