Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said he would continue with efforts to administer and develop Penang despite the various accusations hurled at him.

"I will not bow to pressure and will continue to administer the state to bring it to greater heights," he told reporters after the monthly staff assembly of the Penang Development Corporation today.

Lim, however, declined to answer or comment on accusations that were hurled at him.

"Let the people evaluate," he added.

Lim said efforts to topple the state government would not succeed because the opposition pact - comprising PKR, DAP and PAS - remained strong.

"There may be some individuals in the opposition pact who are not happy. These people are those whose hearts are outside the party," he added.

Lim has been criticised by Bayan Baru member of parliament Zahrain Mohamed Hashim as being a dictator, chauvinistic and communist-minded.

Another PKR leader, Nibong Tebal member of parliament Tan Tee Beng described Lim as arrogant and should be removed as the Penang chief minister.
