However, Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng denounced the hawker yesterday for making a 'false accusation' against the police.

Hawker Lim Thiam Fook decided to change his police statement and withdraw the allegation that he was extorted by three police officers on June 2 for failing to produce a letter granting him permission to operate during the "total lockdown".

However, the reasons behind his decision to change his police statement also seemed to change at a press conference with Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng yesterday. Initially, it was assumed that the 21-year-old hawker wanted to change his statement because he admitted he made false accusations in it and that the whole "extortion" incident did not take place.
