GEORGE TOWN: As chief executive of the state, Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said he is committed to Penang’s principles of CAT (competent, accountable and transparent) in all dealings.

Chow told the High Court here that this was the reason why he had said a proposal to build a workers’ dormitory on the grounds of the Silver Jubilee Home for the Aged in Sungai Dua must go through due process, including having legal representation for the home.
