Another Tsu Koon blunder
May 8, 2008 by lesterchan
Former Penang Chief Minister landed himself in hot soup again. This time, a police report was lodged by members of the Penang Turf Club, accusing the Gerakan Chief of manipulating state affairs to favour the Penang Global City Center’s developer, Abad Naluri Sdn Bhd.
In the police report, Koh’s action was alleged to have caused the Penang state government to lose an estimated RM200 million in revenue, when the state government decidedly re-zone the turf club land to become “mixed development” status on its own.
“What kind of deal is this when the state does not want to make money from its land? Why did Koh help Abad save the money? Isn’t this against state interests?” asked Tan Kok Ping, one of the complainants.

At the rate these scandals are unearthed, I wonder what will be left of Koh Tsu Koon and his Gerakan party by the next general elections.
