Controversial sale of Peel Avenue land by Chief Minister Incorporated was of public interest, says Guang Ming Daily’s deputy editor-in-chief.

Jason Loo with well-wishers outside the High Court in George Town, Penang yesterday.

Chung said the transaction was opaque and was without any disclosure to the public, including the transfer of the land on Peel Avenue to CMI.Chung said former chief minister Lim Guan Eng’s claim that he was not the sole person calling the shots in selling the government land to the private hospital did not hold water.

Lim had previously reiterated that all matters at CMI were done in consensus with the other state executive council members. He said media outlets were allowed to publish news stories, even those regarded defamatory, so long as they were written in a neutral manner and the right of reply was given to the other party later on.

Justice Rosilah Yop set Aug 14 for both parties in the suit to enter their submissions and Aug 28 to respond to them. She also set Sept 20 to deliver her decision.
