Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has moved into Rumah Tetamu, the Chief Minister’s official residence, in Macalister Road.
Lim, who moved in at 8am yesterday, said he recently found out that the RM300,000 estimate given by the state government and Public Works Department to repair the mansion had been “grossly overstated”.
He has also been told the roof was not leaking.
“It was only water dripping from the air-conditioning vents. I don’t understand how they could include repairing a leaking roof in their evaluation when the roof is not leaking.
“I think we only need to do some minor touch-up like a bit of repainting,” Lim told newsmen when opening the Silver Jubilee Rehabilitation Centre for Stroke Patients at the Silver Jubilee Home here yesterday.
He said the state government would investigate how the RM300,000 estimate had come about.
