Guan Eng denies DAP membership tied to aid
PENANG, June 25 — Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has denied allegations that elderly folk in the state have to be DAP members to receive aid.
Lim, who is also the party's secretary-general, said his party had never laid down that condition and the aid forms also did not require the elderly to state their party affiliation to get aid.
He said state opposition leader Datuk Azhar Ibrahim's actions in relation to the allegations were slanderous towards the state government.
"He (Azhar) should not commit slander as the form has nothing to do with the DAP and it is issued with the state insignia and not the DAP logo," Lim told reporters today.
He said he wanted Azhar to prove the allegation as reported in the media today or retract his statement and apologise if he could not.
Meanwhile, Lim said the state government will help 300 residents of Kampung Lorong Buah Pala here who have to move out of their homes after failing to get leave to appeal a Court of Appeal ruling.
"A committee has been set up headed by Deputy Chief Minister I Mansor Othman to help and find a resolution," he said.
Yesterday, the efforts of 45 families to retain their village homes ended after their application for leave to appeal the Court of Appeal ruling was rejected by the Federal Court.
Judges Datuk Seri S. Augustine Paul, Datuk Hashim Yusoff and Datuk Wira Mohd Ghazali Mohd Yusoff unanimously rejected the application.
In another development, Lim said the state will organise a competition to design the competency, accountability and transparency (CAT) mascot with participants allowed only one entry each and they had to choose an animal from the cat species to reflect Penang's image.
"Three designers will be selected and each will receive RM1,000, while the winning entry will receive an additional RM1,000," he said.. — Bernama
