GEORGE TOWN: DAP national chairman Lim Guan Eng has slammed Chow Kon Yeow for painting a picture that there were still "plots" to unseat the latter as Penang Chief Minister.
Lim, who is also Bagan MP, said DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke has provided a clear explanation and publicly dismissed any plot, both internally and externally, to topple Chow.
"Loke has put to rest wild speculation that began with Chow’s sudden and surprising allegations of a plot to topple him," he said in a statement Tuesday (Oct 17).
Lim said to date Chow has not been able to furnish any proof of a plot by DAP members to topple him.
He said there has been no evidence of any party leaders and members in Penang involved in any effort to overthrow Chow as Chief Minister.
He said such unfounded allegations will only cause confusion among the public and detract focus from implementing competent, accountable and transparent governance.
He said Chow should furnish proof if he has any to Loke, so that the party can handle it internally in a decisive manner.
Chow had recently said that there were people in and outside of the party who were planning to topple him as Chief Minister.
He then called on those people to respect the decision by the party to name and appoint him as Chief Minister.
