KUANTAN: Former Penang Island municipal councillor Iszuree Ibrahim yesterday questioned Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming's plan to "consult" Singapore's Housing & Development Board (HDB) in a move to build more affordable homes in Malaysia.

The Penang Pas secretary alleged that when he was part of Pakatan Rakyat's Penang government in 2008, the DAP-led government would every year seek advice from Singapore's People's Action Party to bring in the "divide-and-rule" strategy to Penang.
