Umno to make comeback in Penang


Despite earlier talk that Umno’s Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican would be made Penang Deputy Chief Minister, it looks like PKR’s Datuk Dr Mohamad Abdul Hamid (left) and DAP’s Jagdeep Singh Deo will now fill the two posts. An Umno man, however, will be named to the exco.
