GEORGE TOWN: Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has declined to be embroiled in a “verbal war” with his predecessor Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon and his assistants on the new Penang Government’s successes in attracting foreign investments.
He said he would not respond to the personal attacks made by Dr Koh and his assistants.
“I do not wish to engage at the level of those who tried to claim credit as the people of Penang can judge this on their own,” he said in response to questions by reporters on the remarks made by Dr Koh’s former political secretary Mark Ooi Swee Hing that Lim had claimed credit for two high-profile foreign direct investments (FDI) into Penang.
