Journalist group Gerakan Media Merdeka (Geramm) has lambasted DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang for what it deemed as his uncalled for verbal attack against a mainstream media reporter during a press conference at the home of Zaid Ibrahim yesterday morning.

Referring to a video of the incident uploaded by Internet broadcaster KiniTV, Geramm noted in its statement, that “Lim became visibly agitated and lost his cool when asked if he would be speaking about the BMF and Bank Negara forex scandals differently if former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad was not his ally now”.

“How have I said it differently? How? You can’t substantiate it, you are making a baseless allegation.
