If the roles are reversed and a non-Malay organisation had accused Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak of wanting to wipe out the Chinese or Indians, how would the authorities have reacted, asked Lim Kit Siang.
"Would the police and the Attorney-General's Chambers keep quiet to allow full licence for such lies, falsehoods and calumny to be publicly made against Najib.
"And if not, why are they keeping so quiet about the defamatory and inflammatory rantings by Isma (Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia)?" he asked.
The veteran politician was responding to Isma deputy president Aminuddin Yahaya, who accused Lim of wanting to "wipe out" the Malay race, their language and culture.
As for those calling him to sue Isma over its allegations, the Gelang Patah MP said he is awaiting advice from his lawyers.
Lim also said that he was grateful for the overwhelming support from netizens, who have used colourful language to condemn Isma's accusations.
However, the DAP leader said there was one comment on Malaysiakini, which was worth repeating and pondering upon.
The comment by "WDA" read, "Is this a pathetic attempt to neutralize the fact that DAP put forward a Malay candidate in the recent Teluk Intan by-election? Is ISMA saying that Dyana (Sofya Mohd Daud), an intelligent and confident woman, is a mere puppet?"
"Isn't that a slap in the face for all independent thinking and educated Malay women? If Isma can't give DAP some respect, at least show some to this new generation. Whether you like it or not, they are the future, and that is what scares you and keeps you awake at night."
