Here are key headlines from yesterday you may have missed, in brief.

Lim Guan Eng arrested for corruption

Penang Chief Minister and DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng was arrested for alleged corruption over the re-zoning of a parcel of land and the purchase of a bungalow in Penang at below market price.

Supporters held a candlelight vigil outside the Penang Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters where Lim and businesswoman Phang Li Koon, who sold him the bungalow, were detained.

Pakatan Harapan leaders described the move as a case of selective prosecution and claimed this was part of a political move to weaken the opposition ahead of the 14th general election, while Lim urged his party to stay strong.

The CM is to be charged today with attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali expected to lead the prosecution.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Abdul Rahman Dahlan, who has consistently attacked Lim on the bungalow issue, said the arrest was a relief and it proved the DAP is not as clean as it claims.

Cops to probe mufti on 'kafir harbi' remark

Inspector-general of police (IGP) Khalid Abu Bakar said Pahang mufti Abdul Rahman Osman would be investigated for sedition for labelling the DAP kafir harbi for its opposition to a Private Member's Bill that could pave the way for hudud.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister's Office claimed Abdul Rahman's statement was distorted by certain quarters.

It said non-Muslims in Malaysia are not kafir harbi if they possess valid citizenship, and thus are protected by the laws of the country.

The Council of Churches said the term is seditious, provocative and divisive, as karfir harbi generally refers to hostile non-Muslims who can be slain.

Puchong blast: Terrorism not ruled out

Selangor deputy police chief Abdul Rahim Jaafar said the grenade attack on Puchong pub Movida was unlikely by terrorist groups, as adjacent pubs with more patrons were not hit.

However, IGP Khalid Abu Bakar says police have yet to rule out the possibility that it was an ideologically-driven attack.

Meanwhile, Movida owner Roger Hew claimed the attack was over a dispute involving one of the victims, but the victim denied this and slammed Hew over the claim.
