Bungalow issue: MACC will definitely haul up Guan Eng

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) gave assurance that Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng will be called in for investigations into the purchase of the RM2.8 million bungalow in Jalan Pin Horn, George Town.

MACC Deputy Chief Commissioner (Prevention) Datuk Mustafar Ali said the agency had planned to call Guan Eng to facilitate and complete the investigations.

"Our Operations Division will set the suitable time (to call Guan Eng)," he answered briefly Sunday when asked when Lim would be hauled up for investigation into the purchase of the property at a price far below the market value of between RM6 million and RM6.5 million.

The MACC began investigating the allegation immediately after receiving a report on it, but after nearly a month, Lim has yet to be called to record his statement, which had raised questions among the public.

Mustafar was met after launching a MACC community programme held in collaboration with the Kuantan Municipal Council (MPK) here.

Also present was MPK president Datuk Fadzilla Salleh.
