BAGAN MP Lim Guan Eng left the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) building today after being questioned for eight hours.

Today is Lim’s third session with anti-graft officers over the Penang undersea tunnel project.

Lim, who arrived this morning at 10.45am, left the MACC headquarters at 7pm without speaking to the media.

Yesterday the former finance minister was questioned for seven hours while last Wednesday, Lim spent six hours at the MACC headquarters.

This comes after MACC had earlier this month recorded a statement from Chow Kon Yeow, who succeeded Lim as Penang chief minister.

Allegations of corruption concerning the project were first raised by Malaysia Today blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin, a former PKR member.

He had alleged in February and March last year that then Penang chief minister Lim and state excos participated in “criminal collaboration” and received kickbacks in relation to the project.

The excos already questioned by the MACC are Jagdeep Singh Deo, who holds the local government portfolio, Chong Eng (women and family development), Phee Boon Poh (community and welfare) and Lim Hock Seng (works, utilities and transport). – July 26, 2020.
