KINIGUIDE DAP was dealt a major blow on Thursday when Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng was charged with graft and abuse of power under Section 23 of the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission Act and Section 165 of the Penal Code.

The first charge claims Lim abused his position when he chaired the Penang planning committee to approve the rezoning of land in Mukim J, Daerah Barat Daya from agricultural to housing, in favour of Magnificent Emblem Sdn Bhd on July 2014.
