The Pakatan Rakyat-led Penang government has been refused advertising space for its poverty eradication programme by a prominent Malay languange daily.
It was told by Harian Metro that the daily would not sell advertising space to opposition parties.
"The state government wanted to purchase advertisement for our poverty eradication programme, to eradicate poverty by this year and to get the low income families to register...
"We went to Harian Metro and they said as the advertisement is from an opposition Pakatan Rakyat government, they would not accept it," Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng lamented at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.
Speaking after launching DAP's Internet channel UbahTV, Lim saidHarian Metro maintained its stand even when informed that the advertisements were not political and were from the state government.
"This is strange in Malaysia... we want to give people money, they don't want," Lim added.
