DAP's Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua said there was no need for Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng to go on leave over the controversy surrounding his bungalow purchase unless charges are brought against him.

"No... (only) when charged, then (the person) should take time off," he told journalists at the Parliament lobby today.

Otherwise, Pua said people could simply file reports against anyone to make them go on leave.
