The Penang Malaysian Malay Contractors Association today clarified that the apology the association made at a meeting with the Penang chief minister recently was not related to criticisms it had made against the state government previously.
Its president Muhamad Fadzill Hassan said the apology was made to forge greater understanding and towards forgiving each other.
"My apology was because I might hav
e used inappropriate language when making criticisms against the state government, that's all. It does not mean the apology was related to the earlier criticisms made,"
he told reporters in Penang.
He was making the clarification in response to news reports yesterday which stated that Fadzill apologised to Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng (left) over the criticisms made by the association against the state government which concerned the awarding of contracts to bumiputera contractors.
Fadzill added that the meeting was on the invitation of Lim and concerned 46 Malay contractors in Penang who were alleged to be Umno cronies, which he (Fadzill) explained was not the case.
