Penang is a success because of me

Ex-CM Koh Tsu Koon trying hard to claim brownie points for himself

Bernama reports that the achievements enjoyed by the current Penang government are due to efforts carried out by the Barisan Nasional (BN) state government previously.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon who said this, cited the development of health tourism in Penang as one of the achievements of the previous state government.

"Health tourism has developed here since 1996 through the state and federal government's establishing cooperation in this area with Indonesia.

"As a result, Penang has been receiving the highest number of tourists in this sector. This does not happen only now but since then (1990's," he said in his speech at the Penang BN Chinese New Year open house, here, Sunday.

Koh, who is also Penang BN chairman, said the previous state government under his leadership had provided a strong foundation and platform for the present state government to manage the state.
