In a statement, Lim said he has appointed lawyer Sankara
Narayanan Nair to initiate criminal action and legal proceedings
against Siti Mastura (above, right) who is the Kepala Batas MP. The
Bagan MP also called out PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang and Perikatan
Nasional chairperson Muhyiddin Yassin to state their stand publicly on
Siti Mastura’s “lies”.
“I have appointed Sankara as my lawyer to
initiate criminal action and legal proceedings against Siti Mastura for
her hate speech against me, which is full of outrageous lies and
malicious slander. “Siti Mastura made her hate speech at a PAS event in Kemaman on Nov 4,” Lim said.
During
a PAS programme in Kemaman, Terengganu, Siti Mastura gave a speech
where she claimed Lim was related to Chin Peng and “Lim Kuan Yew”. She
also claimed Lim is related to other DAP leaders such as party
secretary-general Anthony Loke, Local Government Development Minister
Nga Kor Ming, Beruas MP Ngeh Koo Ham, and Seputeh Teresa Kok.
Following this, Lim gave the PAS leader until yesterday to furnish evidence in relation to her allegation. Lim,
who is a former finance minister, claimed that Siti Mastura was racist
and extremist by using non-existent family ties to strike fear against
DAP and the Chinese.
He also slammed her for refusing to show proof or apologising for making such claims. “Equally
concerning are PAS supporters’ attitude of continuing to support and
praise Siti Mastura merely because her lies have caused anger among DAP
leaders and supporters as well as ordinary Malaysians.
“PAS supporters are not bothered that she lied or made racist and extremist statements so long as it is against DAP leaders. “For
this reason, both PAS president Hadi and PN chairperson Muhyiddin must
state their position publicly whether they stand together with the
outrageous lies and malicious slander of Siti Mastura, or disagree with
her, thus requiring that she correct her actions,” he said.
Thunderbolt : LGE, good move. Sue them not only for civil offenses but also criminal offenses as well. Hope the judge will send her to prison to teach her and her party not to slander in a brainless manner.
DonGetMeWrong : Katak dibawah tempurung mentality should not be an MP. A disgrace to the August House. Sue until her pockets hurt and she has nothing to slander anymore.
One Malaysian : Call herself a PhD holder! Even a child can differentiate between Lim and Lee! A disgrace to her Alma mater!
