Who provided Ewe information about the state-owned lands?

Question

Accepted Answer

Information on State-Owned Lands Provided by an Unidentified Individual

Datuk Ewe Swee Kheng obtained information regarding state-owned lands, specifically Lot 702 and Lot 713, from an individual other than Lim Guan Eng or Datuk Lim Hock Seng. These lands are central to the charges of dishonest misappropriation of property faced by Lim. Ewe's admission of this fact was recorded during a session with an MACC recording officer, Mohamad Hambia.
Ewe's Knowledge of Specific Land Lots

Ewe, the founder and executive chairman of Ewein Bhd, disclosed to investigators that his knowledge of Lot 702 and Lot 713 came from a third party. These parcels of land are the subject matter in Lim Guan Eng's charges concerning dishonest misappropriation of property, as stipulated under Section 403 of the Penal Code. This detail emerged during the cross-examination of Mohamad Hambia, who was an MACC recording officer.
Context of Ewe's Statement to MACC

This disclosure was part of a supplementary statement Ewe provided to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on August 14, 2021. This statement contrasted with an earlier one made between July 22 and July 24, 2020, where Ewe did not initially mention being fearful or under duress. Mohamad Hambia testified that Ewe confirmed he was comfortable and not fearful when his initial statement was taken, adhering to standard MACC procedures.
Ewe's Role and Subsequent Death

Ewe was slated to be a key prosecution witness in the case. He passed away on October 5, 2021, after reportedly falling from a luxury condominium in Penang. His earlier statements, particularly the one in July 2020, were made before he provided the supplementary statement in August 2021, where he elaborated on his knowledge of the lands.
