PETALING JAYA: Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has refuted allegations that his son was transferred out from his school due to an offence.
He said he and his wife were furious that political bloggers and opponents had made false allegations against his son.
"My (Form Four) son had transferred to St Xavier's Institution in Penang from SMK (Cina) Heng Ee because I had promised him he could transfer to the school of his choice if he scored at least 6As in his PMR.
"When he achieved that, he was transferred at the beginning of the school term this year, in January 2011. My son wanted to go to SXI because he did not want to have his hair crew-cut as is required for Heng Ee students, but wanted to keep his hair longer."
Lim said for a young kid to be maligned in such a manner was unacceptable and inhumane.
"My son is very shaken up by these lies. He has also not gone back to school for two days. I feel sad that I am not able to protect my young son," Lim said in a statement Tuesday, blaming pro-Umno bloggers for the allegations.
"If you want to finish me off, do your worst to me but leave my innocent children alone," he said.
