It is up to Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng to decide whether to take leave pending an investigation on him by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), said Umno youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin.

“It is really up to him since he is being investigated by the MACC,” said Khairy, who himself is facing calls for his resignation over a separate corruption scandal in the Youth and Sports Ministry.
