Umno CM rotation promise ‘blatant lie’, says Penang DAP


August 02, 2011

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 2 — The Penang DAP has warned voters not to be fooled by Umno’s promise that it will not seek the chief minister’s post even if the party secures a majority in the state assembly.

State DAP secretary Ng Wei Aik said the statement was “rather odd” as Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin proposed a few years ago to rotate the post among Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties in the state.

Ng pointed out that a similar system was put in place in Sabah in 1994 but was abolished after Umno took up the chief ministership of the state following BN’s landslide victory in Election 2004.

“This is the game the Umno always plays. Their goal is to dominate every state in Malaysia eventually,” he said in a statement today.

“The two states without an Umno chief minister or mentri Besar are Penang and Sarawak. Umno is looking into making inroads in these two states eventually.”

Ng, who is also Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng’s political secretary, said that even if Umno allowed other BN component parties to helm the state administration, it would likely dictate what policies to pursue.

“[Will] this chief minister have to listen to Umno for every single policy set by the Penang state government? A lame-duck chief minister will not be able to make Penang... lead again,” he said.

“So who is Umno fooling? Their record tells the truth. Umno doesn’t care about multiracialism, their only goal is power! Let’s not be trapped by Umno’s blatant lies again!”
