Terengganu:Once bitten,twice smitten, thrice...?

1. Terengganu folks has had it again. Before it was the father, now it is the son...Well, don't get me wrong here. I am not talking about trinity concept but that of 1Malaysia PM. Read on and hopefully you will understand why...
2. Back in the old 70's, post 1969, PM2 (read the father @ Tun Razak) decided to have 1 port in peninsular Malaysia. Basic thinking will teach you one basic rule - do not mess with nature for they will take what is taken away...
3. After detail engineering study, the technical paper offers 2 options - either Gebeng or Teluk Kalung, Kemaman.
4. With some "twist of events", the government decided for Gebeng, a seaside area with no natural harbour nor sufficient depth to cater for seagoing ships. Hundreds of hectares of land were excavated and deepened. At that time, oil discovery off the coast of Terengganu were first announced and hit the newstand.
5. What happened after, is history. Gebeng port failed to materialise as the premier port. Shddy workmanship is blamed for cracks and the once blossoming mangrove swamps along the coastal areas transformed to barren land, devoid of life.
6. All along, Terengganu folks swallowed their pride for the port that should be theirs but never materialise. It is like another Megat Panji Alam spurned by Tun Teja, all over again.
7. Fast forward to 2009. New 1 Malaysia concept - people first, performance now, introduced by PM 6 (read the son @ Najib Tun Razak). The ministerial posts for Terengganu folks post 2008 GE is 1 full minister and 2 deputy ministers. And what did the son do?
8. Terengganu folks just get 1 ministerial post. That's all. Period. For BN Terengganu who stood against the PR onslaught during the GE12, this is not reward but inappreciation of the highest degree, coming from the son. This is what Terengganu folks are rewarded when they handed Terengganu to BN on a silver platter. Compare that to those from Selangor, Perak, Penang, Kelantan, Kuala Lumpur, Kedah and you will understand the frustrations of Terengganu folks.
9. And that was just the beginning. On 24th April 2009, the son aka 1 Malaysia PM6 announced the UMNO state heads. Guess what? Another letdown for Terengganu folks...
10. After the father and the son, comes the third...(read the cousin @ Hishamuddein) who will heads Terengganu UMNO. What did Terengganu folks do to receive this treatment? Terengganu is still under BN, in fact one of BN bastions to hold PR at bay. When Kedah, Perak., Selangor, Penang, Kuala Lumpur, Kelantan falls like dominoes, Terengganu stood tall still hoisting BN flags. And this is the rewards for Terengganu.
11. For me, this unappreciation shown by 1 Malaysia PM 6 needs to be repaid in kind. BN elected reps of Terengganu should just switch sides and form unity government with PR. Send a strong message to Federal - enough is enough! Will Terengganu folks stand up? I don't think so because Terengganu folks has been hoodwinked not once but thrice by the Razak clans. Will Terengganu folks be singing "Let it be" and this time lead by Wan Farid the Terengganu self elected karaoke king? I doubt it for Terengganu folks are easily cowed and threathened and duped by sweet talks.
12. It is either Terengganu folks stand up now and be counted or forever walked with tails between the legs...

Till then...G'nite M'sia...wherever u are...
