Meet Penang DAP over move to retain BN in state govt, Chow told
DAP adviser Lim Guan Eng says the Penang CM should not assume that delegates endorsed the decision simply because the matter was not raised at the meeting on Wednesday.
DAP's Lim Guan Eng has called on Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow to convene a meeting with Penang DAP to discuss the decision to retain Umno in the state government. Lim believes such a meeting is crucial for Chow to understand the sentiments of Penang DAP leaders, as tensions exist between Umno and DAP at the federal level following recent state elections.
The chief minister should not assume that all Penang delegates supported his decision, as no one raised the issue during Wednesday's meeting, according to Lim. The meeting focused solely on whether DAP should remain in the federal government, not on Umno's role in the state government, Lim added. Chow had previously announced that the Penang PH leadership unanimously decided to maintain its cooperation with Barisan Nasional, retaining Rashidi Zinol as the sole executive councillor for the state.
Lim criticized this move, calling it an unconditional endorsement of Umno's role in the state government and urging the Penang PH leadership to act decisively.
