(Petaling Jaya, Friday): Enough is enough. I have never come across so many lies and falsehoods by the trio in the past week. I have enough of the lies and falsehoods by the trio and party leaders will not respond to their lies anymore. We will leave it to the party members and the public to decide whether they are trying to pave the way so that they could succeed in their appeal or are prepared, regardless of the price, to destroy the Party altogether.
In Parliament, Barisan Nasional MPs have taken up the KOKS call and championed the trio. What is sad is that they have helped the Barisan Nasional Government and MPs to distract attention in Parliament from the great issues of the people and country, as whether the Asset Management Corporation (AMC) is going to be a RM25 billion bail-out company for selected troubled companies and individuals, whether the RM160 billion Employees Provident Fund and the monthly RM1.2 billion increase of the EPF contributions belonging to nine million EPF contributors would be raided to provide the scarce funds for such bail-outs and why after one year, the government has failed to restore confidence without which there could be no economic turnaround and recovery.
It is clear that there are larger forces which are trying to exploit the DAP crisis to destroy the DAP's chances in the next general elections and, even more important, to frustrate the people's hopes and aspirations for a new political beginning in Malaysia where there would be justice, freedom, democracy and good governance.
DAP leaders are determined that we will not allow the hidden hand to succeed and we are not going to allow our energies and resources to be distracted from the Support, Sympathy and Solidarity with Lim Guan Eng campaign and the national movement for justice, freedom, democracy and good governance.
