KUALA LUMPUR - Former Malaysian finance minister Lim Guan Eng was arrested by the country's anti-graft body on Thursday night , following weeks of a probe into an RM6.3 billion undersea tunnel project that was green-lit during his tenure as Penang chief minister.

Mr Lim, who is also the secretary general of the Democratic Action Party , the party with the most seats in the Malaysian Parliament, will face two charges relating to the undersea tunnel. He will also be charged with another offence at a Penang sessions court next week, the MACC said in a statement.

However investigations appeared to gather momentum again after the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan government - in which Mr Lim served as finance minister - earlier this year. Mr Lim's party colleague Tony Pua recently said that the investigations targeting Mr Lim were a form of political persecution.
