Anwar: We will act on solid evidence

PENANG, March 8 — Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will act on allegations of corruption involving two state party leaders, if there was solid evidence.

He said the committee concerned would investigate the allegations by Kepala Batas PKR Youth chief Amizudin Ahmat.

“If there is solid evidence, then I would inform Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng to act,” he told reporters after jointly lauching the Penang Free WiFi project with Lim, at the Sunway Cannival Mall in Seberang Jaya here today.

On Thursday, Amizudin had alleged that two state PKR leaders received bribes from a quarry company.

Meanwhile, Lim condemned the police action of firing tear gas canisters and deploying water cannons on a crowd which gathered to submit a memorandum to the King, on the policy of teaching Science and Mathematics in English.

It was reported today that the police took such action to disperse the crowd which marched from the National Mosque to the Istana Negara in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. — Bernama
