KUALA LUMPUR, March 28 — Datuk Seri Najib Razak today insisted Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng must explain a blogger’s allegation of corruption in the Penang undersea tunnel project before he will comment on the sale of Malaysia’s consulate building in Hong Kong.

Lim asserted in Parliament on Tuesday that the Najib administration approved the sale at a price that was allegedly nearly half a billion ringgit below fair value.

The Pekan MP and his Barisan Nasional (BN) colleagues responded then by heckling Lim with shouts of “tunnel!” that Lim ignored.

Today, the former prime minister again pressed Lim to respond to fugitive blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin’s blog posts claiming Penang excos were implicated by investigations into possible corruption in the undersea tunnel and three paired roads project.

“We can only comment when Guan Eng replies to whether RPK’s content is true or not,” he told reporters when met in Parliament today, referring to the acronym for Raja Petra.
