Lim Guan Eng, his family and faction did poorly at the DAP's central committee election. He survived at 26th spot, lost the Chairmanship and given face saving position as Adviser. His people have not given up and perhaps pondering a return.
Guan Eng's Penang tunnel case is still on-going in court for any immediate change in fortune. In the meanwhile, the changing of the guard at DAP went through smoothly and new generation of leaders sprouting. Bukit Aman was reported moving in to investigate the money trail of Tedy Teow and talk is Guan Eng had dealings with Tedy.
Tedy is the founder of the infamous money game operator MBI Group. They operated a multi-level marketing (MLM) MCoin and Ponzi investment scam to swindle investors in Malaysia, China, Thailand, and Indonesia in the billions of Ringgit.
He was arrested in Thailand in 2022 after years on the run. Malaysia requested for his extradition to face charges of fraud and money laundering, but he ended up being extradited to China in August 2024.
Suddenly Bukit Aman called up corporate figures linked to the MBI money trail. One is believed to be linked to Ivory Property Berhad, one of the four property development company closely linked to Guan Eng.
Tan is an Adviser to the influential and highly connected umbrella organisation of Chinese associations, Huazhong. He is also member of various powerful business councils. It begs the question why a renown businessman, corporate figure and connected person would get his hands dirty for a relatively paltry RM10 million?There is the intrigue of why did Tan resigned immediately as Deputy Chairman of T7 Global Berhad and the company issued a statement denying it is under investigation?
Obviously it serves to allay attention away from the company, however it strengthen the suspicion that an offense was committed. By virtue of Tan's membership in MCPF, he should personally know the Home Minister and IGP, thus could privately explained the circumstances to them. And all can be hush hush.
So it invite the curiosity as to why IGP could not help him from being arrested and investigated by the police? Did he actually committed the alleged scam which is usually committed by petty blackmailers on those having trouble with the law? Did he abused his connection with the police and angered the IGP thus got taken in?
MCPF would certainly need to meet to trash this matter.
Leading to Xi's, whether by design or coincident, there have been major arrests related to China's most wanted scammer, Malaysian Tedy Teow of MBI fame. The victims of his billion ringgit scam have mostly been Chinese national.Today, another arrest was reported noon time by The Star, reproduced below:
