Political Deadlock Over RM6.3 Billion Penang Undersea Tunnel Project
What happened
Mike Chong Yew Chuan compared Mohd Ridhuan Tee Abdullah's refusal to debate to a prior instance where Lim Guan Eng declined a debate with MCA regarding the RM6.3 billion Penang undersea tunnel project, citing rank as the reason for the refusal. This refusal to debate the tunnel project was a recent event in George Town.
