The prosecution does not need to prove there was any actual personal gain involved.<br /><br />The point of contention will be whether there is "personal interest". <br /><br />If I chair or participate in a meeting which approves an award to my brother-in-law, that can be construed as personal interest. Even if I gain nothing from the decision.<br />The correct process is I vacate the meeting.<br /><br />In Lim Guan Eng's case, the land approval meeting that he chaired involved the person who sold a house to Lim Guan Eng about a year earlier.<br /><br />If the law is enforced without Fear or Favour, I dare say the Entire Malaysian Cabinet should be in Jail by now, next cell neighbours to Anwar Ibrahim.<br /><br />But who says Malaysia is governed fairly ?<br />Monsterballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694084861364885645noreply@blogger.com
