Embattled Gerakan president Koh Tsu Koon has received another blow over
his taking credit for Penang's recent economic successes, this time from
former Penang party stalwart, Lee Kah Choon, who said that Koh may be "sleep talking"
when the latter said that investment decisions takes time to be made,
implying that he was responsible for the state's current economic success.
Lee (left),
who is Invest Penang chairperson and former Gerakan Jelutong MP, said, "It's "ridiculous" to
suggest that investment decision takes years to make in this modern age. By then the technology will be obsolete, the product will not fit into the supply chain for the overall manufacturing process."
In a press
statement today, Lee said, "Taking
years to make a decision) is against the Just In Time (JIT) philosophy
the manufacturing world is practising currently."
Lee added, saying, "All in all, if any deal is to be struck, it will be done within12 months."
Yesterday, an online news site quoted Koh, the four term Penang CM prior to 2008, accusing his successor, Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng for "unfairly" claiming credit that should be rightly attributed to Barisan Nasional, complaining that the "solid foundation" of various projects initiated by his administration was handed over to Lim when Pakatan Rakyat took over the state and blaming Lim for “skilfully using” the media to claim credit for the success handed down from the former Gerakan administration.
