TANJONG MP Ng Wei Aik has urged the police to investigate Tasek Glugor MP and chairman of Penang Regional Development Authority (Perda)
Datuk Shabudin Yahaya for criminal breach of trust by a public servant.
He said the probe should be conducted under Section 409 of the Penal Code.Ng claimed Perda had sold a piece of public land at a price which is below
the market value.
He claimed the land was sold to a private company, SYT Prestige Sdn Bhd (SYT).
“Is he (Shabudin) brave enough to act following Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan
willing to have a debate with Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng?”
Ng said at a media conference held in front of the Jalan Patani police station on April 15. Joining him were Penang Island City Council (MBPP)
councilors Ong Ah Teong, Harvinder Singh, Chris Lee Chun Kit, Grace Teoh Goon Kee, Goh Choon Keong and Wong Yuee Harng.
Ng later lodged a police report after the media conference over the alleged selling of public land below the market price.
Earlier, Perda was accused of having sold 3.461 hectare of land at a cheap price of RM1.427 million, while the market price determined by
the Valuation & Property Department under the Finance Ministry was as high as RM16.636 million.
Following this issue, Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng likened the loss to Penangites having lost RM15.2 million following the action taken by
Perda and Shabudin.
