Penang Forum, organiser of a forum themed "Peduli Rakyat" today expressed disappointment that not one of the state's 40 assemblypersons was present to hear the people's woes.

Spokesperson for the NGO, Lim Mah Hui said he had spent two hours last night e-mailing the state elected representatives but only "two or three" had the courtesy to decline his invitation to attend the forum.
