  We study CP asymmetries in penguin-induced b -> s\bar{s}s decays in general
left-right models without imposing manifest or pseudomanifest left-right
symmetry. Using the effective Hamiltonian approach, we evaluate CP asymmetries
in B^\pm -> \phi K^{(\ast)\pm} decays as well as mixing induced B meson decays
B -> J/\psi K_s and B -> \phi K_s decays. Based on recent measurements
revealing large CP violation, we show that nonmanifest type model is more
favored than manifest or pseudomanifest type.
