Penang state exco and state DAP leader Chow Kon Yeow asks BN and its media allies to stop fuelling racial discontent.
PETALING JAYA: Penang state exco Chow Kon Yeow today defended the DAP-led state administration from accusations of racial bias and urged Barisan Nasional to look at bigger problems such as graft.
“As far as the mainstream media are concerned, it is easier to attack Penang than investigate more serious forms of abuse of power and corruption in Barisan Nasional-governed states,” said the state DAP chairman.
The Tanjong MP and Padang Kota state assemblyman cited examples of how little discourse there has been on Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud’s “rule” in the state.
Likewise, he added, there was also a “blackout” on the subject of defence procurements, especially with regards questionable commissions paid out in the purchase of Scorpene submarines.
‘Penang neither anti-Malay nor anti-Chinese’
