Business group takes on Penang CM

IT is quite rare for a body like the Penang Chinese Chamber of Commerce (PCCC) to take an adversarial stance against the state government.

But that was what happened at a hard-hitting press conference earlier this week when PCCC president Datuk Seri Hong Yeam Wah demanded that the Chief Minister explain the controversial land deal between the state government and a private company, Umech Construction Sdn Bhd.
