The necessary destruction of DAP

MM Online - Minister: BN to prepare manifesto specifically for Penang (extracts):

BUKIT MERTAJAM, July 23 — Barisan Nasional (BN) will draw up a manifesto specifically for Penang, to give people in the state the opportunity to choose between the two opposing coalitions, BN and Pakatan Harapan, in the coming 14th general election.

Communications and Multimedia Minister, Datuk Seri Salleh Said Keruak said Penang BN would outline several policies and programmes to be implemented if BN is given the mandate to govern the state.

“DAP has ruled Penang for nine years, with 51 promises made to the people and they have been given the opportunity to evaluate this. Surely, the people could study and see whether the state government has fulfilled these promises or not.

“The people should be able to choose. We want to practise healthy politics. We are offering a promise to the people of Penang and let them choose. They will be able to see the weaknesses. We want to compete in a healthy manner, with the people determining the outcome.”

Well, BN (including its predecessor Perikatan or in Penang Hokkien, P'ang Choon - kapal layar) ruled Penang for 51 years (1957 - 2008) during which we saw Penang became a sleepy hollow, lost its free port status, Georgetown lost its city status, and its development fell far far behind Selangor.

We also saw our hope of 1969, the Gerakan Party, become a 'useless' party under its 3rd Gerakan CM in its claim to represent us, the rakyat of Penang.

Gerakan's abysmal incompetence was clearly and shamefully obvious in the case of the 2006 illegal demolition of a Taoist temple (Tou Mu Kong) in Bukit Mertajam where the police acted like gungho cowboys, threatened the temple authorities and their representative, and started shooting, while the BN CM dared not even speak out against the illegalities.

The arrogance of UMNO-ites was grossly despicable and intolerant in destroying that Taoist Temple against a 'stay' order by the Penang state 'exco' and exacerbated by the FACT that the temple was standing on its OWN land.

See my 2006 posts to know why the demolition of the temple was conducted illegally by the Deputy CM at that time, abetted by the feral and intolerant Islamist Seberang Perai Municipal Council (MPSP) and local PDRM:

20 Nov 2006 - Tragic religious intolerance.

21 Nov 2006 - Temple demolition, Koh TK's authority demolished.

23 Nov 2006 - Penang deputy CM behind Taoist temple demolition.

27 Nov 2006 - An island cursed & it's not Langkawi!.

For those intolerant MPSP staff and police, their arrogant, feral intolerance was a case of:

"Rumah besar tak berani, Rumah tokong tak peduli".

Thus, no matter how bad the Pakatan state government (as led by the DAP since 2008) might have been or is, it will never be as rotten as the previous BN government.

The BN or rather UMNO-led government has been damn shivering shit scared of the DAP for quite a while, with its covert cunning campaign focused on destroying the Rocket Party.

We have witnessed the RoS nasty insidious tactics against the DAP Party through an exaggerated disapproval of its CEC election in both 2012 and 2013.

While there could be justification for criticism of the 2012 CEC election, why should the disapproval of the 2013 elections be only raised in 2017, right on the virtual 'eve' of GE-14.

Why is the DG of RoS now cold shouldering a legitimate request from the DAP to see him, after having delayed an official letter for more than a week, which was only issued after the Deputy Home Minister ordered him to do so?

RoS in partnership with the EC are trying to sabotage the DAP's ability to stand in GE-14 as a legitimate political party which can use its own banner/logo.

Why has the so-called 'bungalow' corruption case against Lim Guan Eng been delayed for years? Will that UMNO-rised  'Sword of Damocles' hanging above Guan Eng's head be only brought into fruition on the eve of GE-014?

Why is the nonsensical sexual harassment accusation brought against the (then) teenage son of Lim Guan Eng still an open police file?

The above so-called sexual harassment accusation had long being dismissed by the so-called victim, a British chess master, Ms Anya Sun Corke.

On 21 Oct 2011, Malaysia-Today published Anya Corke: I Don’t Know Guan Eng’s Son (relevant extracts):

Anya Sun Corker 

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.

It seems UMNO sees the destruction of the DAP as necessary for the destruction of Pakatan Harapan.

MCA and Gerakan have but no choice but to attempt their best to destroy the DAP. Failing to win against DAP in GE-14 will spell their own doom.

With apologies to the late Cato the Elder, allow me to paraphrase his immortalised declaration against Rome's greatest enemy, Carthage:

'Ceterum autem censeo Carthaginem DAP esse delendam' 

(“Furthermore, I consider that Carthage DAP must be destroyed”)
