PENANG, 7 FEB, 2010: Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng claims that more stalls belonging to the Malays were demolished by the previous Barisan Nasional (BN) administration compared to the present administration under the opposition coalition.

"I wish to clarify that the number of Malay stalls demolished under the BN administration from 2006 to 2007 was 100 per cent more compared to the number demolished by the opposition coalition from 2008 to 2010," he told reporters, here today.

Lim, who is also DAP general secretary, said what was being done to the government under his leadership now was the result of slanders being spread by the state Umno.

He said the state government was now making efforts to convey correct information to the people in the state so that they were not deceived by the wrong information that was being spread.

Lim is now facing strong criticisms from several Members of Parliament from Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) in the state, where the PKR is a member party of the opposition coalition, on the issue of demolition of stalls belonging to Malay traders in Penang, besides being described as a chauvinist, communist-minded and treating the state PKR like a 'dog'.
