Anya Corke: I don’t know Guan Eng’s son

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 21 — The girl whose photograph was used by pro-Umno bloggers to level accusations of sexual harassment against Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng’s son has denied ever meeting or hearing of the 16-year-old schoolboy.

Chess grandmaster Anya Sun Corke said today that she was “shocked, dismayed and baffled” as to how her photo was used without her knowledge or consent.

“I have never met or even heard of any of the people involved. I have never been physically assaulted in any way. I have never been victimised in any way by this boy or his family.

“The only way in which my ‘modesty was outraged’ has been by the publication of my picture in connection with these scurrilous and unfounded rumours,” the undergraduate at Wellesley College said in a statement.

Pro-Umno bloggers had claimed that Lim’s son had assaulted a 16-year-old schoolmate and tried to escape punishment by using his father’s name.

But the DAP showed at a press conference on Wednesday screenshots from the blogs which used pictures of Corke that matched those from www.chessbase.com.

Lim had denied the allegations on Tuesday, saying he was furious with the “barbaric lies” made about his teenage son by “pro-Umno ferocious beasts.”

His colleagues in Pakatan Rakyat (PR) have come out strongly in support of the DAP secretary-general against what they call “the lowest gutter politics” seen in decades.

The principal of SMK Heng Ee in George Town also moved two days ago to put an end to the accusations, calling them “completely untrue.”

Sensing growing public anger, Umno MPs have been quick to distance themselves from the allegations.

Corke said today that she has not visited Malaysia for seven years.

“I would also like to express my sympathies to the boy who was defamed by these baseless allegations.

“Last but not least, I hope that members of the public and the Malaysian media will respect my privacy and refrain from making unsolicited contact with me and my family, college, chess federation, and any other affiliation,” she said.

According to Corke’s Wikipedia listing, she “is a Woman Grandmaster and the top chess player from Hong Kong who is currently playing for England.”

She earned the title with her performance in 36th Chess Olympiad, playing for the Hong Kong men’s team.

She was the 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2008 Hong Kong National Champion (for men and women), thought to be one of the youngest national champions ever.

    I am worry on the way major stream news play their game. Is there any where pakatan can counter the false reporting more effectively than now.

    Many of my malay colleagues who was once supporter of pakatan is now believing all reports appear in utusan melayu, tv3 & etc.

    They are educated and they believe in MSM REPORTS.

    Slowly and surely they were brainwashed

    Pakatan must do something about it like bersih rally to creat awareness. Other wise , pakatan is in disadvantages position

    Just looking at that idiotic blogger bum face makes one vomit. So despicable and venomous. Possibly one of those nothing to do bums from that dickhead in Perkasa or the Umnoputras politicians. Another similarly despecable is that garbage reporting media UM. It has truly sunk to the bottom of the pit. I believe there’s no newspaper in the world that has gone lower than Utusan.

    Not only it has lost all credibility with it fictitious reporting and propaganda spouting, it has gone incoherent.

    On one hand, it say “a denial is insufficient to clean Lim’s family name”, essentially insinuating that the family is guilty, then reiterated “that Lim and his son should not be portrayed as guilty until proven otherwise”. How is that going to jive?

    What Utusan did is essentially portraying that the family is guilty as charged and that LGE (Lim Guan Eng) must prove his family’s innocent by asking the police to run a thorough investigation, yet, it has the cheek to say that the Lim and his son should not be portrayed as guilty until proven otherwise.

    Isn’t this as good as saying, ‘Do what Utusan said, but not what Utusan did?’ What a hypocrite!!!
