GEORGE TOWN: Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow today joined his Sabah counterpart in denying that Putrajaya had consulted state governments on its plan to relax restraints for businesses under the conditional movement control order .
He said the SOP was to have been released once all state governments had been given a chance to submit their feedback. According to him, however, that chance never came. He also hit out at Azmin, who yesterday warned state governments over non-compliance with the CMCO, asking if the senior minister had been too “lazy” to obtain a consensus on the matter.“Azmin Ali, you decide if you want to work with us,” he said.
At the press conference today, Chow said Putrajaya’s date of May 4 was too early for Penang as it was the most densely populated state in the country and at risk of higher virus spread.
