PKR is still not convinced that snap elections are necessary in Penang.

Party president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail however said PKR is still open for dialogue on the matter and will send a high-level delegation to make its stand known to DAP.

"After thorough discussion, including taking into account the views of civil society, the meeting had concluded unanimously that PKR is still not convinced with the proposal (to hold snap elections)," Wan Azizah said in her statement to the media, after the party's central leadership council meeting in Petaling Jaya tonight.

When asked how long PKR would be in talks about the snap polls, Wan Azizah did not reply.

Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng is mulling the possibility of holding snap polls, but is seeking consensus from his partners in Pakatan Harapan.

This comes weeks after he was slapped with two counts of corruption.

Amanah had already said that it agreed to the snap polls, leaving PKR as the only Harapan partner still undecided on the matter.

Previously, Penang Deputy Chief Minister II P Ramasamy told Malaysiakini that DAP had shortlisted two options in response to the corruption charges.

Ramasamy said one was to call for a snap election to gauge the people's response to the charges, while the other was to wait for the general election to be called, no later than August 2018.

Lim is charged with approving the rezoning of a plot of land in Balik Pulau from agriculture to residential use, which the prosecutors said was done to benefit one of the landowners, businesswoman Phang Li Koon.

Lim chaired the state planning committee that approved the rezoning, which was later rejected by the Penang Island City Council.

Phang is also the previous owner of the bungalow on Jalan Pinhorn, which Lim purchased for RM2.8 million, purportedly at below its market value.

Phang has also been charged, together with Lim, with abetting him in purchasing the property at below market value, which is an offence in the Penal Code for a public official.
