“Don’t shoot the messenger”: Netizens pan Guan Eng over Rafizi’s remarks
WITH PKR vice president Rafizi Ramli announcing his return to active politics, it seems his statements had ruffled the feathers of several key leaders in Pakatan Harapan (Pakatan).
In an interview with Malaysiakini, DAP secretary general Lim Guan Eng said that perhaps Rafizi should challenge PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for his seat.
The former finance minister said this following the former Pandan MP’s scathing attacks against the coalition for not being able to move on post the infamous Sheraton Move, which ousted them from Putrajaya.
“I even issued a statement before his (Rafizi’s) statement came out – saying no Perikatan Nasional. Where is the issue?
“I think this one is basically directed at Anwar because he mentions not just Pakatan but PKR (as well). So, from there, it is clear that if there are any negotiations, they will talk to Anwar.
So, his (Rafizi’s) target is Anwar. I think that since this is for his campaign purposes for deputy president, I don’t want to get involved.
“Perhaps, instead of contesting for deputy president, he should contest for the president’s post straight,” Lim was reported as saying.
However, several netizens did not take Lim’s sarcasm lightly and berated the latter for apparently not being able to see the forest from the trees.

Guanee is just too sensitive, too thin skin. He cannot take criticism of any sorts even if those criticisms are not directed at him - problem, he thinks he is perfect and beyond reproach, wakakaka.
But what disgusts me has been his underhanded below-the-belt snipe at both Rafizi and Anwar, by alluding that Rafizi was gunning for Anwar. I have been utterly gutted by his 'small-person' mentality and tactics, his batu-api-ism and also by his nosy poke into PKR affairs.
He lacks civility, courtesy and commonsense.
Guanee is a perfect reflection on the surface of the turbid water of the evangelical Christian party.
