CHIEF Minister Chow Kon Yeow has urged everyone inside and outside the party (DAP) to come together and support his government’s Penang2030 vision, his brainchild that was introduced when he took office as the chief minister in 2018.
Chow, who is serving his final term as chief minister, has told those who are thinking of creating an issue (plot to oust him) to forget about it as the party officially endorsed him as the candidate to lead the state following the recent state polls.
“Before the state election, there were attempts to replace the chief minister.
“Although I was not replaced, I said there could be challenges ahead.
“As for those thinking of creating an issue (plot to oust me), I say better not because my position was decided by the party.
“So, under this context, I encourage all to come and work together with the government.
“We have many plans under the Penang2030 vision, but we need everyone to support the chief minister who has been endorsed by the party,” Chow said during a press conference at Penang Institute in George Town today.
Earlier today, DAP national chairman Lim Guan Eng, who is also the former Penang chief minister, called on Chow to provide evidence regarding those allegedly plotting to topple him.
In a related development, when asked about possible threats from external forces, Chow said he is focused on his role and the agenda related to the Penang2030 vision.
