Was DAP unhappy when Dr M accepted defectors, asks PKR
Dr Mahathir Mohamad, then Bersatu chairman, welcoming ex-Umno MPs [frogs] into his party in February 2019.
PETALING JAYA: A top PKR leader has hit out at DAP’s absence from a Pakatan Harapan (PH) event to unveil its candidates for the Melaka state election.
The PKR leader, who spoke on condition of anonymity, questioned the “unhappiness” expressed by a high-ranking DAP leader earlier today.
The DAP leader said party leaders were absent at the event because PKR and Amanah had accepted two former Umno defectors into the fold.
In response, the PKR leader said: “PKR and Amanah took in one ex-Umno assemblyman each, and DAP is ‘unhappy’. But where was DAP’s unhappiness when Dr Mahathir Mohamad welcomed 13 active Umno MPs into Bersatu and PH?”

'Tuk, no worries, yours are NOT frogs, but tiin kai - these are sweet and juicy
He was referring to an exodus of Umno MPs a year after the 2018 general election. They later joined Bersatu, which was then a partner in the then ruling PH coalition.
DAP leaders have been vocal in opposing the acceptance of any of the four assemblymen whose defection triggered the fall of the Melaka government.
Today, PH chairman Anwar Ibrahim announced the candidacy of two of the four, Idris Haron and Nor Azman Hassan.
At the unveiling of candidates, only PKR president Anwar and his Amanah counterpart Mohamad Sabu were present. No DAP leader could be seen in attendance.

Rubbish...back in 2018/2019 so many DAP leaders protested when Bersatu accepted UMNO members, but DAP had no control over who another party accepts as members. They can only voice protest. Just like now they can only protest but they have no control over who PKR or Amanah want to accept as members.
ReplyDeleteIn any case DAP have learned the painful lesson....but PKR and Amanah have not.

only the salt-of-the-Earth DAP members dared object to frogs - Lims kuai kuai silent as puppets
DeleteWe are aware the Lims' b***s somehow shrink when it involves the old buffoon.
ReplyDeleteThe 2 Lims should let the younger generation take over DAP. The Lims pandering to the old fool was, quite frankly, embarrassing.
The old Lim made a vow regarding the old fool handing over the PMship over to Anwar. The promise to hand over to Anwar was not kept. And the vow by the elder Lim was of course, forgotten. High principles indeed!
