Lim Kit Siang ain't no Simon Weisenthal

From Wikipedia (selected extracts):

Simon Wiesenthal (31 December 1908 – 20 September 2005) was a Jewish Austrian Holocaust survivor, Nazi hunter, and writer.

He ... was living in Lwów at the outbreak of World War II. He survived the Janowska concentration camp (late 1941 to September 1944), the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp (September to October 1944), the Gross-Rosen concentration camp, a death march to Chemnitz, Buchenwald, and the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp (February to 5 May 1945).

After the war, Wiesenthal dedicated most of his life to tracking down and gathering information on fugitive Nazi war criminals so that they could be brought to trial.

In 1947 he co-founded the Jewish Historical Documentation Centre in Linz, Austria, where he and others gathered information for future war crime trials and aided refugees in their search for lost relatives.

[...]

He played a small role in locating Adolf Eichmann, who was captured in Buenos Aires in 1960, and worked closely with the Austrian justice ministry to prepare a dossier on Franz Stangl, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1971. [...]

Adolf Eichmann 

Wiesenthal spent time at his office at the Documentation Centre of the Association of Jewish Victims of the Nazi Regime in Vienna even as he approached his ninetieth birthday. 

The last Nazi he had a hand in bringing to trial was Untersturmführer Julius Viel, who was convicted in 2001 of shooting seven Jewish prisoners. [...] 

Wiesenthal retired (c.2004), saying "I have survived them all. If there were any left, they'd be too old and weak to stand trial today. My work is done".

For close to 60 years he hunted Nazi war criminals.

The Forex debacle under Mahathir's government is only 20 years old, where close to 100 billion ringgit at today's value was said to be lost. 

I wonder whether that would be in addition to the RM100 Billion that Barry Wain wrote of Mahathir wasting and losing in his 22-year reign as PM. Think Maminco, Forex, Perwaja, etc etc etc.

Many criticised his cabinet at that time of the Forex debacle for not saying anything.

But as we know, who dared to question Mahathir in his actions, unless he was prepared to leave the cabinet or even UMNO, as had Ku Li, Musa Hitam, Anwar Ibrahim (expelled for corruption, then jailed for sodomy) and AAB (releasing Anwar from jail, crooked bridge affair)?

Oh, isn't it interesting to note that Malaysiakini reported:

After more than two decades, DAP veteran lawmaker Lim Kit Siang has finally got his wish - a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on Bank Negara's foreign exchanges losses in the late 80s and early 90s.

However, Lim is not thrilled.

I wonder why, when Lim KS had even written a book on the Forex Naughtiness and criticised Anwar Ibrahim as Finance Minister for evasive answers in Parliament?

Wakakaka. What a shameful act of putar-belit-ism!

Time for Lim KS to retire.

Oh, BTW, Lim Kit Siang in his heydays (when I idolised him, wakakaka) wrote the following books:

1. Malaysia in the Dangerous 80s (1982)
2. Constitutional Crisis in Malaysia (1983)
3. The BMF Scandal (1984)
4. Human rights In Malaysia (1985)
5. BMF – The Scandal Of Scandals (1986)
6. The North-South Highway Scandal (1987)
7. Prelude To Operation Lalang (1990)
8. The Dirtiest General Elections In The History of Malaysia (1991)
9. The Bank Negara RM30 Billion Forex Losses Scandal (1994)
10. Pendedahan Skandal Kewangan – Siapa Petualang FELCRA? (1994)
11. Land Acquisition Act – Abuses, Injustices, Reform (1994)
12. Economic & Financial Crisis (1998)
13. Political & Economic Crisis in Malaysia(1998)
14. The Budget That Was Never Passed (1999)
15. Constitutional Case of the Millennium (2000)
16. BA & Islamic State (2001)
17. No To 929 (2002)

In case you don't know No 17, please read Lim's rave and rant against Mahathir in the 929 & 617 Declarations where Lim also said:

... the DAP CEC would consider proposal to take Mahathir to court for his “929 Declaration” and his “617 Announcement” that Malaysia is an Islamic fundamentalist state.

Younger people today have unfairly criticised one of DAP's greatest stalwarts, Lee Lam Thye, for retiring from partisan politics and then taking up roles in government and NGO appointed posts without realising the monumental contribution by Lee, and what he had done for the rakyat. Those critics should shut their rotten gaps and grow more pubic hair.

Lee's post-political jobs are not unlike a Gerakan senior politician in Penang being appointed by the DAP-led Pakatan government in 2008 to handle the government's businesses, because he was/is most qualified, yet I haven't heard anyone from the Pakatan side condemning that former Gerakan politician.

Haven't Lim Kit Siang become relatively far worse (and justified in his case) than Lee Lam Thye?

Bullshit 

Jangan mempunyai double-standard lah, you pack of mongrels.

Wakakaka again.
