The Penang government is mulling legal action against the Election Commission (EC) for rejecting its objections against the latest redelineation exercise of the EC.

Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said the EC's failure to draw new boundaries for constituencies in Penang has resulted in the Paya Terubong state seat with about 41,707 voters, compared with 12,752 voters in his Air Putih seat.

The state is yet to receive the official notice from the EC on this, says the chief minister.
