LGE started the culture of ultimatums in Penang when he challanged Shariff to come clean on the land scandals of the BN government in Penang. He gave Shariff until 28th April whereupon he threatened to make public the revelations. The 28th April has come and gone with hardly a whimper against the former Umno Deputy CM. The issue has come to pass and and has now been overtaken by the "desperate housewives" debate and the Bakti funds.Land has now become a non issue. Did LGE bite off more than he can chew?
