Umno is ‘outsourcing its extremist demands’ to Perkasa – Kit Siang

DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang is accusing Umno for ‘outsourcing its extremist demands’ to the Malay rights group Perkasa led by Datuk Ibrahim Ali.

This came in light after Ibrahim called on the BN (Barisan Nasional) government to review its promises and pledges to the Chinese community of Hulu Selangor where it was reported that a majority of them voted for the opposition instead of the BN who won the by-election.

Lim told a local news portal that “It is very clear that Umno has outsourced its extremist demands to Perkasa.

The voice of Perkasa represents (the views) of the Umno extremists. This was a test for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak on whether his 1 Malaysia concept of unity was actually practised or a mere farce.

This is evidence of the failure of 1 Malaysia. The victory of BN in Hulu Selangor, is it the victory of 1 Malaysia? Perkasa’s demands are completely against the 1 Malaysia concept and undermining it entirely.

The onus was now on Najib as well as Chinese parties in BN such as the MCA and Gerakan to respond, and their response will be gauged to determine whether they were truly free to voice out their opinions or be mere “pawns” of Umno.

The MCA, Gerakan leadership should demonstrate whether they are willing to be held to ransom by Umno (or otherwise). Are they mere pawns of Umno?”

DAP tiada niat kuasai, rampas kerusi milik Anwar

KUALA TERENGGANU – Pengerusi DAP Terengganu, Ng Chai Heng menganggap tidak perlu timbul isu berhubung siapa pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat (PR) yang perlu menjadi Ketua Pembangkang walaupun kerusi PR di Parlimen didominasi DAP ketika ini.

Beliau mendakwa, perubahan kedudukan kerusi yang berlaku dalam PR akibat pengurangan kerusi Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PR) di Parlimen menyebabkan terdapat pihak tertentu cuba mencetuskan isu perkauman.

Menurutnya, pihak terbabit dilihat cuba mengheret masalah itu dengan menakut-nakutkan orang Melayu bahawa pemimpin DAP akan menjadi Ketua Pembangkang.

“Kita nampak ada pihak tertentu yang cuba membangkitkan isu perkauman dengan mengatakan masyarakat Cina dan DAP sudah kuasai PR. Pihak berkenaan cuba meraih simpati daripada orang Melayu,” katanya.

Beliau menegaskan, orang ramai tidak patut bimbang kerana PR sudah sepakat mengekalkan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim sebagai Ketua Pembangkang.

Menurutnya, hasrat memberi laluan kepada DAP tidak timbul sambil menyifatkan Anwar sebagai Perdana Menteri ‘menunggu’ sekiranya PR berjaya mentadbir kerajaan.-Sinar Harian
