GEORGE TOWN: Tasek Gelugor Member of Parliament Datuk Shabudin Yahaya has declined Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng's request for a meeting to discuss the sale of Lim’s RM2.8 million bungalow tomorrow.
Shabudin's office sent out an invite for a press conference on 'Why Shabudin does not want to face Lim Guan Eng in Komtar', which was scheduled to be held in Butterworth tomorrow.
On Friday, Lim challenged Shabudin to a one on one "Seek Truth From Facts" meeting at his office in Komtar.
Lim refuted Shabudin's allegations that he was involved in corrupt practices and issued the challenge.
It was reported that the Shabudin had questioned Lim over the sale of a plot of state government-owned land and the purchase of a multi-million ringgit piece of property in George Town, at a recent Parliament sitting.
Shabudin asked that Lim be investigated over the sale of the land, which was meant for low-cost housing that would have been rented out at RM100 a month to the poor.
He had also said that the land was sold by tender, and was now scheduled to be the site of a private hospital and a hotel.
In return, Lim had said he has nothing to hide and was willing to be investigated by the authorities.
