A PENANG DAP assemblyman today lodged a police report regarding statements made by Pasir Salak MP Tajuddin Abdul Rahman about former finance minister Lim Guan Eng.

Seri Delima assemblyman Syerleena Abdul Rashid said she wanted the police to investigate Tajuddin, claiming his statement was racist.

“In the interview, the Pasir Salak MP made several false allegations that touched on racial sentiments, which can anger the public,” she said in George Town today.

Earlier, Timur Laut police chief Soffian Santong confirmed that two DAP representatives made a police report, but refused to comment further.

Media outlets had earlier reported that Lim, the DAP chairman, wanted to take legal action over Tajuddin’s comments as a panellist on the “Wacana Sinar” programme, claiming that Lim had made the Finance Ministry a Chinese temple, in addition to marginalising Malay officials. – Bernama, October 29, 2022.
