  • On the 2nd. Nov 2017 at 1:18PM, a reputable online news provider, The Malaysian Insight had published my opinion article (op-ed) under the Insight section. I had assiduously dissected from the constitutional & administrative well-enshrined legal principles, the functions of Representative Democracy & Elected Representatives Duties and the oft-repeated sentence of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address petaining to representative governance, accountability, moral responsibilities & public duties inter alia other topics and subjects.
    It is undoubtedly with the same resonance that the honourable Chief Minister of Penang had sedulously laid down the Penang Peoples Budget 2018 as reported on 2.11.2017 in the implementation of their vision and mission of representative democracy & responsible public accountability in providing good governance in their discharge of public duties.

    These are common noble values taught in Montfort Primary & High School Batu Pahat.
