DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang is pleading with Putrajaya and the authorities for them to drop the money-laundering charges against his daughter-in-law Betty Chew.

The appeal addressed to Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, Attorney-General Idrus Harun and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), called on them to drop the charges to maintain "some decency and honour" in public life.
