PETALING JAYA: The Barisan Nasional strategic communications team has questioned the Penang government on its yearly operational costs that have gone up by 500% since DAP took over in 2008.

In a statement on Friday, it said that Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng had neglected to respond to queries on how the state government managed to collect revenue to cover the 500% increase in yearly spending and yet registered a surplus.
