State: Cheaters won't prosper

ANYONE caught cheating the Penang government by renting out their low-cost (LC) and low medium-cost (LMC) flats awarded by the state will be brought to court, and this could lead to a jail term with whipping.

State Housing, Town and Country Planning Committee chairman Jagdeep Singh Deo said he found out that many flat owners were renting out their state-awarded units to others, especially foreign workers.
