00:00 Chow Konya said he will take legal action against business tycoon Tan Kok Ping for allegedly

00:07 making defamatory statements against the Penang Chief Minister yesterday.

00:12 Chow said the State Executive Council had unanimously agreed today to sue Tan, who is

00:16 the honorary life president of the Penang Chinese Chambers of Commerce.

00:21 Speaking at a press conference in Mandarin yesterday, Tan labelled Chow as "incompetent,

00:25 ignorant and shameless" for disregarding questions about the sale of a plot of industrial land

00:30 in Batu Kawan.

00:32 Chow later rejected allegations of his failure to answer questions, saying the Penang Development

00:37 Corporation, a state agency which he chairs that was involved in the land sale, had replied

00:41 on the matter.

00:43 Chow said in a brief statement today that the Penang Executive Council viewed Tan's

00:47 remarks as having disgraced and belittled the Chief Minister's office.

00:52 Earlier this month, PCCC raised the issue of land sold by PDC to UMEC Constructions

00:57 in Dirian Berhad at a price below market value, saying it found the directly negotiated deal

01:02 to be unacceptable.
