Mah denies being an Australian permanent resident
TELUK INTAN, May 7 (Bernama) -- Barisan Nasional candidate for Teluk Intan parliamentary constituency, Datuk Seri Mah Siew Keong has denied being a permanent resident of Australia.
He struck back at Perak DAP chairman Nga Kor Ming for the latter's baseless allegation, saying it would have been impossible for him to stand as a candidate in the general election since 2008.
"It is defamation and an attempt by Nga to tarnish my reputation and erode the voters' confidence in me.
"I lodge this police report for appropriate action to be taken, to protect myself from being a victim of ridicule and scorn," he told reporters after lodging the report at Hilir Perak Police Headquarters here today.
