GEORGE TOWN: Gerakan has slammed Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng for claiming that all the roads in the state which were in bad condition were federal roads, for which the Penang government had no jurisdiction. Claiming that there were many state roads which were in deplorable condition, Penang Gerakan Youth secretary Teo Yin Horng said Lim’s statement was “completely false”. “Our checks on numerous roads in the state revealed that most of the roads in bad condition were under the state government’s purview. Teo also took Lim to task for not taking responsibility for the roads in the state, whether or not they were state or federal roads. “Lim fails to understand that the state would get the bad name if any of the roads in the state was in bad condition.
