Fan Yew Teng

Fan Yew Teng

If we remember right the late Fan Yew Teng was the honest fellow who agreed with Lena Jaeger (later a Baroness) that Harry Lee's PAP was not socialist and had planned to have the PAP expelled from the Socialist International (Harry Lee quickly got out before that happened). Sadly none of what was written after his death mentions this fact which shows the intellectual honesty of the man who was himself a member of the PAP

Sleeping Council

The Penang City Cuncil dos not seem to understand its job. For example. A huge signboard has come up next to a coffee shop in Macalister Road announcing a new PET Shop. And it is sits right next to a coffee shop. Are the Council people one eyed or is it corruption?

Where pilitics rule

There follows a demand for controls. And of course nothing is done. Such accidents will be reported again and again. But nothing is done. The reason is quite simple: politics. Politicians are in control and if powerful enough can never be controlled.
