Umno has no more value

Lim Guan Eng says Umno brings nothing to Penang's unity government while simultaneously working with opposition parties PN and PAS.

Chow criticized for wrong target

Lim says Penang PH chairman Chow Kon Yeow focused on criticizing him instead of responding to Umno's attacks on PH.

“Instead of hitting back at Umno for working with the opposition PN, Chow chose to criticise me”

Umno boasted about defeating DAP

Umno claimed it helped defeat DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook in Negeri Sembilan's Chenaah seat, giving DAP leaders reason to rebut.

No gag order on DAP

Lim says Chow may want DAP leaders silent, but there's no gag order from party leadership to stop them responding to Umno.

PH holds supermajority without Umno

Even without Umno's two assemblymen, PH would still command a two-thirds majority in Penang's legislative assembly.

Umno clings to government positions

Lim claims Umno holds onto state executive council seats, city council positions and state-linked company roles because leaving would have little political impact.

The enemy within

Keeping Umno could damage public perception of Penang PH's leadership. Lim warns the coalition must recognize the greatest enemy is the enemy within.

“PH Penang leaders should wake up to the reality that there is no more value for Umno to remain in the Penang state government”
