GEORGE TOWN - Former Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has urged his successor Chow Kon Yeow to furnish proof of the alleged plot to oust him as the state's top executive.
Lim said that till now, there is no evidence to indicate that there is a plot to undermine Chow as the chief minister of the state.
"There is no evidence to indicate the involvement of any leader or members from DAP as part of the movement to dethrone Chow as the chief minister."
In a statement, Lim said that the baseless claims by Chow will only cause confusion and shift attention away from the focus of administering the state government in an efficient, trustworthy and transparent manner.
"If Chow has evidence, he should surrender it to the DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke Siew Fook to ensure the party can address and resolve the issue internally and decisively."
Lim, who is the DAP chairman, said Loke had openly rejected Chow's claims over a plot which allegedly consisted of both internal and external elements to oust him as the chief minister.
"Loke mentioned that there was no such thing and that it was Chow who had initiated such a thing in the first place."
Till today, Chow has yet to provide the necessary evidence, said Lim.
Chow, who is the Padang Kota assemblyman, had alleged in a speech at a school anniversary dinner last Saturday that there was a plot to replace him.
Chow reportedly also urged for the party to consolidate and close ranks behind him, as it was DAP who had anointed him as the chief minister - The Vibes, October 17, 2023.
