A Georgian national, who masterminded a plan to come to Singapore to commit theft, came here with two others and stole currencies worth more than $133,000 (RM461,000) from a money changer.
CHOW Kon Yeow is not a born fighter, but he seems to be fighting for his political survival barely two months after being sworn in for a second term as the Penang Chief Minister.
Neither the Chief Minister nor the PDC management have been able to explain selling 558.96 acres of industrial land in Seberang Prai to a little-known company, Umech Land, which then resold it to the Sunway Group. The deal, as the Penang Chinese Chamber of Commerce has pointed out, does not suggest competency, those behind it cannot account for it and it lacks transparency.Three entities/persons deserve credit for exposing this controversy, namely the business publication The Edge for its comprehensive reports, Ramasamy for focusing attention on the issue and the PCCC for speaking out.
However, the Chinese vernacular media has gone to town on the explosive press conference held by the PCCC that saw its honorary adviser and tycoon developer Tan Sri Tan Kok Ping taking centre stage. Chow chose a dinner gathering of the Heng Ee High School alumni to allude to the plot which he said first surfaced before the state elections.
