Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has sent a letter of demand to MCA-owned The Star for alleged defamation for publishing “lies” by state BN chief Teng Chang Yeow.

The offensive statement published in the English daily on Nov 16 quoted Teng alleging that Lim had rejected a “profit guaranteed” deal, causing state agency Penang Development Corporation (PDC) to lose about RM220 million, including the ownership of Pulau Jerejak.
