BUTTERWORTH: An MCA leader has suggested that the Penang government give the 8ha land it reserved for non-Muslim religious groups in Ampang Jajar here free to them instead of selling it.

Penang MCA organising secretary Dr Tan Chuan Hong (pic) said the state government should give the land generously to non-Muslim groups as a gift to show that it was treating all religions in the state equally.
