IPOH: A former DAP Petaling MP has lodged a police report against Ipoh Timor MP Lim Kit Siang for alleged seditious remarks made during campaigning in the recent general election.
Oh Keng Seng, 65, an MP from 1974 to 1978, said it was regretful that after 42 years in active politics, Lim would use inciting words to get elected.
He and another former DAP member Chong Kim Sang lodged a police report against Lim at the Ipoh district police station on Tuesday. Oh, who left the DAP in 1978 over differences with the party leadership, joined Gerakan in 1990. He also stood against Lim during the 1995 general election for Tanjung parliamentary seat, losing by more than 6,000 votes.
Chong, who also left the party that same year, lambasted Lim for his irresponsible remarks.
Lim declined to comment.
