Yayasan Albukhary's Tax Exemption Status Under Scrutiny

Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has alleged that Yayasan Albukhary's tax exemption status was revoked during Lim Guan Eng's tenure as finance minister. Muhyiddin stated that the foundation's request had been approved during the time of Datuk Seri Najib Razak but was subsequently rejected. He further claimed that when Pakatan Harapan took office, Lim, as finance minister, oversaw the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN), and he was informed that Albukhary's request faced rejection.

Muhyiddin indicated that any cancellation of the tax exemption would have necessarily involved Lim Guan Eng, questioning whether the former minister took any action to prevent it. He asserted that Lim should explain the situation, suggesting that the rejection of Albukhary's request was not a straightforward administrative matter. Muhyiddin highlighted Yayasan Albukhary's significant contributions to the Malay community, implying that Lim failed to acknowledge these contributions.

Lim Guan Eng has vehemently denied these allegations, refuting any claims that he issued specific orders to revoke Yayasan Albukhary's tax exemption. He described the accusations as baseless and suggested that Muhyiddin was using the issue for political purposes to divert attention from his own legal challenges. Lim challenged Muhyiddin to produce any written evidence of him issuing such instructions as finance minister, stating that no such document exists.
