KUALA LUMPUR: The courts are the best place to decide on the charges against Lim Guan Eng and his wife Betty Chew, says MCA.

The emotions following the cases against the duo were expected as political figures were involved, said MCA publicity chief Chan Quin Er .

“Chew is the wife of a politician, but she is no ordinary housewife as she was also a DAP state assemblyman, ” Chan said.Chew served as a state assemblyman for Kota Laksamana from 2004 to 2013 and Durian Daun from 1999 to 2004.Lim is the DAP secretary-general, a Member of Parliament and a former finance minister.

Chan said the press conferences and road shows organised by DAP were aimed at generating political mileage.“Let the prosecutors prove the charges with complete details and the defence, to prove their innocence. “Anything that is said outside the courts would be sub judice and that would not be helpful, ” said Chan, a lawyer and MCA central committee member.She said DAP was playing the sympathy card to win support and its leaders had argued the defence through social media and the press.“Let us follow the court proceedings and not jump to conclusions or go overboard with claims of persecution, ” she added.
