One topic Malay and Chinese social media both agree on 100%

i.e. that Lim Kit Siang is the most despicable politician in Malaysian history.

The DAP’s oldest carnival barker – who took his “travelling circus” from town to town (MP Bandar Melaka → MP Petaling Jaya → MP Kota Melaka → MP Tanjong → MP Bukit Bendera → MP Ipoh Timor → MP Gelang Patah → MP Iskandar Puteri) – just lamented that he has been “the most demonised character in Malaysia for the past half a century”.

In his one millionth-and-one media statement issued to the public since 1966, Kit Siang today wrote that he has been accused of “being a Christian” (which he is not), “being a communist” (which he is not) and “being a Chinese” … which is debatable since he’s as strident in his Bangsa Malaysia rhetoric as his “I’m-NOT!-Chinese” son Guan Eng and their ‘We’re all-NOT!! -Chinese’ protege Hannah Yeoh.

Our “more than anything else” Malaysian First-Kit Siang also complains :

”I was even accused of being a relative of Chin Peng; responsible for the May 13, 1969 riots, leading the street demonstrations in Kuala Lumpur shouting anti-Malay and anti-Islam slogans, although I was never in Kuala Lumpur after the May 10, 1969 General Election; painted as quite a devil, a puaka, even jembalang; that I am anti-Malay, anti-Islam and at various times even anti-Indian, anti-Chinese educated Chinese , anti-English-educated Chinese; an agent of the KGB, CIA, MI6 and even Australian Intelligence.”

{{ Okay, okay, we get it. The so-called toxic “proponents of klepto-theocracy, with their arsenal of lies, falsehoods, hate and fear, pitting race against race and religion against religion” really, really don’t seem to like you, YB Lim. Urm, wonder why? }}

Kit Siang further grumbles at the double-fisted attacks assailing him, writing:

“In the Malay social media, I am painted as the arch-villain and the greatest threat to the Malays and Islam, while in the Chinese social media, I am painted as utterly unprincipled and opportunistic who had sold out the rights and interests of the Chinese community and am prepared to be a ‘lap dog’ of the Malay leaders in Pakatan Harapan government.”

{{  That’s absolutely correct. You’re a lap dog, running dog and more specifically a tiny chihuahua. }} -helenang
