PAS MP dodges media after linking Guan Eng with Chin Peng, others

A PAS MP under fire for claiming existing family ties between Bagan MP Lim Guan Eng and former Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) leader Ong Boon Hua - also known as Chin Peng, as well as Singapore’s first prime minister Lee Kuan Yew, has refused to provide evidence of her claims.

In Parliament, Kepala Batas MP Siti Mastura Muhammad today attempted to evade reporters waiting outside the MP’s lounge to seek her response to Lim’s demand for evidence, made earlier today.

“My answer, watch the video until the end,” said Siti Mastura (above), as she continued to walk away.

“Watch the video until the end,” she insisted.

Again asked if she would respond to Lim's demand for evidence within 48 hours, she said, “I don’t need to answer a question that does not know the facts.”

Earlier, Lim said Siti Mastura has until Nov 9 to furnish evidence in relation to her allegation which was made during a recent PAS programme in Terengganu.

Mastura made the claim in her 46-minute speech to PAS’ women and young women wing members from Kemaman PAS, ahead of the upcoming Kemaman parliamentary by-election. 

Aside from alleged family relations with Ong and Lee, Siti Mastura also claimed that Lim is related to other DAP leaders such as secretary-general Anthony Loke, Nga Kor Ming, Ngeh Koo Ham, and Teresa Kok.

“This is not just a personal attack but has racial undertones as well. It is a spiteful allegation against my father (DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang) and me,” Lim told reporters in Parliament this morning.

Lim also said he would take further action should Mastura fail to prove her claims.
