32 years on, Lim maintains he has no idea why Lee quit


PETALING JAYA: DAP veteran politician Lim Kit Siang has denied telling former Bukit Bintang MP Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye that the party leadership had decided to move him to another seat for the 1990 general election as claimed in the latter’s recently released memoir.

“I never told Lee that he would not be contesting the Bukit Bintang constituency, and the thought of Lee contesting in any seat apart from Bukit Bintang had never occurred to me before the 1990 general election,” Lim said yesterday.
