Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has expressed doubts about Umno's dedication to maintaining unity within the state's coalition government, following remarks by Umno's Reezal Merican. The criticism came during a public address in George Town, where Lim challenged Reezal's comments on the relationship between Umno and the DAP. Lim's questioning highlights growing concerns over the stability of the coalition, which has been a key factor in Penang's political landscape. The tension between the two parties has intensified in recent months, with disagreements over policy and governance. Reezal's remarks, which were seen as critical of the DAP's role in the coalition, have sparked a backlash from Penang's ruling party. Lim's response underscores the challenges of maintaining political harmony in a multi-party setup, as both parties navigate differing priorities and strategies. The situation reflects broader tensions within Malaysia's political arena, where coalition dynamics often shape the direction of governance. (nst.com.my)
