KUALA LUMPUR, Sept twenty-two Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng partly pays for a let of his residence from "his own pocket", political cabinet member Ng Wei Aik pronounced today.
Gerakan had pounded a DAP secretary-general as well as claimed which he owns a property, Ng said.
Refuting Gerakan's allegation, Ng pronounced Lim was renting a "fully-furnished" residence during a rate of RM5,000 a month.
"As CM (Chief Minister), he is entitled to RM4,000 housing stipend paid by a state government every month.
"It means which CM has to fork out another RM1,000 from his own slot to pay a rental," pronounced Ng in an email today, adding which it "cannot be deliberate as oppulance skill as it has no swimming pool."
"We have practised a highest grade of integrity all this while, even to a border [of making] public a control agreement even yet this is usually CM's rented property," he said, adding which a agreement was shown this morning.
Earlier today, Ng forked out which leaders from a ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) bloc need not to insist their squeeze of houses, citing a former Selangor mentri besar Mohamad Khir Toyo as an example.
"On Gerakan's attacks on CM's rented house, it seems which Lim Guan Eng is a usually CM or MB (mentri besar) in Malaysia who is asked to insist [his] renting a residence to stay as compared to BN leaders who need not to explain, even yet they buy houses, some like palace resort owned by Khir Toyo," he pronounced during a press conference.
Ng pronounced which Lim had decided to rent a "fully-furnished" residence 3 years ago after discovering which repairs to a chief minister's central residence would price an estimated RM500,000.
! The ce ntral state residence, Sri Teratai, "was in a very bad condition as well as filthy with termites," a Komtar state assemblyman said.
