Chow unlearns lesson of discretion being the better part of valour

Talking of a plot to oust him just when he is embroiled in controversy weakens his standing.

The relationship between DAP chairman Lim Guan Eng and the party’s Penang chief minister Chow Kon Yeow could be equated to a rent garment.That was just what happened when Chow, incumbent chief minister of Penang, decided last weekend to vent his feelings over an alleged plot to oust him.Lim called on Chow to furnish proof of the existence of the plot or else to clamp up.

The tensions stemmed from what was rumoured to be dissatisfaction in the chapter with Chow’s stewardship of the state. Ambiguity over the legality of such a return, given a December 2018 state constitutional amendment that limits a chief minister to two terms – which Lim had already served – only fomented more uncertainty about Chow’s prospects of a second term as CM.

But the party’s slate of candidates for the Aug 12 election had more of Lim’s surrogates than Chow’s placemen.In this circumstance the last thing one would expect is for Chow to be embroiled in a controversy over the sale of land in Batu Kawan at below market rates to a commercial concern.
