Guan Eng: Tough measures taken to protect ‘star power’ of Penang food


PETALING JAYA: The immense “star power” of Penang street food is reason enough for the state to do all it can to protect it, even if it means taking tough measures, said Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng.

In a lengthy statement yesterday, the DAP MP for Bagan argued that banning foreigners from being the chief or principal cooks for Penang street food by 2016 is neither discriminatory nor bigoted.
