Wow! Luckily this is a Korean trip and not the Mongolian trip. Anyway would the new PM Najib send a delegation on business trip to Mongolia? Many would be surprised if he does.
Recently the Penang State Government went on a trade mission to Korea which came under attack from the oppositions of the State and some bloggers as well.
Malaysiakini reported the response from the Chief Minister
Lim defends Korean trade mission
Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng today took to task critics for making a big fuss on the state's Korean trade mission while being "strangely quiet" over the billion-ringgit scandals at the federal government level. 52-person trip came under fire. Malaysiakini full report here.
These attackers including bloggers simply blast out their dissatisfaction over the trip without actually viewing the whole scenario of the trade mission. They did not weigh the overall advantage of it but select a point of discontention that they feel can arouse the public anger against the State Government.
You can read about the whole Korean trip presented at Jeff Ooi's (MP for Jelutong ) Blog.
A strip from his blog, where these attackers can find the answers to their questions.
I hope Gerakan and Umno should stop insulting our private sector by accusing them of wasting taxpayers' money, because their combined 42-member delegation was paid for through their own pockets.
Guan Eng appeared alongside representative speakers from France, Russia and Hong Kong-based Indonesian enterprise. To be CAT about it, his travel and accommodation expenses were paid for by the host, Korea Tourism Organisation (KTO).
