Penang Chief Minister Declines Comment on Impending MACC Legal Action

Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has stated he has no intention of commenting on the impending legal action by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). The MACC has decided to pursue legal measures against Lim and will refer the matter to the Attorney-General for further action. This decision follows Lim's earlier statement deeming the detention of Penang state executive councillor Phee Boon Poh by the MACC as illegal.

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has officially decided to take legal action against Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng.

This development comes after a period of tension regarding Lim's public statements concerning MACC operations.
Ultimatum Issued for Open Apology

The MACC had previously issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Lim Guan Eng, demanding an open and unconditional apology. This demand was a direct response to Lim's assertion that the arrest of Penang state executive councillor Phee Boon Poh by the MACC was unlawful. The commission set a deadline for compliance before initiating legal proceedings.
