Liar, Liar, Liar Wong Tack!

Stop The Lies

Wong Tack, a DAP man all along in disguise as the Green Man

What a conniving scum and a great liar.

Wong Tack, the man behind the movement of Himpunan Hijau, which has been opposing the Lynas rare earth project, surprised everyone when he was named as a DAP candidate to contest the Bentong parliamentary seat in the general election.

His candidacy was announced by Lim Guan Eng who said that Wong was a natural choice as both DAP and Himpunan wanted to see a greener Malaysia and the closure of the Lynas Corp rare earth plant in Gebeng.

We now know that Wong Tack had been hiding behind the mask of the green movement to brand himself as a champion against the controversial Lynas project to score political points.

This is evident from a China Press report on Thursday that Wong had been a DAP member since 2011 but does not hold any party post.

Since day one, he had fooled the people, especially the Gebeng folks. He failed to declare his political interest and had even been quoted by the Chinese newspapers that he had no political links or allegiance with any political party.

And in January this year only, Wong told Malaysia Insider that Himpunan Hijau did not see the necessity in fielding candidates for the 13th general election.

“At this moment, we don’t see the necessity but…feel that (we should) focus on strengthening Pakatan Rakyat’s position,” he was quoted as saying.

But now he is making a U-turn and has instead offered himself as a candidate.

This flip flop is amazing because just a month ago, he declared that he was not interested in politics and that he will not be contesting any seat.

Either he is suffering from Alzheimer or that he is a compulsive liar.  His stand on Lynas had also somewhat changed.

Now this drug-addict looking businessman says he agrees with Anwar Ibrahim who promised to back the controversial Lynas Advanced Materials Plant (Lamp) project in Gebeng should a new public inquiry prove it to be safe.

Anwar told Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald that if the Opposition managed to take over the Federal Government, he would fast-track the inquiry.

“If Lynas can come out with a convincing argument that there is no risk to public safety and security, I will be the first to champion the plant there,” he was quoted as saying, adding that he was not against development.

Both Wong and Anwar are now singing a different tune.

Now it seems that it doesn’t matter to Anwar that the Pakatan Rakyat’s manifesto had clearly pledged to halt Lynas operations if Putrajaya falls.

It is a betrayal of trust. The right honorable thing to do now is for Wong to step down as Himpunan Hijau’s chairman.

He should not cling on to the post anymore as his integrity and sincerity is questionable.
