Press Conference Statement By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Komtar, George Town On 7.8.2014.<\/p>\n
I am shocked by the unprovoked attack launched by PAS MP for Temerloh Nasrudin bin Hassan at Tantawi against me by relying on baseless claims and lies on my stewardship of the Penang state government\u2019s finances and award of South-East Asia\u2019s first under-seabed tunnel project from Gurney Drive in Penang island to Bagan Ajam in Seberang Perai. Nasrudin has 24 hours to unreservedly and unconditionally withdraw his lies and apologise to me.<\/p>\n
Nasrudin had questioned why I was not criticized within Pakatan Rakyat like Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim was getting over the Kinrara-Damansara Expressway (Kidex) project when I had also used direct negotiations to award the RM4.63 billion under seabed tunnel project to Construction Zenith BUCG Bhd. Nasruddin also claimed that Penangites opposed this project because of my conduct of Penang government\u2019s finances had resulted in 6 years of budget deficits.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Let me state here that I had never made any public comments on the Kidex project or its direct negotiation award. Neither has Nasrudin communicated with me on Penang state government matters. I have no interest in playing along with Nasrudin\u2019s political games of supporting Kidex, but am making this rebuttal because of the lies by a fellow PR MP that has severely tarnished my reputation and my state government\u2019s standing. <\/p>\n
Nasrudin has lied because the under seabed tunnel project was awarded by an open tender, not direct negotiation and costs RM 3.6 billion not RM4.63 billion as claimed. Nasrudin lied further because the Penang state government under PR had never recorded a single year of budget deficit but recorded budgetary surpluses instead. The budget surpluses were certified not by me but by the yearly Auditor-General\u2019s Report as follows:-<\/p>\n
2008 RM 88,020,470.73
\n2009 RM 77,343,325.77
\n2010 RM 33,539,016.31
\n2011 RM 138,317,374.24
\n2012 RM 114,475,442.86<\/p>\n
As for end 2013, the Penang state government is expected to record a small surplus.<\/p>\n
Before the preliminary agreement for the under seabed tunnel project was signed in 2013, an unprecedented exercise of public feedback and consultation was carried out before the May 2013 general elections. Three town hall meetings with the public were held, two on the island and one on the mainland.<\/p>\n
Effectively, the people of Penang were given a rare opportunity to support or reject this project by voting to retain or replace the PR state government in the May 2013 general elections. The PR state government was returned to power in the 2013 general elections with the highest electoral mandate in history with 68% of the popular vote.<\/p>\n
Clearly the lies made by Nasrudin are the same as that made by pro-BN and pro-UMNO social media cyber-troopers. If Nasrudin claims to be a good Muslim who is not a munafik(hypocrite), then he should withdraw his lies and apologise to me within 24 hours. Should he fail to do so, he is behaving dishonourably and no different from UMNO.<\/p>\n
I will be left with no choice but to treat him like a BN opponent, by instructing my lawyers here to take legal action for defamation against him for spreading blatant slander and lies against me and the Penang state government.<\/p>\n

Kenyataan Sidang Akhbar oleh Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng di Komtar, George Town Pada On 7.8.2014.<\/p>\n
Saya terkejut dengan serangan tanpa provokasi yang dilancarkan oleh Ahli Parlimen PAS Temerloh Nasrudin bin Hassan @ Tantawi terhadap saya dengan tuduhan tidak berasas kepada kepimpinan pengurusan kewangan Kerajaan Negeri dan penganugerahan projek terowong pertama di bawah-dasar laut di Asia Tenggara dari Persiaran Gurney di Pulau Pinang ke Bagan Ajam di Seberang Perai. Nasrudin mempunyai 24 jam untuk dengan jelas dan tanpa syarat meminta maaf kepada saya.<\/p>\n
Nasrudin mempersoalkan mengapa saya tidak dikritik oleh Pakatan Rakyat seperti Menteri Besar Selangor Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim berhubung projek Lebuhraya Kinrara-Damansara (Kidex) apabila saya juga telah menggunakan rundingan terus untuk menganugerahkan projek terowong dasar laut kepada Construction Zenith BUCG Bhd bernilai RM4.63 billion. Nasruddin juga mendakwa bahawa penduduk Pulau Pinang menentang projek ini kerana kedudukan kewangan kerajaan Pulau Pinang di bawah kepimpinan saya telah menyebabkan 6 tahun belanjawan defisit.<\/p>\n
Saya ingin menyatakan bahawa saya tidak pernah membuat apa-apa ulasan terbuka mengenai projek Kidex atau penganugerahan rundingan langsung. Nasrudin juga tidak pernah berhubung dengan saya berkenaan urusan kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang. Saya tidak mempunyai sebarang kepentingan untuk turut terjebak sama dengan permainan politik Nasrudin untuk menyokong Kidex, tetapi membuat bantahan ini kerana pembohongan oleh rakan Ahli Parlimen PR yang telah mencemarkan maruah saya dan kedudukan kerajaan negeri.<\/p>\n
Nasrudin berbohong kerana projek terowong bawah dasar laut telah dianugerahkan melalui tender terbuka, bukan rundingan terus dengan kos RM3.6 bilion, dan bukannya RM4.63 bilion seperti yang didakwa. Nasrudin juga berbohong kerana kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang di bawah PR tidak pernah mengalami satu tahun belanjawan defisit pun tetapi sebaliknya mencatatkan lebihan belanjawan. Lebihan bajet telah disahkan bukan oleh saya tetapi oleh Laporan Ketua Audit Negara, seperti jadual berikut: –<\/p>\n
2008 RM 88,020,470.73
\n2009 RM 77,343,325.77
\n2010 RM 33,539,016.31
\n2011 RM 138,317,374.24
\n2012 RM 114,475,442.86<\/p>\n
Pada akhir 2013, kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang dijangka mencatatkan sedikit lebihan.<\/p>\n
Sebelum perjanjian awal bagi projek terowong dasar laut ditandatangani pada tahun 2013, satu maklum balas dan perundingan awam telah dijalankan sebelum PRU. Amalan ini tidak pernah dibuat sebelum ini. Tiga mesyuarat ‘town hall’ dengan orang awam telah diadakan, dua di pulau dan satu di tanah besar.<\/p>\n
Jelas, rakyat Pulau Pinang telah diberi peluang yang jarang diberikan sebelum ini sama ada untuk menyokong atau menolak projek ini dengan mengundi untuk mengekal atau menggantikan kerajaan negeri PR dalam Pilihan Raya Umum 2013. Kerajaan Negeri PR telah kembali berkuasa dalam pilihan raya umum 2013 dengan mandat pilihan raya yang tertinggi dalam sejarah dengan 68% undi popular.<\/p>\n
Jelas pembohongan yang dibuat oleh Nasrudin adalah sama seperti yang dibuat oleh media sosial pro-BN dan pro-UMNO. Jika Nasrudin mendakwa menjadi Muslim yang baik yang bukan munafik, maka dia harus menarik balik fitnah dan memohon maaf kepada saya dalam tempoh 24 jam. Sekiranya dia gagal berbuat demikian, dia berkelakuan tidak amanah dan tidak berbeza dengan UMNO.<\/p>\n
Jika tidak, saya tiada pilihan lain melainkan melayan beliau seperti BN, dengan mengarahkan peguam saya untuk mengambil tindakan undang-undang kerana menyebarkan fitnah secara terang-terangan dan terhadap saya dan kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang.<\/p>\n
