Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng struck out today at those he described as a small ‘racist’ segment of people who he claimed had selectively disclosed documents to suggest his government had cancelled the ' Maulidur Rasul ' (Prophet Muhammad’s birthday) procession.

Speaking to reporters after attending the state government’s Chinese New Year open house at Komplex Tun Razak (Komtar) in Georgetown, Lim set his sights on Utusan Malaysia and Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin for seeking to stoke communal tensions over the matter.
