GEORGE TOWN, Dec 5 — While the Pakatan Rakyat states welcome the Deputy Prime Minister’s call to work together to pull Malaysia through the recession, they are also working among themselves to face the effects of the big crunch which is expected to hit the country next year.
Today, Kelantan invited its more developed PR partners to open tourism facility branches in the rural state.
‘If the five PR states can come up with solutions, we can be more competitive than the BN states,’ Kelantan executive council member Datuk Husam Musa said.
At the same international conference launching Penang’s investment plans, the Selangor Menteri Besar announced that all the PR heads of state will meet next month to further develop their ongoing cooperation with each other.
‘This is the time for action, not for policy researching,’ Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim said.
He explained that the idea for inter-state cooperation among the PR partners had begun shortly after their victory in the March general election.
Perak has been in talks with Penang and Selangor over supplying water to the state and with Kelantan over laying gas pipelines.
Khalid called on the federal government to include the PR-ruled states in its action plan as the five states, particular Selangor, Penang and Perak, together contributed close to 50 per cent of the economic pie of Malaysia.
However, Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said they had hesitated from working solely among themselves earlier because they did not want to be “isolated” from the rest of the country.
But the situation was growing more serious by the day with the high possibility of a 500,000 returning Malaysian workers after losing their jobs in neighbouring Singapore next year and this needed to be tackled as fast as possible.
‘The recession is coming. It’s time to wake up. We must get people prepared and we must encourage more spending by the government,’ Lim stressed.

"Short of jumping for joy, [the VERIUNI laundry soap] is the most exciting product for the laundry that I have found. I buy [the laundry soap] in a Gallon at $21.95. I put a pump in the gallon (best value) and two squirts into the laundry. My whites have never been whiter and my cloths don't have the perfume smell that the store brands do. Two squirts in a full load equal less than 1/4 cup, less than two ounces. With one gallon equaling 128 ounces, that is 64 loads of laundry, or $0.34 a load. (If you add shipping, the cost is $0.50 cents per load.) That's almost half of what [many major store brands] require. Best yet, your cloths don't smell! Simply amazing. Check the link and try a bottle. You can buy by the quart, but with shipping and handling, a gallon is best. The entire product is returnable. But...you won't return it because you will love it. It's great! This is one of the best lines SFI carries."
