CM Chow mulls legal action against blogger over graft allegations
PENANG Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow has reserved his rights to take legal action against a blogger over the latter’s graft allegations on the Penang undersea tunnel and three paired roads project.
“We will wait for the police to complete their investigation before taking further action.
“The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has lodged a police report to investigate the matter, so at this juncture we will wait for the investigation to complete,” Chow responded to the graft allegations by blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin on the undersea tunnel project during a press conference today.
Chow said he had never been called by the MACC to have his statement recorded with regard to the case.
“I feel sad that my name is mentioned in the allegation; the first time in my 32 years of political career.
“We have discussions on actions to be taken, which include lodging a (police) report, filing a court case and others,” he said.
