PARLIAMENT | Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng has claimed it was former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak's administration which first approved the sale of Malaysia Building in Hong Kong.
"I want to inform Najib (BN-Pekan) that the decision to sell the consulate building in Hong Kong was made by himself during the BN administration. The offer letter was issued by him.
"The decision was done by him before May 9 (2018)... but the decision made was for a direct negotiation at the price of RM1.1 billion," Lim said during his winding-up speech on the royal address in the Dewan Rakyat today.
Yesterday, Najib had expressed concern over media reports that the Malaysian government was looking to sell a 28-storey office tower it owns in Hong Kong.
The building on Gloucester Road houses several Malaysian government agencies, including the Consulate-General of Malaysia's office.
