PENANG: Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said Tuesday that the Penang Municipal Council and Seberang Perai Municipal Council will waive all summonses involving hawker licences and parking offences issued before March 11.
Lim made the announcement just hours after being sworn in as Chief Minister.
The government could not estimate how much this involved, but Lim said that the waiver would not affect the councils' operations as it was monies not collected yet.
He said that the new state government will also review the policy of political appointments in the councils, and would look towards restoring local government elections.
Lim also promised that open tenders will be held for all state government procurement and contracts.
