He took Wee to task for repeating similar questions about the project.
Wee had raised the legality of an agreement signed for the contentious undersea tunnel and roads project.
Lim said despite vowing not to answer anymore questions from Wee, he was compelled to set the record straight by the members of the state executive council.
Wee, who is a trained civil engineer, had recently aired his concerns over the mega project in a series of videos on YouTube.
Lim had replied to the issues raised by Wee in a video last week and also at a press conference.
However, Lim later slammed Wee “for refusing to understand” and said the former would have failed as his student.
Today, Lim said he would “vomit blood” too as he claimed that Wee was continuously spinning facts in his new videos.
Wee had responded to the “failed student” remark yesterday by saying: “Amitabha. I’m glad I didn’t have a lecturer like you CM Lim. Argue what you like, hope you sleep well at night.”
Lim’s attack on Wee came after the chief minister had a Penang-made robot at a press conference today.
A reporter had asked the chief minister if he would use robots to answer Wee from now on.
“Ayoh, if robots were to answer Wee, the robot’s fuse will burn!” he said.
‘No proper agreement’
On a serious note, Lim addressed one of the concerns raised by Wee in his series of videos, especially on the legality of the agreements.
Yesterday, Wee said the legality of the agreement signed with the China Railway Construction Corporation (CRCC) was suspect as it was devoid of any stamp duties.
Wee also said it was not an agreement, but merely an “acknowledgement of commitment”, which meant that the signatories were legally not obliged to fulfil their commitments.
Lim said Wee of all people should have known that the agreements were legally binding, as state governments were exempted from stamp duties.
He said the exemption of stamp duties were provided under Section 35 of the Stamp Act 1949, which allowed for duty exemptions for instruments executed by the state government.
Lim pointed out to the first page of the agreement, which carried a stamp with the signature of the Shah Alam stamp duties deputy collector dated Oct 29, 2013.
“He is so petty and trivial. Wee does not ask hard and tough questions. Please lah Wee Ka Siong, we are a government, definitely got stamping.
“Also, in the agreement, they (CRCC) signed twice. If the agreement is not stamped, how can we make payment?” Lim asked.
