“Transparency and accountability must be practised, not
preached.”
This comment was made by BN Strategic Communications
Director Abdul Rahman Dahlan on the arrest of Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan
Eng today by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.
Lim will be charged in the Sessions Court tomorrow over the
purchase of a bungalow in Penang.
In a press statement released this evening, Rahman said it
was his hope that the MACC would carry out its duties without fear and favour
like they always do.
“And eventually this will bring us the truth and justice.”
He said he raised the matter of the purchase of the bungalow
in Jalan Pinhorn in March this year because he “believed there are wrongdoings
within the transaction and the people of Penang deserve nothing but the truth”.
“Clearly, DAP’s slogan of being the most clean political
party in Malaysia does not hold water, post Lim Guan Eng’s arrest by MACC
today.”
He said the course of justice must be a swift one.
“After months of internal investigation and intense public
discourse, I am relieved that the MACC has decided to take action against the
chief minister.”
