Lim: I didn't flee, I'm back to face Rahman Dahlan

Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has denied fleeing the press at Parliament earlier today.

When approached by reporters upon his return to parliament at 7pm, Lim immediately asked where the News Strait Times journalists were.

He was unhappy with their article earlier today with the headline "Guan Eng flees Parliament, avoids questions on RM2.8 mil bungalow."

"I didn't flee. I had an appointment.

"I am back now and I am here to face Abdul Rahman Dahlan. He challenged me to come and here I am.

"I am not running away, I am here, so let him come, ask me any questions and I will answer," Lim said.

He repeated his displeasure with NST several times reiterating that he had an appointment.

Lim had earlier kept mum when the media asked him questions hours earlier.

Rahman, who is the urban wellbeing, housing and local government minister, had previously engaged in a Twitter war with Lim over the DAP secretary-general's controversial bungalow purchase.

Rahman is slated to speak in the House tonight, while winding up on the Agong's royal address to Parliament. -Mkini
