BN panics - Putrajaya 4th-Storey Boys rushed to Penang with final bag of tricks to stop the wind of change blowing ever stronger with 60,000 ceramah crowd last night which collected over RM130,000 in public donations

Marking growing panic in the Barisan Nasional at the strong winds of change rising up in the land, highlighted by last night�s 60,000-strong DAP ceramah crowd at Han Chiang Chinese School grounds in Penang which collected over RM130, 000 in public donations, the Putrajaya Fourth-Storey Boys have rushed up to Penang with their final bag of dirty tricks to check, counter and reverse the tide of change embracing Penang and the whole nation in the 12th general election.

The twin DAP objectives in the March 8, 2008 general election � to deny Barisan Nasional two-thirds majority in Parliament and the Penang State Assembly � seem to be increasingly feasible and within reach, and this is causing panic in Barisan Nasional circles.

Can the Putrajaya 4th-Storey Boys block and reverse the rising wind of change in Penang and Malaysia?
One brain-child of the Putrajaya 4th-storey Boys is the unprecedented live telecast of the Prime Minister to the nation as the final election campaign message of the Barisan chairman, which will be telecast live to the nation over the television channels.

This will be in the form of an interview with the Prime Minister by The Star Group Editor Datuk Wong Chun Wai and TV3�s Fuad Abdul Rahman in the Bual Pilihanraya programme at 9 pm.

This final election campaign message, to be telecast live over the television channels, will also be the final election abuse by Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who is completely indifferent to ethics, morality and integrity of government leaders, especially during the period of the election campaign after dissolution of Parliament until the election of a new Parliament and government, when he is only caretaker Prime Minister and all Ministers mere caretaker Ministers.

A caretaker Prime Minister has no business to give his final election campaign message as Barisan Chairman unless similar live-telecast time is offered to leaders of political parties in the Opposition to similarly deliver their �final election campaign� messages.

Abdullah has started the 12th general election with a lie � when he solemnly and publicly declared that Parliament will not be dissolved during the Chinese New Year, only to break the solemn pledge less than 24 hours later.

The 12th general election campaign is ending with a blatant affront to the National Integrity Plan launched by Abdullah in May 2004, where a caretaker PM and Barisan Chairman is allowed to give eve-of-polling election message telecast over television channels but denied to the Opposition leaders.

With such contempt to ethics, integrity and morality � with caretaker Deputy Prime Minister dragooning a government Fokker executive jet for his campaign purposes to support BN candidates up and down the country, which is a gross and blatant abuse of power by a caretaker government � who can ever trust Abdullah in his talk about fighting corruption and upholding integrity in public life.

What is the next trick of Putrajaya 4th-Storey in their unholy �mission�: to block and break the wind of change blowing strong and hard in Penang and Malaysia?
