'Slogan War' in Penang

News coverage of the election mainly features the Barisan Nasional (BN) agenda. However, ocassionally stories covering opposition parties do feature. Some sections of the media have covered a 'slogan war' taking place on the mainly Chinese island of Penang between the PKR and the DAP. It seems to be a bit of clever 'word play' using Chinese characters. Sometimes, like pulling down posters of another party, it can all seem a little bit petty (maybe it's only BN that's allowed coverage of any gravitas). Anyway 'Chinese word-play' doesn't feature in UK politics , so this story makes a change:-
Really I only feature this story as an excuse to include
