GEORGE TOWN – The police will be summoning the Secretary-General of DAP, Lim Guan Eng to assist into an investigation on allegation that he has violated the self-quarantine order by attending the State Assembly Sitting on 2 September.
The Penang Police Chief, Datuk Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain said that the Air Putih State Assemblyman will be called for statement recording right after his self-quarantine period ends on 10 September.
“We have received three police report on the issue at the moment, and we have recorded the statement from the three individuals who lodged the report.
“Besides that, we will be recording statement from the Secretary of State Assembly and the Ministry of Health today,” he said when contacted by MalaysiaGazette today.
Mohd Suhaily added, the case is classified as Police Inquiry Paper.
Earlier, the Spokesperson from Penang Gerakan, Aswad Jaafar said that the Bagan Member of Parliament was supposed to be under 10-days self-quarantine until 10 September. However, he attended the recent Penang State Assembly sitting.
“Guan Eng’s lawyer said that his client could not go to the court today as he is under self-quarantine but why could he attend the Penang State Assembly Sitting on 2 September?
“We found that Guan Eng’s statement contradicted his failure to attend court, thus, we lodge a police report so that they can investigate the allegation,” he said. -MalaysiaGazette
