PH ready to face BN-PN alliance in Penang, says Chow
The state PH chairman says the alliance can make its way into the state through Nibong Tebal, Kepala Batas, Bukit Mertajam and eventually the island.
Penang's Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Chow Kon Yeow has expressed preparedness to confront a potential alliance between Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN) in the upcoming general election. This coalition, according to Chow, showcased its strength by securing 24 out of 28 seats in the recent Melaka state election.
The PH chairman believes that if this alliance extends its reach to Penang, the challenge could start from Nibong Tebal, Kepala Batas, and Bukit Mertajam, ultimately heading to the island. Chow emphasized that Penang's strength and support must not be underestimated, but the PH remains committed to addressing this formidable challenge.
He stated that the party will take immediate steps to ensure readiness for the next state election. As the chief minister, Chow also highlighted the need for the PH to deliver on its promises and maintain public support in the months leading up to the election. Chow criticized the political scenario where federal allies are competing against each other at the state level.
He pointed out that PH and BN are partners in Putrajaya and the state governments in Selangor, Penang, Perak, and Pahang, while PH is in opposition in the BN-led governments in Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, and Johor. Chow also expressed disapproval of PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang's remarks on non-Muslim leadership, urging Hadi to apologize for the unacceptable portrayal of non-Muslims as cruel and evil.
