Tengku Adnan said he had received a call from the police after Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng made a police report today asking him to explain the statement that the MP regarded as unfounded and serious.

“The police will come to see me or I will be asked to see them to give a statement. No problem,” he said to reporters after attending a Chinese New Year open house organised by his ministry here.

Tengku Adnan, who is better known as Ku Nan, hit out at the opposition for allegedly not having read his statement in full and causing a misunderstanding among the people.

“I said all communities were being marginalised in Penang, but they (the opposition) picked up only the Malays part. Please read my statement properly.

“Besides, I said how I wish I could take Penang, Langkawi and a part of Malacca (to be made federal territories). I didn’t say I will take only Penang.

“In the federal territories, we can provide affordable housing for the people and can reduce their constraints of living. We walk the talk. They (opposition) don’t walk the talk. They feel it when they have done wrong,” he said.
