DAP can’t ditch its old habits - Back to playing dirty tricks after pledge to quit hatred politics




DAP cannot seem to break its bad habit, irrespective of how sincere DAP parliamentary Lim Kit Siang sounded when he pledged to quit playing the politics of hatred. DAP is back to square one within 48 hours. This shows that DAP will always be linked to lies, hatred and intimidation!


Lim Kit Siang had earlier vowed to quit all sorts of lies, hatred and fear politics in the coming general election, including the campaign periods. But altered images slandering Barisan Nasional and MCA as sharing the same platform of PAS at a Ceramah Rakyat has emerged on social media.  

This again proves that any apology, pledge or promise is a bluff-filled crashing Rocket. DAP will not change its old self and break its bad habit. Lim Kit Siang’s pledge of not using lies, hatred and fear politics to fight against his opponents has been broken within 48 hours. An altered poster of BN’s Ceramah Rakyat in Penang’s Seberang Perai has been circulated with an added PAS’ logo to the image, in attempts of slandering BN leaders being on the same stage as PAS leaders. This appears aimed at accusing BN and MCA of accepting PAS as their ally. 

Although DAP has severed ties with PAS, PKR has not given up on PAS, and did not sack the 3 PAS excos from the Selangor government administration. In order to cover up their incompetence and helplessness in the Pakatan, DAP has to train its gun at MCA, so as to cover up its failure through slanders and lies.

DAP has run out of ideas and can only resort to using dirty tricks. DAP is clear that only through slanders and defamation, can they continue to rule the state of Penang, and deceive the people.
