Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has refused to apologise to Umno Baling MP Abdul Azeez Rahim.
This is after Azeez demanded an open apology from Lim for alleging the former received RM3 million for “consultancy work" linked to the Penang undersea tunnel project.
Azeez said today that Lim has four days to make an open apology.
Last week, Lim questioned why Azeez has not been detained by the MACC for allegedly receiving millions of ringgit in consultancy fees for the state's undersea tunnel project.
It was reported on Feb 27th, that the project’s special purpose vehicle Consortium Zenith Construction Sdn Bhd had paid a total of RM22 million to an Umno politician and businessperson for consultancy work.
Zenith is said to have issued demand letters to Azeez and an unnamed businessperson for failing to complete this consultancy work, after being paid RM3 million and RM19 million respectively.
While Azeez has denied receiving the money from the company, the businessperson was detained in Putrajaya last week.
