KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 7): Lim Guan Eng wants PAS lawmaker Siti Mastura Mohamad to furnish proof of her claims that the DAP national chairman has family ties to the late Malayan Communist Party leader Chin Peng and Singapore's former prime minister, the late Lee Kuan Yew.
At a news conference in Parliament on Tuesday, Lim stated that he was giving Siti Mastura until Thursday to produce evidence of those ties, failing which he warned action would be taken against her.
"I am providing an opportunity for [the] Kepala Batas [Member of Parliament] to present evidence. If she cannot prove it, we will take the necessary actions," Lim said.
He reiterated that neither he nor his father, DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang, have any connection to Chin Peng or Lee.
In a video posted on social media, Siti Mastura was seen at an event in Kemaman, Terengganu, making allegations against DAP leaders including Anthony Loke, Lim Kit Siang, Lim Guan Eng, Nga Kor Ming, Teresa Kok, and Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham, accusing them of having family ties to Chin Peng and Lee.
DAP national publicity secretary Teo Nie Ching had refuted the claims, and described them as slander.
