Not everyone is aware that the Penang Malay Chamber of Commerce (DPMMPP) has had three current office bearers successively appointed to an allotted seat in the Penang Island Municipal Council (MPPP) since 2008. Ironically, a DPMMPP leader was involved in the racially charged protest over allegedly discriminatory Council enforcement action against Malay hawkers and food-stalls operators on Penang Island on Friday, 5 February. The Penang government had allotted one seat to the DPMMPP and another to the Penang Chinese Chamber of Commerce in the MPPP. For 2008, the DPMMPP rep in the Council was Rizal Faris Mohideen, currently the head of DPMMPP. (Rizal was one of the speakers at the protest on Friday.) His successor as MPPP councillor in March 2009 was Yasir Hafiz Munawar Ali, currently the DPMMPP honorary assistant secretary. The present rep in the Council is Ali Akhbar Mohd Noor, a businessman and DPMMPP exco member. The Anwar trial continues but is then abruptly adjourned to tomorrow after Karpal Singh applies for the judge to be recused. |
