Penang DAP leader Satees Muniandy, who was dropped from the state election's candidate line-up announced yesterday, has decried the dangers posed by an "emperor" to the state and its people.
Speaking at a press conference, the incumbent Bagan Dalam assemblyperson also discounted the threat of the "Green Wave" to Penang and described it as a scare tactic employed by the “emperor” to turn voters against Perikatan Nasional.
"The 'Green Wave' term is to scare the people. It is used to make the 'emperor' more powerful.
"You (voters) don't get ‘Green Wave’, you get Xi Jinping," he quipped, in reference to the Chinese president who is renowned for being the powerful leader of the Chinese Communist Party.
Satees did not name the person he was referring to but implied that the latter is powerful enough to decide on the DAP candidates for Penang.
According to him, six out of the seven state executive councillors who were not selected to contest were those who supported caretaker chief minister Chow Kon Yeow to remain in office.
