PETALING JAYA: The decision by the Penang High Court to acquit Finance Minister Lim Guan of his corruption charges has apparently shocked not just the country's anti-graft body, but the Prime Minister as well.  

Speaking at a press conference in Brunei on Monday, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was asked to comment on the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) statement that it was “very shocked” by the acquittal.
