Kedua-dua mereka telah mendakwa bahawa penjualan tanah seluas 41.6 hektar di Bayan Mutiara di Pulau Pinang dengan harga RM1.1 bilion tidak dilakukan secara tender terbuka berjaya ditunaikan.
Guan Eng juga telah mencabar Zainal Abidin dan Ahli Parlimen Kota Belud, Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan berundur dari politik jika gagal membuktikan penjualan tanah di Bayan Mutiara tidak dilakukan secara tender terbuka.
Beliau juga sedia berbuat sama sekiranya bukti-bukti tersebut dapat dikemukakan.
UMNO Pulau Pinang semalam mendesak Setiausaha Agung DAP itu mengotakan janji selepas berjaya kononnya mengemukakan beberapa bukti yang dilihat menimbulkan pelbagai persoalan terhadap proses tender terbuka tersebut.
Pengerusi Badan Perhubungan UMNO negeri, Datuk Zainal Abidin Osman berkata, berdasarkan maklumat daripada laman web pemilik tanah berkenaan, Perbadanan Pembangunan Pulau Pinang (PDC), tarikh tutup tender adalah 31 Disember 2010.
Bagaimanapun.. Kenyataan yang dikeluarkan oleh Pengerusi dan juga CEO Ivory Properties Group Bhd, Datuk Low Eng Hock hari ini telah menjadikan keadaan adalah sebaliknya..
CEO Ivory Properties Group Bhd, Datuk Low Eng Hock menegaskan Ivory Properties Group Bhd telah membeli tanah tersebut secara tender terbuka dan oleh itu kedua-dua pemimpin UMNO/BN di atas sila bersara dari politik..
Sanggup ka depa dua orang tu nak letak jawatan??

Developer confirms bought Bayan Mutiara land in open tender
By Clara Chooi
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 18 — Ivory Properties Group Bhd (IPGB) came out today to dispel claims that it had purchased prime state-owned land in Penang’s Bayan Mutiara for below market rate and without an open tender.
The public-listed property development firm declared in a statement here that it had bought the land upon emerging the highest bidder in an open and competitive tender called by the Penang government, which closed on December 31, 2010.
Upon winning its bid, the 41.5ha piece of property was purchased for RM240 per square foot (psf) or a total of RM1.072 billion, IPGB said.
The group added that in its original bid, it had sought to purchase the land at the same RM240 rate but to be paid for over eight years.
“In awarding the tender to IPGB as the highest bidder in 2011, the state government imposed an additional requirement of reducing the term of payment from the original eight years to five years.
“This was agreed to by IPGB and all necessary announcements were lodged with Bursa Malaysia,” it said in the statement.
According to IPGB chairman and group chief executive officer Datuk Low Eng Hock, the group has to date paid the deposit of RM22.1 million for the land.
“The remainder will be paid according to the scheduled progress payment after IPGB’s shareholders’ approval at the extraordinary general meeting, which is scheduled on March 5, 2012,” he added.
IPGB’s statement today comes amid accusations by several Umno leaders, including Sabah MP Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahalan and Penang Umno chairman Datuk Zainal Abidin Osman, that the Penang government sold the prime real estate at a 50 per cent discount to private developers.
According to their allegations, the 41.5ha plot in question was actually worth RM420 psf, well above the RM240 psf it was sold at.
Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has, however, repeatedly refuted this, and instead challenged to two Umno leaders to furnish proof of their claims.
He added yesterday that he was even willing to “retire from politics” if the duo could prove that the land sale was not done through open competitive tender.
“If Datuk Zainal Abidin Osman and Datuk Abdul Rahman fail to prove that there was no open competitive tender, would they then dare to accept my challenge to retire from politics?
“The two Umno leaders should accept this challenge to prove that they are not engaging in a systematic campaign of lies to undermine and sabotage the state government’s open tender policy and affordable housing programme,” he said in a statement. The Malaysian Insider
