Penang PH-BN cooperation based on consensus, including DAP, says Chow
BUTTERWORTH: The decision to maintain cooperation between Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional in Penang was made through a consensus among all component parties, including DAP, says Penang PH chairman Chow Kon Yeow.
The Penang PH-BN cooperation is based on consensus among all component parties, including DAP, according to Penang PH chairman Chow Kon Yeow. This decision was made by the Penang PH Leadership Council, which includes the state chairs of Amanah, PKR, and DAP. During their respective party meetings, they presented their positions on retaining the PH-BN cooperation in Penang, which involves only one executive councillor.
The PH Leadership Council then reached a decision based on the consensus of all parties within PH. Chow also addressed concerns raised by DAP adviser Lim Guan Eng, who suggested convening another internal meeting of Penang DAP delegates to gauge their stance on the state PH leadership's support for Umno's role in the state government.
Chow clarified that Penang DAP had not held an internal meeting on the matter, but the party's stance was presented by Steven Sim during the state PH meeting, which was in line with the united stance of state Amanah chairman Muhammad Faiz Fadzil and PKR State Leadership Council chairman Datuk Dr Mohamad Abdul Hamid.
