PETALING JAYA: The family of former finance minister Lim Guan Eng (pix) has denounced the charges against him as “dirty politics”.

His son Macus said they were meant to tarnish the Bagan MP and bring down DAP and the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition.

In a Facebook post, Marcus said the family had expected this since the fall of the PH government in late February

Guan Eng’s wife, Betty Chew, posted “God is watching” on the social media.

The DAP leader was seen leaving the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters at about 8.30 am, and believed heading to the Court Complex at Jalan Duta, where he would be charged in connection with the RM6.3 billion Penang undersea tunnel project.
