Guan Eng: No state land for DAP reps - NST

By : Audrey Dermawan

GEORGE TOWN: DAP elected representatives in Penang will not be allowed to apply for state land.

Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said he would not entertain any such application and he would take action against those who persisted in doing so.

He said the decision was reached following a meeting with all seven DAP members of parliament and 19 assemblymen here on Saturday.

Lim said those who wanted to own land should submit their applications through the normal channel and these would be processed according to the law.

"We have decided that all our elected representatives will not be allowed to have any dealings in land matters in the state.

"This is our commitment to the people," he said after a visit to the Air Itam market yesterday.
