MIC moots CM and wife to undergo lie detector


An MIC leader has suggested that Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, his wife Betty Chew Gek Cheng and Lim's former employee Ng Phaik Kheng subject themselves to a lie detector test to end the controversy linked to them.

MIC welfare and social bureau deputy chairperson Ramanan Ramakrishnan said the test would be the best way for the three of them to clear their name in the wake of the controversy.

"The three of them should undergo a lie detector test to prove to the people that no scandal had occurred (between Lim and Ng)," he said when contacted.

The controversy involving Lim, Betty Chew and Ng erupted last week in the Malacca state assembly sitting after Duyong state assemblyperson Gan Tian Loo asked Betty Chew (DAP-Kota Laksamana) whether she knew Ng.

At a news conference last Saturday, Betty Chew denied that her husband, Lim, had had an affair with Ng, who had been an employee at the Penang Chief Minister's Office.

Ramanan asked why Ng had opted to remain silent and not comment on the matter.
