Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi today urged Gerakan to retake the Penang government, telling the party's delegates that the recent Penang floods were a sign from God that the state was ripe for the taking.
“It is not impossible. It can be done. God had smitten those who thumped their chest claiming that Penang is free from floods.
"What happened is a sign from God that this is the best time for us to retake the Penang government,” he said in his opening speech at the 46th Gerakan National Delegates' Conference today.
His speech came just after the deadly floods that hit the state last Saturday as a result of the tropical disturbance.
The floods had left at least seven dead, and the relief centres were only closed yesterday after the water had fully receded.
