PETALING JAYA: Veteran DAP politician Lim Kit Siang denies telling former Bukit Bintang MP Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye that the party leadership had decided to field him in another seat for the 1990 general election as claimed in the latter's newly 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," said Kit Siang in a statement on Saturday (June 18).
