GEORGE TOWN – Penang Gerakan’s Youth wing today lodged a police report against former chief minister Lim Guan Eng for allegedly violating his home quarantine order.
Its spokesman Mohd Aswaad Jaafar questioned how Lim could attend the state assembly sitting on September 2 when he had been ordered to undergo self-quarantine after being found to be 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 court trial today, but why was he able to attend the assembly sitting on September 2?
“We have lodged a police report regarding this issue, and urge the authorities to investigate because it seems like he does not respect the court,” he told reporters after lodging the report at the Northeast district police headquarters here today.
District police chief Soffian Santong confirmed that a report was lodged, and said investigations will be conducted.
Lawyer Gobind Singh Deo, acting for Lim, earlier told the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court that his client must observe self-quarantine from September 1 to 10.
Lim faces four corruption charges linked to the Penang undersea tunnel project. – Bernama, September 8, 2021
