GEORGE TOWN: The Penang state executive council, which was sworn in yesterday, is a young and vibrant team capable of taking the state forward, says Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow.
“They are vibrant young professionals. This line-up is capable of spearheading Pakatan Harapan-Barisan Nasional’s challenge right until the next general election,” said Chow, who will be heading the finance, economic development, land and communications portfolio.

If you are talking about debating in Malay, the new generation definitely has better quality with more Bahasa fluency.Ready for the challenges ahead: Chow with the new Penang state executive council members at Komtar. — Pic provided by Buletin Mutiara
