Penang Island City (MBPP) councillor Lim Mah Hui should not try to gain sympathy by saying he could lose his post for speaking out against the state's Transport Master Plan (TMP), said his colleague Ong Ah Teong.

Ong said Mah Hui had never raised the issue of TMP's impact on George Town's heritage in MPBB meetings.

Nor had Mah Hui provided such information in “black and white” to the National Heritage Department, added Ong (photo, left).

The National Heritage Department together with state agency George Town World Heritage Incorporated (GTWHI) oversee the protection of the heritage areas.
