GEORGE TOWN: Penang Gerakan challenged DAP’s Pulau Tikus assemblywoman Yap Soo Huey today to show proof that the Siamese-Burmese village was re-zoned from cultural to commercial land in 1996.
Penang Gerakan secretary Oh Tong Keong said he had documents to prove that the 169-year-old village was not re-zoned in 1996. Oh wants Yap to produce documents to prove her claims that the village had been re-zoned in 1996.
“We have evidence to prove that she had misrepresented the facts and is not sincere on the issue.”
“But the onus is on her to produce evidence first since she started to point fingers at us,” said Oh at a press conference here today. On Monday, Oh gave Yap a 24-hour ultimatum to tell the truth about the Siamese village land conversion.
Last week, Yap claimed that the village land was converted from a cultural zone to a commercial zone in 1996 under the previous Barisan Nasional administration. She had demanded that Gerakan, then the ruling party, explain the conversion.
