Lim Waiting For Response From Koh To Meet

(Bernama) BUTTERWORTH, April 13 -- Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng is still waiting for a response from the state's former chief minister, Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon, for a meeting to discuss the state's development.

Lim said he had requested for an appointment to meet Koh several times, but was still unable to meet him.

"The reason given is he (Koh) is still busy. I want to meet him to get his views and ideas to continue with the state's development," he told reporters after opening the Bagan Dalam DAP service centre here today.

Lim said he had met former chief minister Tun Lim Chong Eu on the matter.

In another development, Lim announced the appointment of Bagan Dalam Assemblyman A. Tanasekharan as the State Hindu Endowment Land Board chairman.

Tanasekharan takes over the post from P. K Subbaiyah, who resigned on April 4.
