Rahman scoring own goal — Kit Siang
TAWAU: Democratic Action Party (DAP) parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang said Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Dahlan should be praying that he (Lim) would remain in politics so that he could continue to be such a disastrous impact on DAP and Pakatan Harapan, which can only immensely benefit Umno/BN.
Lim said he wanted to ask the director of Barisan Nasional Strategic Communications and Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department has he gone bonkers and why was he scoring his own goal?
“On Saturday, Abdul Rahman rushed out a statement entitled: ‘Time For Lim Kit Siang To Resign From Politics’, he said in a press conference here yesterday.
“From Abdul Rahman’s gangrenous perspective, he argued that I should resign from politics for the following reasons:
1. I lack the confidence to take on Datuk Seri Najib Razak and BN by myself despite DAP being the largest political party in Pakatan, and am using Tun Mahathir Mohamad who is not even a member of parliament to spearhead Pakatan.
2. I am ‘pressed to the wall in desperation’, throwing away all principles.
3. ‘Without any hint of shame’ I am propelling Mahathir as the ‘saviour’ of Malaysia after attacking Mahathir for 22 years as Prime Minister of Malaysia.
4. That I have realised that I am ‘a huge liability to Pakatan Harapan’, and that I have ‘lost it’ (Abdul Rahman meaning presumably that I have lost all sense of proper forward direction for DAP and Pakatan Harapan).
Lim said something was very wrong with Abdul Rahman’s sense of judgement and priorities, from Umno/BN perspectives.
“These are the very reasons why I should remain in my position in Malaysian politics, as I such a useless decrepit old man whose word and deed is a great service to Umno/BN,” he said.
“Why then is Abdul Rahman so keen that I retire from politics, when he should be praying that I will remain in politics so that I can continue to be such a disastrous impact on DAP and Pakatan Harapan which can only immensely benefit the Umno/ BN?” he added.
Lim said for his part, he wanted Abdul Rahman Dahlan to remain as BN Strategic Communications Director for he is such a boon to Pakatan Harapan and such a bane to Umno/BN.
