The Penang politic recently was very dramatic, almost like the Perak state before the downfall of the opposition state government. The Political scene is like an animal farm, where all types of political animals are out to show off their acting skills to their master.
We have CAT who are doing their best to catch RAT, and other pests; we have BAT who suddenly come out without any reason or logic. There was business BAT who are trying to be the hero to impress his animal kingdom, or the master hidden behind. May be the kingdom's election is coming and they are trying to impress, and reveal to other animals their acting skills....
There are stray cats in the street, who have forgotten where his support come from. He has forgot the purpose of become a politician, for serving people or for serving self. May be he want to be a lonely cat, he cannot work with other cat in the kingdom of cat. He will soon be a lonely street cat. They have lost their political direction.
There are cat who are very self centered, like Garfield, an arrogant cat. He may look like he is the only righteous cat in the world, sometime he over shadow the owner. May be he is the owner's representative or spokesman.
The ducks, who always tell the world, they want to change the animal farm to be more democratic, more clean,more better. They did not select their leaders property, just to make up the numbers during the animal council election. But the Tsunami changed the political climate of animal farm, resulted in many ducks elected to the animal council. Some of the opportunists also elected to animal council. Many of these opportunist ducks have become frogs, rats, bats and not fulfilling their promise to the people and their potential to shake the animal farm. They failed the mandate of the animals who elected them. The duck community can't even control their duck siblings, how are they going to change the animal farm? they are still continuing their making noise, but the sound become weaker each day. If they are not careful, they will soon face the same fate as ostrich, who did not select their candidates properly. May be duck community should learn from the Singapore animal farm,how they select their candidates.
Frogs are still waiting for their time......to jump, to show off their skills of jumping from the water.....
The Deer, strong animal who can run fast, may be small in number, but big in Kelantan and Kedah. They are playing their role well in the state; but recently their siblings is planning to have dialogue with the phoenix.
The Ostrich is still hiding their head in the desert sand, and wonder why they lost the last election. They are no longer talking about serving the people. They are acting like an opposition, some even did not appear in the kingdom, and hibernate. Serving people can be in the role as opposition, that is the role which they never learn from the opposition, they only learn the tactic of attacking the ruling government. Even you lost the election, you still can serve the people, if you really want to become a politician.
Crow is the bird that move around Penang, an indication of dirty places, as dirty as the politic of animal farm. They only make annoying sound when they want food. They are hiding at the tree top or hanging wire, and ready to attack the cat whenever they have chance, or on order from the crows of other states. They are good in attacking stray cats. The crows are blind to their color, they want to be like phoenix, and dreaming of become phoenix one day. Some did it, others are excited that there are possibilities, they even invited their crow siblings form India to explore on the opportunity. Suddenly you see many Indian crows enter animal farm and disappeared. They are working in Nasi Kandar restaurants all over the animal farm. They have start their big mouth, making too much sound pollution in the animal politic.
The BAT are still around, in the animal community. They may befriend crows, phoenix, and sparrow; and come out from nowhere.....
The Phoenix, the king of the bird family. You cannot touch their feathers, they are sensitive to all stimulus. They are the privileged, with their beautiful color. The envy of the animal kingdom. But the problem is they are not able to feed for themselves. Whenever they are not happy,they will show off their color, that they are the king of this animal kingdom, they deserve the best treatment. Otherwise all the phoenix will gather and show off their color in front of animal court.... I wonder is phoenix a real bird?.....
The Pandas had lost their seat in animal council long long time ago. There was once one pandas who work very hard, but lost the election. This year the voice of ang ku kui is weaker now. But he is still very localized politician. The pandas in the national level is very chaotic,as dirty as Sungei Pinang(Penang River), so the pandas in the state is still in dilemma. Other than occasionally on the issue of Penang port, the pandas will still happy to eat their bamboo shoots quietly. May be since the ostrich had lost completely in the animal council, the return of their day seems bright. The pandas is protected species as they are once the founder of animal farm. They are still dreaming of their founding days with the Phoenix and the lions. But some young phoenix now are denying the fact and history of animal farm, this make their chances of coming back to animal council slim.
Sparrow is a small bird, waiting for some food left over by the other animals. They do not have a seat in the animal council; but is fighting for a seat, and hoping one day they will achieve their dream. But they may be used by some animals, to disturb the ecological balance of the animal farm, they are waiting for their chances. Please don't look down at their size, they are waiting to become big.... one day.....
The Cows are now very close to the CAT; they have make history in former city council election, may be they are waiting for another history, the coming city council election when Penang island become a city. Some old cows become businessmen, and are very close to the phoenix.
The new animal that say they are the only one who really love the animal farm. They are new, and no previous record to show they love the animal farm. They are small, but seems to move with confident. They are very friendly with the frogs, may be they are living in the river together, they are tempting the frogs to join them. May be they are dreaming of taking over from ostrich.... They are the river snake, may be....dangerous tools for hidden hand in the animal farm. They are waiting lazily in the swamp and to strike whenever any animal is not alert. The river snake can eat frog also lah.....
Even this is tiger year, there is not many tiger in the state. But there is an old Jelutong tiger, this year is his year. He is more active in court fight, he is also training his clubs to be like him. Two clubs are waiting to take over his place one day, more tiger roars may be heard in the coming years. They will frighten the rat, bat, crows away?
The lion clubs are a quite one, as the lion king had been defeated in Shell River. This type of animal is not local animal, only tiger is local animal. I wonder why members of animal farm named him lion, as he did not roar as lion, not even now. They should have named the community tiger, but now it is too late, otherwise they will breach the copy right of Jelutong tiger. Sooner or later, the lion clubs will join the tigers and learn the real roar....
Just pray that in the tiger year, these political animals will not make Penang politic as dirty and chaotic as their street and their traffic.
Gong Xi Fa Cai, all the members of animal kingdom...make Penang clean....
