Wives of Penang assemblymen, MPs take PBT issue to RoS

sun2surf - The wives of the new government's assemblymen and MPs will be filing a formal request with the Registrar of Societies (RoS) regarding the status of Persatuan Bunga Tanjung issue (PBT) tomorrow.

Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, who announced this during a press conference today, declined to divulge further details except that the wives of the assemblymen and MPs will hold a press conference about it.

As for PBT ex-president Puan Sri Chui Kah Peng's allegations that Lim had insulted and demean women by his statement "leave the poor lady alone", Lim responded that it was just an English expression which means "don't make it hard for her".

"There is nothing derogatory about it. I think they know what I mean," he said.

Lim also read out transcripts of what he had said on that day to prove his point:

"Maybe we need the former Chief Minister to clarify. I do not want to mention Puan Sri. She may not be familiar with the rules required to follow. I do not want to blame her. She may get advice from the adviser. Otherwise, why do we need advisers? I don't think we should go for the poor lady. Let's leave the poor lady alone."
