BLOG writers and Instagram users stand to win RM10,000 if they can provide proof that DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang is a racist and a party dictator.

Umno informatio­n chief Tan Sri Annuar Musa said the prize money was up for grabs in a competitio­n.

“People can submit their entries to the office of the Umno informatio­n chief for the contest which ends on May 30.

“I will raise the money for the winner,” he said to reporters at the media centre in Parliament yesterday.

Annuar said the blog posts and Instagram pictures should be based on facts such as parliament­ary Hansard reports, past speeches and books connected with Lim.

Annuar said Lim was free to call him names as they were politician­s.

“It is up to the public to make assessment­s on his statements against me.

“I will have to hire a long list of lawyers and go in and out of courtrooms if I sue him over such statements,” he said
