BUTTERWORTH, Feb 5 (Bernama) -- Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin
Yassin today said, Penang Barisan Nasional chairman (BN) Teng Chang
Yeow can be a candidate for the post of Chief Minister if BN recapture
Penang.
He said, this was not an announcement, but claimed BN had qualified leaders to run the state better.
"BN has many plans to develop Penang, including building more affordable homes to overcome the problem of housing in the state, and also numerous other development projects.
"Currently, many development projects planned under the federal government's agencies or departments face problems to get approval from the state government, as such, give BN the chance to administer the state again for the security of the people," he said.
He said this in his speech after launching the Blue Wave campaign and 1Malaysia People's Gathering at the Taman Inderawasih Secondary School field in Perai, here, Tuesday night.
Teng, 48, is former state exco, and had been appointed to become state BN chairman last year by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to replace Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Tan Sri Koh Tsu Koon.
Also present were Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop, Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen and Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam.
About 30,000 people attended the launch.
Muhyiddin stressed that all plans which had been implemented by the federal government under the transformation programme had achieved great success and the benefits were shared with the people.
