On the eve of Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng’s corruption trial, his biggest worry is his family.

“They (my family) are the primary damage because really, they suffer much more than us.

“For us, it is part of the struggle, we must face it. Whatever pain and suffering we face, it is something we have steeled ourselves for.

“But I think for the family members, they are not just collateral damage, they are the primary damage,” Lim said to Malaysiakini when contacted.
