GEORGE TOWN, Aug 17 — Penang chief minister Chow Kon Yeow has ordered the state secretary to discuss the issue of the songkok ruling imposed during the state exco swearing-in ceremony yesterday with the Penang governor's office. He said his office held a meeting with the protocol division of the state legislative assembly to further understand the issue this morning. 'Before this, there was no such requirement,' he said. 'We were informed that this requirement was stated in the invitation card but since it (wearing of songkok) was not normally required, some guests may not have noticed it,' he added in a press conference after the launch of the new ferries today.
