Hours after a video clip was made public, implicating her, Lim, the state assembly member for Sungai Pinang, was reported to have said that the phone call was from a youth leader of another political party.

She urged the person who released the video, the second in a week, to make a police report.
Lim’s father, Lim Keat Seong, has been held in remand for investigations by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission after a video clip was released last Sunday which purports to show her father accepting money from applicants for low-cost housing.
Siew Khim had then said that “I only knew about it on Sunday night.”
But another video clip was released yesterday morning of a conversation by chat messaging in which a mediator told a victim: “I contacted her and gave her (Siew Khim) one day to reply and find ways for her father to return the money.”
In another conversation, Siew Khim’s stepbrother Ong Hock Hin, purportedly said she had asked for a meeting to be arranged with the aggrieved parties.
Asked about the second clip, she said: “I did receive a call from a youth leader from another party some time last year but when I confronted my father, he denied any involvement”, Star Online reported. She denied asking her stepbrother to arrange for a meeting but would not comment on the second video.
“Why release bits and pieces? They should report it to the police with their evidence,” she was quoted as saying. Asked why she confirmed that she had confronted her father only after the second video surfaced, she said she could not remember it.
Penang MACC director Abdul Aziz Aban was not aware of the second video but said he would direct his officers to investigate it, the report said.
