KUALA LUMPUR, May 10 — Recalling DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang’s ‘quit’ dare on May 10, 2019 during the Sandakan by-election, Umno deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan today asked why Lim has not stepped down from politics.

Mohamad, who is popularly known as Tok Mat, raised this question as he recalled Lim’s willingness to bet his political career on Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s pledge that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will be the next prime minister.

He said it has been two years since the pledge was made by Dr Mahathir, and instead of becoming prime minister Anwar has returned as leader of the Opposition bloc and Lim as an Opposition MP in Parliament.

“Lim made the bet in wake of my statement in which I said that I was not sure if Dr Mahathir will fulfill his promise to resign as the prime minister and pass it on to Anwar after two years.

“Lim who said he trusted Dr Mahathir made a bet that he would retire from politics and will not contest in the 15th General Election (GE15) if Dr Mahathir does not fulfil his promise.

Mohamad pointed out that Lim’s predictions has derailed.

“Lim has promised to step down from politics many times, but these promises were never fulfilled. He continues to contest in the election as if DAP would have no direction without his presence,” he said.

Mohamad added that he has given up on Lim’s bets since the latter’s political journey has always been painted by bets, false promises and failures.


Lim had in 2019 said he has more confidence in Dr Mahathir and he was prepared to have a wager with Mohamad that Dr Mahathir will honour the Pakatan Harapan commitment to pass the prime minister’s post to Anwar.

He had said that if Dr Mahathir does not pass the prime M-minister’s post to Anwar and instead dissolve Parliament to call for early GE15, he will retire from politics and will not contest in the general election.

Lim also challenged Mohamad to do the same, if the former wins the bet.

In a campaign speech at Sandakan in May 2019, Mohamad claimed that Dr Mahathir will not keep his promise of passing on the prime minister’s post to Anwar even after two years.

The Rantau state assemblyman said he was familiar with Dr Mahathir’s character and from what he knows, the latter will not relinquish the post to Anwar.

  1. LKS is leading the charge against the abuse of power by the PN government by shutting up parliament and yet KT repeatedly gives light to a "bet" with Tok Mat that never was.

    The same Tok Mat, the former NS MB who could not explain how he got 10 million ringgit and why he used a money changer instead of a proper bank, to transfer the money to the UK.

    The money transfer was illegal but it was the poor moneychanger got into trouble. Tok Mat got off scott free.

    Such is the depths KT has come down to.

    Negri Sembilan MB freed of blame in illegal funds transfer case

    KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 18 — Putrajaya confirmed today that no charges would be brought against Negri Sembilan Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan for allegedly violating banking laws when he transferred RM10 million to London through a moneychanger in 2008.

    In a Parliamentary written reply here, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Nancy Shukri explained that the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) cleared Mohamad of any wrongdoing when it found the funds were clean and decided instead to punish the moneychanger that had helped remit the money to a London account.

    The AG’s Office was of the opinion that it was more appropriate to take action on the moneychanger,” Nancy said in a written reply to Seremban DAP lawmaker Anthony Loke.

    The statement, however, did not explain why the Negri Sembilan MB had wanted to transfer the money overseas through a currency-exchange company although it was clearly illegal.

    The case had come under a Bank Negara probe after the central bank launched a wide-scale investigation into illegal overseas remittances in 2009.

    The investigation later led to the shutdown of the country’s three biggest moneychangers, which were found guilty of breaching the Money-Changing Act 1998.

    I am surprised that the UMNO deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan has descended to the level of paid UMNO cybertroopers, asking why I had not stepped down from politics.

    I had said at the Sandakan by-election in May last year that I was prepared to have a wager with Mohamad that Mahathir will keep his word to pass on the Prime Minister’s post to Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and will not dissolve Parliament to call for fresh elections instead, but Mohamad had not dared to accept the wager although I gave him two days to do so.

    No one will be surprised if the paid UMNO cybertroopers work overtime to distort the issue but it is most surprising that Mohamad is in the very forefront of this campaign when he himself was partly responsible for the series of “Sheraton Hotel” events which made the subject completely academic – toppling not only the Mahathir premiership and Pakatan Harapan government, but allowing a second wave of the Covid-19 outbreak in Malaysia resulting in 6,656 cases and 108 deaths.

    Will Mohamad accept responsibility for this second wave of Covid-19 outbreak which caused the imposition of the movement control order (MCO) on March 18 and which has now been extended till June 9?
