GEORGE TOWN : Penang chief minister Chow Kon Yeow has dismissed Kedah menteri besar Sanusi Nor’s continuous push for a review of Penang’s annual “lease” payment. Chow said Penang has yet to ascertain what Kedah has been seeking since Sanusi began pushing for a review of the lease in 2021. Sanusi was reported as saying earlier today that Kedah had finalised the legal grounds and historical documentation to push for a review of Penang’s annual “lease” payment, aiming to secure RM300 million annually from the federal government. Some historians previously pointed out that no formal lease document exists, suggesting the “lease” narrative may have stemmed from a historical misunderstanding.
