Ruckus over Lim’s house purchase


KUALA LUMPUR: Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng was asked in Parliament to explain the sale of a plot of state land originally allocated for low-cost housing projects, causing a ­ruckus.

Datuk Shabudin Yahaya (BN-Tasek Gelugor) claimed that Lim’s purchase of a RM2.8mil house in Jalan Pinhorn, George Town, last year was undervalued and could be linked to a RM11mil land deal meant for low-cost houses in 2012.
