Every Chinaman probably notices how the DAP provides near-perfect immunity for its leaders who “openly challenge everything Malay and Muslim” but demands obedience, tolerance and liberalism from the Malays on just about everything.
The Chinese have grown tired of Guan Eng, concerned that his abject failure as Minister of Finance to juggle the country’s circumstances will cost future generations dearly.
Many investors have already bolted, draining billions of dollars from local market vaults amid fears that the Finance Ministry’s jumble of “stylised and misleading” data and the redistribution of funds to make books look good simply means the economy is in trouble.
And that’s not even mentioning the RM6.3 billion Penang Undersea Tunnel scam, a huge smokescreen billowed from Guan Eng’s former office in Komtar to mask a massive land scam deal.
Lim Kit Siang took pot shots at everyone and everything that wasn’t Lim Guan Eng earlier today when laying out the cards on Pakatan Harapan’s future as ruling coalition.
Word on the ground is that the Chinese community has grown sick and tired of his son and fear that the DAP could bring about mayhem due to the way its leaders ‘bullied’ the Malay Muslims.
According to a theory, the Chinese are waking up to the idea that if the DAP continues to do this, there could be a Muslim uprising that would spell doom for the Chinese community.

The party has traditionally been anti-Malay, anti-Islam and pro-evangelist, with Kit Siang himself having challenged the use of Bahasa Melayu as the official language, the special privileges accorded to the Malays, Islamic leadership and the Bumiputra status.
In the eighties, he even told a forum in Universiti Malaya that underage kids were taken away from their parents and forcibly converted to Islam.
Recently, his son told a DAP convention that the PAS and UMNO philosophy was extremist as it forbade Christians from gathering for religious prayers.

The deal involved kickbacks promised to politicians, consultants and shareholders from Consortium Zenith Construction Sdn Bhd (Zenith), the holdings company overlooking the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) awarded the project.
It seems that the guys from the Penang Chinese Chambers of Commerce (PCCC) were complicit in a scheme to reap benefits from the wanton sale – or rather, ‘donation’ – of state land.
And here we have Kit Siang taking about “klepto this and klepto that,” desperately trying to shift the spotlight from the police report I lodged against his son and the fact that the Chinese may just vote for “anything but DAP” to kill the party off.
