Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 30.1.2012

UMNO and Utusan Malaysia Has Lost Credibility Even Amongst Malays When Utusan Malaysia Was Found Guilty By The Penang High Court Of Spreading Lies And Ordered To Pay RM200,000 For Defaming Me As Anti-Islam And Anti-Malay.

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhydin Yassin’s attack on DAP as chauvinistic and anti-Malay as well as Utusan Malaysia’s incendiary statement that DAP is the world’s most racist party shows their sheer frustration that more and more Malays no longer believe in UMNO and Utusan until some have even joined the DAP. Utusan Malaysia has lost credibility even amongst Malays when Utusan Malaysia was found guilty by the Penang High Court of spreading lies and ordered to pay RM200,000 for defaming me as anti-Islam and anti-Malay.

Tan Sri Muhyidin has no right to call DAP chauvisnistic when DAP is multi-racial and open to all Malaysians whereas Tan Sri Muhydin is Malay first and Malaysian second. Tan Sri Muhyidin’s refusal to condemn Utusan Malaysia for calling the tragic May 13 riots which caused the deaths of thousands of Malaysians, mainly non-Malays, as a
sacred day shows who is the real chauvinist and racist.

Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 18.1.2012

Chua Soi Lek Should State Which Seat He Is Standing In The Next General Elections So That We Can See His Response If DAP Does A “Liow Tiong Lai Act” By Declaring Confidence Of Beating Chua.

MCA President Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek should state which seat he is contesting in the next general elections so that we can see his response if DAP does a “Liow Tiong Lai act” by declaring confidence in defeating Chua. DAP is not interested in playing the boastful games of MCA, when the only one making political challenges is the MCA and not DAP.

I wish to remind MCA President Chua Soi Lek that Continue reading ‘Chua Soi Lek Should State Which Seat He Is Standing In The Next General Elections （en/cn）’

THE MALAYSIAN DREAM OF CHANGE, MODERATION AND HOPE

After nearly 4 years since the political tsunami of 8 March 2008, we now stand on the horizon of a General Election that is set to become the most critical General Election in the history of Malaysia.

For the first time, we will be contesting as part of a grand coalition called Pakatan Rakyat. For the first time, we will be contesting not merely to deny Barisan Nasional’s two-thirds majority but to win power. For the first time, Malaysians will have an alternative that is united, viable and proven.

Celebrating Hope In Penang By Establishing A People-Centric Government Based On Integrity. Good Governance And Letting The People Realise Their Full Potential.

Christians celebrate not just the birth of Jesus Christ but also hope on Christmas Day. We pray for peace, joy and goodwill to all. Penang also celebrates hope by establishing a people-centric government based on integrity, good governance and letting the people realise their full potential.

Penang has benefited from a clean government. It is not just praise for good financial management from the Auditor-General or from Transparency International for implementing open tenders and fighting corruption. Penang has recorded budget surpluses for the state government, MPPP and MPSP since 2008.

Speech By DAP Secretary-General And Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In The Penang DAP State Annual Convention At Pearl View Hotel In Prai, Penang On 11.12.2011.

DAP’s greatest twin successes in the last 45 years is becoming a partner in government, especially capturing power in Penang, and proving our competency in providing good governance for Penang. When we were in political wilderness, our leaders and members were not only hounded and persecuted by the BN government, we were also ridiculed and humiliated for daring to dream of a better Malaysia by replacing BN.

I would like to thank all our veteran leaders and members who have played an important historical role in DAP’s march to history and power. Without your sacrifices and contribution in our glorious past we will not be here in the present today.

As difficult it is to win power, retaining power is equally difficult. We have to overcome not just inexperience but also skeptics from our political opponents to our own supporters who doubted our ability to govern well.

A Police Report Will Be Lodged Against UMNO Online Within 48 Hours If No Withdrawal And Apology Is Made By UMNO Online For Their Dirty Politics And Lies Against My Young Son That He Outraged The Modesty Of His Girl Classmate.

Both my wife and I are outraged at the continued attacks by BN leaders on the lies about my young old son outraging the modesty of his girl classmate, causing him to be transferred to another school and that I had even paid RM200,000 to the girl’s family to hush up the matter. I had wanted to let the matter rest after my young son, who is not even 16, was proven innocent.

UMNO’s Senator Ezam Mohamad Nor’s Arrest Proves That Penang UMNO Is A Coward For Denying UMNO’s Involvement In A Violent Illegal Demonstration

UMNO’s Senator Ezam Mohamad Nor’s Arrest Proves That Penang UMNO Is A Coward For Denying UMNO’s Involvement In A Violent Illegal Demonstration On 1.7.2011 In Komtar And The Penang Bridge That Disrupted Traffic For 10 Km And Attacked Two Reporters.

The Penang state government is shocked by Penang UMNO State Liaison Chairman Datuk Zainal Abidin Osman’s blatant and open lie that UMNO is not involved in a violent demonstration on 1.7.2011 in Komtar and the Penang Bridge that severely disrupted traffic for 10 Km and attacked two reporters from Chinese newspapers.

Instead of trying to deny and cover-up UMNO’s involvement, Datuk Zainal should have sought public forgiveness and apologised for UMNO’s involvement. Video footage of the illegal assembly and the arrest of UMNO Senator Ezam Mohd Nor by the police for illegal assembly proves that UMNO is a coward for trying to deny its involvement and is a classic reminder of the Malay proverb, “baling batu sembunyi tangan”.

Full Support For Hannah And Ramachandran’s Quest For Their Child To Be Simply Known As Malaysians(en/bm/cn).

Published on June 9, 2011, 1:25 pm in Party. 0 Comments

1Malaysia Another Empty Slogan When Being A Malay First, Chinese First Or Indian First Is More Important Than Malaysian First.

The sorry spectacle of the National Registration Department (NRD) refusing to allow DAP State Assemblywoman for Subang Jaya Hannah Yeoh and her husband Ramachandran Muniandy to register her new born child as ‘Anak Malaysia’ as an official ethnicity, shows that 1Malaysia. Clearly BN is so racist that being a Malay First, Chinese, First or Indian First is more important than being a Malaysian First.

DAP is proud of both Hannah and Ramachandran for living and practicing DAP’s Malaysian Malaysia and Malaysian First spirit that we are all inextricably bound together by our common destiny as one nation. By deliberately forcing us into ethnic boxes BN is not celebrating diversity nor creating a common Malaysian identity, but opportunistically playing divide and rule politics.

MCA’s Failure To Ensure Overseas Scholarships Are Given To The 86 Top SPM Students Proves That Chua Soi Lek Has Failed His Own Test On Whether MCA Should Be In Or Out Of Cabinet and Government – There Is No Difference!

DAP will not bow to threats from MCA, which is adopting Perkasa’s methods of using race, to cover up their failure to fulfil their promises to obtain overseas scholarships for the 86 top SPM students. Deputy Education Minister Datuk Wee Ka Siong had described this year’s awards as “the most nonsensical ever” where top SPM students were given scholarships for diploma courses whilst those with lower grades got overseas scholarships.

DAP Not Interested In The Tiff Between UMNO And MCA Or Internal MCA Rivalries But Whether The BN Government Can Fully Disclose The Details Of All PSD Scholarship Holders And Ensure That All Top Students Get Overseas Scholarships?

DAP is not interested in the tiff between UMNO and MCA or internal MCA rivalries but whether the BN government can fully disclose the details of all Public Service Department (PSD) scholarship holders given on merit and ensure that all top students can get overseas scholarship. PSD had reserved 300 overseas scholarships for top students based purely on merit and not on race. Wee had claimed that not all these 300 overseas scholarships given were to top students based on merit.

MCA Youth chief and Deputy Education Minister Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong and Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz had a public dispute over who was lying on whether there were abuses in the award of PSD scholarship. Wee had earlier exposed cases of top 8A+ students denied overseas scholarships granted to those with poorer results. Nazri had vehemently denied Wee’s claims of abuses of power as baseless.
