Tough task ahead for Chow in forming new Penang exco?

[superadmin]

GEORGE TOWN – Facing a resurgent opposition, Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow now contends with an uphill task in selecting the best names as two deputy chief ministers and eight state executive councillors

Chow, 65, who is fresh into his second term after receiving a two-third mandate over the weekend, had just punched in on his first day on the job when reports emerged of flash floods and unusual storms in the Batu Ferringhi tourism belt.

This time, there was no senior state executive councillor Phee Boon Poh to explain climate change’s ill-effects on Penang.

All eyes are now on Chow as he is expected to unveil the state government line-up within the next several days.
