Former finance minister Lim Guan Eng is threatening to sue incumbent Pasir Salak MP Tajuddin Abdul Rahman for defamation.

This is over the latter’s claim that, during Lim's tenure, the Finance Ministry had become like a Chinese temple that was unwelcoming to Malays.

Lim told a press conference in Penang today that his lawyers will be sending a letter of demand to Tajuddin.
