槟城高等法院维持对林冠英、妻子及女商人的腐败指控，该指控与 2018 年无罪判决的另一起案件有关。 Penang High Court upholds corruption charges against Lim Guan Eng, wife, and businesswoman in a separate case from 2018 acquittal.
槟城高等法院驳回了槟城前首席部长林冠英、其夫人周玉兰以及女商人彭丽君提出的撤销与 1160 万令吉外籍工人宿舍项目有关的腐败指控的申请。 Penang High Court rejected former Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, his wife Betty Chew, and businesswoman Phang Li Koon's attempts to strike out corruption charges related to a RM11.6 million foreign workers' dormitory project. 法庭裁定，这些指控涉及不同的个人，并不属于林某于 2018 年被宣判无罪的早期案件。 The court ruled that the charges involved different individuals and were not part of an earlier case where Lim was acquitted in 2018. 被告的法律团队将等待判决充分依据后再提起上诉，并申请在上诉期间暂停腐败诉讼。 The accused's legal team will wait for the full grounds of judgment before filing an appeal and applying for a stay of the corruption proceedings pending the appeal.
