Minor shuffle for Penang DAP, with CM Chow to stand in Batu Kawan
GEORGE TOWN – DAP seems to have opted to play safe in Penang despite speculation it is orchestrating “surgical changes” to its parliamentary candidate line-up in the state.
The party’s leadership has maintained the status quo for four of the seven federal seats it holds in the state.
The four retained are R.S.N. Rayer (Jelutong), Ramkarpal Singh (Bukit Gelugor), Steven Sim Chee Keong (Bukit Mertajam), and chairman Lim Guan Eng (Bagan).
Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow will contest Batu Kawan on the mainland after having served as MP for Tanjong for four terms.
Lim Hui Ying, younger sister of Guan Eng, will stand in Tanjong, while Seri Delima assemblyman Syerleena Abdul Rashid will run for the Bukit Bendera federal seat.
