The Penang BN appears to be united with Pakatan Rakyat on the issue of
the privatisation of the Penang port to businessman Syed Mokhtar
Al-Bukhary.
The DAP recently launched a campaign urging the port be returned to Penangites after the government had confirmed that Syed Mokhtar (right) won the bid to privatise it and
at a press conference in Penang today, Penang BN chief Teng Chang Yeow
urged the federal government to return the issue of privatisation to
the National Economic Council for review as the deal was not inked yet.
He said, "We will send a delegation to the prime minister to express our views collected from the people."
Trying to distance himself from the possibility of being on
the same page as DAP, Teng quickly said "we do things differently".
When
asked to confirm BN's stand the matter and if the press could infer that the
coalition had a similar stand on the issue, Teng was dodgy but said "you can
infer whatever you want".
