Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon had announced and reported by several media on May 17, 2011 that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak will announce an 'extraordinary' investment for Penang.

In a blog post in the Prime Minister's 1Malaysia blog,a Bernama report dated May 19, 2011 state that Motorola which has been in operation in Malaysia for 37 years with 7,000 employees will invest about RM4billion for a Global Excellence Centre in Penang.

However, on Jun 15, 2011 several media reported that Koh Tsu Koon claimed he did not say anything about the 'extraordinary' investment. Instead, Koh claimed that Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng is lying.

To prove matters, CM Lim distributed several printed media, online news and even a video of Koh Tsu Koon talking about the 'extraordinary investment.'

Lim said Koh should provide the details of the investment or explain to Penangites as Koh has misled them.
