The MCA today lodged a police report over a racist remark it alleged DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng made during the debate with MCA president Chua Soi Lek last Saturday.

NONE Selangor MCA deputy head of public and services complaints bureau, Allan Liew Sin Kim ( right ), lodged a police report against the Penang chief minister at the Kajang police station, accompanied by five other complainants.

Liew says in the police report that Lim had uttered, “PAS never killed a Chinese” during the wrap-up session of the head-to-head debate which was telecast live.

Liew said the Chinese community did not understand the true meaning of this remark and felt worried and afraid as Lim was playing on a racial issue.

He therefore wants the police to investigate whether Lim had violated “any racial issue laws”.

More than 10 complaints within three days

Speaking to the press after lodging the report, Liew said he wanted the police to investigate whether Lim had incited racial sentiments through his remark.

NONE Liew claimed that he had received more than 10 complaints from the Chinese community over the last three days, all against Lim’s remark.

“I don’t understand the meaning, but let us imagine, if the Chinese community doesn’t support PAS, what will happen?”

Liew asked Lim to apologise to all Malaysians and withdraw his remark before the police started the investigation.

"As the chief minister of Penang, Lim should not have come up with this 'irresponsible and vulgar' remark.

“Only a gangster or street fighter will come out such a vulgar remark,” Liew added.
