It is learnt that Lim and Phang are expected to be slapped with graft charges under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 at 9am today. However, unlike the previous two cases against Lim, today’s cases are unrelated to the RM6.3 billion Penang undersea tunnel project.Lim was charged at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court last Friday with soliciting a bribe related to the undersea tunnel project under Section 16 of the MACC Act 2009.
It is believed that Deputy Public Prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib will apply for the case today to be heard at the same time as the two other cases in the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court.
