Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Komtar, George Town On 26.3.2016.
The Inspector-General of Police(IGP) Should Be Consistently Efficient By Applying The Same Standard Of Professional Diligence to Police Reports Against BN As They Apply Against Pakatan Harapan Leaders.
The unusually quick response of IGP Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar towards an UMNO Youth police report begs the question whether the IGP can be consistently efficient, by applying the same standards of professional diligence to police reports against BN as they apply against Pakatan Harapan leaders. The IGP had responded barely 48 hours after UMNO Youth lodged a report against Ms Phang Li Koon, who sold her house to me, allegedly for making a false statutory declaration (SD).
The IGP specifically said that I will be called as a witness. I will be happy to assist and co-operate, as I have nothing to hide. However, we have never seen such a speedy response to investigate or call the Prime Minister or Ministers as witnesses, when police reports are lodged against BN leaders over the 1MDB RM42 billion or the RM2.6 billion donation scandal. This only deepens suspicions that BN is mobilising its entire government machinery against me.
UMNO Youth claimed to have evidence that Ms Phang has business dealings with the Penang state government. They cited a company which she owns 20%, being listed in the directory for employment agencies of the InvestPenang website. What UMNO Youth fails to mention is that the company mentioned is not the only company listed, but one of the 30 employment agencies listed.
There are also many other lists for auditors, banks, architects, construction companies and others. InvestPenang merely publicised the names and services of many companies operating in Penang, and these companies do not necessarily have any business dealings with the Penang government. Any company can apply to be listed in the Directory, which is similar to a mini Yellow Pages.
Unless the state government is looking for foreign workers, there is no need for the Penang state government to seek out Ms Phang’s services. The Penang state government does not employ foreign workers as a matter of policy. We had even terminated the privatisation of rubbish collection in Majlis Perbandaran Seberang Perai because they were employing foreign workers, and replaced them with 2,500 local Malaysian workers. Can BN do the same? Will Ms Phang and myself be given the right to be investigated fairly, impartially and professionally?

槟城州首席部长林冠英于2016年3月26日在乔治市光大发表的声明
全国总警长采纳国阵报案对付希盟领袖的效率，应该要一视同仁及同一标准对待他人针对国阵的投报。
全国总警长丹斯里卡力一如既往的迅速回应巫青团的报案，让人产生疑问全国总警长是否能如采纳国阵报案对付希联领袖的效率，一视同仁及同一标准对待其他针对国阵的投报。全国总警长仅仅在巫青团报案指控我的前屋主彭丽君作出假法定声明48小时后就亲自作出回应。
总警长还特别指出我将会以证人被传召。我很乐意协助及合作，因为我无所隐瞒。然而，当警方接获针对国阵领袖关于一马发展公司420亿令吉及26亿令吉捐献丑闻报案的时候，我们不曾见过那么迅速的回应与即刻作出调查或传召首相或部长当证人。这只能更深入地怀疑国阵正在倾全力动员政府机器对付我。
巫青团声称拥有彭小姐与槟城州政府有生意往来的证据。他们所谓的证据是列出她所拥有20%股权的公司，被投资槟城（InvestPenang）列入在招聘公司的目录名单中。但巫青团没有说的是这家公司只是30家被列入目录名单的其中一家招聘公司而已。
在投资槟城中还有各种公司目录名单如稽查公司、银行、绘测公司、建筑公司及其他。投资槟城只是将在槟城操作的各公司及其所提供的服务公布，这些公司并不需要与槟州政府有任何生意往来。任何公司都可以申请列入目录当中，功能就如小型黄页。
除非州政府寻求外籍劳工，否则槟州政府不必寻求彭小姐的服务。槟州政府的政策就是不聘请外劳。我们甚至在威省市议会终止收垃圾业务私营化，因为私人公司聘请外劳，取而代之的是增加聘请2500名大马员工。国阵是否也能做到？彭小姐与我在被调查的时候，是否能获得公平、不偏袒、专业调查的权力？
