Police are investigating Phang Li Koon, the person who sold a house to Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng in a controversial deal, allegedly for making a false statutory declaration (SD).

"We have opened investigations on a false (statutory) declaration against Phang. We will call all witnesses, including the chief minister," inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar said at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.
