Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng continued his tirade against those attempting to pin corruption allegations on him over the purchase of a bungalow below market price.
The DAP secretary-general said he had nothing to hide nor did the person who sold him the house for RM2.8 million.
He then turned the tables on Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak with regard to the RM2.6 billion political donation from a yet to be identified Saudi royalty.
"The person who sold the house to me has come forward. The person who donated the RM2.6 billion has not come forward.
"I have practised all levels of accountability, that are not practised by BN leaders," he told a press conference in the parliament lobby.
The former owner of Lim's house, businesswoman Phang Li Koon had signed a statutory declaration (SD) that the sale of her house to the chief minister was above board, and denied any links to a company which had dealings with the state government.
Her SD was read out by state executive councillor Phee Boon Poh, who is related to the businesswoman.
Lim said Phang had not read the SD herself as she did not want to meet the press.
Character assassination conspiracy
Meanwhile, Lim also accused the New Straits Times and Utusan Malaysia of character assassination.
"There is a conspiracy to character assassinate me.
"These papers want to make corruption happen even though there is not."
He also rubbished an NST report today that said Kuala Lumpur International Dental Centre Sdn Bhd (KLIDC) had applied to change its land development terms, so that 70 percent of the land will be used for hotel and service suites, while the remaining 30 percent for hospitals.
"The land title states that 66 percent is for hospitals and the remaining for service suites.
"If you want to lie at least be a bit more clever. Don't make lies easily detected when you look at the title which anybody can get," he added.
Yesterday, Lim also threw a tantrum over NST, after the English daily published a report titled "Guan Eng flees Parliament, avoids questions on RM2.8 mil bungalow." -Mkini
