PETALING JAYA: Yeo Bee Yin has dismissed an anti-graft group’s claim that her candidacy for the Puchong parliamentary seat in the general election (GE15) is a conflict of interest of “major proportions” because she is the spouse of one of the country’s key business leaders.

In a statement, the Center to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4 Center) said DAP had nominated the former Bakri MP for a parliamentary seat in an area where her in-laws possess “vast business interests”.

It said this indicated a “glaring blindspot” if the party was unaware of Yeo’s business connections.

Yeo is married to IOI Properties Group Berhad CEO Lee Yeow Seng, whose late father Lee Shin Cheng founded IOI Group Berhad, one of the country’s largest developers and plantation cultivators.
