KUALA LUMPUR - Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has successfully led his 'Cabinet' or executive council through an asset-declaration exercise.
This is actually the second time Guan Eng and team have 'bared all' to the public. They did so in January 2012 but this is the first time they are doing it as part of their promise to fulfill the Penang Pakatan Rakyat's 13th general election manifesto.
The latest information disclosure showed that the 'richest' among the Penang Pakatan leaders was DAP Sungai Puyu assemblyman Phee Boon Poh, who declared ownership of eight properties including joint-owned ones, some of which are in Hamilton, New Zealand.
According to the Star, Phee, who is a state exco member, jointly owns houses (inherited) and land in Hamilton, an apartment in Pantai Molek, Butterworth, a house in Taman Dalia, a shophouse in Bandar Mutiara (inherited), land in Teluk Air Tawar, a penthouse in Bagan Ajam and bungalow land in Batu Kawan.
Phee also owns shares in 24 companies and unit trust shares in six companies.
As for Guan Eng, the Chief Minister declared he owned two shophouses in Malacca, the same as he did when he first took office in 2008. He also has RM308,368 in fixed deposit and shares/unit trusts in eight companies.
One shophouse is a joint property bought for RM435,000, and while another was bought for RM530,000.
Guan Eng settled the RM300,000 loan for the first shophouse and a RM350,000 loan for the second one last year. He does not own any vehicle.
Another state exco member, Lim Hock Seng, also from DAP, owns a house in Seberang Jaya, a flat in Mutiara Perdana, a flat in Vista Perdana, a shophouse in Jalan Raja Uda and a factory in Permatang Pauh (both joint properties) and two pieces of land in Teluk Air Tawar.
