PENANG, March 7 (Bernama) -- Penang DAP has cancelled its 'Buy Rocket to Help the Hardcore Poor' programme that was launched two days ago to help the state government eradicate hardcore poverty in the state.
The party's state publicity secretary, Ng Wei Aik, in a statement today said this was due to criticisms from various quarters.
Ng had announced the programme last Thursday whereby the poor would buy the party's paper 'The Rocket' at RM1 and sell it at RM2.
The move was strongly condemned by several quarters including by Penang Umno state liaison committee secretary, Datuk Azhar Ibrahim, who said the move was not honourable and was disgusting.
DR: I am amuse to read this news item. The opposition has been complaining that government make the flip-flop decisions. An example is toll increase decison. To me if the government change the decision for the better , why not ? Now in this instance it is the DAP which flip-floped. In all wisdom if we feel we have made a wrong decision then the best thing to do is to change the ridiculous decision.
