Siti Mastura binti Muhammad (born 27 August 1989) is a Malaysian politician who has served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Kepala Batas since November 2022. At the grassroots level, she is the deputy head of the Penang State PAS Muslim Council.^[1]

Controversies and issues

During her tenure as MP for Kepala Batas, she made defamatory allegations against Lim Guan Eng on his family ties with the first Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew and Malayan Communist Party leader Chin Peng.^[2]

In November 2023, Siti Mastura made the claim in her 46-minute speech to PAS’ Muslimat and young women wing members from Kemaman PAS, ahead of the upcoming Kemaman parliamentary by-election.

Aside from alleged family relations with Ong and Lee, Siti Mastura also claimed that Lim is related to other DAP leaders such as secretary-general Anthony Loke, Nga Kor Ming, Ngeh Koo Ham, and Teresa Kok.

Lim Guan Eng who is also DAP MP for Bagan criticised Siti Mastura's claim by added that: "This is not just a personal attack but has racial undertones as well. It is a spiteful allegation against my father (DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang) and me”. ^[3][4]
