Penang DAP must be held responsible

When the bridge collapsed in Perak's Kuala Dipang, BN was blamed and held responsible.

When the Dragon Boat race venue was changed by DAP to a new venue and a training recently claimed 6 lives, WHY NO ONE IS SLAMMING DAP ? Everyone lost their voice ?


In fact, back then, bloggers and Opposition were quick to push the blame to Barisan Nasional and 1Malaysia.

The latest Pakatan tune :

So will Pakatan "agitate" any action over the Dragon Boat tragedy in Penang ?

In Penang, the decision to switch the venue was made recently. "Recently" sure meant that the decision was made by the Penang DAP Government, no ?

As a result of this decision, the direct impact saw 6 lives lost. Who will take the responsibility in Penang DAP State Government ? JAWABLAH LIM GUAN ENG ! Why so quiet ?

I didn't hear anyone blaming the teachers or the school for Perak's tragedy. Now, everyone is blaming the negligence of the teachers and the school in Penang.

Washing your hands off the case ?
Read this :

- start -

"Penang Tourism Development and Culture Committee chairman Danny Law said the decision was made after complaints that there were no proper demarcation during the race last December.

“There were complaints about the alignment and the lack of demarcation last December. Because of that, we decided then that the race would no longer be held there,” Law said here yesterday."

Law came under fire for the change in venue last year when a rower was injured after two boats collided during a race.

Commenting on the tragedy, Law said that since early last year, dragon boat teams in the state had been offered free use of the Teluk Bahang Dam on weekends to practise but the out-of-the-way location made it an unpopular choice.

- end -



Dah mati orang baru nak buat pengumuman macam ni ?

Mr Danny Law, if you had made the announcement earlier, I am sure the teachers and students wouldn't have carried out the training there !

Something is also brewing in Penang on the number of overseas travel, total costs, and FDIs obtained per dollar spent on traveling ...

And please, Federal Government and Parliamentarians, can anyone please push an emergency motion or decree an executive decision compelling the use of LIFE JACKETS ?

Condolences and my prayers are with the families of the victims.

SMK's are under the control of the PPDs. The Penang state government has no say over how the Ministry of Education carries out its job. The awarding of contracts and the approvals for the construction of anything falls under the control of the state governments for the state government controls all land matters within a particular state.

Please compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges.

There's a big different between sekolah bantuan penuh kerajaan and sekolah bantuan modal...study this your shelf then you can talk whether there's anything to do with ppd

There is I now. However, ALL SMK's must abide by standard rules in their curriculum. If the Dragon Boat event is purely the effort of the School then the blame must fall on the headmaster. On the other hand if it is part of the school curriculum then it falls under the PPDs. A state government can only be blamed in areas which it is ABLE TO EXERCISE control. LGE has no control over the SMKs nor does he have any control over the Board of Directors of the semi-aided SMKs. Once more please look at the tragedy objectively and lay blame where blame is due.

You are such a cry baby. The school dragon boat was sponsored by a dragon boat club. Obviously, you are too blinded. They have been praticing there for 3 years or more. Grow up! LGE and company didn't even ask them to practice there. Have you gone nuts or what???

Tsk tsk - wanna be a cybertrooper for BN - get your facts first lar

Hmm... Heres a coupla difference between the Kuala Dipang tragedy and the Dragon Boat incident.

- The Kuala Dipang tragedy was caused by shoddy workmanship and negligence of the contractor that constructed the bridge.

- The contractor was contracted by the BN government to construct the bridge that collapsed.

- The incident occured during the 1MALAYSIA camp organized by the BN government.

Now lets compare to the dragon boat tragedy.

- The tragedy was caused by not following proper safety procedures by the dragon boat club.

- The incident occurred during the training stint organized by the dragon boat club.

I think its pretty obvious that the 2 tragedies are different. In the Kuala Dipang incident its obvious BN should take responsibility. It was their contractor, their bridge and their 1Malaysia camp.

However, i also do agree, DAP should take responsibility. As the state government it is their responsibility to ensure the safety of water sports activities in the state. DAP is not the direct cause of the tragedy, but they still have to take responsibility.

Race is organised and venue changed by Penang Government. If LGE can oonly outburst, DAP should ask for a Royal Commission. Why diam?????

There's a big difference between negligence to safety rules and shoddy workmanship as what happened in K.Dipang bridge tragedy.

All you ppl who start slamming each other after a tragedy shd look in the mirror really close and see who you are.. a true Malaysian? Or just a BN lackey.??

As an engineer, I am going to definitely agree the blame is the engineer and definitely the blame goes to the person/company that hired him. Let me just say one thing. The engineer was unregistered. A background check wasn't done and I say the blame goes to the person who *Gov* that gave him the contract. They definitely went for the lowest cost. Remember, the government is the client and after the bridge was built, the client didn't say anything.

Dear Mr Goh,

You must be off your rocker if you are seeking to make political capital out of this tragic incident and blame DAP for it!! Have you no shame as apro-UMNO blogger?

Besides, in the KD bridge disaster, the contractor's drawings did not carry the local authoritie's approval nor was the bridge inspected and given a CIF after installation as required by law.

If that does not put the blame fairly and squarely on the BN MB & State Govt and Education Dept whioch organised the ill-conceived camp, who do you think was negligent? George Bush?
