DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke Siew Fook yesterday publicly dismissed allegations by Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow of a plot both internally and externally to topple him. Stating firmly that replacing Chow as Penang Chief Minister is not an issue at all, Loke put to rest wild speculation that began with Chow’s sudden and surprising allegations of a plot to topple him. To-date Chow has not been able to furnish any proof of a plot by DAP members to topple him.
There has been no evidence of any party leaders and members in Penang that are involved in any effort to overthrow Chow as Penang Chief Minister. Such unfounded allegations will only cause confusion amongst the public and detract focus from implementing CAT governance that is competent, accountable and transparent. Should Chow have any proof, then he should furnish such evidence to DAP Secretary-General Loke Siew Fook so that the party can handle it internally in a decisive manner.
