GEORGE TOWN: Penang PKR liaison chairman Mansor Othman should act decisively when going after the culprit who allegedly leaked raunchy details of an informal state PKR meeting held earlier this year, said the outspoken Penang Malay Congress president Rahmad Isahak.
The leak found its way to an online news portal before it created a ripple this week after TV3 broadcast a purported recording of a private conversation that Mansor allegedly had with his PKR members concerning the general election and the standing of Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng.
Mansor, the Deputy Chief Minister (I), had allegedly uttered the words “cocky and arrogant” to describe Lim, while also stating that the latter is regarded as a “tokong” (deity) in the eyes of the electorate here.
Rahmad said Mansor needed to act fast while at the same time, in a transparent manner to allay concerns that PKR and DAP are no longer on the best terms in Penang.
“We are also worried as a community that Mansor, being the highest ranked Malay in the state government, is allegedly having problems with Lim.
“Both do not seem to be on the same page. This does not augur well for Pakatan Rakyat.
“This is no laughing matter as the public here are disturbed to hear about the alleged disagreements between PKR and DAP out in the open.
“It does not reflect a sense of confidence that the state government is united in one purpose, which is to serve the people here well after decades of sub par performances by the previous
Barisan Nasional government,” Rahmad said in an interview.
