Speech by Lim Guan Eng whilst campaigning for the PAS candidate in the Tenang By-Election on 25th Jan 2011 at 8 pm:*

**Since the mainstream media is banned from publishing such news by the
govt, please do a bit of national service by forwarding this report to your
contacts on the net & ask them to repeat the process.

Just imagine the exponential power of disseminating news in this manner. If
one person sends out this message to 10 of his contacts and each of the 10
contacts in turn repeats this process of spreading the word around, by the
7th level, 1 million readers would have received the same message.*

*This is one simple & powerful way where we can spread the censored message
to the rakyat to bring about a change of govt for the good of the country**.
**

The 4 PR states RM25 billion investments have beaten the other **10 BN
states attracted 53% of Malaysia's total investments of** RM47.2 billion in
2010
*
*The 4 PR states of Penang, Selangor, Kedah & Kelantan have beaten the
other 10 BN st
ates by attracting RM25 billion in investments comprising 53% of Malaysia's
total investments of RM47.2 billion in 2010. For the first time in history,
Penang is now the new champion of investments in Malaysia, coming out top
in 2010.

Penang replaced the previous 2009 champion Sarawak by recording RM 12.2
billion in 2010 as compared to Sarawak RM3.9 billion. Penang was No. 4 in
2009 with RM 2.1 billion but shot up 5 times to No.1. On the other hand
Sarawak went down from No.1 in 2009 with RM 8.5 billion to No. 4 with RM3.9
billion in 2010. Penang's success in drawing in RM12.2 billion is an
extraordinary vote of confidence by both foreign and local investors in the
PR state govt of Penang.

The No.2 state after Penang is another PR state of Selangor with RM 10.6
billion in investments. In fact the 4 PR states of Penang, Selangor, Kedah
and Kelantan combined comprise RM 25 billion investments or 53% of the
total investments in Malaysia of RM47,177 million in 2010. These 4 PR
states alone can beat the remainder 10 states of BN Malaysia combined!

Despite the financial constraints and limitations imposed by BN, PR have
shown our good governance. In Penang, we have excelled by being praised by
the Auditor-General Report for being the best financially managed state
with record surpluses of RM88 million in 2008 and RM77 million in 2009.
Penang became the first state govt in history to be commended by
Transparency International for CAT(Competency, Accountability &
Transparency) governance in establishing integrity in leadership.

We have wiped out hard-core poverty, the first state to do so in Malaysia.
We are giving senior citizens RM100 every year & when they die, their
beneficiaries a one-off RM1,000/-. All partially assisted schools of
Chinese,Tamil & Sekolah Agama Rakyat are given a fixed sum of at least
RM11.3 million every year. We are working towards a wifi state offered free
of charge.

Penang is going green and leading in green practices such as "No Free
Plastic Bag" campaigns and waste treatment through 3R of Reduce, Reuse
Recycle. Penang enjoys the cheapest water rates in the country. Penang is
also the Silicon Valley of Malaysia and selected as the most livable city
in Malaysia on par with KL. We have done more in 3 years what BN fail to do
in 51 years.**

So who says that PR can not govern. We may not have the experience but
neither do we have the experience to cheat or be corrupt. PR has proven
that a clean government can outperform corrupt govts. Voters of Tenang
should choose PR that offers a better future not only for you but for your
children.*

*PR is the better choice because we embrace the future. We embrace the
future by embracing each & every one of you whether Malays, Indians,
Chinese, Kadazans & Ibans as Malaysian brothers & sisters, Malaysian sons &
daughters. Let us grow together, learn together & enjoy the success
together.*
