Description
Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has been caught in a media crossfire, with his political opponents throwing allegations of corruption in his undervalued purchase of a bungalow in the island-state. For two weeks, defence of the DAP leader's purchase has come in many forms from many cooks, ranging from bad feng shui to being unaware of the property's cost.

This week, we explore how political parties deal with the media, and how they can better deal with the sensitive area of political communication.
