The investigation papers relating to Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng’s bungalow probe has been returned to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for further action, Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali said.
“After going through the statements submitted in the investigation papers, the AG’s Chambers noted that several actions must be taken to complete the probe,” he said in a statement today.
The investigation papers were handed over by MACC on May 26, 2016.
Mohamed Apandi has also ordered the investigation papers to be returned as soon as possible.
The purchase of the bungalow for RM2.8 million became a controversy after Tasek Gelugor MP Datuk Shabudin Yahaya disclosed in the Dewan Rakyat that the price was below the market value.
It was also claimed that the purchase was connected to the state government's sale of the land in Taman Manggis that had been reserved for a housing project for the poor.
The MACC on May 22, had raided Lim's residence in Jalan Pinhorn, Georgetown.
