GEORGE TOWN: A Pakatan Harapan candidate has blamed Barisan Nasional for the sale of the inner city’s many pre-war houses to foreigners.

Its Pengkalan Kota candidate Daniel Gooi from DAP said it was not the Pakatan state government which repealed the Rent Control Act 1966 but Gerakan and MCA under the Barisan coalition.
