The Chow Kon Yeow Interview
Posted:08:50 Jun-5-2007 Filed under: DAP (士布爹行动党), Interviews

DAP’s double-term Tanjong MP Chow Kon Yeow is a quiet (some even say shy) person and not a limelight seeker.

If you don’t recognise him — and you probably won’t — and sees him in a kopitiam, he could be mistaken for the nerdy IT geek from the shop next door.

But then, Chow, as he’s known to colleagues, walks softly but carries a big stick.

As Penang DAP’s chairman, his responsibility is to keep his troops fighting fit and ready to face the government in any issues affecting society, leading to the gruelling hand-to-hand battles in the trenches when elections are called.

In this exclusive interview with Politics 101, Chow figures Penang having a Umno CM within 20 years ‘cannot be ruled out’.

Dismissing the Joceline Tan-manufactured myth that DAP Penang has plans to capture the state in the next round, Chow throws a stun grenade at it.
