BN Penang In Breach Of Confidentiality And Secrecy Of National Water Agreements Worked Out Between The Penang State Government And The Federal Government.
The Penang state government regrets that BN Penang has chosen to score cheap political points by publicising details of a national water agreement worked out between the Federal and state government. Such agreements are secret in nature and highly confidential, as only either the state or the Federal government have the right to disclose the details of such an agreement.
State Barisan Nasional (BN) working committee chairman Datuk Dr Teng Hock Nan appears to have forgotten that he is no longer the Penang state government. Has Teng forgotten he was rejected by his Pulau Tikus voters and lost in the last general elections? He is also not holding any Federal government position. What right and on whose behalf is he representing in making such announcements that should only come from either the Federal or state government?
