KUALA LUMPUR, July 14 — Lim Guan Eng had instructed a senior Penang government official to meet with Beijing Urban Construction Group Sdn Bhd representatives when it “lobbied” for an undersea tunnel project, the Sessions Court heard today.
According to Hock Seng, the two representatives were Datuk Zarul Ahmad Mohd Zulkifli and Lim Chee Hoe. Hock Seng said he was the Penang state executive councillor in charge of public works, utilities and transportation at that time and had also met the BUCG representative several times prior to the eventual signing of the MoU.
This eventually led to the signing of a MoU on March 17, 2011 in which both parties agreed to cooperate in alleviating persisting traffic congestion issues in Penang. “The MoU was for the proposal of an undersea tunnel project spanning 5km in length with an expected cost of RM10 billion and fully funded by BUCG themselves.
He also affirmed that a delegation of 10 individuals representing the state government had visited Beijing in the People’s Republic of China for a week between June 2 and June 8, subsequent to an official invitation by BUCG’s general manager which was extended to the Chief Minister.
