Penang govt slammed for maligning groups over hill issues

GEORGE TOWN: The Penang Government has drawn the ire of the Malaysian National Human Rights Society (Hakam) on hill development issues.

Hakam president Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan and deputy president Prof Gurdial Singh Nijar issued a press statement yesterday on behalf of their executive committee to refute Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng’s statement that Penang Forum had “fallen into the misinformation trap set up by Barisan Nasional and some media who are anti-government”.
