PETALING JAYA: Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye says he stands by his statement as written in his recently released memoir, adding that he has no reasons to fabricate stories about the circumstances leading to his departure from DAP in 1990.

DAP veteran politician Lim Kit Siang had earlier refuted Lee’s statement about the reasons that led to the latter’s exit from DAP.
