Guan Eng bought house cheap because of bad feng shui, DAP leader says

(Malay Mail Online) – Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng’s controversial RM2.8 million house purchase was made at below market price because of bad feng shui, DAP leader Teresa Kok said today.

Kok, who is DAP national vice chairman, pointed out that a funeral ceremony was conducted outside Lim’s house in George Town, Penang, to remove the bad feng shui.

“The house had bad feng shui since Lim Guan Eng moved in,” Kok said in a speech at the Kongres Rakyat 2016 forum here organised by the Save Malaysia movement.

“There was a funeral ceremony that was held outside the house for Lim to remove the bad feng shui. She was willing to sell the house cheaper to him because of that,” added the Seputeh MP.

Kok also said businesswoman Phang Li Koon sold the land and house to Lim at RM2.8 million, instead of the market rate of RM6.5 million, because they are friends.

“It is a small matter, but they (the critics) have overplayed it so that the ‘Save Malaysia’ campaign can lose traction.

“Phang is proud to have sold the house to the chief minister of the state and feels that the few million in difference does not matter,” she said.

Kok poked fun at the deal and said she would have done the same in selling a property to former de facto law minister Datuk Zaid Ibrahim or Parti Amanah Negara chief Mohamad Sabu, whom she considers friends.

“If I had a home and I was selling it to Zaid Ibrahim or Mohamad Sabu, I would not try to make a profit from it, which is the same thing Phang did, and it has been blown out of proportion,” she said.

The police and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) have opened investigations on Lim’s purchase of his house at Pinhorn Road.

Lim has come under public scrutiny after Tasek Gelugor MP Shabudin Yahaya linked Lim’s double-storey standalone house bought last year to the 2012 sale of state land Taman Manggis.
