KUALA LUMPUR, 5 May — DAP’s Tan Sri Lim Kit Siang has challenged Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to explain his apparent shift from identifying as “Malay first” to “Malaysian first.”

The DAP veteran recalled that Muhyiddin once openly declared himself “Malay first, Malaysian second” while serving in government.


“The first question: When was he converted from ‘Malay first, Malaysian second’ to ‘Malaysian first, Malay second’?

“Second question: Is he prepared to lead a campaign to urge all Malaysians to see themselves as nationality first, ethnicity second?” Lim said in a statement.


In 2010, Muhyiddin openly declared that he was “Malay first” while he was the deputy prime minister under Najib Razak’s government.



However, he yesterday distanced himself from that remark, claiming his “Malay first” stance is in the past and emphasising that he and his coalition, Perikatan Nasional, now care for all Malaysians regardless of ethnicity.

Muhyiddin made the claim while attending an “Indian unity” gathering organised by the Malaysian Indian People’s Party.


Today, Lim questioned the sincerity of the shift and asked whether the PN chairman would now lead a national push for unity over race.

LKS don't be too cocky - you abandoned TBH to cosy up to MACC just a mere year after promising his family you would bring justice for him. You're an opportunist

Chu'oi Soo Ong - Raja Gadoh

WTF is smug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug Lim Kit Siang up to?

Why the fCk would MCA, Gerakan, MIC etc claim the money found in Najib's house? It's an UMNO business so why is LKS dragging MCA, Gerakan, MIC into it?

The 14th Election is already over and please note GE15 is still 5 years away, yet this Chu'oi Soo Ong atau Raja Gadoh masih terus cari pasal. He even cucuk for re-election in Perlis when another party had won 10 out of 15 state seats.

A born vitriolic banshee and professional agitator, LKS just has to cucuk and cucuk to prevent sleeping dogs lying peacefully.

If he is so free and full of toxic energy please resume his pre-Pakatan Harapan rants against Mahathir lah, that is, if he has the balls.

I was born a trouble-maker, one par excellence

Life would be meaningless without shit-stirring
In my career there is no such thing as balance
I fling poo around regardless if that's deserving

I close one eye to "M"atey's humongous follies
To lull gullible guppies that all is bloody well
Now, tok kok most time is among my hobbies
Masking sonny's f*up to say his work is swell

I am restless because there's less stuff to bull
So I'm gonna make de bloody UMNO apologise
Then shooting off to KK where it is damn cool
To ask folks there if they'd like to circumcise

I am known as a bloody trouble-making assh@le
It's in my DNA so what I do is grin at other's woes
Though I have lived long in reality I have no soul
Other than to find faults and poke others' noses

I'm D'informal Pakatan Minister Plenipotentiary
I can give orders, fCk people up & make policies
Thus I'm warning "resign or be fCk' to Apandi Ali
And promises to find justice for TBH are fallacies

what a fCking hypocrite and traitor to Teoh Beng hock's family and his memory

and just one lousy year after his pathetic pompous speech vowing:

Beng Hock’s death would be “in vain” if firstly, his killers remain free and unpunished; and secondly, the MACC is not held responsible and liable for his death and instead allowed to “go to great lengths” to participate in a “cover-up” of the actual causes and circumstances of Beng Hock’s death at the TBH RCI, with MACC officers telling “lies after lies” at the RCI.

I call on Malaysians to stand for justice and to make a commitment that they will not rest until the “cover-up” of Teoh Beng Hock’s criminal and senseless murder is exposed and the killers, including MACC, are brought to justice.
