Guan Eng's political sec issues ultimatum to Asli over seats for debate


GEORGE TOWN: The political secretary of Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has issued an ultimatum to the Asian Strategy & Leadership Institute (Asli), the organiser of this Saturday's debate between MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek and Lim, who is also DAP secretary-general.

"Two hundred and fifty DAP members and supporters will be at the debate venue by 4pm. If no seats are allocated, I cannot guarantee what will happen," Ng Wei Aik told reporters at the Chowrasta market here Tuesday morning.

Ng said they had requested 300 seats initially but were only allocated 200.

"Asli's condition is that a list of the 200 names be given and they must register at 8am.

"We cannot agree to this because we do not want to attend the whole day conference. We are only interested in the debate. Hence today, I'm issuing this ultimatum."
