The DAP goverment in Penang is now in effort of finding out how billions and billions of cash has just vanished under the BN led goverment before this...

“The land scam has caused colossal financial losses to the state government running to tens and tens and tens and tens of millions,” he told journalists,Mr, Lim Guan Eng...

Dissatisfied with the findings of an earlier Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) investigation done in 2006, the state government has now set up a three-man special investigating team headed by the Deputy Chief Minister I Mohammad Fairus Khairuddin, to carry out its own probe in the scam.

Others in the committee are Deputy Chief Minister II Prof P Ramasamy and state executive councillor Phee Boon Poh.

Although Lim has not given any time frame to complete it, the committee is being expected to fast track its probe into the scandal.Once it has completed its investigation, government insiders said Penangites would be in for a shock to discover the extent of misappropriation of land and public funds under the previous administration.
