THE youth wing of Penang Gerakan lodged a police report today against former Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng for allegedly violating his home quarantine order.

Penang Gerakan Youth spokesman Mohd Aswaad Jaafar questioned how Lim could attend the Penang legislative assembly meeting on September 2 when he was ordered to undergo self-quarantine as he was a close contact of a Covid-19 patient.

“According to his lawyer, Lim needed to undergo self-quarantine from September 1 to 10, and could not attend his trial today. But why was he able to attend the assembly meeting on September 2?

“We have lodged a police report regarding this matter and urge the authorities to investigate because it seems like he does not respect the court,” he told reporters after lodging a police report at the Northeast district police headquarters in George Town today.

Northeast district police chief Soffian Santong, when contacted, confirmed that the report has been lodged and that police will conduct investigations.

Lawyer Gobind Singh Deo, who is representing Lim in a corruption case linked to the construction of an undersea tunnel and main roads, had earlier informed the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court that his client had been ordered to undergo self-quarantine for 10 days from September 1 to 10. – Bernama, September 8, 2021.
