PETALING JAYA: Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng's efforts to expose all previous incidents of corruption and mismanagement must go back to the time of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's tenure as the fourth Prime Minister, said MCA.
The party's publicity spokesman, Datuk Seri Ti Lian Ker, said Lim must be impartial and "not leave any stone unturned".
"This would mean having to expose all the alleged wrongdoings, abuse of power and corruption-related incidents linked to Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Tun Daim Zainuddin and also Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim," he said.
The three leaders were former finance ministers before Datuk Seri Najib Razak took over as prime minister and finance minister in 2009.
Ti said Dr Mahathir, Daim and Anwar were allegedly involved in numerous incidents that should be re-examined, and that "someone in the past had allowed corruption to make its way into the administration and this has since grown to become a monster".
He also called for Lim and Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali to clear their names in the alleged scandals of the SPLASH deal costing RM2.7bil, the Ijok land settlement of RM1.18bil, as well as the Penang Undersea Tunnel Project of RM6.3bil.
"There are also numerous questioned left unanswered pertaining to the Penang Transport Master Plan worth RM46bil and the RM30bil Darul Ehsan Investment Group (DEIG) scandal," Ti said.
"The rakyat have placed much hope in the Pakatan Harapan government and it is only right for them to know if their leaders are clean and have no hidden secrets," he added.
