Iskandar Puteri MP Lim Kit Siang has raised the red flags over what he claimed is a campaign to portray the DAP as the party out to get Education Minister Maszlee Malik.
Lim referred to a few politically-linked news sites reporting that DAP was purportedly pressuring Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad to replace Maszlee with his deputy Teo Nie Ching, who is from the DAP.
"There is no truth whatsoever in the postings, which are lies and falsehoods.
"DAP had never asked the prime minister to replace Maszlee with Teo as education minister and the DAP has nothing to do with any petition asking Maszlee to resign.
"Such a dastardly lie is only the beginning of more lies and falsehoods which will appear in the social media in the coming weeks to cause tension, division and disintegration of Pakatan Harapan," he said in a statement today.
Lim urged Harapan coalition members to exercise discipline in the face of purported efforts to create friction within the coalition.
"A new discipline is needed by all in all the parties in the Harapan coalition if the wreckers of the agenda of a New Malaysia are not to succeed, which can only bring back (former prime minister) Najib Abdul Razak, (fugitive businessperson) Jho Low and their string of mega kleptocratic scandals which will end up in Malaysia becoming a failed, rogue and kleptocratic state," he said. -Mkini
