Who is being hypocritical now?

My, my, who is being hypocritical now. In Kuala Kangsar, Minister Nazri accused the Opposition of being hypocritical with regards to the sports betting issue. He further added that the decision not to issue the sporting licence was "based on feedback from the people." Gee, since when had the umno government been so accomodating towards the feelings of the people? Did they ever base their feedback of the people when they raise the prices of certain commodities, esp. petrol or toll charges, or building of mega projects, or raping of green lungs? When it suits their plans, its system go, no matter who objects. That is the fact and dont give us this bullshit about listening to the people.
Another case of BN hypocrisy is the RM150,000 arches at the Penang Botanical Gardens which was built by the State Development Office which comes under the Prime Minister's dept. Now that the aches are leaning percariously, Minister Ng Yen Yen announced the ministry's decision to demolish it. Now the hypocricy part of it. Minister Yen said that the decision to demolish the arches was based on an online public opinion poll conducted by the ministry on its website. It found that 71.3% or 873 people of 1225 repondents wanted them demolished. So there you go. Public opinion counts. But lets see how far this will go. Lets see whether they will weigh public opinion when they discuss  the crooked bridge, the new Parliament building, the next round of price increases.
