THE WEAK POINT FOR PR IS PAS! Don't disappoint Christians - Ti tells DAP, PKR while MCA itself does NOTHING!

Penang should take the lead and not continue to mislead the Rakyat particularly the Christian community that the ban on the usage of Allah is entirely BN's fault.
We should acknowledge that there is a divide on this issue involving the Muslims’ fear of confusion which also includes the Islamic and Royal institution.
Lim Guan Eng and DAP had conveniently blamed the Federal Government and implied that it is the Federal Government and the Prime Minister’s failure to act that had caused the impasse and/or legal tussles on the use of Kalimah “Allah”.
However if DAP is sincere in wanting to do justice to the Christians (both in Selangor and Penang), they should be brave to correct the situation politically along the lines of the 10-Point Solution for Sarawak and Sabah.
The political reality is that both in Penang and Selangor, there is Christian vote bank that is crucial in electing the State Government of the day. Now that Pakatan has received near absolute mandate from this pool of Christian votes, why is DAP or Lim Guan Eng avoiding the political duty to right the wrongs. Instead of passing the buck or shifting the blame on MCA, BN or the Federal Government, Lim Guan Eng should do the correct thing in Penang first.
Pakatan ADUNs in Penang have the numbers in the Legislative Assembly to rescind the ban on 40 words including Kalimah Allah by making amendments to their Penang Enactment.
With Christmas and the new year approaching, one cannot help but recall Lim Guan Eng’s 2012 Christmas message where in reference to the terminology “Allah”, he wrote, “for this reason, DAP urges the BN federal government to allow the use of the word “Allah” on the Bahasa Malaysia version of the Bible.”
Since the matter and Enactment is within the state's jurisdiction, why does Lim Guan Eng not have the courage to walk his talk by doing the right thing in Penang?
Pakatan states can remove list of prohibited words from their state Enactments
Lim Guan Eng should now be enlightened that it is the state Enactments in states including Pakatan-controlled states like Selangor and Penang which have prohibited the usage of “Allah”.
I pose to Lim Guan Eng: Since Pakatan wields 30 seats out of 40 seats in the Penang state Assembly, of which only six Pakatan elected reprsentatives are Muslims, I am sure you could easily find the 27 Pakatan state Assemblymen selected representatives (the two-third majority) to vote to repeal the Penang State Islamic Religious Administration Enactment 2004.
The Rakyat in Penang and Selangor have spoken and the political will of the Christians have entrusted their mandate on Pakatan. Where are the actions to fulfill the promises? Where is the spirit of Buku Jingga so cleverly written by Pakatan only for GE13?
Furthermore in Penang, there is no obstacles like in the other Sultanate states. 

Clearly DAP and Lim Guan Eng had been playing to the sentiments of Christians in particular and will again blame the Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Najib Razak or the BN Federal Government whereas they have also tacitly succumbed to the political reality of the day albeit that the Muslim majority in the country have issues that require gentle handlings in order that religious issues do not escalate into a major national problem.
The DAP-led Pakatan Penang state government could just remove those 40 banned words listed via a gazette (in Section 48(3) of that Penang 2004 Enactment) – This move does not require a two-third majority but only a simple majority will do.
The ball is in DAP’s court in Penang and DAP has kowtowed to the political dictates of the minorities in Penang. Clearly DAP has practised political double standards on MCA. Clearly DAP had opted for political expediency instead, so stop shifting blame to MCA, BN or the federal government.
