Chow Kon Yeow said Penang DAP accepted the names picked by the party’s five-member candidate committee.

BUTTERWORTH: Penang DAP chairman Chow Kon Yeow has downplayed claims that “hidden hands” within the party had dictated the lineup of candidates for the Aug 12 state election.“We accepted the decision ,” he said at a press conference here today. Yesterday, former Bagan Dalam assemblyman M Satees, who was not nominated to defend the seat, claimed “someone” was treating Penang like their personal property and had been given “full rights” to decide on DAP’s candidates for the polls.

Labelling this individual as “the emperor”, Satees claimed that he and five others were not fielded as they were not in the same camp as the individual. He also claimed that they were dropped for being outspoken in supporting incumbent chief minister Chow.
