BUTTERWORTH, Sept 16 — The technological revolution needs to be handled wisely for the sake of national unity, said Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow.
According to him, the development and sophistication of technology can influence habits and lifestyles, and as such, it was advisable for all parties to use it wisely.
“In a multi-racial society that is rich in cultural and background diversity, we are still celebrating differences and rejecting disagreements that can damage this multi-racial harmony.

The event was also attended by Yang Dipertua Negeri of Penang Tun Abdul Rahman Abbas and wife Toh Puan Majimor Shariff, Penang State Assembly Speaker Datuk Law Choo Kiang and State leaders.
