Motorola, toll issues: Opposition demands answers
- 9 years ago
More questions continue to be posed to outgoing Penang Chief Minister Dr Koh Tsu Koon over the controversial Motorola deal and an impending toll hike at the Penang bridge.
In a joint press conference today, opposition DAP and PKR questioned Koh on his confession yesterday that he had wrote a letter asking the federal government to strike the RM1 billion deal with the American telecommunications giant.
The chief minister said he had done so in order to protect the interest of Penangites and Malaysians, who risked losing up to 10,000 jobs should Motorola - which has a manufacturing facility in Penang's Bayan Lepas Industrial Zone - pull out from the country.
