Guan Eng's police questioning session to be rescheduled

SEBERANG PRAI: Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng is leaving the matter of rescheduling a questioning session with the police this Friday to his lawyer.

He said his lawyer, Puchong MP Gobind Singh, will be handling the matter.
Lim said he blew his top when his lawyer informed he was to be called for questioning on Jan 27, the eve of Chinese New Year.
"What is this? Might as well arrest me, why come get my statement recorded on the day when we have our reunion.

"This is not sensitive, in terms of Malaysian-ness (and) Malaysian spirit," he said when asked about the matter today at a press conference.

Police had earlier recorded Lim's statement on Jan 13.

He questioned the timing of the appointment, which prompted IGP Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar to say the date can be changed.

Earlier, Lim disbursed a total of RM66,000 to 660 schoolchildren from poor families from 22 schools within the Bagan parliamentary constituency.

The Bagan MP said a total of RM418,000 has been disbursed in such aid since 2011.
