DAP's darkest moment of non-principle

Star Online - Pakatan's proposal for Dr M and Wan Azizah to lead country meets opposition (extracts):

Pakatan Harapan has formally proposed Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as its candidate for prime minister and Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail as his deputy if the coalition triumphs in the next general election.

However, the decision, which was announced at the end of the coalition's two-day retreat in Putrajaya, ran into opposition from some attendees including a senior PKR leader.

According to multiple sources, Pribumi Youth leader Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman revealed that an internal poll showed that Selangor Mentri Besar and PKR deputy president Datuk Seri Azmin Ali was a leading choice among the wing's leaders.

The choice of Dr Mahathir and Dr Wan Azizah was apparently agreed upon by the top five leaders, or G5, of Pakatan on the sidelines of the retreat.

G5 refers to Pakatan chairman Dr Mahathir, president Dr Wan Azizah and deputy presidents Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, Lim Guan Eng and Mohamed Sabu.

Wan Azizah has been selected solely because she is the putative Boss of PKR and also the wife of, thus representing, iconic Anwar Ibrahim.

Anwar has always been the anointed leader of Pakatan Harapan but with his incarceration, Mahathir as the next & only reputable Malay leader of some strength has now been coopted and 'boosted' because of his supposed reputation (bad or good) that PH needs to break into the Heartland, a beachhead aim which useless PKR and even more useless PAS (once a PR member) have failed to achieve in 2008 and 2013.

As another Malay leader, Azmin Ali would be far far more capable (and willing) than Wan Azizah but alas, he is NOT trusted by many, especially in a sector of his own PKR, and in DAP. The latter (DAP) fears Azmin's (and Tian Chua's, wakakaka) notorious double-speak which the Rocket Party experienced to its immense agony and fury in Sarawak.

where's my stiletto?

OTOH, DAP as a credible federal opposition party has successfully captured the major Chinese and Indian dominated areas. Though its political aim has thus been achieved, damn and doggone it, it still has to wait frustratingly for PKR (and previously PAS) to do likewise (futilely) ... to such an extent it falls upon a Mahathir, currently desperate for an alliance, any alliance, to promote his OWN political aim (nothing to do with saving Malaysia).

If Najib has been more kuai kuai to his 'Uncle' Mahathir, the old man would not even have looked at the Cinakui DAP, let alone deign to speak to them.

Other than that, really, no one in DAP, PKR, Amanah wants to touch Mahathir the Mafulat Mahafiraun with a ten-foot pole, his 'bromance' with Lim Kit Siang notwithstanding.

Think of it, PH has just officially nominated its erstwhile enemy, a 93-year old former dictator with many alleged misdeeds yet to be properly accounted for, as its PM-designate. How sad and pathetic PH is.

To make things worse, it also nominates Wan Azizah, a known 'reluctant' politician, in another pathetic attempt to mollify some die-hard anti-Mahafiraun-ists in PKR. I have to at least acknowledge those PKR die-hards' resistance to a pact with a known Devil.

Meanwhile in the DAP camp, Lim Kit Siang has already bulldozed his personal 'strategy' (of power-craziness in his swansong act) of enlisting Mahathir as PH's new Boss. It's the DAP's darkest moment of non-principle, just because of one man governed by his own political twilight moment of power-craziness.

I am not sure how many in DAP have been embarrassed by Lim Kit Siang's power-obsessed strategy to ally the Rocket Party with its once arch-foe, but take for example, Kit Siang's two decades (20 years+) old campaign to 'probe' (investigate) Mahathir & gang for the FOREX loss of RM30.5 Billion (not mere millions) died a sudden/abrupt questionable death the moment the unspeakable abhorrent alliance between Mahathir and Lim took place.

He even supported the MACC just a mere year after after he promised Teoh Beng Hock's family he would seek justice for TBH falling to his death from the 14th Floor of the MACC HQ in Shah Alam while undergoing MACC interrogation.

The Mr Sellout of DAP!

DAP leader Lim Kit Siang shook hands with Rohaizad Yaakob, a top Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) official to show the opposition’s solidarity with the MACC

Yet just a year earlier Kit Siang in his article, titled "Malaysians will not rest until justice is done for the killing of Teoh Beng Hock" said DAP and Pakatan Rakyat would continue to highlight the injustice of Teoh Beng Hock’s unresolved murder

what utter bullshit

forgotten? justice for him abandoned by LKS 

How could Lim Kit Siang even consider supporting MACC? Has Lim no principle at all?

How fickle could Lim Kit Siang's principles be when he allowed into the once-hallowed halls of the DAP the grubby politics of unsavoury convenience?

Apa lagi 'principle' Lim Kit Siang ada?

And if the current PH's shameful cry to forget about a 20+ year-old national scandal in the FOREX loss, please explain why Lim Kit Siang was still campaigning for a RCI into the FOREX misuse of national funds ... until his alliance with Mahathir a mere 2 years ago?

Shouldn't he have stop campaigning for a RCI into FOREX say, 10 or 15 years ago, or even 5?

"No nid to cx anymore mah, Mahathir now kaki-lang?"

How disgusting has been Lim Kit Siang's politics of no-principle.

It indicates how a 20+ years of persistent campaign to investigate Mahathir for his alleged misuse of Bank Negara finances without cabinet approval (of 'real' sum, not 'misinformed' amount) and indeed without any 'check & balance' as if his grandfather owned that money, has been thrown away on a whim & fancy by Lim KS for a highly questionable alliance.

However, I have advised my family to continue voting for DAP, especially in Penang, but NOT if the candidate in their respective electorates is Lim Kit Siang. The f**king traitor who betrayed our trust and love for him through the years.
