After the spat between Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and Nik Ali Mat Yunus - the federal officer posted to Penang as state development officer (SDO) - the chief secretary to the government concluded: “If he (Nik Ali) was accused with all kinds of untruths and criticised repeatedly, he too, has his dignity. If he did not reply, then people would say that he is guilty. So, it was proper that a clarification was given.”

I disagree with your judgment, Sir!
