Yesterday, Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow had asked the duo to make a stand, following the party’s departure from PH, recently.
He stressed that no action would be taken against the duo for now, but indicated that they may be asked to vacate their seats, which could trigger a by-election due to the state’s Anti-Hopping law, if they fail to support the present state administration.With the duo making their stand to support PH, it will be status quo for the state legislative assembly.
After chairing the weekly state executive council meeting on Wednesday, Chow had said that Penang was back to being an opposition state due to the change in administration at the federal level.
