Guan Eng to voters: Don’t judge on race, but on who’s clean, can pay civil salaries

DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng has called on Tanjung Piai voters to judge candidates based on their parties abilities to, among others, handle the economy and pay civil servants’ salaries.

Speaking to reporters following the nomination of candidates for the Nov 16 by-election today, Lim urged the candidates and political parties to shun the racial and religious rhetoric when campaigning.

Instead, Lim, who is also the Finance Minister, said parties should campaign on a platform of who is clean, free from corruption and is best able to handle the economy.

“Let this campaign proceed without issues on (racial and religious) sentiments being played up. Let’s not compete based on slander and unfounded accusations,” he said to reporters.

“(To voters,) let us compare which party is cleaner, which party is not involved in corruption. Let’s compare based on their abilities and capabilities to handle the economy, which party can pay government staff salaries,” he said.

I am SHOCKED by Guan Eng's statement of 'voting for party which can pay civil salaries'.

Is he saying, Pakatan is paying your salaries, so you lot blardy well vote for Pakatan?

OMG, how far has Guan Eng jatuh from his erstwhile moralistic perch.
