“We will weigh our options out. As of now the statement that she made is as it is,” he said.

The Kepala Batas MP also claimed that DAP stalwart Kit Siang was a cousin of former Singapore Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew.
Siti allegedly made the claim during an election campaign for the Kemaman by-election.
