Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has dismissed media reports on Sunday, which quoted him saying toy claw machines will be banned by the local councils.
Lim said national news agency Bernama report, which was widely published by others, “put words into my mouth”.
“I never mentioned toy claw machines, it is not banned,” Lim said at a press conference in Komtar today.
“The report is irresponsible and false journalism; if you want to run me down, let it be based on facts,” Lim said.
