Some Facts tentang skandal Banglo "tanpa swimming pool" Lim Guan Eng #kltu #jbtu

1. This is a case that is similar to Khir Toyo's case so there is little for DAP to complain about.

2.  Guan Eng was charged on July 1st 2016 - more than 20 months ago for buying a bungalow at a cost of RM276 psf from a person who is accused to have property-related dealings with the state govt. RM275psf is even cheaper than the price of Penang Govt's own affordable housing that is up to RM400psf.

3. The case is only officially starting tomorrow (26th March 2018) because Guan Eng kept challenging the MACC act as being unconstitutional which caused delay to the hearing of the main case.

4. The challenge went all the way - through the high court, the appeals court and the Federal court. In the end, Guan Eng lost and the MACC act is judged not to be unconstitutional

So, if anybody is to blame for the court only hearing now then Guan Eng only has himself to blame.

5. Guan Eng should be happy for the hearing to start. In many past ceramahs, he had said that the looks forward to clearing his name in court as he claims he will finally be able t o tell his side of the story.

6.  The hearing is expected to take 23 days, lasting till the end of May. This means that it is very unlikely that even if Guan Eng lost the case, he will be sentenced before the GE14 - meaning he can still stand.

7. And even if he loses after GE14, he will not be going to jail straight nor is he expected to step down as CM as he can still appeal his case twice. For example, Anwar's case also took 7 years before he ended up in jail.

8. Guan Eng had made history and remains the first sitting Chief Minister or EXCO in Malaysia that refuses to resign even though he is charged with corruption.

9. Guan Eng is also the first secretary-general of DAP to be charged with corruption.

10. Yes. His bungalow does not have a swimming pool. But it is still big at 10,500sq feet of land in an exclusive area on the Island.
