‘Yes it is the dirtiest by-election’

DAP's Lim concurs with Gerakan president Mah Siew Keong that the Teluk Intan by-election is the dirtiest by-election

PETALING JAYA:  DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang concurred with Gerakan president Mah Siew Keong that the Teluk Intan by-election is the dirtiest by – election but added that it was the dirtiest because of BN.

“He (Mah) is right except that it is UMNO/BN “hired guns” who are responsible for making the Teluk Intan by-election the dirtiest in history.

Yesterday Mah Siew Keong said:   “This is actually to me (sic) is a very dirty election in Teluk Intan, with a lot of slandering and false things.

“I’m actually quite disappointed because the very first day I met Dyana, I told her let’s make this a clean fight,” he added.

Mah also has disassociated himself from the promises and carrots dangled by certain Umno leaders in their campaign.

Lim added that Mah must be held responsible for the dirty campaigns and character assasination conducted against Dyana by Umno and BN campaigners.

“It is just not acceptable for Mah to disclaim responsibility or pretend ignorance about such a major political and electoral scam,” he said.

Teluk Intan voters would be going to polls tomorrow following the death of their MP on May 1.  They have two choices – Dyana Sofya Mohd Daud of the DAP or Mah.
