POLICE have confirmed receiving two reports against Kepala Batas MP Siti Mastura Muhammad over her allegations that DAP chairman Lim Guan Eng has familial ties with Communist Party of Malaya leader Chin Peng.

Seberang Perai Utara district police chief Mohd Asri Shafie said one of the reports was lodged by a group of individuals from the National DAP Veterans Club on Saturday.

“Yes, I confirm that Seberang Perai Utara district police headquarters has received two reports so far. However, the Kepala Batas MP’s statement will be recorded by the Bukit Aman Classified Crime Investigation Unit at its headquarters tomorrow,” he said when contacted by Bernama.

Earlier, Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain, in a statement, said the appointment for recording the statement of the Penang PAS women’s wing deputy chief was rescheduled to 11am tomorrow at Bukit Aman.

He added that the case is being investigated under section 505(b) of the penal code and section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.

Siti Mastura allegedly claimed that veteran DAP leader, Lim Kit Siang, who is also Guan Eng’s father, is a cousin of Chin Peng in a 46-minute, 51-second video of a recent political talk in Kemaman, Terengganu.

On Friday, Guan Eng said he had initiated legal action against Siti Mastura after the 48-hour deadline given to the PAS lawmaker to substantiate her claims lapsed the day before. – Bernama, November 13, 2023.
