After taking a swipe at MCA, Zainuddin Maidin has now trained his guns on the party-owned English daily, the Star.
The former information minister urged MCA president Liow Tiong Lai (left) to re-look the newspaper's attitude so that it does not become the voice of enemies within.
He also claimed that the daily had acted against MCA and BN during the last two general elections.
"The treachery it committed in the 2008 and 2013 general elections by playing up several sensitive issues hurt MCA, Umno and BN without MCA leaders being aware.
"Or was this a joint effort (involving MCA leaders)?" he asked in his latest blog posting.
Zainuddin also claimed that The Star has for a long time been "playing in the hands" of DAP as well as an "extreme and dangerous" Christian denomination.
The former Utusan Malaysia editor-in-chief said this particular Christian denomination has been banned in Singapore, but the "weak" Malaysian government continues to allow it.
Zainuddin said that he has kept paper cuttings of the English-language daily's "mischievousness" and its "many faces".
"I also received valid information that on the night of the 2013 general election, the (Star) chief editor was prepared to celebrate the fall of BN with his editorial comrades.
"But when BN returned to power, he went back into his office, looking embarrassed and sullen," he added.
Whatever said about Utusan Malaysia, Zainuddin pointed out, the Umno-owned daily has never been two-faced.
