Kit Siang opens fire on Najib, Umno, over 'Kit Siang communist' claim

Lim Kit Siang has called for greater vigilance and opposition to the politics of fear, hate and lies in the aftermath of the 14th general election.

The DAP leader said the situation doubled in toxicity when extremist politics of race and religion are thrown into the mix.

In a media statement this evening, Lim said he was shown a Whatsapp message accusing him of being a communist, that is making the rounds.

He also shared an excerpt of the message, which read: “Lim Kit Siang yg lahir di Funan negara China datang ke Tanah Melayu dgn bapak dia ditahun 1957. Mereka dapat ehsan dari org-org Melayu di Batu Pahat Johor. Umur Lim Kit Siang masa tu 16 tahun. Mula-mula bapak Lim Kit Siang cuma ternak ayam je, tapi kemudian ternak babi pula. Lee Kuan Yew bersekolah di Batu Pahat. Lee Kuan Yew guru Lim Kit Siang didalam fahaman Kominis & Yahudi. Dharurat di Malaya bermula dari tahun 1948 & berakhir pada 1960. Selepas tentera British meninggalkan Malaya (sebelum merdeka) kominis semakin bermaharajalela selama 12 hari. Batu Pahat pada masa tu jadi pusat pengganas kominis. Rumah bapak Lim Kit Siang jadi pusat kominis & mereka banyak bunuh org-org Melayu bunuh askar-askar Melayu. Masa umur Lim Kit Kat 18 tahun ditahan 1960 dia dah pakai uniform kominis.”

(“Lim Kit Siang who was born in Funan came to Malaya with his father in 1957. They received help from the Malays in Batu Pahat, Johor. Lim was 16 at the time, At first, his father reared chickens, but later reared pigs. Lee Kuan Yew went to school in Batu Pahat. Lee Kuan Yew was Lim Kit Siang's teacher in communist and Jewish ideologies. The emergency in Malaya began in 1948 and ended in 1960. After the British left Malaya (before Independence), the communist acted as lords for 12 days. Batu Pahat at the time became the centre for communist terrorists. Lim Kit Siang's father's house became a communist terrorist centre and they killed many Malays, killed Malay soldiers. In 1960, when Lim Kit Kat (sic) was 18, he was arrested and he was already wearing the communist uniform then.")

Lim pointed out there were more than a dozen lies in the paragraph, which he described as toxic.

The Iskandar Puteri MP also trained his guns on former premier Najib Abdul Razak claiming that the latter, together with Umno leaders and cybertroopers, is working on a new political agenda.

He claimed that these people have “psycho-ed” themselves into believing that the Pakatan Harapan government would not last before its term is over, to pave the way for their return to Putrajaya.

“Such vicious and toxic politics of fear, hate and lies accompanied by the extremist politics or race and religion had failed in the recent general election, as Malaysians, regardless of race, religion or region, have shown that their intelligence and wisdom must not be underrated or there would not have been a change of federal government in Putrajaya and in six states apart from Penang and Selangor.

“Although the practitioners of the politics of race, religion, hate, fear and lies are fighting a losing battle, their viciousness and toxicity cannot be underestimated, and Malaysians must continue to expose these political opportunists and crooks who want to destroy the Pakatan Harapan government and bring back Umno/BN to power,” he added. - Mkini
