Lim Guan Eng arrested, to be charged tomorrow!
PUTRAJAYA: Former Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng has been arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in connection with the undersea tunnel project. He will be charged tomorrow.
The DAP secretary-general and former finance minister will be charged at the Kuala Lumpur special corruption court tomorrow morning under Section 16 (a)(A) of the MACC Act 2009.
And on Aug 10, he will be charged under Section 23 of the same act at the Penang Sessions Court.
However MACC did not provide details of the charge.
Lim had earlier arrived at the MACC headquarters here at 9.10pm.
Lim, who is also the Bagan MP, had been called in by MACC several times in recent weeks over the agency’s
investigation into the RM6.3 billion undersea tunnel and highways project that forms part of the Penang Transport Master Plan.
Last month, MACC chief Azam Baki said the investigation was centred on possible money laundering. He said he expected the investigation to end in two to three weeks.
LGE's biggest mistake was trusting a Melayu contractor too wholeheartedly.
