The five PKR assemblypersons who abstained from voting out an Umno motion on reclamation in the last state legislative assembly sitting in November are currently feeling the pressure to change their stance.
It is learnt that tension was high during the pre-council meeting held between Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and the 30 Pakatan Harapan assemblypersons on Komtar’s 28th floor yesterday, which discussed this controversial issue.
A source alleged that the five were given an ultimatum to toe the state government line or risk being labelled responsible for the break-up of Pakatan Harapan in Penang.
