PROMOSI BESAR-BESARAN LIM KIT SIANG OLEH NST
Terkejut melihat NST memberikan lima muka khas kepada taiko DAP, Lim Kit Siang, hari ini, dari muka depannya ke muka 2, muka 3, muka 4 dan muka 5.
Inilah adat dunia: Waktu DAP menjadi pembangkang NST antara yang lantang mengkritik DAP, tetapi kini bila DAP berkuasa ruang luas diberi kepadanya.
Antara petikan-petikan menarik kenyataan Lim Kit Siang:
(1) Tidak menjangka PH akan menang dalam PRU 14: “If you had asked me on the morning of May 9 (2018) whether there would be a change of government in the evening, I don’t think so.”
(2) Tidak benar orang-orang Melayu terancam: “If after 60 years of UMNO rule and the Malays are still under threat, something is very wrong.”
(3) Tidak pernah menyatakan Tun Dr Mahathir rasuah: “You can go through all my statements. It’s all on record. I’ve never said Dr Mahathir is corrupt.”
(4) Setuju ke arah parti-parti berbilang kaum: “I think we should move towards a more multiracial objective: from race-based to multiracial parties.”
(5) Setuju parti-parti berasaskan kaum membuka keahlian: “I think it’s a process (for race-based parties like UMNO and BERSATU to open their doors to other races).”
(6) Tidak setuju penghapusan sekolah vernakular: “You have countries where they speak one language and they still fight. It is the concept.”
(7) Setuju perdana menteri bukan berbangsa Melayu: “That is the ideal (situation). After all, the Federal Constitution says anybody can become prime minister.”
(8) Tidak akan menarik balik dakwaan sebelum ini: “I will not retract a single word of what I’ve said before (on old corruption cases like Maika Holdings).”
(9) Peralihan kuasa perdana menteri akan berjalan lancar: “I think PH has decided upon the timetable, I’m sure it is on track. I think it has been agreed upon…”
(10) Merahsiakan perbincangan dengan Tun Dr Mahathir: “Surely, you don’t expect me to tell you (on the things discussed with Dr Mahathir in recent meeting).”
(11) PH perlu memerintah dua atau tiga penggal: “PH should be allowed enough time to implement its mission and ideals of a new Malaysia, which will take may be two or three election cycles.”
(12) Pertambahan MP BERSATU tidak menjamin keselesaan Melayu: “I think insecurities of any segment of the population do not necessarily associate with the number of MPs of any party.”
(13) Pembesaran saiz PH tertakluk kepada keadaan: “Whether it (PH) will expand to include others (like) WARISAN, I think it’s something to be (looked into) when the time comes.”
