GEORGE TOWN: The war of words between Penang Gerakan and Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng continues with Lim being called unprincipled and inconsistent in his stand.
Penang Gerakan Assistant Secretary Goh Kheng Sneah said when Singapore Mentor Minister Lee Kuan Yew visited Penang in June, Lim had compared Penang and Singapore in terms of development.
"However, when we said that under the Barisan Nasional-led (BN) government, Penang traditionally competed with Singapore for investments in the manufacturing sector, Lim said Gerakan was living in a different planet and that it was Malaysia which was competing with the island republic, and not Penang," said Goh in a statement.
Goh said by the same logic of Lim, the DAP-led state government was also living in a different planet, because he and other DAP leaders such as Jeff Ooi and Danny Law always have compared Penang with Singapore in terms of development to discredit the previous BN-led state government.
"Is Lim saying Penang should not compete with Singapore for investments? What is his benchmark then?" asked Goh.
Goh also accused Lim of making contradictions in his speeches at his whims and fancies and to suit his own taste.
