Lim ready to face Zahrain in court
(Free Malaysia Today) – Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng is ready to face legal action for implicating family members of Datuk Zahrain Mohamed Hashim in the RM40 million tender to manage Bukit Jambul Golf Resort.
He said Zahrain was unhappy for losing the tender put in by a company formed two months before tender was called in Sept 2008.
“It is up to Zahrain to sue or not. We have enough proof and are willing to take the risk for the sake of a clean government,” he said when commenting Zahrain’s legal threat for implicating his family members in the tender.
Lim said their ties soured after a company supported by Zahrain failed to get the tender to manage Bukit Jambul Golf Resort.
“I am willing to lose a friend rather than award the tender to an unproven company that lacked credibility,” he said at a Penang DAP Chinese New Year open house here today.
