The officer in-charge of Penang’s Economic Equitable Agenda (or Agenda Ekonomi Saksama - AES) is upset with PKR’s Penanti assemblyperson Norlela Ariffin for failing to refer cases of poverty to him.

Instead of referring the cases to him, AES special tasks officer Ab Wahab Long said Norlela had preferred to seek publicity by making baseless claims in the media.
