KUALA LUMPUR: No agreement signed in 2011 between the Penang government and the Beijing Urban Construction Group (BUCG) in relation to the paired roads and undersea tunnel project specified that it would be awarded via open tender, the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court heard on Thursday (Aug 19).

Witness Datuk Lim Hock Seng, who is a Penang exco, affirmed this when questioned by the deputy public prosecutor while testifying in the graft trial of former Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng.
