PARTI Cinta Malaysia (PCM) vice-president Huan Cheng Guan has been slapped with another legal notice from the lawyers of Consortium Zenith Construction Sdn Bhd, the contractor of the Penang undersea tunnel and highways project.

Consortium Zenith’s lawyers from Harjinder and Associates informed Huan in a January 23 notice that he had breached an injunction order that disallows him from making remarks about the project.

In September last year, Consortium Zenith was granted an injunction by the Penang High Court to stop the PCM leader from making statements about the project.

“Pursuant to your statements made on January 5, 2018 during the press conference at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission office in Putrajaya of which was reported by The Sun daily, we hereby put you on notice pursuant to Order 53 of the Rules of Court 2012 that you are in breach of the Injunction Order and we shall proceed to pursue committal proceedings against your goodself of which the cost shall be borne by you,” read the legal letter.

Huan posted a picture of the legal letter addressed to him and his lawyer Baljit Singh and Company on his Facebook page this evening.

“Huh! Sent me another legal letter, saying I am in contempt of court. I too want to know how I had offended the court.

“Or is this to shut me up? ‘Lawan tetap lawan lah.’ (A fight is a fight). I am never shaken. I will speak up for Penangites,” he wrote on Facebook.

On January 5, Huan reportedly submitted evidence to MACC at its national headquarters to assist investigation into the tunnel project.

He told reporters the evidence was related to the 19.5km Pan Island Link 1 highway that would cost the Penang government RM7.5 billion.

“The public cannot afford to pay RM7.5 billion for a state development project. We’re hoping that with the new evidence, MACC will probe the matter accordingly as at RM385 million per km, the highway will be the most expensive in Malaysia by more than double.

“The Penang government has not replied to the reports made against them. They claim to practise transparency but until now they have not provided any explanation on why the project took five years just to research,” Huan was quoted as saying by The New Straits Times.

Four days later, MACC raided four state government agencies and three companies involved in the project.

Two directors – one each from Consortium Zenith and a development firm that has business dealings with the former – were subsequently remanded to assist investigations. More people have been remanded and premises raided since.

Earlier this week, Huan also received a death threat via a text message that read: “Cakap banyak kau mati!!!” (talk so much, you die). He had since lodged a police report. – January 26, 2018.
