Former Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng has submitted a representation to the Attorney-General’s Chambers to drop four corruption charges involving the construction of the undersea tunnel and road projects in Penang worth over RM6 billion.

The representation was submitted in June on the grounds that there was a contradiction in the testimony given by key prosecution witness and Consortium Zenith Construction Sdn Bhd director Zarul Ahmad Mohd Zulkifli to the court and the MACC regarding the fraud case of businessperson G Gnanaraja involving RM19 million over the same undersea tunnel case.
