BUTTERWORTH: Penang MCA chairman Datuk Tan Teik Cheng has criticised the Pakatan Harapan state government over its alleged failure in addressing the flood problems affecting Kampung Pertama vegetable farmers.

"The vegetable seedlings that were originally thriving were washed away after the floods where 40 vegetable farmers were left speechless and suffered heavy losses,” said Teik Cheng, who is also MCA vice-president.
