GEORGE TOWN: As Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng gets set to celebrate his second year in office, the state government has been urged to explain why Penang suffered 78 per cent drop in investments last year.
State Gerakan queried how successful the state government had been in attracting new investors to Penang.
State Gerakan assistant secretary Goh Kheng Sneah said this figure was provided by the Malaysian Industrial Development Authority (MIDA).
“Lim must explain what his administration is doing to bring in new investors, keep the existing ones happy and provide a clear master plan to boost the state’s growth.”
Meanwhile, the party’s SME Industry Development Bureau chairman Michael Heah said Penang was now among the states with the highest decline in investments.
He said the state got just RM2.2 billion in investments in 2009 compared with RM10.2 billion in 2008 and that the number of approved projects last year also dropped to 104 from 151 in 2008.
He said Lim must also explain the success of the numerous foreign trips he and other state officials had made over the last two years.
Di peringkat nasional , bukan main lagi Anwar dan DAP mendakwa ekonomi Malaysia teruk walaupun baru-baru ini Najib telah mengumumkan KDNK negara telah meningkat kepada 4 % iaitu satu pemulihan yang cepat berbanding negara-negara lain .
Tetapi rupa-rupanya satu negeri Pakatan iaitu PP adalah negeri yang paling teruk keadaan ekonominya. Fakta yang dikeluarkan daripada MIDA menunjukkan pelaburan masuk ke PP telah menurun sebanyak 78 % !!!
Guan Eng , hang buat sampai teruk sangat ekonomi PP terus merudum ?? Hang tidoq ka ?? Tapi PB dengar selalu dok pi luar negara Singapura la , Korea la dan tidak kurang hebatnya TKM hang selalu je ke oversea … hang pa ni buat cari pelaburan ka pergi melancong ????
PP merupakan dahulu antara negeri termaju di Malaysia selepas Selangor tetapi kini di bawah pemerintahan Guan Eng nampaknya semakin merudum . Oleh itu , rakyat PP harus menilai semula selama 2 tahun pemerintahan Guan Eng dan apa yang beliau lakukan untuk kemakmuran negeri .
