致親愛的選民

致親愛的選民：

感謝您在2004年3月21日投我一票，讓我有機會踏入檳州立法議會，為您和峇眼惹瑪的所有居民，在政治、經濟、文化、教育、宗教等各領域，奉獻了一份心力。

這4年來，我的確憑我的政治恩師丹斯里石清霖醫生給予我的引導，加上在當州議員前，先後擔任7屆市議員及8年的公共服務及投訴局主任所累積的經驗，讓我這名全職的政治工作者，能更快速及更有效的為您及廣大居民做出誠心誠意的服務。

全職服務選民
在您給我機會擔任州議員的期間，我非但在峇眼惹瑪選區工作，同時得在沒有其他在朝議員的峇眼國會選區內，給需要幫忙的居民必要的援助，雖然工作極其艱辛，我卻欣然接受，最終分享了居民在問題迎刃而解時的喜悅。

過去4年，我不敢說已經交出漂亮的成績單，但是，可以肯定的是我虛心及誠心
提供了我的服務，身為國陣成員黨之一的馬華檳州馬青團長兼州議員，在各種關係人民利益的課題上，我除了針貶時弊，也通過實際的管道解決了居民的各項難題。

全心照顧華校及其他个源流中小学
以大家最為關注的教育課題為例， 2005至2007年期間，我除了適時撥款協助淡米爾和国民小学及各中学，更是全心全意照顧區內華校的發展，在短短的3年內，總共19次通過州議員撥款或爭取私人公司捐款（請見附錄），先後拨出了高達22萬令吉給區內的各華小和北海鍾靈國民型中學。

我尤其欣慰的是，我擔任州議員期間，見証了中華二校搬遷到更完善的新校舍；而中華總校面對白蟻蛀蝕時，教育部對我的反映極其重視，並且在極短的時間內撥出15萬令吉搶修校舍。

感謝您上屆大選給予我機會，造就了我繼續服務選民的決心和毅力，我希望在本屆大選投票日時，您再次投出手中神聖的一票給我，我誓言繼續履行全職政治工作者的角色，與您並肩，共赴時艱！

Support the women

By LOOI SUE CHERN

WOMEN voters in Bagan were told to give their support to the women candidates standing in the constituency.

Wanita MCA chief Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen said if all women voters in the constituency voted for Barisan Nasional’s Bagan parliamentary candidate Song Choy Leng and Teh Lay Cheng (Sungai Puyu state seat), the ruling coalition would have a good chance to grab the seat back from the Oppo-sition.

“If women cast their votes for Choy Leng, we will have a 70% chance to win in Bagan. The fight for Bagan is tough but winning is not impossible,” she said at the Bagan MCA headquarters yesterday.


Ng (second right) leading BN Sungai Puyu candidate Teh Lay Cheng (third right); Bagan candidate Song Choy Leng (left) and Bayan Baru candidate Ooi Siew Kim (forth right) to meet residents at Sungai Puyu.
She said Bagan should have a full-time MP serving them instead of DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng.

Lim who is contesting against Song would be dividing his time between Penang and Malacca, where his family lived, she said.

During a visit to Taman Oi Leng in Sungai Puyu, Dr Ng also called on the people to support incumbent Bagan Jermal assemblyman Ooi Chuan Aik, who she described as a hardworking state representative.

Dr Ng said the present government had helped the people by subsiding fuel and gas prices and abolishing school fees among others.

There, the residents handed a memorandum to Dr Ng, asking her to assist them from being evicted by the Royal Malaysian Air Force which owned the land.

Dr Ng promised that MCA would look into the matter.

“That would be Song’s first task if she is elected an MP,” Ng said.

Also present were Song, Teh, Ooi, Penang MCA Wanita chief and Bayan Baru parliamentary candidate Ooi Siew Kim, and Bagan MCA division chairman Datuk Wei Bak Hoe.

Karaoke numbers to win ’em over

BAGAN Jermal incumbent Ooi Chuan Aik has been consuming warm water and fresh vegetables to maintain his voice, so he can continue to deliver karaoke numbers to impress voters.

The 45-year-old bachelor, who has a passion for singing, said he watched his diet to be able to deliver speeches as well as hit some of the high notes when he sang songs.

“I will render songs at public events, so long as I still have the voice,” he said after delivering a Mandarin song at the Taman Mawar Rukun Tetangga Chinese New Year dance competition on Tuesday night.

Ooi sang Pa Pin Nian (Peaceful Year) to a crowd of about 1,000 people, who rewarded him with thunderous claps.


Passion for singing: Ooi belting out a number.
Also present were Barisan Nasional’s Bagan parliamentary candidate Song Choy Leng and Sungai Puyu candidate Teh Lay Cheng.

In his speech, Ooi praised the three-month-old Taman Mawar RT for successfully organising its maiden public event.

“I am happy that I could obtain a piece of land for the residents to start an RT here.

“Apart from obtaining two container units for the RT to conduct their meetings, I am in the midst of getting playground equipment to be installed here,” he said.

Ooi said he would also help them obtain two more parcels of land within the area to create mini recreational parks.

Earlier, Ooi visited 43 fishermen from Pantai Bersih at Pangsapuri Pantai Bersih, whose boats and fishing equipment were damaged in a storm last July.

He gave them fishing nets worth RM64,000, noting that the state government had earlier presented 13 of them with new boats and engines worth a total RM100,000.

就算脫落光頭髮也都在所不惜

（檳城‧北海）峇眼惹瑪州議席國陣候選人黃泉益以打趣的口吻拉票：“如果人民想看我光頭的樣子，就請投我一票。”他說，4年前中選為州議員前，他的頭髮還很濃密，如今相信是因為非常繁忙的工作，導致嚴重脫髮，不過為了替人民解決問題，就算脫落光頭髮也都在所不惜。


黃泉益前晚在北海善財童子廟舉行的晚宴上，首次以福建話致詞時，表示相信他的禿頭情況是在中選州議員後，因為用腦力過度變得更嚴重，並自嘲如果在本屆大選中選，肯定會變成光頭。
他強調，峇眼惹瑪州議席是當年他的師父石清霖打拼回來的選區，但他的經驗不如石清霖豐富，無時無刻都還向石清霖請教，以便為當地人民作出更多的貢獻。

福建話演講幽默親切
他笑說，“如果屆時我變成光禿禿，就是晚上不開燈，也會看到我發亮的光頭”，此話一出，引起全場笑聲四起。黃泉益也在現場以一名禿頭的馬青團員呂榮和為例，並指著呂氏向大家說：“以後我就會像他一樣，再也不必梳頭髮”。

黃泉益自在4年前中選以來，都是以華語及內容很格式化的致詞，不過此次相信是為了引起選民對他的注意，首次以非常通順且流利的福建話向人民講話，而且還加入其幽默的演講內容。
過後黃泉益在受詢時說，以福建話溝通是要與選民接近距離及更有親切感。


Barisan to rely on track record

BUTTERWORTH: Barisan Nasional will stand by its track record in its battle to win over Bagan from the Opposition. Former Penang MCA chairman Tan Sri Dr Sak Cheng Lum said Barisan’s contribution to the progress of Bagan and the country’s development should be enough to win voters.

“Look at Butterworth’s development over the years. Look at its infrastructure and Chinese and Tamil schools,” said the five-term former Bagan Jermal assemblyman. He said Barisan had the confidence to win over Bagan, an opposition stronghold that had been under DAP for 20 years.

“Every general election has its own challenges but we acknowledge that this general election is more challenging. There are different issues to address and different accusations from the Opposition to face.

“But Barisan will go all out,” he said when asked if he thought MCA’s three candidates

Ooi Chuan Aik (Bagan Jermal),
Teh Lay Cheng (Sungai Puyu) and
Song Choy Leng (Bagan parliamentary seat)

could triumph over their DAP rivals.

Dr Sak was speaking to the press at Taman Kerapu where he joined Ooi and Song on their house-to-house campaign at the housing areas.

Ooi, who is the incumbent Bagan Jermal assemblyman is facing DAP’s Lim Hock Seng, the former Bagan MP.

Meanwhile, newcomers Song and Teh are contesting against DAP secretary-general and former Kota Melaka MP Lim Guan Eng and incumbent Sungai Puyu assemblyman Phee Boon Poh respectively.

Dr Sak also said that Lim Guan Eng might not know what the people of Bagan needed, although he could stir their emotions.

“I hope the people will give Guan Eng a nice welcome, and also a nice send-off,” he said.
