Wan Shaharuddin first asked Hock Seng, who is a former Penang state executive councillor if he knew who owned the company. He then asked Hock Seng if he knew whether the project followed the density requirement to which Hock Seng replied he did not know. Wan Shaharuddin: If the state legal adviser was involved, wouldn’t the state have saved RM75,000? Hock Seng added that the state legal adviser was not involved in drafting the project’s preliminary agreement as the state government wanted it completed as soon as possible. The offences were allegedly committed at the Penang Land and Mines Office, Komtar on Feb 17, 2015, and March 22, 2017.
