00:01Former Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has defended his public criticism of his successor Chao Konyao over the state's
00:09quit-rent hikes, saying he only resorted to that after exhausting all internal mechanisms.
00:15In a Facebook post, the Ayaputte Assemblyman welcomed DAP Secretary-General Lok Siu-fuk's intervention in their public spat and
00:24promised not to issue any further statements until a meeting is held between him, Chao and Lok.
00:31Lim sought to assure the affected landowners that his service centres will remain open to assist them in appealing against
00:39the quit-rent hike, including filing the appeal forms.
00:43Earlier today, Lok ordered both Lim and Chao to put an end to their public spat over the matter, describing
00:50it as unhealthy and inappropriate.
00:52The DAP Secretary-General slammed Lim for taking a highly inappropriate approach to the issue, saying he should understand the
01:00importance of maintaining party discipline.
01:02Lok also said Chao should take serious note of the concerns raised as they involve public interests and reflect grievances
01:10from various stakeholders.
