‘Come, Tsu Koon. Let’s get on with it’

(Bernama) – Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng is ready “anytime and anywhere” to take on Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Dr Koh Tsu Koon in a live telecast debate without pre-conditions.

The DAP secretary-general told reporters today that he could debate with the Gerakan president, even at the Gerakan or Umno headquarters, provided there was no condition.

Lim said the debate on the Kampung Buah Pala issue should go on without any condition, when commenting on the status of the highly-anticipated debate between the two leaders.

Nevertheless, the chief minister said there was no necessity to de-classify minutes of the state executive council meeting on the Kampang Buah Pala issue as requested by Koh.

“The current state government did not make a single decision in favour of the cooperative or developers…I did not sign any document in favour of any party, so there is no point in de-classifying the minutes,” he said.

Earlier, state Gerakan Youth vice-chairman H’ng Khoon Leng said, de-classifying the minutes would show the DAP-led government as betraying the Kampung Buah Pala residents.
