The finance minister says he thought he will lose as a result of the bad news coverage in the election. FMTNews 1MDB

BUTTERWORTH: Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng said today money from 1MDB given to the three Chinese journalists groups in Penang influenced their reporting when he was Penang chief minister.

He said at one point, he thought he would lose in the general election due to the unfavourable coverage given to him by the Chinese dailies.“If you have received money , how can you stay neutral in your reporting?“But I was patient and, thankfully, people believed me and not these reporters and certain newspapers. Today, their coverage is better and fairer.

MCA-owned cooperative, Kojadi, was said to have received RM15 million from Yayasan 1MDB to provide micro-credit facilities for members.the RM50,000 it received from the 1Malaysia Penang Welfare Club. “If you return the money, it would show your sincerity,” he said, stating that those stubborn in refusing to return the money were being insincere.

Lim said Lau’s remarks shows the opposition has “lost their minds” as he had explained that the former BN members had never received money directly into their personal accounts.
