CM: BARISAN FACING HUGE CHALLENGE IN 10 STATE SEATS
PENANG: Barisan Nasional is under tremendous opposition pressure in 10 state constituencies here, said outgoing Chief Minister Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon. He said after three consecutive mandates given by the people to Barisan, a pendulum swing towards the opposition was not unexpected. “This is indeed the greatest challenge Barisan Nasional is facing since 1990 and I have to admit that there’s a very strong opposition wind blowing now,” he told a press conference yesterday. “But I would rather not predict the outcome as it is yet to be known whether the swing is strong enough to translate into actual votes.”
