Zahrain: Gutless or Gutsy?

Today, I'm back to work – but many are still on CNY leave. And so, to be honest, we didn’t expect a good collection for the HICT for Haiti Fund – in fact, we managed to amass only RM10. Still it is someone’s act of generosity, and therefore, we should be grateful. Our grand total of collections todate amounted to RM159. No doubt, this is a paltry amount. But we’ve only just begun…

The Malay Mail (Webpage http://www.mmail.com.my/content/27852-guan-eng-ready-face-legal-action-zahrain) reported today that Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng is ready to face legal action for implicating family members of Zahrain Mohamed Hashim in the RM40 million tender to manage Bukit Jambul Golf Resort. Lim had said Zahrain was unhappy for losing the tender put in by a company the latter had supported that was formed two months before tender was called in Sept 2008.

"It is up to Zahrain to sue or not. We have enough proof and are willing to take the risk for the sake of a clean government," Lim said when commenting Zahrain's legal threat for implicating his family members in the tender. Lim said their ties soured after the said company failed in the tender bid.

Let’s wait and see if combative Zahrain has the gall to sue Lim. Then, we will know the truth!
