Controversy a-brewing over Guan Eng’s trip to Xiamen


GEORGE TOWN: A controversy is brewing over Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng’s recent official trip to Xiamen and Hainan in China with a delegation which included his wife, several state executive councillors and their spouses.

Although Lim said state law “used before 2008” allowed spouses to accompany state exco members on foreign trips once a year, the Penang MCA responded by saying that the CM had previously criticised Barisan Nasional leaders for doing so.
